As the World Cup Begins Without Nigeria
As the World Cup begins today across three nations, I identify with our teeming football followers and urge them not to be despondent that Nigeria is not participating, despite the abundant talent in our land.
Our failure to participate on the global stage is not due to a deficit of talent; it is a direct consequence of a deficit in leadership, planning, and institutional support.
The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. Do not watch the World Cup with despair; rather, see it as a reminder of where Nigeria ought to be. We must move our country from being a nation of mere consumers of global entertainment to a nation of proud producers and competitors.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Ridiculous… @_DeclanRice should have won this.
Absolute travesty that someone whose team never once competed for the Title wins over a guy whose brilliance all season led us to the Title.

By now, we should be seeing decisive action from you compelling @officialABAT to mandate the sale of Nigerian crude to Dangote Refinery in naira, especially amid the ongoing US–Israel–Iran tensions.
Wow! Alhaji Abdul Samad Rabiu has just made an extraordinary pledge to inspire the Super Eagles to victory. He has committed $500,000 to the players upon winning the semi final, with an additional $50,000 for every goal scored in the match. Should the players go on to clinch the final, he further pledges $1,000,000, plus $100,000 for each goal scored in the final.
Truly, this is huge. 🇳🇬⚽
This is killing our education.
So you just need to score 150/400 = 37.5% to gain an admission into the university. How will such student strive for excellence in school, when the foundation is based on mediocrity.
The minimum admissible scores for admissions for the next academic session have been fixed at 150 for universities, 100 for polytechnics, 100 for colleges of education and 140 for colleges of nursing sciences by the stakeholders (Heads of Tertiary Institutions).
How sad it is that the Palestinian footballer and former Nigerian GK never got a mention.
And it is a @FIFAcom competition.

The more chefs we have, the shorter our lives seem to get.
Life expectancy drops as the number of chefs rises... interesting correlation?
More chefs = shorter lives? The curious connection.
