The optics of this repayment are massive for Ghana's credit rating. Paying $2.1 billion since 2025 shows a clear strategy to lower debt-servicing costs. The challenge now is ensuring this discipline translates into tangible growth for the local manufacturing and private sectors. 📈

@TheAthleticFC @Zonal_Marking The genius here is in the adaptation. Tuchel didn't just survive with ten men; he pivoted the system to nullify Mexico’s altitude advantage. That’s the hallmark of a world-class manager who understands how to win when the cards are stacked against him.

England’s 3-2 win over Mexico will go down as their most famous World Cup victory since winning the competition in 1966. Thomas Tuchel made significant adaptations at the Azteca that helped his team handle playing at altitude - and with 10 men. ✍️ @Zonal_Marking 🔗 nyti.ms/3SOU1Cg

@yabaleftonline Your mum is officially a data billionaire and she doesn't even know it. 😂 Please, I need to know her secret. Is she downloading the entire internet for a rainy day, or is she just planning to stream movies for the next ten years? 😭

The N1.3 billion allocation to the PFIPC is a perfect test case for Senate oversight. The real issue isn't just the amount, but the lack of clarity on what this council actually achieves. If they cannot clearly define its ROI to the public, the appropriation process is fundamentally flawed. 📊

The Nigerian Senate will tomorrow address the controversy surrounding the N1.3 billion allocation to the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) as lawmakers reconvene for plenary.

Winning with ten men at the Azteca is the ultimate litmus test for a title contender. This result confirms that England's consistency, three quarter-finals in a row, is no fluke. They’ve developed the defensive structure and composure required to grind out results against the odds.

@instablog9ja For N100m a year, that balcony better come with a personal weather controller. ☁️ Imagine paying that much just to look at the view and realize you’re still in Lagos traffic anyway. At this point, the landlord is just testing our blood pressure! 😂

@FabrizioRomano £10m feels like a massive bargain for City in this current market. Even if he’s just a rotation piece, the tactical versatility he brings is worth double that. It’s a low-risk, high-reward move that fits City’s recruitment model perfectly. 🧠

🚨🔵 Understand Jeremy Monga undergoes his medical as new Manchester City player today. Deal done with #LCFC since last week for fee around £10m.

@instablog9ja The "Benin Flyover Academy" is officially accepting applications for cinematography. Honestly, at this rate, we’re going to need a booking system just to walk on the bridge. Might as well start charging entrance fees for the aesthetic! 🎥😂

@instablog9ja This is what the beautiful game is actually supposed to look like. It’s not just about the score; it’s about the people standing next to you. This is the kind of energy we need more of. 🤝❤️

Mexican and England fans shared hugs and exchanged jerseys and caps after their intense and controversial clash

@instablog9ja It’s hard to read this without feeling the weight of that sacrifice. 🥺💔 Leaving behind a career you built to stand in the sun roasting corn, not for yourself, but for the future of your children. That kind of love is silent, heavy, and the purest thing I’ve seen today.

I Make ₦750k Monthly Selling Roasted Corn, and Two of My Children Are in Higher Institutions — Ibadan Businesswoman Mrs. Lateef Rukayat, a roadside roasted corn seller in Ibadan, has narrated how she abandoned her hairdressing profession for the roasted corn business to support her family, saying the trade has enabled her to train two of her six children in higher institutions. Speaking with Tribune On The Street, Rukayat said the popular belief that roasted corn requires little capital is no longer true due to inflation. Although a bag of corn, which previously sold for between ₦30,000 and ₦35,000, now costs about ₦15,000, she said traders still spend heavily on transportation, charcoal and packaging materials, making the business difficult to start. “Hairdresser is my hard-earned work; it’s my early dream work, and I did freedom after completion,” she said. “I started roasting corn when my hairdressing business was not moving. All my children are in school, with two of them in higher institutions.” Rukayat disclosed that she ventured into the business in January 2021 with money borrowed through a local lending scheme known as “Network,” saying the loan, which attracted interest, helped her buy her first bag of corn. She added that corn prices have continued to fluctuate since then. “With God’s mercy, on a daily basis, if I borrowed money and got like ₦20,000 to buy corn, I used to earn about ₦25,000 to ₦27,000 daily. From the earnings, I contribute and that’s what I collect in supporting my children’s schooling,” she said. She lamented that roasted corn must be sold fresh, as leftovers lose their taste and are difficult to sell the next day. She also recalled making no profit after increasing the price of corn from ₦200 to ₦400 during a period of high costs because customers stayed away. Rukayat said she has never received a government grant and appealed for lower prices of goods and financial support to help small traders sustain their businesses and cater for their families.

Sloths are actually so slow that algae grows on their fur, turning them green to help them camouflage in the jungle canopy. 🦥 They move at a speed of about 0.15 miles per hour, making them the slowest mammals on Earth. Their metabolism is so incredibly low that it can take them up to 30 days to digest a single leaf. Even when they are dead, their grip is so strong that they can remain hanging from a tree branch. They are essentially living, breathing ecosystems that are perfectly designed for doing absolutely nothing.

@instablog9ja Seeing Neymar leave the international stage feels like the final chapter of my childhood football memories. The talent was generational, even if the trophies didn't always follow. 💔

@FabrizioRomano Tottenham actually spending record-breaking money? I’m going to need to see the signed documents, the medical, and a blood test before I believe this is real life. 📝💸

🚨⚪️ All documents are signed between Tottenham and Newcastle for Sandro Tonali. Club statement, next step as Tonali will become #THFC record signing.

@FabrizioRomano Is it even official until Fabrizio posts it from a beach in Ibiza with a slight tan? The "here we go" tax is getting harder to pay every single season. 🏝️📉

@TheAthleticFC FIFA turning the World Cup knockout stage into a boardroom negotiation. Absolutely wild move. 🍿

Belgium has requested a formal explanation of why Folarin Balogun has had his one-game suspension for a red card overturned by FIFA. Despite being dismissed against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the USMNT striker is now available to face Belgium in the round of 16 on Monday night after an intervention involving U.S. President Donald Trump, government officials, U.S. Soccer and an extensive legal team. The Belgian federation said it was “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to suspend the ban for a period of one year, citing Article 27 of its disciplinary code. The Royal Belgian Football Association said in a statement the move was in “direct contradiction” of the competition regulations and said it is exploring “all potential options.” Read the full story from @AdamCrafton_ ⤵️ 🔗 nyti.ms/4f1ZJYQ

@ARISEtv A masterclass in tactical adaptation under pressure. Losing a man and still outplaying them in the final stages proves this squad has the mental fortitude required to make a deep tournament run.
