At least, the world appreciates his brilliance.
He's always been a world class footballer.
He's the most complete footballer after CR7.
Look at Abati.
The once fiery Dr Abati, the top editor of Guardian newspaper, cannot utter a word.
He became a government spokesman and ultimately stopped his crusade as a fiery no holds barred journalist and now is a politician at heart.
He's now a weak journalist.
A shame.
What money and power cannot do, does not exist.
Rufai, you need to beware of Abati, your co-host.
Beenie Man cannot touch or near Sean Paul discography.
"Get Busy" and "Got to Love You" will totally crush all Beenie Man discography.
Sean Paul was a true pioneer and singlehandedly made his genre of music popular and mainstream.
I feel like this DJ tried to rig the battle in favour of Sean Paul, cos Beenie Man definitely has heavier hits, Imo.
All four songs from Sean Paul are certified bangers, but regardless (and Iike Paul too), I'm going with Beenie. The first two songs from Beenie are elite-level bangers that eclipse anything Sean Paul has to offer🔥🔥.
Celebrating black music.

The University of Sankore in Timbuktu was operating in the 12th century.
At its peak it had 25,000 students.
It held between 400,000 and 700,000 manuscripts on mathematics, astronomy, medicine, law, literature and theology, many of which are still being catalogued today.
Seven hundred thousand manuscripts.
In a city that European maps labeled "terra incognita."
Unknown land.
Not unknown to the scholars studying astronomy inside it.
Not unknown to the merchants who traveled thousands of miles to reach its markets.
Not unknown to the students who came from across the continent and the Arab world to study there.
Unknown only to the people who needed it to be.
Because 700,000 manuscripts changes the sentence.
Because a university operating a thousand years ago in sub-Saharan Africa changes every assumption that colonialism was ever built on.
And the assumptions needed to survive.
So the manuscripts were not taught.
And the "terra incognita" remained, in the minds of those who needed it to, incognita.
The idea of self-immolation as a way of drawing attention to a political cause is absurd and terrifying.
It's quite similar to a suicide or a suicide bomber.
It does nothing of note to sway the minds of the main political players involved in whatever atrocities that triggered such a person to take his life in such an extreme way.
They'll just chalk it up to mental illness or radical religiosity.
It's really sad.
⛔️Warning 18+
⛔️We will never forget this great hero of humanity 🙏🏻
⛔️His name was Aaron Bushnell. He burned himself alive to protest a foreign war and killing innocent children, a war supported and backed by the US government. He was an American citizen. He's been trashed by those still alive. He's dead. RIP Aaron 🙏🏻
By December he's done.
1000 goals.
What a man.
What a legend.
FIFA and UEFA need to name an award after this man.
The true GOAT🙌
I read a study that says the odds of a lady going through life from infancy to old age without being sexually assaulted is close to zero.
Literally close to zero.
It really did get me thinking deeply.
It should get you thinking deeply as well if you're a man.

Julius Malema: EFF Fights for Black Ownership with Control
In this clip, Economic Freedom Fighters President Julius Malema argues that Black South Africans owning businesses does not mean they control them. He gave the example of African Rainbow Minerals Chairman Patrice Motsepe, who is “worth” $3.4 billion, yet owns only 40 per cent of the company. A Broad-Based Economic Empowerment trust owns 14 per cent. Without more than 50 per cent ownership, Motsepe doesn’t control African Rainbow Minerals, which raked in $65 million in 2025.
Malema argues symbolic ownership is not enough when control remains in non-African hands. What do you make of his argument? Drop us a comment.

It's not "insane mentality", it's weak mentality from a rookie coach.
You never tell your players to stop running or slow down the tempo of a game because you winning by a wide margin.
Rather you remove the high intensity players and bring in a player with "medium" intensity.
You fvckin substitute.
Despite all these humiliation by the Greek government:
His parents still gave him a Greek name.
He and his family still identifies as Greek.
Most importantly, that isn't his surname.
They even changed his surname.
His surname is "Adetokunmbo" not that shit name after his Greek name.
His parents are not proud of their heritage.
His parents are extremely shameful.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, and the Greek state registered him as a citizen of nowhere.
Not Greek. Not Nigerian. Stateless, on the municipal register, from birth.
He stayed that way for eighteen years.
Tonight he makes his debut for the Miami Heat.
Greek citizenship passes by blood, not by birthplace. His parents came from Lagos in 1991 and had no papers. So their son, born in the Sepolia neighborhood of Athens, belonged to no country on earth.
Angelos Syrigos is the Interior Ministry official who handled the file. Here is how he describes it.
They "had been registered as stateless in the municipal register."
His school leaving diploma recorded his nationality as Foreigner. He could not leave the country, which meant NBA scouts could not watch him play anywhere but Greece.
Here is how he describes that.
"We didn't have the opportunity to be who we were destined to be, because we didn't have the piece of paper."
"They couldn't deport me. But they could deport my parents."
"So we were afraid as kids that one day we could wake up without our parents."
Sean Gregory at TIME is the one who got him to say that.
Now here is the part almost nobody tells.
In 2013 the NBA started calling, and so did somebody else. The Nigerian embassy in Athens offered to issue him a Nigerian passport, so he could get an American visa and go to the draft.
Greece moved in seven weeks.
Here is what the Greek Interior Ministry said about it afterward.
The state's "only intervention was to accelerate the procedures."
He became a Greek citizen on May 9th. Milwaukee drafted him on June 27th. Forty nine days.
A country that had him on file as belonging to nobody made him one of its own in seven weeks, once another country wanted him first.
Then America said no. Twice. His brother Kostas has described it.
"We were denied twice and if you are denied the third time, you have to wait like 10 years."
So he played half of his first season alone. His parents and younger brothers finally landed in Chicago in February 2014.
"I don't have to worry about nothing anymore. Not what I'm going to eat, not what I'm going to wear, nothing."
Here is the part that says the most.
His mother Veronica arrived in Athens in 1991. She did not become a Greek citizen until September 2021.
Thirty years. Two months after her son won the Finals.
He is one of the wealthiest athletes alive now, and Greece has since given him every honor it has. Plenty of stateless children never get a basketball career to force the question.
But they had him down as nobody's for eighteen years, and it took another country's offer to change it.
Tonight he plays in Miami.

Getting a green card solves all these problems.🤡
As soon as the black guy becomes a citizen, the police will respect him more.🤡
That's why I love Oyinbo. All their things orderly.🤡
I'm sure a Nigerian will see this video and say something like.
"Ihn no dress well, na why. If he no keep dreadlocks, police for no harass am."🤡
If black Americans get treated like this, wearing a three-piece suit, with your green card taped to your forehead will not save you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, our best bet at getting dignity is here in our country. But we have to fight for it.
We have to fight like crazy.
