I am very confident that Al Nassr will take the Saudi Pro League trophy back home because the team is very promising now. Like I have mentioned earlier, the club needs a stronger goalkeeper. It will be of more advantage to the club. Having Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo combined in a club like this was a great decision.

Ettihad also have Karim Benzema and N'golo Kante and the club is also doing awesomely as far as this season is concerned. My evaluation for now is based on these top rated players. They are strikers that are promising and have elevated the league as a whole. Meanwhile, I want to follow the challenges to the end of this season. I am already predicting Al-Nassr and Ettihad at the finals.

If it were another club like Braga or Union Berlin, Napoli would have done better than it did in the last match. Unfortunately, they were faced with Real Madrid, who's also hungry for goals at this moment, at it won't go well with Ancelotti's performance to allow the big team face the shame at the group C Qualifier. Although Napoli remained a strong fight for them, they were able to repeat a win over Napoli again, after both clubs had met in 2017 UCL and Real Madrid thrashed Napoli 3-1 in both rounds. With the efforts put by Valverde, Bellingham and Vinicius, Real Madrid was able to maintain the lead of the table. I don't think Napoli will be threatened for now but they need to warm up against Union Berlin on the 24th of this month to remain firm in the league.

I am not happy with the performance of the Manchester united club this season. I don't expect such 'big club' remaining at the buttom of the table in group A. Like, what exactly was the club doing that the English team could not win over Galatasaray yesterday at the Old Trafford stadium. That was a damaging loss to the team to allow Galatasaray take on that advantage. I am no confident on their round of 16 qualifiers. The club seem to be ready to take a break and retire from this years Champions league.

If Icardi had won that penalty he missed, that would have worsen the situation for the Red Devils as it will be 4-2 by now. Same way Bayern Munich trashed the Red Devils in their last challenge. Ten hag is not setting a good record in the Red devils this year. Ten Hag, for the first time, led the Red Devils to start the Champions league group-stage with a zero point at the bottom with successive defeats, a point behind Copenhagen, four points behind their yesterday visitors and 6 points behind Bayern Munich who's leading the group A table.

No be today this kind matter dey happen but wetin they vex me pass na why our government dey allow am happen, again and again. But the reason is not far fetched since you won't isolate all those issues from the plaquing insecurities in the country. Our country don suffer from bad leadership too much so tey we dey count trajectory and antecedents of past leaders and their scale of corruption. Any country that cannot secure it's citizens, especially those it has sent for such National assignment like the NYSC corpers. Haba, people wey get future, get plans, get ambition. Una go just allow make kidnappers carry dem go. Just like that? It doesn't make sense na. Those corpers are supposed to be the most secured citizens of the country, at the time, especially as they wear that uniform, like other workers under government assignments, would be protected.

Since NYSC don become compulsory to dey eligible to get government work for Nigeria, plenty of us no get choice than to go for it. In the middle of attending the program, some us our young people wey get passion go wan take more assignments or go to PPAs that are somewhat closed to vulnerable areas and as such, prone to attacks. Na why if government wan follow my opinion, I go say make em ban this NYSC stuff since it has almost defeated it's purpose. Mainly of which is to promote national unity. How many of the Corpers they actually stay for their PPA, without relocation?

Na wetin make me too go look for connect on how dem go carry me go place wey near home as I been dey serve back then. Because as we beem dey serve, issue of insecurity was still at its peak and I was ready to forfeit it if I didn't get what I wanted, which was a place near home. So, before we go mobilization, dem help me put me for where close home. Like that was actually better for me. But looking at it broadly, that has somehow defeated it's purpose since I could easily serve close to home, without having to travel to the other side of the country.

Abeg, I support that legislative motion wey been suggest say make them Ban NYSC. Since it has lost its main purpose.

Na so e dey be. Make we say plenty of these things are caused by the proliferation and non-regulation of the contents that are flown over the social media platforms. The ministry wey supposed to dey at least checkmate these things for the masses no really dey function like that, for that reason, plenty people dey see say dem fit advertise anything wey dem bring come for them, especially as far as money go dey involved. Dem no wan do plenty research on the standard of the company wey them dey advertise


Your first paragraph dey so, so give me joy my oga. But the truth be say, even many of them dey put am as disclaimer say them. Them no be financially adviser,, so make people no dey take their words serious since them. Having said that, plenty content creators no dey do better background check on wetin dem they promote for social media and na that non- charlatan attitude na him make dem no dey care. We don see plenty situations where influencer go dey write long note from lawyer say him dey disassociate himself with product. And na why I fit agree say, Although Davido and Wiskid dey collect adverts too o. But dem dey do proper investigation before entering into working for them.

Of all the matches played today, between, Man united Galatasaray, Real Madrid and Napoli, Arsenal and Lens. I am more impressed with Real Madrid's win over Napoli. They showed that spirit of consistency even though the goalkeeper was close to a flop. I didn't know how Ancelotti has been able to manage Kepa in this match. Like seriously, he conceived early goals like no other. That's quite unprofessional of a goalkeeper playing for such a big club.

However, Vinicius my guy, was able to warm the club up with the first equalizer. Then, Jude Bellingham made the fans proud by netting the second goal. I enjoyed the way Bellingham pushed the ball forward from the 40 yards out and maneuver his way through to the 18 yard and scored a fantastic goal. Last of it was the effort put by Valverde and unavoidably assisted by the Napoli player to cause an own goal.

I'm not impressed at all with the way Arsenal played it's match today. I wasn't impressed with the manager as well. All I was expecting was a straight win but otherwise happened. Although Lens had the struggles of holding the match, but Arsenal had all it takes to control the game. Loosing over Lens is not encouraging for the UCL. Unfortunately, Saka went off injured and had to leave the match from the first half. That I felt was part of the reasons why the team could not hold it stronger. I would not say, Vieira didn't try, but Arsenal needed more striking force. This further commensurate my opinion that Arsenal needs more squad depth to take this league. Especially from the Saka's angle.

Who else is still following the VAR controversy at Tottenham on Saturday between the Liverpool. After this event, Liverpool had took it upon itself to trail the case to make a request to the PGMOL to release the audio conversation of the incident. Interestingly, PGMOL was able to get Liverpool with the footages for their review. We are also hoping and waiting to have it released publicly. On the flip side, the VAR official was biased and used emotion to make his judgment. I still don't take it as a mistake because Diaz strike wasn't supposed to be ruled out just like that. The official could have taken more time to analyze this before taken on in his conclusion. As a penalty, both the VAR official and his assistant have been removed from matchday duties for the rest of the week.

I join others who criticized the decision of the VAR team who didn't intervene after they had discovered the true part of the incident. They could have just resolved it while the game was still on. Although, they capitalized on the IFAB Rule 10. Nonetheless, they could have done better to have resolved this issue on the pitch. I want to believe thst Tottenham took the home advantage over Liverpool. But next time, the VAR team needs to get better sothey don't raise the football fan's possible concerns on Favoritism.

But in situations like this, what should be the possible outcome, will the goal be counted or does it mean the PGMOL does not have any provision to address such mistakes in favor of the victims?

I don't think I've personally paid attention into watching the Saudi Pro League like in the present. This is one of the greatest thing Ronaldo has brought to the league entirely. Ronaldo's featuring in Al-Nassr is a big deal for the entire league and not the club alone. Al-Nassr's consistency since the coming of Ronaldo, has not only encouraged the club to win consecutively but have also pushed other players in the club to work harder. Ronaldo is acting a fatherly figure to the squad and has given the league more attention. Yesterday's three win over the one goal scored by Istiklol was a good one.


Al Nassr is doing awesomely, from the August this year until yesterday, Al Nassr has played approximately 16 matches, home and away in the ACL and Saudi Pro League. In all of those matches, the club has won 13 matches, draw in only 1 match and lost only 2 matches. I don't think any club has gotten a better performance like Al Nassr so far, especially since the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane into the club. What I will encourage the club to do now is to get a better goalkeeper, th one goal scored by Istiklol yesterday was avoidable, if Nawaf Al-Aqidi could put more efforts. I was impressed by Brazilian midfielder, Talisca's performance too.

My predictions went well, despite that I predicted that Chelsea will have a slight win over Fulham yesterday, Chelsea actually impressed me with the one extra goal that made it a 2-0. Yesterday was colorful for the club and the fans to witness Mykhailo Mudryk conceive his first goal for Chelsea and to equally witness the full come back of Armando Broja from injury to also net the ball. It seemed like a plan by Pochettino to close the goals in the space of first two first-half minutes. I was fascinated by the way Mudryk chested the cross assisted by Colwill slotted the ball into the net and how Broja took the opportunity to break the poor and weakened defence of Fulham to double the goal in just a minute interval.


Lightly, I will say, the match against Fulham was sort of some challenges thrown at Pochettino from Domino's fast food company to prove them wrong for not allowing them partner with the Blues but all thanks to the efforts that was put into the game by the players and especially by the manager, Pochettino. Another reason why I projected a win for Chelsea even though they have been playing poorly this season, is that, after having a close observations on the last 5 matches both club played, Chelsea seems to be courageous to win over Fulham. This is notably incomparable with Arsenal and Manchester. The fact that Arsenal and Man City remain the most promising clubs so far, does give Chelsea to capacity to win both clubs yet. We expect Chelsea to consistently gain their feet yet before throwing up to the duo.

I am quite optimistic that Chelsea could gain at least a slight win over Fulham today and the reason why I drew this conclusion is that, following the last 5 games played by both teams, Chelsea won over Fulham in the 3 of those games and a single draw match. Fulham was able to win only 1 game of the 5 last games both team had played. Secondly, although, Chelsea does not seem to be in any good shape for now. However, Pochettino should be more encouraged to win this game to at least gain over Domino's teasing and challenge with a win. I think what's transpiring between the club and the fast food company alone should give the management more courage to win this match.

It's hilarious to see how Domino's have consistently mocked Chelsea as the club suffers from the Pochettino's syndrome which have kept the fans disappointed ever since. On the flip side, Domino's have find solace in the misery of the Blues. Chelsea have scored a total of 5 goals since the start of this season and 3 of those goals is in one match, against the Luton club. Other two are 1 goal defeats. After the last match when Aston Villa net the Blue off at their home. Domino's quickly went to their X account to mock Chelsea that they delivered about 852,609 pizza.


“We've delivered about 852,609 pizzas since Chelsea last scored a goal.”


“We did the maths - turns out it's worse than we thought.”

As if that's not enough, Domino's took the teasing to another level by positioning a digital Big Screen outside of the Fulham showing how many deliveries they've made thus far.


“PIZZAS SOLD SINCE CHELSEA'S LAST LEAGUE GOAL 9,892,022”.

Now all I expect of Pochettino is to prove Domino's wrong by winning today's match against Fulham. I see this as a challenge.

Abeg help me ask am well o. This one sha shock me reach my bone marrow. Why this person dey talk like say e no know wetin dey sup for Naija. Make we even say dem born you inside sliver spoon, yet you supposed to know say average salary for Naija no be 150k na. For this one, me and you no need Google am.

If you dey on ground, you supposed sabi say na only Federal works dey even pay above 100K for a start at level 8. For state, some Directors wey I know no dey really collect pass that o. E go shock you self. Na why plenty civil servants wey no get heart dey fit still government money be that. As Director, person don dey near him pinnacle for him civil service career be that, yet see wetin dem dsy offer am. Something around what another person wey dey work NNPC or so go collect for a start. Because I forget to mention say, no be all federal works sef dey give 150k for start o.

We no dey talk about this because say we dey happy about the status quo but the last time wey I check, our minimum wage no pass 30k. That na just around 30-35 dollars. Abeg, as you dey comot house every morning of the week dey go work place come back by evening, your minimum wage na 30k. Wetin you get to come show for house and how you wan take handle your bills when fuel subsidy removal kasala don burst too.

For our information, FG been just announce this evening, after him meeting with the Labour, say em go increase the provisional minimum wage for all treasury-paid Federal Government workers to 35,000 naira for the next 6 months. Chai, na him someone dey call 150k as average? Dey calm down na bros.

Honestly, I am still marveled by Ronaldo's consistency on the pitch all these while and how he's still shining like a star that he is, in the Saudi Pro League. It continues to show how firm his talents are and why he's still one of the best in the history of football. At 15 minutes of the match, he add missed a shot that was slightly denied by the goalkeeper at the 18 yard. He missed another fantastic shot wide out in the first half after he had sprinted over the defenders.

Once they got back from the second half, Ronaldo shot a ground ball that got saved by the goalkeeper. He nearly net the ball in just 5 mins after but it went off the post upon hitting the bar. In the attempt for the team to score the winning goal, the header hits the ball on the hand of a defender which VAR declared as a penalty shootout. For Ronaldo's efforts in the match and his track records in the history of football, he was handed over the winning penalty which he delivered neatly. What more would the club demands of the star player again?


But do you think is the fate of Al-Ettifaq win be that guaranteed. I don't think so. Taking a bird's eye view on theor last 5 previous matches, won't give one the confidence for a win. However, that's like to happen too as Etiffaq managed to beat Al-ahli in their last match. Nonetheless, Al-Ahli has won more matches in their last 5 previous matches. It will be an interesting match today as both team will go out to the pitch in search for a 3 points. I feel like this match could rather end as a draw.

My oga, the country don almost turn upside-down o. We sha no go lose hope on top of the country because na our home country be this. Before this regime,plenty regimes don pass including during the military services. All if you factor dem together con recollect the struggles and tussles wey we don undergo, you fit come into conclusion say, na serious and deep prayers we need. And it has to be intentional and collectively.

I'm pretty sure that's what the president is buttressing on. We have been stagnant as a nation and have a very long way to go. The expectations and burdens on us as rhe giant of Africa and the different corrupt cases wey dey happen on daily basis. E reach make we enter serious prayers o. One thing wey i like na the mentioning wey mr president mention am say make we help am, help ourselves with prayers.

And as of the need to remind us. Yes. Our presido need remind us o because if you dey look for environment where dem dey injure people pass, hypocritically, na Nigerians. That's why dem talk say change begins with me and you. As far as we continue to sabotage the efforts of the government, we won't prosper as a nation. Instead, let's join into prayers.

I no really see this news as anything sha. Not anything negative. I know everybody get him own opinion when it comes to things like this and everyone go want make him/her opinion carry weight. But thing be say, i no really see wetin dey wrong for this matter, since na human beings (Nigerians) too like you dey work for those banks and dem too need rest, and enjoy the rare joy and reverence wey such event they bring once in every year.

October 1st na the day wey Nigerian collect freedom on top white people wey come colonize us move our properties dem, legally and illegally go their own country to go develop themselves con leave us inside the mess wey we dey today. At least, Nigerian people, our leaders of then, who are the very true-spirited leaders wey we get dem, stand up against those oppression con help us collect our independence, diplomatically.

I believe say October 1st na one event way every brethren and progressive Nigerian go dey happy about. Hence the cause for the public holiday. So, I personally no see anything wrong with them closing for just 1 day. No forget say, even as them close, them ATM booths still dey open to collect cash.

Thank Almighty say we also get access to cashless society where you fit do virtually everything for your phone and POS, if you are left with no other option – in worst case scenario. So for somebody like me, I no really see any problem inside so far as dem go leave cash inside their ATM machines for that day.

I go like blame the Bank, the Network and our Politicians. Plenty things dey wrong with our system o my mate. The customer service and representatives are unprofessional. Like today person call me as customer representatives of one platform like that dey talk anyhow after I don lay complaint severally. Small problem dem no fit solve. Na so this matter dey also remind me one certain time when one of our network providers pack my credit o. I con call them for rectifying but na so if another rep picks up after network glitch from the previous, him gaz frustrate me to repeat myself again from the beginning. Wai... Very annoying!

Second thing na the kind poor network wey dey plague us for this country. As we dey try meet up with other countries, na so our network standard dey reduce small small. The matter dey pain me like tire. Even for your transaction, network fit be major issue self. Na so I dey try register my business with one payment gateway for Nigeria on top my company account. Na so e don almost reach one week I dey battle with them to respond amongst others. Majorly contributed by the service provider's network. Person no fit enter casala call for network o. Because guarantee no dey even small.

Lastly, Why I include politicians be say ba dem be the genesis of all these wahala we dey face. Politician one chop on top every work wey dem give am. Even na one kobo. Na why we dey where we dey today. My mate, no vex for all that have happened to you o. Kpele!

Brings us to talking about the revenue this country dey generate from the Nigerians in Diaspora and how that has equated close to nothing. As researchers talk am all over the space, the money wey our fellow Nigerians wey dey another country dey remit come back our country na over 21 billion dollars in one year. Make you try calculate am for our currency and the fear go catch you more. Now, these same people na serious work carry dem go and dem wey work tire for another man land to come remit this kind huge money for us. But make we talk truth o, wetin e dey amount to? Closed to nothing. Dem self no fit account for am. Na these same people na hin no dey fit vote o. And you same make dem no run collect appointment for Biden hand? Dem don try so tey the old man see their efforts come say make him carry them gum body. If no be this government wey dey try impress us about them efforts to fish out the BIG FISHES and make good use of them, how many potentials don leave abroad come back con turn wreck.

I like my country well, well o. But dem ogas at the top no dey try at all o. Dem senior men in the upper echelon na mugus (no be all sha).

But the buttom line is; as you dey take your national pledge to support Nigeria to your last blood, make dem too dey work with consciousness to deliver their duties na. Mans, we don see life, blue and black for this country o. No be childs.

I was just checking at the performance of the La Liga coaches for this month and found out that Ancelotti of Barcelona was missing from the three coaches nominated for the La Liga's monthly award "Coach of the Month" for September.
Real Madrid managed by Ancelotti is the second leading club in the league right now, plus they have only lost one match to Atletico in this month on an away game. Other matches have been won by the team, however. That isn't a bad performance to me thus far. Although I have a strong feeling that Girona will win tomorrow against Real Madrid.

Anyways, the three coaches nominated for the La Liga's monthly award for best Coach of the Month are:

Name of Coach	Club
Ernesto Valverde	Atletico Madrid
Messi Xavi	FC Barcelona
Michel Sanchez	Girona

What coach do you think will win this award?

I am pretty sure the Arabs have their hands open to buy the Marseille club following Zidane's interest to join the club. That will be some good investment to go into since the former Real Madrid manager has some track records of earning three successive victories for Madrid in the Champions league from 2016 - 2018. One advantage he had in the Madrid was their market value and squad depth. That's what he will firstly improve on should in case he comes to Marseille club. I am pretty sure he will be more willing to work hard in the Marseille following that it is his hometown club. He will have the zeal and passion to take more leagues with the team but definitely needs the financial wherewithal to perform some magics in the club.


Whether Ancelotti is ready to leave or not, I think the Marseillais coach is ready to give back to his hometown which is one of his dreams to fly the flag of his hometown higher up the sky. But at the same time, Zidane doesn't want to be handicapped with lack of resources which will suffer his management career in the club, hence his agreement to coach the team only if they were ready to sell it off to the middle east state of Saudi Arabia. Sonce the arabs could afford more investment than Frank McCourt. But is Frank ready to let go of the club? Zidane had demanded for a 300 million euros budget to kick off which was approved by the Saudis, he also requested for the club's recruitment, which was accepted. Now everything rests on Marseille being sold by the current owner.

I can imagine what my eye saw, when I watched how Genoa a small Italian club with the market value of just around 5M euros, thrashing the AS Roma whose market value is around 22 million euros. And I'm like what's wrong with the latter club. Why can't Roma at least control and stop some of the goals from happening. The goal margin is just much to me to have find the likes of Romelu Lukaku, at the forward strike, Dybala and other top players playing for the club in the game.

Yesterday's game, puts Genoa ahead of Roma at the league table with a gap of 4 clubs ahead leaving Roma at 16th club in the league. What's then the essence of their squad depth and what was completely wrong with the team yesterday? Checking at their fixtures with Genoa in the past, it used to be a win for the Roma. Now what has changed? Could we say it's the fault of Jose Mourinho? Why couldn't he thrash Genoa like he earlier thrashed Empoli 7:0?

So many questions to be asked over the bad performance of the team yesterday and much is to be expected by the team in the next matches. I don't think Roma is overrated per say but these recent poor performance could put an analyst in the state of dilemma. Jose Mourinho should better wake up as this isn't the time to dysfunction the club and that should not be in his name. This is my many will go for Pep Guardiola instead.

The truth is, Havartz doesn't seem to be in form and I am just wondering why Mickel Arteta is confident in putting him on every game that the club plays, even as subs. I guess it is because he wants to continue to give him the chance to prove himself, yet, Havartz isn't living up to promise.

It's been a while since the Arsenal squad become this formidable and that has increased the strength and motivating spirit of each and every player in the team including those sitting on the bench. That has equally increased the level of competition between players as they work together to deliver the team. In this condition, it is easy to fish out any underperforming player right now.

One thing I respect Arteta for is his spirit of sportsmanship. His dedication to carry everyone along and ginger all the players to focus on the goal. Although he has his favorite players but he has continually shown every player sense of belonging. It is not different from the balance he is shown between Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya. Arteta said he was going to rotate between the two goalkeepers and he has applied that in the previous matches where he used David Raya to play the last three matches against Everton, PSV and Tottenham. Raya actually started the Champions league match against PSV which was quite surprising. Now Arteta went ahead to resume Ramsdale in the yesterday's match against Brentford where Arsenal scored a 1-0 win over Brentford. Meaning, Ramsdale is like to play the next match against Bournemouth and other few matches to come before switching to Raya, again.

I find this, fantastic!
