[Victor Osimhen @victorosimhen9]

As a young boy who came from the streets of Olusosun, who had to hawk in traffic almost every day of the week while growing in-order to survive the numerous challenges my family and I were facing, becoming a Treasure in Africa and World Football was a wild dream. Words can’t express the joy in my heart, this is a very special moment to me.

My football journey has been a rollercoaster of highs, tough lows and emotions. The goals, echoes and jubilation of victories keeps me going even when the critics, hate and pain of defeats hit me hard in the chest. The support of my amazing family, my fans most especially my Nigerian supporters and the love for the beautiful game of football motivates me to aim higher daily.

Losing my dear parents in the course of this journey leaves a scar in my heart as they have always been my major driving force for success since I was a kid, may their souls continue to rest in peace. To my wonderful family thanks for always having my back and loving me so much. I wouldn’t have made it this far without your esteemed support. To my fans and Nigerian supporters, your dedication in supporting me on the good days and bad days do not go unnoticed, even amidst the arrows of hatred thrown at me y’all still stood by my side. I am grateful.

Winning the CAF Best African Player 2023 is a testament of my hardwork, your love and support. I am so proud of myself for achieving this prestigious award. Thank you CAF, to all the coaches I have played under both local and international, your wisdom and knowledge have played huge roles in guiding my footballing career, thank you so much. I am sure my parents in heaven are smiling at me, this is for you. I also congratulate Chiamaka Nnadozie and Asisat Oshoala for their prestigious awards. Dreams do come true! Thank you everyone,GOD is the greatest🙏🏽❤️🇳🇬

Google has honoured late Nigerian footballer Rashidi Yekini with a doodle on what would have been his 60th birthday. It recreates his celebration during the 1994 World Cup after scoring against Bulgaria, also Nigeria's first-ever goal in a World Cup final. https://t.co/h8YW80ydBt

Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart. ~Bruce Coville

When in #lagos

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Once met a British oil exec in Lagos. The day before, he’d been to a disastrous party at a top minister’s house. The invitation said ‘Fancy dress compulsory’. He had no fancy dress, but was an enthusiastic scuba diver and by chance had his gear with him. He dressed up, took a cab to the house, rather surprising the driver, squelched up the drive in wet-suit, mask & fins, climbed the steps, and found himself in the midst of the party. All the men were wearing dinner jackets, since in Nigeria ‘fancy dress’ means ‘black tie’. He fled back down the drive and understandably had problems getting a cab to take him back to his hotel.

A cada rodada fora de casa uma surpresa desagradável. E foram muitas nessa temporada. Desejos de morte, boneco enforcado, muitos gritos criminosos... Tudo registrado.

Mas o discurso sempre cai em “casos isolados”, “um torcedor”. Não, não são casos isolados. São episódios contínuos espalhados por várias cidades da Espanha (e até em um programa de televisão).

As provas estão aí no vídeo. Agora pergunto: quantos desses racistas tiveram nomes e fotos expostos em sites? Eu respondo pra facilitar: zero. Nenhum pra contar uma história triste ou pedir aquelas falsas desculpas públicas.

O que falta para criminalizarem essas pessoas? E punirem esportivamente os clubes? Por que os patrocinadores não cobram a La Liga? As televisões não se incomodam de transmitir essa barbárie a cada fim de semana?

O problema é gravíssimo e comunicados não funcionam mais. Me culpar para justificar atos criminosos também não.

No es fútbol, es inhumano.

S*** show

[The Upshot podcast @UpshotTowers]

When Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea, the fans feared the worst.

And it turns out they were right! Todd Boehly's first season in charge has been an absolute shitshow.

From dressing rooms scraps to Tuchel's sordid secret, this is the story of Chelsea's season from hell...

Suella Braverman keeps repeating that the Rwanda scheme etc is the “will of the British people”

If, like me, you’re British, & this is not your “will” let her know by retweeting this please.

We deserve to be heard
