Would the world be debating this issue if Iwobi or Akor Adams had tackled Lionel Messi from behind?
Whatever easily comes to mind after reading the above question is the right answer.

We differ in opinion but still remain cordial. Lessons on democracy.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT
A Celebration of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye
There comes a time when silence becomes ingratitude.
There comes a time when honour becomes a sacred duty.
There comes a time when sons and daughters must rise to celebrate the gifts that God has given to a generation.
This is such a time.
We refuse to be silent while men and women of eternal significance are reduced to headlines, controversies, and social media trends.
We refuse to stand by while those who have sacrificed decades in service to God and humanity are casually criticized by people who have built nothing, fathered nobody, planted no churches, and transformed no nations.
The sons and daughters of prophets must never be silent while cheap publicity seekers use great men as instruments for attention.
A generation that does not honour its fathers has no future.
A people who cannot recognize greatness in their midst will eventually suffer the tragedy of its absence.
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is not merely a church leader.
He is not merely a denomination head.
He is not merely a respected minister.
He is one of the most significant Christian leaders of our generation and one of the greatest spiritual gifts God has given to Africa and the global Church.
We should never allow a man who chose humility to become the chewing stick of the uninformed.
We should never permit the noise of critics to drown out the voice of history.
We should never watch while modern-day Sauls seek to intimidate, discredit, or silence God's servants.
Scripture records how King Saul pursued David.
Scripture records how Doeg the Edomite became an instrument of destruction against the priests of God.
Throughout history, political power has often sought to suppress prophetic voices.
Yet God has always preserved His servants and vindicated His purpose.
The Church must never become indifferent when its fathers are unfairly attacked.
Nor should we wait until our prophets cross into eternity before we begin to celebrate them.
Too often, flowers are sent to funerals when they should have been delivered while the recipient was still alive.
Kylian Mbappé has several records in his sights at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 👀
If he scores twice, he will become the highest ever goalscorer for the French men’s side, breaking Olivier Giroud’s record of 57.
He will also become France’s all-time top goalscorer at the World Cup, breaking Just Fontaine’s record of 13.
If he scores five goals, he will become the all-time top goalscorer at the FIFA men’s World Cup, breaking Miroslav Klose’s record of 16.
And if he scores in the final, he will become the first man to ever score five World Cup final goals.
We could be witnessing greatness. 👑
