Talking drum Interpretation for Yegede Vol 17A - by Jammal. youtu.be/8JBrSdHU2yI?si… via @YouTube

After spending 2.5 weeks in an Ontario GTA hospital with my 93-year-old mother-n-law, I can say this with absolute certainty: Today, she passed away with the best doctor and nursing care any person in any country could hope to receive. The doctors and nurses caring for her were nothing short of phenomenal compassionate, skilled, and deeply human. Today, her nurse stepped back into the room and said: “It’s beautiful to see a family gathered around a dying loved one. We don’t get to see that enough.” Let that sink in. The only issue I had through this experience was private retirement-home marketing being pushed early on, pamphlets from companies like Chartwell Retirement Residences being handed out while our family was still processing what was happening. Anyone pushing private healthcare should spend two weeks watching Ontario’s frontline healthcare workers care for someone they love. Our healthcare workers are not the problem. Public healthcare is not the problem. Governments starving the system and mismanaging it like Doug Ford’s government, are the problem. I will never support privatized healthcare after what we witnessed and experienced. RIP 🙏

@MrSawyerr Since you're Nigerian, the latter.

Where does enrolling my daughters for magic lessons fall under? New age or medieval parenting?

@FroMaestro Haha. Ko bad to yen. O yi better awon omo egbe kan ni 2023.

@molarawood @Profmosun @Achilles0055199 Started off giving the benefit of the doubt but at some point if you can’t say ‘united’ or ‘successful’ in conversational Yoruba *during a political speech*, maybe just stick to geesi. Less embarrassing.

Oh my goodness. Y'all, if you're a Yoruba person. please teach your children Yoruba No matter how bad it may seem at first. Whether you live in Nigeria or abroad. It is never too late. Please, be intentional.

@kosewurara Those two are incredibly unwise. Real golugos.

The gulf states, especially Saudi & UAE need to do everything possible to make sure there's a complete end to this war. And I hope they've learned their lessons. They brought this upon themselves by forcing orange to scrap the JCPOA deal.

The record remains, there’s never been a sovereign Sukuk default

Less than 3w ago I had the chance to interview Lucescu. It's the last media interview he ever did. He asked me not to mention his struggles with illness, as he didn't want to downplay the mission and the dream he had, taking Romania to the World Cup. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

It’s an overused word but Mircea Lucescu genuinely was a real legend of the game. Never stopped loving it or learning about it. Knitted together nations and cultures within football via his passion for it in all forms. RIP

@SamAkinlotan The big issue is the safety-first approach of the coach. The wingers will benefit from being hit early to ensure they frequently have 1v1 situations against fullbacks. Arsenal currently spend eons moving the ball around while not making teams break their defensive structure.

We have many players that lack initiative. Why drive the ball forward only to turn back and pass to the defense? Half of the time the possession is lost without any productive output. Why not cross it into the box where you have a striker?

Legendary and one of the most decorated football coaches, Mircea Lucescu, has passed away at the age of 80 😔🕊️ He won 35 trophies as a manager and is regarded as one of the most successful coaches in football history 🏆 Throughout his career, he managed clubs including Shakhtar Donetsk, Galatasaray, Inter, Zenit, Beşiktaş, Dynamo Kyiv, and Brescia. Until recently, he was the head coach of the Romanian national team, a role he stepped down from just days before his passing. Rest in peace, legend 🕊️

🇳🇬 🇧🇷 Lagos hosts Afro-Brazilian Fanti Carnival Revellers don elaborate costumes to bring the rhythm and colours of Brazil's Rio Carnival to the streets of Nigeria's largest city. The Fanti Carnival is a living bridge between Brazil and Africa, reflecting the legacy of Afro-Brazilian returnees who settled in Lagos centuries ago after the abolition of slavery in the Americas

Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?” EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.” *Days later, the journalist is fired*

Revelers took to the streets of Lagos on April 5 for the city's vibrant Fanti carnival, a cultural tradition dating back more than two centuries.

@Rimzzzeee Presently reading about how they exited the earth and I'm struggling to process. Very new to all this stuff.

The space nerds are having so much fun and it is so cute to see 😊😊

58 Years ago today, The first member of the Black Panther Party out of Oakland, 17 year old Bobby Hutton was assassinated by Oakland police. The police fired more than a dozen rounds into Hutton after he surrendered and stripped down to his underwear to prove that he was unarmed

🔴Cuba Is Pan-African Too: Legendary Afro-Cuban Singer Celia Cruz Historic Moment In Zaire 1974 On September 22, 1974, Celia Cruz gave Africa a historic moment at the Zaire ’74 Festival, performing “Químbara” in one of her iconic colorful dresses. It was more than a performance, it was a powerful expression of the enduring bond between Afro-Cuban culture, Africa, and the roots of salsa.

Forgot to include Crespo and Claudio Lopez. You then had rising stars like Henry, Trezeguet, Benni McCarthy, Eto'o, Morientes etc. Owen was younger but a lot more established than these guys at the time. Klinsmann, Sheringham, Bebeto, Yekini, etc still dey o.

The number of in-form and established strikers at France 98 was remarkable. Rivaldo, Ronaldo, T.A Flo, Vieri, Baggio, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Salas, Zamorano, Mijatovic, Suker, Raul, Ikpeba, Kluivert, Bergkamp, Batistuta, Shearer, Owen, Bierhoff. The game has changed a lot.

@Aj_Agaba I hope it works. It'll solve 80% of my non-money problems.

I am a prime candidate for this gel
