This is a true-life story, and it's for men who can sleep with just about anything they see.

During my undergraduate days, one of my friends got a girlfriend. They were both students but from different departments. He had introduced her to me on several occasions.

To cut a long story short, one day we all decided to go for night class because most departments had already started organizing tests for students. At about 3 a.m., she told my friend she was tired and needed to return to her hostel. My friend came to where I was reading and asked me to join him in seeing her off because it was quite dark at that time.

As we passed the second gate of the school, which was close to her hostel, we left her and started heading back to class to continue reading. As we entered through the gate back into campus, the security man on duty called us over.

He asked, "Who was that girl you just saw off?"
I replied that she was our friend.
He then asked, "Do you know her well?"
I said yes.
He looked at us and said, "Did you realize that the girl you just saw off wasn't a normal human being like us?"

I was confused and asked what he meant.
He went further and said, "Didn't you notice that she was walking with her head and not her legs?"

At that point, I burst out laughing. I asked him how that was even possible. The man insisted he was very sure of what he saw and said we couldn't see it because we didn't have "inner eyes."

My friend and I immediately became nervous. My friend then admitted that the girl was actually his girlfriend.
The security man quickly asked, "I hope both of you haven't been intimate together?"
My friend replied, "No."
The man then said, "You are very lucky."
Although I was still doubting his story, he told us to go and verify the department she claimed to belong to.

The following day, we went there, and to our surprise, nobody in the department recognized her. That was when I knew there was a serious problem.

We later contacted the security man because he had given us his phone number that night. After explaining everything to him, he advised my friend to call his parents and tell them what had happened.

His parents eventually came to school to pick him up. In fact, he didn't return to school until over a year later and had to defer his admission.

The entire incident traumatized me for the rest of that academic year.

Brighton bought a teenager for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea for £115m. The man running the club is a professional gambler. This week he did it again, paying £21.5m for an 18-year-old from the Swedish league.

The gambler is Tony Bloom. Before football, he made his money at the poker table and in sports betting, where the whole skill is spotting something priced too low and betting big on it. He bought Brighton and ran it the same way.

Caicedo is the one everyone remembers. Brighton signed Moisés Caicedo from a club in Ecuador for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea two seasons later for £115m, the most a British club had ever paid for a player at the time. Marc Cucurella cost £15m and left for Chelsea at £62m. Liverpool paid £35m for Alexis Mac Allister, a £7m buy from Argentina. João Pedro went the same way last summer, £30m in and up to £60m out, also to Chelsea. Same move every time. Buy a kid cheap, give him a season or two to get good, then sell him to a giant at the peak of his price.

The trick is that Brighton barely guesses. Bloom owns a sports-betting company, and the club runs a private piece of software that scans players across the planet and flags the ones going for less than they are worth, usually teenagers in leagues the big clubs cannot be bothered to watch, in places like Ecuador, Argentina, Japan and now Sweden. They look for the position they need anywhere on earth, plan a year or two ahead, and have a cheap replacement ready before the star is even sold. In late 2024 they let go of most of their human scouts and leaned on the computer instead.

And it works. Brighton made the biggest profit any club has ever posted in the Premier League, around £123m in a single year, and the Caicedo money had not even come in yet. They pulled it off with the 13th-biggest wage bill in the league and one of the cheapest squads in it.

Chelsea alone have now handed Brighton about £237m for Caicedo, Cucurella and João Pedro. They are paying for the very machine that keeps beating them. And two of the four clubs Brighton held off to sign that Swedish kid this week were Chelsea and Newcastle.

So an 18-year-old from Stockholm, bought for £21.5m, is just the next chip on the gambler's table. If the pattern holds, some giant pays over £100m for him in a few years, and Brighton starts the whole thing again with the winnings.

It is often presented through a one-sided narrative that fails to genuinely capture the reality of the city. It has also become many people’s go-to reference when they want to describe a village. The media should do better, abeg

[Iremide Omilabu @Ire_emide]

The way the media portrays Ibadan is quite disappointing. A city with deep history, culture, and intellectual influence is often reduced to narrow stereotypes that label it as inferior, overly local, unsophisticated, substandard, and backward.
