He wasn't contesting for president of Lagos

The other states saw the wonders he did in Lagos and wanted it replicated in Nigeria

Other Nigerians saw the state of Obis Anambra and rejected him

You are blabbing like bala blu,

You said he campaigned using the wonderful things he did during his time in Lagos. That's your key point.

Mine is why then did Lagos reject him and preferred Peter Obi that didn't do anything in Anambra?

E don red for LP

https://www.nairaland.com/7694993/court-sacks-alex-otti-assembly

Kangaroo judgement

1. Only a tribunal can nullify an election.

2. The so called person that represented LP was suspended by the party.

3. No due notice was served to the party.

This is part of the rubbish our justice system is known for and why they lack any credibility. This court in Kano is a disgrace to our judiciary and they are fond of this. Always passing out judgement and rulings that violates our constitution and creating problems here and there.

raumdeuter:
The entire Nigeria admired him for what he did in Lagos and voted for him, the majority of voters from other states saw and wished their state could be like Tinubus Lagos while Obi was beaten to stupor

While Obis I have 1 shoe I bought 20yrs ago, I have 1 shirt was rejected roundly

At the moment Obi is telling America not to interfere with Nigerias democratic process while Chimamanda is writing letter to the same America begging them to interfere

But the Lagos he actually did it for admired Peter Obi.

Maddo!!!

Is it a case of LP becoming so much attractive now, or that the enemies are doing extra work?

Guys which one do you advice me on getting? We are still in a 4g regulated state 9ja. 5g is not really available so is there a need for me to get the 5g router or just go with the 4g mifi and save cost.

The 5g will still give you 4g services. So go for the 4g. Whenever 5g becomes good to go, then you can go for it.

He don rush go siddon. Didn't any person advice this man that it's where the main oga is that is the high table not the table that's in front.

Peter Obi does not recognise you, so why stress yourself regarding his mandate? Your claim is not even that of chairman but of 'acting' chairman. He should have just held his claim quietly until a good time to strike. Now no matter his genuine reason, people will still consider him a mole and a hireling of the APC.

My guess is that, Lamidi Apapa may just be fighting for a cause he thinks is right without knowing that Arambambi who is the main person urging him on has already collected 'aka azu' from Tinubu.

She will have a long career thanks to Don jazzy not because of her voice. Everything in that industry na packaging.

What will keep her long in the industry is her style of afrobeat which is a mixture of RnB and reggae and she got the voice type to match it.

But then people get bored easily being served the same style all the time.

monerozi5590:
What do you mean ""explicit," Is the Pandora Paper Report a joke to you? No saint among them all.

Pandora report only exposed the worth of Peter Obi. It's more like that Obi is richer than we thought. There's no criminality involved. I wonder how APC people cannot fact find before spreading useless propaganda. You think that if Pandora was a criminal report, Festus Keyamo (or any Agbadoist) would not have gone to court like he did against Atiku?

Corruption in this country is getting worse by the day
The excuse will be Nigeria is not rich yet they are consuming the one we have, UK did a breakdown of what was spent on the queen's burial and I am sure every department can account for every penny.
But call even a sug president to give account of how his tenure went he will start convulsing gasping for breath like we sign his death warrant.

This is so unfortunate because there's nothing we can do, just this week a court in ekiti sentenced 3 people to death for stealing phones while we worship and asslick our criminal politicians

The excuse the judges give us that stealing government money is less evil than stealing phones because the temptation is higher.

Itsrm:
I was watching an interview of Buba Galadinma on Arise and he claimed it can take up to 5bn to prosecute a presidential election in court

And why won't it? Imagine INEC requesting 1.5m to access election materials in Sokoto State alone

Everything about this country is just so strange

They couldn't deny it in court and even insisted. What a wasteful country.

Honestly, there should be a law to jail not only fraudulent but also wasteful public officials. But then... This is Nigeria.

iamoyindamola:
They play, what trophy has rice won for club and country
Tielemans have fa cup and community shield
Lavia is already playing for Belgium NT ahead of awilo
Zubi is a starter for soceidad and in the Spain team

They play, rice will guarantee you league right?

It's not about Rice, it's about getting the right players. If the manager thinks Rice has the qualities needed, he should go for him instead of stuffing the squad with cheap articles. Na still you go complain pass for here.

Roland17:
And another one!

N224B to print papers, train staff and other miscellaneous. N224B!!!!!!!

I bet you they will request for additional funds when the census is rescheduled to do another round of printing and training because this one wen dem print go disappear!

Na who do us this thing abeg!

https://www.nairaland.com/7693862/how-fg-spent-over-n200bn

INEC spent over 300bn to conduct a sham of an election and have mapped out 4bn to defend it.

Itsrm:
Isn't the annual budget of NDDC 500bn? What do they do with it? Just a few projects here and there and every other thing stolen. The last time the MD of NDDC appeared at the national assembly, he fainted

Look at the governor of a state like Zamfara stealing 70bn. How much do you think the Wikes, Udoms, Okowas have stolen? Perhaps, this why none of them is going to the senate. They have enough money to last 10 generations.

No one should even come with that Nigeria is not generating enough revenue or not collecting enough tax again. Even if that is true, no way things are this bad if our politicians have any atom of conscience in them.

The idea of governance in Nigeria is that it's a means of fortune and hitting big. Unless there's a true patriot who comes to power, the cycle will only get worse.

iamoyindamola:
Waste of money IMO
Tielemans free
Zubi 40m
Lavia 20m
We can get 3 heads for 1 head and still collect change I no like this kind deal, we are not rich to be throwing money around
Look at that Pepe deal we are still suffering from it

Waste of money?

Biko I prefer one good player than a crowd of mediocres that will bottle the league after 37games.

PL manager of the season nominees...

Pep Guardiola (Man City), Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Eddie Howe (Newcastle), Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton), Unai Emery (Aston Villa), Marco Silva (Fulham)

Arteta, Howe, or Pep should win this one.

Arsenal surpassed expectations to finish second with excess of 80points. A massive improvement from their previous 5th position last season.

People undervalue Pep with the assumption that he has the best players in the league, but this is not true. He makes them the best. City are good because of Pep Guardiola.

Newcastle will surpass expectations if they usurp any of Man United or Liverpool to make top 4. Howe was able to put together a team to challenge the traditional top 6.

Shegzdave:
If I’m to assess the performance of the boys this season compared to previous seasons, no doubt they were superb but why aim for the sky if you can aim for the moon? At the beginning of the season, we weren’t sure we’ll make top4 but along the line, the title was in our hands, why shouldn’t our focus be on the title even after dropping out of other competition?

Like I said, Why aim for the sky when you can aim for the moon??

You think the boys deliberately scuttled their title chances? You think they were not fighting to win the title? Na wa o. May be you need to go back to some of their comments then or see how they themselves felt disappointed.

No. They gave it their best shot but it wasn't good enough to upstage Man City. It is therefore disgraceful for anyone to call them bottlers.

See your bolded.

iamoyindamola:
No be una they blame saka for pk lose, odegaard for playing rubbish just now
Which kind amala turning be this

iamoyindamola:
Zinchenko didn't play against city, lfc, soton and westham too right

Apart from City, we didn't lose any of those matches, but he didn't play against Brighton yet we lost 3-0 at home abi, you said he is the reason Arteta is a bad coach.

Which kind of biased analysis is this? Abi you think say people nor dey reason well for this thread? Like I said look for another point to nail Arteta, this one has failed. Woefully!!!

Shegzdave:
What happened in the Emirates should be the justification for the anger shown by the fans scattered around the world, when I saw the fans trooping out, I was totally disappointed and angry that the boys bottled the league.

For the records, nobody is throwing the boys under the bus for that, we’re only angry at the way they bottled the league by carelessly loosing points and saying we overachieved this season, abi overachievement get another meaning?

My dear, the people that called their club bottlers are the same people that said we overachieved. Below are posts here by the same people when they said our target for this season was top four. So how come did they change overnight to say we should have won the league and therefore we are bottlers for not winning the league?

Roland17:
Let me help calm your insecurities…

Last season the goal was to get back to Europe, the Europa league particularly. However, we had a good chance to make it into the UCL but we blew it and many of us were disappointed.

The goal this season is to make the top 4 and return to the UCL. The owners have backed Arteta with good investment to help achieve this goal. The battle for top 4 is going to be tough as always, consequently, every victory is important.

#COYG

iamoyindamola:
I am happy edu confirm we must qualify for UCL this coming season, interested in what will happen if we don't
I don't pray we don't because we will lose alot of players but I want to know what will happen
As for edu he should have said this last season when fans were angry na

iamoyindamola:
I know they will start hand picking players for blame
Blame saka that won us points, blame ramsdale that won us points, blame odegaard
But you won't arteta that instructed zinny to be roaming about in the midfield when his primary position is been exploited
How many goals did we concede from such mistake toward the end of the season

Zinchenko did not play against Brighton and we got beaten 3-0 at home.

So you see that the only point you have to criticise Arteta is pointless. In fact most people felt Zinny's absence affected the lack of control in midfield. But then agenda must have to agend, if not you cannot sleep well.

Shegzdave:
Did you watch the match against Brighton? If you did, do you see how the fans trooped out of the stadium when they were loosing 2 nill?

The fans were angry at the performance and the bottling and they expressed their displeasure by walking out before the match ended cause they were disappointed but some of our fans over here don’t want us to criticize the team when they Bleep.ed up.

Criticism gives room for Development.

Even the most diehard Arsenal fans were disappointed with the outcome of the game and it's overall implications (that we have lost the title chase). My dear no one was happy.

Now, if you were to assess the performance of the team for the season as a whole, would you consider them as failed? Yes, No, or explanation.

Roland17:
You are playing in the most competitive league in the world, who is supposed to be chasing you? Did we play City when we dropped 3 consecutive shambolic performances..How about the City performance when it mattered the most? AC Milan made it to the semi finals in a knockout competition, they did not choke any lead in the competition!

Whatever excuse you make now is unacceptable unless you withdraw the excuse you gave to Milan. If not it's simply hypocrisy and subjective reasoning.

If you have the great mentality of champions that you claim we lacked in Arsenal, then you should not have accepted the shambolic performance of your darling club in the CL against their backyard rivals. I mean, how do you excuse that? They were not even playing against a top European team (Barcelona, R Madrid, Bayern, Man City and Man United, Liverpool, PSG or even Juventus) by standard, they were against their backyard neighbours and were beaten blue black in two legs in the same pitch (their own) under the same fans, in their own city.

Twice beaten, not shy.

mostob:
The bolded is just apt. Tell me before that Liverpool match that arsenal were not expected to win the league. Who has the highest winning percentage between City and arsenal?

Even when we were 5points ahead so to say (we played a game extra) we were still not the favourites by the bookmakers to win the league. Man City have been the favourites through out this season till today. So therefore the basis and foundation of which you termed them bottlers (especially in comparison with Milan) is a faulty one all along.

mostob:
I'm talking about expectations and targets from this current arsenal team using the Milan scenario. Wetin concern me with Milan?
It is simple na.

What are the difference in expectations and target between Arsenal and Milan?


It doesn't matter how you twist and turn, the simple fact is that you fell into the trap of excusing Milan's loss but not Arsenal's. That's called hypocrisy.

mostob:
All these excuses about pressure from City no carry weight abeg. Every title winners have in one way or the other faced pressure from rivals. We all knew City would be a strong contender from the onset. Don't tell me you're blaming our fall on pressure mounted by City.

If you think the pressure didn't count then why did you call them mediocres aka bottlers?

It's like you say what you don't mean.

Roland17:
Investigative jounalism, e nukwa!!!!

My Milan side did not choke a 2 goal lead in the semi-finals. This Milan side did not stop playing after getting out of the group stage, they made their way into the semi finals of the biggest club competition. Who is Arsenal competing against?

I have said it before that you guys are hasty writers who are chasing shadows. My Milan side had every right to stop playing and pursing the UCL after the group stages but they did not. If you read the post he was making reference to, you should once again see the difference highlighted in both situations.

Last season, Milan were champions, did anyone predict they had any chance? But guess what? They found themselves in a position to win it all and they buckled down and won the league because that is what you should do!

You just can't serve two masters.

You will be considered trolling if you say anything against Arsenal.

Jodera:
Mr Near.

We should lose two games against a team we're topping with 5points and we'll still top them?

Weh done Sir!!

Imagine beer parlour analysis to win league. That means if Sod was the manager, he would have bottled the league without even realising it. He will be lifting a ghost PL title . Lol 🤣

Jodera:
You see, that's my issue.

Most of you claim you didn't throw the team and the coach under the bus but most of you guys post here says otherwise.

Talking about how the team is shambolic or Arteta isn't good and why they're bottlers is throwing the team under the bus. Like Spy said, you all are looking at the final result instead of the overall process. That's akin to saying Saka is a bad player in euros2020 because of the missed Pk. Knowing how badly England needed that win the way we needed this league, maybe you guys can agree with them that Saka is a bottlejob in that competition too

Tbh, we need to be realistic and most of us aren't. We still think arsenal prior this season was an elite team when we all know Arteta Is making us to get there. Team that haven't been in UCL for the past 6-7yrs.

If you watch this season well, first half of the season, we played beautifully knowing fully well we were looking for top 4. We kept on winning our matches as out then rivals kept on dropping points. It reached a stage we were no longer looking at them(and ourselves) and more at Man city. Mistakes ordinarily Partey and Odegaard wouldnt make, they were making it back to back and the worst part is that it was costly as it yielded to opponent capitalising and scoring us. If you think the players didn't feel the title pressure which is a different kinda pressure ... Abeg think again.

The good thing is that they have the experience now. They are very young and not even at their peak. We'll surely get better with their experience and hopefully by good signings same way we did last season entering into this season.
This is what I'm looking forward to, not doing as if this team is at their peak hence shouldn't have faltered. The way most of you are saying it, someone will think we might not have another chance again next season. They may be right and they might also be wrong, but one thing is certain, a person or team on the ascendancy would always have another opportunity compared to the team that isn't.

That's what I'm banking on with respect to this season's performances, their age profile, the talent in the squad and possible good additions.

Anybody wey never fail before, make him raise hand up!

No hands

mostob:
We didn't lost the league because City was chasing us. We lost the league due to woeful performances.
A win against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton and we would still be ontop regardless of City's performances.

You think it's easy to win matches under pressure from City and injuries?

A Liverpool fan told me few weeks ago, that he saw hell chasing or being chased by City. We caved in due to pressure.

We will finish with over 81points, that will be about what Napoli needed to win their league. PSG and Bayern have less points and still top their leagues.

I am not going to support the ban wagon of jesters who know not about mentality because their mediocre analysis cannot wash away the improvement Arsenal have achieved this season.

If AC Milan can be excused then it is biased argument not to excuse Arsenal too.

mostob:
Jodera, UCL and EPL are different competitions. If Arsenal should reach the semi final of the UCL next season and lose to Madrid or even Bayern, the players will be applauded. That is it. You can't compare both scenarios.

What is this you are saying? AC Milan got to the SF to face their arch rivals who share the same stadium with them and couldn't even score a goal in two legs, yet you say they should be applauded. Applauded for what please? For losing to their mate or for their super mentality that Arsenal should learn from?

Bros you are either biased or afraid to shake table. Simple.

I am interested in what Iamoyindamola has to say about this. 😂

Jodera:
Spy360, This is when you know someone have fair assessment when it has nothing to do with Arteta.

AC Milan...

Target — qualify from group stage.

Milan actually qualified from the group stage, punched above their weight but lost the s/f.

Verdict: The team tried and they punched above their weight. Proud of the lads. It's a success

Arsenal...

Target — Qualify for top 4

Arsenal actually qualified for Top4 and punched above their weight to compete for the league

Verdict: Arsenal are bottlers and both the team and the coach no try. It's a failure. Underachievers!!

In the second paragraph, You'd be forgiven to think reaching and losing in semifinals is a trophy the way arsenal is derided for finishing second

Issorait!!
