How are you doing my bro

I'm good @Chief slayer of Pendulums. Keep up the great work and more razor to your sword

This pretender just can't get out of Messi's behind. Obviously his footballing abilities may have faded but his blabbering skills remain top-notch.

Blud was so pained by Goat's record breaking unveiling at Inter Miami last night that he had to play party-spoiler.

Pendu, it wasnt you bringing in all those players to the Emirates, it was Saudi's billions as bait and you as a catch......along with the others.

The GOAT was offered more than twice of the camel wrestler's package, but turned it down because the Messi brand is beyond money.

China has gone this route before, Saudi is doing same. Nothing pioneering about that. At the end of the day, MLS is still ranked leagues above the Saudi league.

And for the diss at European football, it's not surprising after his beg-a-thon to several European clubs to rescue him from oblivion. Sacrificed his long time agent and ally Jorge Mendes because of bruised ego.

Messi meanwhile voluntarily chose Miami after rejecting strong European interest.

Numerouno94 thanks for the tag bro.

The ball sits on top of the lower tier of a 2-tiered table.

See that one called TiJesunimi.....an utter disgrace to that name ...Tufiakwa!

Benwallt:
You are quick to throw brute words around without getting to know the fact. The person I quoted opined that the girl is too young. I tried to counter him but left out a question mark after the the word "young" in the one you quote.

We can relate without embellished insult. I won't blame you much for I know if the question mark was present you would have gotten the message clearer.

Verdict: the girl is an adult and firmly in control of her mental faculties

Oh meaning I quoted the wrong comment. Apologies bro, though it's due to the way your first sentence read. We are actually aligned. Ive modified my comment.

N.B: I didnt insult you or the intended recipient. The last part of my comment was an advisory and not a conclusion. Cheers

@ IconicR, Are you aware that there are 5 year old kids that would give the devil a run for its money in lying with composure, ingenuity and a straight face even when under threat of punishment?

At 19, I was in 400 level in a top Federal Uni despite strikes and all. Imagine someone thinking I am incapable of forgery/misdemeanor at that age...

Don't be a gullible person o.

Lol, it's the mockery of giving out an Elon Musk product to celebrate the growth of his rival platform.

It's like rubbing a Tesla into Twitter's wound

SmartPolician:
There's a reason people who studied psychology are good at fighting crimes.

https://www.criminaljusticedegreeschools.com/degrees/criminology-degree/#:~:text=Criminology%20Degree%20Training%20and%20Courses&text=Students%20should%20be%20interested%20in,helping%20professionals%20investigate%20crime%20scenes.

Do you know the reason?

They understand how the human minds work and that everything about crime is intent.
Intent is the major factor used to stop and catch criminals.

For instance, why do people steal? Simple, they steal because they want to make money and live a life in the fast lane. Snatch people's valuables, sell them and make money.

Consequently, the law tells you that anyone who buys stolen items will get almost the same punishment as the thief, sometimes, same or worse punishment. This is a way you stop a crime because you understand the intent. In other words, a thief has no reason to steal people's valuables if he cannot sell them.

Back to that girl, you can tell me that the girl scored 150, was too ashamed of her score, and upgraded it to 250 just to impress her parents. Guess what, this is logical.

However, if you tell me that the girl faked her own result, went to Anambra State Government to protest that JAMB didn't recognise as the best candidate, omo, I really need to check your IQ level.

By the way, I have made my point abundantly clear and won't reply you again.

While I wouldnt take anything away from your thesis up there about motive and all that, it seems you overrate the girl's experience and ability to cover all the loopholes.

Have you considered that the girl most likely did not expect the Anambra Education board to reach out to JAMB to confirm her scores. She had probably hoped that the print-out was sufficient to fool them.

Stop assuming that she was thinking with the same experienced logic of yours. Heck, at 19 you probably weren't as reasonable as you are now.

Like Sherlock Holmes once said, when you have eliminated all options that are factually impossible, what is left, no matter how incredible, is the truth. And JAMB has been able to demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt that what Mmesoma is parading did not originate from them or their portal, then surely it cannot be the girl's foolishness that will serve as defence against her criminality.

Impressive!

As much as no one should take espn serious ,why xavi no go Dey 10th when fellow culers only know how to talk down on him ,dude should be 5th at least

Even trophyless coaches are rated ahead of xavi here

Smh

Lol why wouldnt you take ESPN serious. I've been following them since the Old Onion bag days with the funny Tommy Smith over 2 decades plus ago. They sure know their onions.

Arda Güler chose money over other aspects in his decision. His family will earn €20m in commissions.

— @mas_que_pelotas

We'll see how it works out for him..

He may now downgrade to the Turkish Asensio..

E pain me small sha. This BarTebas-induced financial austerity wreck Barca no be small. Imagine Messi, Bernardo, Cancelo, Guler, Kimmich could all already have joined by now.

Exactly. In the law that was signed by Buhari on 28 May, the 5% telecomms excise tax was still in there. So this means the much publicized exemption did not come into effect.

This executive order has now given effect to it. Whether till 1 September or further notice, that is a matter of legal interpretation.

COMPAQ:
I might have kept the one on telecoms though. Mtn Nigeria is making mad profits. I assume Airtel is as well. Less certain about Glo and 9Mobile. I hear Glo is in a bit of a mess.

You are right. Telecomms have been making a killing since Covid era and wouldnt really be stressed out from this levy. However, knowing they'd likely still pass on the additional cost burden to Nigerians, it's better to suspend the levy.

Nbote:
This govt is already proving to be professionals at propaganda and selling Nigerians Lies upon lies Lol.. They are announcing suspending the Telecoms Excise tax in the meantime to reintroduce it in September but the irony is that the previous govt already exempted Telecoms from the tax. A govt that has imposed 7.5 VAT percent tax, increased electricity tariffs, removed subsidies on Education, Petrol and Electricity announcing this suspension now but the real intention is to bring it back in September lol

Nah you are not updated on this. The Finance Act which Buhari signed on 28th May 2023 reintroduced the 5% excise tax on telecommunication services and is already in force as at today.

It is that Finance Act that has now been deferred to 1 September 2023, so the telecommunications excise tax too is either deferred till then or suspended outright depending on legal interpretation.

3RNEST:
Exactly my point, see as Dem attacked my post

Its because of the confident way you presented your ignorance. Imagine someone told you Asake made P Square popular. Na the same way you yourself go yab the person they are yabbing you now😁

3RNEST:
Rema did change her life, who know her before? Featuring her is a big win for her..

Lol, Selena Gomez that's been a global superstar since 2014 thereabout? Maybe what she meant was that she's gained renewed popularity from jumping on the afrobeats wave with Rema.

I didnt expect this level of humility from her to be honest cos the usual mode is for American pop stars to underrate their African counterparts. Big ups to her.

For the first time ever in the history of Spanish professional sports
Every one of our sports first teams are league champions in the same season
✅ League champions in men’s football
✅ League champions in women’s football
✅ League champions in basketball
✅ League champions in handball
✅ League champions in hockey
✅ Futsal league champions

SIMPLY THE BEST 💙❤️ #Copied

Laporta Szn 🔥🔥

The empire is growing. Spanish sports now colonized into Barcelona Sports Federation

On a serious note, there's probably a beneficial synergy strategy at the center that the various Barca teams are leveraging on as I dont believe in this level of coincidence that is rarer than Hailey's comet.

OJEEMAH:
Feliz cumpleaños, rey Leo

OJ He gives me pure joy watching him.

Happy Birthday to the GOAT Leo Messi!!

The IDAN of all footballers past, present and future.

Supreme magician, wizard, magistrate, goalscorer,assister, playmaker, dribbler, long shooter, free kicker, golazo master all rolled into one.

The only active player with more trophies than his age.

Enhorabona Leo!

WesternPanzer:
Most of you making responses on this thread are very stupid and don't really understand how life functions.

You call them illegal immigrants because you are not in their story. You don't know the wars these guys fight everyday.

Was life fair to them and they decided to enter the ocean daring the consequences? Do you think they don't know what the challenges are before embarking on such mission?

The irony of it is that the life and destiny of these guys may have been stolen and damaged by the actions of these rich lost people. I don't want to call them fools.

If you know how a capitalist world functions, you will understand why so many people remain poor no matter the effort they put in.

Most of you poor black folks don't know you are poor because these so called Rich Guys have rigged the system to make sure you always remain poor.

These so called Rich guys were willing to pay 250,000 dollars each to go and see a ship lost 100 years ago but will never spend a dime to help the poor.

Whoever you are reading this, pray that you are not in any situation whereby the only hope for you is to travel deserts and try to cross by an Ocean.

Just thank God for your privileged life and don't say shit about hustlers who are just looking to survive.

Who told you those rich guys are not spending on the poor. Do you know how many people they employ and create a livelihood for? Do you know the amount of donations they make to charities and NGOs catering to the poor? So because there are poor people, the rich dont deserve people to look after them?

Are you aware that there are good rich people?

I couldn't even tell you who won Copa last year or any random year but I can name all UCL winners going back to 1993 and all Prem winners in that time period and probably 70% of LaLiga and Serie A winners

Without Google, I bet you can't tell me who won Italian Cup in 2017.

Rest with your Copa del Alcorcorn agenda.

There's a reason why, in the top leagues, the first level successful trophy sweep is called a Treble. Three trophies. No be me talk am. If you win treble, you've had a really special season.

Other secondary achievements are then called sextuple, quadri, deci whatever

Ibime:

Rest with your Copa del Alcorcorn agenda.

Well I can name at least 70% of CDR winners since 2005 and FA cup winners since 1998. Doesnt make them any less of a major trophy.

Let me educate you. No one is saying CDR is as important as UCL but it is still significant enough to be targeted and celebrated by top clubs as a major trophy.

UCL sef get Oga. I know every single WCup winner since 1930. Meanwhile I only know all UCL winners offhand from 1992. Copa America winner from 1997 does that make Copa not a major trophy relative to World cup?

Rest and stop failed agenda bro. Pep's Barca will beat Zizou's Madrid blue black, that's the summary of my point.

Ibime:
Your wahala, if you like count Community shield join

For the record, 2.5 years matters because Zidane resigned before contesting the third CWC and European Super Cup he qualified them for. It's not by counting trophies which are foregone conclusions. Omo Community shield

Failed attempt. Your subjective non-factual opinion doesn't count.

Major trophies are the stand alone trophies club's target at beginning of season. They carry weight, go and ask Vinicius. Go and ask Cristiano whether he doesnt regard the CDR he won in 2011 or Bale about the 2014 one.

Associated trophies are the jaras clubs get to chase by reason of winning major trophies. That's the group the community shields, supercups and the CWCs belong to. Difference dey, no dey use ogboju to drive failed agenda.

In 2.5 years, Pep won more major trophies than Zizou. Shikena.

Ibime:
No one cares about your Copa del Rey

You tried to commit fraud by assigning 4 years to Zidanes 3peat team instead of 2.5 years and you've been rumbled

Lol Madrid obviously cares about winning a Copa Del Rey. Or what was the noise they were making last month about? Between you and Vinicius who should we believe about what matters to Madrid?

Whether 2.5 or 3 years, Pep's Barca still trumps him over that same time span. And if they met each other, Pep's Barca would chew that 3peat team inside out over and over again and have them scurrying off tail between legs.

Ibime:
It was not the same span. Zidane did 2.5 years only, January 2016 to May 2018

The 2016 league was already lost by the time he was appointed

Therefore Zidane did 1 LaLiga in 2 available and 3 UCL in 3 available, which is 4/5 or 80% of the major trophies available.

Being clever by half right? Major trophies for the season are the UCL, the league and the local cup. Are you saying the FA cup/CDR is not a major trophy or isnt that what Madrid was doing alariwo bus parade for all over the city last month?

Using your logic, in 3 years, Guardiola won 2 UCL, 3 la Liga and 2 CDR which is 7/9 or 78% key trophy wins.

In 3 years, Zizou won 3 UCL and 1 la liga and Zero CDR equating to 4/9 or 44% key trophy wins.

Even if we allocate a weight of 2 league titles as equal to Zizou's extra single UCL (which is very generous by the way), Zizou will still be at 5/9 or 5/8 which is still way below Pep's 78% rate.

The difference could not be clearer. No matter which way you spin it, Guardiola's Barca had a more successful spell than Zidane's pound for pound. He also added the ingenuity and luxury of providing the most beautiful mesmeric football style ever seen to go along with it. Talk about winning with class. Achieving both ain't for all and sundry.

Android17:
And as for the controversy crowd, 1 of Inter's 3 goals in their 3-1 win of Barcelona was offside. Then Bojan Krkic scored a neat goal that would have made the 2nd leg 2-0 with Barca going through and most likely beating Bayern FC in the final.

The 1-0 loss to RM in the CDL also came with controversy as Pedro had scored first during regular time what was deemed offside. Replays would show he was not. That could have meant that team won 2 sextuples as they won the other 5 trophies on offer.

Nobody would advocate for Barca after being robbed vs Madrid in that CDR final. Inter qualified through the skin of their teeth. That Barca team was expected to.sweep away any team before them then. They were that good.

3 peat team that didnt even know they were going to.win a 3 peat. Only in 2016/17 were they heads and shoulders above the other teams.

I consider City 2023, Bayern 2020 and Madrid 98 - 2001 as better than the 3 peat team.

Melvyn11:
So kindly tell us how Pep Barca performed better than Zidane threepeat Madrid? That's the question none of the Barca fans have answered without descending to incoherent ramblings. We saw the same Pep Barca choking against numerous teams in the champions league but Madrid great versions won't be able to go toe to toe with them . You Barca fans live in your own self delusions

In 4 years, the major trophies won by Pep were:

2 UCLs
3 La liga
3 Copa del Rey

In the same span, Zizou won 3 UCLs, 1 la liga and 0 CDR - a meagre half of Pep's key trophies haul.

Pep's team was obviously more successful overall. If you see that as incoherent, then the delusions are all yours.

The key indicator to which team was better regarded is that Barca's miss out on 2010 UCL and a three peat was looked at as an anomaly/upset while Madrid's three peat was mostly a surprise for many.

Lol Classic case of cutting their nose to spite their face.
