Chelsea is useless and I'll say it again, Chelsea is very useless. This coach must be very stupid to bench his center backs

I don't think this rosenoir will be in Chelsea next season.

The coaches of this era baffles me.

I mentioned the nonsense sub he made last game. Chelsea conceded against 10 men after that sub.

James is not good for CB. The second goal proved it. No coach have used James as CB except sometimes when we're down to 10 men. Nonsense game plan that drives somebody crazy.

The boys are lazy and slow on ball. I don't see what else they play after that goal.

Even for Enugu. Fantabulous

Enu won gun

Chai....

It wasn't for spying for America.

You people should use sense lie now.

The general is the highest and the closest to Xi. China only mentioned corruption as the reason for his prosecution.

BBC and other reliable sites didn't say he spy for America.

The source on your post is not even the real Wall Street Journal

Enskynelson:
Must love involve two persons? Are you aware there are different kinds of love and the post didn't define the type of love?

The post shared between two genders from the number one on the list to the last.

America will fall from within. That's why it's inevitable.

Every great empire often feels stable and enduring until they no longer exist and we wonder why.

It's always from within. First they are strong and conquer.

Then internally, they start relaxing, allow politicians and ideology to grow, weakening the system and then the collapse happens.

America is already allowing weak ideology to grow.

I agree with your points. It's always from within.
I didn't say their influence won't end at some point but it will take a long time.

Hmm!!!! The USA.

If you think the country is going to loose it's top position in the next century. You should think again.

The country have enterprises that are as hold as their 250 years of independence. At least, more than 100 years old

Enskynelson:
The world's story of love is Jesus

NIGERIA's best story of love is Inikpi.

That's more like sacrifice not love.

Sacrifice herself for the good of others. It doesn't involve two persons

Angelfrost:
Sub is good...!

When a game is already won, you pull out your best players.

It was the rubbish substitution that cancelled the clean sheet.

Y'all didn't see the changes the coach made now. It's when the time gets tough we would start noticing. What kind of sub is that.

Neto for gusto
Estavao for Gittens

I couldn't analyze the formation they are playing now

Everything always appear late in Nairaland here.

One cannot catch anything trending, Seun. After we've discussed a trending headline in Insta, in LindaIkeji, two days after it will appear on Nairaland.

It's so bad Seun.

Be open with us. What sort of kindness.
Money kindness. Cos y'all see guy that showers you money a kind man. That's most girl definition of kindness

I agree.

What he did and also the fact all of them refused to train at a time

Such a change can't be made without the Senate and the house of assembly

Iran situation is where UN influence is needed most but they are no where to be found.

Thousands of protesters have been killed. Still no statement from UN or any plan since it all began.
It seems UN is useless as Trump have been saying.

Mj4199:
Shut up.... always trying to defend the West, if it was Putin that kidnapped another country's president all we will hearing now is tyrant, but since it's USA it is good. The US ship bomb wer delivering weapons to Ukraine and it was hit in Ukraine.

Don't tell me to shut up. Mark my moniker never quote me and and say such rude remark. You don't know me. Act civil. Drop your comment or view or opinion and leave it there.

Chuksgeo:
It’s getting messier, the US seized 2 Russian oil tankers and now the Russians are bombing 2 US ships, looks like TIT FOR TAT.

Oke amakwala ụma ataka akpa dịbịa, dịbịa amakwala uma ejị oke agwọ ọgwụ

That's not tit for tat.

That's extensive aggression from Russia.

The US seized their ships without loss of lives or damages to the ships.
Russia bombing the ship, damaging it and taking lives is stupid and just show the extent of how aggressive and blood thirsty they could be.

Why not seized the ship in retaliation and use it to get yours back.

People that support Russia are unwise.

Russia will never win a war against the west. And they will never be the leader of the world.
They have been second place and third class for centuries and they will continue to be

That is Russia for you. They escalate things.
The ship seized was not even theirs. It just claimed Russia in other to survive.

The US seized their ships, they went far ahead to bomb America ships.

Shouldn't the best thing Russia could have done was to seized the cargos and use it at the diplomatic table. Come and get your cargo ships when you release our oil ships. Simple.

I hope people, including Trump now sees the ways Russia thinks. They are not to be seen as friends at all.

America took their ships without loss of lives and damage to the ship. Russia is bad and those that support them are just unwise.

CaseSensitive:
Intellectually Iazy people like yourself are plenty on this forum and I can't educate yous enough. Trump "proposed". Keyword - PROPOSED. So, to you, the word "PROPOSED = ACCEPTANCE? Do basic research and find out the % of global GDP that BRICS nations controls against the % of GDP G7 nations control. BRICS is currently 40% and rising while G7 is 29% and falling. I didn't say it, the information is out there for everyone to access.

So if you've been keeping up with recent updates and can do basic maths, where does the real power lies? Putin has already mentioned he is not interested in rejoining G7. Yes Russia is an integral BRICS member but BRICS today is bigger than Russia. The alliance is now made up of 10 full members or so, and counting.

So since Russia is shadowing its oil ship with submarine, they should just launch an attack straight away because its oil ship (which was empty by the way) was captured? It’s not even Russia’s ship at all. Some entity likely put the ship under the Naval register and told it to escape to Russia. This gave the Russians an opportunity to set out a red line and told the American, “Under no circumstances would you attack our ship or any ship carrying the Russian flag.”

The whole thing was used by the Russians to send a signal to the US “Look we understand you’re seizing tankers all over the place, but if a tanker is properly registered in Russia and flying the Russian flags, you must not seize it and if you do for whatever reason, Russians onboard must be released” And that’s exactly what the US has done. This is not Call Of Duty on PS5. You don't escalate at any slight provocation. Educate yourself on what warfare chess move is being played.

America is in drastic decline and in huge debt and for once, other powers are standing up to the bully that America is. That's why we're having all these wars and unrests - Iran, Venezuela, Ukraine etc. That's what a declining empire does - they overstretch and escalate unprovoked.

I'll only give comment on your last paragraph. It'll just sum up everything you said.

You can check recent news. CNN, FOX and MSNBC reported it. The US just cut their deficit more than half. The economy also gain up at +5.3%. So if you think the country is in decline, you'd have to think again.

Gaining back control of Venezuela is a big disadvantage to Russia and China.

smallsmall:
Until trump takes over your Country and start looting its Resources, like he is doing in Venezuela, that is when you will now that Putin. Xi, SA and Iran are not mad but People with Vision for a Stable Multi-Polar World where One Country cannot just ride roughshod over weaker Countries.

BRICS+, is the future of the World, this current, wayward Empire that likes to attack weak Countries like Libya, iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Chile, Cuba, Iran, etc (, like the British Empire, or the Roman Empire), is fading, will fade, and it's end is just around the corner.

BTW: Russia is defending its "Backyard", the way America is currently claiming to defend its own "backyard" and this is nothing knew, go and read the "Monroe Doctrine".
Ukraine is just a foolish Battering Cudgel that NATO is using to threaten Russia.
Russia is fighting the whole NATO and it will eventually win, because for Russia, the fight is EXISTENTIAL.
If not for the 'reasonableness of Putin', the World will by now, be engulfed in a Hot Nuclear War, but Patience has limits, Putin has Limits to his own Patience too!

God bless Vladmir Putin, God Bless Russia. God Bless BRICS+

I keep hearing people like you saying, the British empire has fallen. It's just funny.
There are countries and places that are still colony or territory of Britain. Still under their rules.
Some countries in the last 5-10 years gained independence from Britain.
You see the New Zealand and Australia flags, still shows how much influence the British has on them. Canada received the King of England this year and he was received like the king of the country.
The British still have currency higher than the Dollar and Euro and of the BRICS countries combined.
So think again if you think the British empire is gone. It only took another shape and form of influence.

CaseSensitive:
Power moves! America is obviously feeling it and is very much aware that there are other Sheriiffs in town - Reasons why man's moving mad lately

Which power moves. Which sheriff's ?
Do you know the oil ship that was seized recently was being escorted by Russian Navy and Russia submarine. On top all that, The USA still captured the ship.

They (BRICS) know where the real power lies, they just want to pull muscle, play around.

Trump has already propose the G7 return back to G8 as it was before. When that happen the BRICS will be forgotten.

Did that foul worth sending a player out of the game.

That's a wicked and harsh call from the ref.

It wasn't a hard tackle. The guy was using his hand to push cucu back too. And he still fall easily. It was a tussle between them two. So calling as last man standing is inappropriate. The two of them were together as they tried to possess the ball

sonofsteven:
He owed china billions plus Russian protection

I remembered him saying he has assembled 4.5m soldiers after Trump announced 4,000 marines

Probably Russian government and Chinese government gave him assurance not knowing that Russia can't afford two wars and china dey prepare their own invasion against Thailand

Chinese controls many Asian small countries

He forgot that it's politics and every countries are after their share from the loot...he was warned and asked to go to another country and enjoy his wealth but never listened

Never believe in countries promising you help,build your own countries military first, na only USA fit promise and fulfill it especially this madman called Trump who will say something whether good or bad and doesn't care who gets hurt in the process and still goes ahead to do it....reason most countries dey avoid him, Russia no want war with USA cause Trump fit just escalate plus nuclear, make e turn nuclear wars and bet you, not only both countries will be hit since radioactive is involved, e go affect other countries too..china too are avoiding him because of same issues, that man is mad....

It takes a little madness to lead.

Mathewrichard99:
You are right. Just a little education and thereafter a bus driver before becoming a body guard to one popular politician in his country Venezuela who later connected him to a counterpart of Fidel Castro of Cuban and thereafter went to Cuban to be tutored in some aspects of politics before returning to Venezuela to assist Chavez in winning presidential election. It's Chavez that gave him rapid growth in politics. In fact, Hugo Chavez made him before he died. He also hobnobbed with drug dealers at his free time to make quick money. Married and divorced with a son, then married his present wife who was the President of their National Assembly, In fact, Maduro resigned as the President Of the National Assembly to contest as President while his lover who was his deputy now shifted to be the National assembly President while Maduro became the President..... You can see that his career in politics was a form of arrangements built on connection, threats and violence. You can see the reason for the wide celebration by Venezuelans from all over the world for his abduction by the US. Many Venezuelans left the country en masse just like we are doing in Nigeria due to bad government and unending skyrocketing inflation. At a time in Venezuela, a cup of coffee is as expensive as 5k USD on the street.... Money becomes worthless, lack values... to buy few groceries, you will need to visit the super markets with big bags of money bigger than the items you are buying....

Thank you for that elaboration. People that do not understand the real story would only talk bad about what Trump did.

I can't imagine having the Venezuela situation in Nigeria.

Flangelo12:
What's wrong with being a bus driver?

By the way:

In 2025 and early 2026, the situation regarding Nicolás Maduro and U.S. oil companies is characterized more by a complete breakdown of diplomatic "concessions" and the reimposition of a U.S. "blockade" rather than Maduro reneging on private contracts with the companies themselves.
Key developments as of January 2026 include:
U.S. Revocation of Licenses: In February 2025, President Trump revoked the oil licenses and concessions granted by the previous administration, citing Maduro's failure to meet electoral conditions and slow pace in accepting deportees.

Forced Exits: While Chevron was the last major U.S. producer active in Venezuela, the U.S. government ordered it and other foreign firms (such as Repsol and Eni) to wind down operations by May 2025.

U.S. "Blockade": In late 2025, the U.S. announced a "total and complete blockade" of all sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuelan ports.
Maduro's Current Stance (January 2026): As of January 2, 2026, Maduro has softened his rhetoric, stating that Venezuela is "ready" to accept new U.S. investments "when, where, and how they want" in a bid to restore the oil-based economy.
Historical Context: Experts note that while the Maduro administration historically "reneged" on deals through mismanagement and the extraction of resources from the state oil company (PDVSA), the current 2025–2026 crisis is primarily driven by U.S. policy shifts and sanctions pressure rather than new contract violations by Maduro.

Leave what you went to copy out of these. The issues is not a 2025 or 2026 stuff. It's a thing since over two decades now. Since Obama. Trump lay a 10 million bounty on Maduro, when Biden came in he increased it to 25 million. It's the same reasons you're hearing in the news today that both Biden and Trump was after Venezuela

And by the way, Nothing is wrong being a bus driver.

A bus driver, who is a thug becoming the president of a country raise a lot of questions.
You know how their currency is so so worthless.

Shawarmagirl:
Some people's President in panic mood.
2 minutes he will be captured and disgrace. Let him put mouth let's Trump remember his chapter.

Tinubu would never wait to be captured.
Maduro has be receiving warnings, dialogue offers from the US. His silly self was just dancing around and playing games with Trump. They offer him to leave peacefully and get a place and have nice time there. He played a wild boy card

Mathewrichard99:
I would have been shocked if those three countries had supported America Attack and invasion of Venezuela. Maduro was tutored in Cuban and in fact under the tutelage of Fidel Castro and associates, Mexico cartel Sinaloa are deep into drug business with Maduro's cartel, Colombia makes it very easy to move the Maduro's drug into European and Asian countries......those 3 countries share the same bed with Maduro.......

The guy (Maduro) is an actual thug. He was even a bus driver before he became Chavez loyalist and took power after him.
I don't think he has any real education, it's part of the reason he ran Venezuela to worthlessness.

GreenCovering:
Why is Trump obsessed with Venezuela's oil. Not a single word about drugs again?
How callously deceptive can one be to act this way?

It's because the Americans was the one that set them up for the oil boom. The problem started when Chavez came to power and start removing American oil companies and promoting his socialist and dictatorship regime. Maduro was a bus driver, he is a thug and Chavez loyalist. That was how he was able to take over from Chavez.

WYZAD:
Trump is not someone to make such comment without tweeting it on his Truth social network.
Such statement is just a propaganda from d haters of d USA.
Trump never made such comment.

He said it at the press briefing. Trump does not pretend, that's one thing about him. He tells straight on what the gain is going to be.

If it were other president before him, they would have been more politically correct. Obama would have come been very political about it, it would have been more about how they save democracy, the savior appearance, remove a dictator, drug criminal and so on. He wouldn't tell you the main gain.

Trump would be real with you and I think that's why many sane people like him.

Trump came to power and we started hearing , fake news, the fake news. Nobody dare call those big channel fake news before. People eyes start opening and they start questioning what they hear as news.

derecho:
The Only World leader that i'd take serious is Putin. Others are noisemakers
I'm not sure he has spoken sef...Imagine Panama and South Africa dey talk

Putin will only be interested in what happens next.
Russia and China would want to benefit from the oil too. So what happens next is their concern.
If the US want to bring their oil companies in to rebuild their oil sector and infrastructure, Russia and China would want in too. All that remains now is settling deals. If it doesn't favor them that's when you'll see negative reaction from them.

Majority of countries on the same continent as Venezuela supported the action. Except Columbia, Mexico and Cuba.
Not surprised, they are in the drug business together
