*WILL SMITH SOUNDS PRINCELY WHILE RUGER SOUNDS BRUTISH*

It should be feats of tact, not fits of fist.

A foolish man had a chance to walk away a wise man, a hero, to be endeared to more hearts.
But for a whim of effeminacy, he cracked.
For just a tinge…https://t.co/uyuyXPCUTr

@segalink Baby can be seen with great discomfort while head is wrapped and mother defiantly soldiered on, conducting an endangering wrap. We sue!

@josephogidi @DreadHound0 @Dmaybellinetimi I like your frame. Because how do you think about it in another way? The President has the constitutional and moral rights to run. Coming to him in cassocks is a surreptious way of gag and fetter him. Wolves in sheep clothing.

@Elxander147 @World_boss231 @masurge7 How much does a medical doctor at the FMC in your village earn? Oya, multiply that by only 3 consultants in your FMC. Do that and let's know how much is left of that 36 million naira. Don't be dumb!

@winexviv What's the population of Ghana, what's the population of Nigeria? What's the population of the students writing exam in Ghana, what's the population in Nigeria?

In my time, I didn't pay for NECO. My State Govt paid for it. Education is in concurrent list. State govt should pay.

@STACEYLUXUbs @GloriousGod01 It doesn't matter how it's done. Maybe contracted or machine-assisted. I think you may need to clarify if you meet such a man.

@dipoaina1 I agree with this line of thought 💯

@DYungcrem @NTANewsNow Even Mitchel Obama had a garden, nurtured it to drive a campaign against child obesity by adopting organic food and veggies instead of junk.

You the Dyungcrem birthed somewhere around Akwa-Ibom is displaying ignorance with arrogance on SM. I SMH for you.

@CladuOcad @enitandev If you have been following the case thoroughly, without a biased mind, by now, you would have known why the letter was forged.

Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.

Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.

A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.

And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.

Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.

The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.

FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.

That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.

I hope you have learned something today.

@_deoluwaa This is the first comment on staff welfare.

Apart from the issue of wellbeing you just mentioned, homes are already breaking because of this current set-up. I wonder what 6 weeks will do.

@tokunbo_wahab This is the best waste policing that can ever been devised by the LASG. Lagosians are ruthlessly stubborn in terms of waste and dumping. They dump at prohibited areas when people are sleeping. This is a case of were la fi n wo were. Good one!
