A boring Champions League Final. The less cynical team, PSG, deserved to win. How can you, Arsenal, score a goal in the fifth and then park the bus? Last year we were talking about the ridiculous 5-0 score line.

Britain cutting aid to prioritize defense spending is interesting. Aid is very controversial. We know the military industrial complex will benefit. But will the world be a safer place if Britain increases their defense spending? Why has it downsized its army?

The US Treasury Secretary said there "is plenty of money' for war on Iran. How sad. In "Keep Ya Head Up" by 2pac, he said, "they got money for wars but can't feed the poor." Keep in mind, this is a war of choice. In 1999, the Eritrean President did say, "war is Bullshit!"

CAF no longer stands for Confederation of African Football. It stands for Corruption of African Football. The punishments and fines aware handed out, why award the Championship to Morocco two months late? Worse, they reduced the fines of Morocco.

I have not had Internet since 2pm yesterday. And I am getting mixed messages. Please address my issue. It is frustrating waiting for technicians to come. I reported the issue 27 hours ago. Sf240891.

Afghanistan and Pakistan are at war. The USA and Israel have attacked Iran. We all saw it coming. It is probably a matter of time before we witness another war in the Horn of Africa. Things are not any better in the Great Lakes region. What a wonderful 2026!

The penny has dropped! This seemed to obvious from the start if you have read books such as “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” and “The Secret History of the American Empire.”

A dramatic AFCON final. I could not have asked for more. Fate and poetic justice always comes into play.

FIFA is a crooked organisation. The price of tickets in the upcoming World Cup is ridiculous. The fans have spoken. I hope the crowds at the stadiums/stadia send a message to FIFA about the over-commercialisation of the sport. Mr Infantino is making Mr Blatter look like a saint.

FIFA is still a corrupt organization, prioritizing profits over quality. FIFA’s rarionale to expand the World Cup to 48 teams is ridiculous. I've been critical of UEFA and CAF for similar issues. To be honest, I'm not looking forward to the 2026 World Cup at all.

In my opinion, Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers could petite tail bad for cinema. I have a feeling that the other potential losers are Paramount and Disney, thanks to politics.

This is how the President of a nation that Trump imposed a virtual visa ban on (Zambians now have to pay a visa bond of $15,000) - reacts to Eric Trump visiting Zambia.
Say what you must about Nkrumah's generation of African leaders - they understood the importance of "dignity".
This present crop of African "technocratic leaders" are woefully unequipped - only trained to manipulate and analyse numbers.
(The current Zambia president used to run Ernst and Young in Zambia, so his behaviour is perfectly understandable).
We were delighted to meet @DonaldJTrumpJr during his private vacation in Zambia where he experienced the beauty of our country. We conveyed our warm regards to his father, US President @realDonaldTrump and affirmed our commitment to fostering enhanced US-Zambia relations.

Where will the next generation of Nigerians "japa" to?
America? America has been very deliberate about closing its doors to Africans, for at least a generation (White South Africans are exempt). In fact, #MAGA is quite explicit about this - consider how their visa/immigration policies for Africans are evolving.
Canada? Anti-immigration sentiment is building up, and one day they'll have a conservative government in charge - who will not be as pro-immigrant as the present government.
Europe? Europe's economic prospects aren't that great - and anyone who knows anything about European history knows how they treat the "other" when their economic future doesn't seem too bright.
UAE/Gulf Nations? Those ones have already signaled that while they are happy to act as a finance/services hub for Indians, they have no desire to host a large number of Africans. Also consider their long history of racism towards Black people.
When you consider these things carefully, you'll quickly figure out that you are on your own.
A good US Open Final between Alcaraz and Sinner. Congratulations to Alcaraz. Question now is will he ever win the Australian Open, which appears to be his Achilles heel? I not tell if fans were cheering or jeering at President Trump. Probably both. Sucks the final was delayed.

People are ameliorating the politics of Ms. Rebecca Kadaga. For them, she is either without fault or a victim. They deliberately forget that she bragged about extending the status quo. She picked a side, justified parliamentary profligacy, and was dumped, just like others.

I know Tanzanians are celebrating the elimination of Kenya by Madagascar in the CHAN. If Tanzania loses to Morocco I know Kenyans will reciprocate.
