There is something deeply troubling about the typical Nigerian response to any general problem. Beyond the initial displeasure (and sometimes anger), there’s often no deeper curiosity to understand the root cause(s) and find a common solution in the long term.
This has to be the first World Cup where I'm perfectly okay with whoever wins it

I need to go get snacks
My superpower is ignoring any “controversies” about a movie before going to see it. Since no one can force me to pay to sit in the dark for hours, only crime a movie can commit is failing to entertain me. The only one that broke through my ignorant bliss for The Odyssey was Lupita’s casting as Helen of Troy.
Something I love about football is the incredibly weak link between visible physique and ability. Kanté (5’6”) and Haaland (6’4”) share a profession. Basketball by contrast selects for height, swimming for wingspan. But football mostly selects for things you can’t see.
I just remembered that as kids in Lagos, we use to rent bicycle for a duration and return it without needing to provide our IDs and co.
What was the trust based on?
I’ll never forget the time DMX said Lloyd Banks was trash everybody was like huh??? Then he came back and was like he got him mixed up wit Tony Yayo and everybody was like ahhh ok that makes sense
Mourinho is one of the biggest reasons football conspiracy theories became mainstream. He normalized blaming every setback on corruption or rigging. That's why I'll never take him or his cult seriously. He helped start the anti Barca rhetoric that eventually became anti Messi too
For the new Messi fans let me tell you, the accusations of Messi being favoured by fifa is not new. In pep era barca were so good that they labled them as Uefalona.
He is making them cry since 2 decades now, enjoy this ride you will not get this back Messi fans.
Bellingham can't do what Pedri does, and Pedri can't do what Bellingham does either. In fact, Madrid actually needs a player with Pedri's profile. The comparison never really made sense because they're two completely different kinds of midfielders.
Never really understood how people can be so confident that one or two people can influence close to 200 journalists into voting for a player to win the Ballon d'Or. Sure shady things happen, but people speaking with absolute certainty about something they can't actually prove.
I hope everybody realizes that if France wins the World Cup, Dembele will win the Balon D’or winner, not Mbappe.
There’s a power shift in football economics that’s now bigger than Perez’s hegemony. The middle east is after soft power and it co-opts political…
It would be pointless
The Federal, State and LGA Govts don't make Playgrounds and Sporting Facilities available
It's common to see areas with population of 500k people without ONE decent facility
So there's nothing for him to work with
What’s crazy is that many remote villages in Afghanistan didn’t know about the American invasion until like 2015.
Some Americans would turn up and the locals would ask “are you the Soviets?” And the US soldier would reply “sir I’m black”
The Olodo Uprising talk is irritating
The Nigerian Intellectual is unprincipled and ends up having the same political choices and behaviour as the illiterate Nigerian
So why this attempt to put blame on others?
The Nigerian Intellectual is 100% complicit in this disaster
