The ref hadn't even blown the whistle, vozinha was still setting up the wall, and Messi tried to steal a cheap goal… him being a “good guy” is the biggest false image in football
🚨🤑𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗨𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧:
Cape Verde had MULTIPLE calls go against them in the Argentina match!
•Clearly winning the ball and Messi given a dangerous FK.
•2nd goal Tagliafico commited a foul in the corner. Goal still was given.
•Clear foul not given in the dying minutes of regular time. Potential dangerous free kick.
Cape Verde went against the system and lost, but they will forever have our hearts. 🇨🇻
PRESS STATEMENT: - NDC Demands Immediate Sack of Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila Over Massive Corruption Scandal Involving Fake Agency and Sale of Appointments.
🚨 | Michael Olise is two assists away from breaking Dusan Tadic's record of 37 ASSISTS in a single season. 🇫🇷🎯
He has already beaten Messi's 34 tally in a single season tally by providing 36 assists this season, including 5 in the World Cup. 🥇
Just a reminder that USMNT striker Folarin Balogun received a red card after a VAR check on this challenge.
Earlier in the tournament, Lionel Messi didn’t get a yellow card or even a VAR check for a similar challenge.
🚨 Pochettino:
"I have no issue with a red card if it's deserved. But when a similar incident in Argentina vs. Algeria goes unpunished, questions have to be asked. The badge or the name shouldn't influence decisions, refereeing must be consistent for every player."
So, it turns out Messi doesn’t even hold the record for most assists in a single season. Juan Mata recorded 35 assists in the 2012/13 season, yet Messi’s PR team has tried to suppress it just like they did with Tadić and are currently doing with Olise. 😂🤦🏾♂️
My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria
Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.
Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.
These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.
Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.
The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.
Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?
This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?
When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?
A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.
Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?
Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.

Kudos to Jose Mourinho, Alan Shearer and many other footballing figures who have called out the outrageous and impossible VAR offside decision against Iran.
But none of them has stated the truth: it was not incompetence, it was FIFA political corruption.
