Argentina wouldn’t have won shit without Messi
I first saw him at the 2005 U-20 World Cup. I remember crying when my bro told me he played for Barca
Bro was a miracle. He literally carried Argentina for most of his international career.
I don’t even like Messi like that, but leave agenda aside .. Argentina would have won what without him? 😂 nigga pls

“Misinformation”

A 39 year old man was playing incredible football while his father was critically ill, led his country in all major stats in the World Cup and took them to the final (again) but every single game you were ready to destroy his name. Rest
Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Fellow Nigerians,
Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.
It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.
Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.
In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:
Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?
These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.
Today we stand before the world as a nation:
With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M
With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M
Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives
Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.
With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.
Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M
Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%
Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years
And the list goes on.
This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?
The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.
Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.
In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.
Appreciate Cristiano Ronaldo 🐐

To the one who is able to keep me from falling , it is by your grace I do this.

I’m still in charge. By your grace.
There are two groups of people you can rely on to tell you the truth about Islam.
1) Ex-Muslims
2) Minorities who grew up with them.
I fall in number 2.
It’s Islam vs everyone else.
Players get win bonuses, and other bonuses if they win titles or qualify for competitions.
What this means is that if Man City had prevented you from getting a bonus, either a win bonus or a title/cup bonus, between 2009 & 2018, the players are saying they lost a potential money because of Man City.
They’re seeking legal advice on claiming back those potential bonuses they could have gotten. Crazy times
Over 8 Peter Obi supporters in AkwaIbom who joined in for the March, are currently in police custody. The CP is insisting that he must detain them and charge them to court. My question is, charge them for what?
