In 2003, they said the pressure of being the most expensive teenager in English football history would break you. It didn't. In 2004, they said you were too skinny and wouldn't survive the physicality of the Premier League. You proved them wrong. In 2005, they said the grief of losing your father and the pressure of growing into a Manchester United superstar would break you. It didn't. In 2006, they said the English fans would provoke and frustrate you into leaving the club. They failed. In 2007, they said you would never become an elite player because all you did was dribble. You proved them wrong. In 2008, they said you would never reach the level of being the best in the world. You silenced them. In 2009, Porto had never lost at home to an English side in European competition until you took your Puskás-winning goal to their ground. In 2010, I watched you take on the challenge of ending the dominance of one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Injuries interrupted your campaign, but you continued to deliver. In 2011, I watched you shatter the La Liga single-season goalscoring record with 40 goals. In 2012, I watched you lead Portugal to the Euro semi-finals, carrying enormous responsibility for your country. You won La Liga with a record 100 points, yet your Champions League journey ended in the semi-finals after a penalty shootout defeat to Bayern Munich. In 2013, I watched you score in Clásicos time and again and win the Ballon d'Or without a major team trophy, showing just how extraordinary your individual brilliance was that year. In 2014, I watched you fulfil your promise of bringing the Champions League back to Real Madrid, winning La Décima despite battling persistent injury problems throughout the season. In 2015, I witnessed another season of individual brilliance fall short of major team trophies. In 2016, I witnessed one of the greatest individual peaks in football history. While Barcelona's MSN attack dominated headlines, you went on to win another Champions League and your country's first-ever European Championship. In 2017, I watched you become a serial killer. You no longer cared about showboating or dribbling. You just wanted to destroy opponents. You won another Champions League and another Ballon d'Or. In 2018, I watched you score one of the greatest free kicks in World Cup history against Spain, completing a magnificent hat-trick, having already won another Champions League to make it three in a row. Portugal's journey ended in the Round of 16, but your brilliance was unforgettable. In 2019, I watched you dominate another top-five league with Juventus and help Portugal win their second major international trophy, scoring a hat-trick in the Nations League semi-final before lifting the trophy. In 2020, I watched you continue your extraordinary goalscoring form in Italy, winning another Serie A title with Juventus. In 2021, I watched you return to Manchester United amid strong links with Manchester City, one of the most dominant teams in the world at the time. Your return to Old Trafford was one of football's biggest stories. In 2022, I watched you go through one of the most difficult periods of your life, both personally and professionally. Still, it didn't break you. In 2023, at 38, I watched you outscore the new generation of beasts: Haaland, Mbappé and Kane, finishing the calendar year with 54 goals. In 2024, I watched you make history by becoming the first player to appear at six European Championships, extending your record for tournament appearances. In 2025, at 40, I witnessed you win a third major international trophy for Portugal, defeating Spain in the Nations League final. In 2026, I watched you lift the Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr and finally score your first-ever knockout-stage World Cup goal at 41. I've watched you score and assist with every part of your body and in every possible style: backheels, back, chest, shoulders, head. Everything. From the teenager they said wouldn't survive the pressure to the 41-year-old still breaking records. From being doubted, mocked and written off to conquering league after league, country after country. I've watched you overcome things that would have ended careers. I've watched you reinvent yourself, silence critics and keep proving people wrong when they thought there was nothing left to prove. I've watched an entire generation grow up witnessing your greatness. And if I had to watch football all over again, I'd still choose to watch you. You are, without a doubt, the greatest ever in the history of football. Cristiano Ronaldo, I'll forever adore you.🐐❤️ And if I had to watch football all over again, I'd still choose to watch you.

🚨 Pepe tears up explaining the feeling of playing behind Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal: “I remember a game when we were under pressure and I cleared a ball without looking. It came straight back. “Cristiano turned round and said, ‘Pepe, give me something I can chase.’ “I said, ‘I’m trying to get us out.’ “He said, ‘Then give it to me.’ “I laughed afterwards because he was asking me to pick a pass while I had a striker trying to take my head off. But the next time I won it, I looked. He was already moving. I put it down the channel and suddenly their defenders were running towards their own goal. “That was a wonderful feeling as a centre-back. You’ve spent five minutes defending your box, shouting, getting your body in front of things, and then you hear the crowd because Cristiano has the ball. You can finally step up. You can breathe. “He gave me a lot of those breaths. “People will remember his goals against Sweden. I remember what it felt like at the other end when the match became difficult. You look up the pitch and he’s still making the run. You’re tired, he’s tired, everybody knows where the pass is going, and he still wants you to try it. “I used to ask him, ‘How do you know I can get it there?’ “He’d say, ‘You got it there before.’ “Sometimes that was all the encouragement you needed. He remembered the good pass you’d made, even when you were thinking about the last one you’d given away. “And then there was France in 2016. When he had to come off, I looked at him and knew how much it was hurting. We’d spoken about winning something for Portugal for so many years. Now we were in the final and he couldn’t stay on the pitch. “I remember thinking we had to give him a game he could bear to watch. “That became difficult as well, because every time you looked towards the touchline he was trying to come back on without actually coming back on. I thought, ‘Cristiano, please. We can only listen to one coach.’ “I kept thinking about what it would be like to walk back into that dressing room if we lost. You can tell your friend you gave everything, and he’ll believe you. But you also know he’d give anything to have been out there helping you. I wanted us to come back with something he could hold. “When Eder scored, I still had defending to do. People watching at home could jump up and celebrate. I was looking at the clock and trying to get everybody back where they needed to be. Every ball into our box felt like it had been in the air for a minute. “Then it was over. For once, I could look towards Cristiano without having to look straight back at the pitch. I’d spent years wanting him to get on the end of something. That night I just wanted to get over to him. “Even now, when I see the photographs, I remember how difficult it was to say anything properly. You start a sentence, somebody grabs you, then you see another teammate crying and you forget what you were trying to say. We’d imagined winning that trophy so many times. None of those conversations had prepared me for actually giving him a hug when it happened. “But when we lifted that trophy, I wanted him in the middle of everything. He’d helped get us to that night. And I knew the boy who’d wanted to win for Portugal was still there inside the man holding the cup. “Today somebody asked me what Portugal will miss most. There are so many football answers. The movement, the heading, the way he could turn a clearance into a chance. I’ll probably think of another one tomorrow. “Right now I’m thinking about the next time Portugal are defending a lead and somebody wins the ball near their own box. For years, before I even had it under control, I knew I’d hear him asking for it. “I’ll be watching from home. I think part of me will still look up to see where he’s running.”

Pèp ayisyen, Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti. Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz. Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo. Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo. Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an. Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo. Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti. “Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.” 2 Kwonik 7:14 Ede nou ede Ayiti. Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

There are so many things on the internet today that (if you aren’t careful) can shake your faith and convince you that there is no God. There’s nothing anybody can tell me though; because I have experienced God in the wildest of ways. Some years ago, I really needed about 90k to make a payment and the opportunity was going to expire in the morning. I looked and called everyone I could but no one could help. So, before I went to bed, I said a prayer (God, I’ve tried my best o, I don leave am for your hand like this). Tell me why I woke up to a credit alert of the exact 90k I needed. It was payment from an ad agency I stopped working for 2 years earlier and it was for some outstanding payment I didn’t even know I was owed. Can’t tell me nothing.

This phone thing and other matters is not today o If you have followed God in me since when I became visible, you will know the dimension with which God sent me! The difference is that now, we are closer to the endtimes, just as the Bible records that: 🎤Because sin shall abound, the love of many will wax cold. Matthew 24:12 🎤Many will be lukewarm. Rev.3:16 🎤Many will be lovers of themselves than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 🎤Many will develop itchy ears, Many will not be able to tolerate sound doctrine 🎤Many will find and heap and accumulate for themselves teachers that suit their own desires(pamper their monsters👺) 2 Timothy 4:3 So you will find that people are BLATANT ABOUT SIN & EVIL but wants you to be TIMID ABOUT TRUTH! Whenever they don’t want to hear the truth, they call chastisement harsh! They say things like it could have been said nicely as though if their loved ones are about to drown or get hit by a truck they will cross their legs and say it nicely! You can accuse me of Passion, love, burdens and zeal, I am guilty of those. But the true problem that many or let me say some have with me is: 1. What I am saying is true! 2. I am a woman saying and moving in this dimension. 3. The audacity, authority and boldness with which I speak that I can only truly credit to God and not me because look at the small framed woman…if not for God! I will stop here. I am not perfect or claiming holier than thou, but our only hope of redemption is not to water down the Truth so, WE MUST DEFEND THE FAITH! And if the woman by the well could be activated and sent by Jesus to speak 🗣️then this woman here will 🗣️ 🙇‍♀️So like it or not this woman is a sent one! 🗣️Like it or not this woman will continue to speak as the Lord gives her grace and enables her! ❤️And like it or not this woman loves you period! Quick Addition: Jesus spoke some strong meat in John 6:60-69 that many of his disciples left except the 12 closest and Jesus said to the 12 remaining, do you want to leave too?? Hmmm… Truth is hard, truth is bitter. God help us!

Tinubu knows deep down that he has nothing to offer NIGERIANS. Nigerians know that @officialABAT has nothing to offer them. He just wants to complete the eight years he believes he is entitled to. His son knows it. His wife knows it. APC knows it. The Senate knows it. And you reading this, you know it too. Everybody supporting Tinubu is either doing it based on tribe, financial gains, or shelter from the EFCC. The election is around the corner, Tinubu & APC have nothing to campaign with... So they are relying on Wike and the Governors to help him win by any means necessary... 🩸🩸🩸. That is why you see them going around threatening Nigerians... Because that is the best they can do. To torment, suppress, and oppress. Look at the set of POLITICAL BANDITS we have now, The ministerial Ebonyi buffalo, the barking Obio-Akpor H!tler who now carries himself as the real @inecnigeria chairman, The dullard in Edo who doesn't even know how to spell his name, the moron in Benue who scammed his people with religion, the demented occupant in Anambra, etc. They all now move around with 50-50 shoulder pads, you dare not question them... It's all personal interest. None of them is there for you or for a better Nigeria. @officialABAT and APC introduced a demonic kind of Politics in Nigeria. Nigerians, 2027 is not about voting and going home... It is about dining with your vote and protecting your vote. By every means possible, do your part... Because the set of Political bandits and kreeminals we have now will watch you die of hardship and dance on your grave like the Osun State Michael Jackson who played his people. 2027 is very vital for you... You still have time to prepare yourself.

I still remember when my colleague was kidnapped on her way home from work early this year. For two months, her parents ran from pillar to post, borrowing money and begging family and friends to help raise the ransom. When she finally came home, she narrated how they were gang-raped every morning and night. The kidnappers chose their victims and temporary married them to themselves celebrating, eating and drinking like it was a legal union. She said sometimes they shared one woman among two, three, or four men. Weeks after her release, she was found pregnant. That same week, we lost her to su!cide. The trauma was more than her heart could bear. And whenever I see people still supporting this government, I remember her. I remember her parents, I think of other victims that never made it to the media. How do you watch people suffer d!e like this and still defend a government that has failed to protect them? Are you human at all or just deliberately wicked?

🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I decided to leave the camp without waiting for any further breach of word. For me the truth is still the most important thing in the relationship between people. However much it hurts, let them tell me the truth. In fact, in a conversation I had with the President of the FPF and with the coach on the morning of the day of that press conference — they can certainly confirm this — I reaffirmed that if they did not want me there they should tell me. It was enough for them to be frank with me. I would accept that and I promised that we would prepare something beautiful, as I dream will happen, and no one would be left angry. I remember it as if it were today. They replied in unison that no. That my place was in the National Team. Never, at any moment, have I interfered in any technical or tactical decision of any coach or national team manager in almost 25 years of career. I accept, for better or worse, what they propose that I do. I respect the decision, and when they break their word to me, I feel that my place is not there. I also owe an apology to my national team teammates for having left the camp. Despite the absolute breach of trust in the coach’s word, as those who witnessed these conversations can attest, I should not have done it. The responsibility is exclusively mine. I apologise to the Portuguese people once again, but the breaking of one’s word has, for me, a defining impact. I felt that, from that point on, my remaining would only harm the working group, and I did what I have always said I would do if I did not feel useful: I packed my bags and left. The consequence of this act of mine must be assessed and punished by the Portuguese Football Federation. I understand that the punishment should have no mitigating factors. I am not just any player; I am team captain, and that constitutes an aggravating factor. I have already apologised, but I know that attitudes must have consequences. Anyone who is in football as I am knows that, regardless of each person’s status, the rules are the same for everyone. On this subject, I have heard a great deal of talk about farewell matches, that I must have a dignified farewell and that the Federation wants to give me that opportunity. I learned in life, often hungry and with nothing to eat, that no one gives anything to anyone. I can promise all my fans, naturally and especially all Portuguese people, that we will have one or more farewell matches; there will be time for that. But when I think of the national team, what I really think of is competing. That is what I thought on the day I was given the news of my father’s death. I was at a camp with our national team and I decided to stay there until the end of the match the following day. I did for the country what I would never do for any club. Therefore, if I am physically well, playing for my club, with goals I hope, after serving the suspension that may be applied to me, I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team. This is, believe me, the purest of truths. Cristiano Ronaldo”.
