The Bela Guttman Curse

Bela Guttman, former coach of Benfica, after being denied bonuses for winning the European Cup (now Champions League), out of anger placed a curse on the club that "never in 100 years time will Benfica lift a European Cup"

This was far back in 1962 and ever since then Benfica have lost 5 Champions League finals and 3 Europa League finals

The curse's expiry date is due 2062, till then am afraid it's going to be a long gory wait for glory.

Abeg, who curse Arsenal too

kobonaire:
let me guess America also caused
1) Boko Haram
2) Fuel scarcity
3) The problem for your village?

They indirectly caused it. If they had not forcefully removed Sadaam, ISIS would not have been formed.
Secondly, when they pulled out their troops ISIS began kilking.
I don't know how old you were in 2003 but it will do you good to research on your own.

oduastates:
The Subsidy regime became beyond repairs after Jonathan and Deizani ballooned the number of fuel importers from 5 to over 100 within 12 months.
Almost all the new companies were corrupt entities set up to collect and subsidies and subsidies alone.
Almost all lacked experience or history in the industry.
They came, they polluted and corrupted the Subsidy regime and they stole.
With this deregulation, most of the corrupt companies left will disappear.
The good companies, without corrupt government agent harassing them, can now build value chains on a deregulated downstream industry.
It is also appealing that these value chains can be built with or without crude oil from the Niger-delta.
Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Angola are not far.
If things go right, refineries, power plants,petrochemical and manufacturing can develop around the industry.
This is built on the hope that Nigeria does not experience a disastrous government like Jonathan again.



I have not even scratched the surface. A petrochemical value chain can easily supply 1 million jobs.
Nigeria spends a lot of money importing all these.

Ethylene and propylene are important sources of industrial chemicals and plastics products.

Butadiene is used in making synthetic rubber.

Benzene is a raw material for dyes and synthetic detergents

Manufacturers use xylenes to produce plastics and synthetic fibers .

Synthesis gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used to make ammonia and methanol.

Ammonia is used to make the fertilizer urea, bombs and other munitions

methanol is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate.

Olefins are the basis for polymers and oligomers used in plastics, resins, fibers, elastomers, lubricants, and gels.


You start making plastics, maybe you will start making home appliances like vaccum cleaners, computer keyboards, toys etc

Maybe printer inks and cartridges, pen and pencils

Why are you blaming Gej ? Didn't he try to remove subsidy ?

lielbree:
islamabad oooh

Anywhere they are there must be bloodshed and anguish!

This us what America caused

ononujuchika:
hope you won't be angry when we call on bubu to arrest amaechi,fashola and tinubu based on their corrupt deeds in govt?

You dey mind them. That's why dem dey call some people zombies.

5thcolm:
I jst read the article and buhari was not quoted to av said anitin about jumping into the sea

Sometimes i wonder if comments are sponsored on nairaland or u guys r jst plain dumb

I don't think you read it well. The comment was made bold.
Even before he said that, this is what he said.

"In a veiled reference to the current separatist agitation for Biafra being promoted by a group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Buhari warned it would be better for the entire country to commit mass suicide than to allow such campaign succeed."

MeAboki:
^^^^^Your hatred wouldn't allow you get sense otherwise you wouldn't be making such ignorant statement.
If you want to know about Buhari's position on the alleged herdsmen attacks and lack such information, google is conveniently available to educate you, instead of following blindly like sheep exhibiting such ignorant hateful trash.

https://www.google.com/m?q=Buhari+condemns+Herdsmen+attacks

Ur president is clearly divisive. He has not raised a finger against the herdsmen but he has killed innocent people. He has to prove otherwise.

dammytosh:
Eediots and POVERTY stricken f00ls.

They will burn Emma B and come online to defend Saraki.

Meanwhile Emma B stole only to affect them today but the Likes of Saraki stole to affect their generation.


I wish Emma B can challenge the jurisdiction of the burning.

I wish Emma B can say the people beating him are his classmate and they must be changed.

I wish Emma B too can scream witch hunt.

I wish Emma B can also say: " burn me beside Tinubu he is also a thief"

I wish Emma B can rent f00ls to wear different tribe attire and carry placard to say justice for Emma B.

I wish Emma B stole a lot to share with the eediots that set him on fire

I wish Emma B can get ridiculous injunctions challenging those beating that they also stole from their mother's pot.


If you give Saraki a fair hearing despite.tracing billions into his account why won't Emma B deserve fair hearing.

The only difference between Emma B and Saraki right now is that Emma B did not steal enough to hire 100 SANS.

Dansuki went to ecowas court to challenge the Federal Govt holding him for months despite tracing billions on naira shared. Yet Emma B was sentenced to death before pleading guilty.


I say no to jungle justice untill we can start treating politicians the same way.

The last time one f00l cut off some ones wrist for attempting to steal his phone. (less than 5k phone )
How I wish I can hand over the 400k plus phones I carry around to redeem that wrist.

With deep pain in my heart I say Rest In PEACE Emma B.

You don't have to die that way but guess you should have stolen way more than u did and can ever imagine to stand any chance before the barbarians.

So the robbery is justified .
I don't blame the man for chopping someone elses wrist. It was reflex action. The fact that Saraki steals billions does not mean someone should steal my phone or snatch my car. I will defend my property.
May be you don't know how many people these robbers kill.

ruffcoin99:
Will their fake ass protest bring back the lost ones? They only exposing themselves, most of them are drugs infested bastards over there. I have been there several times, there was a time police stopped me, asked if i was Igbo or yoruba, i said i'm a yoruba dude and told me to go, if i was Igbo he's gonna follow me to where i stay, it's very certain.

Whether they are drug pushers or not is entirely a different thing. These herdsmen are menace not only to the Igbos but also the Yorubas, Tivs, Igalas etc. With the way the herdsmen are going, it could be someone close to you (I'm not praying for that).
I wonder why some people from the SW are mocking the Igbos are protesting injustice. The Igbos and Yorubas vehemently attack each other on social media but in reality they live peacefully together.

ruffcoin99:
If they are serious let them enter plane to abuja, then to aso rock in front of the presidential villa, and stop this abroad madness, most of them don't even have resident permits. Lobish

Shey u never lost loved one before .

PiccoloBrunelli:
"Bodyguard" ko "Kevin Hart on steroids" ni.

Say No to Steroids. And who else thinks it's cooler when your bodyguard is TALLER than you are......not the other way round.

The bodyguard reminds me of 2Tim3:1-5: "In the last days, men will be puffed up with pride."

All the shoulder just spread like yesterday bread.

Lol. U quote bible join ?

STFUareyouG0d:
This Etoo is so 'Swaggerless'

Unlike Drogba...

For those who love plus size..

Person wey wan marry go hear am

Thank God for acting.

Should we be surprised.. . When there are people who will hail the president no matter what, he 'll not give a hoot about the people who elected him.

manutdadex:
even our generation is too busy being stupid... Posts like dis wont grab their attention..just 8 likes? I weep!

My guess is that they are mainly zombies. They've allowed politics to becloud their thinking. Btw, the herdsmen have attacked every region in the South and Middle Belt. Not even the South West is spared from their attacks. Let's wake up.

Nasiruddeen:
The hate is getting deeper.
I keep saying this- hatred as devastated not only the hearts but the minds of some Nigerians. It has become so bad their minds are beginning to process images that don't tally with the feeds they get from their vision: how many places the heardmen attacked? After all their attacks are reprisals because they and their animals are been killed on daily basis and bias media is silent about it.
Here you have herdsmen either taking cattle for grazing or back from grazing from/to their confinement, posters now made it sound like it is taboo to find the cattle where they are.

What is there to gain from diminishing these people? Where is the doctrine of love that you always claim as Christians?? Haven't we been seeing such images in our cities since forever?? Why are you people making it sound like this is a new thing?? Haven't nomads been part and parcel of our society for decades??
Where are the AK47s some people have been trying hard to tell the world they always bear with themselves??

With our minds twisted so badly by hatred, imagine what people like the poster would say should something of a similar nature happen today.

You people should stop adding fuel to a fire that would consume you while the politicians who would gain some capital from all of these inflammable comments would disappear with their families to a distant safe house.

Stop playing victim. There's no justification for herdsmen to eat people's crops, RAPE women and kill children. Don't turn a blind eye to this.
They attacked and kidnapped chief Olu Falaye. Did Olu Falaye steal their cattles ? Don't justify evil. The people who rustle your cattles are fellow Fulanis.

Here's a wet dream I have been experiencing lately....

Imagine that the country has been clearly delineated into the original six Geo-political zones, with each zone contributing the best of what it has been known for, prior to independence.

SW: region was the powerhouse for export produce such as rubber and cocoa. Just this region rivaled Ghana and Ivory Coast in cocoa production! Don't forget the gold and limestone deposits!
SE : region noted for palm oil and commerce. Folks from this enterprising region knows no limit when it comes to trading. Integration was never their problem. Add that to the coal deposits.
NC : held sway with food crops such as yams, tomatoes, onions, beans, groundnuts...you name them. Add that to iron, tin and other minerals!
NW: was noted for quality hides and skins (leather) and cattle
NE : Noted for cattle, hides and skins
SS : Fishery, rubber, oil palm produce.

We got oil, we got independence, and we all lost our senses! The Black Man mentality got us in a choke hold. For how long are we going to practice a system of government that hasn't lifted us out of this quagmire of over 50 years? Don't people get wiser anymore? Regionalism is the way to go.

Well, since the bulk of our political leaders have suddenly gone deaf and dumb over the issue of the rampaging herdsmen, we are not to eat any other food except beef. Fried meat for breakfast, barbecued beef for lunch, and go to bed chewing a strip of kilishi.

I am totally fed up with a country that doesn't know a true and immediate danger when it's around the corner. If any other people except the Fulanis were wrecking this havoc across the country, the northern oligarchs would have fully armed every almajiri to lay to waste the rest of us.
Somebody should tell Bubu that ranching doesn't require a genius. Even stark illiterates can score A+ when it comes to this very simple concept of animal husbandry.

When u have zombies who never see anything wrong, this is what you get. How many of our geniuses have condemned the activities of the herdsmen ? But this same people will scream when local militias rise up to defend themselves.
I've heard someone say, carrot and stick approach should be used on the herdsmen. Haven't they gotten more than enough carrots ? Is beef the only food we have ? In fact beef is not the only source of mean. Let Buhari continue flying up and down. Let him send all the soldiers to South South. Bigot !!!

nrexzy:
His daughter goes to a £26000 uni and so?how does that Affect our Economy? President Obama's daughter got Admitted To Harvard did anyone complain?

Harvard is an American school. Why doesn't he send her to ABU Zaria ?

Nusaf:
All these comments about fulanis/hausas to go back to their land are quite amusing. If the igbos too are to go back home, who do u think will suffer most? Note that the igbos in the north are more comfortable than the fulanis/hausas in the south. A very simple example; who benefits most in the north-south transportation business? An average Hausa man is very simple to do business with because he is not greedy. I am not Hausa, but I patronise the business of other tribes only when the hausas man is not available. Common satchet water is still sold at 5 naira in most northern states today because even the hausa manufacturers are contented with the little profits they make. There are still 20 naira okada drops in most northern states today.

You are saying something different. I'm not talking about the mai shai that sells indomie or the aboki that sells pure water. I'm referring to the violent herdsmen that go about killing people unprovoked.
How many Igbos or Yorubas have you heard killing in the North.

This is pure selfish. People are naturally selfish. I've been hearing a lot of stories like this. Btw, women are also guilty of this.
I'm sure the guy never really liked her in the first place. Well, truth is, marriage is not by force. As bad as it looks, the man is not obligated to marry her. But he should enjoy those curses.

kastroud:
What was chimamanda TED talk topic , The danger of a single story... Well it seems to be the truth I will pick no sides but to say d truth the fulani are not all too blame does anybody attack u for killing d thief that enters your house will they not say he deserved it. So if it true that the people they killed where trying to steal their cows then so be it they deserved it why d hell will u want to steal someones else livehood . But if not then then in elijahs voice let fire come down and devour them

My guy, forget the cock and bull and story by this man.
Someone comes to your farm and opens fire at everybody.
They invade your land and rape women.
They carry out robbery. So who do you blame for this ?

Mind you, the cattle rustlers are their fellow Northerners and Fulanis
Look at Agatu for instance. What did the villagers do that provoked the annihilation ?
This abokis are the cause of the problems in this nation. Let them stay in their land so that this conflict will end once and for all.

Bawsse:
Are they killing anybody??






I am igbo and totally against the killing of our people by these people, but we can't be reasoning like children, not all fulani r killers

We are not talking about Fulanis. We are talking about the herdsmen in particular.

focus7:
Igbos are their own problem while they points accusing fingers at other regions, you can imagine with the recent killing in the nearby state of Enugu and the outcry for Fulanis to leave igbo land, one of their governor is saying he oppose it. Beside is another indication that the Igbos cannot live on their own independent of other Nigerians, you see the reason Nigeria government cannot support the Biafra agitation of the igbos.

Men, I don't even understand again . Was he trying to be political ?

MRSALT:
I hope the APC guys would see this.This is not an idea of a clueless one . GEJ was not cluesses afterrall

The only mistake Gej did was concentrating so much up North .

That amount too much nah !! He should ask for something modest like 100k.

banmee:
You only need to look at leicester and realize why Nigeria sucks at football today. They are playing the way we used to play under westerhof. The conventional 4-4-2 formation, fast attacking wingers, and every single one of them has pace. Not to mention big mutherfuckers as defenders. This is why premiership teams are confused as to how to play them. Nowadays, everyone want's to be like barcelona. Playing 6-3-2, 5-4-2 formations and all that nonsense.

Don't know the formation Leicester plays but one thing about them is their ruggedness. They were very physical. Do you think any striker will chance West Morgan or Robert Huth ? They also play with hunger and passion unlike lily livered Arsenal.

Keneking:
These grasses are green and nutritious. Cows have to eat grass as students don't.

Nothing wrong eating grasses. In fact, there are too many grasses causing nuisances in some places. But the problem is when these herdsmen start killing people and raping.

kcnwaigbo:
Well done Agatu youths.More grease to your elbows.

We don't know whether they are Agatu youths. But if they are the ones, you can't blame them.

Bolade005:
If you didn't allow people steal so much, you'd have been the best thing to happen to Nigeria.

I hate to admit this but with the latest happenings in Nigeria, I dare say, you were a great president.

The only thing the current government is good for is fighting corruption, na that one I wan chop?

See as Buhari is making Gej a hero. .
