Gender Wars?
Should they even exist?
Just know that whatever is making you fight a particular gender is done by your gender too. These people exist in all genders so why are you always attacking the opposite gender?
The real war is against indiscipline and people who....
A few years ago, I was at a shoot where all the girls were talking about how men had stressed them. Everyone had a story except one girl. She tried to relate, but genuinely couldn’t. When they asked her why, she simply said, with so much confidence, “I am with a very good man.”
Everyone has a favourite player, and I respect that.
Football is subjective, everyone has their own preference.
It wasn’t the trophies that made me love Ronaldo, it was his style of play and his mentality. From the moment I became a fan, I stood by him. For me, it’s about loyalty, once I choose, I stay loyal.
I’m just grateful that I’ve had the chance to witness his incredible career, and I’m looking forward to enjoying every moment that’s still to come.
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:
"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"
"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
Cristiano Ronaldo may have played his final FIFA World Cup match. 🥹🇵🇹
A record-breaker, a leader, and the only player in history to score at six different World Cups. From unforgettable moments to countless goals, he leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.
Thank you for the memories, Cristiano. 🐐❤️
Burkinabé students now need government permission to study abroad. This means that whether your father is a cabinet minister or a private millionaire, there is no way for their children to escape the state of the country's educational system
Which leaves them no choice but to make sure that the facilities available to students in the country are befitting of their own children.
That is how a country develops an actual elite. Not like Nigeria where as soon as I finished secondary school, my parents put me on a plane to England to enjoy a standard of education that no Nigerian alive today will ever enjoy in Nigeria. The class my parents belong to is called a pseudo-elite.
A proper elite is what is coming together now in the AES. Just wait. If there is no change of Nigeria's trajectory, within 10 years, Nigerians will start going to university in Burkina Faso and making it out to be a status symbol.
Harry Kane overtakes Cristiano Ronaldo's highest goal scoring season to become the outright second best goal scorer in a single season in the 21st century
1- Lionel Messi (11/12) 82 goals
2- Harry Kane (25/26) 70 goals
3- Cristiano Ronaldo (11/12) & Lionel Messi (12/13) 69 goals
The algorithms have owners. The owners have location-specific agendas. The things the algorithms push in front of your eyeballs are determined by your location and the owners' agenda for it.
That's why there are several Nigerian TikTok creators and streamers who make interesting, engaging content about Nigerian history and current affairs, but except you stumble across them, you won't even know that they exist. What the algorithm will constantly push to your Nigerian eyeballs instead is "Peller" and "Jarvis."
There are funny and intelligent Nigerian stand-up comedians like Bovi who upload Instagram Reels content, but the algorithm will not regularly push them to you. If not for their large offline following, you would barely notice them. The Instagram Reels algorithm will instead constantly push brainrot Nigerian skitmakers to saturate your Nigerian brain with the psychological equivalent of codeine.
If you want to know what agenda the algorithm owners have in mind for a specific location, simply find out who the algorithms have made famous in that location. And if you live in a location where the algorithms want to fill your head with nothing but mindless brainrot, you owe a responsibility to yourself to resist being programmed by rich people who are literally trying to code stupidity into entire populations.
Because everything is war.
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
