🚨🗣️ Declan Rice reveals what Mikel Arteta told Arsenal's players before the World Cup.

🗣️ Presenter: "Declan, what was the last thing Mikel Arteta said before you all left for the World Cup?"

🗣️ Declan Rice: "He told us, 'Represent your countries properly... but don't come back empty-handed.'

🗣️ "Then he looked around the dressing room and said, 'I expect one of you to return with that trophy. Otherwise, I'll be hearing excuses all season.'

🗣️ "Everyone started laughing, but you could tell he meant it. The manager always wants us competing for everything.

🗣️ "Now we've all got something to prove, not just for our countries, but because nobody wants to walk back into London Colney empty-handed." 😂

Saw someone on tiktok saying “if you have to make a Christian version of something, you probably shouldn’t be doing it in the first place”.

Simple. Always thought this too.

“Christian baddie” “Christian club” etc

Man relocated his wife and his 14 years old son to UK.

Five years later,the boy started misbehaving.

He would talk back at his mom and disobay her.

One day, while his mom was disciplining him, he shouted at her and called her by her full name

" Rita okoji you're a bad mom"

The father didn't do anything instead, he told the mom to stop disturbing him..

Three weeks later, his dad told him to follow him to Airport, that's it, he got deported back to their country.

The man's brother was already at the airport waiting for him..

His dad said he will finish his university before returning back to UK.

In his word " you can't disrespect my wife and get away with it"

The boy is currently 300 level in UNN...

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.

Marriage is hard work.

Hard work here means two people building something together with intention, patience, and love.

Hardwork is not one person destroying and the other enduring.

Stop normalising suffering and calling it devotion.

[NneChukwu! @Okeke_Uz]

When I was newly married, I would go to wakes and wonder why there was an abundance of food and people eating as though it were a party.

I always refused to eat the food. Even when they shared biscuits or drinks, I always felt awkward collecting them. But as others were collecting, I would do the same and just put them in my handbag. It is better to eat at home than in the full glare of people, I always thought to myself.

For so many wakes, I kept that attitude until someone reported me to my husband. A fellow woman. The report was that they had been watching me and how I rejected food being served at different wakes and that he should speak to me, especially as I was not from their place. That if I cooked for them as a town, they would finish it, but I should know that if the town cooked for me, I would not be able to finish it.

Onye Nwem delivered the message with a supporting story.

There was a woman who never ate anything at any gathering in their village. Be it a traditional marriage, wake, or any function, she would arrive with her bottle of water. Whatever was served, she never collected it, let alone ate. The women of the town took notice of it, especially the Umuada. She would attend everything and pay all levies, dues and contributions but would never eat at any function.

Some years later, her daughter brought a man and wanted to marry. They prepared thoroughly, with food, drinks and everything, and invited everyone. The women of the town turned out en masse, but guess what? They all came with their bottles of water, and no one ate or drank at that event. At the end, they all left.

She had been cooking for them, and they had been eating. But when they cooked for her, she could not eat it.

After that story, I changed.

Now, if they serve food in takeaway plates, I collect it. If it is meant to be eaten there, I decline the food but take a drink or biscuit, and I make sure I am seen chewing and drinking. I also used that period to engage some older women to understand why they eat at wakes and burials.

What they told me changed how I see everything.

During a wake, the food and drinks are pure refreshment, a token of gratitude to those who came and supported, financially or emotionally. But for burials, it is deeper. Far deeper.

In Igbo cosmology, death is not an ending. It is a transition. The deceased does not simply cease to exist. They move into ala mmụọ, the spirit world, where they join the ancestors and continue watching over the family they left behind. But that transition must be facilitated. It does not happen automatically. The community has a role to play.

The Igbo traditionally observe two burials. The first handles the body. The second, known as Ikwa Ozu, handles the soul. Without it, it is believed the deceased cannot take their rightful place among the ancestors. Their spirit remains restless, wandering, unable to cross over fully.

This is where the feasting carries its deepest meaning.

The kola nut broken at a burial is a ritual act of communion between the living and the dead. The palm wine poured is not merely for guests. It is an offering, a message sent across the veil that this person is being properly honoured. When the masquerades appear, they are not entertainment. They represent the spirit world's own participation in the ceremony. The boundary between the living and the ancestors thins at these moments. Both sides are present.

When the community gathers and eats together, they are collectively saying to the ancestral realm: This person was loved. This person was seen. This person is being properly sent off. Their abundance at your table is the community's spiritual testimony on your behalf.

So when you refuse food at a burial, you are not simply declining a meal. In the spiritual architecture of Igbo tradition, you are withholding your participation from the act of sending a soul home. You are physically present but spiritually absent from the ceremony.

This means that the older women who watched me were not monitoring my appetite. They were watching whether I understood what I had been invited into. And honestly, I did not. Not until someone loved me enough to explain it.

Now I eat because I have come to the understanding that some meals are not about the food. They are about the living showing up for the dead, one last time, so the dead can finally rest.

Ok, so I jumped on the dates soaked in espresso trend… and it’s unreal.

Make some black coffee.
Add dates.
Marinate overnight.
Have on top of greek yoghurt, honey and a pinch of salt.

Unreal luxury breakfast or sweet treat.

(I chop my dates in half so the coffee really gets inside. They get jammier if you leave them 1 day+)🤌🏼

Gentlemen, when someone misbehaves, do not react so angrily that your response overshadows the initial misbehaviour and now becomes the issue.

Don’t end up being the one needing to apologise when you were initially the victim of bad behaviour.

Be clear that you will not accept or tolerate the misbehaviour, but be measured in how you express your disapproval. This is especially important when you are in a position of authority over the other person. It is also especially important in your relationship with your woman.

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

A little girl in Boston went home one day and asked her Nigerian mother if she could change her name to Zoe.

Nobody at school could say Uzoamaka.

Her mother was cooking. She didn't even turn around.

"If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Michelangelo, and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."

That girl kept her name.

Then she went to Hollywood and won three Emmy Awards.

And now the whole world knows exactly how to say Uzoamaka Aduba.

Your name is not a burden. It's a prophecy.

This evening, I was at Ikeja with my car rewire guy and I witnessed firsthand how all the mechanics apprentices in that big yard kept warning each other off some cars. “Don’t open that car, mosquitoes will enter”. I was wondering, if mosquitoes enter nko, what will happen?

Then they made me realize they all sleep in different cars everyday and only go home at the end of the year except there’s an emergency at home. Like, that’s where they live.

I nearly ran mad. Are you joking? You need to see how they guide their cars like it’s their mini home. Realizing where they all came from, it’s almost impossible to go home everyday due to cost and who will rent apartment for you in Ikeja? They took turns narrating all the styles they use to sleep. Imagine the inconvenience sitting to sleep everyday and they somehow still send money home.

The life of men just hard anyhow.

“I cook for my husband”= You’re a slave

“We split the bills”= Your husband is useless

“I spoil my wife”= You’re a simp

“I dress modestly”= You’re in an abusive marriage

“My wife and I make decisions together”= You’re not a real man

“I can’t do random nights out because I’m married” = You’re husband/wife is controlling

“My wife earns more than me”= You’re a useless leech

“My husband is the breadwinner”= You have no say since you bring nothing to the table

“I don’t need a male/female bestie because I’m married”= Your partner is insecure

This is how some of you see the world 😂

Y’all are far too pathetic and miserable to really understand what goes into making a marriage successful. Happy couples should keep it to themselves because you guys will find a fault in everything they do.
