[quote author=chidiokay post=140135198][/quote]And this is why I say every generalisation is false.

Women are smarter than you guys think

Yes, there are women who lose focus at home once they start cheating but there are plenty women who know how to run the two together smoothly. A woman can maintain sexual relationship with another man without letting it affect the home.

She goes to nack the guy and cleans mouth. She gets home and go back to the good wife default mode without losing 1% of herself.

Na fact I just yarn you. Most of the claims you read about women on the internet are false.

Insurance company go dey cry blood now

pigmania:
Them go surely knack your wife wetin no good, karma will ensure that.

Karma isn't real bro. If them nack am, no be because of Karma na because he just happen. Life is not mathematics bro, you cant calculate its workings. And as for nacking my wife, I honestly don't care if dem nack her. I want her to enjoy. In fact I told her she is free to sleep with another man. She just doesn't seems like someone who will ever do it. She thinks I'm crazy.

Them don nack plenty good men wife and him never cheat before or nack another man wife.

And some bad guys wey dey nack everything, nobody don nack their wife.

If Karma is real, dem Tinubu and Babangida family no suppose don die of leprosy? No be so so enjoyment them dey? Meanwhile, many good Nigerians dey suffer.

Goan sidon somewhere. Una go dey think say life na Nollywood.

Every generalization is false.

I hate it when people come online and generalize about women.

Everyone is different

Some women just want to bang that fine looking guy they met in church, on the street or wherever without any strings attached. As much as women are emotional being, some of them just want to taste different deeks without any strings. They just want to enjoy and it ends there.

I know this because I have been that guy they just want to bang with no strings attached on multiple occasions.

I am a chronic cheat. And if I ever catch my wife sleeping with some guy for the sake of sex alone, I'd commot face. Let her enjoy! If she's getting emotionally entangled I will try detach her from the dude and forgive her without thinking twice. Where I will draw the line is going back to the same person over and over again after I warn her to stop. The only issue is my wife looks like she'd never cheat. I dont actually mind if she gets drilled somewhere else providing its just for fun.

And just so you know, a lot of men forgive their cheating wives. They dont just say it. Na only for internet they say they will pursue her back to her papa house. But when the reality hits, they cry their eyes out, forgive the woman and commot face.

And another generalization I dont like is that once a woman cheats, she will never change. Anther lie.

A lot of women have cheated, and once caught and they know the gravity of their actions, they change for good and never go back. I also know this because I have been that guy that banged married women and once the husband caught them, they felt sorry and changed for good.

Stop the generalization. It doesnt make sense!

Any fine woman here dont mind banging a caring and loving married man in his very late thirties? Send me a DM

Unintelligent, emotional comments when he talks about Arsenal etc
Thierry Henry is the type of intelligent ex players you should listen to
Even Jay Jay gives decent opinions

You're very wrong about him.

TheGoodJoe:
Rodri was the engine room and tactical mastermind for Luis de la Fuente’s side. Spain dominated possession in almost every game, entirely due to his ability to dictate the tempo and control passing lanes. In the final against Argentina, he completely disrupted the reigning champions' rhythm, helping restrict them to zero shots on target during regular time.

Rodri broke the all-time World Cup record for the most completed passes in a single tournament with 756 passes across the competition, shattering his own previous record set in 2022

With Rodri shielding the backline, Spain made history by becoming the first World Cup-winning side to concede only 1 goal during the entire competition.

His defensive work rate was legendary; notably in the semi-final against a highly dangerous French attack, he won 11 duels. He won more than the entire French midfield combined.

We witnessed one of the best possession masterclass in this tournament and Rodri was the key to it. Clearly the best player.

Thank you for this

Is John Obi Mikel the Most Intelligent Nigerian Ex-International?

In Nigerian football, greatness is often measured by trophies, fame, and national impact. But when the boots come off, a different kind of test begins — one that separates legends from survivors.

And in that second phase of life, John Obi Mikel may just be playing a different game entirely — and winning it convincingly.

From Football Royalty to Strategic Thinker

Mikel’s football career alone already places him among Nigeria’s elite. He spent over a decade at Chelsea, winning multiple trophies including the UEFA Champions League, Premier League titles, and FA Cups, while also earning over 90 caps for Nigeria and winning the 2013 AFCON.

But what truly sets him apart is not what he did on the pitch — it’s what he’s doing after it.

The Post-Retirement Trap Many Fall Into


Let’s be honest.

A number of Nigerian ex-internationals struggle after retirement:

Some go broke due to poor financial decisions
Some attempt coaching but fail to make meaningful impact
Others turn to endorsing betting platforms for relatively small paydays
Many gradually fade out of relevance

This is not unique to Nigeria, but the pattern is noticeable.

Even respected figures like Sunday Oliseh, despite their football intelligence, have faced unstable coaching careers, including short-lived managerial stints and controversies.

The reality is simple: football intelligence does not always translate to life intelligence.

Mikel’s Reinvention: A Masterclass in Positioning

While others struggle to stay relevant, Mikel has done something different — he has repositioned himself as a global football voice.

1. Owning His Narrative Through Media

Mikel launched The Obi One Podcast, where he interviews top football personalities — from former teammates to global superstars and coaches.

This is not just a podcast — it’s a strategic platform:

He controls his narrative
He stays relevant in global football conversations
He builds relationships with elite figures

2. Breaking Into Global Sports Media

His insight and credibility have earned him roles on major platforms.

He was selected as an analyst for FOX Sports’ 2026 FIFA World Cup coverage
He regularly provides expert football opinions on international platforms
His voice is now quoted across major sports media

According to FOX Sports, Mikel “hosts his successful podcast… and joins FOX Sports… as an analyst” — a clear sign of global recognition.

3. From Player to Influencer of the Game

Unlike many ex-players who chase relevance, Mikel has become someone the football world listens to.

He speaks boldly on issues — from club tactics to national team failures — and his opinions carry weight, often making headlines.

4. Smart Brand Positioning

Instead of quick money moves, Mikel has built:

A premium personal brand
Long-term media credibility
Access to elite football networks

This is a classic case of playing the long game.

Intelligence Beyond the Pitch

So what exactly makes Mikel “intelligent” in this context?

It’s not academic intelligence.

It’s:

Strategic thinking
Brand awareness
Timing and positioning
Understanding of media power
Network leverage

While others monetize their past, Mikel has monetized his relevance.

A Different Kind of Wealth

There’s also a deeper layer to this conversation.

In today’s Nigeria, even outside football, many people are drawn into fast-money ecosystems like betting — which research shows often leads to consistent losses for followers.

Mikel represents the opposite:

Value creation over shortcuts
Influence over quick cash
Legacy over hype

So… Is He the Most Intelligent?

That’s subjective.

But here’s what is not debatable:

John Obi Mikel has:

Transitioned smoothly from football to global media
Built a respected voice in the sport
Created platforms that keep him relevant
Positioned himself among elite football personalities

While many ex-internationals are trying to stay in the game, Mikel has found a way to own a piece of it.

Final Thoughts

Maybe the question is not whether Mikel is the most intelligent Nigerian ex-international.

Maybe the real question is:

How many others understood the game beyond football the way he clearly does?

Because in the end, intelligence is not just about how you play the game…

It’s about how you play life after the game is over.

I have tried going into sporty bet but i am still sceptical about it.

Sporty bet or any form of gambling will destroy your life bro.

It will keep your pocket drained, your brain drain. It will get you depressed. You become less interested in other things that can make you money. If it eats deep into you, you become a burden to yourself and your loved ones.

It will destroy your life.

Run!.

As for helping you. Need to ask you: What skills do you have?

The hey days of success digest and forex back then 2007 to 2011 was lit

I used to cycles miles to buy success digest

Oh, yeah. Those years. I was one of the popular guys selling materials on SD that time.

Akin Alabi was one the biggest then.

WantsandMore:
What's causing your dips , realized it yet?

I am one hell of a risk taker. I am not resting until I become billionaire in dollars. In chasing the big bag, you risk more.

Everytime I crashed, its because I am putting money in new ideas and business and all.

Everytime I make something huge, its still because I put everything in some deal or business.

I wont stop till I blow like mad

Wait, so there are people who are grown and never made 1 million Naira? Thats less than $800 na.

Wow!

Not mocking anyone tho, I'm just surprised.

Made my first one million at age 21 in 2008 selling ebooks for 2k. Sold about 600 copies after running an advert on one newspaper that year, Success Digest paper. Adjust that to inflation and it should be over 10 million Naira today.

I have made several tens of millions over and over and over again and gotten broke over and over and over again since that time. Going broke, getting back up, going broke again and getting up. Now I am up again, hopefully I wont go back broke again.

Its been one hell of a journey.

TheNonexisting:
Single motherhood has dealt a big blow to our society. This is one of the results. Nobody can convince me that this thing has a father figure in her life.

Shutopp.

Your hatred for single mothers will make you to divert any topic towards them in any way you can find.

Abi how this one take concern single motherhood.

Do you know the family she comes from to conclude that she was raised by a single mother?

Abi people wey their papa and mama raise together no dey do nonsense?

Fvvck you bro

I dont know about number 2 to number 500 but I know number one is Social Status, to flaunt to people and say "I don marry. I am a married woman"

Not a single lie detected.

People sell their properties for different reasons since the days of Nebuchadnezar. Carpenter, Doctor, Engineer, Yahoo boy, Pastor, Babalawo, anybody.

Let the young man do whatever he feels is best for him without being judged.

How is this even front page worthy seff to begin with

That is why he can never be the GOAT.

He has always robbed his way to the top.

Under 20 World cup in 2005 against Nigeria, he robbed.

Champions League trophies with Barcelona, he robbed. (Na that Chelsea own pain me pass)

4 of his 8 Balon D'or, he robbed.

Copa America, he robbed.

2022 World Cup, he robbed.

ned009:
Mama ain't Mumu na,..You probably think she doesn't know what she's doing?

She tied the knot already and even did it in Nigeria so she is mumu.

If the wedding was in her country, she could leverage more. Naija boy can just bribe his way with Ikoyi registry to get them to speed up the divorce papers once he gets his green card.

Amotolongbo:
What a hopeless boy he is.

Cos of green card and another man’s money and estate.

Leave him. Na sharp guy. He knows what he is doing.

Once he gets his hands on the gold, he'll renounce the name and move on.

This looks like a writeup of someone who doesnt know how life works

franvincoop:
The same Osimhen who will never play a match at the world cup till he dies?

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lewandowski and Dominik Szoboszlai did not go to the world cup, does that make them useless?

Brandon Thomas-Asante of Ghana is going to the World Cup, does that make him better than Osimhen?

Una go dey talk from anus

Whats so special about this Alvarez. He is good but not worth all the hype.

Will pick Osimhen over him x20

Dude loves eating junks so much he even started a burger company to make the rest of us be like him.

babtoundey:
I got myself into this trouble three weeks ago.

I was out of town when I received a call from a friend. We had been friends since when we were in school. Though we didn't see regularly (the last time we saw before this incident was over 8 years ago) but we conversed regularly. When he called he informed me he needed to stay with me that he had an issue with his landlord. He wasn't really explicit or straight in his explanation. When i was reluctant, he mentioned that he was staying for just one week. Okay, no problem. I said.

When i returned home, i refuse to call him because it needed my space for myself so as to be able to attend to some urgent works. The second day after the agreement was sealed, he asked if i had returned i told hime i wouldn't be returning until that evening.

This friend came with his bag very early the following day which was a Monday morning. It was after he settled in that I got to know that he left another friends house for my house. And before he went to that person house, he had been staying with another friend. Whatever reason he left that person's house, i wouldn't know. The moment he came, he started calling people (his mum, brother and girlfriend), citing my address as his current location.

My major headache is, this person had already spent three weeks and he doesn't seem ready to leave. All he does is, press phone, sleep and wakeup. He has already strained my food supply. I am hardly at home; I go to work in the morning and return late at night. I just noticed food I can't finish in two months vanished in two weeks. He uses my toiletries (bathing soap included), my hair cream and body cream.

What pains me is, he isn't coming out straight and is not seem comfortable discussing what his plans are. He only seems fixated with online business or whatsoever.

I will appreciate ideas on how to tell this friend to excuse me.

E get one style wey I use one time without spoiling the relationship.

I told him a family member who has accommodation issue is coming to stay with two of her kids for a while.

I then gave him 2 days to leave as my sister will be coming in 3 days and I dont want her and her kids to meet him

He left the second day.

And you think I would like to stop?

This is the 21st century. Everything about your life is attached to your phone. If I wake up and the first thing I do is to check my phone, I am just being me; just being the 21st century human being I should be.

She must have slept with two different men within few hours apart for this to happen.

Bandirao:
So this is me, a 21 year old, I am 185cm (6.1feets) and very slim. I have this kind of build that can be considered ectormorphic putting on weight is very hard for me. I only weight around 66 to 68 kg. I am just simply a twink.

People always call me dogo (tall in hausa) even though I am not very tall, I hate it when people call me skinny. I started going to the gym to help matters but I can't continue the diet. I have low appetite with high metabolism.

My life is just sad.
I am introverted and I don't want to go out I just wish I am short and muscular or even fat, some people are just aggressive towards me for no reason at all and always want to make small thing big and want to engage in a fist fight with me especially shorter guys.

In short my life is just sad. I have no girl friend because I think probably no girl will love me. I always live alone and I cope with just being a nerdy and terminally online, but anyway I think probably there are people like me with the same experience with me and I just waft them to share their experiences and give me advice so I can feel related.

Google Image

You just described me. Exactly 6.1 and slim.

You problem is that you dont love yourself.

I am 40 years old now and I look and feel so good and healthy. I feel lite and full of life. My stature now makes more sense than 95% of my friends. I am a clean, healthy looking sugar zaddy now.

You no go appreciate yourself now until you grow up.

Love yourself. Love everything about being tall and thin. Thats all.

foleskay:
Its gotta be an IVF, cos the lady has been silent on social media for many months now.

And besides there's no baby shower photos anywhere which I trust her to have done if she was pregnant. Nevertheless, congratulations to them

You certainly don't know what IVF is. It is different from surrogacy. With IVF, she will carry her own pregnancy. Yes, she was pregnant.
