Mikel Artera owes Andoni Iraola Dinner!!! Congrats Arsenal.... It has finally happened.

The Unforgettables.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes it is my good man.

The opposite of Impressive is what you are witnessing at the Vitality Stadium regarding your Cityzens.

TheSuperNerd:
Oh my goodness... Kompany's Bayern have set a new goal scoring record in a single season in the Big 5 leagues.

TheGoodJoe... You were on to something regarding Kompany.

Openyamind111:
We should also blame Tinubu for what these evil men did.. I hail una oooo..

TheGoodJoe:
Sad loss for Bayern Munich. Amazing tactical display and unbelievable tactical set-up. I am so impressed, despite the loss.

Kudos to PSG. Ousmane Dembele is definitely the best player in the World.

Vincent Kompany should not feel too sad. He gave his best and I see him winning the Champions League soon. You heard it here first.

Mbanda:
What is this beri beri munchoko saying?
You wey dey APC and PDP at same time, what do you call that?

Lekan239:

Infact one was boosting putting the state money needed for development in banks where he has shares while doctors strike for good 13month bcus they where asking for equipment and good welfare. But seriously, Nigerians deserves there leaders

Why don't we have emergency responses to issues like this, Every time counts, The teaching hospital in Question, what are they waiting for? Do they require police report to treat accident victim?

Well there have been some refining licences issued since the subsidy went and BUA is building his own refinery by the way.

Also why shifting the goal post old man?

Finally , CBN gave Dangote loans amounting to about 2billion dollars in eleven years. Dangote got most of the loans from international banks , local banks which amounted to 3 billion and a 3 billion loan from the African development Bank. The CBN loan has since been repaid.

Again Dangote got loans because he had other lucrative businesses which were in essence defacto collateral

nairalanda1:
Also a simple search shows that there are 23 refienries currently in development.

Again, I am not defending anyone. Just staring facts. Had subsidy gone earlier we would have had more refineries.

No one invests in an industry where there is subsidy..Venezuela had subsidy for years . By 2008 refining capacity was down from 900000 to 100000 bpd. And no this was not because sanctions, it was a process that stated when they were not under us sanctions.

Run things at a loss , problems start

nairalanda1:
Dangote was able to build his refineries under subsidy because he had a lot of other lucrative businesses

( Bear with me, I'll soon explain)

A key problem with subsidy is the price controls inherent in subsidy. That means that any bank or financial institution or investor investing in a refinery in a country where subsidy is in place is going to see no return on investment at all.

In 2012 , there were over 20 refinery licences issued. As at December 2011, fuel cost 65 at the pump. Landing cost was 99 naira which meant that production cost was probably above 80 naira per liter. Subsidy payments were already problematic.

So , which bank would lend money to someone wanting to build a refinery under such circumstances?

Dangote was able to find willing lender's not because he is a member of the Illuminati or a free mason but because he had other lucrative businesses. If he finished his refinery and subsidy with its price controls was still in place , meaning losses and inability to pay back the loans, AMCON will just take over his other businesses and pay the creditors back their money.

That's why Dangote was able to build. None of the other licensee had that advantage of owing a whole asse conglomerate.

nairalanda1:
Well if most of you had not supported the Ojota crowd back in 2011 , we could have had more refineries by now.

Subsides essentially made it difficult for anyone else to get into the refining business back then unless you had deep pockets like.dangote

seunmsg:
Excuses, excuses and more excuses. Tinubu chased you from APGA to PDP and then LP before chasing you to ADC. Dude, take responsibility for your political failures and stop looking for who to blame all over the place.

Serious presidential candidate will take the pain to build a political platform for their aspiration. Atiku owns ADC and he will pick the party’s presidential ticket. This has nothing to do with Tinubu. Put in the work and stop crying all over the place. Nobody will gift you their platform. Build your own.

TheSuperNerd:
Congrats to TheGoodJoe and Man City. They beat Arsenal 2-0 in the EFL Carabao Cup Final. PEP has his trophy.

Arsenal can go wrap up the league now.

Both are still in the FA Cup too.

TheSuperNerd:
Hi Great Thread of Nigerian Football, it is indeed a good day to be alive and be excited for what 2026 still promises.

Today is My Birthday and I want to remind everyone out there not to give up on whatever their dreams, aims, aspirations, project pursuits, goals, etc are.
Victor Osimhen did not and look at him today and his story is still not done. John Mikel Obi did not and now he is a bonafide Nigerian legend. Rashidi "Rasheed" Yekini did not and he remains the one of the pinnacles among African Strikers today.


Lastly, on a flip note, Elyte89 is still not giving up on his Super Eagles job dream despite we all knowing how impossible it is and he is also not giving up on Nigeria heading to USCAMEX 2026 World Cup, so honestly what excuse you get?

Cheers to me and Cheers to us all.... God Bless You.

@thegoodjoe,

Seems Arteta might be the next 'Pep' in the context that he's going to change something about football. 🤣🤣

I watched the highlight of the falconet today and I was wowed. Their two goals look like proper Arsenal goals 🤣

Oga Bascovanveli, I lie?

This Oliseh ehn. Anyway as you know, I have always been Pro-Amunike and so is TheGoodJoe but right now, no way am I accepting a change of hands in the coaching reins of the Super Eagles. Absolutely not. Amunike is experienced and all, proven yes but let him keep doing his thing at Heartland in the NNL to bring them back into the NPFL.

I dont wanna have to start from square one especially with us heading in the right direction under Chelle.

Eric Chelle has given this team a bonafide playing identity. An attacking side who uses possession to transit directly, create chances upon chances and choke the opponents into conceeding more than they can try against us.

Eric Chelle has to be left to continue his work abeg while Amunike should continue his work at Heartland for now abeg.

Why change a good thing?

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, I am aware of their use of advanced tech in games and teams analysis but even with all that, they still cant just play fair.... as good as their analytical tech is, as good as their team is, they seem to prefer gaining advantages through imbalanced officiating.

It disgusts me.

Mujtahida:
That guy fit be TheGoodJoe oo. So full of words and theories.

TheSuperNerd:
Morocco close to finalising agreement to recruit Andreas Iniesta into the Moroccan Technical staff ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

TheGoodJoe, what do you make of this? Lol
