From today, I pledge my support to Arsenal. I'm officially a Gunner!❤️I love the attitude and composure of Arsenal fans. I don't see them online insulting their players. They are loyal to their team no matter the circumstances, that's a fanclub that aligns with my principles! Next season, we go harder! ❤️
@Takunachola@Lutweetstru This toxic mentality is so unbelievably prevalent in these corporate institutions. Old heads want to see newcomers suffer like they did and they'll above and beyond to make work a living hell for them. It's pathetic
@Lutweetstru When I did my unpaid Internship at UTH, used to buy food from the ka nice spot near children's clinic, then sit in the car, my supervisor found me, it shocked him that I had a car 😂. Started lecturing me abt how he used to walk & couldn't even afford roll on when he interned
Lmfao so the jealousy leaped out because an intern buys lunch and you know they are being exploited and probably being paid rubbish or nothing at all so it angers you even more to see them spend on lunch? Got it.

Our skipper sounds the rallying cry ahead of tonight 👇
Midnight I received a call from this other dude, an Arsenal fan screaming his lungs out "we won, we won, we won". Almost tore my earpieces with his noise.
That time the dude, is broke and that's when it struck to me, football is the only thing happening in his life. He is living vicariously through "his team".
Why so many men treat their team’s win like it’s their own?
Walk into any bar on a Champions League night and you’ll see it. Grown men screaming, jumping, cursing at the ref like they’re on the pitch. The team wins, and suddenly it’s “we did it”. The team loses, and it’s a bad Monday.
That’s vicarious living, and soccer is the main drug for it.
*1. Identity without effort*
Building status in real life takes years: career, family, skills, money. Supporting a club gives you an instant identity. You’re a Man City fan, a Man Utd fan, an Arsenal fan. No tryouts needed. When they win, your identity wins too.
*2. Controlled emotion in a boring world*
Most of life is muted. Work, bills, routine. A 90-minute match is 90 minutes where you’re allowed to feel everything at max volume. The highs feel earned, even if you did nothing but watch. It’s a legal hit of purpose and tribal belonging.
*3. Tribe > Individual*
Humans are wired for tribe. Your club is your tribe. When they score, you get the same neurochemical hit as if _you_ scored. Dopamine doesn’t care that you were on the couch. It cares that “your group” succeeded. That’s why losses feel personal - it’s a group loss.
*4. Low cost, high payoff*
You can be a fan from anywhere. No gym, no talent, no risk of injury. You put in $0 and 2 hours a week, and you get bragging rights, community, and emotional highs for months. It’s the highest ROI hobby out there.
*The catch*
It becomes a problem when it replaces real wins. If your only “we did it” moment is your club lifting a trophy, you’re renting meaning. Real fulfillment comes from things you actually control: your health, your work, your relationships.
But used right, it’s healthy. It’s ritual, community, and a break from the grind. The mistake is confusing “we won” with “I won”.
Be a fan. Celebrate. Then go build something in your own life you can say that about.
Learn OR perish!!!
Honda cooked with that Jazz fit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Honda needs to open a plant mu Zed, the last time Zambians showed love like this, it was the Altezza / Corolla era
I’m an Arsenal fan, but I don’t want us winning the league tonight through Man City vs Bournemouth at the Vitality 😅 It wouldn’t feel fully earned. I’m hoping City win 0-3, then we beat Crystal Palace ourselves to be crowned.
That would feel far more special.
Thoughts?
@LentonLKS@JP_Jann Biggie boyi. 2 of them. People here are so fucking hypocritical. Some of the things some of us put up with are because we have a big heart.
My Housekeeper sent me a text asking me to lend her money to do her hair. 😂😂The audacity. Anyway, I asked her where she took her salary, ati to her mother. I told her to read the room. My beauty is on default settings. Apart from my wig, red lipstick and powder, it’s vibes. 😂
@JP_Jann This one has peshad me. It’s my kindness keeping her in the job. She’s found family nearby and is robbing me blind. But my spirit says, let her get one more pay, she has a child back home. Found bottles of black label in her room. I understand pressure, but not this drinking.
Seems ProBox Toyota is the new toast of the town after the Honda fit, I've seen so many with IT plates. In Jamaica they pimp the shit out of a ProBox, nikuno mwangala.
