Former Super Eagles and current Enyimba striker, Brown Ideye don come outside dey blast Enyimba of Aba say: Enyimba no be football club o. In fact Enyimba dey operate like mechanic shop wey dey treat players like apprentice wey dey learn work. Because tell me why this club go dey give professional football 7,000 naira every match day for food. I mean, if we travel for away match, instead of make the club lodge us for correct hotel wey go serve us correct food, dem go carry us go lodge for bacha give us 7k per day for feeding morning afternoon and night. Na so whenever we wan chop we go begin find Iya Bashira bukka to chop. Many of these players get family for house o, so instead of to chop well dem go rather buy amala or okele, some go chop rice without meat. Some go even drink garri so that dem go take the money wey remain back home as wetin dem bring come. And na only 2 days dem dey give us that 7k o. If dem give us on Friday and Saturday wey we get away match, from Sunday wey we dey return back to Aba, nothing for us. Our match bonus na 15k per match for players wey play the match. Others na 5k, but na for end of season dem dey pay match bonus make e look big for our eyes. My brother players dey suffer o. Players dey suffer well well. Especially for me wey don play Europe see how dem dey treat footballers there. Imagine enter bus from Aba to Kano on Friday and you get match on Saturday. No be tired legs you go take play that ball? My people how una see this casting wey Ideye cast Enyimba so?

Hunger visits everyday so take your hustle seriously, like the saying goes, no food for lazy man.

BELIEVE ME ! YOU ARE RICHLY BLESSED. ' YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER. " ' Richness is not measured by the amount of money or number of property you have but by the number of people you are able to touch or inspire with the little you have or your words of encouragement " It really perturbs me when I see some people classifying themselves as poor and as a result, will not have something to offer to the next person you are better off with. No matter your condition, there are people you are better off. Out of the little you have, endeavour to use it to put smiles to the next person. If you have a loaf of bread , share it with someone . If you have ' used " clothes / wears /cars ,etc. don't throw it away , somebody elsewhere may need it. If you have wisdom or acquired excess education, utilize it well , encourage and inspire others and educate the less privileged ones. Your left over foods could be repackaged for other peoples consumption. Don't throw away foods. Learn to give out. The rewards for almsgiving is uncountable. You may not know when, where and how the reward will come. Finally, don't expose or broadcast your charity to attract unnecessary ego. Never expect reward for your kind gesture rather do more and more to touch lives. Just look around you, and listen to yourself , You will see reasons to touch a life Life is worth living Touch a life today, you will be glad you did. BE RICHLY INSPIRED THANKS , Okwara, Louis Ifeanyi

Our Food Stocks Will be Completely Exhausted This Month Because We no Longer Have Funding — UN Announces Suspension of Assistance for Nigerians in North-East

Half of all food produced in Nigeria every year doesn't make it off the farm because of simple issues like lack of rural roads for quick evacuation and lack of storage and refrigeration equipment. Question: So if you want to DOUBLE the amount of food available in Nigerian markets every year and drastically cut food inflation, what should you invest in? Answer by Bill Gates-funded idiots: "Genetically modified seeds." In addition to being greedy, grasping, worthless people, you people are also VERY STUPID, and I will be here to always remind you that you lack neural activity upstairs. You have to be a different kind of stupid to not see and understand where your problem actually lies, just because a white man wafted some dollars under your nose.

By the grace of God, Obidients will always respond to every misinformation adequately. Wike said Peter Obi didn't serve food as a sitting governor This is Peter Obi serving his quest year ago as a sitting governor Was he campaigning for president then?, Wike said he did now because it is election period Wike is just throwing everything from his kitchen sink at Peter Obi out of envy. In his heart of heart, he knows PO is a true humble wealthy personality

ResistanceTrench mirror: 🇺🇸🇹🇳 US Representative in Shock! The Tunisian President's Sarcastic Welcome to Trump's Envoy with Images of Hungry Children in Gaza! Qias Saied the President of Tunisia, while showing images of hungry children in Gaza, said to the US envoy: These images depict a crime against humanity; is this the international law? Laws that are collapsing more and more every day. Such a concept no longer has any meaning. Five people were killed in Israel’s air strike on a house in Tal Alhawa in Gaza City. Among them were a pregnant mother. The fetus came out of its mother’s belly. An Iranian Navy helicopter has intercepted the US destroyer USS Fitzgerald in the Sea of Oman, issuing warning signals and ultimately forcing the American vessel to alter its course southward. 🇮🇱⚡️ Elderly Israeli Woman Arrested for Alleged Plot to Assassinate Netanyahu An Israeli woman in her 70s has been arrested by Shin Bet and police over an alleged plan to assassinate Netanyahu. Authorities say she discussed acquiring weapons and even considered using explosives. Reportedly terminally ill, she allegedly stated she wanted to "take Bibi with her." She was later released under restrictive conditions, including a ban on approaching government institutions or Netanyahu. 🇮🇱⚡️A suspected ramming attack occurred today at the Beit Lid junction on Route 57, near the town of Kfar Yona in central Israel, Occupied Palestine. A vehicle plowed into a bus stop, injuring 7 settlers — 2 in moderate condition and 5 with minor injuries. The driver fled the scene on foot, abandoning a white Toyota. Zionist security forces have launched a manhunt, deploying helicopters, canine units, and roadblocks. 🇮🇱⚡️🇵🇸 Sam Rose, UNRWA’s acting director in Gaza, told Channel 4 the reason aid isn’t getting in is simple: “Nothing gets into Gaza without the say-so of the Israeli authorities. UNRWA has 6,000 trucks of aid ready—enough food for everyone for 3 months—but Israel is not permitting to bring any of those supplies in.” Even when trucks make it across, UN staff “can only go to the border area with the explicit approval of the Israeli authorities,” who, Rose notes, are currently bombing the very areas where most UN capacity is based—Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. 🔴 Footage of targeting enemy soldiers and vehicles in Jabalia City, northern Gaza Strip. As part of the “David’s Stones” operation series 🔸 2025/06/12 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Merkava tank with an explosive device on the beachfront, using a booby-trapped vehicle. 🔸 2025/07/03 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Zionist force fortified in a house using a 107mm rocket. 🔸 2025/07/04 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Zionist force with a booby-trapped vehicle. The enemy acknowledged the killing of a soldier. 🔸 2025/07/16 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting and killing a Zionist soldier in the Yassamin 105 area using a sniper. 🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️🇵🇸 A Former U.S Military Veteran and Security Contractor for U.S.-funded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF): “In all my military service, I have never seen such use of force against unarmed civilians.” The 25-year veteran described witnessing brutal crowd control tactics, including the use of stun grenades and pepper spray on desperate civilians. One of the most disturbing incidents he recalled involved a Palestinian woman: “A woman was hit directly in the chest with a stun grenade. She collapsed instantly. I thought she was dead.” In another case, a man bending down to pick up spilled food was pepper-sprayed: “That’s lethal. That’s not crowd control — that’s cruelty,” he said. He also confirmed that guards routinely fired live rounds at the ground near civilians to intimidate them after they received aid: “They weren’t a threat. It was cowardly. You can’t fix this… it has to stop.”

THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT- RECORDS AT STAKE Daniel Breakforth The Ark Legacy Project is set to be the largest indoor and roofed Church structure in history. The Ark legacy project is coming up in its best form and shape. The Ark is a spiritual surgical theatre for millions of lives and has kept many factories, construction companies, food and beverage companies, etc active for over 4 straight years. The Ark (66,753 Sqm) will be 3 times the size of St Peters Basilica (22, 000 Sqm) Vatican City and over 2 times the size of Our Lady of Peace Basilica (30, 000 Sqm) Presently.... 1,500 to 2000 workers work on 24 hour shifts 7 days a week at the site. It's main bowl will be larger (109,000) than all but one stadium in the world-The Rungrado Stadium, North Korea (114,000). It has more toilets (1, 200) than all but one stadium-Wembley Stadium (1, 643) It has bigger total capacity air conditioners than every indoor Church building in the world. It can contain more people than any indoor Church building in the world when all spaces are packed (200,000) It's overflow facility (Faith Tabernacle) was formerly the largest church auditorium in the world (50, 000 capacity) It will have more lifts, escalators and elevators than any building in the world. When size is juxtaposed with time, the Ark is possibly the fastest building ever built in Africa. Faith Tabernacle, also in Canaanland, Ota which is actually the fastest comes second when size is considered. The Ark is being built without a single bank facility, loan or foreign aid. Videos and pictures do not do justice to the sight of the Ark Project. If you love God and his Church and you visit the Ark, you will be awed, overwhelmed and filled with joy and gladness seeing the visible Hand of God at work. However if you hate the Church and you visit the Ark, you will be filled with sorrow, anger, sadness, bile, grief, hunger, desire to become a factory worker etc. You will also lose your sense of reasoning and start demanding from the Church instead of your government for your sustenance. #ChurchGist
