I couldn’t bring myself to care about you attending the Grand Prix but you see this, “Only Black man to…” “First Black man to…”

What usually follows is some utterly mundane achievement that you think is some racial milestone, it lowkey reeks of an inferiority complex.
You’ve been doing alright for a few years now, settle in already.

Many Africans need to unlearn this mindset. It is a subtle form of mental servitude that conditions people to view ordinary participation in global spaces as extraordinary simply because a Black person is involved.

Worse, it encourages Africans to seek status over one another through proximity to institutions, activities, or standards they subconsciously regard as belonging to someone else.

Who was the first white man to eat amala? Who cares about the first white man to speak Yoruba? Who was the first white man to dance to Afrobeats or Fuji? Nobody knows, and nobody cares.

Yet you as an African cannot announce the most routine activity without attaching “Black” to it. If white people do something every day, why must a Black person doing the same thing be framed as a historic breakthrough?

Repent. He is coming.

If I were the USA, I’d deny all countries visas and then declare myself world champion without playing since FIFA can’t intervene or do anything.

Senegal proclaiming “one faith” when it’s founding father was a minority Christian is hilarious

[Nora @Heal_within96]

Africa is underdeveloped because:

1) Every nationalistic leader was murdered, and the current leaders are obedient puppets to the Western hegemonies.

2) Western companies continue to steal resources.

3) They continue to fund coups/instabilities, preventing any chance of peace, which would have instigated development.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Mexico vs South Africa:

If we support south Africa they'll say we are taking their jobs.

[Vince™ @Blue_Footy]

But African players will be allowed to play. US authorities, make it make sense. If the Ref doesn't have any criminal record, why won't he be allowed to do his job? Or at least openly tell us the reasons behind your decision.

This isn't right.

S. Africa, Brazil and Qatar were all painted a certain way and had their own issues but at no point were they actively stopping players, teams, referee and fans from participating in the biggest sporting event, 3 days before it starts. America gotta be the worst hosts ever

[failed @unnamedbutalone]

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.

The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.

Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.

🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.

“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”

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.

Just go through the replies and quote tweets on that post, and you'll see a textbook example of double standards.

In my post yesterday, one particularly ignorant commenter argued that Bayelsa does not have good roads and therefore has no business building a stadium. According to that line of reasoning, Governor Alex Otti deserves to embark on a legacy project because he has already delivered the basics.

Honestly, I got tired of reading the comments because, at some point, the level of bias became an eyesore.

If we're being objective and comparing records, only a handful of governors can match Governor Douye Diri's achievements in infrastructural development. Beyond roads and bridges, his administration has made significant investments in education through the construction, renovation, upgrading, and equipping of schools across the state.

In the power sector, the state-owned gas turbine is already supplying electricity to parts of Yenagoa, while testing, maintenance work, transformer replacements, and power line upgrades continue ahead of full-scale operations.

The administration has also recorded notable progress in areas such as security, healthcare, commerce and investment, youth development, and empowerment, among others.

Yet, somehow, some people believe Governor Diri should not build a befitting legacy project for the state.

It is interesting how the same project can be hailed as visionary in one state and condemned as wasteful in another. That is the very definition of a double standard.

According to reports there has been talks about bringing Lacroix to Chelsea. PL proven CB, good age. Would be a great signing I’ll be honest

@mc_lively_ I could say the same thing to you but that would be me assuming you have a brain.
