After Messi and CR7, stop ranking Haaland above Osimhen, Victor Osimhen is the best striker in the world right now. And if you really know football history, you already know about the other Nigerian “Victor” from the 80s who was so dangerous that defenders had to study him the night before.
President Xi’s aim is to make the world dependent on China, while China depends on no one.
Without a coalition of countries to counter it, he will succeed.

‘God Save Me’.
That was the graffiti (pictured below) imprinted on a car by an unknown African migrant held hostage at a trafficking house in Ghut Shaal, Janzur, in north-western Libya.
In truth, only God can save any migrant who gets stuck in Libya after abandonment by heartless Libyan traffickers and kidnappers or arrest and detention by the police. But the mortal that I only am, I am determined to save as many migrants as possible from asking God to save them after embarking on an ill-advised trip to Libya.
Therefore, starting tomorrow and for the next 20 days, I’ll be on a campaign of short videos enlightening the public on why they should steer clear of Libya. These videos will be on all social media platforms, but my primary targets are Tiktok and Facebook, where traffickers often hoodwink unsuspecting youth with fake promises of a better life.
For the first 10 days, my messages will be released in English (morning) and Pidgin (evening).
The final 10 days will be made in Hausa (morning), Igbo (afternoon) and Yoruba (evening), consequently eliminating language barriers among subliterates and illiterates, who constitute the prime target groups of traffickers.
I know some will only learn by experience and will proceed to Libya regardless of advisories to the contrary, but I also know many would stay put in Nigeria if they had access to credible information.
Migrants like ‘Para’ and Samuel who told me “I wouldn’t have come if I knew I would suffer this much”, those are my targets. So help me God!
The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete.
What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?
@fisayosoyombo@fijnigeria honestly, this story should be included in all national dailies, translated into different local languages to enlighten young Nigerians who might be nursing to embark on such perilous journey.

@fisayosoyombo@A_Thinker_1 .....i think the simple answer to that is most of the victims are being sponsored by "pushers" who they have to refund by working menial jobs.
Today is #WorldCleanupDay.
It is a global movement that goes beyond cleaning up waste and aims to address the systems that generate it.
This year’s theme focuses on #FoodWaste, one of the largest and most preventable waste streams affecting cities and communities worldwide.
