Those uncomfortable conversations we told you about in November/December that we’ll have if Arsenal wins the league….its in 2 weeks o. Be ready!

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

Arsenal winning the league without rival fans wailing would have been a boring way to do it. I love the sound of this victory. 😂😂😂😂

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

Lowkey the fans that hate us so much online are the ones who spent their life supporting Arsenal.
They left to other clubs to glory hunt.
Now that Arsenal is about to win, they are crashing out about their decision but masking it as hate.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

Bro this is why I don’t like to argue football with people.
Especially some irritants that just try to insult and shout here lol.
Imagine saying Rice has been rubbish for many games.
I explained that it’s because he’s helping Zubimendi.
Soon as Zubi is out, Rice is good.
I know ball more than many of you and this is why I don’t like to bring myself to your level.
It’s all in the eyes. If you are looking online for what is trending to so you can follow it, I am not the one.
I am not sheep.
I love this club more than you ever will.
I will never support any player blindly.
They will leave and I will remain.
Their mistakes will remain and we will have to defend it for years.

Please I am looking for a lady I once interviewed for a Social Media Marketing position.

She did well in the interview but we hired someone else.

There’s a new opportunity for the same position with a global brand and I want to recommend her for the role.

If you are the person please send me a DM now.

Arsenal fields Merino, field your Chamakh

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

You can only field the striker you have.

[TG OMORI @boy_director]

When Samson was caught, they first took his sight cos they knew a man with no vision has no power but they lied!

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

If you're making Natasha's issue a gender issue, you know nothing about power. The reason people are siding with Akpabio and castigating Natasha, is because their wagon is hitched to Akpabio. In the words of Francis Underwood "Power is a lot like real estate. It is all about location. The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value."

********
"The women are not standing up for Natasha"

Natasha will not help them pass bill or win another term. The men know it. The women know it. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. As far as they are concerned, it is a personal matter between Natasha and Akpabio. They don't want sand in their garri. Political relationship has nothing to do with penis or vagina. It is strictly a game of interest.

*******
What should you do?

Actions have consequences - even the right ones. Right actions can have negative consequences, and that is why people do not always fight. You can lose your job, your life, your status, for standing up or choosing to do right. You can choose to do right regardless, damn the consequences. That is real courage. It is a conscientious issue and one of personal conviction because the world will not always care. But you fight because it is right.

Things (privileges) we take for granted

Had a long chat with someone today and the story sounded epic

- came to Abuja after NYSC without knowing anybody
- begged a Hausa Mai Shayi to pass a night in his wooden shop
- ended up spending 6 months in the Mai Shayi shop, with sleeping space created only after 1 am close of the shop daily
- bathed in makeshift semi-open bath shed all through
- a QS grad, went to NIQS head office, got a directory of QS firms in Nigeria, opened Abuja page, started calling the numbers one by one, pleading for job. Turned down by all but one
- one gave him an opportunity to come for a chat
- chat was with MD, a veteran
- given biro and paper to be tested in QS field
- the feedback? MD, an old-school perfectionist Yoruba baba, on top on his voice: “You don’t know anything. What is this?”
- young man almost entered ground
- when baba calmed down: “You don’t know anything, but you said you attended XYZ school abi? Do you know AB XY? He should be your mate?”
- “Yes sir, I know him from afar”
- “He is my son. Because you attended school with my son, I will try you on this job”
- Given the job, handed over to a senior employee to teach him the work like a primary school kid
- N60k pay per month
- still going to work from mai shayi shop
- left the mai shayi shop after a couple of months and got a N150k apartment, on which he emptied savings
- Went on to work in the firm for 6 years, with payrise over time, handling even big projects and becoming one of baba’s trusted guys
- by 6th year, young man, knowing the son of whom he was, and with side gigs in construction, and borrowing here and there, and with personal experience in construction, completed a 3 bedroom bungalow in an Abuja outskirt (actually Niger State). Moved in after just plastering.

All happened between 2016 and 2023

When he mentioned staying with mai shayi, I remembered my own beginning and betrayed my emotions.

There was me that landed in a brother’s BQ in VI Lagos after NYSC and staying there rent-free for one year, despite even getting decent job almost immediately after NYSC. I never thought of that as a big deal. But hearing the young man’s story, I thought: “What if this was me that had to live in Mai Shayi store for 6 months after NYSC? Could I have survived?”

I appreciate bro more.

You think it’s Hollywood where the ‘actor’ always win.

[Terfa Tilley-Gyado @TerfaTG]

From this interview and his press conference, I like the way he has already pitched an us against them mentality. “You guys dont think we are good enough.” “I don’t care what you guys think,etc”

It’s subtle but he’s trying to establish a siege mentality from the start. Every Manchester United manager needs that and it’s one of the areas Erik struggled in.

[Gbadamosi Musbau @scholar_MSB]

I hope this help. At 27 I was still waiting for NYSC, staying with and being fed by my brother who didn't attend university. At 30 I still don't have bearings about my life. Everything changed for me at 32. Please be patient, your time will come soon.
