I was told that VAR would intervene in corner kicks in this World Cup. Well, South Africa was just incorrectly denied a corner which was given as a goal kick and nothing happened. #FifaWorldCup
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.

There are no shortcuts to becoming smart that doesn't involve reading books because books are food for the mind, so people tell me why there are people that go a full year (yes, 365 days) without opening a single book. How exactly does that work? The mind boggles. 📚
@josemorgado Congratulations, Mirra. She has finally come of age. To turn that heartbreaking Madrid loss into a RG at the first try shows she has matured. She will only get better so interesting to see.
I don't know the exact form it took, but something underhand went on here 💯%. I mean, given that it's Italians involved, some of the most corrupt, unscrupulous people, especially in the context of sports, I called it immediately the news broke. I hope Zverev grounds him to dust.
Matteo Arnaldi was 100% paid off by the Italian government to withdraw from today’s match to give Flavio Cobolli extra rest before the title match with Alexander Zverev.
They know Cobolli has the best chance to defeat Zverev, so why tire him out? This is a prime example of tampering. The Italians should be banned from all future events for rigging this final. I expect a full investigation from the tour.
This is unacceptable.
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@olaegbe__o@Mosinmi_ You people were warned, threatened, begged, cajoled not to vote Buhari. His history was laid bare before anyone who could read to see that he was at best useless and at worst a monster. It was not so much the vehicle (APC) as it was the driver (Buhari). God will punish you all.
@olaminuel@Omolomo_o He screenshot almost everything but he no screenshot lost ticket before he delete? Abeg! My guy cashed out and good on him. He just doesn't want billing and I understand too.
Cataclysmic collapse from Sabalenka here, you couldn't write it. Exits #RolandGarros by eating a bagel 🥯, not even a baguette 🥖. No one saw this coming from Shnaider.
Not a single one of them is true. If it is from a lady, it is even less likely to be true. I mean, assuming these stories to be fiction, which most or even all are anyway, not a lot of them are interesting to read. Again, if it is from a blue tick FEMALE account, it's all lies.

So this has now been Community Noted, it wasn't when I first saw it, and I kept thinking to myself, why does Wrighty sound like ChatGPT? Was he reading from a teleprompter? Turns out it was a completely made up quote and this was indeed written using ChatGPT after all. Shambolic.
🚨🎙️Ian Wright on Matvey Safonov's towel for the TAB session during the penalty shootout in the champions league final against Arsenal:
“I’m sorry, but this has to be looked at properly. What Matvey Safonov did with that towel is straight-up cheating. Full stop.
“if we’re being consistent, football cannot pick and choose when information gathering is acceptable. We saw clubs investigated over scouting and intelligence-gathering scandals before. So explain to me the difference here.
You’ve got a PSG goalkeeper sitting there with a full tactical cheat sheet tucked into his towel, player names, numbers, flags, penalty tendencies, instructions like ‘FRAPPE FORT’, ‘SLOW SKIPPING’, ‘TAB 90’, the lot. He’s got Gyökeres, Kai Havertz, the works mapped out like it’s an open-book exam. This isn’t preparation, this is espionage in plain sight during a European tie against Arsenal.
“We’re not talking about instinct, preparation, or reading body language. We’re talking about a physical reference sheet being available during the shootout.
“If Southampton can face scrutiny over ‘spygate’ accusations, then UEFA should at least examine this as well. Either gathering opponent information is part of modern football or it isn’t. The rules cannot change depending on who wins the trophy.
“People will say, ‘Every club does penalty research.’ Fine. Do the research. But where is the line? Can you carry databases onto the pitch? Can coaches feed information every kick? Can players walk around with scouting reports in their socks?
“The problem isn’t PSG. The problem is consistency. Arsenal lose a Champions League final and suddenly everyone says it’s smart preparation. If Arsenal had won with a goalkeeper carrying a detailed PSG penalty guide, I guarantee half of Europe would be demanding an investigation.
“UEFA doesn’t even need to punish anyone. Just tell us clearly what is and isn’t allowed. Because if this is completely legal, then every goalkeeper in Europe will be turning up to penalty shootouts with a cheat sheet the size of a textbook next season.”
@Osi_Suave Anytime they kidnap a group and that group is eventually released, just know they have been paid ransom, HEFTY RANSOM. They go on to procure more weapons and vehicles and widen their net, bigger kidnapped group, bigger ransom, and so on.
