Second Half

The other 45 minutes of my personality. Liverpool mostly. Everything else eventually.

You know what, Id start comparing our matches this season to our matches with same team last season.

Compare odds, squad, stats let’s see who had a better team and who did better.

I can’t believe we are playing better now.

Let’s start with Fulham

Dear O'tega Ogra,

I read your post and here is what I have to say:

1. "Immediate deployment" is factually false: The Oriire abduction occurred on May 15, 2026. The Chief of Staff to the President only led a presidential delegation to visit the scene 16 days later, on May 31, 2026. Victims were not rescued until July 10, 2026, a 56-day gap. One teacher was killed in the attack and a second died in captivity. Calling this "immediate" misrepresents the timeline.

2. The "results, not politics" claim collapses on communication: Governor Makinde stated on Arise TV that President Tinubu never called him during the entire 56-day ordeal, despite Makinde trying to reach the President through the Chief of Protocol with no answer. A federal government "entirely focused" on security does not leave the governor of an affected state without direct contact for 56 days.

3. Governor Makinde's stance is constitutionally justified: Governors are called "Chief Security Officers" but lack constitutional control over the police and military, which are federally commanded. His calls for state police and decentralization respond to a verifiable structural bottleneck, not grandstanding.

4. The "campaigning" accusation ignores context: Governor Makinde supported President Tinubu in 2023; his crime now is that he is contesting for president. The security of 46 abducted citizens transcends partisan loyalty.

5. Finally, I guess the statement "All is fair in politics" sounds a lot like issue-based campaigning, right?

Your post attempts to reframe a documented failure in federal-state communication and a prolonged hostage crisis as a partisan attack. The facts remain: 46 people were taken on May 15, 2026; the President did not call or pick up the call of the Governor of the affected state for 56 days. Governor Makinde's stance is justified because he is highlighting a verifiable gap between the Federal Government's rhetoric of "focus" and the lived reality of a state that had to wait 56 days for a rescue.

NB: Let me use this opportunity to remind the presidency to secure the release of the school children and pupils abducted from communities in Borno State (Mussa and Lassa in Askira-Uba LGA) on the same day, May 15, 2026. As of today, the Borno children have spent roughly 6 months, with no rescue announced. Governor Makinde himself publicly called for intensified efforts to free them 137 days after their abduction. If the Federal Government is truly "results-oriented," these children deserve the same urgency the Presidency claims it applied to Oyo.

This is a very flawed submission. Infact its lazy and flawed. It’s lazy because its used in a debate, I do not mind it being used in banter.

1. All the people travelling out like he mentioned (except experts which are very few) go out to bag one degree or the other before they can practice. So yes, our education is flawed. A few good marks of good education can be seen in;
A) education export: How many foreigners come to study in your institutions? (Note: I didn’t say study your institutions)
B) certificate recognition: How many countries can you practice your profession with ease of entry in without having to take another certification or degree from the said country?

Now this doesn’t mean we are dull or not competent, this is on the conversation of educational standards are recognition.

Secondly on the base of changing party. For the longest period, Nigeria was a one party state (PDP). The Front runner of the APC had to move through different parties (someone might argue he didn’t move that he was transforming). But the highlight here is that Buhari and every strong power that formed the APC we know today move from various parties into a power opposition. Tinubu couldn’t do it with AD, AC, ACN etc. now for his staunch followers who stuck with him through the transition phase like to believe they weren’t switching parties but reality was they didn’t have to cause they were not self thinkers, they were loyalists, fanatics etc. So to then speak on people who switched parties to find areas of strength is to speak on people who did what their leader did but they the followers can’t dare to do. Their relevance is tied to the leader. Which then leads to the statement “if they can’t lead their party, they can’t lead Nigeria”.

First, for APC, no APC candidate can speak to party leadership apart from BAT. They don’t solve problems there, they report problems to the boss and the boss tells them what to do. For instance Wike won’t have the power he wields in APC if APC was democratic in itself. But since baba wants him we all have to work with him despite him not being a party card holder. That isn’t a voice, that is submission (which in itself isn’t bad, it’s just lame that a submissive person is telling a dom or a voice that they can’t lead).

Second, leading and fixing a party in relation to a country is also abysmal. There is a reason why there’s a rule on multi country citizenship for leadership. A party have rules you can’t change or enforce, has interests that are rooted from the foundation of the party formation. Except you are creating a party from nothing you can’t fix a party without being a godfather or kingmaker. So moving because essential based on intelligence of understanding the benefits of the party to your goal. On the other note, leading a country is by election. This means that you have a voice everyone listens to and unlike party, you can’t change country. It leaves you with 2 options.
1. Loot the resources 2. Make the resources work.
This is similar to working in a business and owning a business. The one you can leave if the growth doesn’t work for you, the other you can go hungry till it works or waste it away.

Again that was a very lazy, and unintelligent argument borne out of ignorance.

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

Jesus Christ in human flesh was first human. Had hunger, thirst, longings and desire (but Jesus Christ is also God (not the human flesh). The human was tempted by the devil.

God sacrificed himself (but with that sacrifice came gifts). “Its expedient I go so the comforter can come…”. But “for who so ever believes in him shouldn’t perish but have everlasting life” would only make sense if he owns the key to life an death as the true essence of the death. That through him (The sacrifice) we may never die (Our spirit).

Several apostles were martyred for their own beliefs. So while Jesus the person died, it was all symbolic for the resurrection. That’s why the veil was torn as at the death, and the resurrection an affirmation of the prophecy “it is written”

But on face value, anyone can choose to die and go. But the real substance is in the ‘why’ not the act.

Mary for instance. Anyone could be a virgin (she wasn’t the only), angel could appear to anyone, generations had carried babies and given birth through different means. Which means that the phrase “that it might be fulfilled” becomes more significant than carrying the pregnancy.

To reiterate, anybody can die or volunteer themselves for death, but nobody can give life through themselves and that is the bragging right we have in the name of Jesus.”

@yemicollins2 @mrflint2022 @aonanuga1956 The evidence showed a lot of contradictions.

Is it that he wasn’t there or they saw ndc?

Is it that their welfare do not allow for guests or their welfare allowed the celebration from media etc he mentioned greeted them?

Is it that they rejected photos or the greeting itself?

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@Rockymedia247 You realize the base of that question lies on the classism system that Peter Obi has broken from both in wealth and areas of influence hence the last line of the question. This will be a redundant question to ask an obi or anyone that is wealthy or had held power.

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@KaiUzama Love your wears tho…

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@RedWaveFootball @AdegbolaJohn3 @SnazzyOkpong @Jacob_Awhen @Verydakman_ @MobilePunch @vanguardngrnews @ADCVanguard_ @ADCNig @TGNLEAD @DavidIbiyeomie Generosity and the saving grace of it.

So where negativity is being presented as a consequence of not paying tithe it first wears the Israelite apron, the law and doctrine, the covenant a representation of the old and not the new passover after Christ.

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@RedWaveFootball @AdegbolaJohn3 @SnazzyOkpong @Jacob_Awhen @Verydakman_ @MobilePunch @vanguardngrnews @ADCVanguard_ @ADCNig @TGNLEAD @DavidIbiyeomie the church (temple).
With the law it is fixed. You do this, you fave that penalty.
With Christ it is love. You do this, you face a penalty justified by love or grace (no penalty).
Therefore in the age of love generosity is then learnt. The oil story, the well story all showed…

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@theosakasun @AndyGni Apparently they didn’t know how to… Salah gave Slot the credit, in fact they all gave Slot credit for it, the team was already in decline

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@da9mo @AndyGni What you forget is the Arsenal and city drop off was meant to be arsenal city Liverpool drop off (going by the previous season trajectory under klopp). Infact prior to that season, everyone thought itd be just a Liverpool drop off cause under klopp the graph was pointing downward

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@Coach_Obinna @AdamsFrameart @fon4gud @The_enginia Yes, on contract.

PS. In case you missed it, The church had a team that were on a 9-5 basis with competitive salary. I was on contract as I was on contract with several other companies who had their own staffs

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@Coach_Obinna @AdamsFrameart @fon4gud @The_enginia Got a decent contract gig from a reputable church in Nigeria through the church media team who work 9-5 (paid). This was 2018/19. I also wasn’t a member. A paid member of the media team who recommended me based on expertise for that specific task.

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@JqJeremy_LFC @Workoftheartist @NgumohaRio_LFC He hasn’t performed for 2 years.

Also, listening to the fans would make you think Mbape was better on the bench

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@literallyZK @NgumohaRio_LFC Wrong example.

Vini has been underperforming for 2 years now. Its not the system

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@didopich @NgumohaRio_LFC With which RB available?

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@WANHEDA019 @May_lfcf1 Actually he broke transfer market for a defender

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@jonjnicholson @LFC_A2 @May_lfcf1 You can’t have a watchable season with your 9 almost always out, your previous 9 been eulogized every 20 mins and your full squad starting the season demoralized

[Second Half @SecondHalfX]

@SerikiDaniel @thatGUYLFC Fun fact the two outings from the champions league was by the winner of that champions league that had gone on to trash every team faced. But his loss to PSG was the beginning of the end
