do you know who's bello osagie? Although he now looks like Hausa because of Nigeria quota system, he among the richest men in Africa

Hello na portfolio business man.

botahj:
..

Lol.. I very well know who Hakeem is from his acquisition of UBA as a young man during the IBB administration which had to be ratified by the powers that be then down to his dad who was a physician during the military era. His last big business venture was Etisalat which has been acquired by 9mobile after mountainous debts almost ran it under.

Hakeem isn't as wealthy again Monsieur as you think. Same way the igbinedion family isn't as wealthy as Captain Hosa despite working for him in the past. Listing his business interest here would amaze you.

Gracias.

I think Hakeem belongs to the class of jimoh Ibrahim and otedolla. Business who use their profile to gather loans, purposely run a company aground to default on payment, Doctor figures to suit them and bush the weight to the ill conceived AMCON, while claiming bankrupt.

He is a creative thinker, also owns jabi lake mall in Abuja, but of my study on him, none of the businesses he has put a hand on survives the first 5 years.

PoliticalWitch:
NB: This is the first good football match I have watched in a while. Have been very busy recently

Well

1.Nigeria needs to go on the offensive more. Seems like we don't have a strong offence.

2.Brazil too, they aren't very very convincing. (,Maybe Neymar going off early added to that).

Correction to 1) we have a strong offense, but Rohr's tactics can't harness.

LabDNA:
What the hell is going on with Onuachu these days?

He can't seem keep the ball with him for a good period.

The team generally needs to work on their cohesion. When a team mate is with the ball and under pressure, go close and provide him with options.

Seriously, I don't know why Onauchu is finding it hard to blend with the Eagles. Though, one should note that Rohr is too defensively minded for a team like the Eagles that have players with attacking flair. Onauchu is among our best strikers in Europe for some years now. He has been scoring consistently or would I say the formation/tactics being deployed by Rohr doesn't suit him? Even at that, there are some level of individual brilliance a player shows and you know, yes, he has something in there. But when in the Eagles he goes like an amateur.

As long as my AC Milan is not there, that's a trash list.

Many of those punters have left the thread

Better stated; many of those punters have quit betting. The esarlier you realize betting is not a sure source of income, the better for you.

gaetano:
If i catch that person that is collecting money from Paul Onuachu to make sure he continues to get a place in the SE, e go be for am. Abi Paul hold the coach nude ni?

You guys should stop attacking that guy. He is one of the best Eagles performers in Europe for the past 5 years. Yes you heard it. 5 years. Rohr's tactics didn't suit him Doesn't mean he is bad.

This mess has to stop. Why should a footballer, representing a nation be refused visa. Are their authorities not aware that an international game is taking place?

Juve hasn't had competition since they came up from serial B.The last team to win seria A before them was AC Milan.Napoli are the only people to give them competition in the past how many years and Napoli themselves are the Tottenham of Italy.Shows you the overall decline in quality of the league

Juve's lack of competition in the league gives them the luxury to compete in Europe and even at that they have completely struggled when it mattered the most

Italian players at Juve right now are the backline as you rightly mentioned are mainly down to experience than capability.Buffon being there as an Italian player is not because he's adding anything to the team in terms of squad improvement on the field but giving them that psychological boost off the field.Juve will not win the champions league with Chiellini and Bonucci as centre backs against a pacy side like Liverpool.The current team right now has only the two CBs I mentioned in their starting 11 and once De Ligt improves,one of them must go.Its a shame that the only outfield Italian player they have in bernandeschi is bang average and its not even first team.Other players they have are not products of modern football

So out of all Italian players,you are mentioning Mario and Verratti?? Well Balotteli is Balotteli and Veratti is playing in the worst league in the top 5 leagues with a PSG side that we all know their story in Europe.Nothing fancy to see here.bernandeschi that plays for Juve is not even a world class material and only looks good because of the team he is in.He doesn't score often and doesn't impact the game as Dybala does.

I follow Italian football and Immobile that has been blazing the league for a couple of seasons was an utter flop outside Italy and only ran back to Lazio after highlighting the problems of Italian players.Dude was also shooting blank for Italy and only got his goal for the national team in the last international break after most months of not scoring


Now in terms of Italian coaches,Ancelotti is the only Italian coach that has held it down for Italy in recent years and he's not even a product of modern day italian football.If Allegri and Conte were so fantastic, why did they leave their previous jobs?? Allegri doesn't get a pass just because he wins a league where Atlanta that have been abysmal in the champions league made it into the competition in the first place.

Now AC Milan are talking about Spaletti who is equally bad.Icardi bailed him countless times.Now the option is between a Sevilla reject and Inter reject.How can the club and Italian football in general progress if a top team like AC are choosing between this two failures who is to pilot the affairs of the team.smh

pardon my errors in the last post. My tab went off before I could make corrections.

How many competitors are in Germany? Would you call Dortmund? And in Spain aside Madrid and Barca, the closest we have is athletic who falters also. Milan and inter have been facing financial dip, alongside Italy as a nation and its taking a toll on their league. We've had former players like Maldini and totti complain about this. How much is the Napoli squad worth compared to wolves, athletico Madrid, Southampton? But they were able to hold their own against Liverpool and PSG. They only lost once in the group stage of the champions league and they've repeated the feat again this year.

We tend to get so carried away by the glamour of the premier league and think the best football is played there. But with the amount of money they spend year in, year out, for the last 10 years, how many champions league have they won? We see the results in Europe when they come up against clubs from the so called garbage leagues as you put it, and they struggle against them. The worst is at the Europa league where the financial gap between premier league clubs and the rest in Europe is so deep but most times, except for the top five teams that fall into the Europa league, the rest get their ass whooped by clubs from Portugal, France, Austria e.t.c and what have you. They had an exceptional season last year.

That there are clubs of equal financial strength gunning for the league as in England, doesn't mean that qualitative football is not played in other climes. If not, the English clubs would not be buying from there. We have seen players signed form French league 2, like Raphael varane, mahrez, Ngolo Kante e.t.c who became a hit the next season they joined the premier league. Ajax knocked out Madrid and juve but lost to Tottenham, I'm very sure Tottenham wouldn't have been able to survive any of the two. Would we then say the Dutch league supercedes the Spanish and Italian league due to an exciting and unexpected performance from the Ajax team?

Talking about competitiveness, it's not like juve walks over their opponents. Against the likes of Roma, inter and Napoli, they have struggled to win convincingly, against Man city that walked over the remaining four of the premier league top 5. Barca's toughest test comes from Real Madrid in competition. I can't remember when last athletico won them in the league.

I think you're being selective in your judgement. If you're judging juve, what would you say about Bayern?

Bernandeschi is a player with blooming promise. It's more of the reason I don't like allegris' coaching approach, he has an orthodox approach and skillful, pacy players like bernandeschi are relegated to the back drop. You can from tell his preference for cuadrado against an enterprising Douglas Costa.

Why did they leave their former job? Why did mourinho, klopp, guardiola leave their former job. Demand is dynamic and not static. Conte won the league in his first year. Klopp and guardiola are there because of the faith reposed on them. Do you remember Klopps first season was off the mark also. In 3 years see what he has done. Would Chelsea have that patience on him?

Spalleti won the league with zenit in Russia and I rate him above ranieri.

Yes I agree. Milan have made a wrong choice in going for pioli. What was the best league finish the current Barca coach had with Bilbao before he was coasted in. Guardiola was promoted from team B. Lampard came from championship. Mourinho was also given a chance from nothing.

Mourinho won the league and champions league with a not too fantastic inter side. He came in, did little polishing and managed what he had, inspiring his side to glory. Same with Ferguson who didn't depend much on big names. Crutrone was doing well under Gattuso, his current replacement, Rafael leao, is fantastic. It takes time to build a team......BUT UNDER THE RIGHT BOARD MANAGEMENT. Which Milan is lacking.

Adiwana:
Italy has been garbage for years now.Jorginho is the only decent export they have had for years now. Their exports have continued to decline and underperform.

Italian coaches have been bad also. When last did an Italian coach win the UCL?? AC Milan is about appointing a Sevilla failure that has no track record of winning anything.How do you win as AC Milan with a coach that hasn't won anything tangible before. What sort of winning mentality does he instill in a club that wins if he hasn't won yet

Chelsea only has 1 Italian. How many are at Liverpool,Madrid,Barcelona,Man City??Juve the defending champions of Italy has how many Italian players?? You can't claim Italian players are doing so well if they are not at top level clubs.

The problem with AC Milan is not management at the Coach level but at the top level of football.And that top level managers are not ready to stir the ship in a different direction.No philosophy,no direction of play..No Witt like AC Milan of old. Below average players like Suso and Chanalogu making first team.Chanalogu and Chiesa of Fiorentina had more shots to miss ratio all over the top 5 leagues of Europe.1 plays for AC Milan, the other is an Italian player. Shows you how bad Italian football is

You can't promote a rubbish player like Cutrone and hand that player over to a coach like Ancelloti and complain of poor management.But that same Cutrone was a regular starter for AC Milan until he was shipped off.

They need to go back to basics.Bring in a foreign coach.Do away with anything Italy and build up from there.Look deep into Brazilian kids. They have good relationship with Brazilian players. Appoint a sporting director from Brazil.Mix them with hot Netherlands,spanish and Germany players and this team will be competing for the serie A title in at least 5 years time

I do agree to an extent that the standar of football has fallen in Italy. But juventus have been top contender in the champions league, the past decade. Making it into the semi finals/quarters in those occasions. Only the Spanish and English clubs have bettered that. The German clubs themselves are mostly represented by Bayern.

Saying Italian coaches are trash is one I wouldn't agree with, no coach is perfect no they all have their downtime curve. It takes faith and belief to see a coach being given the confidence in continuity by the board. We've seen how sacking/changing coaches have affected the likes Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern, Barca e.t.c ancelloti, conte, Allegri, are among the top 15 best coaches in the world right now at club level and any top club looking for a new coach across the major legume in Europe wouldn't take their eyes off them. I we look at the top coaches across Europe, they would make a mix of coaches from different nations which include, Dutch, Spanish, German, Portugal, Brazil, France e..t.c and I doubt if any nation would produce four elites as Italy in the coaching line.

Milans decision to go with pioli is one no true an is happy about, given the fiasco that ensued over the 1st choice (Luciano Spalleti), I think the club had to rush over this decision but it's still not convincing. Across the Italian league today, there are so many players who had come through the Milan academy and are starters for other clubs and putting in good performance. The club abandoned bringing in olayers rom their youth team to salvage a dip in form that was seriously affecting them, as we all know, it takes time for these olayers to gel.

Italian players are performing well. How many German players are playing for top teams outside Germany? The defensive back line of Juve barring one is made up Italians, bernandeschi is a fantastic attacking player at Juve for his age. Juve has close to 10 Italian players in that team. Balotelli was fantastic or Marseille last season, just his character made top clubs put their eyes away from him, veratti is producing a commanding performance for PSG. The French league is not rated among the elite in Europe but they have players across every top team in the elite across Europe. But how many champions league have a franch team won? They produce the players but their league is not rated. Also note that finance has a lot to do with this.

Adiwana:
Problem is the board and their infatuation with Italian based coaches and players

Rebuild the team and do what Liverpool and Ajax did.Forget about title or champions league football and get foreign coaches either from Spain or Netherlands.Bring in players from those two countries and do away with useless players like Suso,Changlogu etc.Bring in young bloods,do away with italian players and coaches.Allow the manager to implement their ideas backed by AC Milan philosophies and get this team comepting in 4 years time

There are so many Italian players doing so well in the league and Europe. The players you mentioned are not Italians. Italian coaches are good too. It's a factor of the individual not nationality. How many spaniards have coached Real Madrid? I think the management are the problem the team is facing. I wonder why Maldini, who was making much noise when not in the frame of things, will go with this blunder of coaching decision.

Afonja Rahman,take the Igbos out and akwa ibom returns to the stone age,and that includes your brown roof republic that isnt far from the stone age.

Take away onitsha and Enugu that were made through FG impact and planning, which other town in your entire Igbo land is not Stone Age.

In the second, the influx of Igbo's into Akwa Ibom started during Goodswill Akapbio's tenure - the oil boom era. Virtually 90% of them that constitute the population in Akwa Ibom, came in droves during that era, why didn't they come before then?

Come to Uyo, they are beginning to go back as competition is getting steep.

Quit your hate and develop your ARROGANT IGBO mindset that kills you all.

You want to compare Portugal to England

Not premiership, championship. And note : I made no comparison.

A slim number of players have made it to top performers from the championship. A very slim number.

Looks like the polymer version.

Those opening thread after thread to deny the undeniable are doing so out of ignorance ..
They k ow the truth ..but choose to cornerside it ..
But it change nothing.. will denying this fact uproot the communities from the state? Or right their claim..

Igbos are indegenous to AKWAIBOM and nothin can and will change..maybe the Advent of Biafra..but till then..

They are not indigenous to Akwa Ibom, the indigenous we should be talking about here should lie on the transformed Igbo's and ibibios who are occupying Arochukwu which is an indigenous Ibibio land.

These guys you are hampering on are a small community who had trespassed on people's land and refused to leave, they had to be carved in to the state as they had no place to go. They are occupying Ibibio land and it was fair not to turn them to displaced people. If not, the land would have fallen under Abia territory.

That's why people have problem with the Igbo's, they come and trade and buy land before you know it, the land has become an extension of their ancestry.

beejay501:
Lol Etebo played 37 games for stoke last season.
Go back to Portugal to do what ?

From the bench....check his minutes average. The championship is not good for horning skillful players. He is being reduced to a defensive apparatus. I follow their game week in week out. This season, he plays full one match, the next he's off. He shouldn't be in the championship, I guess the money lured him then. Most skillful players have a problem playing at championship level and they fizzle out. Even gnabry was forced out.

When I read the news on his move to stoke prior to the World Cup, I was shocked at the move and wondered who his agent was. That club is drowning in the championship and he is seeing less game time. I hope he returns to Portugal and redirects.

Simply say it's detached. Which means the house is on its own. Or, you put a comma before the self compound.
