🚨 BREAKING: France players reportedly explain the reasons behind their loss to Ivory Coast.

Tensions inside the French camp are said to have emerged after multiple players realised mid-match they were technically being pressed by cousins, uncles, family friends, and at least one man who attended their parents’ wedding.

Kylian Mbappé addressed the defeat after the game.

“It was difficult emotionally,” he explained.

“At one point I dribbled past a defender and my mother texted me asking why I was disrespecting the family.”

Sources say the atmosphere became increasingly complicated as the match progressed.

One French player allegedly stopped a counterattack after recognising the opposition midfielder from a childhood barbecue in Marseille.

Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps rejected suggestions France underestimated Ivory Coast.

“Absolutely not,” he insisted.

“We simply struggled tactically against a team containing several players our scouts originally described as ‘future French internationals.’”

The manager also admitted communication became difficult during heated moments.

“At one point both benches were shouting in French.”

“Even the arguments had accents from Paris.”

Several France players reportedly requested DNA tests at half-time “just to make sure.”

Others are said to have become suspicious after hearing Ivory Coast players use the exact same insults their fathers use during family football matches.

One defender allegedly froze completely after being nutmegged by an opponent who then asked:

“How is your auntie?”

Mbappé later defended the team’s performance.

“People must understand this was not a normal international match,” he explained.

“This was basically a very aggressive family reunion.”

Again, the issue is that APC governors are actively suppressing their own citizens. This video shows how demonstrators in Kwara were being flogged for protesting. The difference is that Oyo state is actually governed; other APC states aren't.

@jon_d_doe Both are slim. I like thick. But the one on the left is more appealing. The right one is too modest. Great but not appealing.

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

5 time Champions League winner, 5 time Ballon d'Or winner, 3 trophies with Portugal, titles in England, Spain, Italy & now Saudi...

Highest goalscorer in Real Madrid history, Portugal history, Champions League history, NT history, uncountable records to his name, 27 goals away from becoming the first to reach 1000.

Normally at this stage, after all these accolades, after winning so much, at the age of 41 someone would get bored and not have the same drive, the same motivation.

But, this is Cristiano Ronaldo in tears after scoring a brace to win Al Nassr the league in Saudi Arabia - after trying so much, after coming close so many times.

When you truly love something, you never get tired of it, not in a million lifetimes, not ever.

A player who lives with football. A motivation for everyone. Once in a lifetime player & person. Football is blessed to have Cristiano Ronaldo. 🐐

Unbranded cereals may look harmless… but what are you really eating? 👀
No label =
❌ No ingredient list
❌ No expiry date
❌ No quality control
❌ Unknown sugar & salt levels

@Tolucomms @PoliceNG Food items meant to be sold in sealed packs are now being scooped from buckets and sacks in many Lagos markets.

BusinessDay investigation found many are expired, near-expiry, or rejected factory stocks, stripped of their labels and resold cheaply

Popular food brands are being stripped of their packaging and resold in buckets and nylon bags across Lagos markets.

A BusinessDay investigation reveals many come from expired or rejected factory stocks, now back on people’s plates.

[Sodiq Ojuroungbe @ojuroungbesodiq]

I spent time in Lagos markets where cornflakes, milk, and oats are sold from buckets and nylon bags with no labels and expiry dates.

I discovered during the investigation that many come from expired or rejected factory stocks, quietly resold to unsuspecting buyers.

[BusinessDayNG @BusinessDayNg]

In many Nigerian markets, food items are removed from branded packs and resold in nylon bags, buckets, and plastic cups. BusinessDay investigations found that many come from expired, near-expiry, or rejected factory stocks, fuelling a multi-billion-naira illegal trade that exposes consumers to health risks.

Improved security efficiency at Nigerian ports is critical to ending cargo theft, experts say, urging deployment of surveillance tech, tighter access controls, and inter-agency coordination.

Stakeholders note that closing loopholes will boost investor confidence, reduce losses, and strengthen Nigeria’s trade competitiveness.

Kuda laid off hundreds of employees this week in a restructuring exercise

19 of 40 marketing employees alone were let go on a video call with no prior warning. The company says it is not a financial decision and their numbers actually look better than ever. Losses dropped from $35 million to $5.8 million in one year.

They were profitable and still let people go. Good performance does not protect your job, always remember that employment is a contract that either party can end.
