🇨🇻 Cape Verde Player Steven Moreira on how he became a Muslim:
“I saw my friend praying every day and fasting in Ramadan. I started asking questions, then I tried it myself. After that, I became Muslim."
“I didn't grow up Muslim, so I was scared at first. I didn't know how my family would react."
"But when I told them, they said: 'You're a better person now.' Alhamdulillah.” ❤️🤲
STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
Re: The Matter of Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew and the fictitious Presidential Economic Advisory Council
We are aware of the public interest in the matter of a man called Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who has been parading himself as the director-general of a fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council cum Presidential Economic Advisory Council.
The office of the Chief of Staff to the President first blew the whistle on the existence of the illegal agency, following complaints from officials of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council that another government agency appeared to be functioning at cross-purposes with it.
The Chief of Staff, on October 17, in a letter, asked the DSS and the Police to probe the activities of ‘fraudsters and imposters’ forging appointment letters purportedly from his office.
“The attention of this office has been drawn to the activities of certain individuals and groups engaged in the forgery of official appointment letters purportedly issued from my office. The fake documents, bearing falsified signatures, reference/folio numbers, and seals, have been used to claim leadership appointments to non-existent entities, with particular reference to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
“The aforementioned entity under the leadership of one Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew as Director-General is said to have an office at the Federal Secretariat Complex Phase 111, 2nd Floor. Also, they have been parading themselves as a legitimate government agency, hosting meetings with both foreigners and Nigerian citizens, and even going so far as to request a note verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States of America to facilitate visas for some of their staff.
“The above development not only constitutes a serious criminal act but also undermines the integrity of the presidency and the credibility of official government communication.
“I therefore urge you to initiate a thorough investigation to identify and apprehend those involved and also to uncover the network facilitating the forgery,” the Chief of Staff wrote in his petition to the security agencies.
The letter to the security agencies was accompanied by a copy of the forged appointment letter, a copy of the request for a note verbal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pictures of engagements obtained from the illegal agency's website.
Around the time the Chief of Staff lodged the complaint with the security agencies, the existence of the fake agency had raised concerns within the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
In a letter on October 15, 2025, the Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote to the office of the National Security Adviser and the Chief of Staff to the President, requesting clarification on the status of Adeyemi’s agency. The letter, which Ambassador Anderson Madubuike signed, followed Adeyemi’s October 10 meeting with ambassadors at the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, without recourse to the ministry.
“This act contravenes extant rules and regulations guiding diplomatic practices globally,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in its letter.
On October 20, the Office of the National Security Adviser wrote to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on the request of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
On 29 October, the OSGF wrote to the Chief of Staff requesting clarification. “This has become expedient owing to several requests from governmental and non-governmental bodies seeking to ascertain the status of the appointment under consideration”
Two days earlier, the Chief of Staff sent his own clear rebuttal to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, stating that he had never issued an appointment letter to Adeyemi as director general of the fake presidential foreign investment promotion council.
🚨🗣️ Rio Ferdinand on Senegal’s defeat to Belgium:
“Senegal will look back at this game and wonder how on earth they let it slip.
You’re 2-0 up in a World Cup knockout match. At that point, you have to be mature. You have to manage the game, slow it down, frustrate Belgium and protect what you’ve worked so hard for.
But they panicked. They allowed Belgium back into the match, and once momentum changed, you could feel the danger coming.
The penalty at the end will be debated because, for me, it looked soft. Very soft. But Senegal cannot hide behind that alone.
Yes, they’ll feel robbed. Yes, the decision was painful. But when you throw away a 2-0 lead at this level, you give the referee a chance to become part of the story.
That’s the harsh truth.
Senegal had the game in their hands, and they let Belgium take it from them.”
The Senegalese President should just courier the AFCON trophy to Morocco, and let’s close this ugly chapter of continental shame. They deserve it, towel theft or not.
🚨 KANO THUGS HAS SEND A STRONG WARNING TO ALL TERRORISTS & THEIR SPONSORS!
“Any fool planning to bring harm to Kano, starting with the notorious terrorist Kachalla Maha should think again nd stay far away!
Kano is NOT like Katsina, Zamfara, or Sokoto. We don’t tolerate bandits or terrorists here.
Our people rose up, fought Boko Haram, Mai-Tatsine and crushed them completely in this state.
Any terrorist who tries to enter Kano will find his FINAL destination right here.
We stand united and ready!”
May Allah continue to protect Kano, protect every part of Nigeria, and grant us lasting peace and security. Ameen!
🚨🎙️ RONALDO NAZARIO ON SENEGAL'S LAST-MINUTE PENALTY HEARTBREAK
🗣️“Senegal will feel so bad about this loss.
They deserve better.
To fight for almost the entire game and lose it in the dying moments is one of the cruelest ways to be knocked down in football.”
“It's kind of controversial to say this, but I'll say it because I think it needs to be said...
Belgium didn't deserve the win.
They found a way to win, and credit to them for taking the opportunity, but over the course of the match I thought Senegal were the better side.”
“They defended with courage.
They pressed aggressively.
They won the midfield battle for long spells.
The intensity was there from the first whistle until the final minutes.”
“The heartbreaking part is the penalty.
One moment.
One decision.
That's all it took to undo so much hard work.
Whether you agree with the decision or not, it's a brutal way for any team to lose.”
“I actually thought Senegal looked the more dangerous team.
They attacked with purpose, recovered the ball quickly and looked like the side that wanted the victory more.
What they lacked was that final touch in front of goal.”
“This defeat will hurt because performances like this deserve something.
At the very least, they deserved to take something from the match.
Football doesn't always reward the better performance—it rewards the team that takes its chances.”
“If Senegal play with this level of commitment every game, they'll have every reason to be proud despite the result.
Tonight won't feel like it, but sometimes a performance can earn more respect than three points.
Unfortunately for them, football isn't judged on respect, it's judged on the scoreboard.”
‼️🗣️Thierry Henry on the Senegal penalty:
“I know it’s difficult to make decisions at that crucial moment as a referee, but I think he was too harsh considering the time of the game. If you swapped the jerseys, it was never going to be checked by VAR.”
@Adikastakes No one pity for them…bull shit!! The stupid inferior mentality we Africans have. Assumption shall not be made… but coach with his ego had to bring in useless lamine camara who got a yellow card barely a minute coming on and recklessly committed a foul to balloon the match…
Until African Countries get rid of this Weak Mentality and Inferiority complex, African football will never progress at the World Cup. Senegal have nobody but themselves to blame today for bottling this victory against a weak Belgium side.
🚨🗣️ Pape Gueye after the elimination from the World Cup from Senegal:
"I will come back to say a few words about the elimination, but I am announcing today that as long as this coaching staff is in place, I am taking a break from the national team."
@TouchlineX The decision to take papa gueye off was the worst. He was bossing the midfield. Surprising every action of the opponent. Some how the coach felt it right to bring on Camara whose first action resulted in a yellow card and his last actions a penalty.
The worst decision ever. Pure Assumption and inexperience cost them the game. We are not proud of you guys , Africa is indeed disappointed.. Teams like Tunisia have more respect now in the eyes of Africa. Morocco now deserve to be called the true champions of Africa..::
@TouchlineX At 66 mins — Papa Gueye was taken out for Lamine Camara to come on.
At 67 mins — Lamine Camara already booked a yellow card.
At 118 mins — Lamine Camara’s reckless tackle gifts Belgium the winning goal.
