Stupid unnecessary yellow from Palmer

Jodera:
When you do something at an extraordinary levels, you'll be judged/favoured differently. It's facts. Ronaldo was scoring goals at an incredulous rate and he was scoring all manners. At that point, he'll be solely favoured with goals and assist

Use the same argument for Messi vs Ronaldo and you'll see exactly what I mean

Jodera:
He's not underrated. While it's agreeable he have similar (or better) stats than CR7, but at that game 210, CR7 was already giving Balon dor and world best vibes. CR7 was already quaking people's feet before dey even enter pitch. These are things just Goals/assists won't tell you.

What Saka did at such a young age is very admirable tho

How ironic that this is now being used in favor of C.Ronaldo

Dishonesty in these sort of conversations is exactly why both parties would always look at the other party with tribal suspicions

Facts are facts and clear as day, numbers do not lie. Twisting things will only embrace more dishonest people to your circle; a tribal downward vicious cycle.

Its the same reason why economic issues cannot be debated with the truth it deserves without invoking some sort of political or tribal agenda.

A piece of advise for the young-ins in here, Make the best of what you can with your life and the opportunities you are presented and do not involve yourself in all of these tribal innuendos. Unfortunately as it may seem, it'll still be there, when you are long gone.

Some governors using over 10% of state budget to run governors office

And na from the FAAC allocation

Even that Makinde all media hype

They use it to mop up the scarce dollar available.

And at exorbitant rates. Read somewhere that there's a lot of swing in the rates as soon as FAAC is disbursed

No questions asked of them cos people are largely focused on the FG

Amigoss:
Exactly, And the weather was bad lamba he is narrating,is he a Meteorologists or knows more than the pilot?

A PA telling his Nigerian boss - Not just any boss, but A bank CEO that he'll rather not go with him via his selected means is very very unlikely to me.

I sincerely dont think he'll even have the guts to mention it.

Ref didnt even wait a bit...smh

raumdeuter:
Our starting lineup was faulty and we allowed too much pressure on us

Its painful sha. We should have just played Congo

CIV has been the better team in this game but Naija may still do something.

Be like Amokachi dey cry-talk

Iwobi is playing lost and CIV is having a lot of momentum

Im not convinced with this Calvin guy

Sorry guys, was that Drogba's wife?

She looks disinterested and just following his lead

CIV has come from behind before so I'm a bit worried

Amokachi is my biggest problem honestly

Kimbeast:
The only reason why tuchel is looking worst Is because Bayern Leverkusen are having an incredible season. Tuchel Bayern are currently at 50points after 21games with a worst team.

Pep at Bayern after 21matches 2013/2014 with a treble winning team: 59points

2014/2015 season after 21games: 52points

2015/2016 season: 56points.

True this.

Which is why I think its unsustainable, they're due a bad patch sooner than later, then all the media circus, it's only a matter of time

oliverano:
He's not doing well with the eye test. His last stint at Chelsea was not good enough and rightly got him sacked..

He's currently playing disjointed football and Bayern fans can't wait to see his back.

Stats may be good but he's currently not doing well chief.

Fair enough since I dont religiously follow them

oliverano:
There's no recency bias, Tuchel, like Mourinho used to be great but not anymore. That's not too hard to see.

Tuchel was out of his dept in his last season here and was rightly axed. But you don't sack a coach like Tuchel and appoint a nobody like Potter. That was the mistake Chelsea made.

May be it's just me but what I can deduce from your write up is that you're just slightly echoing what afrodk said. He used to rate him(Tuchel) but not anymore.

Tuchel is currently inept. He'll be sacked soon if results don't improve!

Like I said. The attached doesnt agree with the bolded.

raumdeuter:
How did he play with Chelsea in the 2021/22 season when he finished 19 points behind the winner or when he got sacked the following season. Do you consider those runs as good seasons

With the way he gets owned regularly after that January to May 2021 shows that was the only exception in his career. Others have been mid

Yesterday Hradecky barely had a save to make. Our xG was about 0.3

Us Chelsea fans know the circumstances around this which we are still dealing with till this day.

Yeah, I agree with you that yesterday was a poor showing especially with how late the sub happened but it wasnt that bad prior to the first goal they scored

afrodoc2:
So after accusing me of recency bias you went ahead to say he now plays with fear. 👍

You said he's just a "good" manager which is what I dont agree with.

I dont follow Bayern or their games, so I may have been wrong with the current realities but benchmarking against their past 15 seasons, I thought the whole thing may have been exaggerated

afrodoc2:
True but that PSG team was loaded and had just been underperforming and the Chelsea UCL run wasn’t your typical attacking or dominant run.

The Chelsea team did not play the attractive football his Dortmund team played, which was what made me like him.

He is a good manager, just not what I thought he was.

A lot of recency bias here. No revisionism can take away how elite he was/is especially on the tactical side

And I'll say this as someone who's watched TT extensively - Except of course with Bayern; which by the way his performance is still in line or even better than the averages of their past 15 seasons

However, I still think the PSG & Chelsea experience did a number on him - He sort of plays with fear now. I saw it with Sarri too

@raumdeuter, I would put my money on Leverkusen bottling it. I watched the replays, That first cheap goal changed things

No one or team should be that consistent with luck - I only saw it once with Leceister and that was a one in a million season

Amigoss:
What if Na isese worshipper and he get telepathic communications with awon Iya oshoronga who advised him against it..

Seriously,e fit be say Oga say make he use road and not fly with them but he no want talk Ill of the dead at this moment,only logical explanation to this...

A more likely scenario than him telling his boss his preference on a work trip

Nerd dump

Origins of white LEDs

Brilliant one.

The real importance of a technician where a large focus is usually on the engineers

Ibunkun1:
Nkunku, Sterling, Chilwell?

Excuse me?.

I dont know what you guys see but I dont think any footballer in this world has a lower football IQ than Chilwell.

swiz123:
Jorginho is the exact definition of positional discipline.

I miss how much he used to remind me of this every time I watched him.

Knows/Goes where the ball should be

monerozi5590:
We all want an economist to handle CBN. Patience Oniha the DMO boss is a proper economist. A first class graduate not this Cardoso of a man abeg.

Na.

Someone from the private sector and with at least a Phd in it

OasisX:
📌📌📌

Free for all where regulations arent been followed.

Its another reason for the dollar circus. I need a proper economist in that CBN job

raumdeuter:
The part about straight male or straight female. That's the major issue I have with it. It will easily get him in trouble in anywhere in the West

Very silly on his part. Maybe he's also caught onto the social media frenzy and forgotten how things are irl.

All he had to do was include it as a drop down in the application link and filter them out based on his preference(s). But no, he had to be explicit

Keeper could have done better there

Itsrm:
So how much is it now

You mean the banks sold all the billions they are hoarding and this is still the exchange rate?

Again, CBN should not go and address real issues. They should continue playing.

It's called Net open position in banking.

To be fair I dont think the banks have sold. That much liquidity and volume most likely would have a significant impact.

Except of course, the banks aren't distributing to the economy or are selling to themselves or some sort of concentrated parties

OasisX:


.....imagine businesses in Nigeria charging in Dollars?! And we expect Naira to be stable and strong?!

I thought there is/was a regulation against pricing in dollars in Nigeria?

OasisX:


.....BDC sef don dey fold. Cardoso ain't Meffy.

Dont hold your breadth.

All of these are just stop gaps for the short term. There still needs to be a long term strategy in play

raumdeuter:
Its really brutal. Many guys who were hired as remote workers are told to move to an office or resign, IBM just released their RTO this week. You return to office doesnt even guarantee your job

Say you WFH from Atlanta, IBM is in Austin, So do you fly back and forth maintaining 2 households or relocate your entire family. You relocate your family means your wife either finds a job or becomes Stay at Home. then what happens in 1yr down the line the company says they are not making enough profit and lay you off?

And all those upskilling how much can you really do when 22yr old leetcode monkeys are graduating in bulk, Outsourcing Yapa and with AI.
If we are seeing the impact of AI 1.0 imagine in 10yrs time what will be AI version 7.0? Maybe we will all be jobless

As I dey na prayer to retire early dey my mind now. I wan hang boot by the time I touch 50. I no fit dey keep up with all these jagbajantis. You learn ML 2yrs ago now them dey dry up, so today na to enter cyber. You never learn one thing finish another one don comot. Plus someone telling me to relocate to another city at this point. With sleepless nights of worry over whether you wont be able to login or na layoff email await you in the morning. Na retirement sure pass

Ibime, realistically how much do you need to have in investment accounts 401k plus Trading accounts to live a comfortable life for another 30yrs

There are some really good robo advisors that could help with this since you're mostly going to be passive and goals based. I could recommend a few if you're really serious about it
