A football acquittance called this game, he said France has no midfield to challenge Spain. I feel they didn't prepare well for this game. The believed their bubble 😭 😢

I once watched a woman cry uncontrollably at the hospital after her sister’s late-stage cervical cancer diagnosis. She kept crying, saying that if somebody had told them there was a vaccine for cervical cancer, they would have gotten it. But it was already too late.
Ignorance is too expensive, and cervical cancer is one of the only cancers we can actually prevent with a simple shot. The HPV vaccine is that prevention.
Stop leaving your health to chance. Protect your daughters and yourself today. Get your HPV vaccine this week.
If Arne Slot leaves in the summer, I’ll thank him for delivering the Premier League title and I’ll still call him a Liverpool legend. Winning the league in your first season deserves respect, no matter how this ends.
But at the same time, you cannot:
Lose 9 out of 12 games
Lose twice to City, Utd, Galatasaray and PSG
Lose three times to Palace
Drop points at Anfield to Igor Tudor’s Tottenham and Callum McFarlane’s Chelsea
Fail to beat a single promoted side at home
Lose to a Wolves side that has only won 3 league games all season
Lose 3-0 at home to Forest
Get battered 4-1 at home by PSV
Concede the most goals from set pieces in the league
Lose 18 games in a season
… and still expect to keep your job as Liverpool manager.
And the scary thing is, the season still isn’t over.
I have been meaning to say something to you @delish_farms but I am afraid it would come off as me being Jealous cos then you will think I don’t want you to succeed in my industry.
Today, I am going to tell you anyways.
“Agriculture is NOT a career path you should take if you want to be a SUCCESSFUL person”
You can have your farm by the side while you develop more high paying skillset.
I see you put in most of the work, please stop it and Employ 1-2 people to do it for you.
I am going to save this tweet and come back to it in 3 years.
If you have succeeded, I then owe you 1,000,000 Naira for typing this RUBBISH.
I hold a degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, so let me explain this in language everyone can understand.
This might be long, but bear with me.
Milk is a specific biological product, and what makes it nutritionally “milk” is the package: milk protein, lactose, milk fat, the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K that travel inside that fat, and calcium and phosphorus in a ratio the body absorbs well. Take any of those out, and you have changed the food, and that makes it “altered” or “biochemistry.” See? It's no longer biological.
So what @wearegst is saying is: Fat-Filled Milk Powder removes the milk fat and replaces it with vegetable fat — almost always palm oil (strained or bleached palm oil) in the Nigerian market. The protein is retained, although most of its value is lost due to preprocessing. So most of the time, palm oil stands in for milk fat.
Cheaper, longer shelf life, looks the same in the tin. Nutritionally, it is not the same product, and the differences are not academic. Once you strip the milk fat, you strip the vitamins A, D, E, and K.
And unless the manufacturer fortifies back to milk levels, and many do not, or do so inconsistently, you have removed the nutrients that justify giving milk to a child in the first place. You see how the semantics of using “Filled Milk” are actually dangerous? Because it’s technically “stripped milk.”
Vitamin A deficiency is already a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness in Nigeria. A mother feeding her toddler “milk” twice a day, believing she is protecting the child’s eyes, bones, and immune system, may be feeding a sweetened palm oil suspension mixed with milk protein.
So let’s talk about palm oil. It's roughly 50% saturated fat, dominated by palmitic acid, which raises LDL cholesterol. Milk fat is also saturated, but its fatty acid profile differs, and it's better because it contains short- and medium-chain fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, and fat-globule membrane structures that matter for infant gut and brain development. The problem, @0xkitng, is that Nigeria carries one of the fastest-growing cardiovascular disease burdens in sub-Saharan Africa. We are quietly feeding the epidemic with a tin that features a cow.
For infants and small children, the stakes are highest because the WHO and Codex Alimentarius are explicit that filled milk products should not be marketed in ways that suggest equivalence to milk for young child feeding. In Nigeria, through the help of the language @NafdacAgency uses, that line is crossed everyday. And on top of the nutrition cost is the deception cost—we are technically paying for whole milk and getting a formulated, cheaper milk-lookalike.
When you said NAFDAC defines milk “by content, not by label” because I read your entire thread, your argument was technically supporting what @wearegst was saying. By content, FFMP fails the definition of milk; that is exactly why the Schedule lists “Filled Milk” as its own category, with its own composition (about 3% fat, of which 28–40% is vegetable). By label, Regulation 3(5) requires any modification to milk be disclosed “in close proximity to the name.” A cow on the front, “milk” in large type, and “vegetable fat” hidden in small print on the back is not in close proximity to anything. Content and label point the same way: it is not milk, and the law says the difference must be made obvious.
I'll stop here. The @gatefieldco narrative is just dead. If you love Nigeria and are pro-Nigeria as you said, you'll care about what you, your parents, and your siblings take in. gst is actually advocating for you.
Any questions?
One of my greatest mistake in Life as a Farmer is being a FARMER.
I shouldn’t have invested in a sector that is dependent on Government policies and bottlenecks.
In my line of business,there’s no escaping Government inefficiencies.
Nigerian Government will do everything in agriculture except solving problems.
For more than 20 years farmers have been saying that we suffer seasonal Glut because we simply cannot individually afford Machinery for Egg Pasteurization.
Government will listen to our complaints, lie that they are coming up with a NEGPRO scheme and go ahead to simply do the opposite of what was agreed.
With high Electricity and Gas prices, investors are guaranteed not make their money back as Egg powder produced in Nigeria will fail to compete with Global market.
Companies will rather import than buy made in Nigeria raw materials.
State Governors are worse, they simply have no clue of what to do outside of using fertilizer as a political tool.
They have refused to build or sustain any critical infrastructure (Dams, Health and safety of animals, meaningful collaborations or Training)
The CBN under Emefiele refused to allow the Bank of Agriculture to do its job.
With the growing insecurity and policy missteps farmers in Nigeria have little to no incentive to continue to run or grow their businesses.
Don’t go into Agriculture, it’s simply not worth it.
@Oluolaseun@LFC@Carra23 Kilodeeee!!! That's his opinion and I agree with some names, especially Gerrard in number 1 but Salah should be in top 3/5 not 6.
