has anyone else experienced those moments where you’re wrestling with something internally… and God answers through a sermon, a verse, a conversation, or even a song before you ever pray about it?
During Spain game, the commentators mentioned the AI clip of Norway vs England.. that has been circulating, expressing how epic it is and recommended a watch later on. AI is the Future.
Let me tell you guys something. Everything you see happening with Morocco is not a fluke. They’re conscious about their growth.
You see that man the players were throwing up at the end, his name is Fouzi Lekjaa, he’s their football federation president, he’s one of the major guys behind their transformation.
Let me tell you few of their strategies.
Around 2009, they started by building state-of-the-art facilities across the country, no embezzlement, nobody stole the money for their personal gain.
The goal was for every child to have access to a facility, no matter where they are. In fact, they built some facilities that had multiple pitches, world class pitches brethren.
They mandated their league teams to also maintain their academies. Some of those young boys from various academies were part of the players that won the u20 World Cup last year. That’s one of the things Fouzi Lekjaa did. It starts with the youth.
Many of the teams also have women team, it was a mandate. That’s why you see their women’s league growing , as well as the women national team. They played the final with Nigeria last two years or so. They’ll start winning it soon.
It didn’t stop there, they’ve become so attractive that players in diaspora with Moroccan heritage can play for them. You can be eligible to play for France or England and you will choose Morocco, as it stands, because they’re not a small team anymore. They’re very attractive.
Those state of the art facilities are now being used to host tournaments, they’ve hosted many in recent years including the last AFCON. In 4 years’ time, they’ll host a World Cup. This is a country that took their growth seriously. They have a great leadership.
The good thing about them taking this seriously is that their country is now known. I have a colleague at work who has gone to Morocco on holiday more than 3 times. The tourism has greatly improved, they’re now making money from all angles. Other businesses are thriving. A leadership that has vision, not the one that wants us to fry akara.
Nothing happens by fluke brethren. Nothing.
Nonsense behavior. You are just arrogant and entitled to nonsense. Collect your banter jorr. Till today they mock Chelsea fans that our club World Cup is useless. Imagine what they have done to us all season.
“Champions of Europe, you will never sing that” 🎶🎶🎶
A certain Chelsea fan who hadn't called me in years suddenly decided to call me in the afternoon on Saturday to tell me that PSG would beat us. I respectfully disagreed and rejected his prediction.
Interestingly, he didn't call during the first half, nor did he call after the final whistle. But the moment we lost, my phone rang. Not only did he call to mock me, but he also had his phone on speaker while his friends joined him in laughing and making jokes at my expense.
This is the same person who couldn't find the time to call and congratulate me when we won the league title, yet he was quick to reach out after a defeat.
We shared some good memories as church friends years ago, but tonight marks the end of that friendship for me. I have blocked his number and will be removing him from all my social media platforms as well.
Why am I sharing this? Because life has a way of revealing people for who they truly are. Sometimes, the signs come in the smallest situations.
Yes, football comes with banter, and there is nothing wrong with healthy rivalry. However, some people use banter as a cover to display their real character.
Over time, I have learned that not everyone who calls themselves a friend truly deserves that title. Some people only show up when they have an opportunity to mock, belittle, or celebrate your disappointment.
I've had enough of such friendships, and I'm choosing peace over pretense.
Congratulations to all us GOONERS. We move forward together.
@Pomilej Arsenal fans… tufiakwa. No wonder the world hate$ them. Congratulate you when you win??? Which EPL teams congratulated arsenal officially. We live for the banter in football. Not congratulations. I never seen any rival fan or friends call me when we win any trophy. Nonsense
Asake btw. He dropped an album this month, which means his team is still promoting the project.
Yet, in the same month his album is making waves, he cleared an incredible verse for his guy, Blaqbonez.
They shot the video and right now, Toki and some Giran team members are even promoting the song on their socials. Again, this is the same month he dropped M$NEY.
This is what friendship is all about. Showing up for your guys when they need you the most. They go way back from OAU, and Blaq has never stopped singing his praises from day 1. He was one of the first people who believed Asake was going to be a superstar.
Some of you will make it and all of a sudden, you become too busy for your friends. I hope everyone learns a thing or two about friendship from Asake.
