@Kynsofficial If it were Argentina that had that last minute corner kick, the ref wouldn't blow the final whistle.

@EdoSolomon2 Cabo Verde gave Argentina a bloody nose.

@Idonije348862 @QualityQuadry Was it a goal or not?

@XPrime_minister @SirJarus Portugal? They haven't come to the party yet.

Honestly, Lagos has one of the best development models in Africa.

It all started with President Tinubu when he divided the state into 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Areas to reduce ungoverned spaces.

Fashola and Ambode followed that vision by spreading development across the state, building roads, protecting the environment, and maintaining existing infrastructure as opposed to just concentrating all developments in the capital city of the state.

They understood that Lagos is a model city and that the environment must be protected because it shields residents from the challenges of a megacity.

Fashola always said that walkways are not markets.
Ambode built more walkways, lay-bys, and paid serious attention to aesthetics and maintenance.

Their proactive leadership was one of the reasons people did not notice many of Lagos' underlying challenges.

This current administration has done well in some sectors, but honestly, it failed woefully in environmental management.

The same walkways that were never meant to be markets have now become full-blown markets.
Street trading has brought a lot of chaos, waste, and environmental degradation to Lagos.
For a city of this importance, that is not good enough.

Success is making a place better than you met it.
Lagos deserves an emergency beautification plan. Roads should be maintained, drainage cleared, kerbs painted, grasses trimmed, and public spaces properly managed.

The Local Governments should also play a stronger role at least this is the only state where they function at least 30%.
That should be harnessed.

Very soon, Lagos will host one of the biggest water sports events in Africa in 2 months time.
This is the time to restore environmental standards.

Lagos is not overrated; it is simply not currently being managed to the standard it deserves or the world would expect.

With its wealth, influence, and strategic importance, Lagos remains one of the greatest cities in the world.

Success is making a place better than you met it.
Take someone like Hon Vinod Obasa, for example. If you put him in charge of Eti-Osa or the Lekki–Ajah corridor, I believe that within a few months you would begin to notice cleaner roads, better maintenance, improved drainage, and a more organized environment. If there are projects beyond the Local Government's capacity, he would engage the state government to intervene. That is how I define success.

So then imagine he was the current governor of the state after Ambode,do you know how well maintained the state would have been??

The President already laid the foundation by decentralizing governance into 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Areas.

Let the Local Governments also play their part. Roads should be properly maintained, kerbs painted, grasses trimmed, drainage cleared, and public spaces kept orderly.

I still believe the government should invest in a major modernization overhaul for Lagos as i said earlier. But even before that, let us restore environmental standards.

Please, let us protect it, maintain it, and make it better than we met it.

God bless the Governor. God bless the Deputy Governor. God bless every stakeholder, and God bless everyone doing their part.

Please urgently look into this 🙏

📷: F1-4: Appalling way so many areas that were built by past leaders have been allowed to deteriorate under the current administration instead of being well maintained and improved upon, especially in the low-cost areas due to gross environmental neglect by the current administration.

@SirJarus African teams with the 86 and 88 minutes syndrome. Total collapse of concentration. Poor mental fortitude.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@matajson ...and he has just sabotaged the team again with his substitution. I can't fathom why Papa Gueye was removed and replaced with Kamara whose first tackle resulted in a yellow card. Now the midfield is walking on a tight rope and Belgium will capitalise on that weakness.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@SportsAdigun African teams and their collapse in the 86th & 88th minutes need to be studied. Poor mental fortitude.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@UTDTrey Cherki has been sub-par in this tournament, even though he often comes in as a substitute.I hope his loose passing doesn't cost him his place in the team.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@Africa_ftbl The "F" says it all.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@matajson @powerfulbadeeu Fae, the Ivorian coach left his best player, Diallo, on the bench for most part of the game. The Ivorian attack lacked bite until his introduction.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@RishiMalik18246 @vanemrys15 What's the obsession with African teams?

No one is talking about the fact that no Asian team is left in the competition at this stage. If France should be beating any african team 5-0, how much goals will an Asian team consume then?

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@Dynamicspec3a @SirJarus Is Doue a defensive player?

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@moolah79 @SirJarus *anything*

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@moolah79 @SirJarus People said similar stuff like this in the last world cup when Morocco faced Spain and Portugal. Inasmuch as it's 11 against 11, anytime can happen. Football is not arithmetic.

@EzekielOluwada6 @Prezain_LJ Why do you think they prefer instagram, tiktok Snapchat and facebook?

It's because on X, you have to read and reading itself is herculean for most.

@efoavugah @osasuo @FIFAWorldCup Did you actually read what he wrote? 🤔

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@SirJarus With the way Portugal is playing, I dont think they should be listed as favourites to win this tournament.

[Bámidélé Adéníyì @delefaz]

@En1Buena You cant advance to the round of 16 as one of the best 3rd place teams. You can only qualify to round of 32.
