In 2015, my mum fell in love online with Brian, an American soldier who was, in fact, a Nigerian scammer from Lagos. More than a decade later, on June 8, I’m publishing THE YAHOO BOYS: Love, Deception and the Real Lives of Nigeria's Romance Scammers (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), a nonfiction book following the lives of four “Brians” to understand how and why they do it. Here’s more on my years-long investigation of a multi-million-dollar criminal underworld in Africa's largest city. 🧵👇

@motion_vibez1 Highly possible

Do you think Donnarumma would have saved that Kai Havertz’s goal against PSG? Just asking.

@FCBGlories it’s even worst than the team that just won the La Liga. Alvarez can’t play like that. Probably only Harry Kane/Lewy can fit that role with the kind of players behind him

Define perfection

@Ocar2z9g Many do.

I see “Visit Rwanda” in football advertising so much and yet I don’t know a single person who has visited or even considered visiting Rwanda

@gemutlich111 Gundigan, no coequal

Who has been Manchester city best number 8 over the years

@mitverse_ exactly! not some ‘92 man utd team

Anderson is 23 rn he was 9 when city won their first pl like from his eyes city is the most successful club in the past 14 yrs, and that'll be the same for others. Guys need to start accepting the world order has changed

@RyanMKIV It’s simply because Noel isn’t just any kinda celebrity fan…it’s a diehard fan, engaged in many city activities and events. think small

Manchester City use Oasis to give themselves credibility, it’s quite sad actually. “Look at us guys, Noel from Oasis likes us!” Have you noticed whenever a media outlet needs a celebrity Man City fan it’s always Noel Gallagher? Tune into talkSPORT and whenever they speak to a celebrity Arsenal fan it’s always someone different, celebrity fans coming out of their ears. With Man City though it’s always Noel, and the reason being? He’s their ONLY celebrity fan, so they have to milk him for all he’s worth.

Before I joined the club, Pep was already an inspiration for me. To become his player and after 9 years end up being the one with most games played under him is truly an honour. He arrived at Man City, and the Premier League couldn’t be dominated playing his way… Well, they were wrong. Not only he dominated, he changed the game in England as he did in other countries before. The hunger and ambition to want more and more even after winning and winning again was a big inspiration. For me personally, he was and will always be my father of football. A lot of the things that many managers in the past thought were weaknesses of my game, he saw it as strengths and understood me from day one. On a personal level, the kindness, trust and respect that we had for each other makes me the proudest and goes beyond football. I couldn’t be more grateful for what he did for me and my family. Thank you for all the memories and experiences to the greatest manager ever Pep Guardiola! 😄

@DaMidgetZimbo having a discourse that looks at amount without the outcomes is just a silly take what did he do with the money??

All of a sudden we are now having honest discourse huh. I wonder what changed….

@FabrizioRomano wow didn’t see coming

🚨💣 BREAKING: Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, here we go! Official bid accepted now by Newcastle board and Saudi owners. €70m fixed fee plus add-ons to bring final package over €80m for #NUFC. Gordon set to travel this week for medical and contract signing at FCB. 🔵🔴✈️

@Footballera0 really shallow of you to spread lies

Yeah they’re jumping a sinking ship, I reckon they’re all aware now that the sanctions for the 115 allegations are around the corner, this is why their boss Pep fled. That relegation to league one will hit like crack. They’re about to have a fire sale, Arsenal need to make a cheeky £50m bid for Haaland, take Doku and maybe on or two ore players off them.

@TrotroLive works well, kudos!

@Emzyl_ it’s not too deep! it’s a coronation event and he’s not even playing as a direct rival in the EPL. Thats ehy G Jesus isn’t there

Why is a Bayern manager getting so involved in all of this?? Kinda feel this is very very disrespectful to Bayern

who designed the Turkish cup trophy? meeehn 🙂

@samgeorgegh Yeah so it’s an existing law and if you dig deeper, you’ll understand it’s got lots of backward prescriptions and that’s why it’s not been enforced properly. Your job isn’t to come and enforce what’s bad; it’s to dig why it’s bad and resolve that. You are not a policeman!

I have always reiterated that personally and officially, I am always open to informed and constructive criticism and opinions. Criticisms that jump on bandwagon trends and fail to be based on fact are treated with contempt because they are not only mischievous but intended to misinform. To all the 'IT Professionals' who all of a sudden are making all manner of spurious claims that the @MoCDTI through its Agency - @NITAGhana - is acting illegally, please read the National Information Technology Agency Act, 2008 (Act 771), Electronic Transactions Act, 2008 (Act 772), the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations, 2023 (L.I. 2481) and the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendments) Regulations 2025 (L.I. 2512). The Ministry is simply ENFORCING existing legislation that has been on our books since 2008, 2023 and 2025. The proposed new legislation has NOT even been laid before Parliament. I welcome anyone to point out which specific action of the Agency is NOT backed by a provision under the stated legislation. We have a Country to build, and we will ensure enforcement and sanity in our Technology space. Cheers.

@MacJordaN crazy! clueless people who want to tax and govern what they are the least competent at

This is the website of the “people” who want to CERTIFY Ghanaian web/internet developers and “ICT Practitioners” before they can operate in the country. They'll come and make another emotional post soon. You cannot build and maintain your own website even with government money available? The joke is on them. 😂😂😂

@McFlybowy thanks! this is good!

It’s actually normal he feels the Regret, He changed the General Perception about Joe Hart with the way he treated him. Because if you strip away the ending and look at the actual career, Joe Hart was one of the defining goalkeepers of early modern Manchester City. 4x Golden Glove winner in 5 years, 2x league titles, huge performances in Europe, England’s undisputed number one for years. He wasn’t some average keeper that stumbled into trophies. He had genuinely elite shot-stopping ability at his peak. But when Pep arrived, football was entering that hyper-positional era for goalkeepers. Sweeper-keepers, buildup structure, calmness under pressure, distribution angles, circulation all of that became almost as important as actual saving ability in elite possession systems. And Joe Hart represented the previous era stylistically. Pep looked at him and basically saw a tactical incompatibility rather than a club legend. He didn’t also even treat him like one. It was more like an outcast. And lot of fans often confuse “doesn’t fit this manager’s idea” with “was never that good.” Those are two completely different things. Pep did something similar with other players across his career, good example is Yaya Toure. Once he publicly moves on from you, the football world starts treating your flaws as if they were always fatal flaws. The aura of the coach reshapes the narrative. Suddenly every bad pass from Hart became evidence he was “never good with his feet,” every mistake became amplified, while the years of top-level performances started fading from discussion. And timing matters too. Social media football discourse exploded around that period. A lot of younger fans mainly remember: the mistakes late in his career, Pep replacing him almost immediately, clips of awkward distribution, and the idea that “modern football evolved past him.” So the memory of peak Joe Hart became distorted. What gets forgotten is that goalkeeping evolves in eras. Hart was elite for the demands of his era, he’s top 5 greatest EPL Goalkeepers. Put him in a more transitional, reactive team and he thrives, left Man City and was still winning trophies at Celtic. Put him in a Pep positional structure where the keeper is practically an extra midfielder and his weaknesses become impossible to hide. It’s similar to how people now talk about old-school strikers who “couldn’t press” or centre-backs who “couldn’t progress play.” Sometimes the game changes so aggressively that players from one tactical age suddenly look obsolete in the next one, even if they were elite before the shift. The saddest thing is that endings shape memory more than primes. Football fans usually remember the final chapter louder than the middle chapters. You will hardly see anyone put Hart in Greatest EPL Conversation, and he deserves it. But the way his time at City ended contributed to that a lot.
