We are losing our value system as a nation. The size of our individual wallets now decides who has a voice in society.

Flying Toke Makinwa and over 1,400 useless delegates to Dubai was apparently affordable.

But sponsoring a few of Nigeria's brightest minds to China to represent the country at an international mathematics competition was not.💔

Fvcking retards!

Now we’re stuck with BBN, peller and the likes and you can’t see the problem?

"When I wrote JAMB, the cut-off mark was 250. Now it's 150, the standard of education keeps going down. AIf we don't keep young people engaged in universities, this country will burn. Ycee, alongside other intelligent legends, hardly releases music anymore because they understand we now have a lot of unintelligent people in society. Many of them won't appreciate such music and would rather listen to songs that match their level of understanding.

I'm not saying those making such songs are not intelligent. I'm simply saying they understand the society we live in."

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

After Ronaldo won EURO 2016 while Messi was still without a senior international trophy, a common argument across football media, punditry and mainstream football discourse was that international trophies were not essential to determining individual greatness. Football was said to be a team sport, and a player’s legacy should not be reduced to what he won with his national team.

At the time, Messi had lost four major international finals with Argentina and had even retired from international football after the 2016 Copa América final defeat to Chile.

A few months later, Messi returned. What followed was an unusually busy Copa América schedule. The tournament was played in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021, four editions in just six years. Many observers could not help but notice that a player who had repeatedly fallen short was being given more opportunities to win in a short period and rightly so. Eventually, Messi won the 2021 Copa América.

For years, the football world had been told that international trophies were not necessary to be considered the greatest of all time. When Messi lacked an international trophy, the importance of international success was routinely downplayed.

Similarly, when Messi lacked a World Cup, it was not considered essential to being the GOAT. Once he won it in Qatar, however, the World Cup was elevated from being one achievement among many to the achievement that supposedly settled the GOAT debate forever.

To many Ronaldo supporters, this is the clearest example of shifting goalposts in football history. The standards appeared to change at every stage until they aligned perfectly with Messi’s résumé. What was once irrelevant became important. What was important became essential. And once Messi achieved it, the debate was declared over.

In Qatar, Argentina received five penalties during the tournament, a World Cup record for a single team in one edition. Several refereeing decisions involving Argentina remain debated to this day, including Messi’s handball incident against the Netherlands that some believe warranted a second yellow card.

For many critics, these were not isolated incidents but part of a wider pattern they believe has followed Messi throughout his career, where controversial decisions repeatedly seem to fall in his favour. They point to numerous moments over the years where they believe punishments that would have been applied to other players were overlooked when Messi was involved. Some supporters have even argued that similar concerns resurfaced only recently, after another incident in which they believe Messi was fortunate to avoid a red card.

Whether one agrees with that view or not, it has become a significant reason why many Ronaldo supporters remain sceptical of the narrative surrounding Messi’s achievements and the way they are discussed by the football establishment and mainstream media.

For many Ronaldo supporters, the issue has never simply been about preferring one player over another. It is about what they perceive as inconsistent standards. They see achievements weighed differently depending on who accomplished them. They see one player protected from scrutiny while the other is subjected to it at every turn.

That is why many continue to side with Ronaldo. Not because to many he is the greatest to ever kick a ball or he has won every trophy or because he is beyond criticism, but because they believe the standards applied to him have often been harsher than those applied to his greatest rival.

They would rather support a player who loses with his honour intact than celebrate victories they believe are surrounded by unanswered questions.

As José Mourinho once said: “If I have to win in that way, I would be ashamed.”

For them, the issue is not simply who won. It is whether the criteria for greatness remained consistent throughout the debate. In their view, they did not.

Calling out the hypocrisy of so called football pundit Thierry henry. In this UCL against Barca, when Atletico Madrid took a goalkick & their defender touched the ball again to restart the play, Henry said it should have been a penalty. In post match CBS analysis he went to lengths to explain how "rules are rules and context does not matter". He even had a bullying argument with CBS rules analyst Christina Unkel who kept on reiterating that context matters.

Coming back to Leo Messi foul against Algeria, Thierry went against his own philosophy of rules are important than intent & said that intent is important & it shouldn't have been a red card.

Thierry Henry, a great football legend, who is suppose to be unbiased as a football pundit, is changing his philosophy to support Barca when he wants & to support Messi when he likes.

Shameless hypocrite.

🚨 ARGENTINE CORRUPTION 🚨

Nicolas Otamendi received a red card vs Ecuador in the final competitive game Argentina played prior to the World Cup.

As per @FIFAcom rules and regulations, the suspension applies only to competitive games, so it cannot be served in friendlies.

He came on versus Algeria, the match he was supposed to be fully suspended in.

I wish I was making it up😭😭

[Haza🌟 @HazaBlanco]

People only see one incident but this was also 1000000% a red card, he intentionally leaned and elbowed the Algerian player in the face and the referee and VAR ignored.

They should've played with 9 men but FIFA would never allow that to happen.
