This is the road from #Rabat to #Marrakech in #Maroc #Morocco, a 319km journey, similar in distance from Lagos to Benin. But the difference in the quality of the roads is night and day. World-class in Maroc. #Nigeria? Jankara roads. Shame on us! 😐🥲

It’s just before 8am in #Casablanca, #Maroc. This is the weather. And has been the weather, since I came here a week ago. It’s a complete contrast to the lovely weather in July. Please CAF Online, never stage another #AFCON in North Africa in winter! 🫤

But for the decision of Burkinabe referee Vincent Kabore to point to the penalty spot, after a VAR review, the Uganda Cranes would have been eliminated from the #TotaEnergiesCHAN2024. Is it a surprise that they are kissing the VAR machine, in profound gratitude? 😂

Can someone explain to me what happened here, in Rabat, during the #U17AFCON trophy and medal giving ceremony? 🤔

And for those looking for when Motsepe told me to “Keep Quiet”, for having the audacity to ask him what was the “nonsense” he claimed I said, here it is…

Chinua Achebe, being interviewed, in 1964, by Professor Wole Soyinka and South African Lewis Nkosi. We need to treasure our records…

#AFCON2025FINAL winning coach Pape Thiaw will not speak to the world’s media, after winning the trophy 🏆. He was hounded out of the room by journalists from #Morocco. I have never seen this type of thing at an #AFCON. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Ugly scenes in the press conference room, as journalists from #Morocco boo Pape Thiaw, #Senegal’s #AFCON2025 trophy 🏆 winning coach. This is shameful. Very shameful. This should not happen, no matter what happened on the field. Thiaw walked out. We don’t know what happens now.

.Eleni Giokos Ελένη Γιώκου of CNN asks CAF Online President Patrice Motsepe whether he intends to become President of #SouthAfrica. This is what Motsepe told her…

One thing one must give to the North Africans - their passion for club football is unparalleled in the continent. #CAFCCFINAL

I wanted #Nigeria to win, of course. But I know how desperate #Morocco are, to end 50 years of #AFCON hurt. I can’t say I am sad to see them happy. Sportsmanship, in defeat, is fundamental to sport. I hope they win the #AFCON. Good luck, #Maroc!

How well did Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 interact with Bola Ahmed Tinubu in #SouthAfrica?

I have long known that SAFA.net, under Danny Jordaan, is a mess. But for this to happen at an NEC meeting? For how long is this show of shame in #SouthAfrica’s ⚽️ going to continue? Standard Bank ZA just signed on as a main sponsor, only to see this? 🤦🏾‍♂️

What do I think of the decision of ⁦CAF Online⁩ to strip #Senegal of the 2025 #AFCON title? I tell the ⁦talkSPORT⁩ gang of Jim White, Simon Jordan and Danny Murphy. Have a listen…

This is what Eric Chelle, the 🇳🇬 Super Eagles head coach, had to say about the argument between Ademola Lookman &amp; Victor Osimhen, before Victor Osimhen was substituted, during their #AFCON2025 Rof16 game against #Mozambique, which they won 4-0.

I asked 🇳🇬 Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle if the 2-0 win over #Algeria in the #AFCON2025 quarter-final in Marrakech is his team’s best performance since he took over the team in January 2025. This is what he had to say to me…

.Ashleigh Plumptre OON admits, after winning the 🏆, that the #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024 has “been draining”… She tells me why she thinks she has such a connection with NGSuper_Falcons fans in #Nigeria.

Is this not Amaju Melvin Pinnick, admitting that he imposed a player on Gernot Rohr, ahead of the 2018 #FIFAWorldCup? He called it using his ‘slot’ as NFF President. And people wonder why I will always be against this man.

This is the state of Admiralty Way on Saturday morning, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, PhD of LAWMA. Please do your job and end this long-standing eyesore and health hazard. The video, and my commentary, says the rest. cc: Tokunbo Wahab &amp; Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

I was asked by Sam Washington of Sky News what I thought of the racist abuse of Real Madrid C.F.’s Vini Jr., during their UEFA Champions League game against SL Benfica. This is what I had to say…

These words of unvarnished truth from the late Nigerian Bar Association President and ONDO STATE GOVERNMENT Governor Akeredolu are evergreen. Look at how Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai reacted…
