₦airaland Forum

Warripikine:
He admitted that the country is at a critical stage and should debate whether to remain united as one Nigeria or break up.

Tinubu said this at a democracy lecture organised by the Nigerian Youth Congress with the theme “Nigerian Democratic System and Good Governance: The Journey So Far,” in Abuja.

“Nigeria seats at a crucial junction. Do we advance by doing what is right or do we settle for what is not so easy?

“Our nation’s journey is one of continuous struggles. We have struggled many times, yet never shall we fall. We are Nigerians and shall remain so.

Represented by James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives, Tinubu urged Nigerian youths to work together to solve the nation’s security challenges.

This, he said, could be achieved through dialogue and positive engagement with the political elite.

Tinubu is dead on arrival.

fozapi:
Exactly he said it all and now it is only a matter of time

Keep encouraging people to read. If not for Nnamdi Kanu, we would have been overrun not just by being massacred but by being sold into lack of knowledge.

Jodera:
Hmmm.. You've a point sha. But if only our negotiating team is good, we for at least find one maga. But your point is still valid tho

Just worrying that we're always losing players for free. See welbeck,mustafi ramsey etc
So many players wey we get and we fit maga even if na small to average club, but na dash we dey always dash

It's worrying mehn

Unless you want us to sell our best players. Top clubs don't sell players for profit. The main matter self is that we don't have many top talents that will attract huge fees eg Grealish, McGinn, Mings, Phillips etc are all Aston Villa and can fetch at least 50m each.

fozapi:
There's nothing to discuss man, discussion Don already discuss Imself, the center can no longer hold and you know the rest

Achebe saw this many many years ago.

Things fall apart.

There was a country.

Abeg make some one quickly find Onions nd cow meat make we take save @ O.p cuz hunger don flog sense/logic commot for him head .


Hold on @ fozapi Arrewa nd Onionbandit are coming to your rescue.....


Before i forget.... What would you like to wash down the onion nd cow meat?

Camel urine or cow urine??

As for dessert,..... i got you covered!

Cowshit pudding nd some gworo

Should I blame your mother for opening her leg or your father for not using raincoat?

Ministry is personal. But church is universal. SCOAN can operate without the GOs wife succeeding him. The members only need to ensure his family are well cared for.

Jodera:
I know lacazette contract is expiring next season reason why I want him sold this season. It's really getting out of hand that we mostly allow our players to run down their contract without always getting a dime. They should look for way to get buyer for him joor.

As for xhaka, the news of his ongoing sale negotiations been sweet my body that I thought arsenal can get even if it's 25m from him. Since those overseeing the negotiations of selling/buying players aren't good in convincing at all.

Anyways, I can still be Ok for xhaka to be in the team but not Lacazette abeg

The thing is who will take them, pay their signing fees and huge salaries?

Hence there's few options than to let them run down their contracts.

Jodera:
Lacazette no go Euros na..
Why dem no wan sell am?
I don off lacazette and xhaka for arsenal heading to next season for my mind oo.
I no wan hear say we enter Sept with them abeg

Lacazette contract will finish next season. So even if he stays na till Jan or free.

As for Xhaka, I keep saying it, if we can't get a better replacement abeg leave the guy make we manage am.

Jodera:
There's more than meet the eyes in all these things.
Also, is there a possibility of Arteta being so high-handed?

I think he is. His facial look (that seriousness unlike that of Klopp) says a lot. He always speaks straightforward no jokes. .Even Wenger throws jabs at times.

emae009:
smh... you just ended up displaying your ignorance.
the notch is an iPhone OG design, that Android OEMs copied it in 2017 doesn't mean Apple has to change it. Do you even know what tech is behind the notch?
it's 2021, before you display your ignorance in public at least do some research, it will help you. THIS IS NOT A DISS, it's a legit advice.

What's special about iPhone compared to Android?

johnjunior39:
I.

I still believe that Ben White is just an English media hyped only nothing else. I really wish the will loan Saliba to Newscatle and then let us watch how it will turn out between him and White.

Saliba has been openly critical of Arteta for some weeks now. That may explain some things.

johnjunior39:
I dont know what people are seeing in this Isak boy eh but abeg, I say no to defensive forwards again.i am tired of media hype, Oga score goals forget all this he contributed thing.

I still believe that Ben White is just an English media hyped only nothing else. I really wish the will loan Saliba to Newscatle and then let us watch how it will turn out between him and White.

Any decent striker will do. Isak is decent when you look at his performance both in Europe and club level. He has the skills to cause danger inside the box. I only hope his finishing is equally as good. Countries like Czech, Croatia, Slovakia, Hungary etc have some very decent players who do not find their way into mainstream Europe. They are also quite cheap. I'm just thinking.

Jodera:
Lol... I know you're being sarcastic, but even at that, we should be sad that someone like Villa not man city or Liverpool are looking at our young player. At least, over 9yrs ago, it was barca, man city and man u that were doing the bidding not Everton or Villa. Then to bid 20m for Esr knowing his potential and how good he was for us last season is actually a very very big slap on our face. In fact, when I interprete that bid, you know wetin dey run through my mind?

Mehn, na falling hands levels any how wey we wan place am

Despite them knowing we need an AM, yet they want to take away the only shining light we have. Chai! Insult.

Jodera:
Of course we can hold them accountable but if they don't get good players, even if/when they're sacked, the new coach or TD coming in will have to change the dross being left behind and that's another cycle all over again.
One thing is certain, if any new and sensible coach comes, we're sure that he'll still use saka, KT, partey, Gabriel ESR and most good players.
But just imagine they pile up Willians for the new coach, is it not still another cycle and overbloated squad all over again? Akin to us having dem mustafis and kolasinacs?
Mehn, we need to get it right with the recruitment at least, so even if they're sacked, we can look hopefully into the future, not all these shenanigans they're playing for us

Honestly. Thank God it's just my emotions that will suffer. The Kroenke's will lose money as well.

Jodera:
As if you know wetin dey my mind.
Reason why I'm just saying let transfer window end first lemme see how things are so that I won't jump into conclusion. But from the way I'm seeing it, that's exactly the politics I feel they're playing. Then just add one player, then rinse and repeat

For now I am not putting my mind I to anything. Off course I will get excited if new players are signed but I am not putting my mind. I am just going to hold people accountable for their actions and decisions. For example I want Kroenke to leave, and Edu and Arteta sacked for the rubbish they dished us last season. I know it's not going to happen but that's my stance.

So whether we buy players or not or how much we spend or who we buy isn't my problem any longer, I just want those making the decisions accountable. Next season we will evaluate them again and demand for accountability whether we get it or not, we keep demanding.

Jodera:
You sef see am na.
Even clubs or coaches wey dey troway talent with such amount bought dey at least give dem even if na small playing time. But our own dey different.
No be say we even get the money sef to dey dole around oo

We are not showing seriousness. I see politics being played. Act like you want to buy then suddenly the TW is over and then say, January we'll sign so and so.

BuyAndSellStuff:
Your intelligence level is too low.
Don't worry, when you finally break free of the curse you just placed on yourself, you will have learnt the hard way.

Note that it won't affect your relatives or family who know nothing of your stupidity, just you.

Stop shying away. How is it a curse? I was praying for you. Just say amen. That's it.

Jodera:
Worst part is £27m will go down the drain, yet the club will be claiming "financial constraints".

I don't know how this will have an impact on potential young signings from France cos this is so so bad...

Had we added another 23m we would have signed Aouar. What a waste.

BuyAndSellStuff:
You mean your wishes on you?
When you get out of this ordeal you just landed yourself, next time, you will learn to caution your tongue.

Whether you like it or not, since you support Buhari and you are happy/satisfied about how he is leading this country, your life and your generations unborn will be like how Buhari has made Nigeria. It is your portion. Amen.

You should be shouting sai baba.

Awesometo:
Good evening lovely people, please someone should help me with frequency for tvm Madagascar. I did blind scanning but couldn't find the channel. Thanks in anticipation.

Na Sterling score. Na Saka off shirt.
Kokaneprodigy wetin dey do ur players?

He win Bet Naija...

BlueRayDick:
One thing is clear, whoever is at the helms of affairs either Arteta, Edu or any other person we don't know surely doesn't believe in our present young players. It took a run of bad games for the Smith-Rowe to be given a shot, Azeez and Balogun's growth seem to have been stunted, Martinelli was denied playing chances several times he was available for selection last season etc.

Well if they don't believe in our current youth players like they are acting, one would think their focus in the transfer market is to get established players who can come in and hit the ground running, but all these names that keeps popping up as our transfer targets are just puzzling . It makes no sense having abundant talents in our youth system and yet we will spend millions to bring more youngsters in.....No be juju be that?

The way he depended on Saka and ESR like life support, I believe Arteta's eyes have opened. Personally, I prefer a balanced blend. I prefer a spine (GK, CD, CM and Striker) of older players with youths as ribs (FBs, wingers).

BuyAndSellStuff:
I wish you everything you wish a thousandfold. Amen.

You should be shouting amen as you know that what the man is doing is good to you.

Meanwhile,

God forbid your wishes on me. Tufia Kwa!

lokobyforch:
He won the general elections, and I believed you voted your choice... majority will always have their way, while minority will have their say(like you just did)

Why are you preaching? Just say amen or Amin.

After all, sai Baba.

BuyAndSellStuff:
Buhari must run for third term

Ok.

May God in heaven make your life and those of your generations like Buhari's Nigeria. Amen and amen.

Sai Baba

lokobyforch:
Following the agitations from all regions of the country, Buhari finally decided to take a bow and leave the day to day running of government to the National Youth Service Corps so as to put an end to the insecurities across the country.

For una mind, una never see anything...we move. PMB must come back again and again and again.

No problem.

May your life and those of your generations yet unborn be like the Nigeria Buhari is making. Amen and amen.

Sai Baba

BlueRayDick:
Since the signing of Saliba and seeing how it played out, I've been scpetical of Arsenal signing players younger than 21.

I mean it looks as if any youngster Arsenal signs may not transit immediately into the starting lineup which makes me wonder why sign these youngsters then? Why not sign established players if that's what the coach/management believes in?

I think there was this guy/scout that was good at getting young talents for us but is no longer with us. Even Martinelli is a bit suspicious as he wasn't called up to Brazil Olympics team

BlueRayDick:
How good is this Lokonga guy the club is trying to sign ?

I mean he needs to be so good ooo, becuase It won't make sense if we bring a fairly unknown 20 year old into the team to replace Guendouzi that has enjoyed some playing time in the EPL and also had garnered more experience playing on loan in the Bundesliga.

Let's just hope it's the kind of signings that will yield result.

BlueRayDick:
Oga Spy u like quarrel pass fight . Shey no be this same nairaland people dey call Guardiola "fraudiola" implying he's a fraud despite winning everything winnable in club football ? Did heaven fall ?

You may not agree with his opinion that Southgate is one of the dumbest coach around or that Southgate is not tactically sound.....methinks you could've countered his post with an argument superior to his own instead of attacking him and trying to form savage.

There's nothing wrong in what he has said that warrants u to shade him like u just did. Life no hard reach like that. Haba

No mind me o. @Jodera

Jodera:
.... Of course!!

Sometimes you take things too serious Mr Spy and it baffles me too.
But hey, you're right.

You're very right cos we shouldn't voice our opinion and don't say what's on our mind on a forum like this that's opened for us cos
1... We didn't play in the best league
2... We didn't coach the best players
And so on and so forth.

We shouldn't as well criticize Arteta nor call him apprenticeship trainee since in your opinion everything, anyone at the helms of affairs do is right. Lol.

Sometimes, I wonder what most of you guys think this nairaland forum is for if not to drop opinions and possible suggestions for Christ sake..


But like I pointed earlier, you're right.
We're all wrong for not bottling our thoughts inside so we don't sound more than Alex Ferguson!
Bravo boss!!

Sounding an opinion is different from you claiming to be more tactically sound than an international manager. Unless we are just catching cruise, for me that's inappropriate and we should avoid such derogatory remarks. It makes it hard for rationality in discussions.

Jodera:
Reason why I said Southgate is one of the most dumbest coach. But let's look at facts.

Saka is a winger, so the position he's fighting with includes Rashford, sterling, Sancho, grealish, and I'm sure he's the least amongst those 4 in pecking order(at least according to Southgate)
If it's left back, chilwell and Shaw are also both above him in pecking order too.
So even if Southgate head correct and he starts putting right players at their proper positions, Saka might still not see shirt or minutes

Ordinarily, if I'm Southgate, Mount won't play my Am role(may be cm) cos I'll give that to saka or any of foden or grealish but we all know he (Southgate) is not tactical enough to think such

Well, I just know that as he's invited, he'll hardly see minutes, same as Calvert Lewin.

The kind of confidence you have in yourselves is mind blowing. How you claiming to be more tactically astute than Southgate who
1. Has played in the best league
2. With the best players
3. Under the best managers
4. Captained both club and country
5. Have been a football manager for over 6years
6. Including manager of a top football nation like England of all
...baffles me.

I hail your self belief SIR!

But this is nairaland. So faceless. You could be Sir Alex who knows.

What's the best sat now that 51e and 45e are gone?
