The #EndSARS protests are in danger. Not by the youths, we still reserve our right to protest. But by hoodlums sponsored by people of power. They don't just want the protests to end, the want it to be rubbished.

They want the elder citizens, the people watching to lament...

We condemn in the strongest terms the appearance of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani, at a partisan event promoting a particular candidate in the upcoming general election.

We understand that the rudderless APC-led administrations have no iota of respect for our institutions, but seeing a Commissioner of Police at a partisan event can only point to one thing: HE WILL BE BIASED in the discharge of his duties during the elections. We therefore demand that the @PoliceNG authorities immediately suspend and sanction the Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani.

We further demand:
- That the Police authorities make a firm commitment to playing a neutral role in the upcoming election.

- That the Police authorities protect voters and supporters of other candidates who are not members of the ruling party.

- That the Police ensure the safety of the lives and property of all voters, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or party affiliation.

Finally, we demand that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police tender his resignation immediately for denigrating the institution of the Police.

Why the voter registration exercise should be extended.

As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections.

Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections.

Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians.

I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it.

A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO

Llegó el momento de terminar con tanta locura y escuchar lo que decía el mejor del mundo, MESSI 🇦🇷

“No todo pasa por ganar, valoremos más las cosas.”

“El grupo que jugó las 3 finales y fue maltratado, ojalá no vuelva a pasar. Disfrutemos de las cosas conseguidas”

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. Don’t miss this trust me.

I just want to put one final point on Messi’s story: football has never truly been an individual sport—except when it came to him.

Football is a team game. No matter how great you are, you still need the players around you to compete, even if the entire system is built to maximize your strengths.

Yet even with Messi, people kept repeating the same old narrative about Xavi, Iniesta, and Guardiola. The reality is that Messi only spent about four years playing with that historic generation, and even that team looked lost before Guardiola arrived. Messi contributed just as much to their greatness as they did to his.

When that generation left, Barcelona became almost entirely dependent on Messi for two years. Then Luis Enrique arrived, along with Suárez and Neymar, not to carry Messi, but to help share the burden.

After Neymar left, and with Suárez well past his best, Messi was once again carrying Barcelona almost entirely by himself, surrounded by average players. He was one game away from another historic treble, and once again, he was the team’s standout player.

Many people forget that in 2014, after Messi became La Liga’s all-time leading scorer with a hat-trick against Sevilla, Barcelona fans were handed flyers asking: “What if you woke up tomorrow and Messi was no longer at Barcelona?” Even then, some people still couldn’t bring themselves to give him the credit he deserved.

Messi even wanted to leave in 2020, and the situation nearly ended up in court. But he stayed because he didn’t want to fight the club he loved. In the end, he was still forced out in one of the saddest exits in football history.

Argentina was no different.

For years, Messi carried one of the worst-run national teams in modern football. In 2010, Maradona played Germany with four attackers because he believed more forwards meant more goals. Argentina lost 4–0.

Yet Messi was the one blamed.

He was called a failure, a choker, and a coward by people who ignored the reality that, without him, Argentina might not even have qualified for the 2014 World Cup. Every Copa América final they reached was because Messi got them there in the first place.

The difference was enormous: with Messi, Argentina reached finals; without him, they struggled even against much weaker opponents.

The 2022 World Cup wasn’t just about a great team—it was also about Messi bringing confidence, leadership, and belief to a group of players who followed him. He carried the responsibility while everyone else played their role.

Even in the latest World Cup, at 39 years old, Messi was covering huge areas of the pitch, playing 120 minutes repeatedly, and constantly finding new ways to win games almost by himself.

Most people will never care about these details or this context. Future generations will only look at trophies and short tournaments.

In the end, every argument people used against Messi eventually disappeared. They said he had no World Cup—he won it. They said he had no Copa América—he won it too.

To me, Messi is the most unfairly judged player in football history. No player has been blamed for more things beyond his control or had more false narratives attached to his name.

That’s Messi’s story—through logic, reality, and everything he had to endure.

@Kaynuel2 @OurFavOnlineDoc You don't understand the implications and consequences of this hate campaign going on rn.

Its something serious, it's okay that you think it isn't.

Kids are being told lies by adults and these lies will shape their perception of football,Argentina, Messi throughout their life.

But they wanted spain to win because of Lamine Yamal.

@BrainyPoet @OurFavOnlineDoc The FIFA president. In what situation ever has Infantino ever been refered to as the FIFA manager?

[Shobo @__shobo]

@AmosAce01 @OurFavOnlineDoc So the kids couldnt say FIFA but they could say Manager. OK.

You saying FIFA is on argentinas side, I cant argue with a take like that.

Because if I ask you why you think that youll bring up conspiracy theories, AI images.
