Yet when players and officials from participating nations face visa barriers from the United States, the silence is deafening.
Sport should unite nations, not be hindered by politics or selective outrage. The same standards should apply to every host nation. 2/2
The hypocrisy is striking.
When South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup, Brazil hosted the 2014 World Cup, Russia hosted the 2018 World Cup, and Qatar hosted the 2022 World Cup, many governments, media outlets, and commentators were quick to criticize and scrutinize them. 1/2

@glenn_tunes Where are the European countries (Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, & Wales). & their players who condemned Qatar's human rights record (migrant workers & LGBTQ+ Rights) in the lead-up to the 2022 World Cup in Doha? Hypocrites!
At a certain point in marriage, once you’ve lived inside it long enough and watched all the brouhaha about relationships, some days you’ll feel that urge to drop your two cents from time to time.
Experience will force your mouth to open. But before anyone enters that arena called marriage, there’s one thing I’ll always say: Ask the hard questions now, or live with hard consequences later. Be clear about what you’re walking into. Use sense. Don’t let love blind you to reality.
People love romance. But marriage is reality, and reality will expose everything you refused to talk about.
Conversations That May Actually Save Futures!
Core Compass
What truly guides your choices: God, feelings, or convenience?🤔If your foundations don’t align, the house will shake.
Money Mindset
How do you earn, spend, save, give, and handle debt?
Love is sweet, but money will sprinkle bitterleaf juice or sugarcane juice into it, from time to time.
Fight Style
When you’re angry, do you shut down, explode, or seek peace? Is your conflict style what you want to repeat in your own home?
Inner Circle & Boundaries
After marriage, who comes first? What lines are non‑negotiable for you?
Future & Direction
Where do you see your life in 5–10 years? Can you support each other’s calling without competing?
Children & Raising Them
Do you want kids? How many? What’s your vision for discipline, schooling, and spiritual growth?
Heart, Body, Sex & Trust
How do you talk about needs without shame or manipulation? What does loyalty look like in practical, everyday life?
Wounds & Healing
What pain are you still carrying? Are you willing to heal, or will you bleed on your partner?
House Operations
Who handles what, money, chores, leadership? Is that based on culture, conviction, or convenience?
Non‑Negotiables
What can you live with? What can you never accept?
What Associations can we keep
What are our ideas when it comes to friends and families? How close or far can we keep them?
What is luxury to you? Health, Hygiene, Style, Career, and more!
The list can be endless. Marriage doesn’t hide character; it reveals it. A broken relationship is cheaper than a broken marriage.
Talk now. Think clearly. Choose wisely. Before you say “I do.”
Tasted marriage before? Or you are still in it, drop an add-on to the mentioned areas, someone might need them!
I played football for the first time in 3 years this weekend. My stats:
⚽️ 1 goal (outside of the foot finish)
🅰️ 2 assists
🥅 1 penalty won.
Form may be temporary but class is permanent.
If any country needs an extra player for the World Cup, I'm available.
If you're irked about the 2026 World Cup US visa restrictions and rejections, wait and see the chaos the IOC will go through before and during the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
1000 Ways to Die - CANADA Edition!😂🇨🇦
If you’re a new immigrant in Canada and you’re secretly looking for the fastest way to go broke, don’t stress, I’ll show you the express lane.
Collect credit cards like Pokémon.
Retail chains give you one, you grab it.
That other franchise flashes its shiny gold card, you collect. Online banks promise cashback on gas, you sign up. Your main bank offers another, you accept with joy. Before you know it, you’re holding four cards like Ian octopus…and swiping them like you have Parkinson's.
Then the month ends. And reality knocks. All those “small small” purchases you made? They join hands and turn into one big dragon waiting for payment. You can’t track anything. Your paycheck starts disappearing like rapture.
Nobody will beat you, but the billing will be flexing koboko on you. Multiple credit cards = multiple ways to leak money. One card? You can monitor your life.
Four cards? Your money will vanish like smoke or one money swallowed by a snake at the 🇳🇬JAMB office that year.
If you like, keep swiping because “cashback is sweet.”
When the bill lands, you’ll understand the meaning of waterproof tears. Move with sense.
Track your spending. Don’t let credit do you WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER.
@Smarto_Sneh@bigbrovar Check the level of criticism, headlines, and posts written by the Western media about South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, Qatar 2022. However, there is silence from this edition. That says a whole lot.
I said it before and I’ll say it again: America should have been the absolute last resort for hosting a World Cup.
Between the security concerns, travel logistics, visa issues and everything else surrounding this tournament, it’s hard to see how FIFA looked at all the options and decided this was the best choi
If you’re in Toronto or planning a visit the Casa Benfica Toronto is the place to watch the World Cup.
Big screens, real passion, Portuguese food, and a community that celebrates every goal like it’s the final.
No matter who you’re cheering for, you’re always welcome here🇵🇹🇨🇦
@AfroVII I may not be able to prove it but I think that if someone subs on his/her MTN line and removes the SIM from the phone for a week or so, @MTNNG will still drain the data regardless.
