You have money to go for Pre degree but don’t have money to go to OAU.

Your pre degree fee could pay for all your 4 years in OAU.

Lmaooo. Olosi Oniro

If I have to agree with you in order for peace to reign then that isn’t love, it’s control.

Kunle my guy!!!!

Watched this and it reinforces the believe that if you're a nepo baby, you definitely have it easier.

Knew he was nepo, but didn't have all the details.

If you're Lapo, you'll have to work 10x harder, with no guarantee of success.

Tough life.

The answer is their lifestyle.

They don't own anything fancy.

They live in houses you would not want to live in.

Look at the life of the average educated young person.

Your rent is 2m, your phone cost 1.3m and so on.

Meanwhile, that same money would buy you a piece of land inside the bush.

This is the "dark side of education", it makes you sophisticated enough to be dependent on the trappings of modern society.

It forces you to re-evaluate what you consider successs.

Here's another example, how much does the average young Nigerian spend on earing out?

And how much does the class of people you are looking at spend on eating out.

Long and short is that you can achieve what they achieve if you are willing to live their kind of life.

The problem is that you think their kind of life looks like failure.

He is right. I have never recruited anyone based on intellect or knowledge alone. Once you have the required level of intellect or knowledge, I can teach you what else I need you to know. What I can’t teach you is passion.

I've been in a studio session with Tuface and a club hangout with him

he writes at any level.
Sometimes he vibes and mumbles and gets it pieced together

If he had a ghost writer, in this podcast era, one of them would have said something

Also, he may have gaps in speaking coherently probably because he is shy and don't like stress, but he is knowledgeable and can hold conversations very very well.

Also, na well grounded street guy. So OT dey too. he is a different personality in real life and the studio.

If you’re toasting someone looking up to Sophia Egbueje and you’re there for something serious, potentially - even if half-serious or to see how it goes - you’re not a serious person.

[Motolani Alake @OneMotolani]

A woman who is apprehensive about being “male-centered” is obsessed with the optics of being a good partner to you, because of what her fellow women would say. Women who would waste no time being male-centered if they found a good man. Work on becoming a solid man, pick wisely.

[Motolani Alake @OneMotolani]

Dear men,

What you need is what one of my OGs calls a “Sicilian wife.”

You won’t have this problem with a “Sicilian wife.”

So your first duty: Avoid women who are obsessed with not being male-centered.

i think the love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere. a solitary soul loves u by choice and not out of need for company

People don’t understand why Virgil van Dijk keeps getting mentioned in the GOAT debate. Probably because he’s not the type of old-school defender who flies into every tackle, slides across the box every five minutes or ends every game covered in mud.

The problem is that many people judge defending by what they can see, not by what never happens.

The greatest defenders don’t make the most tackles, they prevent the need for them. If a centre-back is constantly making last-ditch challenges, it usually means the danger has already developed. Defending starts long before that. It starts with reading the game, anticipating the next pass, positioning yourself correctly, controlling space and forcing attackers into decisions they don’t want to make.

That is exactly what made Van Dijk special.

His biggest weapon wasn’t aggression, it was intelligence. He reads attacks several seconds before they happen, which is why he always seems to arrive effortlessly. Watch him in 1v1 situations and you’ll notice he almost never dives in. He stays on his feet, slows the attacker down, blocks passing lanes, shows them towards the weaker option and waits for the exact moment to win the ball. That level of patience is incredibly difficult because one wrong step and you’re beaten.

But People confuse calmness with doing nothing.

Football isn’t won by looking busy. It’s won by making the right decision over and over again.

There’s a reason Van Dijk went years without being consistently dribbled past in the Premier League. It wasn’t because attackers were afraid to take him on. It was because they rarely found an angle where beating him was actually possible. His body positioning, timing and understanding of space eliminated options before they even existed.

What separates Van Dijk from many great defenders is that he wasn’t just an elite defender, he transformed the entire system around him.

Before he arrived, Liverpool were one of Europe’s most entertaining teams but were defensively fragile. The same players suddenly looked organised once Van Dijk became the leader of the back line. Full-backs attacked with more freedom because they trusted him to cover transitions. The midfield could press higher knowing there was security behind them. Liverpool could hold one of the highest defensive lines in Europe because they had a defender who could dominate aerially, read through balls early and recover if someone escaped.

Very few centre-backs change how an entire team plays.

Then there’s his physical profile.

He has pace, strength, exceptional aerial ability, balance, composure and one of the cleanest passing ranges of any defender in modern football. Whether it was switching play with a 50-yard diagonal, breaking lines with a pass or carrying the ball into midfield, he wasn’t simply recycling possession. He was starting attacks.

Modern football demands far more from centre-backs than simply clearing crosses. They have to defend large spaces, beat the press, build attacks and organise the defensive structure. Van Dijk mastered every one of those responsibilities and excel in it.

His peak from 2018 to 2020 wasn’t just “world-class”, it was historically dominant.

He helped Liverpool win the Champions League, ended the club’s 30-year wait for EPL title, finished 2nd in the Ballon d’Or as a defender, won the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award and was widely regarded as the best centre-back in the world. For a defender to enter Ballon d’Or conversations in an era dominated by forwards says everything about his influence.

Football has produced great centre-backs across different generations, each with unique qualities. But if the conversation includes defenders who changed the way the position was played, dominated their era and elevated everyone around them, Van Dijk absolutely deserves to be mentioned.
