The way Cape Verde played, you will hardly believe that this was their first time at the World Cup. Debutants drew 0–0 with Spain.
They went further & drew 2–2 with Uruguay.
The Blue Sharks finished second in Group H & qualified for the knockout. They leveled in the match TWICE. Messi’s goal was not enough.
They were forced to extra time. Argentina barely avoided one of the greatest football upsets of all time. They may have survived, but Cape Verdeans will go home with their heads held high. Congratulations to the debutants.
This is what the beautiful game is all about. 🫶
@SwedeninNigeria Is interviewing APPROVED STUDY PERMIT during biometrics in Abuja an official embassy procedure? Please clarify bcos this is what a female embassy staff in abuja office is doing to approved applicants @Migrationsverk
Dear @SwedeninNigeria,
Could you kindly clarify whether it is official procedure for applicants who have already received approval for a Swedish study residence permit and are invited only for biometrics and photo capture to be subjected to additional interview questions at the
@Iyoaiye_@ruffydfire @lyoaiye credible candidates like your president abi 🤣🤣🤣 it is so said that the TYPICAL YORUBAS are so sentimental that due to tribal sentiment s they would rather be subjective than objective in their reasoning. #Jokers follow the flies in the grave now🤪
Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
“I’m Really Ashamed To Call Myself a Yoruba Man. Yesterday, Some Fulani Herdsmen K!dn@pped People In Abia State And Demanded a N10M Ransom. Immediately, Youths Of The Community Mobilised, Stormed The Bush And Assisted In The Search Efforts. The Victims Were Rescued Within 24Hrs. Did You Hear About It On Social Media? Meanwhile, Since The Kidnapping Of School Children And Teachers, The Youths In Ogbomoso Cannot Even Enter The Bush. As a Yoruba Man, I’m Ashamed To Be One.” ~ Man Reacts
"They want to arrest me because I'm documenting bad roads in Delta State."
— Moment a man confrønted another man alongside a police officer after they allegedly attempted to arrest him for recording the poor condition of roads in Delta State.
It is time for Asiwaju to finally disgrace Obi. Jagaban should humiliate him & show him that they are not mates. BAT needs to teach Peter Obi a lesson in a debate. We have to settle this once & for all. APC, can you make it happen?
@ogundamisi Sadly, I can't help say that their rescue was swift, meticulous and well carried out due to their affiliation with the past minister. However, what about the other abductees? What is their fate by not being affiliated to any influential political figure? 😟 @PoliceNG@ruffydfire
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
On the Record: NDC Primaries... A Better Abuja Is Inevitable | #AishaforSenate2031
As the dust settles on the NDC Primaries, I want to set the record straight: I did not quit, I did not drop out of the race. I stayed to the end. I also do not intend to litigate a process that was never truly allowed to happen, I share my truth because the people of Abuja deserve the truth.
Why I Ran
I came into politics from a deep conviction: that to drive the transformation we hope to see, it is not enough to complain from the outside. You must step into the ring with your convictions and fight to get into the positions where decisions are made with the weight of the law.
I understood what I was getting into. I knew that the quality of our politics has not yet risen to the occasion, that values-based candidates do not easily emerge by merit in a system built to resist them. But I made a decision going in: I would not compromise my values. I would stand for what is right. I did not leave advocacy to go into politics. I took advocacy into politics.
The Campaign We Built
I ran a campaign I am truly proud of. Our ground game was on point. We had grassroots credibility, the kind you don't manufacture in a backroom. The SAY-Nation volunteer network was formidable, so formidable that the process had to be taken out of the open and resolved through a clandestine affirmation behind closed doors.
Street by street, ward by ward, conversation by conversation, we built something real. To every volunteer who knocked on doors, every supporter who argued our case in market squares and motor parks, every young person who believed that this time could be different: I see you, and I am deeply grateful. You showed Abuja what a people-powered campaign looks like.
The Process That Wasn't
What was billed as a primary was, in truth, a predetermined outcome dressed in procedural formalities. The primaries were repeatedly postponed. Venues were changed at the last minute. Guidelines of the party were not followed. Delegate based process was introduced to be conducted at a central location instead of the direct primaries to be conducted at Local Government headquarters. When the moment came, the contest was not decided by delegates in the open; it was affirmed in a closed room, away from the people whose voices it was supposed to reflect. The party will indeed go on to release statements upon statements about the free and fair nature of the Abuja FCT primaries. They are entitled to their voice, but the facts that transpired when litigated by conscience and the guidelines of the electoral act do not reflect justice and fairness.
Why I Didn't Escalate
I ran to win. But when the process was subverted, I made a choice: I would not exhaust myself in a grievance process designed to wear people down. I chose instead to extract every lesson this experience had to offer.
I now understand the architecture of the system in ways no textbook, no punditry, no amount of outside observation could ever teach. That knowledge is worth more than any petition I could have filed. I leave this process with something far more valuable than a ticket; I leave with clarity.
It is important to note that this account reflects my experience in the Abuja FCT Senatorial race. It does not speak to what transpired in other states, nor do I claim to understand the specifics of those contests. Every state had its own dynamics, and I will not generalise from my experience.
On the NDC
For now, despite its shortcomings, the NDC remains the only party that has given the better Presidential candidate in the 2027 electoral cycle a platform to run. To everyone within the party working to make this possible, I am grateful. Transformation does not come from outside alone. It must also be fought for within.
A Better Abuja Is Inevitable
This is not the end. What we built, the network, the credibility, the grassroots trust, cannot be taken away in a backroom.
Listen to this sweet song and help me with this question........ Did Rihanna actually sing a song for Peter Obi or AI?
This song is so sweet and adorable.
