Ireland played Israel yesterday and half the country treated the fixture like a moral injury. A stain. As if sharing a pitch with Jews was the darkest thing their football history had ever asked of them.
October 17, 1936. Dalymount Park. Dublin. The German national team lined up in front of 28,000 people, threw out the Nazi salute, and stood through the anthem with the swastika hanging next to the tricolor. The Irish Free State had welcomed them off the plane. The bus that carried them through Dublin was dressed in Nazi flags. The players were proud to shake the German players hands.
The match programme went to auction decades later with the swastika still on the cover, sold as memorabilia. Ireland won 5-2.
That game is in the archive as a famous afternoon. This video is the proof, not a rumor.
So the stain, in the Irish telling, is Israel. Not hosting Hitlerโs team in their own capital three years after he took power. Not the salute on their grass. Not the flag they allowed to fly.
They do not hate a fixture. They hate a people. 1936 told you which side they could live with and embraced as friends. Yesterday told you which side they still cannot.
A Nigerian delivery rider in Dubai reportedly became the center of attention after someone filmed him late at night, waiting for his next order while reading the Qurโan beside his motorcycle.
What made the scene unusual was the small Qurโan box he had arranged near the front of his bike. Whenever there was a break between deliveries, he would take the Qurโan out and read.
When asked why he carried a physical Qurโan instead of simply reading from his phone, his answer was deeply moving.
He reportedly explained that he is a Hafiz of the Qurโan and regularly recites it during Ramadan. He had memorized the Qurโan through constant revision, not from a phone, and continues reading many chapters every day alongside his work so that he does not forget what he has memorized.
The video reportedly spread widely and eventually reached Dubai authorities. Claims circulating online say that he was later recognized and rewarded for his dedication and sincerity, with some posts stating that he received AED 50,000.
Whether every detail of the viral story is accurate or not, one lesson remains powerful:
Do not let your circumstances make you forget the Book of Allah.
He was waiting for a delivery order, but perhaps he was also preparing for something far greater.
May Allah preserve the Qurโan in his heart, increase him in sincerity, and bless his work and his life.

โMr Macaroni saw me on set one day, I just finished the two scenes I was called for and he escorted me to my car, he offered to give me fuel money and handed me 200k. Even the person that called me for job for those two scenes only gave me 50k. Macaroni still called me for another job with Pete Edochie another day and gave me 1 million Naira for just a sceneโ
