❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.
“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.
“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.
“I never managed to feel physically right”.
“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.
Ruto’s State of the Nation address in a nutshell: big promises, selective statistics, recycled excuses, and a completely different reality from what Kenyans are experiencing every day. 🤣🤣🤣
Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳
So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?
The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.
I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂
We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.
Dear America,
Camera cuts into the crowd is for picking out shots of baddies from around the world, fans doing random stuff unaware that they’re on the big screen etc not your American tv celebrities. Stop ruining the culture of our beautiful game.
Regards
Football.
