My dad never ever flies with any of his sons or allow his sons fly or travel long distance together.

I feel gutted for his family, this has to be rough. I understand his wife and son were in the chopper.

RIP

I know a family too his kids never board the same bus to school

Maybe he was going for superbowl

Life sha. You escape all the rigors of youths sort yourself. When he should be enjoying everything he worked for death strikes

I hope his kids are older sha and able to take charge of his business

His legacy deserves to be preserved

I think its time to use these fintech platforms

I have been procrastinating lately.

Since the cash crunch drama in January 2023, I only use fintech apps for everyday transactions. First time in weeks of transferring to a traditional bank vendor account on a weekend, got debited but seller isn't credited.

Of course, Nigerian vendors don't care. I'd have to pay regardless via any means while sorting out the issues myself during the weekdays or wait 72 hours.

Actions have consequences everywhere

We cannot use our oil fortunes to create shell companies for harvesting subsidy proceeds

Sell oil income of the future to spend today

Service debts with 90% of income and think it won't have repercussions

I repeat the problem with this government is not it's policies. The problem is that members of the government are acting on personal interest and 'emi lokan' mentality. It is expected because of their general criminal tendencies to loot.

Exactly what I wanted to post. These people are hellbent on gaslighting that they'd finger a Peter Obi who left public office years ago for the rot they caused.

From "What would Peter Obi have done differently?" to "Peter Obi is responsible for everything going on".

Ibime xavi and Kroos, who is a better passer and better midfielder

Ibime xavi and Kroos, who is a better passer and better midfielder

Kroos that can't win a possession battle against 20% of the teams he faces

Xavi midfield only went below 50% possession in one match from 2006 to 2014. That's 8 years undefeated in midfield work except for one occasion

He said Peter Obi has 1trillion dollas stashed away....that means Obi is the richest man in the world?

Just as tinubu made that careless statement that we should not be concerned with the rise of dolla cos we don't purchase in dollas over here, the supporters too no get shame. Smh.

I see so when xavi was taken out of the system in Barcelona, did they stop winning possession?

Xavi controls the midfield and dictates play, who be kroos? Smh.

liveLongNprospa:

Yes the percentage of matches where they no longer have majority possession has increased to maybe 5% or 10% from 0%

Ibime:

Lmao so a 5% increase from 2014 till 2023 shows that xavi was not the system but part of the system.
So that kills your original point.

Now let's talk midfielder to midfielder.
Who is better?
I have my stats to back up Kroos.
From chances creation to passing completion to final 3rd passes to defensive contributions. He is a controller who plays in the deepest part of the midfield.

What do you have for me for xavi

I just tried to transfer to a Polaris Bank account, but Kuda showed "recipient bank have network issue", i asked for another account, the lady gave me palmpay and transaction went through instantly. All conventional banks should go ask this fintech bank how they do it...

Corn logic: Let's ignore the obvious tainting lie spewed by a support group of our party to focus on telling the opposition not to complain Peter Obi wasn't the only one mentioned in the lie.

TrebleChamp:
Xavi Hernandez

How?
Nor call. Name.

Tell me how?
One person played in a possession based system.
Another has played and dictated how madrid plays in arguably any system of football.

So how is xavi better?

Did Xavi career start from 2006? One played for Madrid that doesn't care about possession football while one plays for Barca. Swap both players and kroos will slot right in at Barca while Xavi will struggle at Madrid. Was he not about to be thrown away from Barca before Pep came in with his possession football that revived his career.

Chief no argue this one, Xavi was the reason Barcelona and Spain played "tikitaka" possession football to good effect, as soon as he left both teams tikitaka died. Xavi Hernandez was a midfield Controller-General.....

Lmaoo but Barcelona continued being a possession based team for years even after xavi left.
Infact you'd say they died when iniesta left sef than xavi😁

Emaprince also just confirmed Opay is having the same issue

So wetin you go call Kroos then?

What is something xavi does better than kroos?
They are practically the same when it comes to ball retention and 1st touches.
Kroos maintains a higher percentage of passes completed and also has more chances created than xavi in UCL.
Infact Kroos dey create more chances than Messi for UCL.
Nobody has beaten him.

Kroos is a high volume passer even when madrid isn't a possession based team.
Kroos is also more defensive than xavi.
So again explain.
Kroos has been more consistent than xavi.
Infact before 2006, how many times did you really hear of xavi?
In the world cup they both won, both of them delivered for their national teams.

It's funny and laughable until you realize the group is chiefly a Northern group where the majority take what their thought leaders saying without questioning it.

And if you can spread the narrative to the unlearned man who has the same voting rights as you that Peter Obi has trillions stacked away which he hasn't made available to the hungry man, it begins to take shape.

And it's hard to change a core Northern man's perception once it forms. Elections would be here soon and he and his horde would vocalize it.

Remember how the rumour of Obi chasing non-Igbos away from Anambra as Governor raised its head during the campaigns? It started as a rumour a decade and a half before.
