I listened to the full 1hr 22min interview with @PeterObi yesterday and I am more than convinced on why he is a major threat to many career Nigerian politicians.
Man is willing to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to end hunger, poverty, insecurity and corruption. Bear in mind that Nigeria is largely preoccupied by state capture and a gang of political thieves who will do whatever in their capacity to keep Nigeria the way it is at the moment.
Peter Obi represents a new order, a total departure from transactional politics, contract inflations, budget padding and will gladly lay down his life to see that Nigeria is steered towards a new trajectory of hope. As young people, we must continue to demand and fight for a better Nigeria for us all. We have been largely shortchanged in the project called Nigeria and today, we say "NO MORE"
Nigeria will be great in my lifetime.
Fabrizio Romano makes 50+ calls a day and works 16-20 hours during transfer windows, sleeping only about 5 hours
He is 33 years old
He has a son named Jack (around 6 years old) Jack loves playing football despite a rare 1-in-a-million immune deficiency disorder
Fabrizio himself dreamed of becoming a professional footballer as a kid but realized he wasn't talented enough, so he switched to journalism
He started writing football articles for small Italian sites at age 16 while still in high school
His very first big scoop in 2011 was Mauro Icardi's move from Barcelona B to Sampdoria, thanks to a tip from an Italian agent
He's an Inter Milan supporter at heart (his hometown club connection)
Speaks at least four languages fluently. Italian (native), English, Spanish, and Portuguese
Joined Sky Sport Italy at age 19
His screen time can hit 17-21 hours on busy days
Built his network by hanging out in Milan hotels with agents and players as a young freelancer.
Players sometimes text him directly asking to leak their desired moves
His father Luigi sparked his initial love for football
Once worked as a waiter in a Rome restaurant before fully diving into journalism
His relentless 16–20 hour days mean he rarely has full days off with family or friends
His news can instantly shift betting odds on transfers
Broke Bruno Fernandes' move to Manchester United, which exploded his global fame.
Values accuracy over speed and rarely gets things wrong
Made Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his impact as a transfer journalist
His estimated annual earnings are around $3.5–5 million from social media, journalism gigs, and collaborations
And despite his global stardom, he still does most of the work himself with a tiny team for visuals

Have you ever wanted to be in a particular field and then stuff happened and you diverted to another career entirely?
I believe if any diversion wants to happen, it has to be in line with what you initially want. So that at least, you'll have the liking for it.
For instance, people that weren't pro footballers, but ended up as coaches, might still love their career so much.
Same goes with football journalism.
We don't always get what we want in life.
But the things that can't be taken from us, are our core values.
Our inquisitiveness, work ethics, creative thinking, etc
And even if we don't get our dream career or field.... We can still excel so much in whatever options life throws at us, as long as we keep up our values.
Fabrizio wanted to be a footballer.
Life had other plans for him.
He didn't sulk or lament all day. Or become a sadist.
He instead found a way to make himself a force in the new path that life gave him.
And it paid off.
So today, stop sulking and complaining at what you didn't get.
Look at what you have presently and make up your mind to be the absolute best in it.
And also......
Start today.

Thank you for the tremendous love. - RMK
Ask a Nigerian why he is convinced Nigeria can never be Islamized, he'd tell you that Igbos will resist it. Nigerians low-key have lots of respect for the Igbos
Nah bro, Messi is like a God in this team. When the ref whistled for halftime, these players waited for Messi to take the lead to the tunnel before they followed him.
This is insane, man
There’s absolutely no problem with Ronaldo having fans, loving Ronaldo or even Ronaldo being your favorite of all time, he is bloody CRISTIANO RONALDO!!! Problems only start when you think he’s the GOAT of football which is factually wrong.
Ronaldo spends 85 minutes loitering around the goalpost like he's waiting for a bus, taps the ball into the net once and people compare him to Messi, who's busy running an entire football team 😭
