@jamesagada Are they to you? Never mind… I don’t want to engage in a hostile argument, which this could be. Have a good evening.

@osasuo Facts are clear to everyone in this case. You don't have a monopoly of the facts.

I have no fidelity to #Senegal. I have no fidelity to #Maroc #Morocco. My fidelity, as far the 2025 #AFCON final is concerned, is to the truth, facts and what is in the best interests of #football in #Africa, no matter whose ox is gored. Let this be unquestionably clear…

@osasuo You clearly have a bias … it’s not ok to say that Senegal deserves to win this! They forfeited that right themselves! You should take a page of Hugo Broos book, clearly NOT a Morocco lover, but at least he is objective about the situation

@jamesagada I know this matter better than you and most people here. I am not here to debate facts. I state the facts as they are. You can take it or leave it.

@osasuo Should? Why? Let's forget this pretense to fairness. If we start looking at what should har been, Morocco has no reason being in the final at all.

@Sa3idZahir Facts are very simple things. And I was an eye-witness to everything, by the way.

@osasuo This is an oversimplification. The key is the referee’s official report and CAF regulations. Any claim about a “legitimate winner” must be based on those documents, not assumptions or narratives.

@osasuo @CAF_Online Well you start to understand what we are saying. The referee already whistled for the end of the match in videos clearly too see. And as you say they ordered him not to end the match and not to give Senegal yellow cards.

If, as a top source in African ⚽️ has told me, that Olivier Safari Kabene, the head of @CAF_Online’s Referees Committee, told Patrice Motsepe, at an exco meeting, that he gave an order to Jean-Jacques Ngambo Ndala, the centre referee of the #AFCON final (pictured right), not to issue yellow cards to the #Senegal players that walked off the field in Rabat, why have disciplinary proceedings not been instituted against both men? Why is Kabene still in his job, when he had no right to give such an egregious instruction? Why is Ndala still on the #FIFAWC2026 list?

@osasuo @maroc25 @CAF_Online @NGSuperEagles @NwabaliBobo This is pure whataboutism.We are discussing the final, yet you’re bringing up a semifinal incident that the 🇲🇦team had absolutely nothing to do withan incident,I should add, that only you claim to have seen. I’ll ask again: what exactly did the🇲🇦 team do that warrants an apology?

@osasuo @maroc25 @CAF_Online @NGSuperEagles @NwabaliBobo You do realize it’s fake news, right? The video is out there! it’s a snack or wissle, not ‘the smallest banana on earth.’🤣 Did you hear the federation, the coach, or the goalkeeper mention anything? No? That should tell you everything Stop spreading X rumors & check your bias

@maroc25 @CAF_Online I condemn Morocco when the facts demand that and I also condemn Senegal when the facts also demand that. No team comes well out of that AFCON final. Each must take their fair share of the blame, without fear or favour.

@osasuo No wonder Motsepe was trying to bully you in a press conference because you know the truth about the corruption in the institution he leads. Absolutely no one should go for Wafcon in Morocco, it will be an exercise in shame and corruption

The President of #Senegal has put the #AFCON trophy 🏆 in his office. Let anyone that has two heads go and collect it from his office in Dakar.

@DZFANBOX The foreign hand is very real in Africa. Sadly, our own people allow them to interfere. They even encourage it.

@osasuo I respect your work & opinion very much but there are topics you don’t want to address We need to ask ourselves who handed CAF to FIFA on a silver platter and allowed it such influence/interference. “The foreign hand” is the century fable here in Africa the bogeyman used by all

I just had a phone discussion with a top Moroccan ⚽️ official, about the current #AFCON 2025 troubles. It was a very frank chat, in which we each gave our points of view. You can imagine, of course, we saw a lot of things differently. 🙂 But one thing we do agree on - #Africa does itself damage with this nasty fight within the family. It needs to end - quickly, ethically and properly. A divided #Africa is cannon fodder for outsiders looking to take advantage of the continent.
