🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation inform US Soccer they will contest Balogun’s eligibility after the game, if selected.
“The RBFA has informed the United States Soccer Federation that it contests the eligibility of the player, should the player be listed on the referee's team sheet”.
“This leaves all further actions open.”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
It is wake up time Nigeria. If the people do not rise now, press a reset knob and take back their country from the kind of people who now dominate the political class, real disaster which makes the frightening excesses of today seem like kindergarten rhymes, looms

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Impunity and disregard of decent order has become our way. When Yaradua was dying people lied and governed in his name. They did the same with Buhari. They are doing so again. This is high treason. This is why I say nobody over 70 should run for office. I am 70
Aisha Buhari tiptoed out of her closet to tell Nigerians that her husband was the best president after chilled zobo.
In my very before, she wants to whitewash that monumental failure, and many Nigerians on the timeline are supporting her.
Our problem is that, we dislike history and forget too soon.
One day, they'll tell us to forgive Mahmood Yakubu and Tinubu. Why not? If someone like Morris Monye can be whitewashed, who can't?
The Ministry of Education has now contacted the National Mathematical Centre to request that it submit all national Olympiad competitions it organizes.
They want to start sponsoring all of them to the international finals now.
They have started contacting schools already.
This was abandoned in 2019.
I hope they don’t politicize it.
Our children need to shine on global stages.
GANG OF THIEVES: The IMF has revealed that @officialABAT and his gang of thieves cannot properly account for public spending worth about 2% of Nigeria’s entire GDP, roughly ₦8.8 TRILLION.
Off-budget spending, hidden from proper scrutiny and accountability. This is not a government; it is an organized looting operation! #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027
UPDATE: “I Bought The Mandilas Building Through a Loan From Zenith Bank. The Lagos State Government Initially Demolished Part of the Building and Refused to Rebuild It. After I Was Granted Approval to Reconstruct It, I Took Another Loan and Rebuilt It. Now, the Lagos State Government Has Returned to Forcefully Take Over the Entire Building. Despite Obtaining All the Necessary Approvals, Operatives of Government Agencies, Accompanied by a Thugs And Police Task Force, Forcefully Entered My Premises, Damaged Property, and Confiscated Goods Worth Over ₦3 Billion.” ~ Onuorah Eze Okafor Shares His Ongoing Dispute With the Lagos State Government Over the Ownership of the Mandilas Building.
Surely, @FemAdesina brings excellent credentials to the task of bloviatong about poor leadership & corruption. He saw both up close & enabled them.
I don’t understand why Nigerians even remotely think @officialabat Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, @femigbaja , was acting alone in taking a N400million bribe to create a fake government agency. Come on!
Do you guys not know @femigbaja's history in Atlanta, where he was stealing his client’s money as a lawyer? And @officialABAT himself lived in Chicago, where his past was tied to drug-trafficking and a major forfeiture case.
So, please, spare me the nonsense that @officialABAT suddenly discovered he had a thief beside him! Do you seriously think Tinubu doesn’t know Gbaja? Birds of the same feather don’t need introductions.
The real question is not whether Tinubu knows what Gbaja is capable of. The question is whether the entire @officialABAT government is not a racket.
The #gbajagate scandal and the kangaroo investigation by the State House have forever stained the integrity of our financial sector.
How can you convince investors that an allegedly fraudulent person can open an account in the CBN, the apex regulatory authority on banking in Nigeria!, and also open 34 bank accounts without being flagged?
We all know what we are doing.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
