Back in February, during the Hallelujah Challenge team photoshoot, Pastor @nathanielblow stopped to pray for me and shared a few prophetic words. One caught me completely off guard. He said the World Bank would invite me to speak at one of its biggest summits, and that I would play a headline role.
I said “Amen,” but honestly, I was confused. I already worked with the World Bank, so I could not see how that word would unfold. He must have noticed my face, because he said it again with even greater conviction. I received it and carried on with life.
Fast forward to April. A call with the manager of the World Bank Youth Summit changed everything. They wanted me to headline and curate a @hatricksbytolani session for more than 7,000 delegates, the first of its kind in the summit’s history. Two fireside chats. One with the President of the World Bank Group. The other with me, alongside the CEO of Voice of Africa KAD, on Finding Your Voice and the Power of Storytelling.
I did not believe it until the confirmation email arrived. Then the flyer. Even then it felt surreal. Somebody say, “Jesus Iye.”
God does not need our understanding to fulfil His word. He simply needs our obedience. There are some things hard work cannot explain, and this is one of them.
Pastor @nathanielblow , thank you for speaking with conviction that day, even when my face said I did not understand. You held the word steady until I could catch up to it.
And there is one more part of this story. Hatricks will tell it soon.
We stand against Sharia Law in Southwest.
What sort of ridiculous demand is that!!! It’s so quite shameful to see “Yoruba Muslims” supporting sharia law.
Out of respect for my in laws, I’m being cautious of my words.
This is really disappointing!
🚨🎙️ | Wayne Rooney on the controversial decisions in the UEFA Champions League Final:
🗣️ “People will celebrate PSG winning the Champions League, and fair enough, but deep down everybody knows Arsenal were on the wrong side of some shocking decisions.
That Madueke incident? If that happened to PSG, the referee points to the spot in two seconds.
You cannot convince me otherwise.
VAR was introduced to stop robberies in football, yet somehow Arsenal still got robbed on the biggest stage in club football.
And the worst part? By next week people will forget the decisions and only remember who lifted the trophy.
That’s football unfortunately.
I’ve seen finals decided by moments, but this one felt decided by fear from the officials. Nobody wanted to make the big call for Arsenal.
If Arsenal had gotten that penalty, the pressure changes completely. PSG panic. The momentum shifts. The entire story of the final could’ve changed.
But once again, Arsenal were expected to just accept it and move on quietly.”
For anyone with a short memory: only four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in just two days, whose only crime was protesting for freedom.
WHY DIDN’T THIS MAKE THE NEWS???
