Fun fact. For the 1966 World Cup, England debated denying visas for North Korea. FIFA responded that if any players from any teams were denied visas,they would relocate the World Cup, even at the last minute.
Remembering 79-year-old Franklin Agbotui who was beaten to death in an unprovoked attack by 20-year-old Phillip Fraczek in East London in 2024.
There were no riots and there was hardly any news coverage.
I do wonder why this poor man's MURDER was widely ignored by the press??
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
While Jabari Stephen Brown (the pilot who won the MrBeast challenge) was initially detained by authorities in Paraguay, he was quickly released by order of prosecutors after they found no evidence of his involvement in the drug smuggling... now show pictures of the captain who flew the plane.. I wanna see something 🤔
This is Miss Mary, a 93 old woman who works AMC theaters cleaning trash people leave behind. My heart hurt watching this. This is not the way it should be. 🥹💔
@UnkleAyo Lool, Nigeria hasn’t killed anybody sentenced to death in over 20-30yrs….if at all they want to start now…TINUBURUKU will not do it in a bid not to stir more anger from the North…its all theatrical, he will grant them clemency soon and let them Go
Calculate time in reverse.
That is, if I have an appointment at 4, I start scheduling my whole day in reverse: I have to be there at 4, so I have to leave my house at 3:15 and be ready by 3:10. Getting ready takes 40 minutes, so I have to start by 2:30 at the latest, so I have to shower at 2. For that, I have to finish my chores at home, which I estimate will take about 2 hours, so I have to start at 12, but first I have to eat lunch, so I'll start cooking it at 11... and so on...
A 5-year-old boy called 911 to say his mother had collapsed. The operator told him to stop playing on the phone and hung up. He sat alone with her for 3 hours. By the time anyone came, she was already d*ad.
Robert Turner was five years old when his mother collapsed in their Detroit home on February 20, 2006.
He dialled 911 and told the operator his mom had passed out.
The operator, Sharon Nichols, asked him where his father was. When Robert couldn't explain, she decided it was a prank and ended the call. No police or ambulance were sent.
Robert spent the next three hours watching his mother deteriorate. At 9:02 p.m. he called again.
The second operator threatened to send police to the house to punish him for playing on the phone and demanded his mother come to the phone.
His mother could not come to the phone. She was dying.
Police eventually arrived to find Sherrill Turner, 46, already d*ad. Her cause of d*ath was complications from an enlarged heart.
A doctor later testified she would likely have survived if help had been sent on the first call.
The case became the first in US history in which a 911 operator was criminally convicted for mishandling a call.
Sharon Nichols was found guilty of wilful neglect of duty.
The prosecutor noted the absurdity of her defence at trial: "Her defence was that she could not hear the child.”
If that were true, how could she tell it was a prank call?
Robert Turner was six years old when he attended the press conference about his mother's passing. He was wearing a suit.
