Sports / Re: Al Hilal Beats Al Nassr to Seal King’s Cup Title as Ronaldo Goes Trophyless by futuregovernor: 10:16am
AImiron:
This is Al Hilal’s second King Cup of Champions title in a row, also securing its third title of the season after winning the Saudi Super Cup and the Saudi Pro League.

It was heartbreak for Cristiano Ronaldo as Al Hilal won the King Cup of Champions after beating Al Nassr 5-4 on penalties in the final on Friday, at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.

Sadio Mane got the first big chance of the match in the sixth minute when he was played through on goal by Ayman Yahya. Mane’s shot however went high and A minute later, Aleksander Mitrovic started proceedings at the other end by heading in a cross from the left side of the six-yard box after meeting a beautiful cross from Malcom

Al Nassr dominated the game for the rest of the half but was kept at bay by Al Hilal’s Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who made a few fantastic saves in the closing stages of the half.

Al Nassr continued its tempo in the second half but still could not find the back of the net, with Ronaldo’s brilliant bicycle attempt striking the right post, two minutes after the restart.

Things got worse for Al Nassr after goalkeeper David Ospina was shown a straight red in the 56th minute for handling the ball outside his penalty area while trying to clear the ball away from Malcom, who was through on goal.

Despite being a man down, Al Nassr continued to trouble Bounou, who refused to let go of his side’s lead, making save after save. Mitrovic had a chance to put the game to bed in the 86th minute, but his shot ended up going wide of the left post.

A minute later, Al Hilal centre-back Ali Albulayhi was sent off for attacking a player with his head while the ball was out for a throw-in. Moments later, Ayman equalised for Al Nassr after heading the ball into the goal from a long throw-in.

Two minutes later, Al Hilal’s other centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly was shown a second yellow for a dangerous foul on the opposition keeper. With nine men, Al Hilal depended on its strength on the bench to hold on in extra time and force penalties, while Al Nassr did not make proper use of its advantage.

Both Ruben Neves and Alex Telles missed the opening penalties for their respective teams, while Ronaldo and Mitrovic stepped up to keep the scoresheet moving. Al Nassr’s second keeper Waleed Abdullah gave his side the advantage after saving Saud Abdulhamid’s penalty in sudden death.

However, Bounou stepped up once again and saved Ali Al Hassan’s penalty to keep his side’s hopes alive. With Nasser Al Dawsari making no mistake in scoring the next penalty for Al Hilal, Bounou capped off an incredible night after saving youngster Meshari Al-Nemer’s penalty to win the match.

Politics / Re: The Aba Killings: What The Military Should Have Done (opinion) by richie240: 10:16am
nikky5:
In the last two decades the Nigeria military has been fighting internal wars on several fronts. The battle against kidnappings, banditry and militia groups got messier in the last few years.

The recent killings of our soldiers in Aba few days ago when the terrorists declared a sit-at-home to celebrate their Biafra Day or whatever was avoidable.

Prior to that day, the IPOB had warned students sitting for the ongoing WAEC exams to remain in their houses and the schools shut. They also sent a warning to a university VC. They were trying to avoid a bloodbath.

[b]I had expected our military to immediately respond to this threat in a show of force with battalion of soldiers and armoured tanks parading all the streets in the south East. I had expected to see the Tucano fighter jets in combat ready mode to forestall any breakdown of law and order. I remember President Olusegun Obasanjo.

These IPOB miscreants enjoy the support of the locals who cheers them whenever they go rampaging on the street on a killing spree.[/b]These evil people do not reneg on their threats or warnings to perpetrate evil. Besides, this is not the first time they have been killing our soldiers. The rate at which these terrorists kill our soldiers in the south east should have put our military on red alert that there will be a confrontation. Our military has been demystified by these IPOB because they have been killing our soldiers without any collateral damage. If the Odi treatment had been applied this nonsense would have stopped.
In my own opinion as a civilian without any military training, it's high the military prioritize the safety of their personnel in any operations. Killers of our soldiers must not go unpunished. There must be consequences for such actions that will send a strong warning to the perpetrators that their action will invite unparalleled retaliation to their community. Killing our soldiers in an unprovoked manner like must stop.
May the souls of our departed gallant soldiers rest in peace.
You made a lot of valid points up there.
cool

Something is wrong with FGN..

Aba Power is also a private organisation...same as many DISCOS...

Why should Aba Power be able to cope in the same economic environment and the other DiSCOS are complaining

NGN 206 to NGN 114 ....the difference is just too much!!!

If the DISCOS can't adjust, despite the epileptic power and dilapidated power infrastructures they have everywhere...they don't have business distributing power in Nigeria. Let serious companies take over.
People in Band B-E under Aba power, are they also paying the same price as the rest of their compatriots under the major 11 DISCO?

Can anyone deny the fact that private companies of capitalism are better than public companies of socialism/progressives and communism? Everyone thought it was somebody’s job so nobody did it, is why socialism and communism are such failures as the Chinese and Russians have realised.

No wonder PDP did much better than useless APC lie lie people.

How long did it take Glo to crash prices after the Obasanjo administration deregulated the telecom sector? Is that what Fayemi and his scamdemic socialists cum pseudo progressives denied us in 2012 by playing politics with the subsidy protesters

Politics / Re: Minimum Wage: Labour Declare Indefinite Nationwide Strike June 3 by SMUTHFX: 10:14am
Oh well, partially right but you need to understand that the government policies made prices of goods and services high...the best the government can do is to subsidize, return subsidy and stop the sharing of conditional cash transfer. Policy and economy implication should be considered before taking any decision that you sure know will affect the masses, construction of coastal roads and allocating funds for it is just a misplaced priority, how many Nigerians live along the coastal line? Anything we do in life let us place our needs first..... food, shelter, electricity clothing should be priority of the government, we’ve all got one life to live and truth be told, i am disappointed in the policy’s of this present government....
IAmHim1:
Hmmm

There is something you really need to understand and I believe you have a well laid foundation to understanding already

You want to know how I know that. It was from what you said

" By paying them wages not enough to enable them afford the basic necessities of life"

No ask yourself, how did the basic necessities of life SUDDENLY become unaffordable??

TA-DA!!

it was once affordable...but guess what...it's no longer affordable...so what the hell happened


Ponder on this in your spare time: The price of food stuffs in the market IS NOT GOING UP. it's the value of money THATS GOING DOWN!!!

that's why too much money is now chasing fewer goods

FIRST,

1) because there is fewer good ie our farmers due to insurgency CANT go back to their farms to produce food crop to feed the local population hence we resort to importation hence reducing the value of our currency further

2) because there is too much money in circulation BECAUSE OF EXCESS LOANS BEING GIVEN OUT!!!

by taking away the loans, the money in the economy is reduced AND if farmers return back to their farm and match the already reduced money with local production, then Nigeria is free from her economic mess
