This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.

The mistake world football made was allowing Chelsea to win all European trophies including new Club World Cup.🤭

@Blue_Footy Having a leao and jackson on the same team is an invitation to HBP health crisis. Is this even a topic? On yeah, engagement and monetization must happen 😁
@thee_ovie@kusssman Did you also see how the ref curtailed Rice’s rascality with a yellow card booking? He kept on protesting for a PK during play moments after the game had moved on. Man thot it was PL where the ref would have pandered to his whims. SMH
“Only team not to concede a Pk or red card in a premier league season”
Lol. We told you VAR and PGMOL have been helping you lots. 😂😂
No way you play that way and not concede pk with proper officiating. They even escaped one today 😂😂

What an amazing ride!
Ten years ago, I started @TheTempleCo with more belief than blueprint. We were convinced that African creativity deserved serious, structured, institutional backing. That conviction became a company. The company became a home for some of the most talented people I have ever had the privilege of working alongside.
As we mark a decade, I am stepping down as the person who runs this place. It is a moment I approach with gratitude, pride, and, if I am being honest, a fair amount of emotion.
Building Temple has been one of the defining experiences of my life. Not because of the deals closed or the milestones hit, but because of what it taught me about people, about patience, and about what it actually takes to build something with soul. You learn a lot about yourself when you are trying to hold a vision together through the seasons when nothing is going as planned. Temple gave me plenty of those seasons. It also gave me some of the most beautiful breakthroughs I could have asked for.
But what I will carry longest are the people. The intern who walked in uncertain and walked out with a career. The creatives who came through Gidi Creative Centre and found, maybe for the first time, a space that took their talent seriously. The young people we did not just hire but genuinely invested in, and who have gone on to do remarkable things. We were always trying to close the gap between raw talent and real opportunity in Nigeria's creative economy. Looking back, I believe we moved that needle. That means more to me than anything else on this list.
None of it happened alone.
I want to acknowledge our Chairman and our Board, who shaped this journey in ways I will always carry. They brought wisdom, steadiness, rigour, and a standard of excellence that raised everything around it. They gave more than their time. They gave genuine investment in what we were trying to build. I am grateful beyond what these words can hold.
To the quartet that started with me, the SCAs, teams, partners, clients, collaborators, and creatives who chose to place their trust in Temple across these ten years: you are the story. Every room we filled, every project we delivered, every conversation that pushed an idea further than it would have gone alone. That is yours as much as it is mine.
As for what comes next, I am handing over to @TerfaTG. I do not say this as a formality. I say it because I mean it: I could not be more confident in this choice. Terfa brings the intelligence, the character, and the appetite for this work that Temple deserves in its next chapter. Leadership transitions are how you find out whether an institution was built around a person or built to last. I believe Temple was built to last.
I leave carrying more than I arrived with. More understanding of what creativity requires to thrive in this environment. More respect for the people who show up every day and do the work. More conviction that what we set out to do, taking African creative culture seriously and building it with discipline and ambition, still matters enormously and still has a long way to go.
The privilege of being part of this for ten years is not something I take lightly.
To everyone who made Temple what it is: thank you. Genuinely.
And to Terfa: the house is yours now. Take care of it. Take it further.
