El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
This is a contradiction we have to recognize. When we are going to Europe, Europeans don't like it. When we stay at home and try to fix our own countries, Europeans also don't like it. What do they want, then?
Total slavery and subservience from us Africans. It's not just their resources that depend on it. It's also their identity. It's a strange thing, as Toni Morrison put it, to feel tall only when others are on their knees. That's Europe's problem. The feudal class hierarchy is still in their bloodstream.
The federal ministry of works came out and lied that they have paid N700b to contractors whereas they only paid N40b.
The level of corruption under this government is alarming.
Where did all the money they borrowed go to?
What are they doing with the budget?
Joshua Maponga On Western Hypocrisy In Africa
What are some European activities in Africa that are accepted as normal, but which actually makes no sense and are of no benefit to the world?
Zimbabwean author and philosopher Joshua Maponga dives into some of them in this clip from 2025. What are your thoughts?
Let us know in the comments.
At least after this year nobody will come online to tell us "We fought Abacha".
Both NADECO and western Democracy have both been exposed as nothing but complete and utter, monumental sham.
🇧🇫🇫🇷Burkina Faso formally end all diplomatic relations with France:
In a news that is likely to send shockwave across the imperialist world, Burkina Faso announced it is ending diplomatic relations with France, following the EU resolution that was spareheaded by Paris.
The consequences of this decision is that the French embassy in Burkina Faso will will forced to close .
PSA: It's not the poor, powerless foreigners you should be worries about. It's the rich ones who want to buy entire swathes of your national territory and turn them into literal colonies that aren't subject to your country's laws - those are your real nightmares.
Côte d'Ivoire has played a very specific role in Africa since the 1960s and unfortunately, minus the brief, unconvincing and unsuccessful Gbagbo experiment, that has not changed at all.
However bad you imagine its geopolitical role is, it's probably worse than that.
We treat our children like slaves from childhood, and then we wonder why we ended up with a nation full of cowards...
Look at the contrast in those pictures. In rich schools and homes, kids are raised to have voice, to question, to negotiate, to carry themselves with worth... In poor/government schools, the lesson is different: “Shut up and endure.” Teacher humiliates you for the slightest things and call it discipline… You complain and your poor parents either can’t fight back or they beat you at home…
So you learn early: your dignity doesn’t matter, that authority is not to be questioned, just survive... This conditioning kills curiosity, it kills the instinct to stand up for yourself… It turns potential leaders into people who grow up bowing to every small power; from wicked teachers to corrupt bosses to terrible politicians... No wonder we have a country where people endure bad roads, bad governance, insecurity, and exploitation without collective pushback... We were trained for it from primary school… Poverty alone doesn’t create this... It’s the mindset we pass down: small people oppressing even smaller ones to feel big... Until we start raising kids (rich or poor) to know their worth, to ask questions, and to reject nonsense, we’ll keep producing generations that accept mediocrity as normal...
“And what is my fault in Kebbi ?
I stood up here in the Senate to tell Nigerians to assist us that bandits are killing us.
And suddenly, the governor thought, I was fighting him.
I have never fought to the governor.
I have nothing against him.
But my people that sent me here asked me to cry, and I cried.
And they appreciate it. 3 years since Tinubu’s government, 3 years.
2023, 2024, and 2025.
The budget has not been implemented.
He has never implement a budget.
How does a country run without a budget?
The selective financing of project, and we have borrowed and borrowed and borrowed.
Where is the money we are borrowing?
All the revenue generating agency in this country told us they have exceeded their target.
Where is the money going?”
Senator representing Kebbi state, voices out his frustration with Tinubu led administration.
You've been hearing about the so-called "Olodo Uprising".
Here's a wider angle on this phenomenon to help you contextualise what you are actually witnessing, why it is happening and who is ultimately behind it (hint: it's not Peller - he's just a symptom!)
N701 BILLION meant for Nigerian states was diverted from the Federation Account to fund APC campaigns, and now greedy governors are fighting over the spoils.
That stolen money could have built 14,000 modern healthcare clinics.
Your taxes are at work.
