Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has become widely discussed in America because of a statement he made during a press conference.
Journalist:
“Today, there were very strong winds in the state of New Jersey, and security officials advised members of the delegation not to go outside for your own safety. Why did you go out to perform the prayer?”
Pape Thiaw:
“Is there anything more important than prayer? I do not think that is your concern. You fear the wind, while we fear Allah, the One who created the wind. We came here for a game of entertainment, yet we have forgotten that we were created to worship Allah.
Even if the @FIFAWorldCup World Cup final were being played today and we were one of the finalist teams, we would still go out to perform the Jummah prayer, even if it meant losing the championship.
Do not lecture us about the rituals and obligations of our religion.”
This doesn't look good on the returnees.
You were seeking asylum on what basis...
10years and no papers. Yet you started investment.
Anyways, someone should advise him that all those Government promises na Audio money.
"South Africa was denying us the right papers to work with them....they are lazy people..."
Felix, a returnee from South Africa, says foreigners faced hatred and envy for being more hardworking than locals. He thanked the Nigerian government for facilitating their repatriation.
After Review:
1. Dont let Slotball make u beliv Maca is not good enough
2. This is the Isak we bought
3. How Gomez is still a Liverpool player needs to be studied
4. Gakpo has always bin brilliant with his cut inside technique. But as a player, you can't rely on only one skill
The Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Liverpool on December 4, 2024, at St. James' Park lived up to its billing as a classic, ending in a thrilling 3–3 draw. ⚽️🔥🔥
Newcastle took a deserved lead into half-time after a blistering opening half hour, but an explosive second half saw league leaders Liverpool turn the game around through individual brilliance before the Magpies salvaged a point in the dying moments. 🔥⚽️
What a match and what a dramatic battle ⚽️🔥
@Iamkolotayo@ChuksEricE D people standing are not d problem. the uniform put dem in position where dey av to obey orders
Most of dem too dont want to be dere
If you discuss with dis offers on a personal level not as an officer. they Also don't like the situation.
But everyone has to protect dere job.
Alexander Isak had a first season of injuries and setbacks at Liverpool.
But whenever he plays he shows why he’s worth every penny of the £125m Liverpool spent on him.
What are your expectations for him next season?? #LFC
My dear people of Osun State,
I write today with a heavy heart to commiserate with all Osun citizens who have suffered injuries, losses, and trauma as a result of the recent wave of political violence witnessed across different parts of our dear state.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and loved ones. I pray that God grants speedy recovery to those who sustained injuries and comfort to all who have been affected by these unfortunate incidents.
As a democrat, I firmly believe in the sanctity of the ballot box and the principle of one-man-one-vote.
Democracy is a contest of ideas, vision and service to the people. There is no political office, including the office of Governor, that is worth the blood of any human being. No ambition is greater than the value of human life, and no electoral victory can justify violence against fellow citizens.
I am deeply disturbed by reports of attacks on members and supporters of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in different parts of Osun State.
In Owode-Ede, supporters of our party were attacked yesterday, while buses belonging to our campaign were vandalized and damaged.
Similarly, in Ifeland, APC members participating in a peaceful Walk-to-Live rally were attacked by hoodlums said to be associated with the ruling government. Reports indicate that several participants sustained injuries during the incident.
In Osogbo, our members and supporters were also subjected to physical assaults, while there are claims that some individuals were shot at during the attacks. The full extent of the injuries and any possible fatalities has not been independently verified, but every report of violence against innocent citizens is deeply troubling and unacceptable.
I condemn all forms of political violence, regardless of who the perpetrators may be. Those who seek power through intimidation, fear, and lawlessness have no place in our democratic society.
The primary responsibility of government is the protection of lives and property. Unfortunately, many citizens of Osun State today feel increasingly vulnerable and insecure. The growing atmosphere of intimidation, violence, and political intolerance should concern every lover of democracy and every stakeholder in the future of Osun State.
By the grace of Almighty God and through the overwhelming support of the good people of Osun State, when I am entrusted with the responsibility of leading our state, the safety and security of our people will be a top priority of my administration. We shall build a state where citizens can freely exercise their democratic rights without fear of harassment, intimidation, or violence.
My administration will maintain zero tolerance for criminality. We shall not harbour criminals, encourage lawlessness, or look the other way while criminal elements operate under political protection as we currently have it in the state. The rule of law shall prevail, and all citizens shall be equal before the law.
I urge our people to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and steadfast in their commitment to democracy. Let us not respond to provocation with violence. Let us continue to place our faith in God and in the power of the ballot.
The current season of political brigandage, intolerance, and governance on auto-pilot shall not endure forever. Relief is on the horizon.
Beginning from November 27, by the grace of God and with the support of the people, a truly progressive government will be ushered in, one that will place the welfare, security, prosperity, and peace of Osun people above every other consideration.
Together, we shall restore confidence in government, strengthen our democratic institutions, and return Osun State to the path of progress and shared prosperity.
May God bless Osun State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
@adeyanjubiodun@VillageParrot An innocent trader died

But no problem, one of ur family or u would be victim one day so u could count urself
My attention has been drawn to the interview granted to Channels TV and NJENJE MEDIA TV by Obunike Ohaegbu, the NDC House of Representatives aspirant for Nnewi North and South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency to the effect that he did not tell me directly that Peter Obi said that he should pay N10m to NDC account for nomination fee. I have been laughing since then. In all honesty, I cannot even say everything this man told me about Peter Obi just to preserve the remaining of Peter Obi’s tattered reputation. Indeed, I asked him a question when we were discussing orally, “are you telling me that Peter Obi is the head of this criminal gang that defrauded you people?” He answered “Peter Obi is the head, stomach, and feet of the criminal gang.” As a matter of fact, he pleaded with me to save our people from the criminality of Peter Obi. I told him to put it in writing. His message was so long that he had to apologise for the length. Please tell me, if a person said that Peter Obi was writing list of aspirants in John Wood Hotel, Abuja, who didn’t win election in NDC, to become candidates for NDC, what else is criminality? He even stated clearly that Peter Obi wrote Senator Victor Umeh’s name as a candidate when he lost. He referred to Peter Obi as my friend in some of his allegations against Peter Obi. I asked him to clarify that “my friend” which he wrote was Peter Obi, and he expressly admitted that.
See the WhatsApp messages where he confirmed he was talking about Peter Obi.
Please see some excerpts as directly stated by Obunike Ohaegbu:
“My brother, The entire NDC project, at least from my personal experience, has left me feeling deceived and profoundly disappointed ... While other states, particularly Kano and several states in the North, appeared to be engaged in negotiations and consultations aimed at achieving consensus, neither I nor, to the best of my knowledge, any aspirant from Anambra State was invited to any meeting for the purpose of negotiating or agreeing a consensus arrangement. Consequently, I mobilised my supporters and participated fully in the primary election process in the belief that the outcome would determine the party’s candidates. This naturally raises a fundamental question. If no consensus meeting was held with the aspirants in Anambra State, and no agreement was reached amongst those seeking nomination, my brother Ken, how did your friend arrive at the list of candidates that he allegedly produced at Johnwood Hotel in Abuja? Consensus, by its very nature, requires consultation, negotiation and agreement amongst stakeholders. Where there is no consultation, no negotiation and no agreement, there can be no consensus. If aspirants were directed to participate in primaries while candidate lists were allegedly being prepared elsewhere, then serious questions arise about the integrity of the entire process. If that is not fraud, then the word fraud must have another meaning ... The list reportedly included individuals who did not emerge from the primary process. Indeed, even Senator Victor Umeh, who reportedly lost his contest, appeared on the list. Yet, as of today, 7 June 2026, the party has still not published the official results of the primaries ... Even more disturbing is the fact that the same statement signed by the National Secretary appeared to shift responsibility for the Anambra situation to PO. I have read the statement several times and remain unable to understand how a political party can conduct primaries, refuse to publish results, claim to have completed appeals, produce a controversial list of candidates, and then seek to place responsibility elsewhere.”
In a nutshell, this is what Jagora said in this interview for our families who can't hear hausa.
I understand that Me and Peter Obi have so many things in common, having so many youths who believe in us, and we shared the common ideology of good education, farming, economic growths and human capital development.
He went further and said that he knew that him and Atiku had no any problem, and he's sure that all those political dogs who were barking were doing it without the consent of their Godfathers.
He said that being a vice to Peter Obi isn't just gonna be like being a spare part of this movement. They sit down and talk in dialogue with Peter Obi camp, and PO assured them that his vice is gonna be active, especially with RMK track record of good education, security, and many sectors that's he is good to run.
RMK said that he's very sure that PO is gonna keep his promise of doing his 1 tenure and support 1 tenure of the north.
He went further and said that if you know him, he has the record of being truth to his course, so he's into NDC to win and nothing more.
He said he's not fighting anybody, he's always fighting for the good people of Nigeria, he doesn't have an enermy rather than trying to to bring change to the nation.
Lastly, Comrade Aminu was picked over gawuna out of good wishes and wisdom not out of sentiment or anything, just yestereve we re together with all of them and we wish them success all.
Or maybe Atiku to stop from contesting since 1993, and allow a new generation
Or maybe Atiku should allow south to finish their 8years in d name of equity
It has been confirmed that Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna is dumping the NDC for the ADC.
The 2027 elections in Kano will now be between the ADC and the APC; Kwankwasiyya is completely out of the game.
