@chi_dethinker "Ronaldo Has Never Won Anything Under Controversy"
"The Only Ronaldo Ballon D’OR Controversy Was 2013 Of Which I Think Franck Ribery Deserves"
Same you. Smh
If it wasn’t Funke Felix-Adejumo saying all these things, would the women still be kiki-ing and cheering in church?
This is why I appreciate consistency over bias. She’s also told men not to k!ll themselves trying to please a woman.
Be a responsible man. Love, provide, and care for your family, but don’t destroy yourself trying to meet endless expectations.
The truth is, no human being is ever completely satiable. Balance is important.
Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.
Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.
A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.
And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.
Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.
The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.
FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.
That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.
I hope you have learned something today.

@CFCMods What is it with Africans always wanting to be "everywhere"??
Do African countries have whites, and do they complain? Let's stop this obsession of wanting validation from White Countries.
One experience during my surgery yesterday changed the way I think about life… and death.
While I was under anesthesia, there was… nothing.
No pain. No dreams. No thoughts. No awareness. No sense of time.
I didn’t know I had a wife. I didn’t remember my children.
I wasn’t thinking about my bank account, my businesses, or my unfinished plans. The RadioCom App, my baby project, was not remembered
My phone was with my wife, responding to important messages on my behalf.
Then I woke up.
That night, as pain kept me awake, one thought wouldn’t leave me:
One day, that temporary experience will become permanent for every one of us.
Surprisingly, it didn’t fill me with fear.
It gave me perspective.
It reminded me that we spend so much of life worrying about things we won’t even be aware of when we’re gone.
The Bible describes death as a state in which “the dead know nothing” (Ecclesiastes 9:5).
For me, that experience made those words feel deeply real. It also reminded me of something even more important:
While we are alive, love deeply. Forgive quickly. Be kind generously.
Because one day, all that will remain of us is the good or bad we left behind. ❤️
Think about that!
