I'll give married guys some free advice... ​Chase your wife around the house. You turn something on in her. You guys become children for just that 4 minutes running around. 😉 ​Lift her off the ground. It says something to her mind. 😉 ​But if you want to keep the spark alive in the middle of a busy life, add these to the list: ​Take over the dinner chaos. When she is staring down the pot trying to figure out how to feed everyone, stepping in and saying, "I've got this," or just ordering the Friday night pizza or food so she doesn't have to cook, speaks directly to her soul. ​Handle the unsexy logistics. ​Give her the gift of absolute silence. Sometimes taking the kids out of the house for two hours so she can just exist in a quiet room without anyone needing anything from her. ​Flirt with her during the ordinary moments. A wink across the room while you are both cleaning up the kitchen reminds her that underneath the heavy titles of "Mom" and "Dad," you are still just two people crazy about each other. ​Notice the invisible labor. Thank her for remembering the scheduling, the grocery, and all the behind the scenes magic that keeps the house running. It bridges the gap and silently says, "I see exactly how hard you work for us." ​The movie romance is great, but the trenches of everyday life are where the real connection happens. Show up for her there.

This cost them about $1 trillion. The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people. And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

@footbolmatter10 Twice.

You mean Nott Forest that have won champions league already or another one?

@fablouschiboy @footbolmatter10 😂

@footbolmatter10 He started Watching Football in 2020

Amen

We call Mother Mary "full of grace." The month of May will be full of grace for you and your family. The month of May will be a month of healing for you. Those who struggled in April will experience a turnaround. People who gather to fight you, will be confused at their gathering. May will be full of grace.

@frmarcellinus He's an outsider, it's global practice for power to revolve around those that wield it. Even Asiwaju is an outsider na why he wants to die there. The difference in the two is that one has the intellectual capacity to push progress and the other is bankrupt of such.

Why are they all afraid of Peter Obi?

On this last day of this month of April, may God give you something to testify about, put a new song in your mouth, and do something new in your life 🙏🏿

🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson on what still decides football in 2026: 🗣️ Ferguson: “People spend more time than ever talking about systems, structures, build-up shapes, inverted full-backs, and all of these modern ideas. And yes, the game has changed, no doubt about that. But football has never stopped being simple at its core. At the highest level, when pressure is at its peak, tactics don’t score goals and they don’t clear danger in your box. Players do. The ones with courage, the ones who don’t hide, the ones who take responsibility when the game is tight and everything feels heavy. At Manchester United, we always understood that. You don’t build great teams by overcomplicating things—you build them by creating winners. Players who hate losing more than they enjoy winning. That’s what carries you through difficult moments in a season. I’ve seen matches where we were not the better tactical side, but we won because the mentality was stronger. We refused to accept defeat. Someone always stepped up, whether it was a tackle, a run, a goal, or just leadership in the dressing room. Modern football will keep evolving, but one thing will never change. When everything is analysed, studied, and planned… it still comes down to individuals stepping up when it matters most. That’s what separates good teams from champions.”

@FabrizioRomano @NoorCars It's thriller...

🚨 Michael Jackson will be Burnley’s interim manager until the end of the season, club statement confirms. Follows Scott Parker leaving with immediate effect.

My father's best friend was a man called Uncle Bayo who disappeared from our lives without explanation. I was 12 the last time I saw him. He came to our flat in Gbagada, argued with my father in the bedroom for an hour, and walked out without saying goodbye to me. My father never spoke his name again. Neither did my mother. Uncle Bayo became a silence with a shape. Twenty-six years passed. I was in Philadelphia for a conference. A networking dinner at a hotel downtown. Across the room, a man about my father's age caught my eye and held it too long. He approached me during dessert and said my surname like it was a question he already knew the answer to. We sat in the hotel lobby until 2am. He told me the story my father never did. They had started a construction company together in the early 90s. It had failed because of a contract dispute with a senator. The senator had paid only half the money and refused the rest. The debt had crushed them. Uncle Bayo had blamed my father for trusting the senator. My father had blamed Uncle Bayo for not reading the fine print. The friendship had shattered. Two men who had been closer than brothers had become strangers over something neither of them could control. Uncle Bayo had moved to America after the falling out. He had built a new life, a new business, a small contracting firm in West Philly. He had married a Ghanaian woman and had two daughters. He had never returned to Nigeria. He had never called my father. He had assumed the silence was mutual. I asked why he approached me now. He said he recognised my face because I looked like my father at 30. He said he had been waiting for decades to see that face again, to explain something that was never about betrayal. He said the argument had been about shame, not money. Both men had felt they failed each other. Neither had known how to say it. I called my father from the hotel room. It was 3am in Lagos. He answered on the second ring, voice thick with sleep and alarm. I told him who I was sitting with. The line went quiet. Then my father did something I had never heard him do. He cried. Not softly. The kind of crying that comes from a place words cannot reach. Uncle Bayo flew to Lagos 3 months later. They met at the same flat in Gbagada. They sat in the same living room where the argument had happened. They didn't re-litigate the past. They just sat together, two old men with white hair and matching hypertension medication, and let the silence heal. My father died last year. Uncle Bayo spoke at the funeral. He said the greatest thief in life is not money or failure. It is the belief that there is always more time. Call them. The debt is not theirs. It is yours.

@ch_erem @DeraUgwuanyi @Victorokeke_ I no even get their energy. I'm just imagining the reaction of the 120+ of us in our faculty when they see those tweets. The stoning of St. Stephen would be child's play to what they'll receive. People that have lost out on promotions and scholarships you don't want their fury.

@DeraUgwuanyi @Victorokeke_ @Ubappe10 No mind this pr Marchants, I applied for mine since October last year and they are still yet to send it to me

I studied at UNN. I can attest to that. Nearly every lecturer in my faculty had a foreign PhD. We have up to 50 PhDs. My project supervisor has four master's degrees. He gives you tea or chocolates anytime you visit him in the office.

@Victorokeke_ @WisdomIbeawuchi Lucky you... that's all I can say.

@WisdomIbeawuchi @Ubappe10 I received my transcript in Abuja twice last year before coming to Korea.

@WisdomIbeawuchi @Victorokeke_ I've friends that have lost scholarship opportunities, promotion opportunities because of this. Me I know opportunities I've lost out on because of this matter. It's not funny, I know colleagues that would have dropped screenshots from our WhatsApp groups.

@Victorokeke_ @Ubappe10 No it’s harder now. The system is slow trust me things have gotten worse.

@WisdomIbeawuchi @Victorokeke_ I finished classwork of my postgraduate in 2023; I started in 2020, it was supposed to be 2yrs. Thesis etc took from 2023-25, oya naah let's assume the students delayed on their part, as I'm talking to you just a handful have gotten statement of results. People are begging

@Victorokeke_ Let me not talk sha...make e no be sey I dey demarket the school. In the words Mourinho "I prefer not to speak"

@Ubappe10 UNN has one of the most efficient transcript processing systems. I have collected mine more than five times since 2019, and it always arrives by DHL in less than one week. I'm not even doing PR for them. Just my lived experience

In the Catholic Church, the month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. During this month, the faithful are especially encouraged to honor our Blessed Mother through expressions of love, devotion, and prayer. To fully participate in this year’s May Devotion, we invite you to join us on a spiritual exercise themed: 31-Day Journey with Mary. This spiritual exercise will consist primarily of prayers and other acts of faith. Each day’s activity will be shared here daily throughout the month. Do join us! Let’s walk with Our Lady every day of May and draw closer to Jesus. #31DayJourneyWithMary
