Forget motivational quotes, 4 things that guide my existence as a human being are:
1. There is God and he always comes through
2. Faith is a force that works
3. The power of positive confessions is real.
4. Love your neighbour as you love yourself
Good morning!
This man has a point and I somehow see it. However, he is unable to create a dichotomy between positioning for global relevance and the need to retain one’s identity.
With his tweet, he has elevated some languages over others because of the global “opportunities” those languages present. But that is not the essence of a language; the opportunities they present are secondary.
Languages existed long before there was a global economy. People did not come together to create Igbo, Yoruba, French or English to increase their opportunities; they simply emerged as the natural languages of communities. So they became repositories of culture and belonging.
The “open doors” point you made is a modern consequence of economics and geopolitics. The languages you prioritize are valuable internationally not because they are inherently superior, but because of historical factors. If history had unfolded differently, another language might occupy that role.
The point is that a language’s most significant role is to connect people within a community and preserve its identity. Its value as a path to global opportunities is quite secondary.
@fbi_initials@slay_jimmy@uzoma_alaneme Someone calls Messi a midget. There is no way he is being objective after that. You don't insult and then claim to be objective.
I on the other hand can show you numerous videos where other legends of the game (players and coaches) admitted Messi as their GOAT
@fbi_initials Most trophies. Messi has everything Ronaldo has except most goals. Ronaldo has another achieved a lot of things Messi has.
It's easy to be on Messi's side of the divide. Super easy. 😁
@fbi_initials Lorokan, Messi's undoing is that he was loyal to Barcelona? That man has the most everything. The only thing Ronaldo has more than him is goals and considering their goals to games ratio, Messi is a better goalscorer.
My bro, it's okay to prefer Ronaldo but saying he is GOAT?!😂
@fbi_initials 😂😂😂😂. Once you take away your bias for Ororo, you will appreciate Messi for just being the best ever. Today na fatricidal final so nothing like ojoro😅
@fbi_initials He wasn't. In fact, If we choose to consider the argument based on favouritism, we will find so many instances in relation to different players and the integrity of the entire sport will be questionable.
