The "GOAT" Conquered France, Italy and now Turkey. Osimhen

Former French Economy Minister Thierry Breton said:

"It was Emmanuel Macron's stupidity that opened the eyes of Africans. One thing is certain if France loses its colonies our children and grandchildren will go to Africa in search of their livelihoods. Immigration will change direction. Macron needs to go or France will suffer. Europe need to unite to fight this new African vision Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and other countries will follow suit. If one of the puschists' heads falls, the others will abandon the vision. Africa has no history therefore, cannot run the world.”

*This is a big slap on us Africans*

*Our leaders should wake up now*

*Please spread*

* About Ancelotti's coaching staff for the Brazil national team:*

• Davide Ancelotti (his son) and the Italian Francesco Mauri remain as assistants.

• Mino Fulco, Ancelotti's son-in-law, should also be part of the group, as assistant and physical trainer.

• Another name suggested is that of the Italian Simone Montanaro, a performance analyst who accompanied Ancelotti in his last 3 jobs (Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid).

• There will be discussion about the inclusion of Brazilians in the coaching staff.Carlo Ancelotti wants Kaká on his coaching staff for the Brazilian national team. The coach has reportedly already spoken to kaka.

The technical committee be defined at the meeting between Ancelotti, Rodrigo Caetano and Juan this Thursday.

DID YOU KNOW! 🇲🇫 France holds the world’s fourth-largest gold reserve, with 2,436 tons stored in the Banque de France, yet the country has no active gold mines. In contrast, Mali, one of the top global gold producers with 14 official mines, has zero tons of gold reserves in the Central Bank of West African States. Similarly, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), ranked as the seventh-largest gold producer, reportedly has no gold reserves in its central bank, some sources estimate a mere 0.16 tons.

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋:

Fabrizio Romano has revealed why English clubs — including Manchester United and Chelsea — are not moving for Victor Osimhen at the moment:

> "He wants the same salary (€12m net) he's earning at Napoli, plus commissions and his €75m release clause. No English club is ready to pay him €12m."

Admin Sam : Let me just say it straight — this is total nonsense.
Some of you are even saying "it's too much"? Really? €12m net per year (around £250k a week) is too much for a striker who has delivered 30+ goals a season, twice?

Let’s talk facts

Some Highest-Paid Strikers in Europe (Per Year):

1. Erling Haaland – £27m

2. Robert Lewandowski – £24m

3. Harry Kane – £23m

4. Kylian Mbappé – £22.5m

5. Dušan Vlahović – £20m

6. Lautaro Martínez – £16.7m

7. Karim Benzema – £16m (before leaving Real Madrid)

8. Mohamed Salah – £14.3m

9. Marcus Rashford – £15m
...

And you are telling me €12m for Osimhen is too much?

Is it because he's African?

Because how is a striker, who carried Napoli to their first Serie A title in 30 years, bro has rained goals since he was 17 at the world cup, delivered goals in Belgium, France, Italy and now Turkey still being questioned?

Some fans say he’s "not EPL-tested."
Was Manchester City's Erling Haaland EPL-tested before earning his wages? No.
Was Dušan Vlahović EPL-tested before Juventus paid him big money? No.

Put some respect on Victor Osimhen’s name.

THE CLEAR MESSAGE FROM TRUMP




God has blessed your country. Go back and hold your corrupt leaders accountable. Stop loitering the streets of America.



If Americans were docile and refused to initiate Revolution, then you would never see such an amazing nation like USA.



If France kept mum in 1775, you wouldn't see a developed nation like France.



If you like, keep playing tribal politics in suffering while your ruling class loot with reckless abandon.



Stop depending on WHO for subsidized drugs. At your age, you ought to have home-made drugs for common ailments. On that ground, America has left WHO.



Go and hold your ruling class accountable for rots in health care delivery. When they are sick, they run to USA for treatment with your national resources.



Keep playing tribal politics but get out of USA. If you're ready, you will take over your country from destiny destroying ruling class as the did in France.



All decent nations have accurate population index. Even in hell fire, God has a record of those in it. America belongs to Americans not indians, Nigerians, Chinese, Mexicans, and other nationals who want good life and escaped to USA.



We fought for liberty and advancement. Keep quiet and wait for angels to repair your bad roads. Remain dumb as ministers, Governors, commissioners, etc loot in trillions.




Return to your country and change the narratives. No more running to America with your heavily pregnant wives. You want them to give birth in America and automatically become citizens of America. That is revoked immediately.



The message is clear. Let it sink into the skulls of all those who desire a new Nigeria.
