Sepp Blatter did the same!!
Infantino now cannot even hide it!!
How Ronaldo achieved so much greatness with these set of bias people in charge is crazy!
@toylan20 Running outdoor builds mental capacity and endurance better than thread mills. Imagine running a bit far from home and you know the only way back home is with your legs, you’ll man up asap
When you were a senator, if a Lebanese booked an appointment to see you after me, the chances are very high they would get to see you before me.
Heck, I was denied a job because I was from the wrong state of origin despite my qualifications. (That time there were less than 10 CFA charter holders in Nigeria and I was one of them.) I was in Nigeria and couldn’t get into Unity School while watching those who scored half of mine get into the school. I didn’t qualify to get Shell scholarship in med school despite the fact that my family lost its ancestral land because oil was found underneath while others whose family were 1000km got the scholarship.
With all due respect, kindly fuck off with your platitudes.
I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with @HouseAppropsGOP. While there, we visited Benue State.
We met with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu and Tor Tiv. We met with suffering IDPs who are all Christians. They are forced to live in camps that are regularly attacked by Fulani Islamic radicals.
We heard heartbreaking stories from survivors of this horrific genocidal campaign committed by the Fulani, including a woman who was forced to watch as five of her children were killed.
I've never seen anything like it. It will stay with me the rest of my life.
I am working on a report to @POTUS that will outline a path forward to work with the Nigerian government in a coordinated and cooperative manner to end the slaughter of innocent Christians in the Middle Belt and stop the ongoing terrorist threat in the Northeast.
We will brief the President soon. More to come.

This was the saddest episode for me…Still gives me goosebumps. These 2 separate moments were connected through time; that was his destiny 🤌
It's painful that Hodor spent his entire life just holding the door for Bran😢
Guys please I don't want to hear this alone .. gather here and listen please .
This man has said it all
Also repost pls we need 1M persons to listen to this message meant for nigerians!

The moment you arrive in the UK this mentality will change. Here, there is dignity in labour. Not even a tech bro here in the UK can look down on a cleaner in the UK, it is only those in Nigeria and it is because we don’t have values or systems, we are just thieves and loud mouthed people who is always wanting to compete with our neighbors.
A cleaner who works £12.41 in the UK has a better living condition than a tech bro in Nigeria earning 3M naira monthly.
This same cleaner if alone without other commitments will have everything you have in Nigeria in shorter time. Use the same phone a tech bro uses even newer, rent a good apartment, drive a good car, go to the same restaurant a millionaire in the UK goes to (you can’t in Nigeria), use the same healthcare, wear the same clothes and have the same rights as anyone.
Until we start to see the dignity in labour, yahoo, corruption and poverty will continue to prevail in Nigeria.
That being said, I rather wash toilet in the UK, than be a tech bro in Nigeria.
Now simply replace:
Super with Federal,
Eagles with Government,
Fans with People,
Boys with Officials,
and Football with Governance.
After making these substitutions, read the message you passed to yourself.
Read it slowly.
Read it daily.
In The Dual Mandate, Lugard described the "typical African" as having a simple, childlike temperament, lacking self-control and foresight, and possessing intellectual inferiority. He also claimed Africans were deficient in organization and had an underdeveloped spirituality.
In as much as we call these views racism, I will like to dig deep by saying was Lugard wrong, Since we gained independence have we organized?, Have we not promoted tribalism and nepotism?, Have we not built an elite class on rentier system,
Have we developed our institutions? The British left 3000km of railway line, we have only added over 1000km to it. In British 100 years of colonization , they have built more rail in Nigeria than we have built since we gained independence!
In over 65 years of independence, we have struggled to produce about 5-6,000 MW, while we see what Egypt has done.
When we had the oil boom in the 70s, by the 80s we were broke.
Didn’t we distribute import licenses to party politicians in the 80s that destroyed our economy afterwards.
Didn’t we give out land and juicy gifts to politicians, Didn’t we play the winner takes it all game with Shagari’s party?.
Like Onyeka Onwenu Documentary says “We Squandered our riches”
Every generation, we keep creating rent seekers and we call them industrialist but the industries cannot build general wealth and increase the purchasing power of the society.
Only in Nigeria,the scenario plays out, where people that could barely afford clothes, now have private jets because they held political power in the span of 25years
Our young people are demoralized, they see the squander but the best they get is to be internet trolls for the politicians.
Reserves are high, inflation is coming down, our programs are working they say, but we see more hungry faces and homeless people, as basic rent for 2bed is over 2m.
Everyone wants to be a politician because the national cake is there to share, out of a 36 billion dollar budget graced by borrowing.
Who are we at 65? When people flee their homes in Ilorin due to banditry, but the same bandits are doing peace meetings and granting press conferences.
In Nigeria today, scientists are no longer celebrated, Gone are the days Chike-Obi was famous for Maths equations, Bandits are the celebrities, even politicians do photo-ups with them!
WHO are we at 65?
My wife is an american, my son is an american. A former Governor and a current minister of Nigeria but it is you in ketu sleeping on a ,mattress in darkness that will be defending them and claiming you love Nigeria. dey decieve your self dey go. Ozuorr!
I am NOT inspired by your story. You people met a good country but RUINED it all. Now, you even openly support the criminal system and the criminals ruining our country.
What a shame.
Tinubu had no business being president. Whoever doesn’t know that is stupid and there are many of them. It is far more efficient to impose a leader on Nigerians than to subject them to public debate. Some people are not to be listened to, they are to be guided and managed.
