As the smallest nation ever to play in the World Cup, Curaçao leaves the biggest stage after stealing all of our hearts 🫡🇨🇼❤️
The tiny Caribbean island country scored against Germany and took a point from Ecuador. See you at the next one 👏
The first and only time I ever bet on football was in 1990, when I bet that Cameroon would beat Argentina in the World Cup. The odds were 20-1. I bet £1 (that was all I could afford then) and won £20! Madam and I were living in one room in Seven Sisters, London, then. We were finally able to order egg fried rice and beef in oyster sauce from the local Chinese restaurant. Before then, it was just egg fried rice with chilli sauce and no protein.
I don’t suffer before for this my life o. And this woman suffered with me. Some days, we could only afford one meal and she would lie that she had eaten and give me the meal to eat when I came back from work. I grew up with many relatives living with us. So, by upbringing, I was raised not to finish everything on my plate. It was by watching how she wolfed down everything left on my plate that I finally realised that this woman had not eaten and had sacrificed herself to make sure I ate.
So, now, when anybody says “She’s the one eating all his money, I ask: “Before nko? Were you there when we were eating egg fried rice with no protein from Red Square Chinese Restaurant in 1990?” 😂
These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.
They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
These are the names I could copy:

I was in SS3 when my father died. We had not yet enrolled for WAEC because we had just resumed SS3.
While on his sickbed, he called me and asked about my preparations. I explained my challenges to him and told him I had not yet bought the recommended textbooks.
After listening to me, he lifted his pillow and gave me money to buy the textbooks. I bought the books and returned to show them to him. He prayed for me and told me to ensure that nothing distracted me from reading them and furthering my education.
That advice changed my life because it came from the heart of a dying man. Every word from my father's lips exposed his genuine desire to see me succeed. He spoke to me with his eyes fixed to my eyes, in a tensed but solemn atmosphere.
I saw hell after my dad's demise, but each time I felt like giving up, I remembered his words.
My dad was not rich. I knew what it meant for him to empty his savings from under his pillow just to ensure that I had a future.
To every father out there who is struggling and making sacrifices for his children, may God make life easy for you. The world may not celebrate you, but the hearts of the children whose lives you touch will never remain the same.
Happy Father's Day, heroes!
This little boy, Godwin Chijindu Ikeobi, a JSS1 student of Government College, Owerri, surprised me today.
Today he won first place in the Junior Category at the Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN) Imo State Chapter Olympiad exam.
He failed to qualify for the final round from Imo State for the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and has been crying and depressed.
He attends a government school and felt he was disadvantaged. He was one of the reasons I deployed learning content for all participants in the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad for education equality.
He took the lessons seriously and has been studying them on his own daily. Today he has proven that your background cannot limit you if you are determined to succeed.
He beat all the private and public schools in Imo State today to attain that position.
What a star!
In 1995, Mr. T was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma. His response when he found out the name of his cancer was typically Mr. T: "Can you imagine that? Cancer with my name on it, personalised cancer."
The cancer initially responded well, five radiation treatments over four weeks and it dissolved. Eleven months later it came back, and he underwent six weeks of high-dose chemotherapy.
He described the experience as the great leveller of his life: "My fame couldn't save me. My gold, my money couldn't stop cancer from appearing on my body. If they can't save me, then I don't need them."
He was declared in remission in 2001. T-Cell Lymphoma is incurable but treatable, remission is the realistic best outcome rather than a cure, which makes his sustained recovery genuinely remarkable.
His advice on the experience became one of his most quoted lines outside of The A-Team: "I pity the fool who just gives up. We're all gonna die eventually from something or other, but don't be a wimp. Put up a good fight."
