I mentioned flying with a Chinese man from Dubai to Nigeria and he was heading to Kaduna. My confusion was what was a Chinese man going to do in Kaduna? The little conversation I had with him hinted that he was an expatriate. Iโd to even lend him my phone to call his contact person when we landed Lagos.
Now, have you ever wondered why the North is war-plagued? Do you think it was just a coincidence?
The North has a lot of natural resources. So, if the region is a no-go area, they can mine these resources without remitting anything to the government. A senator once raised this concerns during a senate hearing.
They will clandestinely bring in experts to help them mine these resources.
He is not as technical as Bruno Fernandes or Vitinha but he is ready to run 80 miles just to make Messi happy.
I have never seen someone more crazy. ๐ญ
Fabrizio Romano makes 50+ calls a day and works 16-20 hours during transfer windows, sleeping only about 5 hours
He is 33 years old
He has a son named Jack (around 6 years old) Jack loves playing football despite a rare 1-in-a-million immune deficiency disorder
Fabrizio himself dreamed of becoming a professional footballer as a kid but realized he wasn't talented enough, so he switched to journalism
He started writing football articles for small Italian sites at age 16 while still in high school
His very first big scoop in 2011 was Mauro Icardi's move from Barcelona B to Sampdoria, thanks to a tip from an Italian agent
He's an Inter Milan supporter at heart (his hometown club connection)
Speaks at least four languages fluently. Italian (native), English, Spanish, and Portuguese
Joined Sky Sport Italy at age 19
His screen time can hit 17-21 hours on busy days
Built his network by hanging out in Milan hotels with agents and players as a young freelancer.
Players sometimes text him directly asking to leak their desired moves
His father Luigi sparked his initial love for football
Once worked as a waiter in a Rome restaurant before fully diving into journalism
His relentless 16โ20 hour days mean he rarely has full days off with family or friends
His news can instantly shift betting odds on transfers
Broke Bruno Fernandes' move to Manchester United, which exploded his global fame.
Values accuracy over speed and rarely gets things wrong
Made Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his impact as a transfer journalist
His estimated annual earnings are around $3.5โ5 million from social media, journalism gigs, and collaborations
And despite his global stardom, he still does most of the work himself with a tiny team for visuals

Have you ever wanted to be in a particular field and then stuff happened and you diverted to another career entirely?
I believe if any diversion wants to happen, it has to be in line with what you initially want. So that at least, you'll have the liking for it.
For instance, people that weren't pro footballers, but ended up as coaches, might still love their career so much.
Same goes with football journalism.
We don't always get what we want in life.
But the things that can't be taken from us, are our core values.
Our inquisitiveness, work ethics, creative thinking, etc
And even if we don't get our dream career or field.... We can still excel so much in whatever options life throws at us, as long as we keep up our values.
Fabrizio wanted to be a footballer.
Life had other plans for him.
He didn't sulk or lament all day. Or become a sadist.
He instead found a way to make himself a force in the new path that life gave him.
And it paid off.
So today, stop sulking and complaining at what you didn't get.
Look at what you have presently and make up your mind to be the absolute best in it.
And also......
Start today.

Gilbert Chagoury, the most powerful billionaire in Nigeria that doesn't even hold a Nigerian passport, yet his family practically owns the land beneath the feet of Lagosโs elite.
From the Abacha military era to Tinubu Aso Rock, Chagoury is the ultimate ghost-mode billionaire who mastered the art of printing money through pure political leverage.
He was born in Lagos to Lebanese parents, and he built an empire by becoming the trusted financial confidant to military boys (allegedly)
Survived massive international asset forfeitures, and pivoted to become the primary mastermind behind the Eko Atlantic City reclamation project.
Studying the Chagoury blueprint proves that real, generational wealth in Nigeria isn't about selling consumer goods or chasing tech startups
It is about holding the master key to state-level infrastructure, making yourself completely indispensable to whoever sits in Aso Rock.

This is the Barcelona obsession we are talking about. Whatever Barcelona want, we also want.
Real Madrid never wanted to sign Bernardo Silva initially. They are signing him just because Barcelona wanted him.
They rushed to sign Dumfries on a desperate 4-year deal for a 30-year-old player, just to make sure he doesn't end up at Barcelona.
The same way they want to sign Gvardiol after learning that Flick's preferred option is Gvardiol and not Bastoni or Schlotterbeck.
They submitted a โฌ150m bid for Alvarez and publicly announced it (when do clubs start doing that?) just because they don't want him to end up at Barcelona and make the deal complicated.
Now they are pushing to sign Marc Cucurella just because Barcelona also wanted him.
This is how they signed Arda Gรผler and most of their legends. This is not normal; it is an acute obsession. Always wanting to block Barcelona by all possible means.
A supposed 'biggest club' doesn't have a project other than blocking its rival. This is an example of the theory of people who have forgotten themselves
YouTube just signed a deal with FIFA. She made $8,400 that weekend.
She's 22. She doesn't watch soccer. She's never been to a game.
She read one sentence on the YouTube blog. "Official partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup." That was enough.
The math she did on her phone, in bed, at midnight:
YouTube pays $1 000 to $5 000 per million views on soccer content. The algorithm is about to push soccer harder than it has ever pushed anything. The World Cup is 18 months away.
She opened Claude. Asked for a viral World Cup script. Pasted the prompt into AI Playground. Three minutes later she had a 4k hype reel. Stadium shots, flags, slow-motion goal.
She uploaded it before she fell asleep.
It did 2.1 million views by Sunday. The next one did 4.6 million. The third one cracked 11 million because the algorithm had decided she was a soccer channel now.
She doesn't know the offside rule. She has never seen a full match. Her group chat doesn't know she runs the channel.
The corporate press release went out on a Tuesday. By Friday she had a system. By the following month she was making more than her mom.
Everyone read the same headline.
She was the one who opened a second tab.
Why are Nigerians๐ณ๐ฌ like this?
You came to Russia ๐ท๐บto study but refused to go to class and pay school fee.
You decided to go work and send money home to build houses, instead of paying school fee.
Even when you come to class, you are always making noise.
One of the schools in Russia ๐ท๐บ is already contemplating banning Nigerian students, same way they banned Egyptian ๐ช๐ฌstudent.
People already in Russia ๐ท๐บ are blaming me for sharing info. They said too many people are ruining their chances now.

Yaya Tourรฉ launches scathing attack on 2026 World Cup preparations:
โ2 days to the World Cup, and all this is happening. This is what you get when you allow a non-football nation to host the World Cup. Blame Americans for their weather, not even God.
Maybe itโs time for the big players to boycott the World Cup or send a strong message like the German team did. This is completely unacceptable. FIFA should never have awarded the hosting rights to the United States, knowing their strict immigration policies and history. The visa denials, travel restrictions, and blatant organisational failures are a disgrace.
- Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied entry despite holding a valid visa.
-Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein and the national team photographer were turned back.
-Fourteen members of Iranโs backroom staff were denied visas.
-Moroccan fans with tickets were detained and aggressively questioned.
-African and Iranian journalists are facing major accreditation blocks.
-Even Uzbekistan & Senegalese players were subjected to intense scrutiny at checkpoints. Everything points towards American racism and a clear lack of fighting instinct to treat every participating nation equally.
On top of all that, artificial pitches, hotel prices are extortionate, travel costs are ridiculous, and there are serious security issues including gun violence near host cities and suspicious disruptions around team facilities.
FIFA has remained shamefully silent throughout this mess. They are failing to protect the interests of all nations and players. This World Cup is starting to feel neither accessible nor welcoming, itโs turning into a complete embarrassment.โ
From Blaqwit Footy Tales
Thomas Muller was actually very underrated, someone said few days ago if he had played in the generation like 70โs he will be regarded as one of the greatest strikers and itโs quite true. Heโs nicknamed der Raumdeuter which means (the 'interpreter of space). Heโs the most decorated Bayern player in history, 13x Bundesliga, 2x UCL, 1 World Cup, another 3rd place with golden boot, record assist season in Europe.
The funny thing about Mรผller is that even after all of that, people still struggle to explain what made him special. He wasnโt the fastest, wasnโt the strongest, wasnโt the best dribbler, and he never looked technically flawless like some of the gameโs icons. Yet season after season he kept producing goals, assists, and winning trophies. A true icon of the game.
Thereโs no nation on earth currently blocking Western imperialism (led by the U.S.) and nationalizing its resources that you will visit today and a kg of cooking gas will cost as much as $1.
China is ~$.50
Russia is ~ $0.65
Iran ~ $0.35
Nigerians, with a monthly minimum wage of $50, are paying almost $2 for a kg of cooking gas.
A few weeks ago, these same Nigerians were supporting US military aggression towards Iran, and welcoming US intervention in their own country.
I have never seen this type of thing in my life before.

Ikon Allah Academy in Nigeria sold him to AIK for 750,000 pounds. In less than a year, Brighton is buying him for 21.5m pounds after playing only 18 matches for AIK and scoring 5 goals with 4 assists.
He is the highest valued Nigerian young talent ever. Mikel Obi was bought 16m pounds. That's the tally.
Something broke me in the midst of this celebration, what if Ikon Allah had benefitted the 21.5m pounds? He was nurtured and buttered there but AIK is taking the greatest share due to lack of sports development in Nigeria. Our Youth population is more than 88m, a net football talent of it can't be less than 2m legs. Imagine if this haven is developed for foreign export.
Some of us are here to get these things better but it seems the worse or worse always get the opportunity to drive.
