Owatemi: Nigeria’s shining light In number 10 Downing Street  

At 26, @TaiwoOwatemi got elected into the UK House of Commons and has since been a MP for Coventry North West since 2019. In 2024, she was appointed Government Whip and Lord Commissioner.... https://t.co/EodBTp0aWf

Thank you Cape Verde....You lost but won hearts of every football fan pushing defending champions Argentina to the absolute limit in a breathtaking clash
Nothing but RESPECT for this fairytale journey and the power of their rallying cry:"Small island, big dreams, nothing to lose"

How it started Versus How it ended

No joy for Mama Joy today as South Africa got bundled out of the World Cup by a late goal.

Thanks to Canada for sending Bafana Bafana 'bek' home to face their 'jabs'

#worldcup

[Tope Templer @TopeTempler]

All is well that ends well!

Mama Joy finds her voice again

As South Africa makes history to qualify from the group stages for the first time

Jabulani Africa 🤞

#FIFAWorldCup

PS:
Match ended 4-1
The most ever goals scored by the USA in a World Cup game
And before 75,000 spectators in Los Angeles

[Tope Templer @TopeTempler]

Folarin Balogun is the revelation so far of the 2026 #worldcup

Already registered his name as the highest goal scorer at the moment with his beautiful brace in just the first half of the first game!

Current situation
USA 3
Paraguay 0

[Tope Templer @TopeTempler]

That opening between South Africa and Mexico ended 1-1 with a memorable goal celebration by the host to register their first ever World Cup goal in front of hero, Nelson Mandela

Today history repeats but why is the rest of Africa especially Nigeria rooting for Mexico to win?
🤷

[Tope Templer @TopeTempler]

The 2026 FIFA World Cup begins. And it's a complete rematch of the 2010 opening ceremony when South Africa hosted the first World Cup on African soil.

If you are watching Mexico vs. South Africa today, you are witnessing one of the most insane coincidences in football history.

[Tope Templer @TopeTempler]

That World Cup left so many memories, Waka Waka and Wavin Flag theme songs, the Vuvuzela edition, the Octopus edition, Ghana's abrupt end of a historic semi final finish and Spain's golden generation eventually lifting their first World Cup.....

Something is not adding up at #AMVCA2025

Whatever happens with the remaining seven nominations we still stan #SevenDoors

[Femi Adebayo @realfemiadebayo]

They said knock...

We kicked down Seven Doors.

11 nominations. One purpose — and I'm dressed for the moment.

#AMVCA2025 - We're not just here. We came to own it.

Not all HEROES wear CAPES

On World Humanitarian Day, a fitting honour to 10 Years since Dr Stella Adadevoh died
Her brave efforts stopped a deadly epidemic in Nigeria. If only such heroic effort had stopped COVID-19…
A tribute to Bravery and Humanitarian Heroes

@Mn_Nabo We cannot Lord thy purpose see, but all is well that's done by Thee.

Take heart and be strong for your mom. The beautiful memories and his legacies are a treasure you have to hold dear.

Years down the line, you will look back at the shared memories with smiles and not tears.
