aribisala0: Boxing is not matthematics and age is overrated. People said Ali was too old at 32 when he fought Foreman who was even more fearsome than Tyson at 25 years in 1974. At 25 Foreman had fought 40 professional fights only 3 of which went the distance. Geore foreman came back at over 45 to knock out Michael Moorer. He fought Holyfield at 42 and even though he lost on points he gave a good account of himself. Certainly one of the hardest heavyweights ever
Baba i dey watch dat match now and you have to give foreman credit at 42 mhen! The guy's defence was bam, and he did it without dancing. And holyfield's leg work was damn! See correct punches! Omo, am tripping for foreman's defence system oo
Bros, if u no sabi use leg switch to evade a punch or fake an attack or launch an attack, u wont last one round in the ring. The leg work launches d body n hands
azimibraun: W Klitchko took a dive to introduce the new face of the heavyweight division. Now the division has the world' attention again. Mayweather and Paquio of a lower weight division, Kept boxing going for a while now they are old and gone. The heavy weight division in particular and boxing in general must use Joshua to regain prominence. All hail kitchko the saviour of the sport. From now on AJ will attract so much attention and have sold out arenas and the culture of heavy weight boxing wil sure be at the top burner for the next 10yrs. This whole thing started from Tyson fury who the Cabal staged as having taking banned substance to prevent two British Joshua and Fury fighting which wiil attract less attention to giving the last of the old guard Klitchko the opportunity to launch AJ properly and more realistically with this huge global attention it got in Joshua's home country and fans and not Las Vegas. I am happy for AJ and am happy for kltchko for being part of this history.
ednut1: Abeg. He has no skill or leg movement. Lame comparison. Showed grit tho. Abeg make una no use mention kill me . D guy is d best presently. D comparison be lik d usual messi/ronaldo vs pele argument
Yep. No leg movement, klitschko killed him with d legs, used it to pin him to a corner almost always. His defence is also poor, he allows too much jab and klitschko used dat to earn most of his points. He's got raw skills tho, he needs to fine-tune it. Plus, heavyweight is mainly about d punch and he's got one hell of a right hand punch! U knw you have to go for the knockout in heavyweight and if its not heavy you cant survive the division. Bigups to the guy, he became a man in one night, klitschko taught him the real lesson from 6-9th round. Got the message, studied it, understood it and used it all in 10 n 11th round, that's the sign of a legend in d making.

Thats how almost everyone is thought in naija, especially we d phychembio pple. Imagination was the key back den. But now there's internet, practical materials full youtube to enhance understanding.
I dont think a course is hard, i can only find it irritating and non-enjoyable... and it always starts with d name. So, i just hope i dont carry it because Lord knows, i wont even put in 50% effort in reading it. Jus like in sec school, 1st time i heard geography back den in ss1 it sounded so wrong i stopped doin it afta d 1st class . All d Gen. Studies (english) in univ. felt so stupid i spent d money meant for manuals, carried one of it over without stress Statistics was sooooooooooo irritating, i jus prayed to God for amiracle... i got a D! D list o por gan o
firebaby: Omo men stop judging on pictures o.....people can pretend on social medias like anything....especially if you see people in diaspora on IG etc don't think they are living better life...PACKAGING NI O
I just read on IG hw she's failed to return a gown she got for promo oo, dat she's even bragging about it dat nothing d poor lady dat sew d cloth with her own money can do she wont return d dress, another person's sweat. Well, i guess karma aint a bitsch afterall, its wat is deserved, karma. I feel sorry for her o but our actions come back to haunt us. Eyan o le je oogun oloogun mor ishe tieh ki o ma leyin.
Syogbe: This is not the avenue to insult an Oba from people who are congenially disrespectful, iconoclastic and acephalous. Traditionally, a king should not hug or shake hands. Ooni should have sat down gently.
There are secret ways real obas greet themselves, not mere handshakes like gentlemen, real hand grabbings like d ogboni style. It still goes to show dat there's nothing traditional abt dis yahooyahoo king.
Plus, pple r tryn to make a mole out of an anthill here. What will they now say about the olubadan and alaafin's never-ending squabbles? Or d alake and awujale supremacy battles? These are example of kings that dont see eye-to-eye!
Olu317: Trade caution my dear, because, no one know the reason OBA OF LAGOS did such although there is no smoke without fire. It can't be ordinary for the OBA OF LAGOS to have been bittered in his HEART. I am tempted to believe, ILE IFE CRISIS could be one of the reason, if a Yoruba king was arrested at ILE IFE by DSS for not directly involved in a fight between YORUBAS and HAUSAS . Ooni's voice is too diplomatic over this issue. OONI isn't outspoken as he ought to be. No Emir or any Islamic leader as such can be arrested for crime committed in his jurisdiction without him being participant. It is totally despicable that it is happening in a era of a man, Yoruba massively voted in as President. And up till now, no known Fulani herdsmen marceneries have been arrested or jailed as need be. It seem OONI OGUNWUSI doesn't know his role as SUPREME KING OF YORUBA. Perhaps, OBA of LAGOS isn't happy about his role in the issue at ILE IFE. It baffles me to see or bring out any sane reason, OBA OF LAGOS, will do such a thing without any concrete reason. OOni need set up and be more proactive to his calling. So, was the other time, OONI went to LONDON to collect tithe or offering in a church. This is totally out of BOUND for him. OONI can bow to GOD but collection of offering or tithe doesn't MEAN OONI IS HUMBLE. Infact ,money is the root of all Evil. However, it may be another issue but I truly don't expect such attitude from OBA OF LAGOS is outrightly unacceptable in YORUBA LAND irrespective of OONI's action in recent times.
I like d ile ife crisis angle u put to it, dint think dat sef. Ultimately, me think oba akiolu is jus saying d mind of other obas. Oba ogunwusi is not acting like an ooni, rather like a spoilt bratho got an official excuse to do as he pleases, belittling the obaship in d process. And yorubas say "oun to de ba ara ile, on bor wa ta ba ara oko" meaning his actions would make obaship become more meaningless sooner than they imagine.
bakynes: You guys know nothing but just type rubbish, no Oba in Yoruba Land is answerable to any Oba,its just out of respect for the first spiritual leader of the cradle of Yoruba Land.
The seat of throne in Lagos is a Yoruba Kingship and not Benin. The seat existed long before Oba of Benin conquered Lagos and named it Eko. It was restored to the Yoruba king when the British came there.
There was no central kingship in lagos before oba orhogbua conquered the lands and named it eko. Na only baales dey before the kingship, and it wasnt central. All houses in the awori kingdom had to pledge their allegiance to benin in fear of retribution for killing of some of benin's emissaries sent earlier.
sheedy407: And this Oba of Lagos doesn't even know that he is suppose to stand up before Oni Of Ife because in respect,Oni Of Ife beats his hands down.
He cant try that to Oba Of Benin else,he go banish am from Lagos and Nigeria
Looool. But really, those tryin to side with the ooni shld knw dat oba eko has no allegiance with ife kingdom, eko recognises more with benin and more often dan not, dey try to sound like a sovereign kingdom. So oba eko can behave anyhow.
bakynes: Oba Ado was in fact the first Oba of Lagos placed there by the Oba of Benin and he paid tribute and taxes to the Benin Empire. What I am just trying to say is that the Oba of Lagos is occupied by an Awori King and not by a Benin person. Aworis migrated from Ife to that farm settlement named Eko by the Oba of Benin.
Yes na, d aworis own d seat. Before oba ado there was regency by benin warriors too. Itwas until after d war campaign they put an awori oba, stillrecognised as eleko before the aworischose to go with their language and called it oba.
