For a country highly reliant on fuel, it’s an absolute shame that there hasn’t been a conclusive solution of fuel scarcity in Nigeria

Absolutely nothing huh

Thhhh

OMG!!!😟😟😟😟

NIGERIA

I had a rather interesting ride yesterday that left me pondering the state of sports in Nigeria. My long-time client had some deliveries to make, so we headed off to GIG Logistics in Garki to send her parcels, presumably abroad. But what caught my attention was something far more surprising than the errands we were running — she was engrossed in watching the Olympics on her mobile phone. I was bewildered, not because she was watching sports, but because of my own disinterest. Yet here she was, deeply invested, and she was a woman — challenging the stereotype that women aren’t interested in sports.

As our conversation unfolded, I discovered that she was once a footballer, her promising career cut short by a ghastly accident. Her passion for sports hadn’t waned, and I hadn’t seen anyone so excited about football and athletics in a long time. This naturally led us to discuss the sad state of grassroots football in Nigeria, a country brimming with untapped talent but glaringly absent from the podiums of major sporting events.

It’s an absolute shame that Nigeria, a nation with a population exceeding 200 million, has yet to secure a single gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Take the case of Favour Ofili, a sprinter who was a beacon of hope for the country, yet ended up in the middle of a controversy that many believe was an internal punishment or, worse, an outright oversight. Such incidents contribute to a growing disillusionment with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and other sports governing bodies. How can a country so rich in talent be so poor in management?

Our conversation took another turn as we lamented the underutilization of national stadiums. Take the colossal Abuja National Stadium, for example. Instead of being a bustling hub of athletic activity, it stands mostly idle, its potential wasted. On any given Saturday, Abuja residents would rather walk the stretch from Games Village to Area 1 than attend events at the stadium. This neglect is not only a waste of infrastructure but also a missed opportunity to foster a sports culture that could inspire the next generation of athletes.
The recent Olympic Games highlighted just how far behind Nigeria has fallen. Countries like Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda have embraced sports as a source of national pride and glory. They invest in their athletes, starting from grassroots development all the way to the global stage. In contrast, Nigeria’s sports sector is mired in mismanagement and lack of vision. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, we saw nations with 14-year-old athletes winning gold medals. Such achievements are the result of years of consistent training and a robust sports development system, something Nigeria sorely lacks.

The current Minister of Sports has been quick to “clarify facts,” but what the public needs is action. When will we see a comprehensive response to incidents like the one involving Ofili? When will there be a real push to revitalize grassroots sports and bring back the glory days of Nigerian athletics? These are questions that need urgent answers if we are to restore faith in the NFF, the LOC, and the entire sports apparatus in Nigeria.

conclusively, sports has the potential to unite a nation and bring international acclaim.
Countries that recognize this are reaping the rewards. Nigeria, the so-called “Giant of Africa,” must wake up to this reality. It’s time to invest in our athletes, our infrastructure, and our sports culture to reclaim our place on the world stage. Until then, we remain a giant only in name, not in achievements.

“Oh my God, you’re so kind!”Those were the words that spilled out of her mouth, filled with gratitude and surprise. It was the second time within a month that I had been praised for simply being "humane."

While driving towards Lokogoma, my rider politely asked if I could make a quick stop by the roadside at Galadimawa, so she could buy roasted corn and pear. I gladly agreed, not thinking much of it. But as we approached her gate, she turned to me and said, “You’re so patient. Others might have stopped reluctantly, or not at all.” Her words echoed those of another passenger who had also praised my kindness, even going so far as to tip me.

As much as I found their reactions surprising, it made me reflect on how much genuine kindness and human connection have faded in our society. These encounters highlighted the erosion of basic humanity in our interactions with each other. This is not to pass judgment or reach a definitive conclusion, but it does suggest a troubling trend across various aspects of life—we've developed a subtle indifference toward each other.

As an e-hailing driver, I've encountered a wide range of experiences—from passengers faking transfers to extremely unruly behavior, especially from some women. It's easy to become jaded and start to assume the worst in people, projecting negative experiences onto others. But that mindset is both unfair and uncalled for. There are still many kind and respectful people out there. As long as it's safe, it doesn't hurt to take a small detour or be a bit more accommodating during a trip.

I often say that driving on e-hailing platforms is like working in human resources. One minute, you’re a therapist, the next a DJ, a priest, a counselor, or simply a silent observer, depending on the situation. Striking up deep, random conversations with passengers you’ll likely never see again can be surprisingly therapeutic. Once you look past the idea of e-hailing as a "demeaning" job and start seeing it as an opportunity to connect with people and enjoy what you do, the experience becomes much more fulfilling.

I've had countless memorable moments on the road, and the common thread in all of them is simple: a sprinkle of kindness here and there can go a long way in restoring faith in humanity. It doesn’t take much—just a little patience, understanding, and a willingness to go the extra mile. And in a world that often feels disconnected, those small acts of kindness can make all the difference.

Hmmmm!!!
Israel has been shouting about this for the longest time

U mean from Iran?....They only used them in swam attacks to confuse air defense system... which currently Ukraine doesn't have much of. Russia already reverse engineered those & improved on them( part of thier deal with Iran)..They still use better versions for hunting Ukrainian tanks, artillery pieces & isolated air defense system

Very evident especially in Donetsk..
They were able to identify and neutralize heavily camouflaged Ukrainian Tanks.

Apostle Joshua Selman is not just a name but a beacon of light in a world where spiritual guidance is often sought after. Apostle Selman has become a revered figure in the Christian community for his impactful teachings and unwavering faith in God. As we celebrate Apostle Joshua Selman today, it is important to reflect on the profound impact he has had on countless lives through the ministry of Koinonia.

Apostle Selman’s teachings cover a broad range of topics, delivered with a depth and clarity that captivates his listeners. With a profound admiration for Fathers in the faith like; T.L. Osborne, Kenneth E. Hagin, Myles Munroe, Late Arc. Benson Idahosa, Papa Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, Papa Kumuyi etc, little wonder people see him as a Hybrid of these Founding Fathers. One of the most admirable qualities of Apostle Selman is his ability to dissect the Word of God in a way that resonates with people from all walks of life, making complex spiritual concepts accessible and relatable.

For many, including myself, coming across Apostle Joshua Selman and Koinonia has been a turning point in our spiritual journey. In a time marked by uncertainty and spiritual confusion, in a time where Jokers and clowns have brought christianity to disrepute, Apostle Selman’s teachings have provided a source of clarity and inspiration. Through his personal testimonies and profound insights, he has shown that God’s grace is sufficient in times of trial and tribulation.

The story of how I stumbled upon Koinonia and Apostle Selman is one marked by divine providence. In the midst of personal struggles and a deep sense of loss, his messages served as a beacon of hope and renewal. Despite facing hardships and adversity, Apostle Selman’s life stands as a testament to God’s faithfulness and the transformative power of faith.

As I reflect on the impact of Apostle Joshua Selman on my life, I am reminded of the importance of staying rooted in the Word of God and seeking illumination in all aspects of life. His teachings challenge us to rise above our circumstances and tap into the supernatural grace that God offers to those who believe. The message of taking advantage of being in Christ resonates deeply, urging us to embrace the fullness of our identity as children of God.

The resources and materials available through the Koinonia Telegram group are a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. Among the many profound teachings, “How Kings Reign” stands out as a reminder of the divine authority and purpose that God has entrusted to His children.

In conclusion, Apostle Joshua Selman’s ministry is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the enduring impact of God’s grace. As we celebrate his life and legacy, may we continue to draw inspiration from his teachings and strive to walk in the light of God’s truth. The journey towards spiritual enlightenment may be challenging, but with faith as our guide, we can overcome all obstacles and shine brightly in the darkness.
