This is their 26th night being held by terrorists 🤲🏻😭😭. I think of them every night😭. God!

It was because of CAF. In 1964, a CAF delegation led by Kwame Nkrumah boycotted the 1966 World Cup, and one of the demands was for FIFA to ban apartheid South Africa. No one is going to address what's happening in this year's World Cup unless CAF speak out.

By the next World Cup, he will be 38.😭 For those asking why the Somali referee Omar Artan cannot officiate matches in Mexico or Canada. According to the BBC, "All on-pitch officials must stay at the base in Florida for training, preparation and security. It would therefore not be possible for Artan to stay outside the United States and only referee matches played in Canada or Mexico."

I’ve tweeted it before but I’ll say it again, everyone I know that traveled out 2-4 years there life has gotten significantly better in a way that might not have happened if they were still in Nigeria.

South Africa, Germany and other recent #WorldCup hosts were forced by FIFA to promise all accredited officials, players and staff would be guaranteed visas and minimal immigration interference for the tournament duration. Why is the United States exempt from that @FIFAcom?

Sudan bleeds for gold. Congo bleeds for cobalt. Greed is pulling the trigger.

Nigeria will most likely never get better within our lifetime. The problems we were facing in 1980 is the same problems we are facing today. Nigerians being individually exceptional, resilient and resourceful is not a fluke. It is a direct adaptation to the collective dehumanization and hostile conditions the people were born into and bred in. It’s the law of the jungle, the strongest shall survive.

Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5. I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma. That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly. I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while. We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.

I feel so bad for him man💔would've been the 2nd youngest referee at this World Cup asw

All African and Asian countries, if they have a spine, should pull out of this farce of a WC. Call for a no-confidence motion against Infantino. Take a stand. But they will not

150 years of feminism, but prostitutiön is still one of the most profitable professions in the world.

The USA is subjecting all the players from African and poor Asian countries to sniffer dogs and drug searches when they arrive in the USA and random searches at any time. All the White teams get a pass. The USA is such a racist hellhole, even worse than in the 1960s.

Africa's top referee will not be allowed to officiate at the World Cup after he was refused entry to the USA, FIFA has confirmed 🚨

I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed. Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public. This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours. As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on. The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability. We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul. Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security. We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States. He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival. Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.
