A good midfield will need a messi , a good attack will need a kante. But in football, goals win you games. Outscore your opponent and win matches, so Messi it is.

Take nothing away from Kante, dude is world class.

Pio44:
no see abeg, Chelsea no need him

With Oliver Giroud and Tammy Abraham likely to leave in the summer. Chelsea would need a striker, more so a striker like Kane if they want to challenge for the league.

You declare war in the east that's seemingly peaceful but allow insecurity in the north to thrive.

Terrorist, bandits, kidnappers all having a filled day up north, some even doing videos of their dastard acts, The spate of killings keep increasing everyday. instead of rooting out this heinous elements. you negotiate, compensate and even give amnesty to this criminals. it's shocking.

Now a man is going about negotiating with terrorist. Giving them monies to secure release, doing press conferences to that effect.

some Fulani herdsmen committing all sort of atrocities but the government even making a case of RUGA settlement to appease them.

"one nation, peace and unity" is a scam and a sham.

doxijaw:


Ok be waiting for the international community, they will sell them more guns to kill Una

Under estimate the cabals and expect them to be rational

You guys don't understand politics, you're too emotional.

A psy op is only what can topple them .

Mass education of all the stake holders, clear and consice goals.. dogged determination & real leadership.

Spent far too much time on nairaland today, have a nice evening.

everything is politics, even with human lives. that is why we are where we are. I can understand politics in Government policy but i draw the line when it comes to human lives. if you're not emotional about the avoidable lives lost, I wonder were is your humanity.

as I said earlier, we will reap what we sow, politics or not. Have a good day too

doxijaw:


You still don't get it.

The government doesn't give a rat's ass about you and your protest.

Infact without the protest, they don't give af about your existence, but will use the law , thugs and whatnot to clamp you down .

Then you have the issue of real hoodlums, tribalism etc.

Bottom line, you can't win until you play a different game.

As for what happened in lekki, what about other parts of Nigeria? Are these lekki peep's more important ?

The country is on edge any nonesense could blow out of proportion, so my advice is to retreat for now .

Find something common between all the tribes, use it has a rallying point.

Hint . Hunger, jobs ... Not defunding the police when criminals r running amok.

The internet is your weapon, use it, finally forget the international community.

I'm not really responding to your comments, more like pointing out what is wrong with the whole set up.

"as for what happened in lekki, what about other parts..."

it's just like saying, killings are normal since it happened everywhere.

You see this bad government, it will reach everybody, rich or poor. and we will all reap what we sow.

we should forget the international community, same people Buhari sort in 2015.

posterity will judge all of us.
and we will not stop demanding for what is right in whatever legit means necessary

doxijaw:


We are not discrediting him, what we're saying is they lack direction.

You call yourselves the internet generation, yet you can't organise around the next elections using the internet.

A protest has been tried and it failed, on to the next strategy.

You also need to be careful in selecting leaders, most of those i see are not mature enough to handle the complexities within the Nigerian political space.

Lastly law is law, if you don't get cleared to protest, don't do it, otherwise oyo.

The Government controls the police, The police are to issue clearance to protest, the people are protesting against the government. Be sincere will the government allow any protest?
let's be logical.

you never addressed any of the pertinent points I mentioned earlier. You are more concerned about what the followers should do than the government who put us in this very state.

when the next election comes we will tackle it. But should we pretend nothing happened at the toll gate?

doxijaw:


Explain how he is jealous by expressing the truth.


The reason why most of you are attacking him is because you hate the truth.

If comprehension is the issue, he said even in his comedy, there's no social commentary that could catalyse change, even worse it promotes cultural degeneracy.

Desperately trying to discredit people won't change the fact that in the face of intimidation and oppression, mr macaroni stood up for justice.

you left the fact that he spoke against injustice and attacked his comedy. why not address the real issues.

why are peaceful protesters being arrested?
is it no longer a right to protest?
why is there no justice for the victims?
where are the video records promised to be shown to us?
any news on Mr fashola's camcorder?
these are pertinent questions...
I mr macaroni made several skits about police brutality and so on.

let's focus on the real issues, trying to discredit the messenger doesn't make the message invalid.

Chijeep:

don't mind him...
maybe it just only 1 slap ooo he con dey talk as if dey lock him 4 guard room.
EVERYBODY GO WAN TREND NONI....mtchww

what do you mean by one slap?
should they have been arrested in the first place? Shey suffer no dey taya you?
the way this country dey you like am? as your condition be e make sense? the country get head?

How you go open place wey still dey under investigation, place wey people die, you sef reason am, if na your family member nko?

haba, sometimes make we dey reason things wella before we open mouth.

By the way, the police can be sued for just one slap. na because the country be like this, you no sabi your rights and you feel say na normal thing. Also, peaceful protest na right of every citizen.

Same Lauretta who protested and was very vocal during the last istration.
Now cheering the oppressors because she benefits from the rots in the system.
I Ruben Abati and co. where are they now?.
nothing lasts forever, and just like nature she would reap whatever she has sown.

sounds more like appreciation letter rather than apology letter.

Thank this, thank that. nothing on why it happened and the steps taken to prevent such in the future.

Angelfrost:


I like the fact that your post is well written. It points to the fact that you are well lettered.

So, I expect you to be able to clearly see that I have no hate whatsoever for Chelsea! Honestly, I am quite neutral when it comes to EPL matters, especially since I a lowly Leeds United.

I am obviously talking without sentiments about the present and recent situation of things in this beloved league. Chelsea is completely outside the elite circle! This is unarguable. I hope and pray they bounce back in as the campaign climaxes. I like serious competition at the very top.... This is why I find Spurs' recent run of form quite dismal, distasteful and unappealing.

We must face facts (fans or not)! Chelsea is slowly returning to form, but not quite there! I would hold out on hyping and celebrating for now if I were a hardcore fan... I have watched Tuchel's team games, and they are still quite short with regards to attack, though well improved defensively.

I haven't written them off, as the new coach just took over, and hasn't lost any game yet. I merely stated my clear observation about last night's game.: Spurs played nothing, yet Chelsea failed to decisively run them off the pitch.

This is why I said wait till Chelsea truly smashes a great opposition. Atletico will be a true and worthy opponent!

By elite circle you mean the top 4 right?
Need I remind you that Leicester were in the top 4 for majority of last season, They ended the season in 5th place. Everton and Tottenham started the season on fire where are they now?

we will judge holistically who the Elites are at the end of the season.

By the way, I took exception to ' Chelsea are not a top 4 quality team'. that is not true if you're being honest.

Chelsea are not there yet seeing that a new coach just took charge coupled with a new style of football. it will take time to stick. But there is no denying they're on the right track.

Man city were winning 1-0 a lot at a point, now they're winning convincingly. I bet you didn't set a bench mark for them or say they have to beat a great opposition first.

it's all good, we are all entitled to our opinion.

Angelfrost:


Forget United jare... Smash Atletico out of UCL, and I will be fully convinced that Chelsea has qualified to dine with Kings.

man united couldn't qualify for the round of 16. are they also qualified to dine with kings?

or does being in top 4 temporarily qualify you as royalty?

You're just pained Chelsea won.

I wonder what will be your bench mark when Chelsea defeats Atletico Madrid

Angelfrost:


You are not being completely honest sir.

I know you are a fan, but let the truth be said! The Spurs we both know would not have played that nonsense of yesterday.

I am not trying to belittle the good work Tuchel has begun, but we both know Chelsea is no where near the quality of the top 4 teams even based on what they played last night, except we are watching 2 different EPL campaigns.

Spurs didn't even rise up to the occasion at all! They literally strolled around the pitch from beginning till the final whistle. It was shocking, disgraceful and embarrassing! Leeds United, West Ham and Brighton would not play such rubbish!

Chelsea and Tuchel's true tests are yet to come... When they do, I would love to see the real difference! Fortunately, Atletico Madrid is around the corner!

Your submission is biased, saying Chelsea is no where near the quality of the top 4 is erroneous.
man for man, squad for squad, Chelsea has one of the best squad in Europe not only the league.

Spurs were woeful yesterday agreed. But don't forget Lampard went more than 13 games unbeaten. Form, motivation and tactics play key role. But to say Chelsea don't have top 4 quality is false.

prior to yesterday's match, Chelsea were yet to defeat a top side but they did so comfortably last night.

It is still early days as you rightly said and I'll refer to your post in subsequent matches.

Man U haven't won a top side in the EPL this season, can we also say they do not have top 4 quality. the answer is NO!

let's differentiate facts from sentiments and hate.

DJ switch isn't against the impounding of vehicles of traffic offenders. she is against auctioning them as the process would be devoid of transparency.

Personally, I think stiffer measures like heavy fines, jail should be imposed depending on the gravity or nature of the traffic offense.

I also recommend crushing of the vehicles if need be. This will further reduce the alarming number of vehicles on the road thereby reducing traffic. The offenders should incur the cost too

let's not pretend, people buy back their vehicles at auctions, government sell to their cronies, in the end the vehicles return to the road and the cycles continues. Auctioning seems counter productive.

Packing the bus, reliance on a single player, individual brilliance, luck, can win you matches but they'll rarely win you league titles.

Liverpool and man city all work as a team, dominate matches, win convincingly and have several outstanding players coupled with a good coach, reason why they're always at the top.

This season is quite different though maybe due to the pandemic and injuries,so it could swing anyway.

By the way, for a champion Klopp nags alot. You cannot have your way all the time, move on.

Kyase:

No single Chelsea player will make United bench

Nawah o. sometimes leave your fan sentiments and reason objectively.

Thiago Silva, zouma, chilwell, kante, Ziyech are sure to make that man u present 11.

10 unbeaten matches and your players are all that?
you forgot the champions league and the start of the season?
The only outstanding player is Bruno, others are inconsistent. don't let unbeaten fool you.

chucs:
Anybody but Lampard. He nauseates the hell out of me with his favourtism. Not that his coaching ability is of standard to start with.
Worst coach Chelsea have ever had, yet ppl still want him to stay cuz he is a club legend.

I always know that English coaches are never serious with their careers cuz they must bring in nepotism into everything they do, like a typical English man.

what annoys me the most is the constant cross and nod. even after spending over 200m Chelsea always look bereft of ideas against formidable opponents. His second season and his team still don't have a definite pattern of play. No tactics, no motivation, no ion. just first 11 and grace of God.

You clamp down on alcohol but collect allocation partly gotten from alcohol. You castigate and vilify people who don't dress a certain way but engage in underage sex and marriage. You seemingly 'kill' people who blasphem but you steal, embezzle and have no regard for the rule of law.

The hypocrisy is sickening and nauseating!

By the way, does the sharia law supersede the constitution of the country.
The major concern should be the insecurity and terrorism in the North not a bunch of knuckleheads having sex.

Mourinho clearly playing mind games. I'm sure he is over the moon with that draw.

starting Giroud would have been brilliant. seeing that mourinho would always defend or 'pack the bus' so playing a striker good in the air increases your chances of scoring via crosses. Moreso, Giroud would be in high spirit after that UCl display and will be desperate to impress.

Lampard also made very late sub, it seems he was waiting for mourinho to first make a change. looks as though he was more interested in the the tactical battle than wining the match.

nwaezeemmanuel:
I bet you're a United fan. This drifted talk will not change the fact that he is a good keeper.

Have a lovely day.

you get time o!
No matter how you explain to these manure fans, they won't agree. Mendy is a very good goal keeper. anybody that thinks or say otherwise is simply myopic and lacks basic football knowledge or just being envious and jealous. so don't waste your time abeg.

mehn, see people vehemently defending the Army.

same Army that denied they were ever at the toll gate and later agreed they were there but were invited by the Lagos state government.

why deny in the first place if you have nothing to hide and why didn't the Governor mention he called them in his address instead of saying it was forces beyond his control. something is definitely fishy.

why switch off the light that night for a place that's always well lit. Why dismiss a live video as photoshopped? so many unanswered questions.

show us evidence of your innocence instead of dismissing everything as fake news.

people are scared to come out to talk because they're afraid for their lives. they don't trust the government with their safety.

make this whole investigative process as transparent as possible and see if people will not believe the government again.

Yeyenairaland:


If you're a Chelsea or man u fan, I think the expectations are more on you

This one won use style commot pressure from him team. like say Arsenal no be big club and no deserve to win trophy. oga the expectation is on all top teams. Man u, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man city and Arsenal. abi is Arsenal a small team?

Let's be Honest, Kepa is very poor. you can't keep churning out terrible performances every match day for 2 years and expect to retain your place in a top club.

Guardiola bought Elderson to replace Bravo, heaven didn't fall. Football is a business, you can't keep pampering an inefficient and incompetent employee especially when they're being paid hugely.

Last season kepa had an atrocious save percentage for a goalkeeper in a top club. A new Goalkeeper coming was just a matter of time.

He can stay and compete like the rest or leave. God knows most Chelsea fans won't miss him.

very lawless and anyhow country.

A hustling Nigerian rejected 2M naira and a car gift?. wow!
I'm suspecting that the " and conditions" of the gift was not agreed upon.

Beremx:
I am waiting for Asari Dokubo and all Niger Delta freedom fighters to come out to condemn the looting in NDDC. Unless they are part of it too.

dem no born them well!
if Asari and co. weren't part of it, they would have organised a press conference, granted interviews and threaten hell.

or you want them to talk so they'll start opening their files one by one like Akpabio did those Rep .

you sef think am na.

No matter how terrible Rudiger might be..he is still Chelsea's best central defender. Goes to buttress the fact that the defence needs a total overhauling

this lie no be here o!

why not tender an unreserved apology and if you are to give an excuse or a defense it should be well thought out, intelligent and reasonable.

You got a permit to fly a Judge and when it was discovered the judge was at his destination you decided to use the fight for another purpose. most business men would do the same. but you should have weighed the consequences of your action.

in my opinion, Nwankwo Kanu is the best Nigerian player ever! in of achievements, trophy-wise, impact. football is not all about stepovers and snake bites.

so what was the reason given that made the approval possible.

"he who wants to come to equity must come with clean hands"

na to sell this country to the highest bidder o, then give everybody their share.

Report him to the nearest police station. if possible in your report exaggerate your plight. when you get home inform him calmly that you have filed a case with the police, and he will be arrested any time he as much as touches you. show him proof!

This might bring friction between you and the family. but at least it guarantees your safety.

if them born am well make e touch you again. agbaya oshi!!!
