Can't spend more than 90k on a phone right now regardless of cashflow status as perspectives have changed.

90k because that's about the min. range to get a genuinely good quality non-Infinix/Tecno or any other Transsion phone

No mind dem, make messi comot for barca that they have been shouting since. barca is under performing and having crisis but messi still stayed there and help dem to even win trophy with that their yeye team but ronaldo failed juve n decided to run. So he won't collect champions league again for juve ni cus me still dey wait o as ronaldo fans be dey shout then

OJEEMAH:
Saying Ronaldo is a failed project in juve is a huge slap on their faces that why they keep blaming his teammates when things go south. CR7 fanboys are too delusional. Same group of people failed to acknowledge Pep's success and dominance in England simply because he has not won the UCL but turn around to educate on Ronaldo's success in italy.

I honestly think they never knew they'd fall into the same bucket they had been criticizing over the years i.e Messi and Pep. So they had to change mouth to save face and it looks really ridiculous. All of them are schizophrenia victims.

Guy, you cracked me up real bad that I'm coughing

I heard Iheanacho and co. dismantled over 20 bottles of Chelsea dry gin to celebrate their FA Cup win lol.

Best dribbler right now is Messi or Neymar. Back in 2007, the best dribbler was Messi.

Most skillful player in history is Ronaldinho and Maradona.

Comparing a 36 yr old to a 33 yr old that has spent all his career in one club to one that joint an economical goal scoring team in the Italian league just 3yrs ago and u are not ashamed to say its just 10 goals diff... a juventus team that hasnt scored 4 goals more than 5 times in a game in all competitions even b4
Ronaldo joined...

Let messi join atletico and let me know how he will score 20 goals a season, talkless of a juve team...messi the fraud always riding on other players shine... suarez left him and went to atletico and won them the league....simply shows that suarez is a better player.... he scored in big games , while messi was busy looking for huesca and eibar to score...

Yeye arguments. Why can't you compare 36 year old CR to 33 year old Messi? Is it Messi's fault that CR was a late bloomer such that while Messi was getting nominated for World best player at 20 years, Ronaldo had to wait until he was 23 before becoming world class. Why don't you also give Messi the credit for the 3 year headstart?

Well, by your logic, Lukaku is also a better player than CR. After all, he won Inter the league in which CR was also a participant. Even Arturo Vidal left Barca and joined Inter and has now won the League. And pls tell, in how many big games did your CR score a non-penalty goal this Serie A season? Let me see how you'd weave your way out of this one.

Kingcalls:
Ronaldo moves ....but u guys said messi is forever loyal to barca and he was treated by barca and nothing can ever make him leave barca...my argument then was , he is only in barca cos barca is one of the few masterclass teams in Europe and that if it was valencia or sevilla that treated him when he was a kid that he wud have left ....but u guys sang songs of he can never leave....now that barca is gradually turning to sevilla , baba wan japa...

U messi fans and messi are huge hypocrites and pretenders....I like Ronaldo cos he doesn't pretend just like we his fans ...

So if you knew Ronaldo moves about, why did you then say that he wasn't going to abandon Juve a few days ago just to have a basis to spite Messi? That's a sure sign of Schizophrenia my brother or is it sister and you should get medical attention asap.

You that is oozing hypocrisy is calling other people hypocritical, ahem I don't know the medical term for that condition sha

FYI Most Barca fans don't say Messi can never leave but that he has been loyal (this is a fact as he has been carrying Barca since God knows when and Barca's problems had started for over 3 - 4 years now). He could have gone to Man City, PSG, Bayern or Inter Milan since then. So Messi's loyalty to Barca is never in dispute regardless of whatever reason. If he wants to leave now, after 17 years at Barca, how can that be termed abandonment by any rational person?

If the above is what you are calling hypocritical, madame you need a doctor asap.

Kingcalls:
Juventus never took advantage of his great talent...had very very very weak midfielders that were not good and crossing the ball well or throwing long passes , or deadly thru balls just like most teams do.... Ronaldo always complained about the midfielders not spotting his runs or openings, even when they do , they are never accurate.... Baba hammer 60 league goals in 2 seasons , only Lewandowski bettered that with 75 goals , Messi 54 ... .. abeg, Baba Don try ...the season juve should have won the CL was in his first season , but the rest of the team dint turn up...

For those saying he left it worse are mad in their head.... 82 league goals in 3 seasons and they say he worsened them... out of his 29 league goals this season , 6 na penalty.... 29 league goals in 33 games

BeverlyJ, you are a chronic hypocrite o. Wasn't it just a few days ago that you were abusing Messi that he wants to take the easy way out by leaving Barca and emphasizing that Ronaldo would never abandon Juve ship even when they are at risk of not qualifying for UCL?

Now you've changed tune to Baba don try abeg, bla bla bla.. See wonderment.

I recall you guys used to wail that Messi should have left Barca to test other leagues, then when possibility of leaving came, your cries changed to Messi was a coward for wanting to leave a struggling Barca team. Now you are hailing CR for same thing you criticized Messi for.

Your brand of confusion is premium and should be studied as a course in Universities.

donjazet:
Mr dictionary. Also muscle man.

Just checked a lot of your posts and I can see that you are indeed Mr Dikko . Your choice of words is very grammarian. You re also quite analytical. All in all, you seem very "prim and proper bookish" based on your writing. But I'm curious as to how you got so interested muscle building at such a high intensity level (heck you re looking like a male fitness IndecentStar model from your profile).

And why restrict your analytical acumen to only Chelsea (99.9%) and Joe Biden (0.1%)? You should enter other sections more and dissipate!

felix00:
The fingers should be pointed at Koeman and only Koeman

My bad, that's the chief culprit. I was only listing the on-field saboteurs.

Atletico Madrid should please win their last 3 games abeg. Suarez must carry this cup.

Please what does Dest add to this team. Defending he can't do. Attacking-wise na miss road crosses he dey pull. How is he different from Semedo we kicked out?

Even Arsenal get better defenders than we have. Are we now that bad?

Debroslink:
Pedri is a waste of space. He's NOT the future. A serious coach would have got an alternative by now, even if it's from team B

This is not about Pedri. We scored 3 goals away from home. That's quite decent and I'm sure Atletico and Madrid's average goals scored away this season is not up to 3.

Our Achilles heel is the abject inability to defend any winning margin we have at the back. For God's sake we scored 3 away! Let the defenders also do their job na. Your fingers should be pointed at dem Dests, Robertos, Minguezas, Umtitis, Lenglets and not a budding Pedri.

This Koeman is bullshit o. Why bring in Sergi Roberto for injured Araujo? Now Levante easily scored cos their attacker easily bullied short Roberto to score

oluwaseyi0:
very true what you typed there

but my own bone of contention is how a deacon in this same GOFAMINT church is trying to religion-shame me all because I stopped going to church, claiming that God will no longer feel obliged to protect my life, provide for me and protect me, I try to explain to him to any religion won't give me a competitive advantage unfortunately that only angered him the more and he claimed devil can snatch me at any point, if I don't return to the church if t's I or my kid that has died like this, this same deacon will have claimed that I gave room to the devil

Lol I get, but you need to understand that a lot of religious people often act based on their own personal convictions and give little room to understand other's point of view. Goodluck with this your personal matter with your deacon.

oluwaseyi0:
I think this issue is getting overflogged, people die everyday why should Adeboye and Abina own be different because they are pastors , because they use to say if you want to see next year shout alleluia

Nobody is more special than the other, or you expect their religion to give them special consideration and make them immune to dieing at a specific age?

Your comment at the emboldened is only true in an Utopian/Ideal world. In the real world, people with power/influence demonstrate that they are more special than others. George Orwells Animal Farm describes it best when he said all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

Why do you think lots of popular people congratulated Davido on the birth of his son Ifeanyi, but didn't they see the thousands of other new babies born in Nigeria at that same time to congratulate?

Why do the high and mighty celebrate the birthday of their clique members on the pages of newspapers and ignore those of the regular people that they know about?

Why would it be different when it's about death? Note this is evident all over the world. Even World leaders call one another to either celebrate or sympathise depending on the situation. Do they call the common people like that? You should not overlook the impact of network and class system in the way things are done in the real world.

obonujoker:
When Juve qualify... Na here I go dey

Before nko, pls look at the headline again. It reads "As things stand...." so make we troll you isi-ewu wannabes finish on that basis. Whatever happens afterwards na irrelevancy as things stand today.

Messi own never bad reach this CR own, yet you guys dey troll am relentlessly, even when he does well individually. Have a worse taste of your own medicine bro.

devvy44:

Oga leave story and better go and subscribe for Startimes before e cost beyond your reach.

The sad thing now is that Startimes price will rise like yeast as Pendu's fans besiege their decoders to watch Thursday football.

Ceo David Zhang will be like: Welcome home, Cristiano.

OJEEMAH:
Europa League final will be Juventus vs Real Betis

CR for Ballon D'or after scoring hat trick to dismantle Betis!

Meanwhile, Ronaldo getting goat shouts when he scores 4 goals each against Antioch, Thessaloniki and Galatia.

His fans be like: The GOAT is conquering new territories and provinces. Even Apostle Paul sef dey learn from him

obonujoker, where art thou

Y'all CR7 fans better start pricing Startimes now o so you can watch your GOAT on Thursday night

In other news, Cristiano tears the net with his first penalty goal against Galilee FC in Europa.

lexy2014:
Still haven't answered d questions:

U really haven't said anything. How is "everything that happens in this world blamed on Desmond Elliott"? When did that happen?

Are you being deliberately d*mb?

I just told you that the OP's comment was based on a popular JOKE about Desmond Elliot on Twitter. Yet you are asking him to PROVE a joke?
Have you ever heard of the term Hyperbole? You are asking him to demonstrate how a hyperbolic joke is factually correct? Are you a 4 year old kid?

I give up. Jeez! such a time-waster.

Joromi1:
I would have shed a tear for this nigga but he's an IPOB youth. This nigga thinks he's living room the life marrying a white bitch who gave him a son, but shït will definitely hit the fan when she files for divorce and demands her own share of the fortune. It's the way of white bïtches.

That don't look like a white bitch to me o. All I see is a well bleached Naija lady. Check the knuckles. Even the son doesn't look half-caste but carries the strong physical features of his papa and mama

lexy2014:
U really haven't said anything. How is "everything that happens in this world blamed on Desmond Elliott"? When did that happen?

Lol this guy and his utterly naive questions. What do they say again about people who don't get the joke when every other person in the room has? That fits you perfectly. I'm sure lots of people avoid quoting you because of your off-point comments which you often try to pathetically disguise as intelligent questioning.

Anyway, to answer your question, not every comment is to be taken literally. If you are familiar with Twitter, you'd know that Desmond Elliot regularly trends there as the butt of several jokes, chief among them being the one held responsible for everything that goes wrong with everybody and everything in Nigeria. I guess this came about because of his not so impressive "projects" commissioned in his consistuency and of course his endsars debacle which he was never really forgiven for.

Nairaland trended positively on twitter yesterday because of posts like these, in light of the unfortunate murder of Iniobong by that devilish Uduak guy. Job seekers really need to be careful.

RIP Ini

My God, what was that? These guys just messed up my evening. No creative intensity in that second half. It was like we already gave up immediately after Granada equalised. How the heavens did we bottle such a big opportunity.

Umtiti got badluck men. At fault for the 2 goals on the only 2 occasions Granada attacked us meaningfully in the 2nd half.

I don't blame our attack. Sometimes champions grind out 1 - 0 wins and it's fine. Our defence was at least supposed to be able to hold it together against a severely weakened Granada side. But no, twas another letdown from Umtiti and co just as they've been doing all season.

If we fail to win the league, Lenglet and Umtiti should know that they are our chief saboteurs.

Got my first salaried job at 16 years old. Was paid N1,500 per month lol.

Got my first post NYSC job at 24 years old. Earned N29,000 monthly.

Landed my first "proper" corporate job at 25yrs. Earned about N130,000 monthly after tax.

Well, actually the tax credit is backed by law under the Road Infrastructure Tax Credit scheme. So in this regard, Dangote is only reaping the benefit of his investment in developing road infrastructure in Nigeria.

A lot of Nigerians criticize without understanding what they are criticizing. This tax credit is also available to Flour Mills and some other private entities.

OP the reason the focus is on Dangote is because he is the market leader by some distance and the one who pulls the strings in the cement segment.

Essentially, Dangote determines the cement wholesale price even for BUA and LafargeHolcim. These other players set their prices based on pricing moves made by Dangote on cement. They dare not take the initiative in pricing because it may backfire on them cos they know Dangote wields the controlling power in that sector. I know all these because I've worked in professional capacity closely with one of Dangote's competitors.

Dangote is like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. If a team constitutes a threat to Bayern, they simply buy their best players over. Last year, Dangote easily poached Lafarge's MD, Michel Purchercos, like he was some piece of Shawarma. That gives you an indication of how powerful he is.

jpmoriarti:
No counter attack, no Mbappe.

While taking nothing away from Mbappe, I said it before that he finds it hard to thrive in the absence of spaces in between the lines.

I recall saying that it was not a coincidence that he shined against Bayern and Barca two teams that play a high line and yield counter attacking situations to opponents.

This was prime Messi's forte.

This one is hard o. But OP you omitted Gabriel Batistuta, that's sacrilege!

If long-range refers to shots scored from outside the 18-yard box, then Messi is the best as he has scored the highest number of these kind of goals since the late 20th century.

However, if you are referring to long distance shots scored from 25 yards and further away, the best is between Batistuta, Frank Lampard, CR7 and Steven Gerard. I believe Gerard just about pips it as he scored several memorable long-distance goals over a considerably long period of time e.g vs ManUtd in carling cup final and another one in 2006 FA cup final. In this category, my ranking would be:

1. Gerard
2. Lampard
3. CR7
4. Batistuta
5. Sneijder
6. Gareth Bale
7. Zlatan
8. Paul Scholes
9. R.Carlos
10. Adriano/Totti

Honorable mentions: Rivaldo, Coutinho, Schweinsteigger, Recoba, Riise, Insigne, Rooney, Del Piero, Ronald Koeman, L. Podolski, Hulk, Sunday Oliseh, Stoitchkov, Beckham, Pirlo, Seedorf, Kroos, Sinisa Mihaljovic

Note that I'm not saying they are the hardest shooters but the most accurate long-range shooters. Hardest long-range shooters would be R.Carlos, Batistuta and Adriano. These 3 guys can kick stones like a bullet.

Also, direct free-kicks are excluded in my assessment.
