@faith_adewale_ Thanks for the follow, Dr. Faith! You are truly one in a million, and you conducted yourself so brilliantly at the Reunion. Looking forward to seeing all the great things ahead for you.

Abeg, AI has made research too easy nowadays. Please find time to sit down, do some basic reading, and get your facts straight before arguing on podcast. It’s actually embarrassing how Shamsideen was thoroughly schooling those guys with solid data to back up everything he was saying.

ON ELECTRICITY WATCH how Mr. Shamsideen schooled this Obidiot even Peter Obi doesn't know this>>👇🔥

My blueprint to revolutionize education and youth development in Nigeria: ​Reclaim our identity: Make History compulsory from primary to secondary school, overseen by a central regulatory body of history educators. ​Fix the reading culture: Mathematics, English, and Literature in English will be strictly mandatory. ​Zero tolerance for out-of-school kids: Primary to JSS will be 100% free nationwide. Parents who still refuse to send their children to school will be arrested and prosecuted. ​The Sports Pipeline: Integrate the University Football League into the national program, and extend this blueprint to basketball and athletics. ​Mental Strategy: Introduce chess at the primary school level to sharpen critical thinking early. ​Agric Renaissance: Mandatory school farms managed by students to instill sustainability.

Things I wish I could change in Schools: Make school uniform functional & scrap white shirts & formal shoes Replace field hockey with football, for both boys & girls Replace netball with basketball, as it has greater international opportunities Make sports days compulsory attendance for parents Make sports compulsory for all students Make every school have its own supermarket, run by students Make every school have vegetable & fruit gardens, managed by students Every school to have a workshop for woodwork, electrical work, cars & other Scrap homework completely Every schoolday must be from 9am until 5pm No child can attend a school that's further than 10kms from home Kids to prep lunch for all students

This economic analysis fundamentally misreads African trade dynamics by framing a complex partnership as a one-sided dependency. A trade war would result in mutually assured destruction rather than a solo economic collapse. Crude oil is a globally traded commodity, meaning Nigeria and Ghana would easily divert their supply to eager buyers in Europe and Asia, while South Africa would face increased shipping costs and refinery friction trying to source alternative blends. ​Furthermore, South Africa cannot simply shut down West African telecommunications and banking infrastructure. Companies like MTN and Standard Bank operate as locally incorporated subsidiaries, meaning any abrupt disruption would force catastrophic asset write-downs on South African parent companies, while host governments possess the regulatory power to nationalize these assets or hand operations to domestic competitors. ​The interpretation of the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System is also economically flawed. The system optimizes transaction routing to skip commercial dollar conversions for daily trades, but it does not absorb local currency weakness or eliminate the need for hard currency reserves, as net balances between central banks are still settled using hard currency backstops via Afreximbank. ​Finally, sourcing industrial machinery from China would not deplete West African reserves. High-volume maritime lanes make shipping from Beijing to ports like Lagos or Tema highly cost-competitive with shipments from Durban, and China's expanding network of bilateral currency swaps allows direct trade in Yuan, bypassing the US dollar entirely. Ultimately, South Africa is an integrated economic partner, not a protector, and both regions rely heavily on each other for growth.

If Nigeria and Ghana start a trade war with South Africa like some of their gov officials are now starting to talk about that possible option, who will lose more? First let’s look at the exchanged goods. Both Nigeria and Ghana sell crude oil to South Africa, which South Africa can replace with Angola, UAE and even Russia. The price change of fuel will not be noticeable. We buy crude from them because it’s convenient. Not because it’s a must. Now let’s look at what would happen to them. First of all, all their telecommunications infrastructure and banking are South African. Shutting those down would cause immediate chaos. Secondly, they buy industrial machinery from us. I know you think they can just buy in China. Nope! Because they are using our banks, and their currencies are too low on strength, trying to buy from China using Dollars or Yuan will finish their reserves. How? Because SA trades and work with these countries, it can accept their weaker currencies. Also because of the new Pan African payment system called PAPSS, which uses local African currencies, these guys do not have to sell their Dollar reserves and use them for day to day trade. Because if they were to buy the same goods from a non African country, they would have to sell their dollar savings because the dollar is strong and then buy day to day goods. And when they don’t have dollars their currencies can be attacked. When Forex traders know that a country’s currency is on its knees and they don’t have external dollars to buy it back in case of an emergency, they will short it and profit from your collapse. So it’s a must for countries to hold external currencies for emergencies. So South Africa protects these countries in a way because it can be a buffer that helps them get goods without using their security reserves. Not to mention transport costs importing from Beijing won’t be as cheap as importing from Durban. Transporting machines is more sophisticated and expensive than transporting oil. And if they decide, they are going for a non African option anyway, they may find that overseas nations will dominate their industries in a way that South Africa can’t. Because South Africa uses their local economic participation and integration. So if a misguided trade war were to be started by these 2 nations, it would be the most suicidal thing we have ever witnessed in the history of trade wars. It would be extremely unwise for these guys to start something like that. Literally their economies would plunge to Zimbabwean levels in the 2000s. Do not worry about these diplomats and “experts” on social media. They do not understand the real situation. You South Africans, continue holding your leaders accountable and make them implement your laws without fear. Le ska tshaba. South Africa is the protector of these countries.

@iamDo2dtun Aibo-bo-bo....

South Africa will be the first country to leave the World Cup If you agree, say aibo!

Using a Mamelodi Sundowns heavy template ensures established club synergy a tactical advantage Bafana Bafana overlooked against an average Mexico side. Yet, African FAs continuously prioritize European managers over domestic tactical continuity, sacrificing chemistry for prestige. ​Data shows club blocks win international tournaments. South Africa's refusal to leverage its most dominant domestic spine remains a massive missed statistical advantage.

@DonaldInDenial I hope Broos will be brave enough to let the boys play. South Africans would like to see classic SA football on display... with no fear. Win or lose, the boys must be allowed to express themselves. Williams had brilliant saves Mexico couldn't score with 2 extra players

Pen, I’m so hurt man. I think you just brought back a lil bit of hope with this tweet coz I was ready to give up after that game, I really want the boys to do good and bring some dignity to our nation, I guess we should focus on the next game and remain positive

@weloveghana042 Nobody does pettiness quite like Nigerians. We failed to qualify for the World Cup, yet we’re actively monitoring Bafana Bafana's every mistake like it’s our full-time job. The dedication is unmatched. 🇳🇬😭

🇳🇬🇲🇽We’re Nigerians, but today we are Mexicans. — As group of Nigerians gathered in Mexico City to support Mexico against South Africa.

This Mexican side is really nothing special, which makes this tough to watch. Can't help but wonder how the Super Eagles would’ve torn them apart if we actually qualified. Really expected Bafana Bafana to bring that fearless, high-pressing Sundowns mentality to the Azteca, but they’ve just looked completely rattled instead. Disappointing! #MEXRSA

Look at the South Africa that qualified from our group. Calamity

@Quamclips @Obacruze Enjoy your "youth" my brother 😆😆😆

Miguel Shank is at the World Cup supporting his country🇲🇽

Hard to dispute this. Shifting to an ultra-defensive 5-3-2 completely abandoned the front-footed fluidity that won AFCON plaudits. Giving up a goal in just 8 mins to Quiñones after a backline error proved the caution was entirely counter-productive. ​Instead of trusting the local Mamelodi Sundowns technical core to control tempo, Broos chose containment at the Azteca and paid for it instantly. When you finish CAF qualifying with the lowest points total of any group winner (15), the tactical margin for error at a World Cup is already razor-thin. Neutralizing your own transition threats against an ordinary Mexico side isn't pragmatism it’s tactical capitulation.

If that half was not ample evidence of the fact that Hugo Broos has outlived his utility as head coach of South Africa, then I don't know what would suffice. Credit to him for qualifying, but let's be honest: even if you add the three points they were docked for administrative incompetence, they still finished with the lowest points total of any group winner in CAF qualifying. With the utmost respect, the story was Nigeria's pathetic implosion, not necessarily Broos' acumen. Under the Belgian, both a golden generation of talent and a boom period for the country's club game are being wasted. Bafana are being held back, hamstrung by a coach who clearly disdains the country's footballing identity and mistrusts the technical and tactical excellence that has underpinned the rise of Sundowns. He has come here and, against a fairly ordinary Mexico, dropped into a defensive shape that has not only failed to stifle the hosts, but has simultaneously neutered his own players.

Bafana Bafana is suffocating under the weight of the Azteca atmosphere early on. Defensively jittery and showing a clear lack of tournament sharpness at this level. Dropping deep too quickly and turning over possession cheaply, which directly invited the continuous Mexican pressure and the opening goal by Quiñones. It's a massive learning curve in real-time; if they don't find their composure and stop rushing their transitions, this could get away from them quickly. #MEXRSA #WorldCup2026

@finegirl_Ola @Onyeammuma Honestly, she clearly has so much to say but just can’t find the right words. This is exactly why reading needs to be a daily habit.

@Onyeammuma This agenda of “Dede not knowing how to speak well” is something I’m not falling for. Are you people saying Dede can’t express herself? I do not agree. Same Dede that we watched??

Dede really disappointed me this reunion sha Sultana called you a low self esteem girl yet again, you couldn't even say anything, all you could do was laugh? English failed her. #BBNaijaReuinion

@ntobeg Don't be an "Oliver Twist "😏. Well! Wishing y'all the best.

@david_ingya This is a realistic prediction, but as a South African, I am hoping for a win for Bafana 2-1 Mexico...I will be back here on this post tonight

Purely from a tactical standpoint, South Africa possesses the quality to frustrate Mexico today. The Bafana Bafana squad is built on a cohesive core with extensive high-level experience on the African continent, making them dangerous underdogs. ​While continental pressure on South Africa is intense, the immense burden on Mexico as co-hosts could work in the visitors' favor if they exploit the early tension. A 1-1 draw is a highly probable outcome. #MEXRSA #WorldCup2026

@PoojaMedia On Supersport?

Alex Iwobi will be one of the pundits for the World Cup on SuperSport. 🔥

@Adebayoadesanya Don't be in a rush to draw a conclusion. These guys are approaching the game cousiously and in a bid to prevent injuries.

Sorry to disappoint Ronaldo fans, but I don’t see Portugal winning the World Cup. Even 20 minutes into this friendly vs Nigeria, it’s hard to picture them competing with France, Argentina, Spain, etc. Ronaldo is a legend, but is Portugal actually strong enough for a World Cup run?

@iamDo2dtun Don Gualberto Anastasio de Jesús del Sagrado Corazón de María de la Garza y Garza-Pérez-Guzmán 😁

My name is Gustavo Pablo Diego Emiliano 🇲🇽🌵⚽️😂 Please if you are supporting Mexico against South Africa, add your New mexican name below

@PoojaMedia Thank you @AfroSportTV. But why does @DStvNg have four channels showing England vs Croatia game.

DStv 254 is showing the Nigeria vs. Portugal. RT FOR OTHERS

@Brightola11 @DStvNg @DStv How does an England Vs Croatia game benefit me @DStvNg and @SuperSportTV @SSFootball , how for goodness sake. I will rather just give up my subscription than continue with this rubbish.

I think DSTV are really us£less, 4 different supersport stations will be showing the England vs Costa Rica game And Nigeria vs Portugal will not be shown on any of the channels. This same @DStvNg @DStv broadcasted the PORTUGAL vs CHILE game. I mean what are they now useful for? Very annoying thing, with the price for subscription yet the can’t even do what they need to do. Nigerians shouldn’t be struggling trying to watch the game on a whole @DStv @DStv

@brain_okoli Amen! Brother.

A World Cup in the Nigeria needs to happen in my lifetime.
