“This is our tradition, and we can't deny it. As you all gather here for the village festival, also make time to attend church on Sundays.” — Catholic priest tells masquerades who visited his parish during a village festival in Imo State
Actually, Messi fans made me to start liking Ronaldo 😂. I really didn't care too much about both guys before
If you see the way an average Messi fan talks about Ronaldo, you will think they are talking about Adama Traore. The disrespect made me start supporting Ronaldo
As a Chelsea fan, this is exactly why I can't call Messi the GOAT. Everything he has achieved feels so controversial, whereas Ronaldo’s achievements are fair, with no scandal in them.
Alex Onyia is in Rome, sponsoring kids in global STEM competition.
Ogbeni Dipo is on Twitter space discussing Alex Onyia.
"Rich minds discuss ideas: poor minds discuss people."
As incredible as Messi is, credit must go to this Argentina team. They create chances for him, respect him, and understand they have to do more for him now that he’s older. Ronaldo is so unlucky playing with those disrespectful Portuguese babies.

If you are sincere and your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.
Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.
Peter Obi - a man that defies Nigeria's version of leadership.
- Dele Farotimi
Rufai Oseni: Did you have a message for those who, no matter what you say, will never say, “Let me give this man a chance”?
Mr. Peter Obi: I am appealing to them, for the sake of their own grandchildren, let’s build a society. Some of them might think they have made enough money. I want to give young Nigerians the opportunity God gave me back then.
People of my age today are ste@ling what they don’t need—how long will they live?
I bought my first brand-new car in 1981 for ₦2,700 and later bought a brand-new 505 SR for ₦7,200. I used to trade in Nigeria and travel to London every weekend. I used to enter Nigeria airways flight from Lagos to New York then was about 155 for a ticket.
Today, we met with protesters in Ibadan led by Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan). The group, who have remained peaceful, are protesting to demand the rescue of the abducted children and teachers from Oriire LGA a month and one day ago. Watch the clip of our interaction.
Yoruba is also tonal language with every word ending in viral sounds. Some dialects are spoken as if you are singing. That is why it has always been a preferred choice for singing by most people - even those who are not Yorubas.
Christy Essien was not Yoruba but her biggest musical legacy is a Yoruba song 'Seun Rere'.
It is a musical language with a family of drums, including one that mimics the language's tonality.
What you call Yoruba tax is a blessing from God to the Yorubas & those who are ready to partake of it.
“In my lifetime in Nigeria, I have never seen a Nigerian politician come out and say that, as a former governor, he left money behind, built over 800 kilometers of roads, elevated his state’s education from last to top, and since leaving office has not taken a pension or any benefits attached to being a former governor.
Or that the reason he was impeached was because he refused to pad a budget that was supposed to be used for renovations. Something they wanted to do for billions of naira, he did for less than ₦400 million.
To top it off, neither the ruling party that has a record of intimidating and blackmailing their opponents with their looting/corruption records, nor the EFCC, one of the most biased & corrupt institutions in Nigeria, has found anything significant to use against him. I have never seen such a leader in Nigerian history.”
His name is Peter Obi‼️
