Yes
8 points difference with 7 games to go
Just like the guys our fate is stealed

The manager has done well. I pray they steal this title.

Roland17:
That was all you saw from the kid? That instance is the summary of all you watched from Obi today?

Man just stop it already. Kid is better than anything United has upfront. He needs minutes but he showed today he is a part. The same Bruno that has stunk up the joint this season?

Chido has the talent. The question is if he is ready. Sometimes not being ready emotionally and psychologically can have tremendous effect on a player. Even physical readiness is important to avoid career threatening injuries.

All these factors must be put into consideration when giving youths opportunities to play in the main game.

You may see this as an excuse but it's what we must consider whether we accept it or not.

We know those who are cowards and those who are not.

Someone like Emmanuel Ifeajuna, is just a blood thirsty nationalist that has no human side.

He is the reason the coup took a deadly turn.

iamoyindamola:
You just defined ojukwu, he fled after losing foreign mercenaries, support from France and Portugal

Someone that fought a war for three years is no coward. Don't be silly.

BlueRayDick:
This was because he was granted pardon by Shehu Shagari in 1982.

What you call state burial is actually a military burial because he was a Lietenant Colonel in the Nigerian army. If he hadn't gotten presidential pardon for treason from Shagari's government he would not have been able to return home, contest an election nor get a full military burial.

Nothing to see here bro.

Why was he given a pardon? 😂

BlueRayDick:
No, he wasn't suicidal.

In the article u refused to read it was stated that After Murtala was taken out, Obasanjo had to go into hiding simply because he was marked for death as a senior officer by the coupists. It was only after Gen. Alani Akinrinade and Brig. Godwin Alabi-Isama had told off the coupists before Obasanjo came out of hiding to be appointed as the head of state by the supreme military council.

If we are following ur logic, Obsanjo was a coward but then he lived long enough to be celebrated as one of the best leaders Nigeria ever had. He still lives today because of an act u wish to label as "cowardice". That was what Chinua Achebe meant in that proverb.

Ironsi that didn't run away, we all knew how things ended for him.

Obasanjo's case is not cowardice. It looks tactical. Stoop and conquer. He has a high IQ.

Ogundipe's case is pure cowardice let's be honest.

Ironsi has always been known for his courage but low IQ. He single handledly took over a radio station from the coupist and announced that the coup has failed. The rebel soldiers were afraid to confront him. He had his way with just his pistol. That's courage. His problem is he isn't very smart.

iamoyindamola:
Calm down he returned home abi he got a pardon
Person that suppose to be hang for treason

Go hang am now. 😂

akwesenana:
Comparing apples to dildos. 👍
A general with no troops is as relevant as me and you.

The bolded clearly describes a coward soldier

iamoyindamola:
Did he surrender or run step aside to ivory coast for political asylum

That's the point you should get.

When he returned home. He formed a political party. Contested for president. Received a state burial.

BlueRayDick:
At this point, I'm sure Sanwoolu just wants to complete his second term in peace and retire to private life. I mean look at how his principal just downgrade him by siding with Obasa and having police and other security agents doing Obasa's bidding. It's a show of shame.

It is just appalling that individuals can do as they like once they have the backing of the Tinubu-led FG

Rule of power

Divide and control

iamoyindamola:
Didn't ojukwu run away in the end leaving thousands dead from war, hunger, sickness etc

Ojukwu didn't run na. Stop distorting history.

He fought a war against sovereign nations with practically nothing for three years. He lost the war. Then he stepped aside.

How is that run away?

To run away is to japa without a fight.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It is even how everyone has refused to seen the context of what he said.

He was talking about Balloon D'or and he said AFCON is not a major tournament to give Salah an edge, which is the truth.

If you like win all the awards and AFCON, if you are not outstanding in Europe, nothing for you!

His context was that to be considered for Balloon D'or, AFCON isn't a deciding factor [/color]

George Weah didn't even play AFCON

raumdeuter:
Dem do coup to install Awolowo, yet no one went to Calabar prison to try to free the man they intended to free

The people who locked up Awolowo should explain better. At least it wasn't the Igbos.

It's cowardice to start hiding from the facts because you're avoiding confronting your true oppressor.

Whatever you think is irrelevant to what those who actually participated think. The likes of Maj Ademoyega.

And eventually Awolowo was released by Ojukwu.

It's sad he still died under the hands of the same people he ran to- those who oppressed him.

Rule 1: Know your enemy.

What's 100% sure is that Awolowo's enemies are not the Igbos. But he made himself an enemy to the Igbos just to satisfy his oppressors.

What's worse is that, the spirit of Awolowo is still active till today.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So to you, every other tribe is fit to bribe the system, except the Igbo man?..

I think, for our own safety, we should just call what is bad, "bad"

I have no horse in this race. None of my family members are drug merchants, neither have I or am I benefitting from whatever these guys make.

Make dem prosecute whoever they sell am.

Na my own be that[/color]

So when you hear marginalisation you don't get it?

NAFDAC went to a market and caught criminals and everyone thinks it's an Igbo thing.

Ok. Why can't they name the culprits? Or don't we want them to name the criminals?

That's why I said, they are comfortable tagging it an Igbo thing. That's why I said I am sure they are afraid of doing an open investigation because if they do, it will no longer be an Igbo thing.

It's the ethnic profiling that I am against.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Maybe I am wrong about putting it solely on the Igbos, but let us not act like it's a new story.

The Igbos dominate the drug business in Nigeria. Na our pride. Most of the local drug manufacturers are Igbos. Greenlife, Emzor, Orange....All Igbos.

And the same way we have lawful and legal drug businesses, is the same way we dominate the illegal trade.

You have been following the story. Over a Trillion naira worth of drugs labelled as fake found in the SE alone. How many outsiders are you expecting to be on that list?

I saw a warehouse in a hidden village in Abia where they were repackaging and changing the dates of expired drugs. The building even has tenants living in it. Which outsider go get mind do that kind thing for another man land?

My point wasn't even about the ethnicity of those behind it. It's the fact that whether they are Yoruba or French or Igbo, nobody is being prosecuted [/color]

The bolded is what I am challenging. That a typical Nigerian judicial system that is selective and profiling, there's no way they won't expose someone if it's only Igbos involved. This is what is killing our country.

BlueRayDick:
I think one major problem we have in this country is caring too much about the tribe/ethnic group of a criminal/suspected criminal than the actual crime the person committed.

If Nigeria were to be a working country, criminals are to be apprehended and tried solely based on the crime they committed without anyone caring to know what ethnic group the criminal "represents".

For example, if an individual makes a statement that can be classified as being inciting/promoting hate, such individual should be dealt with by law officers irrespective of what part of the country he's from, but sadly that's not the case in Nigeria.

That is why it appears as if some people will defend a criminal who happens to come from their region and further proceed to challenge the government to first prosecute suspected criminals from other region before coming for their own region's criminal.

No country will grow when there is no equity and fairness in the justice system.

Truth.

Selective justice is injustice. Tribal profiling is also injustice.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am not even interested if 99.999% are Igbos. They should begin the prosecution of whoever is involved.

But if we are being fair to ourselves, they are all Igbos. No be today Igbos dey dominate the drug market; Whether Legal or hard drugs

Like...How can we be living like this?

A drug that's fake has the capability to destroy you, and leave you worse than you bought it.

Everyday, people are patronizing these killers and using these drugs, even for babies. Person no know whether na sickness abi na the drug be the problem.

I'm seriously disappointed with how they are pampering this issue.[/color]

My friend if they are all Igbos or even 70% an investigation would have been done and the culprits exposed.

What you don't know is that this fake drugs business is a syndicate whose tentacles cuts across the country. Onitsha only happens to be a major centre. I bet anyone to swear with the lives of their children that fake drugs produced in India does not cross Lagos border or that it's only Igbos that are involved.

I have to say this because it's becoming a tag on the Igbos and we must resist it.

That's how they tagged kidnapping, organ harvesting, yahoo, ritual killings etc on Igbos until they discovered Hushpuppy and Tinubu like crude oil.

That's how they tagged the 1966 coup on Igbos until they discovered it was Awolowo who was going to be the beneficiary and when Major Ademoyega and IBB confessed that it wasn't Igbos afterall.

GloriousGbola:
In 2018, there was a codeine pandemic . several pharmaceuticals were fingers. the biggest beneficiary was emzor. imho, all the ceos involved should have been arrested - but of course nigerians started shouting tribalism. an open and shut case and it went nowhere

now we have a case with actual hardened criminals with no compunction about murder

they tried to assassinate dora akunyuli. n her interview she showed her headgear. the bullet basically missed her skull. no one was ever arrested

the only reason why nafdac has been able to go this far is because the NSA provided support. the previous NSA did not. no guarantee the next NSA will

you have said it - there are billions involved. that means different people have already been compromised. soldiers, police, nafdac officials.

a colleague used to work in Guinness and he said they went to meet dora to ask how they could combat adulterated guiness. and she told them flatly, there is nothing you can do. these people tried to kill me and nothing happened. if you go after them you will end up getting killed and life will go on. the best you can do is change your branding periodically.



i cant say why they havent - but we all saw how the FIJ customs saga went. naija where politicians are in bed with criminals - you have to tread carefully



the partial saving grace is that the woman is not from the east. otherwise by now members of her family would likely have been kidnapped. nothing to say it cannot still happen in lagos. or wherever she is based

This tribal bigot thinks that the fake drugs crisis is a South East thing. Whereas the best president he believes that Nigeria deserves is a drug lord.

Let them publish the names of the criminals and carry out a thorough investigation. So that the 'Igbo' sellers will be exposed.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The way NAFDAC is handling this fake drug pandemic is vexing me by the second.

1 trillion naira worth of drugs, is 999 billion + 1 billion worth of drugs

Anybody that has 1 billion naira worth of drugs is a big fish. That person no be small person.

Why can't they list these people?
List their businesses, and the drugs they have or are adulterating?

Why can't they start a trial sharp sharp?

We cannot be living like this. [/color]

They just want to tag it Igbo.

If they begin any trial, it may not longer be an Igbo thing again

BlueRayDick:
Wow !

The bold is news to me . 👀

Na so e Dey be ?

It's logical.

Why swear on us an oath of celibacy when Johnbull is already dead?

Urgent1Million:
For how long will they defend the naira?
I thought they floated the naira to allow demand and supply to determine the exchange rate.
Are they telling us now that the floating of the naira was a bad decision?

Lie lie government 😂

All Propaganda Congress 😂

Roland17:
REALITY may have finally dawned on some.

At a point common sense will ask you certain questions on reality.

And the reality is that this season is becoming over very fast.

It will take a miracle as it is.

I'll like Arteta to work on either Merino or Calafiori as a possible no 9 during the PL matches in preparation for the CL games where our hope now lies. Let's hope it will work.

The number of goals that Ramsdale will concede this seaywill do damage to his statistical records d it would be unfair to him.

It's to complete a dwarf wall. The dimensions are 3x3 feet on one side and 3x7 feet on another side. (L shaped ). With a door.

Thanks

Greetings to everyone

Please I intend to put a glass wall partition in my office. How much will it cost. I need an idea. Thanks

Roland17:
Isn’t this what I have been wailing about for nearly 4 years now? The season he choked qualification for the UCL, we had two opportunities to make top 4 but he chocked it. Under this guy we never raise our game when it matters most.

Forget all the aura and vibes nonsense, this team is mentally weaker than cotton wool. We also don’t have a strong voice amongst the players on the field or inside the locker room. There is absolutely no character. I questioned making Odegaard a captain, he don’t think he has the capacity to push this team on or off the field, it doesn’t question his talent in any way.

This has always been how we start and end the season, nothing different.

Odegaard's decision making has been poor recently. Dude misses Saka for sure. It seems Saka is the true leader in the team.

I still appreciate his pressing and willingness to work hard. But his delays his actions which affects his overall output

Arteta in game thinking should really improve.

When facing a low block after a certain period, you should send in your CBs as CFs for cross and nod.

That's thinking out of the box
