To the little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷, One who was once too quiet, too fragile, too weak, too small - with a body that betrayed him but with dreams strong enough to power through. The little boy from Rosario who left home before he was ready, burdened with the hopes of millions before he was old enough to carry his own. To that little boy, I write as tonight might be your final dance. 🇦🇷 🇪🇸 You conquered Europe, conquered every record that they said would never fall - to the world, you were an undisputed genius but everytime you put on the Argentine camiseta, he felt like a curse trailed you. One final lost after another. What mattered to you the most, to bring joy to the cot that cradled you was constantly out of your reach. Every defeat you suffered kept reminding us, that maybe, you're just as human as we are. Every time you cried from the bench with swollen feet, we watched and are reminded, maybe you're just as human. You retired and we thought your story was over - we could still make peace with the joy you've given us from club spectacle. Like the Phoenix that you are, you rose from the ashes that was designed to bury you - you walked back into storms that was orchestrated to sink you. My dear little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷, you walked back to the pitch - fingers pointed to your grandmother who first believed, doubled the joy you've always brought us, fulfilled your lifelong dreams, made new records and broke your own records. I'm not even Argentine but you've spurred me to permanently chant: "Soy hincha de la Selección, La aliento con el corazón Ganamos la tercera con Lionel Queremos ser campeones otra vez" Tonight is not just another final, Muchacho. Tonight is not just about the hunt for another trophy, Lionel. Tonight is about the compression of a 2-decade story line from 2006 to 2026. All the tears, heartbreaks, all the doubts & how you repeatedly resurrected with no points left to prove. We might not have existed in the times of Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, Michangelo, Plato, Isaac Newton - but it's been the absolute privilege of our lives to have existed while you did, the absolute honor of our lives to have been your audience. Long after stadiums rot into the ground in silence, and goals get forgotten - we will always remember how you made us feel. One day when we're all frail and rottening in our grandpa era, our grandchildren will feel electric surges just from touching us - and it will be difficult for us to explain that it was your gift to us 70 years back. Maybe your last dance, maybe one more dance - but we're privileged to be dancing with you again, Mi Capitan. 🐐 🇦🇷

@boy_director Who cares? It's not a fact,it's just a fiction from Ronaldo fan base! They should keep the tears coming!

I hate how this corruption agenda is gradually tagging into Messi’s hard earned achievements.

@ThaEuropeanLad Remove Romero and add Cubarsi.

World cup team of the tournament do you agree with this or is anyone missing?

ETIM ETIM: "Two young women from Kaduna state – Mary Habila and Mary Baski – left home and visited the country home of David Umahi, minister of works, in Uburu, Ebonyi state, where they spent the night or many nights. In the morning of June 26, 2026, Mary Habila was found dead in her room in the minister’s palatial residence. The other lady, Mary Baski, has since disappeared into thin air. She has not uttered a word about the death of her colleague and friend, and nobody knows where she is. The mystery surrounding the death of Miss Habila in Umahi’s residence has become one of the biggest scandals this year. It is even bigger than the Prince Adeyemi story, but unfortunately, the Nigerian media, the NBA, civil society, National Council of Women Societies, Kaduna state government, the presidency and even the Nigerian Police have been uncharacteristically muted about this mystery. Who killed Miss Habila and why? What was she doing at the minister’s residence?" thecable.ng/what-really-ha…

pov: you tried to banter your project supervisor

@Buchi_Laba The guy show workings honestly 👏

Na you I happy for pass 😂🤣! You suppose pop champagnes ! I know I criticized you but massive credit to you. Respect 👏🏾.

I've been thinking about this almost every day. What would it actually take to ensure every single child in the South East is in school? I don't mean reducing the number of out-of-school children. I mean ZERO. I'm setting myself a target: Zero out-of-school children in the South East within the next 24 months. And within 4 years, I want us to drive illiteracy as close to zero as possible. I know it sounds ambitious. There are children out of school because of poverty. Some because of culture. Some because of religion. Some because they have to work. Others because there are barriers we've not even identified yet. But I genuinely believe this is a problem we can solve if we stop treating it as someone else's responsibility. So I'm asking for your help. If you had to achieve this, what would you do? I want practical ideas. Bold ideas. Crazy ideas. Lessons from other countries. Community-based solutions. Technology. Policy. Anything. I'll read every suggestion. If we can solve this in the South East, we'll create a blueprint that the rest of Nigeria and maybe even Africa can learn from.

To all the Arsenal fans, thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner. Leo

@39billion 😂

FIFA I don’t want today script to be sweet for everyone, wipe Bellingham red card Halftime make dem know say we no come play.

@CaptainArinze Onye uwa😂

I told the immigration officer that I am in the UK for just two nights. She stared at me again. Opened my passport, and goes, ‘You travel a lot. For work? What do you do?’ In the gentle voice of the Virgin Mary, I told her what I normally tell people when asked that question. ‘Ashawo ka m n’agba.’ If you guys don't hear from me in few hours, just know na aba go m ime.

@asemota 😂😂😂

😂🤣🤣

@mc_lively_ The data said so!

Ok he’s the greatest dribbler of all time. Are you happy?

@chiamakaafc Thierry Henry.

Name ONE player who has won all these. just give up you can’t 😂

@maxvayshia Lagosians just needs to experience Akure or Abuja to feel alive!

If you are a Lagos resident using public transportation to work today, just observe your fellow passengers, look at them, ALL of them are tired! Tired from returning from work yesterday at 11pm and waking up by 3:30am today. Rubbish lifestyle and a useless, smelly city with zero waste management system that looks down on other premium cities like Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Uyo and Port Harcourt.

@onwuchekwa_ 😂

You don enter flight before wey Dey sponsored by “Presidency” ? Like SLEPT IN ENUGU WOKE IN ABUJA type of movement?

@tobyasky Maybe in 50yrs time people we watch Messi and say is AI...Unreal!

…but people are crazy o, how do you see someone like this and compare another player to him 😂😂 Deceive us on social media, but make sure off social media, you’re not lying to yourself 😅 Let’s even ignore trophies or any achievements, you watched this mf play football for 20 years and you said someone is better😭

@Wizarab10 So the entire 1millon billionaires lives in Lagos?

Let try some maths. I stand to be corrected. About 140m of us live in poverty. That leaves 60m of us. You really believe that 1m out of 60m are not worth or do not have N1b?

@arojinle1 Even in war,there are rules of engagement. If Tinubu has performed reasonably well let him play the game according to the rule!

Tinubu will just be laughing. Imagine your opponent begging you to please help him get better so that they can fight you 🤣 If that was what he did, you think he'll become the president?

@UnkleAyo 😂😂

I'm sure I've told this story before. I once dated one that could kill goat. In fact, we went for their family event in Ekiti & she's the one they called to come and ignite listergen at night. Inside darkness o. That was the day I knew the relationship wouldn't last.
