I congratulate the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts for that masterful reenactment of the transatlantic enslavement at the Osu Castle during the Next Steps Juneteenth commemoration.

Their brilliant performance is receiving wide international acclaim with invitations already pouring in from multiple countries including Barbados, Jamaica and the US.

Really proud of Ghana’s outstanding diverse talents.

May I wish all our hardworking and caring men a Happy Father’s Day.

Former CIA officer says Israel was planning to assassinate Iran’s Ghalibaf and Aragchi in Switzerland, but China and Pakistan warns ISRAEL 🇨🇳🇵🇰

“Iran got backing from Pakistan-China… They basically warned Israel: “don’t f*ck around with that, or you’re gonna be dealing with us”

@apiitoroo The fans gyimi pass

This is former FIFA president Sepp Blatter openly hating on & disrespecting Ronaldo.

Do you think we started watching football in 2024? Mbappe is facing Twitter hate, just like Vini, Yamal and others, but Ronaldo had to deal with the footballing establishment at the highest level during his prime.

As great as he was, he was also booed by Real Madrid fans at different points in his career.

Not all of us put on pampers here, please.

Give Messi just 50% of the criticism Ronaldo receives, and his career would've ended at 30.

Well this is a daft take

[BeksFCB @Joshua__Ubeku]

Thierry Henry can lecture Ronaldo about the World Cup tournament because he won it! No amount of goals scored by Ronaldo can change THAT fact!

some people are born to like this feeling

Record newspaper’s beautiful article on Cristiano Ronaldo:

Record on Cristiano Ronaldo:

There is something strange about Portugal's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. For more than two decades, we have demanded the impossible from him. And, almost unbelievably, he often delivered it. Now, as the years pass and football reminds us that no one can defeat time, many seem to have chosen to forget.

They have forgotten who permanently put Portugal on the world football map. They have forgotten who transformed a talented national team into one that was respected and feared. They have forgotten who broke record after record, who wore the Portugal shirt hundreds of times, and who was present in moments of glory as well as moments of pain.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not perfect. No athlete is perfect. No human being is perfect. But the ease with which some people try to reduce his career to a missed penalty, a poor performance, or a disappointing result says more about our collective memory than it does about the player himself.

Football has a simple truth: no one wins alone. When Portugal won, the coaches, teammates, staff, administrators, and, of course, the players on the pitch all won together. But if no one wins alone, then no one draws alone either, and no one loses alone.

When the national team fails to achieve a goal, the responsibility belongs to everyone. It is unfair and irrational to turn one player—even if that player is Cristiano Ronaldo—into the sole face of success or failure.

For years, Ronaldo was criticized for not winning trophies with Portugal. Then he won the European Championship and the Nations League. He was criticized for depending on the team. Then he was accused of trying to do everything by himself. He was criticized when he cried, and criticized when he did not cry. The truth is that many of his critics are not looking for balance; they are simply looking for a new reason to attack him.

Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy goes far beyond goals, trophies, and records. He is a rare example of discipline, longevity, and professionalism. A boy from Madeira who left home as a teenager, faced the toughest challenges in world football, and reached the summit through relentless dedication and daily commitment.

At a time when many talents lose their way, Ronaldo became a global reference point. He raised Portugal's name across every continent. He made millions look at our country with admiration. He inspired generations of young players to believe that talent alone is not enough without hard work.

Even away from the pitch, he has remained deeply connected to his roots, his family, and his Portuguese identity. He never abandoned the country where he was born; instead, he carried it as a flag.

The day Cristiano Ronaldo retires will come. That day is closer than it is far away. And when it happens, Portugal will realize what it so often realizes too late: that it witnessed a career that will never be repeated.

Criticism is part of sport, and it should exist. But ingratitude should never be confused with accountability. We can debate decisions, performances, and moments. But we should not allow the emotions of the present to erase the historical significance of what Cristiano Ronaldo represents.

Results fade, and records can be broken, but some figures transcend the game. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them. And Portugal would be better off if it never forgot that. 🐐❤️

He should keep quiet. If state funds were being misused while your party was in power and you chose to look the other way, then speaking up only when it is politically convenient is pure hypocrisy.

If they had allowed it to be a marketplace like every other major interchange would this have been possible?

[Ölele Salvador🦅🇬🇭 @OleleSalvador]

🚨ICYMI🇬🇭⚽📺: The Asokwa Interchange in Kumasi was converted into a massive public viewing centre(watch party) for Ghana’s World Cup match against Panama.

The Regional Minister and Asokwa MCE led the initiative, which builds on murals and paintings earlier created by visual arts SHS students.
