Referee denied entry.

Officials denied entry.

Players denied entry.

Fans denied entry.

The U.S. is proving exactly why it never should’ve been chosen to host the World Cup.

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT HOSTING THE WORLD CUP IF YOU DONT WANT THE WORLD TO BE APART OF IT 🤷🙄
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIDICULOUS 🤡

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

Peter Obi just filed a N5 billion suit against Kenneth Okonkwo over his defamatory remarks.

And do you know the most interesting part?

The guy Kenneth Okonkwo quoted, has come out to deny everything.

The guy is saying he never told Kenneth Okonkwo that Peter Obi asked NDC South East aspirants to contribute N10 million each to fund his presidential ambition.

Now, as Atiku would be looking for a VP; Kenneth Okonkwo would be looking for evidence.

🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]

"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."

"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."

"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."

"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."

"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."

"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."

"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."

"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."

"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."

"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."

[Da’ Jamal.23⚽️🏀 @Dajamal_23]

You are not doing the world a favor for hosting the World Cup.

You bid to host it because of the advantage that comes with hosting it.

You should not deny millions of fans the right to see their countries play the beautiful football.

If you think your national security is at risk, transfer the right to another country to do so.

Football is bigger than you, it’s everyone’s sport.

🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics

"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."

"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."

"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."

"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."

"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."

"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."

"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."

"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."

"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."

The Kidnapped Principal said they were not hurt by those Terrorists but, the Mathematics Teacher was beheaded right?

If you like believe the latest video from those Terrorists.

[Naijasermon.com @naijasermons]

As you go about your activities this week. Don't forget to speak up for those that are in the den of kidnappers. They must not be forgotten.

Say a word of prayer for them in the comments.

It's looking like everybody is slowly moving on from the Oriire children abduction!!!

The NDDC spends $8 million annually on foreign scholarships for 200 of its people, though I feel it is excessive.

SEDC spends nothing on education.

Even ₦16.6 billion cannot be accounted for. No plans for railways, nothing for the region aside from conferences and photo ops. N159 million for annual office rent in Abuja. Kai!!

ISEE is so transparent that every kobo is accounted for publicly.

It breaks my heart to see people given the opportunity to make a lasting impact in our region, only for them to mess it up.

Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap. Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap. Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap.

Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap. Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap. Today is day25 of the Oyo Children Kidnap.

Pls help speak up.

A student who gets F9 cannot destroy a nation.

A leader without character can.

Maybe we’ve been measuring the wrong thing all along.

Education is not IQ alone.

Character is the real certificate.

[Shehu Gazali Sadiq @Rejoice_inlife]

400 hostages were released in Ngoshe after the military delivered ransom to the terrorists. All the released hostages are Muslims. The Christians are still in captivity. This is according to eyewitness report.
The question : why are the Christians not released?

[BANNY @Bannyswago]

Nigeria is far too underdeveloped for the cost of living to be this high.

[Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM]

I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed.

Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public.
This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours.

As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on.

The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability.

We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul.

Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security.

We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Why does the President hardly ever address the nation despite the relentless insurgency, kidnappings, and insecurity that Nigerians face every day?

People are being killed. Children are being abducted. Communities are living in fear.

In many countries, leaders speak directly to their citizens during moments of crisis to reassure them, explain actions being taken, and show that they understand the pain of the people.

The silence is becoming as disturbing as the insecurity itself.

Are Nigerians not human beings?

[Everest @novieverest]

If not for how tribalism and religion have divided us, cooking gas at ₦2,400 should cause a total shutdown on Monday morning.

But a shutdown is an attack on Tinubu and Ronu gangs.
