I never get light for two days. See post wey dey appear for my timeline.
Well, O ti jeun yo.
There is this guy in my church who came to me to ask for my number about two weeks ago because he needed me to get something done for him. I punched my number onto his phone and I asked him to call or text me so I can be able to get his number too. By the time I got home, I saw a WhatsApp message from a 234 number, and he said that was his number. I just ignored him. I didn't even reply and I'd never save that number into my contact list.
Dude has been in the UK for four years now and he is still giving his Nigerian number to people in the UK with him. Or is it because I'm a Nigerian like him that he was texting me with his 234 WhatsApp number? I know he would not do that if it was a Brit that he had exchanged a contact with. Except for my very close friends and family members, I don't entertain any 234 messages on my 447 line. Let 234 messages be directed to my 234 number, biko.
Omo! How is he going to "pray for the nation?"
So that "God" will touch his heart to lead aright? Or that "He" will touch his followers to follow aright?
You have the opportunity to "do" what prayers shouldn't, but it makes sense to delegate back to "God."
No wam.

Not seen us play this badly in a while.
Eventually, when the referees tucks his whistle in, inadvertently allowing challenges like this to continue, he allows a game like this play out.
Rodri, Pedri, Yamal, Raphinha, Cancelo... rubbish.

One of the richest men in Nigeria, Kunle Soname spoke the truth about how the Nigerian economy has made it impossible for our clubs to win the CAF Champions League.
Enyimba won it with the best players in Nigeria and a Gov that didn’t pay lip service to football.
You would probably be in the top-10 fastest 5k runners in Nigeria.
But, the records shown here are not consistent. 2:53/km for 3.2k means you ran the last mile considerably slower. Not the norm.
I'm thinking you recorded the run with your phone. Phones aren't exactly accurate.

One wonders what the Women's marathon record truly is! Look at how many women have been busted who ran 2:16 or under! I believe it is 2:12-2:14. Truth is, AIU is busting more cheaters, especially in Kenya. I suspect that testing needs to pick up in Ethiopia. It is obviously not the shoes that make a difference, but EPO, which still seems to be the drug of choice. In 2014, I broke the news about #RitaJeptoo, who was about to take a big check from #WorldMarathonMajors. Until the punishments are so draconian (all money returned to sponsors and races) and the shame of being named a cheater, we will continue to see these posts nearly every day. @aiu_athletics is doing a better job, but big-time cheaters persist? Where do you think the women's world record for the marathon is, and by that I mean non-dopers? Do we go back to Paula Radcliffe's WR and start all over? This takes away legitimacy from women's elite marathoning. It damages the sport and terrifies sponsors. What do you think?
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended Olympic gold medallist and former half marathon record holder, 33-year-old Peres Jepchirchir in a move that shocked the athletics world.

This is getting a little too much.
Peres Jepchirchir, the 2021 Olympic and reigning world marathon champion, has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit.
The 33-year-old, who has a marathon PB of 2:14:43 and is currently ranked ninth on the all-time list, tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition sample collected in Kenya prior to the Sydney Marathon.
Jepchirchir subsequently won in Sydney with a mark of 2:18:31 on August 30.
She is one of the most decorated marathon runners in recent history, with major wins in New York City (2021), Boston (2022) and London (2024).

Not many realise this, but 'streets won't forget' is actually something of a backhanded compliment. So what does it say about Nigeria that arguably its most recognisable figure, for all his undeniable genius, is stuck in this category?

Awful performance by all standards. Not pleased with Flick'd changes.
I mean, Espart is 19. He takes him out, but leaves 32-year-old Cancelo.
Also, except Rodri wasn't fit enough, he and Pedri should have started. Could take either out after 60 minutes.

Please Everyone, I need your help.
From the accident, she has fractures in her hand, leg, and pelvic region. The doctor said the surgery will cost about ₦5 million. It is extensive and will be done in two phases.
First they will operate on her hand and leg. When she recovers from that, they will do the pelvic region.
It has been a painful experience. We have already spent so much on drugs and medications just to keep her stable this far. The pain is still there every day.
A lot of you have followed this from the day of the accident. You have seen the updates. You know what this has been like.
Please, if your heart can move you, even ₦1k, ₦2k, ₦5k, ₦10k, or ₦20k from you will help us. Every little bit carries weight right now.

Please help me share this too.
I need the support.
Thank you for reading this far.
If you were the one that did a HIT AND RUN at Ogudu express, Lagos yesterday evening, just know that it was my wife you hit.
I FORGIVE YOU, I really do.
Getting the call and the news was heartbreaking and caused tears but I FORGIVE YOU.
I FORGIVE YOU
I'm grateful to and for the Man that kept her conscious rendering first aid till the Ambulance got there.
He even stayed and helped till midnight (few minutes ago).
I'm so grateful 🙏

I'll execute this speed session. I certainly will.
Stomach bug, today. Tomorrow, I'll get on that same road.
What a year for Sifan. Tough.
Not this time, @nycmarathon… 💔
I was so excited to come back stronger, but a sickness slowed down my training and I’m not where I wanted to be. Sometimes, things just don’t go as planned.
Wishing everyone an amazing race in NYC! 🫂💞
