Another group of South Africans has reportedly been chased out of a restaurant in Mozambique, with the owner telling them to return home and enjoy their vacation in their own country.
Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.
Fizeram um compilado de 4 minutos mostrando os lances em que a Argentina foi favorecida contra o Egito.
Simplesmente um escândalo mundial. Quanta sujeira envolvida. 🤢
Many people don’t know this, but the crossed-arms “X” signal is FIFA’s universal gesture for reporting racist abuse.
When a player, coach, or team official makes that signal, they’re informing the referee that racist abuse has occurred. It is meant to trigger FIFA’s three-step anti-racism protocol: first stop the match, then suspend it if the abuse continues, and ultimately abandon the match if it doesn’t stop.
Today, Egypt manager Hossam Hassan made the “X” gesture from the touchline. Instead of initiating the protocol, the referee booked Hassan with a yellow card and allowed play to continue.
🥵 The round of 16 clash between Argentina and Egypt was full of controversy. 👀

"Ali Modu Sheriff Started the Boko Haram in Borno State. He provided funds & had a governorship reelection deal with them in 2003--Femi Falana challenged him to Sue.
If this was Ronaldo’s last game for Portugal, he leaves having played most international games in history (233), scored most international goals (146), and become the only man to score in SIX different World Cups. Congrats, @cristiano - you’ve done your country & family so proud.
It is wake up time Nigeria. If the people do not rise now, press a reset knob and take back their country from the kind of people who now dominate the political class, real disaster which makes the frightening excesses of today seem like kindergarten rhymes, looms
Many I spoke to in the last 3 days are stunned by the impunity of fiscal rascality of those running Nigeria revealed by the IMF. I am scandalized that they are shocked. The trouble of Nigeria is not that bandits hijacked the state but that we watched it happen. Complicit elite
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
I don’t interview guests to embarrass them. I interview them to test arguments. If an explanation can’t withstand scrutiny, the public deserves to know.
Comparing a fake agency scandal - along with a governance breakdown involving official institutions - to 9/11 isn’t an answer, it’s a distraction.
9/11 was a catastrophic terrorist attack. What Nigerians are asking about is institutional accountability. Those are not the same conversation. When we blur them, we don't illuminate the truth - we detract from it. There's a difference between explaining a failure, and excusing one.
Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s clear many of us still believe in one simple thing: asking hard questions, and refusing to let bad analogies replace accountability.
Journalism isn't about winning arguments. It's about refusing to let bad arguments replace accountability. That’s the job!
“They took away the heart of Igbo land from where it truly belongs and forced generations to deny their own identity” - Igbo elder on Rivers state origin
This is so true. Though I am not from Edo, I remember everything Idris said here like it happened yesterday.
I liked Oshiomhole. I felt bad when his mandate was stolen. Today, the same Oshiomhole who once rated Obi as one of the best governors says otherwise.
This is not politics. It's pure deceit. You can't invite a governor to your state in 2012 and praise him as one of the best, and 14 years later, you have nothing positive to say about his time as governor.
The FIFA President is supposed to be UNBIASED when it comes to supporting players and nations. He shouldn’t be seen to be supporting a particular player or nation, that’s not fair on others.
Oh you mean the 35 year old journeyman who has only scored more than 9 goals in a season only once in his whole career; who has been relegated 6 times in 12 years, and whose most recent club just got relegated to the 3rd division (and promptly released him as a free agent), wasn't qualified to captain and lead the line for one of Africa's most important world cup teams?
You mean his surname shouldn't have given him an automatic starting spot and >70 mins guaranteed playing time in every game, keeping better players on the bench for no reason? You mean after he was taken off and the player that replaced him gave Ghana its only win at the tournament, that player shouldn't have been rewarded by being padlocked to the bench for the rest of the tournament even when Ghana desperately needed a goal?
You don't say.
Eventually someone will break this bullshit conspiracy of silence one day, and they will tell the true story of what the hell the Ayew family has over the GFA that keeps getting Jordan and Andre picked 5 years after they should have voluntarily retired from international football if they had any honour and self respect.
