🚨 For Cristiano Ronaldo to equal Messi's achievements, He needs:

• 1 World Cup
• 3 Ballon D'or Award
• 2 French League titles and
• 1 Human Hormone.

🚨 But For Lionel Messi to equal Ronaldo's achievements, He needs:

• 2 English Super Cup
• 2 Italian League titles

🇬🇭Emmanuel Aggrey Tieku is a 31 year old artist who works between Accra and Paris. He has spent years transforming discarded textiles into large scale installations. Baleboard is the project that takes this practice into public view by replacing commercial advertising with cascading textile waste. These works are installed on the same billboard structures that typically promote consumer products.

Tieku stated that galleries tend to confine discussions within their walls, whereas billboards allow conversations to unfold in public spaces. Ghana receives approximately 15 million second-hand garments every week. Around 40 percent are unsellable. This waste frequently ends up in drainage systems, coastal lagoons, and the sands of Jamestown Beach. Tieku told AFP that if waste is not visible, it fades from awareness. He noted that the project brings this reality back into focus

I'm a Manchester United fan but I still don't understand how Bruno Fernandes won the FWA award ahead of Rice.

Here are some of Rice's stats:

93 corners taken in 33 starts

62 long throws

85 corners taken outside the right place to take them

62 unsuccessful long throw-ins

26 fouls committed by him

He's clear of everyone that's overhyped in this league.

PICTURE PERFECT! 📸

[Elizabeth🥳🇺🇲 @Deseiye_]

A man sat next to me at a roadside restaurant, staring at his phone, smiling nonstop.

Curious, I asked, “Good news?”

He said, “Yeah my daughter just sent me her first salary.”

I smiled and said, “That’s beautiful.”

He nodded, then went quiet for a moment before adding,
“She told me to buy something nice for myself but I think I’ll just save it. I still remember when I couldn’t even afford her school fees.”

A few minutes later, his food arrived.

Before touching it, he took a picture and sent it to her.

Then he whispered, almost to himself,
“At least now she knows I’m eating well.”

That’s when it hit me.

Some parents don’t need repayment.
They just need reassurance that all their sacrifices meant something.

when you deliberately didn't buy snacks to avoid snacking at night, but now it's night & there's no snacks

Are you people seeing it? Or are you still pretending to be asleep?

unfortunately a very accurate depiction of what happens to addicts when they continue to hurt their loved ones. To protect herself and Rue's sister, I don't blame her Mom at all. She tried over and over again to get her help, and eventually, you realize the only way for an addict to get sober is if they choose to be sober. You can't force them, so you have to protect yourself or continue the dangerous cycle of enabling them.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Harry spent seven entire books going after every other girl at Hogwarts while never expressing the slightest interest in Hermione. Harry literally has more chemistry with Myrtle the toilet ghost than he does with Hermione. But Ron was infatuated from the moment he laid eyes on her.

Did you not read “Goblet of Fire”? Ron was playing mind games with Hermione by not asking her to the Yule Ball and then Victor Krum asked her first, and she accepted, and Ron absolutely lost his mind.

Then Ron and Harry asked Parma and Parvati but completely ignored them at the dance because Harry was obsessed with Cho Chang and Ron was obsessed with Hermione.

The entire Black Lake challenge was about Harry and Ron being cucked, because Cedric was sent to rescue Cho, Krum was sent to rescue Hermione, and Ron had to be rescued and Harry had to rescue Ron.

Also, in “Order of the Phoenix,” Rita Skeeter wrote in the Daily Prophet that Hermione was Harry’s girlfriend and Harry was icked out while Ron was jealous and furious.

If you were shipping Harry with Hermione, that is your fault, because it was never once implied by the source material. Ron and Hermione ending up together is their whole seven-book arc.

My ex boss told me that when he learned how to drive in the UK in the '80s, he was taught that the distance between your car and the car in front of you is you being able to see the back tires of the car.

If you give such a space on Lagos roads, another car will twist its way in and close up the space.

The reason you’re not feeling christmasey and you’ve not been feeling it in the last few years is because you think that feeling comes automatically with the season.

News flash, it doesn’t!

People in your community put in effort to create that feeling for you when you were younger.

It’s your turn now!😌
