Messi is perhaps the only footballer whose greatness genuinely rivals Cristiano Ronaldo’s.
Yet Ronaldo’s longevity remains an anomaly in the sport. To score across six different World Cups, spanning two decades and multiple generations of players, is a testament to a level of discipline, adaptation, and persistence that borders on the unprecedented.
Messi comes remarkably close.
But Cristiano Ronaldo’s sustained excellence at the highest level remains a phenomenon football may never witness again.
The GOAT. 🐐🇵🇹

Killed in Mob Attack at DTB Bank Ntinda ( @dtb_uganda )
It’s alleged that, this young man, lost his life on Monday following a mob attack at DTB Bank in Ntinda, according to accounts from witnesses, he had gone to the bank to withdraw money, after completing the transaction, a dispute reportedly arose when the bank manager accused him of having previously obtained money from him through fraud some months back & instructed security guards to stop him from moving out
as he attempted to leave the bank premises, a confrontation came up, boda boda riders in the area allegedly mistook the situation for maybe bank gun point robbers & descended on him, subjecting him to a severe beating
It’s said that, customers who were present at the bank intervened & rescued him from the mob before taking him back into the bank, @PoliceUg were later called to the scene but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries before he reached police station for statement
no one deserves to lose their life at the hands of a mob, allegations should be investigated by the police & courts, not decided through violence.
N.B I deleted this post yesterday, after DTB bank head office contacted me to pull it down, they assured me to issue out official statement on wat happened today morning, which they didn’t full fill, thus posting it again today evening ( I pledged to always speak for ordinary people (Abapakasi)

For ffs why do the police pick up injured people . No training whatsoever, no concern for neck injury , no first aid .. they just pick up and throw on a pickup to dump at the ED. So much could’ve been done …we pay taxes , where are the EMS services
KIND REQUEST🙏🏾
Whoever has any video frames of the rugby guy being beaten, kindly share them via the email in my bio or my DMs. I am trying to analyze them frame by frame and maybe try to identify some faces!
Kindly retweet for awareness!
If you took part in, recorded, cheered on and/or are an accomplice to this mob action, I advise you to turn yourself in at the Kira road police station and volunteer all the information you have 🙏🏽

Dear Chess Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new WR Chess team for the 2026 World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hong Kong.
Since the founding of WR Chess, our vision has always been to bring together not only the strongest chess players in the world, but also outstanding personalities who truly believe in the educational, cultural, and unifying power of chess.
This year, our team is led by World No.1 Magnus Carlsen and includes some of the greatest names in modern chess: Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Hou Yifan, and Alexandra Kosteniuk.
I am especially pleased to welcome the newest member of WR Chess - the 7th Speaker and 34th Prime Minister of Mongolia, Arena International Master H.E. Zandanshatar Gombojav.
His long-standing support for chess development and intellectual education in Mongolia reflects values that we deeply respect at WR Chess. I am confident that his presence will bring additional inspiration and international attention to our team and to the global chess community.
With this exceptional lineup, WR Chess enters the 2026 World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hong Kong this June as the No.1 ranked team in the competition.
Please join me in warmly welcoming H.E. Mr. Zandanshatar Gombojav to the WR Chess family.
...Just saw this UB40 banner. I had it printed at #Skygraphics in Germany with express orders to deliver before July 24, 2008. No ordinary banner.

Delivered it to Kajansi airfield. Nostalgic moments.

Tomas Masaryk said: “Dictators are rulers who always look good until the last 10 minutes.”
These phone calls made in 2011 by the Tunisian dictator as he fled the country to Saudi Arabia Arabia give that saying its true meaning. While he was minutes away from landing in Saudi Arabia for exile, he kept working the phones looking for evidence that things were good so he could return. Yet, his presidency was water under the bridge then. Even his own pilot disobeyed him in the end, Saudi became his permanent home till his death in 2019!
The thing is, most dictators don't even realise they are dictators. They think people love them genuinely - like they have no choice but to - that they’re, in fact, doing the people some favour no one else can do. In a way, they fee like they’re making a great sacrifice by being the rulers. Since elections are rigged, & independent polls don't exist, they even never realise that they are not popular with the masses. So, when power begins to slip away from their hands - as it always does eventually - they believe something will happen to bring it back to their hands - after all, they are God’s anointed person to lead over the ungrateful masses!
Hence, even as Amin fled the country, he kept giving the impression he was still in charge. Then there was the ridiculous press conference by Robert Mugabe after he was overthrown where he still sounded like the president, and called upon people to vote for the opposition candidate.
