Commendable. But really they should also flood the system with forex to address the supply issues and reduce pressure on the naira.

And while at it, the CBN should also remember to regulate itself, the banks and engagements with politicians as they are the biggest culprits putting pressure on the naira through the same BDC racketeering.

The only part of this post I don't agree with is involvement of traditionalists (1925 - 1945) in the workplace. We are talking of people 80yrs and above. These would have long retired. Even Baby boomers (1946 - 60) are mostly no longer part of contemporary corporate workforce as they've entered retirement age.

Corporate workforce nowadays is mostly Gen X, Millenials and Gen Zs. Baby boomers are mostly into management of their post-retirement investments or store ownership. Traditionalists are waiting for final exit call.

Gen Z's mostly lack the rigor that drive achievement of quality results. If previous generations were superficial like that then the level of global development in all sectors would not have reached current levels.

Clown don open One small shop dey sell foodstuff come online dey claim I bought it for my house.

Rhat yam go spoil for there if crowd no dey to chop am.

Lol, this in fact shows the economy affects him very well.

He's buying those foodstuff in bulk now before naira plunge destroys his purchasing power completely. What is he doing with over 10 bottles of morning fresh at a go? Na plate washing factory?

Imagine showing off over an economical decision.

The mansion looks more like a Californian Beverly Hills styled property. Doesnt appear like the typical ostentatious Nigerian mansion.

Pardon my superstitiousness, but is it a coincidence he frequents Cali a lot and eventually died there?

So, what will they be charged with?

Having sex when not fully unclothed?

Having sex when the nation is mourning Access CEO and AFCON loss?

Having sex without local government permit?

Or what?

Konjified Trespassing

Aina
Chukwueze
Iwobi
Saidu


but blame the coach for keeping Aina throughout the match.


Aina is the main reason we lost, all the goals came from his poor marking of that young Ivorian striker. The way the small boy was overspeeding Aina and dribbling him was shameful

Wrong. Aina was culpable only for the second goal.

The first goal was from a corner kick and it was Nwabali who was mainly at fault for coming out of his line half-heartedly and exposing his near post as a result. Then he also should still have saved the header but the ball squirmed through his palms.

Zaidu was also partly liable for the first goal as he left Kessie free to head the corner.

We mainly lost because our midfield was non-existent, thereby putting undue pressure on the full-backs and goal keeper. The tactics employed by Peseiro was wrong, hence I'll put the loss on him.

Chai

Poor passing from Aina. Our boys are looking tired and leggy already. What happend na

ThierryJay:
I just pray Zaidu makes it through this match without a major blunder. He's been almost caught out couple of occasions.

I just said it. Zaidu was supposed to mark Kessie but left him free. He's been a calamity joor.

Our boys now need to react. They need to show the energy they gave all through the knockouts.

I just pray Zaidu makes it through this match without a major blunder. He's been almost caught out couple of occasions.

Oh boy. It's not over o.

The night is still long. Our defenders are a bit shaky tonight. Bassey, Zaidu & Aina have shown lapses.

Bring in Simon & change formation to 5 - 3 -2 or 3 - 4 -3.

killsmith:
With the right players, the low block is unconquerable.
Mourinho used this tactics at Chelsea and conceded just 15 goals in a full season.

Yeah. Good for Mourinho, Chelsea & the Super Eagles, but:

...the Barca way of winning remains the best.

affable4:
Don’t worry, Simon is coming in to increase the tally

I hope so. Nigeria's tally let's be exact.

Numerouno94:
My boss, u dey here too?

Omo I get stand for here gidigba. We go celebrate this trophy together

Angelfrost:
Awesome Goal...!

Mourinho tactics have worked so far.

Let them play the possession while we take our few chances and score.


Troost Ekong is the player of the tournament!!!

As in ehn, I now understand how Chelsea fans dey feel playing under Mourinho those years. Na just to close eye sleep while Barcelona and Bayern play their lives scatter and na Chelsea go dey count goal. As a Chelsea fan, you no even need to watch match na result sure to collect.

Chai, so na una enjoyment be dis all those years. Monkey dey work na baboon go dey chop

mrwilliams9:
We no really get midfielders wey sabi hold ball. Regardless of the outcome of this match, we need to scout for at least 2 proper ball playing midfielders.

I agree. Our midfield has collapsed and Osimhen, Lookman and Chukwueze are suffering for it.

I don't understand this our BOOM the ball to Osimhen football style o.

Surely we can do better than this.

EKONGOOOOALLL!!

First shot on goal, First goal!

Player of the tournament for me

In Nwabali's voice: "We'll f^ck them up here"

By the way, starting Chukwueze over Simon has been a blunder. Chukwueze lacks that thrust and energy that Moses Simon brings.

Easily Argentina vs France WC final 2022. The swap in emotions from joy to anguish to relief then disbelief and finally ecstasy was incredible!

Liverpool vs Barca 2019 was a very bad one for me. But it was more of sadness than tension cos firstly I didnt believe we could allow lightning strike twice in less than a year and then Liverpool struck quickly in succession in the second half to wipe off Barca's advantage so the tension was brief but replaced by hopelessness.

Messi owns the streets of the Middle East even though he doesn't play there. Imagine Al Nassr fans were chanting Messi Messi after he was brought on late in their game against Inter Miami even when winning 6 -0.

Most of them came to watch Messi during the tournament. Ronaldo no dey attract pass 40 - 80 fans during Al Nassr's regular games.

E sure me say if Pendu wasnt in this game, Al Nassr would have probably gotten something from the game. He makes them worse based on their match vs Inter Miami. But arrogance no go allow am see road.

Ronaldo? Airport that way........

matify83:
This is a despicable and utterly reprehensible act by these children.

Nobody should allow kids denigrate the office or person of the president.

This is an indictment on us all whatever our political leaning.

I may hold a strong aversion for my president but I can't condescend to such unruly behavior as depicted in this video.

The management of this school should be queried for dereliction of duty.

Actually, the incidence occurred before the elections. Video was first shared during the campaigns.

So, at the time, they were not denigrating the office of the President.

1nice:
The video is real.
You are shocked the school children knows tinubu as national criminal.

You people eyes would soon clear.

The video is truly real but an old one. It took place before the elections.

I remember the video was first circulated during campaigns, balablu, townhall and all that.

Bringing it up now is just propaganda.

ddippset:
This is soccer hooliganism and it happens everywhere.

Even here in Nigerian League, players and goalkeepers are threatened, referees beaten, houses burnt for going to win an AWAY match.

Even Nigerians can do the same thing, there are soccer hooligans everywhere.

You re right Couz. I remember Sampdoria terminated their player Ahn Jung Wan's contract because he scored the winning goal that eliminated Italy from the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Guy could not return to Italy after the WC.

Jokerman:
Yes... That's why not many players can make opposition fans give them a round of applause because of their performance on the pitch....

Woah, only two players actually, Dinho and CR7

Lol you've shifted from what CR7 cant do to opposition round of applause.

Well to burst your bubble several players have received appreciation from opposing fans including Messi (Betis & national opponents), Iniesta (RMadrid), Modric, Henry (Fulham) & De Lima (Man utd).

In fact, Al Nassr fans were still chanting Messi, Messi and hurraying at every touch of his on the ball despite the 6 - 0 scoreline and much to Pendu's chagrin. He couldnt understand how Messi owned the Arabian streets even on his own territory.

Henry's solo goals vs Liverpool & R Madrid. Ronaldo has never done such single handed artistry vs that level of opposition. His best high profile goal was the Bicycle kick vs Juventus which is a finishing goal and replicated in same campaign by Bale, and several others before and after.

AImiron:
Hazard the whole crying fanbase, they got the taste of their medicine, i see more players speaking up soon, his madddnesss don dey too long. Me i no send their papa

Peter Crouch don tell them before. Once you say Pendu is better, him go immediately downgrade your IQ.

Jokerman:
You are a wicked person... Can you tell us the beautiful thing Henry can do that Ronaldo cannot do, or what Ronaldinho or R9 can do on the pitch that CR7 cannot do??

Don't run... Start listing them

Hmm. Ronaldinho vs Chelsea UCL 2nd round 2005/06. Bamboozled a solid wall of Chelsea defenders Terry, Carvalho & co through sheer force of will and scored a great solo goal.

Same Dinho vs Chelsea 04/05. Befuddled the Chelsea parked bus defence with Samba dance moves before chipping an hypnotized Petr Cech from 20 yards.

Dinho vs Madrid 05/06 solo goal, Dinho vs Gattuso leg over spin and outrageous assist to Giuly in UCL semi final.

Pendu has never and cannot replicate these levels of magical artistic moments against such high profile opponents. He doesnt have that level of talent to pull it off.

You really overrate this guy.

AImiron:
Were you surprised they reacted that way, average pendudogs type before they reason, they lack comprehension skills

Lol you gat no chill with Pendulums.

Me I just dey happy as they are triggered. Next time they compare Pendu to Messi, I'll remind them to settle with Hazard first. That's their level

Jokerman:
The only footballers in the category of Ronaldo, who are on the same level or better ...

Pessi
Ronaldinho
R9
Zidane
Pele
Maradona

End of.

Let Hazard be better than Nani or Robinho

I agree with your list and would only add Cryuff and Di Stefano.

But Hazard did admit that Pendu is greater than he is na. Why are you ignoring that part. He is only claiming the pure football aspect you know .

Just like Giroud can wake up one day and claim he is better than Messi in heading football.

Leave pure football for Hazard abeg

Jokerman:
Don't disappoint me bro.

However is dribbling= Talent?

Lol am I Hazard?

On a serious note, whenever they say a player is talented, the number one and most common metric is dribbling esp the effective one. Then comes technique, the flicks and tricks/exceptional ball control, then pace, then passing, shooting, judgement/ball sense and so on in that order.

Most of the young early prodigious talents in football were mostly picked out because of their effective dribbling e.g De Lima, Maradona, Robben, Messi, Dinho, Neymar, George Best and even young Pendu himself.

My personal opinion: In effective dribbling Hazard was better than Ronaldo. While in flicks and tricks and all the other parameters, the pre-30 yrs Pendu was better.

But I suspect that in Hazard's dictionary, the pure football he referred to was dribbling

Jokerman:
Jonsing guy... Talk about hazard and stop beating about the bush 😂

Oh oh You see the same way you and your ilk are triggered about Hazard's claim is the same way we feel when you guys start to compare Pendu with the GOAT.

And oh, there really is a case to be made that Hazard was more talented than Pendu. At least he was a better dribbler than even Prime Pendu. His solo goals were better than Pendu's. So, some facts do support his claims even if he was shit at Madrid.

Don't cry o
