I received this DM from a concerned girlfriend and I feel an obligation to share.
If you are able to help or weigh in, please do.
If you can't, please share on your timeline for anyone who is able to. 🙏
The US spent over 1 trillion dollars trying to stop North Korea from getting Nuclear weapons.
It still got nukes.
Iran will also get nukes, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
So will Turkey and eventually South Africa and Rwanda.
No Empire lasts forever. The decline of the United States, based on historical data, is due.
In the next 50 years, the global economy will take a drastic turn.
Your job is to position yourself for the wealth transfer so your children can compete in the next generation.
Peter Obi goes to TV to tell Nigerians we can change the fortunes of Nigeria. We can make life better for the majority of Nigerians.
The other senile microphone licking imbecile says to Nigerians: "There was hunger before I was born. Your church will feed you. All the problems of Nigeria didn't start with me."
Two individuals, different messages. But the one who tells Nigerians that things can change with the right leader, gives examples of countries who have done so, is still VILIFIED and insulted by some of those whose lives have been destroyed by the criminal microphone licking imbecile.
Unbelievable but this is Nigeria.
Your husband is the only person who ever loved you purely by choice.
Your family was already written into your story.
Parents loved you because you were theirs.
Siblings stayed because you shared blood.
Even your child is there because you’re the mother.
But your husband walked in as a complete stranger.
No obligation.
No duty.
No shared past.
He could have built a life with anyone else.
Yet he chose you.
Chose to grow old with you.
Chose to call you home.
That kind of love is never automatic.
It is a daily, deliberate decision to stay, especially when it’s hard.
So never forget to thank the man who still chooses you every single day.
I want to be fair to @PeterPsquare . He is not wrong that French opens doors Igbo does not. He is not wrong that parents get to decide how they raise their own children. But I guess he underestimates the fact that he is not just any parent. P-Square is a name millions of Igbo people grew up admiring, their success made them proud to be who they are. People all over the world sang their songs using Igbo words. So when a voice like that says Igbo is not worth passing on, it does not land like one man’s private choice. It gives permission for a belief a lot of people were already quietly carrying, that English and French, in short anything foreign, sits above Igbo, that their native language is something to graduate out of rather than something to hold onto.
I am not Igbo. I am Swiss. But my husband made it clear from the beginning that our children would speak Igbo, and I have never once seen that as a burden or a complication. Our children speak Swiss German, English, and Igbo at home, German at school, and now French as well, since that is part of their school curriculum too. Five languages, and none of them fighting each other for space. That is the part people forget when they frame this as a choice. Children do not need to pick one language to be strong in. They can navigate several at once, easily.
It is adults who turn language into a competition. Children just absorb what is spoken to them and grow fluent in all of it.
A language is not only a tool for getting ahead. It is also a rooting tool, the place where love, memory, and belonging live. It is the specific way a grandmother scolds you and forgives you in the same breath. It is a joke that only works in the original. Lose the language, and you do not just lose a skill. You lose a room in your own house, one you can still visit as a guest but never quite live in again. That is what worries me most in this conversation. A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth.
One day, my sons will be handed a kola nut, and in that moment, no one should have to do it for them. They should know how to receive it, how to speak over it, how to break it themselves, not pass it along to someone else because they never learned the words or the meaning behind them. That is such a small moment, and yet it says everything. It is the difference between being someone’s guest and being someone’s own.
So when I hear “Igbo is useless,” what I actually hear is a wound that has not healed.
From the outside, I have watched how often English or French get treated as the languages worth keeping, while Igbo gets treated as the one you can afford to let go of. That preference did not come from nowhere. It is a colonial hierarchy that convinced generations of people that closeness to their own culture was a limitation rather than a foundation. I don’t say this to shame anyone, least of all a man raising his own family the best way he knows how. I say it because the people who shape how we see ourselves carry a weight beyond their own households, whether they asked for it or not.
My hope is simple. That we stop treating our children’s languages as a competition with only one winner. That we let them have both the world and their roots, and trust that they are capable of holding both without ever having to choose.
Messi carried a 10th place Enzo, mid players like Molina, Tagliafico, Medina, Montiel, Paredes, an out of form Mac Allister, inconsistent Lautaro, injury ridden Lisandro, and a one hand Emi Martinez… to BACK TO BACK World Cup finals.
Yet you’re telling me Ronaldo isn’t privileged with that Portugal world class squad?
You’re far from being delusional, Messi clears that fraud in all aspect, Mentality wise, plays better football and is a better leader than him it’s not even a debate.

LIONEL MESSI 🐐 🐐 🐐
Lots of Ronaldo fans are just envious the Portugal players don’t love him like the Argentina players adore Messi. If dem scratch Messi for pitch dem Enzo and De Paul go rush the player ginger, Paredes and Romero go come Dey ginger the ref for cards😂. Messi no even Dey mark ball for pitch, he Dey stroll, the others Dey do the dirty work for am. It all boils down to the personality sha, Messi leads through quiet reassurance and shared vulnerability, Ronaldo is an ultra-demanding perfectionist, Visible frustration on the pitch when teammates fail to pass to him occasionally strained the on-field chemistry.
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
