The guy is making sense here. He is saying he wants to support Tinubu and the girl is free to support whoever she wants to

What is bad in that

It's called idiocy

He is an idiot

According to Cipolla law the more idiots we have in society the more problems we have

Carlo Cipolla’s Theory of Stupidity, outlined in his 1976 essay, defines stupid people as those who cause losses to others while gaining nothing (or suffering losses) themselves. Cipolla posits that stupid people are more dangerous than bandits, their number is constantly underestimated, and they exist uniformly across all demographics.

God rest all the souls that have had to die because of the incompetence of APC and Nigerian policians in general.

So many persons that didn't need to die lose their lives daily because of politicians that just want to stack money they'd never get to spend.

People don't want for much, a simple organized country where rules count for something, that's enough to prevent needless deaths.

Will it be wrong to say that Nigeria as a state has failed?

A country where citizens cannot live is peace and practice their faith?

The government does nothing. Absolutely nothing. The president is only master strategizing about the next election.

You think anyone fighting a war against a more powerful foe is setting a high bar for winning?

So if a 300 pound bully comes into your house to beat you up you will be looking for a high bar method to defeat him?

Do You think this is a movie?

Make I no hear say US and Israel dey commit genocide from your mouth. Thatsall

Realmrsean:
what do you think should be Iran's bar in the war? If not to make sure the USA and Zionist regime doesn't succeed in any of their war plans and goals

Person kpai your supreme leader and his cohorts

Which bar you want set again when war don finish

The only bar is to kpai Trump or Netanyahu, any other bar is over the bar

MorataFC:
Yes, things are hard. Fuel prices have gone up not only in Nigeria but globally , and many people are struggling.
But we should stop exaggerating every story just because it fits our narrative and the circumstances we already have.
No rational person will keep running a daily loss business on daily basis and continue like that consistently

Critical thinking matters. Not every claim is false, and at the same time, not every claim should be accepted without questioning.
How can you go to work on daily basis, and come back with minus 5k, and you still go the following day and continue with that repeatedly?


If we turn every story into unquestioned truth, then we become like zombies.

Instead of stammering why don't you keep quiet and save yourself from unnecessary stupidity?

Very unnecessary.

People's reality is what you're chasing clout with

Watch this APC supporter on national TV lie that Tinubu created over 7,000 jobs in the Southeast and when challenged he started stammering.

Why do these daft fools lie?

See this one too

Today marks one month since the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, which immediately spiralled into one of the largest regional wars the Middle East has ever seen.

One month in, none of the stated goals have been achieved, despite constant statements made by Trump about how much they had supposedly achieved.

Despite over 10,000 strikes being carried out on Iran so far, with hundreds still occurring every single day, Iran is still launching ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and the Gulf States every day,

Iran's leadership remains firmly in place and shows no signs of cracking, despite the death of Khamenei on day 1. There is no major unrest in Iranian cities, and pro-regime demonstrations continue to this day, despite US and Israeli calls for a popular uprising against the regime.

Oil prices continue to remain extremely high, despite efforts by Trump and the US to calm worries of future price rises.

The Houthis officially joined the war on the side of Iran today, which risks additional economic issues in the event of a blockade of the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Hezbollah continues to fire hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel and IDF positions every single day, and the IDF continues to face continuous ground resistance in southern Lebanon, despite the elimination of most of Hezbollah's leadership and other serious degradations in 2024 and constant strikes against them since then.

The US is being forced to bring in new troop reinforcements and firepower to the Middle East which they did not have in the region before the war, which proves they are facing more resistance than expected and the war timeline is not going to plan.

It is safe to say that despite serious blows to Iran's military capabilities and an obvious U.S. and Israeli superiority in military capacity, the war is not going to plan.

Iran's strategy of launching small numbers of ballistic missiles at a time in order to degrade western interceptor stockpiles while increasing the longevity of their own ballistic missile stockpiles is proving successful. Interception rates are now beginning to sharply drop off, and Israel and Gulf States are beginning to ration their interceptors.

Remember, for the US and Israel to win, they have to achieve regime change and destroy all Iranian military capabilities. For Iran to win, they just have to survive and make it too costly for the US to continue.

There is almost no popular support for this war in the US and the wider Western World, let alone enough required to keep up a prolonged, costly war in an area on the other side of the world.

The coming weeks will be decisive. Trump has two options:

1. Commit to an all-out war by sending in troops for ground operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and possibly begin a full-scale ground operation on mainland Iran too.

2. Make false claims about the success of the war, shift the goalposts, and pull out to save face ahead of the midterm elections. Iran is betting on the second option, but is prepared for the first.

Isn't the bar you set for Iran to win the war shameful and degrading? To win war is to just survive?

I don't understand how a lot of Arsenal fans don't see this. If you talk about Gyokeres they start thinking you don't know ball.
Big shout out to Spy360 I can now understand a bit of what it felt like defending Havertz everyday. Cus the same fans that criticised kai heavily can't take or understand the little being said about Gyokeres.

Gyokeres cannot be as prolific in Arsenal and it's because of how we play.

I have said this several times.

The way Arteta uses his centre forward and how he positions his players in the attacking transition will not allow the CF score plenty goals because he is also creating chances or spaces.

If you check you will notice that Gyokeres goals output is similar to what Havertz did last season.

That was why I spent time and effort defending the guy. Now eyes don clear.

It's not the player's fault it's how the manager wants to play.

Arteta does not want to rely on a particular player for his goals, he wants his goals to come across the team. Arsenal has more goal scorers in the squad than any other team.

The disadvantage is to the striker but the advantage is to the team.

The fact that zubimendi is not giving us what we want, he should be rested for some games

What do you want that Zubimendi is not giving you?

daveP:
Its even for the middle role i wanted MLS sef. That guy is the youngest anti-press player I've seen in a long while. Manager is afraid to risk but he is rigid to lose. That's insanity. The kid at LB or inverting or breaking the 424 of man city would have defied everything a manager thinks he knows on paper. That is one beauty of the game. No be everything on paper dey absolute. Na him ruin the final. Na him still tell the players to watch City trophy parade again. He don overthink sotey he no fit comot the players doing rubbish.


The managers of the lowest class would simply overload the final third and force city back temporarily at least. If they wan do 424, then push 5 and let the gk load to any red shirt. Afterall he had Kai and Gyokores upfront. But this man refused to just risk it the right way. He owes his tough players an apology IMO.

Man probably doesn't see what Cala and MLS brings down from that left zone.


For me, aside the terrible display from certain key players, this one lies at Arteta's rigidness in a final. Abi baba tldey reason say 2nd leg dey ni?

We getting there sha.

The bolded na simple mathematics

mostob:
The bolded is not entirely true.
When you have Ben White at RB and you're playing City, the number one choice at LB is Hincapie.

Reason is Calafiori and White are attack minded while Timber and Piero are good defensively. In short, one must be attack minded while the other, defensive.

Although, on special occasion, this may not apply.. Maybe due to fatigue, injury or according to the state of the game (defending a lead or searching for a goal). I see MLS more like Timber but currently, MLS is off form. He needs to get his head in and channel the beast in him.

I concur entirely

iamoyindamola:
Have said it several times saka will go the way of rashford because of burnout and that's what we are seeing
An obsessed manager that will play him even in dead rubber matches
Omo I dan tire

You spoted it

daveP:
The approach was foolish sha. The tendedcy to suddenly go cautious vs a Man City that Dem Madrid and Bodo Glimt dey whip? If he was without ideas, all he needed to do was approach it the way these two ucl nightmares of Pep did it. Or simply watch clips pf Wenger's Wembley style and upgrade it. The pairing of Kai and Gyokores no dey ever sweet without Eze. Eze can play well with 1 or the other. Sadly he couldn't play today. But why didn't he then try MLS then . I know many might say this or that but that guy no send City he's direct and loves to make their backline quiver. They were too comfy and when possesion turned, there was nobody to run and press. Kai can't Gyokores needs Eze or Odegaard if na out of possession situation.


Las las, this was self destruct today. City are hibernating but the quick succession of goals was something else. Kepa went on like Nepa. 😥😥

25/28 last available trophies out of reach is what many others will sack a manager for. The 3/28 were community shields.


I pray he comes out next game and finish this campaign well. For his sake he better.

See the bolded. You're spot on. Just that it must not be MLS. What about Calafiori?

Arteta's choice of Hincapie over him was his conservative nature and wanting to defend instead of attack.

Knowing that he doesn't have a creative presence like Eze and Odegaard, what he needed to do was to add more players with the tendency of attacking more. Like MLS or Calafiori.

Fkforyou:
Just thought about yesterday’s game again.

I believe Norgaard coming on for Zubi would have unlocked man city.

He has that ability to give that overhead pass or that forward transition passes unlike Zubi.

I can count how many times Zubi kept giving backwards passes instead of that line breaking passes.

You never fk up before? 😂

Your governor that you trust who has experience with governance is telling you that Tinubu has done great

Tinubu might have set some lofty goals for himself and his admin which he didnt meet but when we see other things he has achieved thats making seasoned and experienced administrators to hail him then its justified to vote him for another term

You're explaining too much

That's because you lack any evidence

Beorn:
In hindsight, you can see he got it spot on.

We showed too much respect and fear. We were not willing to take risk and change format.

Two moments of lapses and it is history

mostob:
Omo.... We need to be at least 80% with our corners. Let's utilize our set piece prowess

This formation by Pep is an insult to Arsenal as it is a show of dominance.

He probably believes he can control the possession like we need it

This is your own state governor hailing Tinubus economic reform

https://www.nairaland.com/8638666/tinubu-courageous-remove-fuel-subsidy

I am asking for myself not my 'governor'

Should I vote for Tinubu against his own advise?

He said I shouldn't vote him if he doesn't provide electricity.

raumdeuter:
This our own steel plan you mentioned, how long as it been in the works, how much has been spent on it and how much steel has it produced

Is the deal a good one to you?

raumdeuter:
I dont have all the details of the deal. Maybe you can explain better

When you do. I will remind you.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/865356-nigeria-reaches-746-million-deal-with-uk-to-upgrade-ports.html

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/record-breaking-order-for-british-steel-as-uk-and-nigeria-sign-landmark-746-million-ports-deal

So Nigeria is taking a 746m pounds loan to hand over to Chagoury to build refurbish Apapa and Tincan ports and breaking the records for British Steel revenue generation

In other words we have abandoned our own steel plan, and was instead tricked by Charles with a longer throat president seeking validation with state visit to revitalise British Steel and worse still, handover all that money to Tinubu's friend with a criminal past. It's a loan that they are calling a deal. Something we will repay with 20% interest.

All these because Tinubu is seeking validation

BlueRayDick:
Following ur logic , So if u call a policeman “useless “ , he’s permitted to have u locked up and tortured right ?

That letter can implicate the school easily

1. They admitted it was an unofficial WhatsApp group involving students from different schools

2. They admitted that the proprietor was not part of the WhatsApp group. So however the information got to him was hearsay

3. They admitted that the then child was punished because of a word he used to describe someone who was not part of his clique. Like one can be punished for what he thinks inside his mind - all assumptions

4. They admitted that a settlement was reached with his parents, that is no compensation noe apology was tendered for the abuse, meaning that the then child is right to still carry a grievance and can claim emotional damage

CrystalTiger:
So all the financial heads in this administration sat down together and agreed on such stupid loan deal with the UK government..

As usual the same Gilbert Chagoury gets another contract from the FG without proper bidding process..Over $11bn now given to the same man without due process..

Raumdeuter care to gaslight explain?

Can Lebanon actually kick out Hezbollah. Lebanon Prime Minister is Angry

He has to otherwise the country will continue to suffer

He should be teaming up with Israel and US to defeat Hezbollah once and for all.

There is no better time than now that Iran is busy saving their lives

iamoyindamola:
All the managers I suggested didn't have same financial strength, lost alot of key players and the clubs they managed are third best not even second

So you feel Arteta should have won three league titles despite the injuries and bad referee decisions?

What other reasons made him not to win?

Make I leave you for now until the season complete. You will hear from my lawyers 😂

germaphobe:
how can I mention managers when I am telling you he's the best
When Leicester won the league they did with 81 points, do you know how many times we have passed that 81 points and didn't win under Arteta. If I talk now you would say I wan use Apari excuse. But who challenged Leicester. I will always celebrate and praise Arteta for his good works, just as you always want to drag and and discredit him.

When Leicester win the league, Arteta wasn't manager. It was Wenger.

Arteta wasn't even a coach then.

Let him go back to 1865 to look for an example

iamoyindamola:
Well slot did it
That's why Arteta is not special, you all defended him and said it wasn't easy defeating Guardiola
Well slot did it by just get Chiesa in his first season he used same squad Klopp left for him.
If he can win a double or treble or quadruple then I can start rating him, he should just win something.
Funny enough I was one of his biggest fans when he won the fa cup I thought he meant serious business

So Slot took Klopp's team, adding just Chiesa and won the league

Slot using the same Klopp's team and the Chiesa, then adds Ekitike, Wirtz, Kerkez, Frimpong and Isak...

What should Slot be winning this season?

BlueRayDick:
I just wasn’t us to have a successful season capped with multiple trophies ,then when we at in off season we will have some really extensive discussions on this thread .

We will touch all of the talking point that has been used to criticize this team and call for Arteta’s despite visible progress in the past 3 to 4 years .

I no wan Dey put the cart before the horse , na why I just Dey avoid all those talks about Arteta being a bottler , Arteta wasting money , Arteta being well paid and not showing workings , etc….

I want make results cancel insults first , then we will have some serious fact based discussion in a relaxed atmosphere where nobody will be vexing and using frustration of bad season ending to make their point .

I surrender to your wisdom

germaphobe:
of all the teams that has spent more money than Arsenal in the last 6 years, who's better than us this season mention 1.
It was obvious that the squad depth cost us the 2022/2023 epl. Injury to jesus, saliba and tomi affected us. Same with last season. Now we decide to spend after all, to strengthen the team and avoid that, you're also complaining.
Let me ask you, since we're talking numbers and money, which Arsenal manager has brought more money for the club like Arteta?? Mention just 1, like 1. So for someone who has been on a progressive run with the kind of money he brings to the club, he shouldn't be allowed to spend it in order to make the team better and bring in more money?.

Ike gwuru

germaphobe:
just this season Liverpool spent more than us but look at where they are.
Chelsea has always been spending every single year, look at where they are.
City spent just 7 million less than us, look at them.
Someone spent money, same money that Liverpool, man city, man utd and Chelsea has also spent in the last 3 seasons but yet we're better than them. Even if Arteta wins the quadruple, he still won't regard him. It is that obvious. But ask him to mention a coach better than Arteta and watch him withdraw.

I don't know why someone will keep hating even in the midst of progress and success.

Even if it means swallowing your words, why should iamoyindamola be so proud not to?

iamoyindamola:
Which of the managers compared with him spent half of what he's spent at arsenal.
Just mention 1

Mention the names let's do the comparison.

So because you feel he spent money then he doesn't deserve praise? Are you that hardened?

Are you aware that Pep bought two marquee players this January?

Pep spent more than Arteta this season o

Germaphobe you see what I am saying? It's not about being heartbroken

germaphobe:
na heartbreak make dem no believe Arteta and you can't truly blame them.
But every manager that has ever been compared to Arteta, he has somehow out performed all of them. No single manager that was compared to him still stands shoulder to shoulder with him currently. Which makes me wonder, what if the management had let him go and choose one of them names, we for dey inside gutter by now.

I understand.

Na tribute I ask for

raumdeuter:
You shouldnt vote Tinubu ONLY IF Donald Trump is contesting for Nigerian presidency

Tinubu himself said we should not vote for him if he fails to provide electricity.

So should I listen to you or Tinubu?
