- “saying the World Cup is rigged is banter right ?”
- “why would anyone say a competition is rigged” 🤡
- “Cristiano Ronaldo fans and unnecessary conspiracy theories” 🤡
Here’s a video of Tinubu in 2019 crying that INEC rigged election for PDP 🥱😂
I think I need to start laying curse on this type of people because I did not wake up by 6am to get to school by 7am to argue about manutd in our class for me to be seeing kids write rubbish like this... I did not pay 30naira to watch Ronaldo teams in viewing center
Are you people running mad ?
What a disgusting, repellent, racist pig. We all stand with you @KMbappe against this shameful woman who I sincerely hope is hounded out of her job asap. How the hell is she an elected senator in Paraguay?
📌📌📌📌📌
First of all you are a scum
The “family of @elrufai never gathered to beg” talk less of doing that on his behalf
Please go back and watch the complete video and share here where the “family of @elrufai begged” and the context
I can tell you for free, T-Pain is never a friend of NER and Mallam said that himself
“The plot of land President Goodluck Jonathan gave me after we won AFCON… till today I still don’t know where it is 😭 and these same people are calling me to come and work with the NFF.”

A few years ago, when I was just a quiet observer on this app, I looked up to many of these people. There were a handful of accounts I regularly checked to read thoughtful political opinions, and this was one of them.
It is genuinely disappointing to see what many of you have been reduced to under this administration, openly defending injustice and massaging the ego of those in power instead of speaking up against obvious abuse.
Mallam said, “Even the President cannot tell me what to do,” because he like many of us thought Nigeria is a free country, governed by laws, not by the personal wishes of the president. He said what he said because he is confident he didn't break any law. It is sad seeing educated people inteprete that as arrogance.
I thought the people who wants to be worshipped are the arrogant people, not the ones who refuse to worship them, and would rather worship the law.
It is truly disappointing what y’all have become.
We should be defending the supremacy of the law, not the supremacy of power.
Mallam El-Rufai was out of the country but he came back to honor the invitation of the anti graft agencies, a person that going to jump bail will not do that, so I don't under where the fear of jumping bail is coming from

No farewell press conference. No goodbye to Manchester United. Yet that apology from Ruben Amorim tells me everything.
The way he owned his mistakes and admitted how much he’s learned makes me believe this isn’t the end of his story at United. One day, he’ll be back wiser, stronger, and ready.
I’m genuinely happy for him. ❤️🔥🇿🇼💪🏿
Press Statement: The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is deeply alarmed by reports that today, officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) forcefully denied Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai access to medical care, arrested his personal physician and physically assaulted his wife.
Information reaching us is that El-Rufai was billed for treatment at the National Hospital in Abuja today. But against the hospital's advice that he would require hospitalisation in view of his failing health, officials of the ICPC insisted on returning him into custody. Protests by his personal physician and his wife led to scuffles during which his wife was assaulted and the doctor subsequently arrested.
The actions of the ICPC and the Tinubu government have for months now gone beyond the realm of law enforcement.
Their actions have become an assault on the Constitution of 200 million Nigerians, on human dignity, and on the most basic principles of justice and human rights.
The world should know today that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding a political prisoner in Nigeria by the name of Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai.
No democratic government that claims to respect the rule of law should deny a detainee access to medical care or prevent close family members from seeing him in flagrant disobedience of the courts, which granted him unfettered access to his lawyers, physician and family members.
Such conduct belongs to authoritarian regimes that use state institutions to break political opponents rather than to uphold justice.
This is no longer about Mallam El-Rufai alone. It is about whether Nigeria remains a constitutional democracy or has descended into a republic where law enforcement agencies have become instruments of political persecution.
As we have said since this treatment of Mallam El-Rufai began: “Today it is El-Rufai. Tomorrow it could be any Nigerian whose only offence is to disagree with those who wield power.”
The ICPC owes Nigerians immediate explanations. On whose authority was access to his family denied? Why has access to his doctor been refused despite concerns about his health? What legal basis exists for these actions? Why were El-Rufai’s wife and doctor assaulted by the ICPC operatives?
President Tinubu cannot continue to hide behind anti-corruption agencies while pretending that these actions are independent of his administration.
Under our Constitution, the buck stops with the President. Every day that Mallam El-Rufai remains in custody under these circumstances is another day that Bola Tinubu keeps criminalising political opposition instead of confronting the grave crises of insecurity, unemployment, inflation, and hunger confronting millions of Nigerians.
The ADC therefore demands the following:
1. Immediate and unrestricted access for Mallam El-Rufai to his wife, children, legal team, and personal medical practitioners.
2. An urgent review of the punitive and disproportionate bail conditions imposed on Mallam El-Rufai, with a view to ensuring that they conform with the Constitution and the fundamental principle that bail is intended to secure attendance at trial, not to inflict punishment before conviction.
3. An immediate end to the harsh, degrading and unnecessarily restrictive conditions under which he is being held and supervised, and his release from what has become a regime of political persecution masquerading as lawful process.
4. Full compliance with all constitutional guarantees and internationally recognised standards governing the treatment of persons in custody.
5. Complete transparency from the ICPC regarding the legal and factual basis for every restriction imposed on him.
6. An immediate end to the use of state institutions as instruments of political intimidation, vendetta and selective justice.

Open Letter to Cristiano Ronaldo.
To the man who inspired billions of people all across the world, a beacon of Hope and an inspiration for generations. I am going to make this short.
You will forever be the Greatest Human to kick a ball and nothing will ever change that.

Tony Elumelu had never set camera to buy corn before until Remi Told Nigerian women to go and sell corn.
Elumelu's daughters should go and sell corn so that I too will set camera and buy from them.
Let his family lead by example
I don't mean this as some sort of gotcha for the OP, but really the entire World Cup should have been boycotted the moment the US prevented the Irani team from remaining in the country after every day. We are here precisely because no action was taken there.
