🚨 João Neves sends a brutal message after PSG defeat Arsenal in the UCL Final:
🗣️ “I saw only one team on the pitch tonight, to be honest.
People will talk about penalties, decisions and different moments in the game, but when I look at the overall performance, I felt PSG were the team that wanted it more.
We controlled large parts of the match, we kept believing even when we went behind and we never stopped pushing.
That’s the mentality champions need.
Arsenal are a very good team and they deserve respect for reaching the final, but I felt PSG showed more personality when the pressure was at its highest.
Even when things weren’t going our way, nobody panicked.
We trusted each other, trusted the coach and trusted the work we’ve done all season.
Finals are not only won with quality, they are won with character.
Tonight I saw a group willing to suffer for each other, fight for each other and do everything possible to bring the trophy home.
That’s why we are champions.”

Luis Enrique on why PSG only scored one goal against Arsenal in the UCL final:
🗣️ “People are asking why we only scored one goal, but football is about what the opponent allows you to do.
After Arsenal got their goal, they went straight back and started defending with almost everyone behind the ball.
They stopped taking risks, stopped pressing high, and focused on protecting the lead.
You could see the difference compared to our game against Bayern Munich. Against Bayern, there were spaces everywhere. The game was open, transitions were open, and we could attack with freedom.
Tonight was different.
Every time we got into the final third, there were bodies everywhere. It felt like Arsenal were defending their own penalty area with ten players.
I'm not criticising them it's a final and every team chooses its approach. But when a team spends most of the game protecting a lead, it naturally becomes harder to create clear chances.
We kept pushing, we kept believing, and eventually we found the equaliser.
But if Arsenal had come out and played more openly, I think everyone knows the game would have looked very different.”
🚨 Jamie Carragher Slams Arsenal After Final Defeat to PSG
🗣️: "That might be the worst performance I've ever seen in a Champions League final. Honestly, Arsenal played like Getafe for 120 minutes. Ninety minutes of sitting deep, thirty more minutes of sitting even deeper.
I kept waiting for them to show some ambition, some courage, but the plan seemed obvious: survive, survive, survive and hope David Raya wins the penalty shootout.
This is the Champions League final, not a relegation battle. You can't spend two hours defending your own box and expect people to praise it as tactical genius.
Mikel Arteta got it completely wrong. PSG looked like they wanted to win the trophy; Arsenal looked like they were trying not to lose it. If your entire game plan is to get to penalties because you've got a good goalkeeper, you've already handed control of the final to the opposition.
For me, that's one of the poorest final performances this competition has ever seen."
🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney:🔴
"I said it before and people attacked me for it — I'm not a fan of Mikel Arteta's style of football. Today, everyone has seen exactly what I was talking about.💣
You don't play a cup final with fear. You don't play a final looking scared to make mistakes. Finals are for brave players and brave teams.👀
Arsenal spent the whole night playing with panic, passing responsibility, and looking afraid to take risks. They did it against Manchester City and today again they did it against PSG tonight, and we've seen the same thing happen in big games before.
For all the possession and tactical talk, when the pressure is highest, they freeze. That's not the mentality of champions.
You can have all the patterns of play in the world, but if fear controls your football in a final, you'll always come up short."
On February 11, 1961, a United Nations referendum was held in British Cameroons to determine whether the territory should join neighbouring Cameroon or the Federation of Nigeria.
The territory was divided into two: Northern and Southern Cameroons voted separately. Southern Cameroons chose Cameroon. Northern Cameroons chose Nigeria.
That decision is the foundation of what became the Amana Region, located across what is now parts of Adamawa, Taraba and Borno States, with Mubi as its historic capital...
JUNGLE JUSTICE: THE HYPOCRISY OF THE SOUTHERN NIGERIANS!
By Salihu Tanko Yakasai.
Everywhere you look in this country, you can see rot in the system. The complicity of those who should know better is evident, and the vices that have become normalized persist across different parts of Nigeria. From chronic underdevelopment in all six geopolitical zones, including the oil producing states and the so-called economic hubs, to the regions that pride themselves on their religiosity, there’s no shortage of poor leadership.
However, one thing I find both amusing and troubling is how quickly the South amplifies the problems of the North, often presenting them as unique or exclusive to us, totally oblivious to theirs.
For clarity, I am not excusing the North. I have addressed our issues many times, particularly regarding insecurity. In fact, some readers may recall that I was arrested by the DSS in 2021 during the administration of late President Buhari after I criticized the handling of the Tegina schoolgirls’ abduction. I have also written openly about the failures of northern leaders, including my 2012 article, "19 Northern Governors: The Certified Parasites." I have consistently urged young
northerners to build capacity and equip themselves to add value to Arewa and the country as a whole. Yes, we have been vocal in our criticisms and have held our leaders accountable.
What I rarely see happen, is that same objectivity from many in the South. Whenever something occurs in the North, they swiftly condemn all northerners collectively, presenting it as if the entire region is guilty or that such acts are widespread and culturally accepted.
Take jungle justice as an example. The killing of Deborah in Sokoto is often cited as a favorite reference point by Nigerians from the South. For the record, my position has always been clear: Deborah should have been handed over to the authorities if she committed any crime. No one has the right to pass judgment outside the law. Her killing was jungle justice, plain and simple. Does that mean blasphemy is condoned? Absolutely not. But it should be the courts, not a mob, that decides.
However, here’s the hypocrisy: that same jungle justice is also widespread in the South. Burning people alive with tires, stoning them, or using cutlass to unailve them is rampant all over the South.
Many high-profile killings of northerners have occurred there in recent years. Harira Jubril and her four daughters were murdered in Anambra in 2022 by suspected ESN operatives. Sixteen northerners were lynched and burned in Uromi, Edo State, in 2025. The violence at Sasa market in Ibadan in 2021 left many Hausa residents dead and displaced. In the same year, armed separatists shot dead northern traders in Orlu and Umuaka, Imo State. These are not rumors; these are facts.
Yet, somehow, these incidents are downplayed or ignored. When you mention them, some people respond by saying Deborah was killed “in the name of Islam,” as if that magically makes the killing of northerners acceptable merely because it
wasn’t done “in the name of Christianity,” even though the perpetrators were Christians.
Even in the Southwest, where many present themselves as morally superior, the jungle justice carried out by the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) is conveniently forgotten. OPC began as a rights group but quickly morphed into a vigilante outfit linked to violent clashes across Lagos in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Human Rights Watch documented killings ranging from beheadings, torture, arson, and ethnic attacks in areas such as Ketu, Mile 12, Ajegunle, Idi-Araba, Ojo, and Isolo. Northern traders, civilians, and even police
officers were victims, with official estimates of the death toll nearing 500. Yet this history rarely makes its way into their moral lectures. Curiously, their memory seems to begin and end with Deborah or similar acts in the North.

Refinery. So many questions have been answered (numbers don't lie), so many conspiracies have been exposed (with time).
I don't care if DR is not being totally honest, but at least we're better off
I want to be naive 🙃
Given the long history of corruption (and its long list of players & beneficiaries) in this country, and given the huge opportunity to save and serve your country as a businessman (by extension, a patriot), Nigeria feels safer in the past one year with the coming of Dangote..
A single six-year presidential term (as well as the subnational) is reasonable and efficient if we're serious as a country. Main objective being governance.
Nigerian problem, Nigerian solution!
📢 The Federal Government’s settlement of over N2 trillion in outstanding capital budget arrears from the 2024 fiscal year is commendable. The news also has it that States’ fiscal surplus has increased from N2.8 trillion in 2023 to N7.1 trillion, providing subnationals with more fiscal space to invest in critical areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
As the focus shifts to 2025 capital releases, this momentum must be sustained. Citizens should also take ownership by checking https://t.co/FfdcoujOwa and https://t.co/3YLuqJOFhS to monitor disbursements and track how these funds are being used in their states and communities.
We want to see public funds work for the people. Increasing revenue should translate to increasing development across all states, LGAs, and communities.
