@JudithPearce1 @winexviv Perfectly said.. I would suggest a proper 6-month internship to have an idea of the business side, before funding.

I suggest an incubator style settlement in the first one year, where they will be camped together in an incubator (Call it IGBA Hub or whatever) Instead of giving them a big amount on cash, give them 20% cash as working capital and 80% for the procurement of quality tools for the jobs anticipated. The advantage is economies of scale in the procurement of original tools, close monitoring/ supervision in the first year after graduation to ensure quality control, nipping questionable attitude/ behavior to work etc.

So this is how we are thinking of redesigning the Igbo apprenticeship program “Igba boy”. For the pilot program, we will likely take in 200 persons to engage in the training on global quality carpentry, bricklaying, tilling, plumbing, HVAC, POP and electricals. The trainees will engage in an intensive 1 year program which they will be housed and fed. No holidays during the program. An additional 3 months will be on business and commercialization. Once they complete the cohort and they meet the standards set, they will be settled with a good amount of money to build on the business arm of their skills. Those who don’t meet up will be dropped off from the program. We will be visiting training centers in Togo and Germany in the coming weeks to solidify our plans and training partnerships. Let’s brainstorm… what do you think?

@winexviv Great idea. I feel 200persons are too much for a start, finance and trainings might not be intensive as it should be if they're lesser. I suggest we start with 100 people and scale subsequently and there should be a 6month internship where they understand the business part .

@winexviv Masonry is a very important aspect that should be included and since most Igbos are into trading, I feel financial management should be an annual seminar to educate them more. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR INITIATIVES

We are about to design a new model of Igbo Apprenticeship Education “Igba boy”. We will run the pilot program this year. We are starting with carpentry, tilling, plumbing and electrical. When succeeds, we will produce highly skilled talents at a scale never have seen before.

@CitehSide Many fans that do not understand anything about football will disagree with this.

EXTEND HIS CONTRACT NOW!!!!!

@CitehSide This guy is AMAZING!!!! Should be rated with players like Mbappe, but it's Pep that's killing his shine

Did you guys notice that most of these contributions came whenever he was operating on those inside-channels, instead of cutting inside from out wide?

@CitehSide @ManCity @PepTeam For his age and contract left, 50-60m.

@gambflash @ManCity @PepTeam Lmaoooo we need good money for him.

@ManCity , @PepTeam, @CitehSide. This guy is tired of the team. HE MUST BE SOLD..

@CitehSide @manson_favour Bring someone from the academy or buy a very cheap player, that would learn and grow

@manson_favour Directly slots in but we still would need to buy somebody to fill up the squad.

Two questions for you: 1. What would be the expected fee we would get for Rodri if he leaves this summer? 2. Who would be your ideal replacement? Preferably name a holding midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker. Let me know or vent it out. (No context around uploading Nico Gonzalez's photo)

@CitehSide I so much love Rodri, but he just acted in an unprofessional manner and the club must sell him, to be a deterrent to other players

Rodri is getting absolutely blasted by the entire fanbase and I don't know why I am enjoying it.

@FutballHQ_ You must be high. Zubimendi CAN NEVER BENCH RODRI.

@CitehSide @xpi3on6age9 If I find out you're Pep, I'm receiving my Agent fees 🤣🤣

@xpi3on6age9 You will never know, my bro😂💪🏻👊🏻

I have been thinking about this piece of brilliance by Pep Guardiola to neutralize Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. The strategy deployed was a perfect example that there’s a quiet kind of control in football that doesn’t look like control at all. Let me explain. A 4-2-4 out of possession (OOP), almost no high press, and yet the opponent never really settles. The front four don’t chase, they wait. They block, they angle, they suggest space where there isn’t any. Centre-backs are invited forward, and as they do, the front-four becomes narrow to push them backwards. As the Arsenal centre-backs or even Kepa, try to pass to the full-backs, our wingers (in particular: Semenyo and Doku) would try to press them to cut off those passing lanes. Again, the centre-backs/goalkeeper are forced backwards, and with this toxic front-four of ours choking their "short-passing" lanes, and hence, Arsenal were forced to go long. These long balls usually turned into "no substance" passes, as Arsenal's front-four was tightly marked by our back-four, leading to duels, which increased the probability to hold onto possession and increased our chances for a turnover. Tactically, against teams that insist on building from the back without the technical security to do it well, this approach is ruthless. It doesn’t fight possession, it poisons it. This is not passive defending. It’s a trap, that too, a deadly one. Another day, another lesson💪🏻

@ElepoSabo @ruffydfire Why don't you start riding a Keke and make same amount. USELESS PERSON

@ruffydfire It's true but did u know how much transport driver also make,local government and state government and some government agencies also get from this money not only the nurtw cause am close to some branch chairman.

Message sent to me As a kẹkẹ driver, i pays both ROAD and NURTW EVERYDAY, ROAD - 1200, NURTW - 1600, MONITORING - 200 WELCOME TO IKORODU/IGBOGBO- 200 each, COUNCIL-200 ENVIRONMENTAL - 200 MARKER - ANYWHERE YOU FACE YOU PAY. So who does all these taxes go to

I’m actually not okay. nothing interests me anymore. I’m so fucked!!!

@CitehSide , check this also. Pls nobody should compare him to Rice again

@CitehSide , check this out.... I'm a bit Surprised

@winexviv The S.E maths development is the foundation, the organized, certified apprenticeship is the future of S.E and Africa. This is a generational idea. I would suggest, they are funded to work & learn from producing nations (Japan, Germany etc), this perfects the initiative.

Germany didn’t become an industrial powerhouse by sending everyone to university. They built something smarter. It’s called Ausbildung, a structured apprenticeship system where young people earn while they learn inside real companies. A 17-year-old in Germany can train to become: • a mechatronics engineer • an industrial technician • an automotive systems expert • a precision machinist • a medical equipment technician They are paid during training. They graduate with globally respected skills. And many of them end up earning more than university graduates. Over 50% of German youth pass through this system. Now look at Nigeria. We push everyone into universities. Millions graduate every year. But the country is still importing basic technical expertise. We have degrees but we don’t have enough skills. This is why we are studying the German Ausbildung model closely to implement in the South East. Because the South East must lead Africa’s skills revolution. Imagine a structured apprenticeship system across Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Enugu and beyond where young people can train to become: • industrial fabricators • automotive engineers • robotics technicians • electronics specialists • renewable energy installers • precision manufacturing experts Training will happen inside real companies. With structured certification, modern tools and clear career paths. Not the informal “Igba Boy” system, but a world-class apprenticeship ecosystem. The South East already has the largest concentration of indigenous manufacturers and traders in Africa. What we need now is structure, technology, and certification. If Germany can power Europe’s manufacturing through apprenticeships, there is no reason the South East cannot power Africa’s industrial future. The next generation of millionaires in Africa will not only be software founders. Many will be master craftsmen, engineers, and industrial builders. And when Africa finally fixes its skills crisis, history may remember that the revolution started in the South East.

@Shieldfeist @FabrizioRomano Name 2Superstar player Pep bought?? Every player he bought aside Haaland, had no significant name

@FabrizioRomano How many of those titles are a direct result of Man City paying agents and relations of players, under the table to influence the transfer of the best players to them? He’s a great coach, but City’s achievements are tainted and will EVER be so.

🚨🏆 Pep Guardiola: "19 titles in 10 years at Manchester City, in the modern era, in England, in Europe… …I think it's a hats off to the whole organisation”.

@Utd_warrior @TouchlineX Ferguson didn't just break transfer records, also had the Queens backing, which gave him favour from the referees(Fergie Time)... PURE CHEAT

Sir Alex built dynasties from scratch in a far tougher era: no FFP loopholes, no oil money inflating squads, no state-backed projects. He won 13 Premier Leagues against stronger competition overall (prime Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, early City), managed through multiple eras, and did it while blooding through youth academies and rotating stars without a bottomless wallet.

🚨 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧: Pep Guardiola is the second coach in football history to reach 40 official titles as a manager. • 49 trophies Sir Alex Ferguson (39 year career). • 40 trophies Pep Guardiola (17 year career).

@CitehSide After today's match, Bernardo Silva deserves every minute of play he gets. Arsenal players and fans were confused which position he actually played today

One thing that I noticed during the entire game, it wasn't something we did on-the-ball, but it was our out-of-possession (OOP) structure. We have seen variants of 4-4-2 being adopted for almost the whole season, but today, Pep did something different by deploying a 4-2-4. Here's why he did that: - First, the structure was designed to cut off the supply line from Arsenal’s defense into midfield. The front four positioned themselves intelligently to block passing lanes, forcing Arsenal’s backline into hesitant or sideways circulation rather than clean vertical progression. - Second, the team executed an intense front-line press. The forwards applied immediate pressure on the ball carrier, aiming either to force Arsenal backwards or to rush them into playing long balls, which were largely ineffective and easily dealt with. - Third, this approach aligned with the broader tactical pattern this season: a consistent commitment to high pressing (along with a high-line, obviously). By winning possession high up the pitch, the side maximized attacking opportunities while keeping Arsenal pinned deep in their own half. - All this, while Rodri and Bernardo were pinned to Rice and Zubimendi. It was total suffocation, basically cutting the main artery of Arsenal's IP structure, which was one of the main reasons why Arsenal were forced only into playing long-balls, which landed straight back to our players, and we regained possession in many cases. It was an amazing OOP performance, in terms of discipline and execution. Let me know of your thoughts.
