You can’t even contest Toni Kroos’ opinion in any football conversations. Dude won 6 UCLs and the World Cup.

2026 FIFA World Cup Prize Money (Top 4) FIFA is paying out a record $871 million in total prize money for the 2026 World Cup (the biggest ever). Here’s what the top four teams earn in performance-based prize money:

The quickest way to “get your spark back” is to literally light yourself on fire. You’ve got to burn baby. You’re depressed bc you’re not being insane enough. Double. Down. The world does not reward half ass. All in or out. You’re thinking too small. You’ve accepted your current reality as the only reality. Bullshit. You need to write a list of the most insane asks you could ever dream of. “I am a NYT best selling author. I am the founder of a Fortune 500 company. I paint for a living and I make a damn good living.” Ask and you shall receive. Embody and you become. Flip the fucking script. Your current ceiling is now the floor. Level up. You need to burn.

The key to living a comfortable life is confrontation and chaos actually. You have to say no. You have to tell people to fuck off. You have to be mean in necessary situations. A life of peace isn't built off of being a yes man and taking a passive approach to everything

As an average Nigerian, once big money starts entering your hands, one of the first groups of people you should avoid totally is the so called Nigerian celebrities. Many of them have no genuine interest in helping you. As soon as they see say money dey your hand, they will suddenly become friendly, telling you everything they can do to take you to the next level. But many times, the real interest is in how much they can collect from you. Avoid them as much as you can. Once they drain you, they will move on to the next victim.

Focus is saying no to good ideas to only pursue truly great ones. I hate good. It traps you.

By the way, Kylian Mbappe becomes the first ever back to back World Cup golden boot winner. He is also the first ever football to win the World Cup golden boot at two different world cups. He is also the cumulative highest goal scorer in the history of the World Cup ever.

Sometime in the early 2000s, I was taking the New Nigeria Bank CEO and my Oga to the airport in his 7 Series BMW because his driver was stuck somewhere and they were late for their flight. The CEO was so impressed with the car that he said he was going to get one like that. My uncle told him that he had the wrong priorities and that a car wasn't an appreciating asset. It was an interesting conversation. He explained to him that the car was a place he temporarily stored money. He always sold or traded in those high-end cars after a year or less for newer models, and their costs were “likely” deducted from tax as an expense. He is an accountant and knew a lot more than the average person about assets and liability management. He told the CEO that a house in Ikoyi was better than all the exotic cars you could buy. It was funny that he bought a property from someone at Parkview, and the first thing the guy did was buy new cars with the advance payment before the deal was concluded. That guy is still hustling till today. I learned a lot from that conversation, and I never saw his cars the same way again. He kept changing them, and those who were observing thought he was being extravagant. There is another friend in England who has also only had cars on a lease arrangement for the last 17 years. Leases are written off for tax purposes. He always gets a new model. Only the ignorant and the less wealthy see cars as a status symbol. For the wealthy, it is part of wealth and tax liability management. That 2001 BMW 7 Series is worth nothing today; the houses in Ikoyi still pay out rent yearly.

Sometime last year, I was going to buy a really high-end car to “reward” myself for a really good year. Agreed price with the seller and just when I sent the instruction to the bank to make the transfer, I looked at that instruction one more time and asked myself if I really needed a car. Ended up deploying that money back into the financial market and it’s up 62% ish since then. So please listen to the man. Invest and keep investing like your life depends on it. Not saying you shouldnt flex but making your money work for you should always come first.

It’s so incredible that Cristiano Ronaldo has played for SIX teams including his national team & scored 100+ goals for FIVE of them. For context, Ibrahimovic played for TEN teams including his national team & scored 100+ goals for just one. Respect Ronaldo.

Tonight officially proved why 1 World Cup doesn't make you the GOAT. Ferran Torres just picked up his first, meaning he has the exact same number of World Cups as Messi. So would you say Ferran Torres is equal to Messi? GOAT debate finally reopened 😂😂

make money early cos your entire nervous system relaxes when your finances are in order. life doesn’t feel so heavy anymore. you sleep better, you think more clearly, you’re less stressed and you make better decisions. financial peace is a different kind of peace. there’s nothing soothing like going to bed and waking up without any string of financial stress on your mind. make money. above all, love god.

Making my applause as loud as my cynicism. Congratulations to the US for hosting an absolutely safe tournament. Contrary to what we all thought, there’s been no major incidents whatsoever. Well done👏👏👏

The easiest way to avoid looking bad is to do nothing, but if you do nothing, you look bad too. So if you're going to look bad either way, you as well do that thing you want.

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said the bank estimates the FIFA World Cup has generated about $20 billion in economic activity in the U.S.

As opposed to? I mean if you don’t come from money or your parents aren’t going to pay, where’s the money supposed to come from?
