BascoVanVeli:
Flamingos vs South Africa (3-1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KvyomiBiNE

Good job.

However, you may need to redo the commentary as you repeatedly called our opponents Botswana instead of South Africa.

Goke7:


I think we don’t need to pressure the coach, we know our current standings in the wcq and Chelle shouldn’t be judged on that cos I know us as a people once we don’t qualify we can start calling for his head. Why don’t we wait and see how things pan out before creating unnecessary expectations we can’t manage. Let the coach settle into his job. My thoughts

You are being disingenuous with your comments.

Pray tell how is opining that Chelle should be rewarded IF WE QUALIFY creating unnecessary expectations, calling for his sack and not allowing him to settle into his job?

Goke7:


Person never start work Una don Dey talk of national honour and citizenship!

Read again, I said if Chelle qualifies us for the WC.

Yes, national honour and citizenship as a way of rewarding him if he achieves that feat cos it's a daunting and almost impossible task.

Ademola cancelled goal against Rwanda was AFCON qualifier, managed by Eguavoen

My bad, you're right.

The WC and AFCON qualifiers are being played at the same period, and with the same opponents, hence the mix-up.

opes:



He also spoke about his approach and philosophy


"He would use the natural strength of Nigerian players to form his style of play – pressing hard when they lose the ball, spreading out and playing with confidence, strength and speed when they are in possession. Getting to opposing goals in the shortest possible time and with the fewest number of es"

This style of play requires pressing hard from the front, in attack and in midfield, and playing a high-backline with offside traps like Barca does.

The issue with this is we don't set offside traps very well and haven't perfected those tactics.

Furthermore, relying on offside tactics at the back could prove disastrous in the absence of VAR review because an offside goal may be scored against us if Referee & Linesman "sojinu'

(Drogba's goal for CIV against Nigeria in the 2006 AFCON semi-final comes to mind.

We have been extremely unlucky without the VAR in this WC Qualifier.

If VAR was being used, we'll have gotten 3 points from Rwanda for Lookman's goal and perhaps another 3 points from SA for the foul on Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and our standing in the group would have been different.

If Chelle qualifies us for the World Cup, he should be given OON national honour and immediate Nigerian citizenship, with an improved contract covering the next 2 AFCONS after this year's.

Is that the only thing you saw in the letter?


You did not see the saga is Emmanuel uduagan who promised marriage for the pussy


See what we were arguing about proven yet again . Weak game SS men who can only pull chicks by lying

From time immemorial men of all persuasions and cultures have promised marriage for knacks.

Who never do am? Hands in the air, no hands

Though it tarried and it took being sued, the koko be say our SS brother came through eventually by marrying her.

From that legal document,,Senator Natasha was awarded a 7 billion Naira contract in 2018 by NDDC to build an ICT Hub in Akwa Ibom

Akwa-Ibom? same state as Akpabio. Seems too coincidental to me.

Whether Akpabio was NDDC chairman or not then, there's no way she wouldn't have crossed path with him when she dey pursue that contract.

Seems to me like Akpabio and Natasha have history together, and that emboldened him to call her at those odd hours if her claims are true.

I wonder what and where it went wrong.

Make I keep the rest for my mind.

Shey una see how Senator Natasha take sue her hubby or hubby-to-be then?

Distasteful testimony I tell u! He just Dey glorify money anyhow

His name is Korede Komaiya.

I'm not surprised by his money glorifying utterance cos na hin modis operandus be that.

He's the pastor who trended a while back for preaching that poverty is a sign of ungodliness and to be poor means there is sin in a person's life.

I do not rate Chief Segun Odegbami.

If he says something I'm inclined to believe the opposite

BlueRayDick:
With Testimonies like this , I think FIRS and the respective states Internal revenue services may need to start looking at taxing churches , their founders and pastorate .

https://x.com/therealchurchg1/status/1897911431774789683?s=46

Distasteful testimony and manipulation.

The pastor wey you contribute gift Rolls Royce no acknowledge you publicly so you must declare and announce yourself.

If your spiritual father wishes to keep your identity secret, why are you contravening his wish and dishonouring him?

It's a solid provisional list, not gonna lie.

Glad for Igoh Ogbu, Chrisantus Uche, Tolu Arokodare, Chidera Ejuke and Akor Adams inclusion. I hope they make the final list.

I'm gutted by the exclusion of Olisa Ndah who I consider Nigeria's best-ball playing, press-resistant and versatile defender as he can play any position in a back four or three.

Overall, a good provisional list

BlueRayDick:


I when I used to have thoughts that when I’m tired of private sector , I will just go for my PHD and just switch to lecturing because I intend to impart knowledge in the younger ones from the view point of someone who has practiced .

However , since the last ASUU strike when I heard the actual take home package of professors I just deleted such thoughts from my mind . It’s not worth it at all.

E good as you abandon ship. Nothing dey academics in Naija.

The poor remuneration + non payment of certain earned allowances is the major reason why ASUU always embark on strike but they mask it with revitalization of universities and fighting for the survival of public universities system bla bla.

Also, it doesn't help that promotion in academia is based solely on publications., hence the aphorism, "publish or perish"

You go do research finish, go through the rigour of writing the paper and still have to dole out 200k to a journal to publish it? On top your chikena salary which is not even enough to attend to your family responsibilities.

Whatsapp & telegram groups have sprung up where people their papers and seek financial collaborators whose name are added as co-authors to publish a paper. They these co-authorship slots from 20k - 50k depending on the amount required by the journal.

I know someone, a non teaching staff who did a transfer of service from a Federal university to NIMASA in 2023. He was placed on the same level 12/3 he was in the university but guess what, his salary jumped from 300k/month to 2.2m/month. The reason being that NIMASA is a revenue generating agency and they're allowed to fix their salaries.

Dude is now financially stable, and has copped a 2010 Toyota Sienna.

The only good thing about about academia is the job security it provides.

As regards buying decent cars from that salary , except there are other allowances like bulky upfront/housing package , children education allowance , hefty Cost of living Allowance (COLA ) , etc which is separate from the annual consolidated pay of N7.5m ; the GT will not be able to buy decent Tokunbo cars from that salary o.

Go out and touch grass.

The ride must not necessarily be a Tokunbo. People dey japa and sell their good rides to raise money.

Any GT wey plan well go cop ride on that salary

BlueRayDick:
The NNPC graduate trainee salary package is actually not bad at 7.5m gross per annum .

It’s just that in this T-pain economy where everything is now expensive ; for you to be able to buy a decent Tokunbo car from ur net earnings within 2 years of working , u must be a heavy saver .

Not bad at all.

In comparison, a professor at bar earns about 550k/month after deductions. That's about 6.6m per annum.

It's the reason they all justle and go to any length to be appointed VC's cos their takehome soars to about 5m/month.

I want to believe NNPC has staff cooperative and credit facilities at discounted annual interest rates.

Any serious GT will buy a decent car in 2 years with that salary, especially those outside Lagos and Abuja.

Both were caught looking unfresh.

Samueltemi337:
Olympiacos fans reacted after Super Eagles left-back Bruno Onyemaechi made his first start and played the full 90 minutes for the club in their Greek Cup semi-final first-leg wiin

From the first match I watched him play, Bruno Onyemaechi appeared to be a better player and an upgrade on Zaidu Sanusi.

It was a travesty for Peseiro to bench him throughout the AFCON.

Importers Fret as Dangote reduces Petrol Prices Again.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/8353418/importers-fret-dangote-lowers-petrol

Someone should explain to me like a baby on this Dangote vs Independent Fuel Marketers importation issue.

Why dont 'the IFM buy directly from Dangote?

Why are they importing fuel from thousand of miles with all the additional costs?

Isn't it cheaper and more profitable to buy directly from Dangote who refines locally?

Does it make sense to import when Dangote has deep pockets and can undercut their prices and make them incur losses? If I'm not mistaken, this is the 2nd time Dangote has announced a reduction in the ex-depot price of his petrol, and each time the IPM complain of unfair tactics, and selling at a loss.

I understand monopoly is bad, the competition has kept the prices relatively stable, but is there more to it?

Ogbono soup 😂😂with plenty orishirishi inside

Hmm

In my experience, na egusi soup with little ogbono toppings and orishirishi dey sweet .

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding so make we see as e go be.

Wetin Chelle dey cook wey our football journalists dey talk about but no wan spill

Japa no easy like that

Most times the beneficiaries of these schemes are made to sign bonds with the state governments to return and serve the state for a number of years.

The state governments also ensure that their transcripts and degree certificates are not issued to the students but the state government.

That's how some states go about it

William Troost Ekong interview on Talksport this morning ! The lad is well articulated and intelligent!🤓

I've said it repeatedly that Ekong is a potential super eagles coach.

I hope he gets his badges and goes into coaching when he hangs his boots.

I want to do away with the '94 set of coaches so bad, and I think Ekong is showing the brightest potential amongst this set.

Soapy

I get, but that doctor is not pushing that. Na side chick and infidelity hin dey advocate.

I wonder what his gain in that is?

izzou:


To be very honest, I don't know how people manage such.

Even in Nigeria, unless my wife has a very serious job/business that is instrumental to our finances, anywhere I go, I drag you along.

Nothing irks me like a married man cheating. I can stand a single guy or lady jumping everywhere, but once you use your 2 hands and legs to marry, stay there.

I still don't understand why men play offside, even as bachelors.

I've only known two ladies in my life. I was exclusive with both and I married the second one.

That doctor and his get a side chick to ejaculate 21 times per month to prevent prostate cancer mantra no go down well with me, at all.

How catholic priests dey do am?

Sets up the trilogy nicely.

No space for Nwakali or Tanimu?

A mediocre coach selected an equally mediocre player.

He should never have been in the equation in the first place.

David Hundeyin vs PidomNigeria on X.

Ademola Lookman, current APOTY and a future Atalanta Bergamo Hall of Fame inductee.

Na because of Mola we pin with Atalanta

Aseju ni scholarship.

Was the girl deserving of the expulsion, emphatically YES.

She went berserk and physically assaulted the lecturer.

She exhibited poor impulse control, uncontrollable emotional outbursts and extreme anger issues.

I absolutely condemn her behaviour and I'm of the opinion she needs anger and behavioural therapy for these issues, and not a scholarship.

Hindsight is 20/20 but the lecturer too could have ed through in another way.

Rather than touch her back, he should have walked up to her, stood his ground and told her in a firm and authoritative tone, "Excuse me young lady, you're obstructing my path" and the girl would have been so apologetic and be like "Oh I'm so sorry sir, I didn't see you coming" and scurried away.

Additionally, he could have also used that opportunity to instruct her not to shoot videos in that particular place because it's an office corridor.

Na wetin me for do be that.

Anyway, what's done is done. Everybody go dey alright at the end.

As it stands. only a private university and universities abroad can graduate her.

Blueraydick, even slots in the travel entourage would be sold as Canadian visa for people wey get money

E.g drop 20m and get Canadian visa on CDS entourage

You no lie.

I don encounter such for some whatsapp and telegram groups.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/8344327/disregard-malicious-allegations-canada-visa



So Ribadu told Canada to go to hell because the Chief of defence staff wanted to body with Military athletes going for the Invictus Game in Canada and they denied him visa. Na wa o.

Our top men/leaders no get any iota of shame at all. Imagine the nonsense reason they gave for his inclusion into the delegation sef; dem say his presence will add mental strength to our troops like say na war dem wan go fight there. Why can't he go and give the real troops fighting Lakurawa and Boko Haram in Northwest and Northeast respectively that mental strength?

I even thought he was reschedule for a very important official assignment involving other country's top military chiefs and was denied visa ni. So he was denied visa for trying to go waste naija money on estacode for a sporting event and Nuhu Ribadu the NSA dey convulse like say na matter of national emergency. Shior!

Na normal thing.

I wonder what you'll say when you learn that politicians; Senators, HOR , sports commissioners, deputy governors, governors etc are always included in the NFF/Sports Ministry delegation accompanying the Super Eagles and other National footballs team squads to prosecute matches outside the shores of Nigeria.

Nigeria is a really weird place.
