🚨 Thierry Henry Explains Why Arsenal Are One of the Most Hated Clubs in Football
🗣️: “People always ask why everyone is so obsessed with Arsenal. The answer is simple: relevance. When Arsenal are struggling, the world talks about them. When Arsenal are winning, the world talks about them. Very few clubs in football command that level of gravity.
Arsenal have one of the biggest fanbases in the world, and with a fanbase that large, every opinion becomes louder. Every victory feels bigger, every defeat becomes a global discussion, and every title race turns into a war between supporters online.
In recent years, Arsenal have returned to competing for the biggest trophies, and that naturally creates enemies. Nobody hates teams that are irrelevant. Rival fans say they dislike Arsenal supporters because they are confident, loud, and everywhere. But if we're being honest, every successful club has supporters like that.
After losing to PSG in the Champions League final, you can already see thousands of fans who don't even support the opposing team celebrating Arsenal's downfall. That’s not just rivalry; that’s fear and obsession.
The reality is that Arsenal are one of the few clubs in world football that people either love or love to see lose. That's usually what happens when a club becomes big enough to live in everyone's mind, even when they're not playing.”
To see Spurs and Chelsea fans mocking Arsenal after the seasons they had is beyond parody. We’re the best team in England, and the second best team in Europe. You lot are global laughing stocks.
So pipe down, you wastrels. 🤣
ACCELERATION AND NEW POSSIBILITIES
Being the Text of the 2026 Budget Presentation Address by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, on the Floor of the Abia State House of Assembly in Umuahia on Tuesday, November 25, 2025
Protocols
1. Mr Speaker, honourable members of the Abia State House of Assembly, fellow Abians permit me to begin on a note of profound gratitude, first to this honourable assembly and its leadership for warmly welcoming us into this hallowed chamber to present the draft of the 2026 appropriation bill for legislative consideration. I would also like to use the special opportunity offered by this august gathering to thank Ndi Abia at home and in the diaspora for their continuing goodwill and prayerful support. The position of leadership in a democracy is not just about one’s brilliance but an honour done to an individual or group by the people in continuing pursuit of the dreams of freedom which is democracy’s ultimate and most compelling promise.
2. Today, we have come to further strengthen our covenant with our people whose collective expectations we bear. I would like to sincerely thank you, Mr Speaker and the honourable members of this house for your commitment to the New Abia project. Over the past two and half years, you have worked collaboratively with the leaders of the other arms of government to build robust and responsive institutions. Thank you for placing the future of our State over personal glory and above all, for prioritising development over petty politics.
3. Mr Speaker, honourable members, we are here primarily to lay the expenditure outline for the next fiscal year before this assembly but we have also come for other important reasons connected to the democratic culture of accountability. Events like this present an excellent opportunity for stocktaking — to assess how far we have come, what has been achieved with the resources appropriated by this house and then present a plan for consolidation and improvements because there are no perfect endeavours. Beyond consolidation, we also have our eyes fixed on higher development targets. Our overarching governance agenda — the motivation behind everything we have done over the last 30 months — is to build systems and structures that support the productive ventures of our people, cut-out the obstacles that set us back and unleash the genius of this land. Abia is greatly blessed but as we have learnt from a careful observation of the world, potential for greatness is not the same thing as greatness. Our job as leaders is to activate the mechanism for transforming our system of natural advantages into platforms for true greatness.
4. The promise to make Abia truly the number one State in the country on all relevant and applicable indices of development is beyond sloganeering, it is a commitment to turn the human and material assets available to the State into productive vehicles of economic growth and prosperity. Mr Speaker, honourable members of 8th Assembly, while it is true that we are still far from our target destination, it is also a statement of fact that with the support of this house — with the understanding and cooperation of members across political party lines — we have made significant progress on relevant development indicators leading to the repositioning of the State as a major investment destination and a safe place to raise families. With your permission, Mr Speaker, I would like to share a few of the most remarkable achievements already recorded in the 2025 fiscal year.
@BOGbadams@iamsuperwhales@OfficialDSSNG This is a replica. The body looks like lightweight molded plastic, not military-grade polymer
The details (railings, seams, screw positions) don’t match the real Tavor.
No magazine is present.
The front and rear of the rifle lack the usual metal components found on the real one
@ChinasaNworu@real_IpobDOS@radiobiafralive@IgboHistoFacts This same army we were passionate and willing join by all means, yet they asked that a top politician must know to join. How about desire and passion for the country first.yet they refused.
