@gamawa_amina Translation: I'm close to the king by one foot, and I'm far from him by 6 feet.
Meaning: be close to the king because of his mercy, but be far from him because of his wrath.

@SirJarus 5-aside (mostly smaller pitch) is street football to me. Hence, it didn't make sense to think 5-aside is harder than and 11-aside, per the standard pitch size. If the argument was about the difficulty of a 5-aside vs 11-aside on a similar pitch, there shouldn't have been one.

Mike Tyson was 20 years old here 😳

The most terrifying and ferocious 20 year old in the history of mankind 🥶

@Wizarab10 No way a 5-a-side would be harder than a full squad, unless you're not considering a standard pitch size.

@CollinsZagaa @Nairametrics Wrong. More like: I have N500 in my transaction acct to keep operations running. I borrowed N1000 to build projects that will increase revenue. As those projects generate income, the balance in the transaction acct grows, supports more business activity, and increases profits.

@gentlemanway007 You think sarcasm will bail him out here? Obi should have at least mentioned the problems. That guides the potential solutions.

This was how the CNN reported the death of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola after his sudden and suspicious death in the hands of the military after his unjust 4 years incarceration by the military adventurers.

I leave you to your personal interpretation.

A viral video showing a South African man urging African migrants, including Nigerians, to leave the country has reignited concerns over xenophobia.

The remarks, which accused foreigners of abandoning their home countries, drew widespread reactions online and renewed fears among migrants amid a history of anti-immigrant attacks.

Disclaimers:
1. This is long and self centered (typically 😅).
2. I don't get paid by X

I cannot imagine a life devoid of stories by:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nigeria)
Ngugi Wathiongo (Kenya)
Khaled Hosseini (Afghanistan)
Claire Hajaj (Palestine et al)

And even though I've intentionally chosen to focus less on western literature,
I can't imagine a life without stories by:
Charles Dickens,
Danielle Steele,
George Orwell

Guys,
Please read as diversely as possible.
It will open your mind.
Growing up Zimbabwean libraries were packed with literature from all over the world.
I read pacesetters from Nigeria,
Followed dramas from Sweet valley High in the USA,
Followed the Hardy boys,
Nancy Drew,
And read about British summers as told by Enid Blyton.
I was born and raised in semi-rural Gwanda - Zimbabwe,
But as a child,
Just from reading and films- I had the worldview of someone who was extensively well traveled.

South African films like "Asinamali" and "Sarafina" conscientised me about the evil that was apartheid just across the border,
We would sing about Nelson Mandela,
When SA got Independence,
My friends and I were ecstatic at only 10 years old.

I'm currently reading "The Arsonist's city by Hala Alyan,
Through it I'm understanding more about life in Lebanon and Syria,
Which gives me context about the current crisis in the middle East.
Now,
When I hear Israel has bombed Beirut yet again,
I understand that at a deeper level than before I read novels written by survivors of that violence and their descendants.

Just last week I reviewed "The poisonwood bible by Barbara Kingsolver,
It's just a story about a couple and their 4 daughters,
But it's set in Congo and talks about the assassination of Patrice Lumumba,
And the hand of Belgium, France and the USA in the destabilization of Congo.
From reading it I can clearly see the third hand in the current crisis in the DRC.
And from reading it,
I now understand why we have so many Congolese immigrants in Zimbabwe,
And I empathise with them.

Please read.
In a world where traveling isn't always feasible,
Reading books set in different countries
Is the next best thing.
