My joy in this title winning is that NOBODY will say they carried this team to win it. This title belongs to everyone. And I mean EVERYONE.
Yes, Rice was elite.
Raya was elite.
Gabriel and Saliba were elite.
Timber was elite. Five players you point to and say — these are the best five this season. Fine.
But let me ask you something.
Do we win this title if Martinelli doesn't score that last-second equalizer against Man City?
Do we win it if Eze doesn't produce two maverick performances against Spurs to kill them off?
Do we win it if Saka doesn't score that one clinical goal against Brighton at the Amex — one goal, 1-0, job done?
Do we win it if Ødegaard doesn't come on and, like a man possessed, creates something from absolutely nothing? Do we win it without Trossard's goal against West Ham? Those two guys stepping up when it mattered most?
Do we win if Max Dowman doesnt come off the bench against Everton and wins us the game?
Do we win if Madueke doesn't score against Brentford (1-1) to keep the pressure on City?
Do we win if Merino — despite the whole world screaming "don't bring him on" — doesn't come on at St James' Park and scores the goal that wins it. Against chelsea to score the equaliser when they were ten men?
Do we win if Zubimendi doesn't score those two bangers against Nottingham Forest to help us put them to the sword 3-0.
And remember the beginning? Calafiori. Set piece. 1-0. Day one, telling us exactly what kind of season this was going to be. Do we win if not for him?
Then Zubimendi gasses out and Myles Lewis-Skelly walks into the team like he's been here for years.
Do we win if Kai Havertz didn't score from a corner, 1-0 against Burnley — doing exactly what the team needed.?
When Calafiori got injured. When Timber got injured. Do we survive without Mosquera and Hincapié coming in and performing at a level nobody expected? Do we survive without Ben White?
And even beyond all that — Jesus, Nwaneri — they weren't the league's critical performers, but they were around. They took the load off in cup competitions. They kept people fresh. They mattered.
This is what I find so incredibly beautiful about this title.
Nobody carried it. Nobody can look at this squad and say "I did that." Because everyone did that. From the starter who kept a clean sheet to the sub who came on for 15 minutes and scored. From the academy kid who nobody expected to the veteran who showed up when the season needed him most.
This is not a one-man trophy. This is not even a five-man trophy.
This is 25 men, a manager, a coaching staff, and a culture — all deciding in the same moment that this is the year.
Good old-fashioned football. A team sport. Beautiful, mehn.
THEY CALLED OUR CRIES "SOCIAL MEDIA RUMORS"
We entered this institution in search of knowledge, and to gain it, we had to trust the school and its system. For eight years, we gave our all to learning and character development.
So, I’m here to open the light on the occurrence happening in university of Ilorin, college of health sciences. It’s going be a long thread, so follow through to get the full gist.
Dear Mr. Oseni Rufai,
I am writing as a concerned parent of one of the 25 University of Ilorin MBBS graduates who completed their medical training in August and had their results released in September. These 25 graduates were fully deserving of induction with the first batch, but were not included due to the 150-student quota. Alongside my child are 19 other graduates who wrote their resits after the first batch. Together, these 44 young doctors were supposed to be inducted into the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria following the first induction held on November 14. They were promised that their induction would take place within 4 to 6 weeks after the resits.
It has now been well over two months, and there has been no communication or timeline regarding when these graduates will finally be inducted. Rumors have even suggested that they may have to wait until the next set of graduates, which could be in about 10 months from now.
These 44 young doctors have devoted years of their lives to rigorous training, enduring long hours, immense pressure, and personal sacrifices. They are ready and eager to serve Nigeria, yet this prolonged delay prevents them from contributing to a healthcare system that urgently needs their skills.
Nigeria continues to face a critical shortage of medical professionals. Other institutions, such as the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, have exceeded their induction quotas by over 200 graduates to ensure timely deployment into the healthcare system. The delay in Ilorin is not only unfair to these graduates but also deprives the public of much-needed medical services.
We appeal to your newsroom to investigate and highlight this matter. Public attention could urge the MDCN and University of Ilorin to act promptly, ensuring that these 44 graduates are inducted without further delay. Their induction is not just a personal milestone; it is a crucial step in strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system at a time when every doctor counts.
