Maybe it was tough getting out of bed today. Maybe the weather ain't helping. Maybe you just ain't feeling it. That’s alright. Today doesn't need to be about crushing it. It just needs to be about staying consistent. Show up anyway. Go get 'em 💪🏽

This goal. It had to be this goal. 🌟 Sidny Cabral. Cape Verde. The 2026 #FIFAWorldCup Goal of the Tournament. 🇨🇻

My interpretation of "Good artists copy, great artists steal"? Good artists dream. Great artists execute.

@AfricanHub_ I strongly disagree. Standardizing on any one African language will give way to the same linguistic imperialism imposed on us by our colonizers. What we should do instead, is foster an environment where all African languages can thrive with no bias or prejudice.

South African politician Julius Malema has once again called for Kiswahili (Swahili) to be adopted as Africa’s common language. He emphasised the need for the continent to overcome the linguistic divisions left behind by colonialism. In discussing the importance of stronger African unity, Malema argued that embracing a widely spoken indigenous language would improve communication, enhance integration, and build a stronger shared African identity. He also encouraged South Africa to introduce Swahili into its school curriculum as a practical move toward wider continental use.

A fan of Spain approached me after the game to show me a picture she took of me right after singing Cabo Verde's national anthem at our first ever appearance at the World Cup. She said "It's a moment of passion that I just had to capture. Congratulations on an incredible debut. We're fans of Cabo Verde now." That's it. That's the post. 🇨🇻 #throwbackthursday #worldcup2026 #caboverde

"Don't confuse movement with progress." — Denzel Washington Social media posts, interviews, public appearances, etc...these are just means to an end, not the end itself. It’s the daily, unseen internal grind that actually moves the needle.

An ultimate sign of being secure in oneself, is giving credit where it is due.

I'm Cabo Verdean body, mind and soul. But I’m also a fan of beautiful futbol. I’ve rooted for Argentina for years, and them eliminating CV from the World Cup doesn't change that. Also, let’s be real: for everyone calling out Argentina’s racism while wearing the jerseys of European colonial empires, save us some oxygen and STFU!

Congratulations Egypt 🇪🇬. Yet another point of pride for Africa in this World Cup. What we just witnessed from Argentina is typical of true champions. No matter how many times you get knocked down, you get back up and you keep believing! Vamo campeones 🇦🇷

Don't fall for the glitz and glam of being an entrepreneur. 86% of small business owners make less than $100k a year, and the majority of them would actually make more money and have less stress working a regular paying job. Build something because its worth the cause, not because you think it’s a shortcut to easy wealth.

Netherlands vs Morocco 👀 This World Cup is heating up forreal now 🔥🔥

Japan was trying really hard to completely mess this up and they did it. SMDH 😤

NÓS TODOS TE AMAMOS EVORA, NÓS CRESCEMOS A ESCUTAR SUA VOZ Q NOS TROUXE O AMOR AO FUTEBOL É TAMBÉM POR VOCÊ

Don't do it for the brand. Do it for the cause and the brand will come.

@V0ZINHA Da-l na kriole nha broda. No Bai!!

Vamos!

There is a big difference between creating content and solving problems. Right now, the trendy narrative is blaming foreign entities for exploiting Cabo Verde. It’s a convenient distraction. Speaking in vague, abstract terms is safe because it requires zero accountability and makes for great content. But it's all smoke and mirrors. Let's speak with precision: the number one reason the economic development of our islands is in a chokehold isn't across the ocean. It’s the greed in Praia. The actual wealth and economic value are generated by the hard work of the other islands, but the capital island of Santiago hoards and consumes the benefits. We lack the political courage to name the real culprit because pointing fingers at foreigners is easier than confronting our own domestic corruption. But until we stop hiding behind broad concepts and target the exact local mechanics bleeding our islands dry, we are just running in circles. Real action doesn't start with fighting a global ghost. It starts with calling out the greed right at home.

You're not a victim of circumstance. You're a fighter of your own destiny. Its not today's conditions that dictate your future. Its the decisions that you make! Go get 'em y'all 💪🏽
