🩵🤍 Full statement by Lionel Messi: “I wrote these words on July 21, two days after the final… today, after what happened with my dad, I’m even more convinced of this decision than before”.
“After all this time since the final, and after thinking about it a lot, I want to tell everyone that I��m retiring from the national team.
"It was a decision that hurt and still hurts deep inside, but I understand that this is the right moment.
"I swear I always gave everything, not only in these last few years when we won everything, but before that too. I always fought and gave everything for this shirt, to bring you happiness and make you feel proud to be Argentine through football.
"There isn’t much time left, and different chapters are coming to an end. This is one that hurts me a lot. I love, I loved, and I will always love being part of the national team. I gave everything I had, and I don’t have anything more to give.
"Also, there are great young players coming through who deserve to be here.
"Thank you for all the love during these 20 years. I’m going to miss hearing you from the inside. Now I’ll be one of you, always supporting from the outside, in the good times and even more in the bad ones.
"Thank you to my family for always being there and for being with me throughout this beautiful but difficult journey. Thank you to every coach, teammate and director I had the chance to share it with. I take with me unforgettable memories and moments.
"I leave with peace and pride, knowing that together with my teammates we gave you moments we once dreamed of. It was crazy to experience all of this with you. I love you!
"Thank you God for making me Argentine.
"Vamos Argentina!
Just In: After weeks in captivity, the abducted pupils and teachers from Oriire, Oyo State, have reportedly been rescued by security agencies. A moment of relief for their families and community. 🙏🇳🇬
I couldn't hold my emotions when the prayer of those kids was raised in church. I can't even imagine the pains their parents are going through. God please rescue them. Be with them. Lord please send rescue.

A mom takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor.
Doctor: "Your daughter is pregnant-about four months along."
Mom: "Impossible! She's never been with a man!"
Daughter: "I've never even kissed one!"
The doctor walks over to the window and silently gazes outside.
Mom: "Doctor... what are you doing?"
Doctor: "Last time I heard a story like this, a star appeared and three wise men showed up.
I'm not missing it this time...

There is nothing light about Pap.
It’s a blood sugar disaster in disguise.
Yes, I said it.
Pap (akamu, ogi) is basically high-glycemic corn starch.
Once it hits your stomach, your body digests it faster than you can blink.
And all that starch turns straight into glucose (sugar) in your blood.
Boom — your blood sugar shoots up like a rocket.
Boom — your insulin spikes to bring it down.
Boom — a few minutes later, you crash.
Tired. Shaky. Hungry again.
See, your body starts storing the excess sugar as fat, especially belly fat.
Now tell me, is that still “light”?
If you have:
– Diabetes
– PCOS
– Insulin resistance
– Trying to lose weight
– Struggling with fatigue
…and you’re still drinking pap every morning?
You’re playing yourself.
Some people even make it worse by adding milk + sugar + cocoa to pap thinking it’s “balanced.”
But what you’re doing is turning that bowl into a diabetes express.
Here’s the bitter truth:
Just because something is traditional doesn’t mean it’s healthy.
Our ancestors ate pap, yes, but not every day, and not with the kind of lifestyle we live now.
You sit all day, stress plenty, hormones messed up and then you’re flooding your body with sugar water for breakfast?
Na fat, inflammation, and hormonal wahala you dey invite.
What to do instead?
Swap pap for protein-rich foods:
– Eggs
– Avocado
– Coconut
– Soaked nuts
– Plain Greek yogurt
– Moimoi or okpa (moderation)
If you must take pap, take very little and pair it with protein like eggs and skip the sugar and Milo madness.
📍Don’t forget to reach out for a well-structured meal plan.
Real food. Real results. Real fire.
Don’t keep making the same sugar mistake every morning.
Share this with someone who still believes pap is “light.”
Let’s unlearn together.
My husband has been my driver for the past 10 years of our marriage.
He drives me to work.
Drives me for my business.
Drives me for shopping.
Anywhere I want to go.
I don’t drive. He does.
He does it so well that if he comes home and doesn’t meet me in the house, he will call, locate me, come and pick me wherever I am, and bring me back home. Not from control, but from care. He simply doesn’t want his wife to stress herself.
Recently, I decided to register for my theory test so I can do my practical and start driving. Oga has already declared that he will not allow me to drive at night because he doesn’t joke with his wife.
For 10 years, he has been consistent.
There were days we both had night shifts. He would finish his own by 6am, drive straight to my workplace, park in front of my company, and sleep in his car until I closed by 8am. Then he would happily take me home, after collecting his kiss 😁
Yes, he gets a kiss when he drops me off.
And another one when he picks me up.
One day, a colleague mistook him for a homeless man because he was sleeping in his car outside our office. I laughed and told her, “That’s my husband.”
Over the years, many people have mistaken him for my driver. He would drive me somewhere, park patiently, and wait in his car until I was done. No complaints. Not once in 10 years.
Love doesn’t always shout.
Sometimes it waits quietly in a parked car at 6am. And no he is not a simp, he is just expressing love in his own way.
Nestlé has recalled these baby products.
So before you mix that next bottle for your baby, read this thread carefully as it concerns their well being.
If you feed your baby NAN, SMA, or Alfamino, a toxic bacteria has been found in some batches. And you might have it in your house right now.
You see, Nestlé has issued a massive global recall for several baby formulas (products in the image above) because they found a toxin called Cereulide (from Bacillus cereus bacteria) in some batches.
This toxin causes severe nausea and vomiting in babies. And the scary part is that boiling water does NOT kill it. The toxin is heat-resistant. So even if you prepare the formula correctly, if the powder itself is contaminated, your baby is at risk.
Now, NAFDAC has not released a specific alert for Nigeria yet. BUT our markets are porous. And people import ‘UK SMA’ and ‘Imported NAN’ every single day. So if you buy your formula from supermarkets that stock imported goods, or you bought it abroad, you need to check the last stock to see if your tin look like any of those products.
If yes, go to Nestle’s UK Website (SMA & Alfamino) and Nestle’s MENA Website (NAN) to verify if your batch does not fall under the recalled ones.
If your batch code matches the ones on that list, please DO NOT USE IT.
And please, don't keep this information to yourself.
If you have a friend, sister, or neighbor who uses SMA, NAN, or Alfamino, retweet this or send this to them NOW.
You might be saving a baby from poisoning today.
Dont do that. What exactly did she do wrong? I like to help people when i can. I asked for her wish, and she stated she wants to help people too. We all have our wishes whether big or small. I immediately noticed that people started dragging her so i entered her Dm to try and save her from the long talks on the timeline. Also not to be like i just raised her hopes and left her hanging. She didnt need to come back to the timeline to tell you guys anything as she doesnt owe anyone anything. Is she a govt official? But because of the too much drags i guess she thought it was best to share the news on the timeline. What is bringing this woman talk now? Is the 20m Laptop brother a woman too?
Before you feed your child another pack of noodles—pause.
Ask yourself:
What am I giving them?
Convenience?
Or a slow disease?
Because noodles are not food.
They are chemicals shaped like food.
— Made from bleached wheat your child can’t digest
— Soaked in synthetic preservatives to survive a shelf, not a stomach
— Flavoured with MSG that hijacks their brain’s reward system
— Zero fibre. Zero protein. Zero real nutrients.
And yet—some children eat this daily.
No wonder they’re always tired.
No wonder they’re addicted to sugar.
No wonder they cry without knowing why.
Because the gut controls the mood and noodles are gut poison.
It destroys their taste buds.
Kills their natural hunger cues.
And worst of all—it numbs their dopamine receptors.
That “happy, focused, sharp” child you dream of?
Noodles will never get them there.
Choose real food.
Choose eggs.
Choose yam and palm oil.
Choose rice and ugu.
Choose meals that speak life to their blood, not silence to their cells.
Because one day, it won’t be “just noodles.”
It will be:
Doctor, my child can’t focus.
My child has anxiety.
My child is always sick.
My child cannot poop.
You are the gatekeeper.
Feed them like it matters.
Because it does.
Don’t forget to reach out for a diet plan.
