He has definitely Conquered Turkey. Now, it’s time to move on and not overstay your welcome.

Osimhen - Italy Conquered
Turkey - Conquered

Now, he needs to Conquer Spain or England

He also conquered France. If not for the disruption of the league caused by COVID, Lille would have won the French league and he was also among the top scorers in the league that season

johnjunior39:
I am not insulting and I don't intend to. Since he is doing well Chief wait your governor will reach your village and provide water.

Oshimen is not your problem, is his life and will live it they way he want it.

Maybe you people should buy chair and keep waiting for when you will remind him

I'm not waiting for him, I don't need him to feed and give myself and my family the basic necessities of life.
I wish you well young boy!

johnjunior39:
You said you voted your present governor because he is rooted then rejected the other that you admited that is more better yet you are waiting for runaway Osihmen whom you don't know if he will even retire in Lagos to come and develop Esanland?

Your problem, before you continue foaming in your mouth, if you can't visit Edo State to witness it with your eyes, kindly go on YouTube and type Okpebholo works. You will be marvelled at the level of development the governor is undertaken already. That same Irrua that the OSU Osimhen hails from, construction is commencing soon for a school of nursing and midwifery.
If he likes, make he remember him village, if he likes, make he nor remember but when the time comes, we will remind him.

It's obvious the comment wasn't made out of love for Osimhen's kinsmen.

This was made by the same person sometime ago.

And for your information, I'm amongst his kinsmen because I'm also Esan just like him and I'm older than him by age. Except you are a kid, that's when you shouldn't worry when those from your place that God seems to have bless doesn't return to develop the place.
Till today, Esan land lacks water and before digging a borehole, you have to use a drilling machine, not manual and Osimhen is from this same Esan land. Will heaven fall or it will affect his finances if he graciously provide few boreholes to Esanland, starting from his community that also lacks water? Abi Na everything be football and jokes to you?

If you aren't stupid, you would have agreed that when I made the post, Osimhen wasn't scoring and I was worried about it. Since he started scoring since you have shown to be jobless by searching the site for a post that was made at the beginning of the season, can you also search and post any further post I made talking down on Osimhen after he started scoring?

Titian22:
Most Esan people are like that even those I have seen in lagos they rather claim to be yoruba than edo.

Same thing happened to Asue Ighodalo that oshomhole and apc used against him. He can speak yoruba fluently but can't speak Esan his language and all this while his impact wasn't felt in esan land. Now in 2024 he came wanting to be governor of edo state.


By large education and achievements wise he is miles ahead of Okpebelo but being that the later is a home boy thoroughly bred Esan man that stood also as an advantage for him.

I think the only edos you'll see despite where they're they also identify with home are the Binis, and some tribes from edo north

Notwithstanding I wish oshimen well in neglecting his state and local government of origin

It's basically not all Esans. Uromi where I come from hardly behaves that way. Most Uromi indigenes always think home first before thinking Benin city or any other places. I have Uromi relatives and friends that stays abroad, they have bought houses in Lagos but before then, then made sure they built houses in Uromi. But you see those other Esans? Ekpoma where Ighalo hails from, Irrua where Osimhen and Ighodalo hails from and Igueben, their heads nor correct. Ubiajians are still trying small small

charlesemeka85:
it’s very common with people from the old bendel state

Many of those kids doesn’t even know where their ancestral homes are. Go places like Aj, Orile, munshin dem full there. Year to year their parents don’t take them home

Sorry to say, I do not know who would be offended here, it's not intentional. I love my Yoruba people wholeheartedly but Yoruba women are always fond of doing such. Most of these Edo men in Lagos or South west whose children doesn't know or visit Edo were married to Yoruba women. These Yoruba women always derive pleasures in turning their children to look towards where they came from instead of where their fathers comes from.
I have a lot of instances. I schooled and stayed in Lagos, there was an Edo Family then that the children had never been to Edo State. It was when the first soon got admission to uniben that he visited Edo State for the first time, during post UTME

charlesemeka85:
this is one of the problems with a lot of kids born and bred in Lagos. They are almost the same with kids groomed overseas who doesn’t care about their ancestral homes but country/city of birth

Osimhen sees himself more like a lagosian than an Esan boy. He will only remember his roots when he is done with his career and harbour the ambition to venture into politics Na then lagosians/yoruba folks go remind am of where he is from 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I say we are waiting for them.
When the time comes we will surely play them their own cassette. With all the stars that has come out of Edo State, none of them could open an ordinary football academy in Edo State...rather they will go and be opening such in Lagos State.
It was this same thing that happened to Asue Ighodalo in the last Edo governorship election. He was a good man with a nice CV but he was never seen or known as an EDO BOY. He didn't had a home in Edo State until prior to the election when he came and bought a 3 bedroom apartment. We told and showed him to his face that we do not know him in Edo State. After election he don still japa comot for the state 🤣🤣. If not for Oshiomhole that helped and was kneeling down during campaign begging everyone on behalf of Obaseki in 2016, it was the same treatment we wanted melting to Obaseki. So make them Osimhen and others continue, we are watching them.
About 4 years ago I was at Pastor Chris Oyakhilomen village in Irrua, even his ancestral home was in tattered

mostob:
Bankygee... You need to extend your ministry. This guy need to be converted.

On serious note, wtf is that last line?

There was a video recently where a journalist went to his hometown in Esanland and noticed not even a single block has been built in his father's village in Esan and all his father's kinsmen were all complaining.
Also, Osimhen despite claiming Edo State has never done anything meaningful to Edo State or her youths. Later in life when maybe he finds himself in politics and wants to contest he will remember that he is from Esan in Edo State. Same thing Ighalo and some others has done. When the time comes in the future, we will play their records for them. Make them continue to the form Omo Lagos

charlesemeka85:
25-26

And that little man feels his career has come to an end and he has nothing to do in a major league.
Maybe he should come and tell us the age Van Dijk was when he joined Liverpool from Southampton

komekn:
After how many years in Europes lesser league are you still waiting for progression.

We should be looking at the next set of potential top players who are teenagers playing in the top clubs in Europe.

How old is Igoh Ogbu?

greatness4life:
don't blame farmers, they are also suffering this harsh economy

People are still buying cars, building and or buying houses on daily basis. People that do legit jobs.
The economy is the same all over the world right now.

fineboynl:
I was just wondering if Nigerians are still eating pounded yam?

The price of yam will just weak you.

Normal size 9k-10k i just weak.

Please which state are you that you are buying yam 9-10k?
Because this same yam was what my wife bought and prepared this morning in Benin city. The yam was bought for 3,500 naira.
It's still very expensive for that amount compared to same yam been sold for 800 naira few years back. But I think why it's expensive it's because Nigeria do not import it. Any Agric products not imported are always cost because Nigeria farmers are wicked and heartless. This same yam, if federal government open border to the importation of it, Nigeria farmers would crash their prices almost immediately. It's the same thing they are doing with garri

Napoleon55:
Which super eagles?
Because they were playing against their fellow junior team?
Wait for them to move to Europe and start playing professional football against senior teams before u can make such claims, unless u can tell me they are exceptional talents?

I like that Harcourt and Bamayi.
Our no. 9 looks like someone that will do well years to come if he doesn't derail along the way

TheSuperNerd:
Away from the usual coaching talks at the top, let me take a step down to Mid table Italy and mention how good of a job Cesc Fabregas is doing so far at Como in his first full season as a manager in a top league.

He's been remarkable. TheGoodJoe, kindly keep eyes on his managerial rise.

It's not even about the result he is getting with comot. His Como team is fearless and plays like an elite club with N. Paz pulling the strings. Beating Fabregas Como team is like beating fellow big teams. That guy will do wonders coaching an elite team

ChrisKels:
How is it done?

Click on the person's profile, scroll down and you will see "Block this User". Tick the box and block the user. But for now according to Seun, the blocking will only last for 7 days or so and whenever you block someone, the person automatically blocks you also

bluefilm:
Inter get champions League match to think about

And Roma is in form at the moment

What are you talking about? It will be easier for them to win the league than to win the champions league. They are on the same point with Napoli and dropping any point today and Napoli wins at home, Napoli will become 2 points ahead of them. They might end up losing both the league and the UCL if they don't win today.
Trust me, all through this season, Barcelona has never been easy for any big team to win. They can't eliminate Barcelona

TheGoodJoe:
You just fell your hand by mentioning Akpabio. Building just flyover and roads is not development. I am from Akwa Ibom State. What did Akpabio do in the health sector? What did he do in the education sector?

Amaechi built high standard schools, and hospitals, offering free healthcare and education. Also offering massive employment. Development is not about building roads and flyovers, but directly improving the lives of people.

Peter Obi was awarded as the best governor when it comes to implementation of the Millenium development goals. That is due to his understanding and application of the international standard framework for critical development indices.

We are talking of long term developmental framework. You are talking Akpabio and Soludo.

How you see and define governance doesn't means it's the best definition.
Today, when you talk of western world, the first things that draws people to those countries are the infrastructures which drives tourism...e.g Dubai and Singapore.
All those infrastructures that Akpabio provided as governor in Akwa Ibom State was what brought the limelight that Akwa Ibom is still enjoying till today, including the Ibom Tropicana.
Last year, few of my friends traveled to Akwa Ibom on vacation because of these same infrastructures that Akpabio provided and that's how it's nowadays all over Nigeria, people are trooping into the state on vacations. Hopefully I, my wife and some of my friends and their wives will be doing same this year all because of the infrastructures that Akpabio brought to Akwa Ibom. People don't even talk much about Calabar again when thinking of vacation destination in Nigeria, Akwa Ibom has taken over.
Akwa Ibom was only known for house helps, eaten dog meat and killing children over witchcraft, including when Obong Victor Attah was governor but it was Akpabio uncommon transformation in Akwa Ibom that changed the narratives.
Every governor has won governor of the year as far Nigeria is concerned, just pay the organisers mostly when your election is drawing closer and you will be awarded. Oshiomhole as Governor of Edo State won countless governor of the year and also Sun man of the year award, Mimiko as Governor of Ondo State won also in health and maternal death reduction, etc. so PO wining governor of the year wasn't a yardstick, the award could easily have been bought.
Prior to 2023 general elections, not even Anambra citizens saw Obi as a Messiah, that's why there is no candidates he has supported in any election in Anambra State that ended up winning after he was done as governor. He supported Obaze and the man was roundly beating and came a distance 3rd if I'm not mistaken.

TheGoodJoe:
I only rate Peter Obi ahead of Amaechi in Nigeria. Amaechi was an amazing Governor.

Oga carry your football mentality and go to Nigeria Super Eagles thread.
I have no problem with everything you said about Amaechi but mentioning PO was irresponsible of you.
In the history of Governors in Nigeria and their performances, PO can't be mentioned amongst the top 20.
Where were you when Akpabio was the governor of Akwa Ibom State? Where were you when Ohakim was the governor of Imo state? Where were you when Fashola, Ambode and now Sanwo Olu were and now the Governors of Lagos State? Where were you when Donald Duke was governor of Cross River State? Where were you when Oshiomhole was governor of Edo State? Where were you when Lamido was governor of Jigawa state? And so many others?
Even Soludo 4years has surpassed PO 8 years as governor.

Acekidc4:
Ok but Shettima will replace Tinubu 2031💯

I have a feeling that Tinubu prefers Ribadu instead.
Though Shettima might still be Tinubu deputy in 2027

Love800:
Thanks so much.

My last question. Why did you leave Ghana and came back home?

Lol, I went there for a purpose and I was done with what took me there, I had to return.
Also, either you are doing legitimate business or not in Ghana, as a Nigerian you won't have the same freedom you would naturally have staying in Nigeria.
Lastly, Ghanaians are very jealous and envious of Nigerians there and if they see what will kill you, that won't mind seeing you dead.
Averagely they are poor and don't have the strength to hustle like Nigerians and they become angry with you seeing your hustling pays while theirs doesn't.
They are very bad in business too... A Ghanaian shop owner, as far he is already locking his shop, even if you want to buy goods worth millions from him, he won't sell for you anymore.
I don try for the advice 😂😂

Lastly, the narration that they have 24hrs uninterrupted power isn't the same anymore. They had in 2019 when I first went there but after returning to Ghana in 2022, their power wasn't constant anymore but still far better than Nigeria power situation.

They hardly use banks, you can count the number of their bank branches, they use what they call money agents (like pos) and another called MTN MOMO

Love800:
Can one go there and sell cooked nigerian meals, like mama-put style?

Yeah, there are a lot of Nigerian mama put meal. Mostly areas like Circle and it's environs

phr0nesis:
Oga did I argue that zeros weren't taken from Ghana's currency?
All I pointed out was your terrible explanation, and boom your nerves got hurt. Learn to explain properly next time.

Oga nor vex, I they drink ogogoro 🍻 that time. My eyes don clear now.
Shey you fit smile now? 😂

Love800:
How does Ghana look like?

If one relocate, what business can he/she do there?

There are lots of Nigerians there that does good buying and selling businesses, e.g selling of phones, phone parts, etc and they are doing well for themselves. Majority of Nigerian women going to Ghana goes into prostitution when they gets there.

phr0nesis:
You haven't explained anything. Do you even understand what you wrote up there?
If ₦1,000 gets you 1L of fuel, and 1,000 Cedis get 80L, then it means the Cedis is 80 times better than the Naira. Their minimum wage is 300-500 Cedis, and yours is ₦70,000, and yet you claim our purchasing power is higher. How?

Learn to use the internet more and not solely to chat girls on WhatsApp or watch them twerk on tiktok.
Ghana Government removed 00 from their currency and that's why the cedis that was supposed to be 100 became 1. So what 100 cedis would buy is what they are using 1 cedi to buy now. The 1k naira that even a mad man in Nigeria do have, do you know what it takes to make that same 1k cedis in Ghana?
You guys will just sit in your 1 rooms and be talking trash online. I stayed in Ghana for years and in all ramifications, including currency wise, the naira is more valuable

andrewbaba44:
Na premier league legacy I carry come here

Why you Dey carry me go national team ?

Okocha legacy in football doesn’t even outweigh kanu ,please stop the cap abeg ,I won’t even talk abeg mikel Obi

We Dey talk premier league legacy you Dey carry me go Atlanta 96 ,Lmao

Seems you don't know the definition of the word Legacy.
There was never a time when Kanu or Mikel were the hearts and main men of their respective clubs in the EPL but Okocha was and till today he is still mentioned and regarded as the best African ever to play in the EPL. Winning tittles as part of a team is different from having a legacy. Mikel all through his years at Chelsea was a fringe player who won tittles using players like Drogba, Lampard and Terry. Same with Kanu for Arsenal who was rated at Arsenal below players like Henry, benkamp, Lurgberg, Pires, Viera, Campbell, A. Cole, etc. Kanu was not even the best in his position when he was at Arsenal, same with Mikel at Chelsea

jeff1607:
The purchasing power, I remember Ghana did theirs

They removed 00 or 000 if I could remember.
If the FG decides to remove 00 from the naira, today's 100 naira will become 1 naira. In the surface the naira will automatically becomes bigger than most currencies all over the world. I really don't know why the FG hasn't thought of doing such since 1999

jeff1607:
It won’t hurt if you explained to others rather than complain

The explanation is simple. Most of these countries either removed 00 or 000 that's why in the surface it will look like the naira is a gab but in reality the naira has a better purchasing power.
Let me give you an example, to the ignorants, the Ghana cedi is better than the Naira but in reality 1k naira will get you a liter of fuel in Nigeria but 1k cedi will get you about 80 litres of same fuel in Ghana. Ghana minimum wage I think was 300-500 cedis.

Goke7:
Are you aware Okocha is our second highest Afcon scorer with 7 goals after Yekini? For a Nigerian midfielder that’s massive.

Am not a big fan of Jayjay but that’s how influential he is in our football.

Maybe he stated watching Okocha play in 2005-2006 when he was already hanging his boots.
Recently Okocha was amongst the African Legends that were called upon for a charity match with the military president of Burkina Faso and these has always been happening all over the world.
How many them don called Kanu and others to come play if they had bigger football impacts than Okocha?

andrewbaba44:
You are right

Reason I might be right with that conversation ,so I don’t get why some of them don’t wanna agree with me

During Okocha and all the other names playing days, whenever they were playing for the SE, Okocha was always the main man and the heart of the team, not Kanu. Infact there was never a time when Kanu was rated ahead of Okocha in the SE.
Let's take our mind back to Atlanta 96, players like Okocha, Omokachi, Oliseh were rated ahead of Kanu in the team and it was those 2 goals that Kanu scored that brought him to limelight in the SE, not that he was the best.
Okocha legacy in football far outweigh other Nigerian players that have played in the EPL till date
