If Bayern Munich win the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal this season, Manuel Neuer could become the FIRST player in history to win THREE trebles in a top league. 🤯
Absolute legend. 👏❤️
Bayern fans should push both Olise and Kane for Ballon d‘Or. Kane deserves it more but we don‘t know how far England will make it. It would be fatal to focus on Kane only just for France to win it all and Mbappe to get the Ballon d‘Or because we didn‘t push Olise enough.
That is one of the Greatest Football Matches I’ve ever witnessed. Thank You Real Madrid and Bayern Munich! Football is truly the greatest sport of all time.

“We all sleep outside cos’ of heat, only rich people use solar. A road at Orita-Oja Ipokia, if a pregnant woman pass there she’ll lose her pregnancy. They’ve been constructing that road since 2019. No light no road, nothing. But campaign always reach here. What exactly are we enjoying as citizens?”
You are right... Nothing is "Presidential" about him. Just as David declared, "God chose me before thy father..." - imagine how the Almighty bypassed your fathers, ignored your lineage and your forsook favorites, and rested its hand on a man you insist is not “special.” The eagle does not need the approval of chickens to soar.
Yet guess what? In his "not so special" stature, wrapped in the very ordinariness you mock, he will lead you and your generations until 2031. And when his time is fulfilled, his protégé will continue from wherever he stops.
We will demand decorum and issues-based engagement in the forthcoming campaign - like civilized, cultured, and enlightened beings.
Still, we have measured doses of toxicity reserved for those who, having walked upright for years, have refused to complete the journey from the jungle to humanity. After all, when you follow a rat into its hole, you cannot complain about getting dirty.
“Baby Girl” by Beninese artist Nel Oliver, recorded in the late 1980s, is a heartfelt, multilingual song (English, French, Yoruba, and Gun) that captures a father’s blend of love, pride, and quiet sadness as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day. It beautifully reflects the bittersweet reality of watching a child grow up and begin a new chapter of her own.
By God’s grace, I’ll be playing this song for my daughters on their wedding day. 🎈🎊
