1  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR NIGERIAN MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS on: January 19, 2026, 04:27:56 PM
It's high time we give attention to our medical practitioners. A whole lot of atrocities, wickedness, carelessness, and negligence perpetrated by them is appalling. Sadly, they get away with all these.

The funny thing is that these people, when they relocate abroad, they are nice, professional and tolerant with patients. I wonder why they act the way they do in Nigeria and get away with it. Our government is not even taking them serious. So sad.
Nigeria government don't care about their citizens and they could not be able to rise up to challenge this doctors, because they don't care about them, they are no paying them the way they supposed to pay which is why doctors do what they like and go free, definitely if you are being paid well, you will make sure you try your best in doing the job. Despite doctors are not being paid very well that doesn't guarantee them to treat people anyhow, most especially doctors that are working under public hospitals meaning doctors that are being paid through government, to be honest they are not trying their best because they believe that anything they do they must be paid at the end of the month. Honestly if you want to enjoy any treatment, you have to go to private hospitals but the main issue is that money is the problem and not everyone can afford that.

I am totally afraid of the era we are living in now because killing without any excuse is seriously happening now, and the only reason why all these will continue without a break is because the best judgment is not being carried out, what I mean by all this is because someone will kill a person now and give that particular person six months to one year you will still see him moving freely with out any issues. Instead of killing anyone who kill a person, they end up putting him or her on sentence like life imprisonment or they will give him some years, and after all, they will end up giving him so called presidential pardon, this is the reason why criminality is increasing everyday, because they have seen people that had done it and they are free, many criminals have the same thought that is why they don't see that as lesson.

I'm favoring Inter to win this match because they'll be playing at home. Furthermore, Arsenal will likely be without their full squad, having already qualified for the round of 16. So, Arteta will undoubtedly rotate his players, and Inter can capitalize on this to win this match, especially as they desperately need six points from their final two matches to qualify directly for the round of 16 without having to go through the playoffs.

Knowing the Arsenal manager, I highly doubt he'll rotate the team, and even if he did, Arsenal has so many good players that it's hard to tell who's from the A team and who's from the B team. They have many skillful players, and the Arsenal manager won't miss a good chance to win this game because it would make history for Arsenal, as it would be their best result ever in European competitions seven consecutive Champions League wins, something Arsenal would be achieving for the first time if I'm not mistaken. So I highly doubt the Arsenal manager won't play very seriously.
This particular match will be very interesting and which I also choose as the tough match of the week, because both teams are the top team on the table in their home League, this match is beyond the Champions League alone because it's two major league that are playing together, arsenal did a very wonderful job against Bayern Munich which the succeeded in winning that particular match, now they are about to face a team from Serie A which is also currently at the top of the table, i saw so many people are favoring inter Milan in this match, what I think their reason may be is because they will be hosting arsenal, inter Milan don't joke when it comes to playing at home.

This is another clear evidence that you can play so good and well in the entire match and still lose when you fail to convert the chances that you create. As shown here that Real sociedad has only four shots on target and scored two goals and Barcelona has nine and scored only one goal. Number of passes, and ball possession all are nothing if you don't win at the end of the match.
This is what normally happen to show us that football all about luck, i did not pay much attention to this game because I don't see real sociedad a threat for Barcelona, because i consider Barcelona as the best team in La Liga now which was why I cannot give it much attention. Real sociedad remind me that the hosted Barcelona and they can also defeat them no matter they are performance.

I have given so much confidence in Barcelona that they will not give Real Madrid a chance to win this title, but what a surprised. Instead of having 4 point difference now it can reduce to a point, which is very dangerous for Barcelona to maintain because assuming it is another club that are behind, I will confidently say that there's no any issue, but now that Real Madrid are waking up, I don't think Barcelona will find it easy anymore.

Aston Villa didn't expect to get beaten by Everton of all teams at the Villa Park, ending their eleven home straight wins and their 35 unbeaten run. Everton have failed to win against Aston Villa over a decade at the Villa Park so this win wasn't just stopping Aston Villa from 2nd place, it was also a history maker for the Everton fans and players.
 Man City and Aston Villa have lost their games, further giving breathing space to the Gunners but I feel it would be much more better if they keep winning their games and not look at what their competitors are doing.
Arsenal has received a lot of favors to win this Premier League, both Manchester City and Aston Villa are having the same point and they are seven points away from Arsenal, honestly it is just let for arsenal coach to do what he has to do to maintain this gap so that they will put smile on the face of their fans this season. Currently arsenal are having their best performance in all the competitions they are playing now, I wish all the best so that people will start respecting them most especially champions league.

Immediately I saw the result of this match, I'm totally surprised because as the match will be played at Villa Park, I did not even bother to watch because I know Aston Villa don't joke when it comes to playing at Villa Park but unfortunately Everton make things hard for them. This is why I said Premier League is very difficult to predict because aston Villa has hosted top teams and they get away with it but when it's comes to Everton it was a different thing entirely.

With the level of sluggishness I saw yesterday I don't think Arteta is going to win all the titles they're competing for, it could happen but I feel the Gunners are just going to panic and yesterday they did panic against Nottingham.
There’s no way Arsenal will win all the four trophies they’re competing for, that’s not realistic at all. They had a clear opportunity to pick up more points in the league, but they couldn’t even get it done against a mid team like Nottingham Forest.
To be honest, I already had that feeling they were going to draw that match. Arsenal have this habit of disappointing when you expect them to win comfortably. Once the pressure is on, they start struggling, and that’s exactly what happened.
Honestly this is a difficult tax for Arsenal, I would like to agree with all what you have said, because winning all the four trophies honestly it's a huge tax for them, I don't think they can be able to do it because their resources are Limited, what I will only advice is that, they should try their best in winning all the matches, but anyone that they found difficult apart from Champions League and Premier League they have to leave that one so that it will not affect their performance now in other composition. What I just want them to win among the four trophies are Premier League and Champions League, most especially Champions League so that they can be able to to win it for the first time in their career.

Udinese vs Inter 0-0 now

The match has just started and it's still 0-0, but Inter have started very strongly and aggressively.
The first leg ended with a victory for Udinese at San Siro. Who knows if Udinese will manage to stop or beat Inter again today.
However, Inter must win to stay at the top of the table.
All things being equal as both teams won in away matches, even before this match i was so scared for Inter Milan for what Udinese did at San Siro by scoring 2 goals, it was a big surprise to me because of the confidence I have for Inter Milan, but later I realized that Serie A are also full of surprises like Premier League, bottom team will come from nowhere to win top team. I actually supported inter Milan despite their last match against each other, because I want them to maintain the top so that it will be an equal position when they are facing arsenal in Champions league. It will be so nice to test for top teams in different league, Premier League and Serie A, this is going to be an interesting match.

Even this year Real Madrid are far from winning the Champions League. Even though Real Madrid focuses on the Spanish league, they can't compete with Barcelona because Real Madrid's performance is on a decline, and since they are losing to the teams they are supposed to win flawlessly, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to compete with Barcelona for the Spanish league title. Real Madrid should leave winning any major trophy this season and focus on rebuilding their team.
I don't have any confidence for Real Madrid to win both champions League or la Liga this season because their performance has decline and I don't really know if they can be able to make things happened before the end of the season. Currently both competition are occupied with tough teams, in La Liga Barcelona is there and I don't see anything they can be able to do which will make Barcelona to leave that position now, the honestly if you check Barcelona's performance now it is growing day by day. When you talk of Champions League there are many teams that are capable to stop Real Madrid, teams like Arsenal, bayern Munich, PSG and also Barcelona, I don't see any hope for Real Madrid to lift trophy this season again, but since the season is still far let's see how it goes.

Manchester City are still in the title race despite their defeat against Manchester United as there are still many games remaining.
With a gap of just seven points over Arsenal, Manchester City still has a chance to win the title. Manchester City must improve their performance and avoid dropping any more points in their remaining matches. If the gap with Arsenal exceeds 10 points, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to catch the Premier League trophy. But honestly, this season is very difficult for Manchester City to win the Premier League trophy. Not only must they perform well and not drop points in many of their remaining matches, but they also have to hope Arsenal also drops points in many of their remaining matches.
For the past previous Seasons now only Manchester City is the only team that normally finds their way to win the trophy, that was why they are able to win it for almost four consecutive seasons. I'm not convinced with the seven points away from Arsenal, because manchester City always know how to find their way out, I still have confidence in them despite their performance. If arsenal can maintain their consistency, I'm very confident that nothing Manchester City can do to push them away. Currently arsenal are live for all the four trophies, and they are having their best time in all.

After Manchester United won Manchester City and gave Arsenal a chance to increase the point gap with Manchester City, I thought Arsenal would beat Nottingham Forest flawlessly last night, but it's so surprising that Arsenal couldn't make use of the chance that was given to them by Manchester United. Arsenal should be sure of winning the Premier League title first before they talk about winning four trophies this season.
We were having the same thinking, I also thought that as now definitely there are much against Nottingham Forest but unfortunately they could not, they try as much as they can to secure the three points but they ended up sharing the point. Most of Arsenal fans were very happy because Manchester City was defeated against Manchester United. I was having a discussion with Arsenal fans today that the tension of Manchester City have reduced now it's now Aston Villa but he said that it is not necessary to even worry about Aston Villa because because they cannot resist the challenge up to the end of the season.

It just took one terrific play from Mbeumo that ruined the scoreline between Man United and Man City, the scoreline is 1-0 with Man United winning. United took that same intensity from the first half and City is actually suffering, Donnarumma has been cleaning City's ass since this second half begun and finally Mbeumo got the better of him. This United performance was not expected.
Manchester United shocked me. I wasn't expecting that from Manchester United as I underestimated them because I thought Manchester city would win. Another goal from Manchester United has been scored by P.Dorgu. The scoreline is now Manchester United 2-0 against city. p.dorgu goal will likely guarantee Manchester United victory in this match. City defense is weak and in cast the blame to pep guardiola for city weak defense. Manchester United victory will prevent city from closing the gap between them and Arsenal
Honestly Manchester United just surprise everyone, my question now is that could we start to be afraid of Manchester United with the result of this match? Based on my own view this is football and anything can happen before this particular match most people don't have confidence in Manchester United because of what they played against wolves in the same venue. Manchester United did very well to defeat Manchester City despite their inconsistency but I don't believe in there wonderful performance, until i see one or two matches again with a very good performance then I'll finalize that man United has come back again.

I don't agree with you, Borussia Dortmund should focus on first place, in terms of the score they still have a chance of reaching Bayer Munich, it's certainly not an easy feat but they have to try, lately they have been improving their performance on the pitch and this could help them climb the points.
Bayer have an important advantage with this gap, this could still change (I know it will be difficult) but nothing is impossible, if they arrive with this gap at the end of the season even on matchday 30, obviously no one will be able to overcome it anymore, but I repeat again the weather could help Dortmund, but we need more than the time.

Technically Dortmund will of course aim so. But do you really think they can achieve that? Let's accept the facts here. No way Bayern Munich are losing that lead from now on.  Tongue

There is a huge gap between the way these 2 teams play this season. Nobody is as productive as Bayern Munich in the first place. On the other hand, Dortmund still make silly point losses in comfortable games on paper...
There are matters who does not require argument because it have already been cleared, just like bayern Munich winning the league this season, currently bayern Munich is leading with an interval of 11 points ahead of borussia Dortmund. With the current performance of Bayern Munich I don't expect them to lose form to the extent that borussia Dortmund our take them on the table, honestly the gap is a very big one which I don't think any team can cover all that in one season. The only team that can be able to do it which they could not make it again this season is Borussia Dortmund
16  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Rivers state and it's political crisis on: January 16, 2026, 02:42:07 PM
The crisis in the political sector of rivers state is as a result of the collaboration of some past leaders from rivers state and current government officials all because of 2027 general election. In Nigeria now quest for superiority and godfatherism is a very big challenge that contributes majorly to the downfall of Nigeria''s economic structure, how will an incumbent governor request for percentage in the current administration because he played a vital role in the selection of candidates. Apart from that also 2027 general election is also one of the problems as they are fighting relentlessly to take over rivers state because of there resources.
Before today I was expecting that the River crisis will surely comes to an end, when almost four of the state assembly members withdraw from proceeding the investigation against their governor and his deputy, which I was so happy that a good development is coming, this afternoon state Assembly members conduct a sitting proposing to proceed with the investigation which voted and unfortunately the majority or almost all the members voted for the proceeding with the investigation against the governor and deputy governor.

Honestly our leaders are not sincere at all instead of representing us they are busy protecting their own interest serving someone who they should not serve, what is the problem of our leaders, selfish interest has cover all their mind, which was why all these things is going this way, but let's see they are claiming that the governor has Bridge the constitution right, they have to punish him, who in this Nigeria that is even following this constitution, honestly when it's against them they follow constitution but when it favour them they keep quiet.
17  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Nigeria government hired a lobbyist on: January 16, 2026, 10:24:48 AM
This is unbelievable and honestly I am highly disappointed at what Nigeria government is doing and this is a cleared that they are not going to back down, meaning Nigerian government is not ready to protect life and properties of their citizens. With the look of things I don't think it should be a big problem for them to face their challenges and also use the money they wasted in paying those lobbies  to correct some things. If this is true honestly we are in a big trouble because our government will continue to waste money so that they will be a very good one in the eyes of America.

The 22nd round of matches in the English Premier League will begin in a few days. The first match will be between Manchester United and Manchester City. There's usually no clear favorite in these competitive matches. We can say that both teams have a high probability of winning. Manchester United has the advantage of playing at home against Manchester City. However, it must be admitted that Manchester City has a better squad. I think we'll see a good match.

Even though Manchester United have the advantage of playing at home, it is certainly not for this reason that they will win and Manchester City's squad is clearly better, without ifs and buts, this team will surely win, even if it must be said that a derby is always a match in itself.
Do you know one thing a team must be good before they can cheat on their behalf, Manchester United does not fit that position because the referee or officials will land themselves in trouble. When team is seriously going through a lot, but Manchester United is far behind compared the performance of Manchester City. Play at home is a great advantage but in the case of Manchester United I found it difficult to favor them in that aspect.

Manchester City is far far better than wolves, and Manchester United could not be able to defeat wolves, at that time they were playing very well compared to what they are doing now. If I'm asked to choose among these two teams honestly I will Manchester City because even though they lose, it will not be a surprise to me.
