I have no energy to comment on Nigeria matters again.

I have resigned to the realization the trajectory of that country is never gonna change in my lifetime.

People that joined us in criticizing yesterday's leaders are the defenders of those occupying leadership offices today.

South Africa think football is a game of attacking your opponents, like they do immigrants

Can't wait for South Africa to go back to your kentry

I was on this app when Chinelo lost her life on that train ride under Buhari and I remember what APC members did to her.

Miss me with that nonsense “Obidients are vile” rhetoric.

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"

So you suddenly know his name? 🤨

[Joe Black 🇿🇼 @joeblackzw]

Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.

Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.

THEN they branded him a terrorist.

A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.

Nigerians are paying First-world Prices for Third-world Governance.

Tax us like Canada.
Give us Somalia and South Sudan Governance.

The life we were managing in Nigeria, Tinubu came and disrupted everything in the name of tough reforms. Three years later, only the Chagoury gang is smiling.

[Dr. Moh’ @DrMooh_]

Visited my elder brother Hon. @B_ELRUFAI at the National Assembly.

Shared news of my ADC flag bearer emergence for Chanchaga - his second home. He congratulated me, offered counsel & support.

We prayed for Mallam's health & vindication.

It was because of CAF.

In 1964, a CAF delegation led by Kwame Nkrumah boycotted the 1966 World Cup, and one of the demands was for FIFA to ban apartheid South Africa. No one is going to address what's happening in this year's World Cup unless CAF speak out.

It was in 2022, when Qatar hosted the World Cup, that I learned there is an English word called "sport-washing."

They invented a new world to demarket that tournament.

But they are all silent now.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

FIFA normally demands World Cup hosts pass special laws to protect fans, teams, referees and journalists. For example, Brazil's General Law of The World Cup ran to 900 pages, covering everything from criminal provisions to visa exemptions. No such law was demanded of the US

[failed @unnamedbutalone]

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

There was a time when FIFA stood against apartheid.

[Adebiyi Adeniran, ScD @drbhiyi]

The double standard in international rules has never been more obvious!

All non-white countries are subject to the same rules, while majority white countries do whatever they want.

Chelsea FC was destroyed for something way less, because that forced sale destroyed that club.

[Oh Chale. @Tbag__1]

Sure FIFA. Sure 👍🏿
