Nobody is folding

You knew what you were doing

People that reacted were very valid!!! They reacted based on the video

You could have done a positive prank also and people would have celebrated you as well

@damascots2014 I was waiting for this type of argument, because there’s definitely that person that would miss the point.

The point is that the others are being intentionally overlooked. Why?

[Uncle Okey @CzarArchie]

Yup! He’s targeted.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Mikel Arteta: “I'm going to put sensors on the touchline! There are managers that have the record in the league, 36 times in 10 minutes, leave the touchline… and no yellows”.

“So I'm clipping ALL of that. So I have a massive storage of images now”.

[Uncle Okey @CzarArchie]

For Spurs to beat you, Walahi your life don spoil finish.

They didn’t win even Man U, e come reach your turn, they use you pick form.

@SirLeoBDasilva They mostly catch up with what you’ve seen long ago

[Uncle Okey @CzarArchie]

Long may the eyesore continue

[buzor @buzor042_]

Arsenal before Arteta used to be a team you could tune in for 90 minutes and enjoy, even though they don't win trophie but they play beautiful football , they could be losing 3-nil and you’d still enjoy watching them play. Now they’re an eyesore to watch 💔

[Uncle Okey @CzarArchie]

No worry, you go explain taya…

🚨 Enzo Maresca: “We didn’t deserve to lose but… we lost”, told TNT Sports.

The type of goal I love.
Scrappy, confusing and the type that will get the haters to talk.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

People will not understand but everything Manchester United are going through currently is because of Zubimendi.
If he did not gift them a goal at the Emirates, Carrick probably does not get retained.
Zubimendi has single handedly ruined that club by playing chess.

A text.
It came from Dara. It reads: an opportunity in a firm on the Island. Be there, 9 am tomorrow.
I had just finished breakfast, in Akure.
Packed a few clothes.
Jumped on a bike. Then a bus, to Lagos.
That was July 2015.
And that was how I left home.

I stopped at a canteen to have some amala in Offa few days ago and a guy approached me.

I'm used to being approached everywhere and most times I even interject with "From social media abi?" once a stranger walks towards me in such manner.

"Sir, I know you? I was a student of the University of Offa and, last year, you came to our school to talk to us on career and encouraged us", the young man started.

He was wearing what appeared to be commercial okada rider jacket.

A few seconds of confusion. Do I have Twitter followers riding okada? This guy looks too polished to be an okada rider.

"I brought someone here", he added.

This looks like someone I need to have deeper discussion with so I gave him my Whatsapp number as I felt he was at the mercy of the passenger he brought.

Not in a hurry as I had thought as I still saw him after I settled at my table, so I asked him to grab a chair and let us talk the talk immediately rather than on Whatsapp later.

His story goes: He was an accounting student, and was encouraged by the career talk I had given last year and he had enrolled for ICAN ATS, passed stage 1 and expecting result of stage 2 he wrote recently. ICAN has 5-6 stages for ATS route (non-graduate route).

"So what happened? Were you rusticated?", I quipped, with each morsel of amala becoming heavier in my hand.

Then series of bombshells: He had lost both parents. He had been fending for himself almost all his life. He is in his mid 20s. He came to Offa from a nearby village five years ago, for NCE. He got admission into UniOffa as DE to 200L. He spent nights working at a poultry and days a student.

More bombshells: He dropped out in 300L when he could not afford school fees. He could not raise the school fees when he resumed 300L. The poultry work was stressful too. So he started doing okada.

More: His CGPA at the end of 200L was 4.0/5.0. A solid CGPA.

UniOffa school fee is less than N400k, one of the cheapest private universities in Nigeria.

ICAN is cheaper (less than N100k per diet?) but I told him immediately that that ICAN will be useless without a degree. He has to go back to school and complete the degree. Serious employer looks at your degree before your professional cert.

I'm on the Governing Council of the school (he didn't know - a surprise - and he probably thought I was just brought as an external speaker at that career event. And I didn't tell him.) I asked him to go back to the school and enquire whether he can resume the 300L that just started (his set are in 400L now but that shouldn't matter).

I have seen people struggle in life. Not the worst experience, but my mind kept flashing back. Someone is dropping out of school, from a brilliant 4-pointer accounting student to an okada rider because, all his life, he couldn't raise sub N400k. An amount some guys spend on a random night at a tier 3 club.

Touching.

Joe will finish that degree. In shaa Allah.

This day created so many Arsenal fans.

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

📆 On this day, in 1999, Nwankwo Kanu scored a hat-trick in the final 15 minutes as Arsenal come from 2-0 down to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

⚽ 75' — Kanu 🇳🇬
⚽ 83' — Kanu 🇳🇬
⚽ 90' — Kanu 🇳🇬

🗣️ "KAN-U BELIEVE IT?!"

[Jimi Poko @StreetLordPoko]

On this day, I became an Arsenal Fan.
Nigerian Tribune headline the following day,

When I landed in Nysc camp, first 4 days no weed, I drink beer tire 😭😂
Day 5 I’m walking past the bathroom and I smell weed…I trace the smell to one of the bathrooms and then I started banging on the door, nobody answered, everywhere went silent,

[Uncle Okey @CzarArchie]

Is he for real?

[Imran @Obafemi010]

I think it was this one Saturday when I planned an outing with my guys, only for everyone to cancel at the last minute. I was the only one left and I was still at home oo, and normally I was supposed to just stay back but no, I still went out😭

So I just wandered around, I sat at a restaurant, then I stumbled on an owambe and stayed there till around 6pm when they started packing up. After that I went to a mai suya spot and stayed till 9 pm.

I later walked home and got home around 10:30 when I could have just taken a bike ooI. I took my shower and slept. All this because I didn't want to stay at home😭😭

Omo I'm homophobic like mad😂😂
