1 - From the 76th minute onwards in Argentina's 3-2 comeback win over Egypt, Lionel Messi had the most touches (27) and was the only player to have multiple shots (2), chances created (2), dribbles (2) and touches in the opposition box (5).

Catalyst.

"The VAR went back too far"

Meanwhile, In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Argentina vs Paraguay.
Messi's goal was taken away from a foul that happened light years ago & the match ended 1-1 instead of 2-1.

But now it's rigged using the same rule? Lmao

but every single referee for the one we just watched was from france 😭

[Fredrik @F_Edits]

😂😂😂 how can you allow every single referee to be from the same country - let alone a country that potentially could still be in the tournament when the match is played

[Oluwamayowa @MayorSpeaks_]

@eldivine But you didn't raise this "offside flag" when they appointed French referees for this Argentina vs Egypt game.

Let's just try to be fair, logical and not emotional please.

well, you could also argue that the focus on select systems made it easier

[Dr Prosper The Philosopher @ProsperThePhilo]

I compared the recent Physiology MB examination questions from both UNN and UniJos to see which one was harder.

What I found was actually surprising.

Both papers were for the same academic level and were written within the same session. They even had the same duration.

However, their philosophy of assessment was completely different.

The UNN Physiology paper had six questions, and students were required to answer five. In other words, there was one guaranteed drop built into the paper.

UniJos, on the other hand, set five questions, and all five were compulsory.

Now, looking deeper into the papers, the differences became even more obvious.

UNN examined eight different subtopics across eight different physiological systems.

There was:

- A question on insulin from Endocrine Physiology.
- A question on cardiac output from Cardiovascular Physiology.
- A question on acidification from Renal Physiology.
- A question on the reticular formation from Neurophysiology.
- A question on T-lymphocytes from Immunology.
- A question on gas diffusion from Respiratory Physiology.
- A question on secondary sexual characteristics from Reproductive Physiology.
- A question on bile duct disorders from Hepatobiliary Physiology.

It was broad.

Very broad.

The command words were things like:

- Discuss
- Describe
- Outline
- Briefly discuss

In other words, the paper mostly rewarded recall and explanation.

There was no clinical vignette.

No patient scenario.

Every question stood on its own.

Now compare that with UniJos.

UniJos wasn't nearly as broad.

Instead, it concentrated on fewer domains.

Renal Physiology appeared twice—once on tubular handling and again on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS).

Endocrine Physiology appeared three different times across the paper.

The paper also opened with a complete trauma case containing Hb, Hct, RBC count, ECG, blood pressure, reflexes, and vision findings, followed by multiple sub-questions that depended on interpreting that single clinical scenario correctly.

Miss the case...

...and several marks disappear together.

So, from my own analysis, this is arguable, but I think UniJos was structurally harder.

Why?

Not because the content was necessarily more difficult.

But because it gave students no escape route.

Students had to know Renal Physiology and Endocrine Physiology in much greater depth.

The questions demanded clinical correlation.

They demanded application.

They demanded analysis.

UNN, on the other hand, was broader.

Students had to touch more systems, but each question was more isolated and much more forgiving.

Overall, I would describe the difference like this:

UNN rewarded recall and explanation.

UniJos rewarded recall, comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and application.

That was the biggest difference I noticed after comparing both papers.

Now I'm curious.

Which style do you think is actually harder?

A paper that covers almost every physiological system but mostly asks you to explain...

Or a paper that covers fewer systems but forces you to think clinically and leaves you with no question to drop?

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

Adire and Ankara can’t be the uniform for all NYSC members across the country. We are all not from the SW region.

The current uniform is sexless, detribalized and smart.

NYSC is still one of the few programmes that genuinely promotes national unity by exposing young Nigerians to different cultures, people and ways of life.

Rather than focusing on cosmetic changes like uniforms or ceremonies, we should be addressing the real issues affecting the scheme and investing in practical, long-term entrepreneurship education.

The FG should rethink this.

You would be surprised that the Nigerian maga boys on the TL will suddenly start supporting South African xenophobes.
They have supported xenophobic rhetoric in Europe & the USA because it was targeting people with a different religion, they can suddenly do the same with SA.

Based on the reactions to this by reasonable people, most of the concerns seem to be about the length of the camp stay and the quality of it. Many want it to be shorter than 6 weeks and be more impactful.

Many are supportive of ensuring that state governments first provide better camping facilities.

Many like the risk-sensitive approach to posting Corpers to places with insecurity issues.

Many would want more extensive consultations with serving Corpers, recent former Corpers and potential employers.

Many like the focus on entrepreneurship but feel that most of it can be done online and spread throughout the service year.

Many think that the allowance of Corpers should be increased.

Some have suggested giving Corpers money to start businesses, although this was covered by the access-to-finance proposals already mentioned.

Some want the military to continue to be involved in the camp, even if the leadership of the corps is made civilian.

Some want the scheme scrapped entirely. Others don’t.

Some think it should be voluntary. Others don’t.

Have I missed out anything important?
