Yes, must.

Ironbull:
Wallahi we must beat South Africa I don't just ever be in the same page with South Africa since I left the country some years back. I'm standing with Siper Eagle 100% on this game.

I'm not looking for easy win but no matter how hard they tends to be we must beat them to keep their mouths shut.

HERE COMES HISTORY.

Burnaboy's boy tonight 1st ever African artist to be performing at the Grammy live, not thru online, will be huge. It will re- introduce Afrobeat to the American/ world audience who hasn't been paying attention to the sound. It will bring in new listeners to Afrobeat and expand it more . This shows that Burnaboy is now the ambassador of Afrobeat as he is the headliner. This is history in the making and its not a small achievements for the man who calls himself the 'Odogwu'. Burnaboy should be proud of where he is at the moment - now listed as A - class with the best of the best in the world .

Congratulations to him for this feat alone . He no easy . It was a long time coming . Let no one tell you this is small. It isn't. This is history happening before your very eyes, and when the story of how Afrobeat became the genre of the world , this man was instrumental to it. Give him his 💐.

Mali played possessive football with no purpose. Cote D'Ivoire were poor, extremely poor. Some have applauded them for their resilience despite being a man down but they didn't ask themselves how poorly they played when they had 11 players for 43'.

Cote D'Ivoire did not enter Mali's box 18 until after 35' and there was no red card then. That team is poor, very poor. They are one of the worst 5 in this tournament but they have made it to the semis so 'koko won ti ye' so far.

Mali deserve to lose and I am very happy they are out. They had no mission.

South Africa is our next opponent and we shall beat them. We won't have to go for extra time before beating them. The 1996 AFCON they won on home ground was because Nigeria was banned from participating. The 1994 Super Eagles were way above all other African teams as at that time and I was sad because of the ban. This time around, these Eagles who most of us including myself didn't believe in but who have shown commitment and excellent team work will devour them.

It was good that Lukman scored again. That will give their manager more reason to worry. Lukman will have to be marked, Osimhen too but how do you mark two attackers when the man of the match in our last game isn't any of the two? Simon must be checked too and that's where the Bafana Bafana manager will have a problem, a very big one at that. I'm not cajoling my readers or hallucinating, a coach who doesn't take this into consideration will lose before the game starts. It is also good that they stretched themselves for 130' in their match last night.

The only man Nigeria shouldn't allow to shoot from distance is Mokeana. Williams will concede goals against Nigeria. Those Cape Verde penalty takers were naive, it's the first time the team played penalty shootout. Overall, we will find it easier against RSA than against Angola in our last game.

That cup will come to Nigeria. Oluwa gba ope wa.

The story that birth this Yorùbá proverb.

“BÍ ONÍRÈSÉ BÁ KỌ̀ TÓ LÓHUN Ò FÍNGBÁ MỌ́, ÈYÍ TÓ FÍN SÍLẸ̀ KÒ LE È PARUN LÁÉLÁÉ."

Before Ọ̀yọ́ became what we know today as Ọ̀yọ́ Atiba.

It was known as Ọ̀YỌ́-ILÉ which historians referred to as the Old Ọ̀yọ́ Empire.

That was the era when the Aláàfin had the autonomous power and was referred as “Aláṣẹ ìkejì Òrìṣà (the 2nd in command to the Òrìṣà).

There was an absolute power the Aláàfin weilded all over Yorùbá Kingdom.

The powers can only be checked by the Ọ̀yọ́mèsì, for the purpose of check and balance.

Behind the Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́'s Palace in the ancient days were rows of stalls where wood and calabash carvers known as ONÍRÈSÉ engaged in their craft work.

ONÍRÈSÉ as earlier said literally means CALABASH CARVERS but among these carvers, one was soecs specially nicknamed ONÍRÈSÉ.

He was a divinely gifted Carver.

During his birth, an Ifá priest who was consulted by his parents informed that the new born baby will be a great leader.

And one day, he will find himself in a strange land across the ocean among the white people.

But he must not engage in any work than the carving business. The Aláàfin, his chiefs, kings from neighbouring town and all traditional worshippers were all customers to this young man.

His work was second to none in the entire Yorùbá land.

One day, some Europeans who had come to Ọ̀yọ́ for tourism and to study the monarchical system of Of the Ọ̀yó̩ Empire stumbled into the stall of ONÍRÈSÉ and they were completely amazed by the excellent craft works done by him.

After everything said and done, ONÍRÈSÉ found himself in an exhibition in Switzerland where his work became the best among others.

ONÍRÈSÉ spent thirteen years touring different parts of Europe with the help of a European lady who had become his close associate.

After tying the knot with this lady after an exhibition in a small town in Sweden, ONÍRÈSÉ decided to return home with his new bride for proper African traditional wedding.
The entire Ọ̀yọ́ township and its environ were filled to the brim with people who had come to witness this very rare marriage.

It was a showcase of pure African tradition and the Europeans that witnessed the occasion were fully entertained.

After the wedding rites, they bestowed the title of Baale ÌRÈSÉ to ONÍRÈSÉ for the great honour he brought to Ọ̀yọ́ kingdom.

With the new title and responsibility, the Alaafin believed that the white woman would not take the great man back to her strange land again.

At this period back home, ONÍRÈSÉ Desisted from making calabash again rather he focused on other lucrative businesses and the governing of his little area.

His old customers who were highly placed all over the Yorùbá Kingdom approached him to carve calabashes for them but he refused bluntly, encouraging them to patronize his kinsmen who are still into the business.

This attitude annoyed some prominent chiefs in Ọ̀yọ́ and they reported him to the Aláàfin, saying the man had become so arrogant and disrespectful.

They wanted the Aláàfin to give him a marching order to continue with the carving skill.

The Aláàfin in his wisdom replied thus; Ẹ̀yin Ọ̀yọ́mèsì, BÍ ONÍRÈSÉ BÁ KỌ̀ TÓ LÓHUN Ò FÍNGBÁ MỌ́, ÈYÍ TÓ FÍN SÍLẸ̀ KÒ LE È PARUN LÁÉLÁÉ."

This simply means; If ONÍRÈSÉ, the calabash carver insists that he will no longer carve calabash again, the ones he had made in the past can not extinct.

Composed. Confident. Pragmatic. Precise. Determined. Decisive. Team Work.

Ekong, as the heart of the defence and captain of the team, was in full control of that defense. He made an interception immediately after our first goal and that interception in our 18 yard box was as vital as the goal. He was flawless.

Ola Aina and Bassey on Ekong's right and left were accurate in their tackles. They protected the goalkeeper and he had no shot to safe.

Apart from Iwobi who specialized in giving wrong passes, the midfield was unruffle.

Ademola, the son of Lookman poached the first goal after Osimhen had given his life to wrestle the ball from a Cameroonian defender who shouldn't have a problem with the ball but because the African best was close to him.

From the blast of the Victor Osimhen had shown that he was out for business. Simon was making his runs on the flank and he didn't let the Cameroonian full back breathe.

Eto'o, former Chelsea striker started with a bright laugh but ended with a cry. We love Eto'o Fils but we love Nigeria more.

Congratulations, good people of this great nation.

Dear Soccer gods,

Nigerians are happy. They need this joy sustained. Epp our soccer team this to know. Aseeee

It's just a goal up but Victor Osimhen has been a thorn in their flesh. I love that assist!

My first half major worry is Zaidu Sanusi. He is kil**ling the attack flow and in defence, he appears not so confident.
😠 🙄😡

Reno Omokri as talked about this extensively. He even advised Nigerians to dump MTN for Glo, drop Foreign cars for Innosson and other Nigeria manufactured ones

He was the main cause of all these issues. I am 100% against godfatherism but it requires wisdom and accurate timing to fight as a god son. It was just way too early for him. The only few people on his side are the internet warriors. The real politics is onground and he doesn't stand a chance.

He hasn't even bought over loyalist before he embarked on this journey. The way almost all the commissioners resigned coupled with how the majority of the house didn't support him shows he's fighting a lost battle. This is not an election that the masses can decide what happens, this is a real intra party political wahala.

“We received no less than 8,373 applications within the first 48 hours of opening the portal. That was impressive!

Seeing the picture of this maize make me remember when I was still lil, we called that kind of Maize Witch Maize

In Defense of The Lion.
------------------------

A rejoinder to a post by Dr. Obinna Aligwekwe.

I read a lot of lion bashing on Obinna's wall this morning. Evidently, the lion's domineering, and merciless predation in the wild has earned it lots of hatred from both humans and animals alike

I think the Lion is a king, but what is contentious is whether it is that of the jungle, or the grassland, and Lions live in grasslands.

Dr Obinna Aligwekwe is right that its appearance may have been responsible in deferring that regal claims to it. He is also right that one-on-one, a full grown male or female tiger will kill a full grown male or female lion.

The Tiger has the second strongest bite force among all the big cats after the Jaguar, but also the Tiger is heavier and bigger. A Tiger's paw packs enough strength that it can crack the skulls of some animals.

Relative to its size, the jaguar has the most powerful bite of big cats, registering at 1,500 PSI. But a close second is the tiger, the largest wild cat in the world, with a bite force of 1,050 PSI.

Talking of the jungle I will give it to the Gorilla. It lives in the jungle and it has a kingdom and is so strong that it can tear a lion apart and with a single well positioned strike can kill a lion without biting, but if it chooses to bite, its bite force is so strong that the hyenas and the bear can't dare 1,300 PSI of biting power, the gorilla has one of the most powerful bites.

He is however wrong in claiming that a Tiger's roar is louder than that of the Lion.

A lion's roar changes the dynamics of the wild, if God's favour smiles on you when you are on the Safari and you have the privilege to hear it, then you're blessed in this life. It is a great privilege I have enjoyed thrice and I am grateful for that.

Nothing in creation is like it. Every living thing takes notice even the giant Elephants and the king of the waters, Hippopotamus and Crocs because the wave transmits the message even to the depths of the waters. It simply says that if you can hear me, you are automatically under my jurisdiction.

Lions have a much louder roar than Tigers. Their roar can be heard up to 8 kilometers away and can be nearly as loud as thunder, while a Tigers roar can be heard from nearly 3 kilometers away, still loud but not as loud as a lion.

A Lions roar has inspired car exhaust pipe engineers of supercars to try and imitate that inimitable sound. When it roars every animal in the wild, big or small calls for a strategy section.

The roar of a Lion is so loud it can be heard up to 8 kilometers away and reaches 114 decibels at a distance of around one meter. I know many of you may not grasp this because of its technicality, but to break it down, the human pain threshold is at around 110 decibels.

What this means is that if you are standing too close to a roaring lion, it could cause you physical pain making all hairs in your body stand straight.

I do not know why Lions were created differently from other cats in that they are the only cats, big or small that is social, and live together. But that uniqueness is not only in their physical appearance (Mane), it is also manifest in their roaring.

Unlike other big cats, when a lion roars, air from its lungs is pushed through the larynx and over the vocal folds. The square shape of the vocal folds helps maintain a larger surface area for vibration.

This increased surface area allows for more significant vocal fold vibrations. It also effectively stabilizes the vocal folds, enabling them to vibrate in a controlled and consistent manner. As a result, lions can produce powerful sound waves without needing to exert excessive force on their lungs.

Because they are real estate moguls, they use their roars to announce that trespassers will be prosecuted. So if you are a Lion, and you hear the roar of another lion loud and clear, it is like that Chinese compound word Wei Ji which means crisis and opportunity, because you may be intruding into a territory of a stronger competitor that may destroy you, but if you know your onions, you may get a prime real estate after a life threatening battle. So the choice is yours; fight or flight.

It is all the times that roaring ends in a battle, female lions use it to search for missing cubs, to coordinate the pride, and also send messages for hunting strategies.

Another very important use of roaring is in mating. It can be deployed as sex calls especially with some prides of female only lions without a male. When the females are ready for mating, and their cubs are old enough not to fall victims of infanticide, they use roaring to assess potential mates.

Like all animals (except unfortunately humans) , lionesses are extremely selective when it comes to mating, they do not get carried away by anything, and nothing can go wrong.

Their eyes hardly leaves the ball because they know the great importance of what they are about to embark on, because it is the business of their future generation they are about. Thus a destiny fulfilling journey.

That’s why when a Lion makes a mating roar; they will carefully dissect that sound. A Lion’s roar is like an acoustic DNA test, in that sound is his age, size, strength, testosterone level, physical built, good looks, or ugly, and also ability to father, raise, and defend the females and the cubs in times of trouble.

Any changes in the frequency, duration, or tone of their vocalizations can signal potential health issues, stress, or discomfort, so females do not take chances in this area, and for most female animals, there are no rooms for a one night stand, except ofcourse the Bonobos that use sex to settle quarrels.

Female lions respond positively to only the roars that meet their expectations, and when the Lion appears, if by any chance what they ordered is not what was delivered, they will never allow him to mount, but if their lives are in danger, they play the game, and flush out the sperm before conception. It is serious business.

And because a pride is made up mostly of sisters from same mother, or first cousins, they do not mind in sharing a single male (where available males are two or three) that has all the qualities they want.

Roars are unique to each lion, that’s why prides can use it to echolocate missing members, or returnee fathers. Roaring can also indicate dominance, submission, territorial disputes, or even mating behaviors.

Lions run highly sophisticated community systems, closer to and in some areas more advanced than some human societies (lol).

But a Tiger doesn't have a kingdom, and you cannot be king without a kingdom, and lion has a Pride it rules over.

This is why they call it King. Not because of its own strength but the collective strength of its kingdom.

It runs one of the most strategically organised, and highly sustainable systems in the animal kingdom.

The young man ruling Burkina Faso can beat Joe Biden one-on-one. But New York City (LGA) Police Department is stronger than entire Burkinabe armed forces.

That is why the Lion is King.
