Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the best football columnist in Africa has no place to lay his pen. My contract with Afrik-Foot, spanning two years, has now come to an end. Thank you to everyone who clicked a link and who went there on the strength of my

If Victor Osimhen doesn't hit the heights, either he didn't want it enough, or there truly is juju in football. #U17WConStarTimes

Mourinho wasn't "taken" to Roma, neither did he go there out of some deep altruism. That was the caliber of club willing to employ him at the time. If Guardiola ever coaches Roma, it will be for that same reason: no bigger club considers him fit for purpose. It's not a draft.

More than anything, @DavidHundeyin is proof the fire for journalism must be lit and kept aflame from within. Never mind the critics, it would be disheartening otherwise to put in so much work and effort exposing evil, only to have it labeled "vawulence" by a vacuous audience.

Fact that, following #AFCON2023, Alex Iwobi is getting more criticism than either of Zaidu Sanusi and Samuel Chukwueze tells you all you need to know. If you've been paying attention, it should come as no surprise. Pattern behavior.

Osimhen has hit the heights, and he's still not done. Not by a long shot.

Zaidu could not pick out a quality ball all match long. Bassey does it on the first try. Can't miss quality when you see it. #NGACMR #AFCON2023

This is why the uniquely African culture of doing obeisance at the feet of experience has never sat well with me. Does not matter to me how long you have been doing something or how many people you purport to have mentored. Are you, on the most basic of levels, a human being?

thenationonlineng.net/obi-tuary/ … Obi has turned out to be an excuse for even closet Biafrans to betray open emotions about Biafra without being accused of it… It is like wearing a colour beneath another colour. Obi has become a shelter for both miscreants and activists of the crowd.

Shouldn't need to be said but, the elite, for whom the consequences of elections are greatly mitigated by wealth, cannot be the behavioral blueprint for those who do not have the same luxury.

Last night, we saw Peter Okoye (supported GRV) & Chief Priest (supporter SanwoOlu) cruising in several videos together in Napoli to watch Osimhen in UCL But you in Lafenwa have cut off Ahmed cos of his political choices/differences.
