May I find folks that believe in me, may I find people that are willing to put their names on the line for me to become all that I was meant to be.
May I recognize them, may I not despise them based on their appearance or their speech, may I say the right words in conversations with them, and may they hear the right things when I open my mouth and speak, may they find me and may they love me.

Lionel Messi's international career with Argentina has been nothing but dominant 🐐🇦🇷

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.

One thing became clear:

Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.

Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.

This isn't about politics.

It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.

I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.

Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.

If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

🚨| BREAKING: Argentina, despite finishing as runners-up, drew a bigger crowd than champions Spain.😳

Messi's life should tell you that people can actually dislike you for simply being the best man in the field.

[Ikpa Ekpe HQ @Ekpe_gemhunter]

@jon_d_doe I hope to do that in few months time, God's willing

[Ikpa Ekpe HQ @Ekpe_gemhunter]

@jon_d_doe High Chief for a reason

[Headking's Mindset 🧠 @MindOfHeadking]

Ronaldo fans are trying to force banter on Messi and Argentina that won everything.

They have zero shame knowing fully well that their goat is an international flop. 😂😂

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

Legend.

[Daniel Regha @DanielRegha]

Messi has already completed football, he's a previous World Cup winner, and by far has the most impressive 2026 World Cup tournament.

You can't ridicule him over the 2026 WC loss.

Congratulations to Spain on the well deserved victory

What happens if Argentina wins its 4th World Cup?

They would become only the 3rd nation in history to win back-to-back World Cups, after Italy and Brazil.

They would draw level with Italy and Germany on 4 World Cup titles each.

Lionel Messi would cement himself as the greatest player in World Cup history, surpassing Pelé and everyone else after reaching his 3rd World Cup final.

He would become the first player ever to win the World Cup Golden Ball 3 times. In fact, no one else has even won it twice.

Messi would also become the first captain in history to lift the World Cup trophy twice in a row.

He would become the most decorated international player in football history with 7 major international trophies.

This Argentina squad would become the most successful national team generation ever, winning 5 consecutive international titles: 2 Copa Américas, 2 World Cups, and 1 Finalissima.

Lionel Scaloni would become the joint-most successful World Cup-winning manager in history and the most decorated international coach of all time.

A lot would change.

VAMOSSSS 🇦🇷

Poverty is an asset.

If you’re poor, weak, and desperately in need of the resources to change your life…

You’re an asset.

To individuals, to businesses, to firms and organizations.

You are exactly what they’re looking for.

Not because they genuinely want to make your life better.

No.

Because desperation is profitable.

Everyone seeks enrichment. And the poor are their pawn.

The poorer you are, the easier you are to replace, the easier you are to underpay.

The less you know your worth, the more valuable you become to those who don’t want to pay it.

That is one of the reasons the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer.

Have you noticed how the highly placed in society often recruit thugs and riff-raffs for their dirty jobs?

The next election is near, who will they use? The poor and hungry, who do not know their worth.

Have you noticed how some “big oga” would rather keep you small, so you keep saying, “yes Sir,” from beneath the cave?

Have you noticed how some schools hire O’Level graduates to teach, even when there are qualified professionals?

Why?

Because they’re not prepared to pay a master’s degree holder for work they believe can be done with “peanuts.”

Dear small minds, the world is looking for you.

Not to build you.

To use you.

Businesses, firms, and organizations are constantly searching for people who don’t yet know their worth, because that helps them cut costs.

So by all means, be the f00l.

Take the job.

Take the contract.

Take the opportunity.

You need them.

Your salary may never become your ladder.

But the relationships you build…

The experience you gain…

The skills you develop…

Those can take you much farther.

Then one day, you’ll grow.

When that day comes, recognize it.

You may have to let go of some relationships you built during your “trenches” days.

Some people from your past will still expect the old version of you.

They’ll still want to “use” you.

By all means…

Shock them.

Show them your growth.

Smear their faces with it.

Not with your words.

With your actions.

You were once a solo plumber, moving from one job to another, hoping the next day’s meal was guaranteed.

People could smell the desperation.

Some took advantage of it.

They negotiated aggressively because they knew you couldn’t afford to walk away.

Then life changed.

You broke through.

Built your own facility.

Employed more hands.

Now an old client reaches out…

Still expecting yesterday’s price.

Shock them.

You were an asset to them even in your poverty.

But they treated you like a liability.

This isn’t revenge.

It’s recognition.

It’s the price of growth.

Be kind.

Be cheerful.

Be welcoming.

After all, they were part of your journey.

But be firm.

Be unapologetic.

Because people will always be more comfortable with the smaller version of you.

Don’t stay there.

Grow up.

Show off.

Stand out.

Anyways, a very good Sunday morning to you all.

And congratulations to Messi and Argentina for their world cup victory.

End.

Leo Messi’s letter to all Argentinians the night before the World Cup Final. 🩵🤍💌

“The most beautiful thing about all these years was 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲”.

“Sharing day-to-day life with this group, competing together, picking ourselves up in the difficult moments, and 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩”.

“Thanks to each one of my teammates, to the coaching staff, and to all the great people who work every day to keep this National Team as a 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲”.

“Whatever happens tomorrow, this group has already written 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 and that no one will be able to erase”.

“𝑽𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒔, 𝑨𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂”.
