You see the clown show happening in Spain right now, where the most typical CIA/MOSSAD operation of all time is happening, and you think you can beat these bloodthirsty colonizers without being authoritarian.

These guys are trying to remove Pedro Sanchez for his pro Palestinian views and are willing to light a European country on fire to do so.

A nation that by and large should and STILL is Western in inclination.

And yet, they're doing this to teach one man and anyone who thinks like him a lesson.

Yet some Nigerians without 2 brain cells to rub together think you can squash such obvious subversion attempts as a democracy.

The ONLY way your people you can save your people from turning to roadkill or prevent your God-given resources from being plundered is by having a strong, autocratic government that serves the interests of the people.

No bullshit legislature 99% of whom have stolen wealth stashed in western banks. Children in Western schools. And cabinets of dirt and blackmail in Western intelligence agencies.

Electoral democracy as a developing nation is lunacy. It a disease. It will lead us nowhere.

What we need is a Nigerian version of the CPC with equal, fair representation of our ethnic and religious composition.

We don't need bullshit democracy where all progress is in 4year start and stop cycles.

And where the stupid electoral democracy is nothing but a thumb printing exercise where the winner has long since been decided in Washington, Tel Aviv and London.

There is a reason Madrid are the European powerhouse that they are

Fulham are reportedly offering close to €60 million for Gonzalo García. Real Madrid are asking for exactly €60 million. The gap between those two numbers is negligible.

But before you frame this as Fulham splashing money they perhaps should not have, it is worth understanding who exactly they are negotiating with and how that club conducts its financial affairs.

According to the Deloitte Football Money League 2026 report, Real Madrid generated €1.161 billion in revenue in the 2024/25 season. The highest ever recorded by any football club in history, and the third consecutive year they have topped the global rankings.

Their commercial operations alone brought in €594 million, a 23% increase driven by new sponsorships and a renovated Bernabéu that now functions as a year-round entertainment venue generating concerts, events, and experiences that have nothing to do with football.

Forbes separately valued their 2024/25 earnings at $1.27 billion, making it the highest annual revenue ever recorded by a professional sports franchise anywhere in the world, surpassing the Dallas Cowboys.

And yet Real Madrid do not simply rely on commercial income and broadcast rights to fund their operation. They have built a parallel revenue stream through one of the most sophisticated player sales models in world football, and it is built almost entirely on clauses.

When Nico Paz left for Como in 2024, Madrid sold him for a modest fee and retained a buy-back clause worth €9 million in 2026 and a 50% sell-on clause on any future transfer. Tottenham offered over €70 million for him this summer. Real Madrid effectively blocked the deal by invoking their matching rights and the buy-back option. They bought Paz for next to nothing as a teenager, let him develop in Italy on someone else's budget, watched his market value multiply, and now hold the keys to any future transaction involving him.

Victor Muñoz moved to Liverpool this summer. Real Madrid pocketed approximately €25.5 million from that deal while somehow reportedly retaining a buy-back option. A player developed through their academy, sold, and monetised again on exit.

They have done this across two decades. Real Madrid are closing in on €600 million in revenue from academy player sales over the past two decades, a figure that has been built one clause at a time.

Into this context, Fulham are attempting to buy Gonzalo García for €60 million. A 21 year old developed at La Fábrica, Madrid's academy. Reports emerged just today that José Mourinho has blocked the departure, which tells you everything about whether Madrid actually want to sell him.

Now here is the Premier League side of this conversation, because Fulham being willing to spend €60 million on a single young player who has made limited first team appearances at Real Madrid is not recklessness. It is a reflection of where English football's financial power currently sits.

Eight Premier League clubs appear in the Deloitte Money League top 20, more than any other country. Six of the top ten are English. The gap between Premier League broadcast revenue and every other domestic league on the planet has widened every cycle for fifteen years.

A mid-table Premier League club now operates on a commercial and broadcast revenue base that would have been unthinkable for a club of that stature a decade ago. Fulham finished seventh last season. They are not a European giant. And they are preparing to spend €60 million to make a 21 year old the centrepiece of their entire sporting project.

That is what Premier League money has done to the transfer market. And Real Madrid, sitting on €1.161 billion in annual revenue and €600 million in academy player sales, are still the ones with all the leverage.

"I am happy, we won three titles for Portugal"

There was no explanation I didn't do on this video when people were saying Cristian Ronaldo talked down on the FIFA World Cup

But because of agenda, Lionel Messi fans will not listen

Some of them even insulted me

They swallow, believe and ran with the false narratives and it was flying

It is good everything is now in the open

This doesn't even sound like a conspiracy anymore. Something clearly happened behind the scenes before the World Cup Final. Too many things don't add up.

• Scaloni arrived at the stadium and got off the team bus in tears.

• Messi "missed" every shot in the warm-up. In over 20 years, I genuinely can't remember ever seeing that. Was he doing it deliberately, or was his mind somewhere else?

• Messi's family didn't even come to the stadium despite living in Miami.

• The entire squad walked out of the dressing room with their heads down, completely shaken up. Enzo and Licha were both seen crying.

• Messi was heard saying: "Let's forget about everything. Let's just play. Forget about everything." Everyone around him looked devastated.

• Scaloni completely abandoned the tactical approach that had worked throughout the tournament, leaving the midfield exposed against a team whose biggest strength is midfield control. Messi and Julián were isolated all game.

• Argentina had 0 shots on target in 90 minutes, yet Lautaro, one of their biggest attacking weapons, never came on.

• Both Cuti Romero and Lisandro Martínez asked to be substituted because of "injuries", yet neither looked to be in obvious pain. These are arguably the two toughest players in the squad. Interestingly, both also ignored Trump during the trophy presentation.

• Spain committed over 20 fouls without receiving a single card. Oyarzabal's challenge on Messi's knee and Cucurella's foul on Simeone were both obvious booking opportunities.

• Cucurella also somehow escaped a red after covering his mouth during a confrontation with Messi.

• Even Spain's celebrations felt strangely subdued. From a neutral perspective, that's understandable given Argentina never really put on a fight.

This isn't meant to take anything away from Spain. They were World Cup favourites for a reason and fully deserved the title based on what happened on the pitch.

But I've watched this Argentina team since 2021, and I've never seen anything remotely like Sunday. This team's identity has always been its passion, intensity and willingness to fight for every ball. None of that was there.

I'm not claiming to know what happened. Maybe it was connected to the Malvinas incident. Maybe there was pressure from someone powerful. Maybe it involved their families. Maybe it was something else entirely.

But I refuse to believe that what we watched was simply Argentina having an off day.

Too many signs pointed to a squad that looked emotionally broken before the match had even kicked off.

I just hope that one day we find out what really happened behind the scenes.
