Lampard is coaching Derby, who are in the Championship. Not exactly top division football.

Gerrard is coaching Rangers...in the Scottish Premiership(which, sorry to say, is not at the level of English Premiership. All the clubs there, apart from Rangers and Celtic are useless so to speak.).

Celebrity coach. He has no coaching clue.

He would be better off as a sport analyst for Supersport or ESPN.
Henry was a valued coach with the Belgium setup...he worked with their strikers directly.

I feel pity for the arsenal legend... His contemporaries like Gerard and Lampard are doing well as managers in their respective clubs.

Maybe he chose to wrong club to begin his managerial career.
His problems too were complicated by injuries to key players...PLUS..Monaco sold off one of their star players just as he was arriving.

Gerrard is doing well...though with Rangers...a big club in a small league.The Scottish league is like the English league 1, with two Premiership clubs (Rangers and Celtic)...and two Championship clubs (Hearts, Aberdeen).

Lampard is coaching Derby...championship club. Not premier league level yet.

Brothers, help me ooo.
I need your ideas and opinions about this issue.
I registered on 1XBET.
After few weeks, I tried to withdraw my money.
I got an error message asking me to go complete my profile details.
During this process, I input a random number as my ID NUMBER (EITHER NATIONAL ID, DRV LICENSE or INTL ID) since I had none as at then.
Then they started asking me to send documents for verification.
Then I went to do National ID card...
The problem is this; after sending the national ID card to them, they are now asking me to send a document which contains the RANDOM NUMBER I inputted earlier on.
Please what do I do?
What do you suggest please.
Stop wasting your time and money on betting sites.

All of them na SCAM, even the legit sites

PoliticsRe: APC Reversed GDP Growth From 6 To 2% – Atiku by theoldpretender(m): 5:54pm On Jan 23, 2019
kernel001:
Sometimes, little education helps.
Obasanjo started running government when crude oil was selling $17 per barrel with high debt profile, how come he didn't complain about Buhari helping Abacha to loot, but instead brought in economic stability.
Our forex needs in 1999 were less than in 2019. Add the fact that our population was also much less...

Also,I should stress times were hard back then, before 2003...when oil started going up again, and when things got stable enough. Plus, OBJ was a saver.

Do I need to remind you that Buhari, hiked fuel price in excess of N58, since Nigerians consumes 40 million liters per day, it means he was making extra 3 billion Naira. What has he done with all that?
1.Fuel prices were hiked in 2016 because the landing cost of fuel was N132, while we were selling it at N87. Buhari raised prices to N145, ending subsidy and that was how things were until landing costs passed N145 ,meaning subsidy was reinstated...and NNPC was paid the difference between N145 and the landing cost (N190 now).

2.Also,government does not earn money from fuel sales. NNPC and the marketers do...government pays subsidy to NNPC, nowadays the sole importer of fuel to keepprices at N145(SEE no 1). But the money only makes up for the difference between N145 and the landing cost of N190...meaning NNPC is essentially selling fuel to marketers as a loss.

3.If Bubu had not raised prices....government would have been paying far more in subsidy claims...to the point that we would have become broke. See Venezuela.


Secondly, if PDP was responsible for recession during Buhari’s administration, who caused the first as head of state?

Bear this in mind, Buhari is the only Nigerian president with record of recession, more also twice.
In 1982, when the late Shagari was in charge, oil prices crashed from $32 TO $9..ending 9 years of high oil prices since the OPEC hikeof 1973 in response to the Yom Kippur War.. That plus a host of other bad economic practices under Shagari and the final chapter of the collapse of our agric sector (began in the 1970...complete by 1982...when the last groundnut pyramid fell)..led to a recession, and a 'failed' attempt at austerity polices instituted in 1983 by Shagari. By the time Bubu took over in December 1983...the recession was underway. Oil prices did not go up until 1991...the Gulf oil windfall (by then Bubu was out of power).

So, the polices of the Shagari government caused the recession Bubu inherited.

Buhari, Mr Integrithief

A professor is required to retire at 70
A military officer is required to retire at 60
Civil servant is required to retire at 60/65

But the President of Nigeria can be older than 70....
Does that make sense?

A graduate trainee is required to have a minimum of a degree certificate with 2/1
To get a good job you are required to have NYSC certificate

But to be a President, all you need is a WASC Certificate..

Is this country normal at all.

Until there is an overhaul of the laws....no significant progress can be achieved.
Meanwhile, your lord and saviour Atiku is over 70 years of age. And has an OND, and is not a professor.

People like Moghalu and Ezekwesili that have degrees galore, when we bring them, you people will tell us to go away.
PoliticsRe: Our Economy Failing Because Investors Know Buhari Not In Charge-bukola Saraki by theoldpretender(m): 3:06pm On Jan 23, 2019
Investment is failing because

1.Oil prices have fallen, thus no flowing of cash, especially as we are dependent on oil, no investor wants to come

2.Corruption, which is made worse by Nigerians refusing to chase out the corrupt. See Gandollars and his defenders, among many others.

3.Subsidies. Govt subsidizing certain sectors like fuel means no one wants to invest in Nigerian petroleum sector because subsidies means you don't earn profits.

4.Poor forex policy. In my opinion, there should be favored forex status for manufacturers. Give manufacturing 200 naira to one dollar

5.Security. Boko has been chased back, but still a threat. Then there is the Fulani herdsmen crisis

6. Poor transportation sector

7.Poor power sector made worse by low bills, Nigerians not paying their bills for power, government agencies too not paying bills.

8. Greedy Nigerians who demand to be compensated for anything like building roads through their villages
.
9.Poorly funded technical education sector. It is the technical people who builds up any economy. Not office workers

obailala:
But in reality, what Atiku said is actually not true; it's actually just political talk to deceive the multitude of gullibles. Nigeria's economic lifeblood is dependent on oil. The moment oil price started dropping from mid-2014, so did our GDP growth rate. The rate had already fallen from 6% down to 2% before pdp handed over and bailed out of the sinking ship. Oh yes, it is a fact that pdp handed over a sinking economy to apc before it left, and amusingly now blaming the apc guys for all the mess. Afterall, 99.9% of Nigerians only noticed there was a problem after apc took leadership... PDp (and politicians in general) know Nigerians dont bother to verify info, that's the only reason pdp can be saying this now.
That's the truth.

Unfortunately, Nigerians do not judge economic progress by 'facts and figures'...instead it is by 'how much money they have in their pocket'.

The fact is, our economy has been badly managed for years. We are hooked up to oil. And when oil goes up, our economy goes up...when it goes down, down goes our economy.

If the oil price was high from the day Buhari took over...like $100 perbarrel...many people would think that the economy was working.Yes it is...with a big vulnerability.

Obasanjo simply wants NNPC. Confirmed news have it that Obasanjo and Jonathan will be acquiring NNPC if Atiku happens to get to power


That's what all this sudden craze is all about and that's why Atiku keeps empasizing about NNPC sale to buttress to PDP quarters that matters.

They are coming back to take away all that belongs to Nigeria


They did it before and are planning to do again.

Stupid thing to say. Atiku is obviously a simpleton. How can you talk about GDP in Nigeria without taking into consideration the amount of looting during the PDP administrations and the sharp drop in price of oil. This man can not lead a village let alone a country.

As patriotic citizens we owe it to ourselves to keep people like Atiku far away from power. People like him will only take us back to the dark ages. Buhari holds the key to a great and prosperous Nigeria. Don’t fall for Atiku’s gamesmanship. He’s an expert at cunning people. God bless Nigeria.
I agree with you except for the bit that Buhari holds the answers.

Thing is, APC did do some bad things like keeping the fuel subsidy.
