Every year, skills of playing football improve, and so do the rules and the technical issues involved with football. In the past, there was nothing like the back-pass rule, no such thing as Vice Assistant Referee (VAR), and other amazing and unique technology that goes with football today. But one thing that is common in all the ages football has lasted is that physical energy has been involved in playing it. Acquiring and improving skills for playing football have involved physical strength or energy. If you cannot acquire and improve your skills in football, then you can't play football, especially on a professional level. And for you to acquire and improve football skills you need to have enough strength and/or energy, if not, forget football.

Between 2030 and 2050 if the world is still in existence, the strength and skills to play football will be improved. That will be the focal point of football. This time, it will not be acquired through physical strength or energy, but through a high level of advanced technology. This means that the means of winning football will no longer be based on how skillful one is or how energetic, but based on the level of technology the football club was able to acquire for the team. There will be a manufacture of high-level tech football boots that will enable players to play extraordinarily. The high-level tech football boots will enable players to exercise different kinds and levels of football skills in order to win or defeat their opponent. For goalkeepers, there will be a high-level tech football hand glove that can magnet and attract football to their hand glove. The high-level tech football boots will focus on enabling players to alter the technological ability of their opponent. Countering opponent football skills ability and making it possible to score goals even with a goalkeeper with high-level tech hand glove mounting goal post. The high-level tech football glove will enable goalkeepers to catch the football in an amazing and almost unbelievable way. It will enable goalkeepers to demonstrate unbelievable skills in keeping football. It will then be the higher the technology a football team has, the more they win matches, cups, remain popular, and make more money. This means that even the ball for playing football will change.


Even though it may retain its shape and size, It will, however, be enhanced technologically to fit with the modern high-level tech football gadgets used in playing it.


The high-level tech football boots and hand gloves will do the following:
1. It will enable footballers to play extraordinarily. Exhibiting different kinds of unbelievable football skills.
2. It will help footballers counter the skills of their opponent. Making it possible to collect football from their opponents' legs.
3. Since there is a goalkeeper with a high-level tech football hand glove mounting the goal post, another work of the high tech football boots will be to enable footballers to score such a goalkeeper, irrespective of his high technological football hand glove.
4. The high-level tech football hand glove will enable goalkeepers to catch footballs unbelievably. It will make it very difficult for players to score them. The tech will make it possible for them to be able to magnet football to their hand gloves, dive, and stretch beyond normal and exhibit many other unbelievable football-keeping skills.


This means that the technical department of each football club has a lot to do to enhance players' football boots and goalkeepers’ hand gloves. Both to make players play, defend and score unbelievably, and the goalkeepers to keep unbelievably, and as well as counter the technological playing and keeping skills of their opponents.

Those who cannot afford this high-level tech of football gadgets will continue playing traditional football that requires physical strength or energy to play, but spectators who are now technologically minded will not bother paying to watch. There will be campaigns condemning the new technological way of playing football and proposing that football should go back to its traditional way of playing it. This means that traditional football will become a mere local exercise and entertainment for the poor without generating financial fortune. The campaign will base its argument on the fact that body exercise which keeps footballers physically fit has been distorted or eradicated. But many people will not pay attention or give regard to this campaign. They will rather see it as a noise of babblers who are poor and lack the money it takes to acquire the high-level tech of football gadgets to be able to fit in into the modern system of football.

It is funny, this idea just bumped into my mind. The picture was clear and glary. Should I call this prediction or prophecy, I don’t know and am not certain because I can’t categorically say God spoke to me on this or revealed it to me. It is not as a result of malaria either because I was medically okay, and certainly not because I was under the influence of alcohol or weed for I neither drink nor smoke. It is just an idea in a creative mind. What do you think of this? Do you think it is possible? Do you think it will come to pass? Or is God actually the one revealing this to me? These are rhetorical questions that cannot be answered, maybe not yet.

Africa is unique and is the center of attraction. Civilization has been argued to have started in Africa (Egypt). Some research has tried to prove that every man and even existence itself started in Africa.

The possibility of the above assertions, especially of civilization starting from Africa are very much significant. This is because God used Joseph of old to secure numerous stores of food in Egypt during the time severe famine (hunger and great lack of food and water) hit the then world. People from all over the world came to Egypt to buy food in order to survive the famine. Many more had to come and live in Egypt, and Joseph seized the moment to make wealth for Egypt and thereby empower her to become the world power and the wealthiest. When the people's money finished, they used their livestock, lands, and other valuables as collateral for food. When all they had got exhausted, they used themselves as collateral for food, thereby enslaving themselves to the Pharaoh of Egypt for food.

Since people from all over the world were in Egypt working for food, their knowledge, ideas, and wisdom demonstrated in skills and intellect developed Africa (Egypt) and led to the beginning of civilization in Africa, to the point that the first writing, known as "Cuneiform" was first seen in Egypt. I was proud to read this knowing that I am an African, especially a Nigerian, a popular nation in Africa once known as the giant of Africa.

But how are the mighty falling! After the fall of Egypt (Africa) and the takeover of Rome (White), African countries were partitioned and colonized. Nigeria was colonized by the British, but not until 1st October 1960 when the true forefathers and heroes of Nigeria fought warlessly for the independence of Nigeria. We became free and became a Republic Nation in 1963. The past leaders of Nigeria made education for her citizens a priority, good and free. They begged and encouraged our fathers (present leaders) to go to school for free. They made the school environment conducive, attractive, and appealing to them, and made sure that a good job will be waiting for them upon graduation from standard six.

Today, these fathers who enjoyed good, conducive, and free education have made education bad, unconducive, and costly for us. These fathers who were given jobs at the platter of gold now fail to create for and give jobs to graduates of not just from standard six, but from the university. Rather, they have mortgaged jobs and make them for sale, so that upon graduation, you will have to pay a huge amount of money to secure government jobs, which are meant to be the citizens' rights. These fathers who were given the leadership of the nation on a clean, good and conducive environment while they were young have made leadership a tussle and a talk of war; a do or die affair, and unreachable to the young citizens of the nation.

our leaders told us to go to school and argued that education is the key to success in life. But, unfortunately, we went to school, got the key, but they changed the padlock, and denied us access to success. The painful thing is that we did not enjoy free education as they did. We did not live in free hostels and have our government feed us morning, afternoon, and night like they enjoyed. And after we have spent a huge amount of money, time, and stressful energy to acquire education, they deny us our citizen's rights (good jobs and a better life), and rather, they are telling us to go back to learn a trade and go back to farming. So that, our certificate, the money, time, and energy spent to acquire it becomes a waste.

In short, our present fathers, who are our leaders and supposed heroes, have failed us. Therefore, the future is in our hands- the young generation to determine what becomes of it and that of our children. It is in our hands to restore the quality, good, and value of our education system by studying hard, allowing good education to pass through us, and not just passing through education. Let's end the generation where education is bought instead of earned through hard and studious life. Let's end the era of job mortgaging, the era of political/leadership corruption, the acquisition of positions via bribery instead of through hard work and merit, etc., by being a good example to others now and in the future. Let's end the era of making Nigeria a nation for the political elites alone, and unconducive for the general public and the youth in particular. A situation where a graduate who has not been allowed to work with/for his/her nation for once, in order to earn a living will be required to have 3 to 10 years experience on the job he/she is seeking before it is given to him/her. Using the so-called years' of experience as one of the strategies to deny citizens the jobs they deserve. How can we be asked to have 3 to 10 years' experience in a job we have never been allowed to do to gather the experience?

To the youths/young generation, we have come up not to join the corrupt system, or be engulfed in tribal and/or religious ill-sentiments, but to set a good example, make a change, and liberate our nation from the pit of a political, economic, and corrupt lacuna, among others. Soon the young people will become one of the leaders of this great nation. In any capacity and level of leadership positions, you will find yourself, don't forget to make a positive change. Do not toa the path of selfish, greedy, and corrupt leaders, rather, be unique just like the once unique Africa as a whole and Nigeria in particular. Do not soil your hands with the blood of the innocent for power, wealth, and quest for political glory. Do not forget to make and leave an indelible landmark that posterity will remember, and thank you for.

God bless Nigeria, God bless Africa.

In the past, man has always embraced religion. He had seen and taken it as the most important thing or part of life, which determines other areas of his life. Most men in the past who embraced religion did it in honesty and sincerity. But at a point insincerity came in, so that men hide under religion to exploit others. Some used the name of religion to enslave, confuse, deceive, and even kill their fellow human beings. At this point also, religion was strongly interwoven with politics, there was no separation or distance from both. So that the religious leaders or elites were also the political leaders or elites. With religion, men claim the possession of the spiritual and/or supernatural powers, and with the same religion, they hijack or possess political powers.

However, a time came when a group of men rose and questioned lots of things about religion. They question what religious leaders told them that religion and the gods of the religion or behind the religion demands that they do. These groups of men were able to convince a multitude of people in their time to buy this idea of questioning religion and religious leaders. They resolved to find things out themselves instead of asking religion and relying on religion through its custodians all the time. With these, men develop the hunger to find things out themselves and solve their problems outside religion. Anything that man cannot understand or solve he calls it mystery and terms it impossible and attributes it to nature. Since men can now solve certain things without asking or depending on religion and their custodians, they call it, "The age or period of Enlightenment," and at this age or period, a phenomenon called "Science" was born. Fulfilling the words of prophet Daniel "...many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased" (Daniel 12:4). This hunger to be free from religion and religious leaders helped men to discover lots of things for themselves and solve lots of problems, and the process these problems were solved was referred to by man as "Science." This also helped men to make life easier and comfortable for themselves to a certain extent or degree. Science conquered religion to an extent and brought about the independence of politics from religion. Freedom of thought, desire, and actions were born.

These, however, were still not enough to solve the problems of the world. It was not without disadvantages. Questioning religion and religious leaders, especially false religion and religious leaders, grew to question God Himself. Men came to psych the brains of others by trying to convince them of how evil, bad, inhuman, and unreasonable religion and belief in it is. Using the wickedness of most men in the cause of religious histories, and its errors these sets tried to prove and convince others how wicked and inhuman God is, and how to believe in Him is unreasonable since He is the originator of religion. All the wickedness of men and the evil unsearchable hearts of men, especially those done in the name of religion, was blamed on God. It grew to the point where a group of men believed that they believe that there is no God. And the same they teach others, especially, the younger generations. What they can't do or undo, they attribute to the Universe. Instead of submitting to God, and acknowledging Him and their belief that He is, they rather call it the Universe and teach their children likewise.

The errors of religion, however, have been man's effort to find God on his own, through his own means, and with human understanding. This led man to begin to imagine vain things, and try to imagine what God is or looks like. To quench this hunger, the man began to make himself gods of different forms and shapes, as his eyes see and his mind imagines. With these, man created for himself lots of religion and religious beliefs until he got confused and lost in religion and/or religious activities. Though man became so religious and even a religious being himself, he, however, lost the nature of God. The man became very religious, but void of virtues, godliness, and divinity. The man began to covet the position and power of God. He saw himself as God and others his subjects, servants, and even slaves. This imagination made man unkind, inhuman, and brutal to his fellow human beings. The man began to enslave others and extort from his fellow man, the man became extremely wicked and continued to kill one another.

Men became too religious without practicing the true religion. And by doing so, they brought a bad name to true religion. Men introduced so many practices, dogma and rituals, interwoven in culture, and forced it on religion in the name of God and used them to control others, influence their mindsets and actions. When people look at the errors men infuse in religion and look at the wickedness and inhuman behavior of most religious people, they conclude that all religions are bad, and are the problem of the world. And since God is the author of religion, so to say, it is either He is bad, evil, and wicked, or He is just a myth, who does not exist.

It has, however, been the plan of God right from the fall of man to reveal Himself again to mankind. To correct the religious confusion of man, and call him back to the True Religion, the essence of human life. God came down in the form of a man in order to find man, identify with him, reveal Himself to man, and call him to the knowledge of the Truth. Sadly enough, men have continually denied God and rejected His offer of salvation, even though some have put up the form of religion in an ungodliness. This gave rise to three different types of people:
1. Men who are religious, but deny the power and the person of God.
2. Men who use the wickedness of religious people as excuses to reject God, abuse Him and true believers in Him, make a mockery of His sacred things, and use it as a medium of introducing their evil, demonic or selfish ambitions and ideas to the minds of men. So that by discrediting God using the wickedness of men who profess religion as evidence, they will promote their evil agendas.
3. Men who have seen the Truth, accept, believe, and follow Him.

Men agitated against religion, they fought it and propagated freedom from it. Saw it as their problems and the cause of the lack of development, and/or advancement. Religion is to some an opium to the world. The cause of laziness, idleness, lack, and poverty. They rather submit to Science and technology, believing, hoping, and even trusting their true freedom and help will come from them. Instead of gaining a solution from science and technology, men were plagued with deeper problems of war and massive killing, and waste of valuable properties. Men lost their freedom and rights to their fellow men. A few groups of men hijacked the world, its power, riches, and freedom at the expense of a greater number who became slaves and lost their rights, riches, and freedom in the hands of these microscopic few. Science and technology liberated politics from religion and empowered it to enslave, extort from, and execute mankind at will. With this, a few became very strong, rich, and powerful and the majority became very weak, poor, and powerless. This shows that, though man-made religions have been the problem of the world, however, the problems science and technology with politics have caused men since its takeover, are immeasurable as compared to man-made religions. Hence, the problem of the world is not (true) religion, but man-made religions and the knowledge men have acquired for themselves (science and technology), and how they have used this knowledge over time.

True religion is not ascertained by the act of men because men are always limited in knowledge, but by the act of God because God is Omniscience, just, and perfect in everything. True religion is both vertical and horizontal. That is, being in a good and right relationship with God and man. Reverencing God, acknowledging Him as our Maker, and living according to His commands (holy living) is the right vertical nature of true religion. And being at sincere peace with fellow men, visiting and/or helping the poor, needy, widows, orphans, etc with gifts, and not oppressing them or depriving them of their rights is the horizontal nature of true religion.

The problem of men is that they rejected God and made themselves gods and religions. Religion is man's effort to seek, find, and worship a supernatural being he considers a god. He convinces himself of what the god is or is like, what he/she wants and how to appease him/her. All these religions are bad because they are manmade. This was why God ended all religions on the cross where Jesus died and called it "Time of ignorance." And through Jesus Christ, God gave to man, not just a religion as a secular mind will call it, but a heavenly culture- a way of life, which is True Christianity. The Christian Faith in its real sense is not a religion, but a way of life. It entails the lifestyle and teachings of the Trinity in the Person of Christ Jesus, brought to mankind from God through the Person of Christ. Christian Faith is the will of God in heaven which is to be done on earth, hence, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." It is not religious, but worship and an intimate relationship with God. Selfish, hypocritical, immoral, and dubious actions in/with religion are void of Christianity, therefore, not Christian Faith. Christian Faith promotes positive development and advancement. It encourages hard work, innovation, and invention, as well as morality, holiness, and righteousness. It makes a man heavenly (God) minded and earthly relevant and/or useful.

Religions have actually caused harm to the world, and have given birth to other phenomena, such as politics, science, and technology, and philosophy, which though have contributed positively to the world, have at the same time caused lots of harm to the world. But God who came seeking for man and reveals Himself for man has given man a way of life, a culture, call it religion if you like. This way of life absolutely has no harm to man or his world. It is entirely to God's glory and the blessedness of man. Quit insulting God because of the evil and wickedness of men and the erroneous religions they established for themselves. God loves and cares for you far much more than you can do yourself.
