Can you imagine training like a madman for 25 years, and getting called lazy just because you don’t post on social media?

World Cup is super fun until your team starts playing

[remx @biigrem]

In order to insult me, I must first value your opinion. That’s where the process breaks down.

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

• Are you joking with Messi about the records he is breaking?

De Paul: "Yes, a little because he doesn't know most of them."

"I swear to you that he isn't chasing individual records, but he ends up achieving them all."

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo
Farewell, Oba Lapite
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Kola Oyewo—scholar, actor, teacher, cultural ambassador, and dear colleague.
I had the privilege of working with him on Koseegbe, Oleku and Saworoide where he gave a memorable performance as Oba Lapite. His portrayal brought depth, dignity, and humanity to the role, making the character one of the film’s most enduring figures.
Ironically, Lapite’s death in the story created a challenge for me as a filmmaker. Once he was publicly executed by Lagata, I could not bring Kola Oyewo back into the narrative. I missed him then.
Today, I miss him again.
Kola Oyewo belonged to a rare generation that successfully bridged scholarship and performance. He inspired countless students, actors, and audiences through his talent, humility, and lifelong commitment to learning, culture, theatre and film.
Nigeria has lost a remarkable artist.
Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo.
Farewell, Oba Lapite.
Your legacy will endure in the stories you told and the lives you touched.
Ire ni o.

One of the fascinating stories about Baba ws that he transitioned from being a Non Academic staff to academic in Obafemi Awolowo University by getting admission to study Dramatic Arts- and, I think, his son was even a year ahead of him.

He became a lecturer & rose to the very pinnacle of his academic career.

Those who have never seen him on stage didn't see the best of him. Cameras did not do him enough justice.

He played Kabiyesi in Soyinka's DEATH & THE KING'S HORSEMAN at a command performance in Oduduwa hall & someone missed his lines. He didn't even skip the expression on his face to recover to get the dialogue back in.

A worthy Ife Alumnus, a consummate thespian & a man of culture.

E Sun re o, Baba.

[Ex-Grammaton Cleric @OtunbaBrickz]

This shit is meant to be hilarious but do you know how much hatred you have to have in your heart to be moved to tears like this! Even Hitler in all his rants wasn’t moved to tears by his antisemitism!

This is a level of hatred you can’t even begin to quantify! This is scary!

I see this often because I sit in some of those rooms. Nigeria is routinely treated as the “main character” in Africa.

[Maester @Tekanomo_]

The last European OEM Representatives that I worked with said something that made me start seeing Nigeria in a new light. He said in their annual Sales Planning and Forecasts, they always separate Nigeria from the rest of Africa.

So they'll make forecast for the rest of Africa, and also do a separate one for Nigeria. Because to them, Nigeria is as worth as much of the rest of Africa in Business potentials.

[Adééééééé @Ms_dewumii]

Mexico for the win!!!✨
