Ibrahim Babangida, former military President of Nigeria, recalls the moment his wife, Mariam Babangida, read a letter sent by a lady.
His PA brought home a letter from the office and kept at his dining. The letter came from a girl. The wife came home and read the letter.
When he got home, he apologized for allowing her read the letter she's not supposed to read.
She smiled and called him a crook.
And everything was settled.
I always side with African teams in World Cup tournaments, except when it is under extreme circumstances. The case of South Africa is a case in point. I adore Lionel Messi and always loved Argentina while growing up. Never wasted my time debating about him and Ronaldo. Two eternal legends. My preference is Messi. I am just privileged I got to watch them perform in my time. Not every generation gets that chance. Same with the NBA, thinking the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. In this match, (since Messi has already won a World Cup), I wish Mohammed Salah got his nation over the line as an @LFC fan for 30 years. But only a mad person or a Cristiano stand underestimates the damage Lionel Messi can do in a few minutes. The powers that be will be happy with this comeback. Marketing, sponsorship and more dollars. Kudos to Egypt. But football is a cruel game. I stand by prediction, we could get an Argentina versus France final for the second year running. England and Spain to clinch third and fourth place.
