Qatar’s Assim Madibo, the player who broke Ismaël Koné’s leg stuck around Vancouver to spend time with Koné.

“He was very affected for his injury, never he was intentional. All of you know Madibo, and was a very clear accident, only to remark this, and to wish him all the best” — Julen Lopetegui.

We'll never see anything like this ever again 🐐🐐

1. Free brief for El-Rufai's lawyers on their no-case submission:
(a) A Statement Is Not Necessarily A Confession
The prosecution appears to rely heavily on statements made during a television interview. Note: El-Rufai never admitted personally intercepting any communication/

@TheQueenAminat Congratulations Queen. I wish you great sales and more expansion

[#TheSportsIlluminator @RayToluAyo]

I always love your write up

Always precise and dope, and your knowledge is vast

However,, there are "four statements" that are fallacies in the media space

• Cristiano Ronaldo is arrogant but Lionel Messi is humble
• Ronaldo chase records, Messi doesn't
• Ronaldo cares about the rivalry, Messi doesn't
• Ronaldo is hard work, Messi is talent

All these four, they are lies!!

Everything you said about Messi is good but it kinda paints Ronaldo as a selfish and a bad person

First, I don't believe all these Portugal players don't regard Ronaldo

I have followed football to a stage where I don't follow media noise

There is competition amongst team mates. You played football and you know this

An average European footballer has this perceived arrogant personality

Ask Zinedine Zidane, ask Thierry Henry, ask Arjen Robben, ask Eden Hazard, ask some of the great European players, etc

Second, before I judge someone, I sometimes check where they are from which are foundations to a lot of things

In 2007, Ronaldo was asked who the best player in the history of football is

He said;

"Cristiano Ronaldo"

He was 21 years and he hasn't even achieved anything

In 2012, when Ronaldo was asked about the Ballon d'Or

He said;

"in Portugal, we don't act like we don't want something. We say it out the way we feel it. I want to win the Ballon d'Or"

You have heard how Jose Mourinho speaks......

I think Nani once said he is as good as Ronaldo but Ronaldo was way more consistent. I can't remember how he put it again

These are the Portuguese ways of speaking and actions. They don't hide it and it doesn't make them arrogant

The Joao Neves interview, I didn't condemn him because of two things;

First, he is young and might not have meant it the way the media portrayed it

Second, it's the Portuguese way of speaking

All these Ronaldo is chasing records, he reacts or doesn't talk to anyone if he doesn't score doesn't make him arrogant or selfish

That's a personality trait and a way of dealing with disappointment

Yes, maybe sometimes;

He overdoes it or he should have done better, but then, is there anyone 100% perfect in character

And it's not every game that he doesn't score that he won't talk to his teammates after the game

He has played over 1000 games

Dring the BBC/MSN era.

The MSN said they use to share glasses of wine together

Ronaldo said;

He keeps a professional friendship with the BBC. They don't share wine, they come to work and go to their houses

Does that make the BBC group worse than the MSN?

Messi doesn't chase records....

Was it not the same Messi that messaged Pep Guardiola when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was making the headlines ahead of him in Barcelona

And it led to Zlatan being marginalized from the team!

Was it not the same Messi that said he was hurt when Ronaldo tied his Ballon d'Or awards?

Was it not the same Messi that told Guillerm Ballague that he wants to outdo Cristiano

So, you still think he doesn't chase records?

Let me tell you today, Messi has eyes on 1000 career goals. If anyone tells you otherwise, it's a lie

The Argentina team

You see the Argentine team that became successful

It's just because we don't give him his flowers. Lionel Scaloni was the reason why that team succeeded

Before now, Argentina was individualistic but when Scaloni came, the first thing he did was break that individualism structure

That was what the birth of whatever you see in the Argentina national team today

Scaloni fostered unity, trust, friendliness, and loyalty among the Argentine players and that was the beginning of their greatness

Once again, great write up but sometimes what the media paints are far from the truth

Well done

@Excellclothing @Tony1giggs @TimOdutola You should first find out why he said so. That will help you build your case.

[Olufemi AWOYEMI @OlufemiAwoyemi]

Q: Why is it so easy to criticise and have a plan till you get into government? 🤔

A: Because outside govt, you see the problem in straight lines. Inside government, you meet the maze.

From outside, failure often looks like a lack of will, competence, courage, or integrity. Sometimes it is. But inside government, plans meet weak institutions, inherited liabilities, vested interests, procurement rules, courts, legislators, budget limits, security realities, civil service inertia, and the politics of timing.

Culture happens, stories begin and self-preservation agendas find life.

The easiest sentence in public life is: “They should just fix it.” The harder truth is that the state is not one person with one button. It is a network of laws, interests, fears, incentives, sabotage, capacity gaps, and consequences.

Still, complexity is not an excuse for failure. Government exists to organise complexity into results. The real test of leadership is whether a plan survives contact with reality, adapts without losing its moral centre, and delivers relief citizens can feel.

So, I have learnt to appreciate progress, momentum and incremental gains..... not the eldorado version.

Yet, criticism keeps power honest, but getting results for desired governance requires more than criticism. It requires getting involved, sequencing, coalition-building, courage, competence, communication, and the humility to accept that the problem was deeper than the slogan.

The code is to win by knowing when to lose, win or compromise.

On a scale we can all relate wirh, we should for example know that the wedding, of which we priotise expenses with, is just an event, while the marriage remains the institution of priority. Even within this family arrangement, optimising value reflects similar challenges.😔 You can read this in a way you get the message.

Be ye circumspect.....

[Madam PresIdent: It is All About Nigeria @iyaboawokoya]

1. An important dimension that I think deserves addition to this analysis is the absence of a strong culture of evaluation and continuity in governance.
One of the recurring weaknesses in our public administration is that new governments often arrive with entirely new agendas,/

Peter Obi: In four years, we will generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity.

Rufai: How are you going to do it?

Peter Obi: I’m not going to tell you how I’m going to do it, it is not for you to know how. It’s for you to look at a man who is saying this.
