On the Eve of 9ja Independence Day, Clueless Ole drew 1-1 with Tactless Emery in a Match Flawed with Errors and Mediocrity

As reported, Jim Beglin said " we watching mediocrity tonight" and Peter Drury " yes, they are certainly not top 2". Gone are those days when the prematch heated expectations were met with fiery encounters between both teams. Now, they are empty shells of their old selves like a 59 year old Nigeria still fighting teething problems.

After some close calls and market place efforts, McTominay commandeered a rare brilliance by putting a shot where no eagle could stop. #Xhaka-doom dropped his head and it flew by. For Arsenal, it was a better Saka, young and unbelievably confident that set up Aubameyang. Auba, as usual, slotted home. And it ended that 1-1.

Both teams' playwork were poor, players were poor, officiating also poor, but only VAR stood brilliant.

Emery was tactless, unbecoming, and undoing himself. You need to understand the problem before solving it. Nigeria doesn't and Emery doesn't either, yet they both expect developments and points respectively.

Ole got the DNAs but couldn't continue the lineage feats. Now Lukaku and Sanchez gone, Old trafford is only receding. Like in Nigeria, where APC and PDP ascent and descent guarantee no improvement but recession.

We are all poor, if we can't understand our inhibitions as everyone can trade grammars but few can act the talk. Everyone can kick ball like Pepe but few can score accurately.

See ya soon.

Happy independence and remember a single year can make great the past 59 years. Join the movement of lets-make-Nigeria-Great rather than verbose complainants.

'Ise kekere, owo n la' Less Work: More pay

Actually, that idiomatic expression as often employed in our prayers " Ise kekere, owo nla" can be understood from different perspectives. This is not to decry our elders. They have given varieties of proverbs to suit needs and moments beyond what a motivational book can condensedly give. 'Ai'ni arojinle ni mu iyawo pe oko re ni were nitori pe omo re omo were ni, oun gan fun rare iyawo were ( It's only a lack deep reflection that will make a wife call her husband a mad man because as such her child is the child of a mad man and she is a wife of a mad man). The focal point is the effect this idiomatic prayer has wrought on our social mentality like the musical cliche that has also turned into another idiomatic expression: " Mi o lè wa ku, mo ti gbiyan ju, Moti se iwon ti mo lè se, alubarika alubarika nikoko" ( I can't over-exert myself. I have given it my best shot. God's blessing is significant). That rendition always lowers determinat

A Father Nonetheless

A father should be a hero: gallant, and valiant. That's relatively the social expectation of a father figure. For such structure, fatherhood extends beyond sperming an ovum. That's our expectations. Failure on these expectations sees the society questioning the father of his moral claim on the child. For a mother, there is the unmatchable and unquestionable nine-month sacrifice that any amount of post-birth mishap or misnomer could not erase. The pain a mother passes through during birth is beyond any bearable decibel. Therefore the baggage of expectation is often much on the father, as the mother's nature-induced pain has compensated for anything. When a father fails, the society and the child complain. But, should that mindset be coming from the child without considering other factors? Many a father nowadays desires to be a role model but the gnawing environment saps their realities to pitiable shambles. No excuse for them though but time is hars

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday
