[quote author=Ellexy post=139927253]Agenda wey don DOA

Another Barcabot Messi stan

You are welcome.

Argentina are masters of dark Arts..just like their South American brothers.

Evidence choke.

Na your kind dey fail simple exams o.

You said dark arts against France, I gave you 2 recent WC matches against France that ended 4-3 and 3-3 without any dark arts, you con dey shift goalpost to vs Netherlands which wasn't even anything remotely comparable to what Paraguay displayed yesterday.

Guy you no get point and spamming a reply with sore losers accusatory pictures isn't going to change that.

It's a simple question. Did Argentina employ the dark arts against France in 2018 and 2022 like you are positing?

I watch football with my eyes and I will always judge with what I see

Argentina wey Bozo genes full their body for 2022 na him person Dey talk say dem dey play very dirty

Bottled against Saudi
Almost bottled against a fragile Australia team if not for Lisandro Martinez masterclass

Bottled against Netherlands
Still bottled against France after dominating for 70 mins

That World Cup final was labeled as a very entertaining one ,but fast to 2026 na different story we Dey hear

No mind them bro. Argentina's win was very much a honest one without any notable refereeing scandal.

Their grouse is just that Argentina are the beneficiary. Replace Argie's run with France and everywhere would have been quiet.

And I'm hearing with evidence, that Global pro-you know who PR firms from Saudi are the ones behind the deliberate smearing of Argentina campaign in this WC, recruiting 9ja influencers to spread the rigging agenda.

The funniest thing is the scandalous decisions that Lord Ogunmekpon's team has benefited from this WC at this stage already is head & shoulders above anything that remotely favored Argentina in the entire 2022 WC.

But history will always separate the King from pretenders to the throne.

Jamiuokolaa:
Argentina would probably play similar tactics if they meet France.

All those thier unknown players wey no sabi anything.

Our man lisandro Martinez dey relish those kind dirty theatrics

All of these sentimental projections no dey make sense when facts clearly dey.

Argentina has played France in the last two World cups and both games were classic all timers in WC history.

Na Paraguay commit, na Argentina dey catch sub. Agenda dey smell.

What's the title of that movie - that Ramsey joined a cult in the university then they went to rob a US returnee which eventually turn out the be his uncle

Alex usifo was his dad who was justice commisioner

Silent Night. His dad was forced to sentence him to death.

dominique:
South Africa officially becomes the first country to get knocked out of the world cup. Bye boys! You had a good run!

Which good run did they have? They still have never qualified for the Round of 16 which is truly when the real KO rounds begins.

These current round is just an extended group stage - cleverly framed as KO.

SA didnt qualifiy for Ro16 in 1998, in 2010 and now in 2026. They are bek to where they belong.

dominique:
Turkey, Tunisia, Jordan, Panama, Haiti and Uzbekistan have all been knocked out of the tournament.

Uzbekistan should not be out yet. They can still jump into third place if they beat Congo.

AirBere:
Turkey and Haiti are officially elimated!

I get it now, they are really gone as they can't even get 3rd place based on the H2H rule with Australia and Paraguay having beaten them and they can't catch the US on points.

AirBere:
Turkey and Haiti are officially elimated!

How? Explain. Can't they be third again?

Lana1:
Village people really followed Turkey in this world cup. Many chances created in both games with a man advantgae in this game and the ball just wouldn't go in

It looks like they will still meet their 1000 presidential convoy wey escort them to the airport when they were leaving for the US, to take them back home, because which kind unfortunate witchery be this?

I really had high hopes for them. They still have a mathematical chance of qualifying for best 3rd place sha, but the US in this form na tough meat.

Modified: They are completely gone as they are confirmed 4th.

What Messi's hattrick cannot do does not exist. It has sent the entire Penduverse into complete meltdown.

What were his fans thinking? Sending death threats to his teammates and their families, Sister cursing out the team, Fandom tearing at each other apart. How does this help the unity that Portugal needs to deliver the WC for Lord Ogunmepon? Talk about self-sabotage.

Messi's next hatrick will be nuclear for them

limcar:
madueke is an unproductive player. He may dazzle but his end product is zero

I don't disagree

BlueRayDick:
There's nothing defensive about telling u Madueke is shiiit. It is what it is....

When coaches start inventing yeye qualities for players like "runs faster past defenders", jut know the player is shiit and the coach is trying so hard to justify starting a shiiity player.

Nobody is going to the stadium to watch Madueke's headless runs that rarely results to goals or create chances for his team mates.

We are not really saying anything different. I share your opinion about Madueke's shittiness. But there's some truth about his direct playing style that Tuchel referenced even if it works only 2% of the time.

I think he's won a couple of penalties with it for Arsenal & England in recent times and almost won another one in the UCL final.

This is about how Madueke's style differs from Saka, Palmer n co and not how effective it is.

BlueRayDick:
There's nothing pacy direct about his style. He only started England's first game because Saka was not fully fit. He dosen't possess any skillset that can ever make him bench a fully fit Saka either at Arsenal or in the English national team. Saka's style of play even has a high style of winning PK compared to Madueke's.

Madueke na dirty abeg!

You don't need to get defensive. I am not saying he's better than Saka.

Tuchel mentioned the same thing when queried about Madueke's selection. He runs faster past defenders directly than Saka or Palmer n co. That directness can come in handy at times when silkiness doesn't work. Though it typically also lands him within the fans section.

Madueke is just an option. Shikena.

andrewbaba44:
Madueke and skill set on the same sentence 😂

Lol, in this context skillset na just attribute. No be say he get skills.

BlueRayDick:
Aswear, that league win covered some of his blushes sha particularly Madueke's whom the fan base even protested when he was signed. English Arsenal fans literally protested his signing, and he didn't even prove them wrong with his performance especially in the later part of the season when we needed him most to relieve Saka of the extreme work load.

Madueke plays like his football brain didn't develop completely. Sometimes he will attempt to dribble past a LB and will somehow overkick the ball having skippeed past the defender only for the ball to end up being goalkick

Madueke's saving grace is that he has a specific skillset that others in England or Arsenal don’t have which compensates for his lack of footballing brain.

He enjoys speed tax. His direct pacy style enables him to win penalties to unlock low blocks and that's about he only value he brings that put him on the plane to the US.

I so much h*te the way he laughs when he bungles play. Almost like a r*tard.

Barcelona buzzing tonight

Early birthday gift from FC Barcelona to me🎁🥳

Enhorabuena 🎉 29th time league Champions

I thought you'd be there live and bless us with live pictures.. lol

Congrats to us bro. No sweeter feeling than dunking on your main rival to win the title.

Visca Barca!

Will Exam Hoooold?

Follow Adesoji Aderemi road and you are out of school!

Those days....

cr7lomo:
Ur hate for Ronaldo is meaningless...Ronaldo leads , the rest follows.... including Maradona and Pele... we can give Messi number 6

Your supplier of those delusional wraps obviously does a great job.

cr7lomo:
No one cares about the number of games it took...we only care about the number of goals ... ..Messi has 13 world Cup goals in 26 appearances...mbappe has 12 world Cup goals in appearances .. so mbappe is better than Messi

Lol, this guy you still never drop this your conc bitterness for Messi after so many long years?

You seem to have a gap with interpreting numbers. Actually, the stats you shared does show that Mbappe is a better WorldCup *goalscorer* than Messi.

But there are other relevant WC parameters like golden ball (Messi has 2, Mbappe nil), assists (Messi 8, Mbappe 1) and overall influence.

So while players like Miroslav Klose, Mbappe, Just Fontaine, Gerd Muller are indeed better WC strikers than Messi, Messi is still an overall better World Cup player than all of them.

The greatest WC players are Pele, Messi, Maradona, De Lima & Zidane. Mbappe is likely join them if he has another stellar performance at this coming WC.

The real question is where has the world's greatest Youtuber, your hero, disappeared to in these elite WC conversations? Shameful abi shameless isn't it?

And oh, Messi is a better goalscorer than Pendu based on the same logic with the stats. Come and argue with sense, Adios.

We throw the word 'scholar' around too casually.

Has he published? Any peer review? Books? Provided thought leadership to his profession?

Hmm, how would you feel if someone queried whether Celine Dion was a great vocalist? Or Adichie as a renowned author?

You'd be horrified and that's exactly how this your question feels to many others.

Taiwo Oyedele is the ultimate thought leader in the field of taxation in Nigeria. He has pioneered thought leadership in tax and finance for over 18 years with tons of published articles.

He has been a big online reference for incoming investors to learn about the regulatory landscape in Nigeria.

Authored several books on tax and finance.

Tutored in ICAN centers for several years and shaped the current tax system in Nigeria.

When you hear PwC Nigeria, the number one name that comes to mind is Taiwo.

Taiwo Oyedele is the consummate professional expert and Scholar.

Okoroawusa:
Very insightful, brilliant, and sound financial analysis.

The points are very cogent and I believe that the relevant authorities will consider them.

Thank you very much.

Note that over 60% of that piece was written by AI.

While the points indeed appear to make sense, the real intent appears to be to push an agenda - to stem the appreciation of the Naira in the short term. People who earn or receive dollars in 9ja at the moment are not happy.

For example, the analysis fails to consider the impact of the operations of the dangote refinery on the Naira appreciation. Is that not part of in-country productivity that is sustaining the Naira strength? Why make it seem like it's only portfolio investment that is driving the Naira gains?

Also, its a natural order anywhere in the world that majority of investors will choose to follow the least risky or stressful path in generating returns for their money. Why build a house to receive rent that will not break even until after several years when one can just fix the money in some Treasury bills and earn 20% returns annually?

However, just like the 80-20% Pareto principle, there will be those - the stubborn 'deviant' minority - who see beyond short term financial gains to build lasting legacies that will sustain economic progress. The Nigerian market is no different.

Again, if the underlying conditions continue to be favorable, portfolio investors cannot all pull out their funds at same time, as that is against rational behaviour.

The wolf-crying in this article is exaggerated.

Acidosis:
Meanwhile, the last time anyone died from a snake bite in the UK was 1975. The report online is that Nanyah was rejected by two hospitals. And nope, she wasn't rushed there. She drove herself to the hospital.


Poor leadership is costly.

Your analogy doesn't make sense. The entire UK has only one venomous specie of snake - and that is the Adder. So the probability of experiencing a fatal bite is extremely low.

Why don't you compare with the US which has tons of lethal snakes. In India, thousands of people die every year from snake bites.

Stop propagandizing the death of this promising but unfortunate young lady.

What is clear is that Government needs to subsidize anti-venom for our hospitals and health centres to boost availability. The near neglect is unacceptable.

RIP Nanya.

Ansu Fati

This one no be kidnapping joor. The guy was scared and decided to bolt away and the officer insisted on entering the car and they carried him dey go where he no know lol.

I know many people in Lagos that have "kidnapped" Lastma officials who have tried to impound their vehicle by forcing themselves in and then dropped them somewhere far away.

The guy's real crime was overstaying his visa and resisting arrest. Not kidnapping. After all they still took the officer to the police station.

Messi took Argentina from the jaws of World cup elimination against S.Arabia and Mexico to winning the World cup.

He joined the worst team in the MLS 2 years ago and has again taken them to become MLS champions for the first time in their entire history.

That's influence, impact and growth, by the GOAT.

Almiron:
Geez! Crazy freezing cold atm!!, kids are being problematic but doing well. Sleep is a luxury lately 😊.

I hope they don't bottle this again cos I have zero confidence in that team, Messi can't do everything alone. I hope they give their best and win this and we gonna win the world cup next year, 9th Balloon D'or in the bag.

How's your doing my bro?

Lol @ kids being problematic. Pele, I dey battle my own here too

Don't think Miami will bottle it this time around though. In fact I dey suspect Miami will hand out a big lesson like a 4-1 in that match just like they've been doing throughout the ko rounds.

Good to hear from you again bro.

The Goat just added another trophy to his record collection. 47 and counting. We will now use Finallisima, MLS cup and World cup to round am up to 50!

What Messi is achieving with this Inter Miami team is simply outstanding. This is a team with no assembled heavyweights. The friends of Messi there are old and all retiring by end of this season.

So for Messi to carry a baggage of the old and feeble plus the young and inexperienced to multiple trophies the club has never won before in its entire existence is an incredible feat and that is why he is the greatest player of all time. Mr do and talk after.

Congratulations to him for achieving 405 assists, the highest ever in football history. That Puskas had 404 assists is even still a doubted statistic as some sources put it at 359 or so. Any way, the Goat has eclipsed all of that.

@ Almiron, how's Canada bro. Make una tell ur Vancouver boys to stand down o. GOAT must carry that cup

NairalandAngel:
There is no fintech company in Nigeria that processes transactions of up to $40billion in 1 year in Nigeria, even if there were such a company would never put controls in the hands of a 22 year old!

Read the piece well, the 40billion USD refers to the total funds processed by the Indian investor globally every year. The portion processed by the newly formed Nigerian subsidiary headed by Nwankwo is not disclosed. The 40billion was just mentioned for PR purpose.
