The worrisome fact about this is that the attack was not reported by the media. Yet some very wicked people expect the Catholic Bishops to visit the president and tell him bravo. Not gonna happen.
Apparently people don't know who a Cardinal is and the amount of influence they yield.
Most of these guys have diplomatic passports, have trained at the highest level of philosophy, theology, and a major discipline. They write books, they act as local imprimatur to people who also write. I'm talking big people who write. And above all, people listen to them — Big & important people listen to them.
Korol Wojtyla (John Paul III), as a cardinal was then Polish government enemy number as he opposed a communist Poland. Poland owes whatever it is today, democratically, to him — at least to a large extent. Wait till you hear about Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the one who mentored Karol.
Jaime Sin of Philippines literarily tumbled a dictatorship by leading peaceful protests and human barricades of millions of people. His intervention was pivotal in one of the world's most successful nonviolent democratic transitions.
Same with József Mindszenty of Hungary, a fighter against Communist Hungary who was popular with the phrase — communism kills the human identity. They even tortured him, and that led to unrest and protests. There's also Thomas Wosley of England. Maybe a little research on Cardinal Sarah and how he became one of the few national figures willing to challenge Sékou Touré's authoritarian regime publicly in Guinea.
A Cardinal does not engage in partisan politics. It's beneath them. However when it comes to the need to intellectually be at the defense of human rights, youth engagement, poverty eradication, and moral empowerment, they'd never be quiet.
So all these Tinubu boys are just mere humans. Dimwits who are controlled by money — a sad way to live.
The reason you see boys playing football on every street in Nigeria is not simply because Nigeria has an unusual number of talented footballers.
It is because Nigeria has an unusual number of talented young people searching for a pathway out of economic hardship.
Football has become more than a sport. It has become hope.
The tragedy is that many of these boys might have become exceptional engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists or innovators if they had been exposed to the same level of opportunity, structure and encouragement that they give to football.
So when we talk about football talent in Nigeria, we should also talk about something deeper.
How much human potential is being concentrated into one escape route because too many other doors appear closed?
Peter Obi goes to TV to tell Nigerians we can change the fortunes of Nigeria. We can make life better for the majority of Nigerians.
The other senile microphone licking imbecile says to Nigerians: "There was hunger before I was born. Your church will feed you. All the problems of Nigeria didn't start with me."
Two individuals, different messages. But the one who tells Nigerians that things can change with the right leader, gives examples of countries who have done so, is still VILIFIED and insulted by some of those whose lives have been destroyed by the criminal microphone licking imbecile.
Unbelievable but this is Nigeria.
This is just my personal pov. I rate our chances at signing Vini at 30%. South American players see Madrid and Barca as a matter of pride, so him being open to lowering demands isn't surprising.
Same time, the article in full says that Madrid have always been opposed to giving him the bonuses he wants and article also stresses the two parties are not close in terms of what they want.
For me personally, I never thought I'd see us win the league given how things went the last few years. I've seen that now and I actually dgaf anymore.
Our project has grown to the size where we are in for genuine world class players now. Even if our terms are used to negotiate a better deal for Vini at Madrid, still shows how far we have come.
My hope would be that Arsenal have other fall back targets they can quickly move on to if the deal doesn't happen. That's about it
Stop listening to Rival fans. They aren't gonna change no matter what. Relax and what will be will be
IF JAY Z SIGNS VINICIUS JR TO ARSENAL BIA ROC NATION, THEN HE AUTOMATICALLY GOES AHEAD OF 2PAC AND NOTORIOUS BIG AS THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME.
MAKE NOBODY CHECK AM.
Arsenal don't need Vini Jnr to cook your club, Chelsea. We have been cooking and roasting your club without him so don't make it look like we need him to cook you. For context, the UK has had 5 Prime Ministers, and Buhari was the president of Nigeria since the last time Chelsea beat Arsenal. Know your place 10th
Before you fret at this, remember how Nigerians treat presidents that show concern and respect for common people
Be careful how you waste energy on what's actually a symptom of cultural alignment
Novak, Aaron, and Kyrie risked everything by refusing the advice of ‘Dr. Fauci’ and were ridiculed for doing so. They proved that the best role models for children are those brave enough to stand alone when the world demanded obedience…
@VigilantFox I will never forget how 90% of the population went along with all of that garbage and tried to exile and discriminate against anyone who even kind of questioned it all. You all look like idiots now. We all know who you are and how you folded. We all remember.
💔 The end of an era in Italian football.
Brescia Calcio has officially ceased to exist after the Court of Brescia has declared the 115-year-old club bankrupt and ordered its liquidation, with debts reported near €20m.
Brescia's history runs deep for Ghanaians too. In the early 2000s, Stephen Appiah lined up in that midfield alongside Roberto Baggio and Pep Guardiola, a trio that helped a "small club" finish 6th in Serie A.
A historic name, gone 😢
