If you multiply any number by 9, an addition of the result will always be broken down to 9.
For example…
3564 * 9 = 32076
3 + 2 + 0 + 7 + 6 = 18
1 + 8 = 9
I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Ronaldo Rulebook: Heads He Loses, Tails He Loses
Football doesn’t hate Ronaldo. It hates consistency.
Because with Ronaldo, the rules change every 5 minutes.
The "Mentality" Rule
Team wins 2-0, Ronaldo doesn’t score _"Selfish. Bad attitude. Only cares about himself."
Barça wins 5-0, Yamal cries for not scoring "Mentality monster. Elite winner. That’s the standard."
So wanting goals is toxic when it’s CR7, but leadership when it’s anyone else?
The "Body" Rule
2003: _"Too skinny. Won’t survive the PL.
He hits the gym, eats clean, becomes a Greek statue.
2025: "Why is he always flexing? Thinks he’s a model."
Bro was told to get bigger. He did. Now he’s punished for listening.
3. The "Evolution" Rule
Ronaldo starts as a skillful winger. Dribbles, assists, showtime.
Team needs goals he drops the tricks, becomes a machine. 800+ goals.
Response: _"He’s not even technical. Just a poacher. Just penalties."
Messi adds goals to his game _"GOAT evolution."
Ronaldo does it "He sold out."
You can’t ask a player to adapt for the team and then erase his old game to discredit him.
The "Penalty" Rule
Ronaldo masters penalties _"Tap-in merchant. Stat-padding.
Messi wins World Cup with 6 penalties → "Carried Argentina. Clutch gene.
Messi then misses 3 pens in a row ..let’s not talk about that."
A goal is a goal until the wrong person scores it.
This was never about football.
It’s about a kid from Madeira who was told he wasn’t good enough, got good enough, then got too good.
And now people are rewriting history to cope.
You told him to get stronger. He did.
You told him to score more. He did.
You told him to win. He did.
Now you’re mad he did everything you asked.
You can’t eat your cake and have it.
Pick a lane.
I have been privileged to work across over 20 countries including the United States and UK as a Gen Z. In many rooms I have been in, I was the youngest person.
So I can tell you, the greatest skill you need in your corner is not your certificate, but the ability to work across cultures and systems.
The fact that the 76-year old CEO in my workplace 3 streets away from the White House asked me to call him by his first name Damon doesn’t mean I should come back to Nigeria and call Dr. Oby Ezekwesili by her first name.
It’s lack of social intelligence. When you are in Rome, you behave like a Roman. Adapt quickly or be left behind.
🚨 UPDATE: Andy Burnham has scrapped the Department for Science, Technology and Innovation

Frank Edoho asked Victor Osimhen how many goals Didier Drogba scored for Chelsea. Osimhen wasn’t sure, so he called Drogba himself. 😂
Frank immediately started telling the Chelsea legend how much Nigerians love him. 🇳🇬❤️
