During the Hiyaa flat application, I was working at Velana International Airport as a resort representative, but I was disqualified because my company was registered in Noonu Atoll and my job was treated as island/resort work, even though I actually worked in Greater Malé.
I submitted a complaint but never got a response. Later, the final lists changed very little under the next government. I believe both governments failed to properly fix the issue.
The reality is I don’t have a real home. On my island I have only a sofa at my grandmother’s or aunt’s place. If I apply there, I’m told I don’t live there. If I apply in Malé, I’m told I haven’t lived there long enough. People like us are left stuck in between.
Meanwhile, Hiyaa flats are being rented for MVR 15,000–20,000. These homes were meant for people in need.
Wrong strategies and impulsive decisions will reset the entire board for the worse, explode energy infrastructure and markets and create an endless quagmire that you will be stuck in for years.
You will see a different Iran.
Thank you for the trust, support and memories. We fought together till the end.
Thank you @PepTeam for changing football and changing us as players and people.
And to my brothers John Stones and Bernardo Silva - legends forever.
Once City, always City. 🩵
Before I joined the club, Pep was already an inspiration for me. To become his player and after 9 years end up being the one with most games played under him is truly an honour. He arrived at Man City, and the Premier League couldn’t be dominated playing his way… Well, they were wrong. Not only he dominated, he changed the game in England as he did in other countries before. The hunger and ambition to want more and more even after winning and winning again was a big inspiration. For me personally, he was and will always be my father of football. A lot of the things that many managers in the past thought were weaknesses of my game, he saw it as strengths and understood me from day one. On a personal level, the kindness, trust and respect that we had for each other makes me the proudest and goes beyond football. I couldn’t be more grateful for what he did for me and my family. Thank you for all the memories and experiences to the greatest manager ever Pep Guardiola! 😄
A coach who never stopped teaching. It sounds crazy to say this, but you made greatness feel normal. Even after hat-tricks, wins and trophies, there was always another lesson, another challenge and another level to reach. That mentality changed this club forever and changed me too. The honour of a lifetime to work with the best. Thank you for everything, boss 🙏🏻 🩵
Pep - what can I say? Where do I start? ✍️🩵
It’s difficult to truly describe the impact Pep has had - not only on Manchester City as a football club, but on everything around it as well. The trophies and achievements speak for themselves. But what made him special was always much bigger than winning.
For me personally, he was never just a manager. He was a mentor, a leader and also a friend.
From the very first day we worked together, he challenged me to see football differently. Every detail mattered. Every meter on the pitch had a purpose. There were moments when his intensity pushed all of us to our limits mentally and physically - but looking back, that obsession with perfection is exactly what made his teams so extraordinary.
What many people don’t see from the outside is the human side of Pep. Beyond football, he is incredibly humble, thoughtful and someone who genuinely cares about the people around him.
Over the years, I was lucky enough to experience that side of him very closely. He made me a better player, but also a better person.
When I look back on my career one day, my time working with Pep will always be one of the defining chapters of my journey.
ManCity without Pep will never be the same again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, my family, the football club, the community and Manchester as a whole. 🩵
Looking forward to seeing you at the game on Sunday! @PepTeam 🙏
Arsenal finally won the Premier League after 22 years of patience and trusting the "Process".
They clearly studied some country's playbook. An insider in the club says the country's name rhymes with "he ran", but they never ran. Instead, they built their own 'arsenal', trained their own 'gunners', and trusted their own 'process' for 47 years.
Elsewhere, a golf-loving leader heard "process" and asked for extra processed cheese on his burger without showing any 'patience'.
You don't follow Iranian embassies. THEY find you.
One retweet and suddenly your whole timeline looks like an "Iranian embassies" group chat. Your barber is debating Hormuz. Your alley cat has radicalized opinions on maritime law.
Monkeys in Delhi are stealing phones just to follow us before handing them back. A band of pigeons just dropped their debut single "Goodbye Imperialism."
Don't resist Zafar. We didn't choose this life either. But a certain President keeps tweeting and we simply cannot stop.
