• Samuel Eto'o : "I remember that day well. I entered the hall and saw him sitting very calmly. I approached him and said, "Leo, why did you come? You know that the Ballon d'Or will not be yours this year." He looked at me with that humility that never leaves him and said, "Sami, football is not just about me. It is about everyone who loves this game. If I am only going to support my teammates when I win, then what kind of leader am I?" A lesson in morals. The man knew the result in advance and still came to congratulate the winner. He did not make a fuss, he did not complain, he just shook hands with everyone with a smile. This is not ordinary humility. This is a true understanding of the meaning of greatness. Why do his opponents respect him? He praises his rivals publicly. He used to say about Ronaldo, "This monster makes me better." He does not belittle the achievements of others, even when he loses. He treats everyone with the same respect, whether they are stars or young players. At that moment, I understood why the whole universe loves Messi. He does not play to be compared to anyone."

  • Nigeria’s coach Justin Madugu says his team thrashed Zambia because they didn’t pack the bus like others did in the group stage.

    ”In the previous games we played, the opposition decided to pack the bus and play a low block and that made it difficult for us to be able to play the kind of football that people expected .”

  • One time, I was missing my aunt who had relocated out of the country and so I changed my DP to her picture and even forgot about it.

    Few days later, I got a message in my inbox

    "Hey beautiful"

    Beautiful ke, me. Nobody has ever called me beautiful before. Handsome yes but beautiful ke.

    "Are you their my queens?"

    WTF is this

    Me, queens, if it's queen sef e for better... I quickly went and checked the profile of the confused person

    Lo and behold, a full grown adult married man

    I was raised right so I replied respectfully, "Good afternoon sir"

    "You are very good my angle, if it's other girls they no greet. you're so beautiful my love."

    "Thank you sir"

    "I love you"

    "Just like that?"

    "You are too beautiful. I can't felt this way for anybody before"

    "What about your wife sir?" I asked while trying hard to understand the English.

    "Forget about it. I and my wife have not se.x for two years."

    "Why sir?"

    "Forget about it. I want you when can we see."

    I scratched my beards for a minute, then I replied

    "When do you want to see me?"

    "Come tomorrow."

    "Ah, so fast"

    "Please send me your body, I'm very hot for you."

    "I should send you my body?"

    "Yes any one. Se.x one"

    "Oh, you mean se9xy one?"

    "Yes, s.ex one send brea.st send back. please I'll do anything my angle"

    Pause» you can add me Bcdblog for more stories and updates and to be notified when we post

    I wanted to in.s.ul.t and block him. So, this is what girls are facing from men online. As a sharp guy I decided to monetize this lucrative opportunity at least I fit see money for fuel

    I typed, "look sir, I've never done something like this before so if you want me to send you my b.oo.bs and a.ss, I need some compensation."

    "I will do anything my angle."

    "100k is not bad sir"

    "Don't worry when you come I will give more but for now manage 10k."

    "Okay sir send it to my Opay account." I didn't want to even negotiate before he will change his mind. Let him just send this one so I can block him

    I quickly sent my account number

    10k alert

    "Have you see it my queens"

    "Not yet my boo, I've not seen anything. Are you sure you have sent it darling?"

    "I have, check now."

    "Baby, I've still not seen it. Sometimes network will cause a glitch in the transformer in the cloud and the process will be so slow u will be issued false receipt."

    "My angle, you are so smart unlike my wife but I no understand all this big big grammar."

    Men that use angle instead of angel, gosh, I ha.ted him more. So I decided to push my luck

    "Maybe you should send it again because I'm already nak.ed and even want to do video for u before my battery goes off."

    "Ahhh video yes send video I will send it back now my angle.

    Alert

    100k

    I shouted Jesus!!!

    My wife ran in from inside, "babe what happened, what is it honey?"

    I said, "Goalllll, Nigeria has scored Arsenal!"

    My wife doesn't know anything about football so I can say anything and she will buy it

    "Nigeria and Arsenal are playing?" She asked

    I said, "yes, yes ooo, my queen and love, yes."

    "Who scored?"

    "Dwayne Johnson"

    "But is that why you're shouting, please lower your voice." She hissed and went back in.

    I checked my msg and saw almost 20 messages from baba

    I opened it, baba was begging me to send the money back that he made a mistake and sent 100k instead of 10k

    Immediately I blocked him

    I entered my room, raised my voice and shouted, The Emperor, the conqueror, the champion, the Lion is here!!!

    Then I told my wife to dress up cos I want to sp.oil her si.lly.

    African jokes and stories

  • 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 Blame 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲 & 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘆𝗼 𝗢 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘆𝗼 For Their Defeat To Nigeria

    Zambian people have blamed their Loss to the Nigerian Female team on Juju and they have dragged "INNOCENT" Nollywood Legends, Pete Edochie and Kanayo O Kanayo into their banter

    Due to the kind of hype the Zambian people had given their female team on social media, they were over confident that the match against the most decorated African women's Team, the 'super Falcons of Nigeria' would be a Walk in the park.

    They boasted heavily on social media on how they were going to beat the Nigerian team. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the other way round.

    NIGERIA baptized them with goals and made their women eat grass for 90 minutes it was a full goalazo . Goals were flying in from different angles and neither their Midfielders nor defenders could stop it. Not even their striker, Barbra Banda who happened to be the reigning African Female Footballer Of The Year could record a shot at the Nigerian goalpost 🙆🏾‍♂️

    Their goal keeper wasn't a saint 3ither. She could neither catch, Jump or dive Mama Amaka did not want to stress herself at all. Even their coach ran out of formation because obviously, her 3-2-1-4 was obviously not working 🫣

    Now they are blaming their inability to score on juju. They blamed it Kanayo O Kanayo's recent Visit to their country

    Moral Lesson: Nigeria will humble You

  • Meet the Indian national team that beat Nigeria 99-1

    Did India Really Beat Nigeria 99–1? Let’s Set the Record Straight.

    If you grew up in Nigeria, chances are you’ve heard this wild tale that India beat Nigeria 99–1, and every time our goalkeeper tried to catch the ball, it turned into a lion !

    It sounded unbelievable, that story really took some us on a wild journey through our imaginations.

    Here’s the truth:

    There’s no official record from FIFA, CAF, or the Nigeria Football Federation of such a match ever taking place.
    India and Nigeria have never played against each other in any international competition during that era.
    A scoreline like 99–1 is practically impossible under normal football rules.
    And no, the ball never turned into a lion.

    So, where did this myth come from?

  • Jurgen Klopp : " When I see some young players today playing with luxury cars and wild parties, it reminds me of how special Messi is, not just as a player, but as a human being in an era where everyone brags about their wealth and extravagant lives. Messi chose tranquility, family, and hard work. We have never seen him have suspicious parties, no photos in nightclubs, no arrogance, just football, a small family, charitable work, and focusing on football. His only appearances are on the field, then he disappears like a ghost. Off the field, he lives a simple family life. The greatest player in history celebrates his birthday with his wife and children in peace and quiet. He has everything, but lives as if he has nothing. This is true professionalism in an age where everyone is looking for fame. Messi taught us that true greatness doesn't need noise. Titles speak for him, not his parties. A message to young people: "If you want to learn from anyone, let it be Messi's morals, not just his talent. Talent may succeed, but morals build an immortal legacy for decades to come " When asked about the meaning of true professionalism, the answer will always be, "Look at Messi."

  • Pff, this testimony from ADRIANO about his life and career is incredibly powerful:

    “I know what it feels like to be a promise, and also a broken one. I am the biggest waste in football.

    I like that word: ‘waste,’ because I’m obsessed with wasting my life. I’m okay with it, in a frenzied waste, I enjoy that stigma.

    I don’t do drugs, like they try to claim. I don’t like crime, even though I could’ve gone down that road. I don’t go to clubs. I always go to the same place in my neighborhood. I drink every other day, yeah. And on the other days too. I drink because it’s not easy being a promise that’s still in debt.

    They call me ‘The Emperor.’ A guy who left the favela to earn the nickname Emperor in Europe. How do you explain that? I still haven’t figured it out. Maybe I did get a few things right.

    One of the things that surprised me most when I moved to Europe was how quiet the streets were. People don’t greet each other. Everyone keeps their distance. My first Christmas in Milan was really hard. The end of the year is a very important time for my family. We gather everyone.

    When I joined Inter, I got hit hard that first winter. Christmas came and I was alone in my apartment. It’s so cold in Milan. That depression that creeps in during those cold months in northern Italy. Everyone dressed in dark clothes. Empty streets. The days are really short. The air is damp. I didn’t feel like doing anything. All of this mixed with homesickness and I felt like crap.

    Seedorf was an amazing friend—he and his wife made dinner and invited me over. It was all really nice and delicious, but the truth is I just wanted to be in Rio de Janeiro. I didn’t even stay long with them. I apologized, said goodbye quickly, and went back to my apartment. I called home. ‘Hi, mom. Merry Christmas,’ I said. ‘My son! I miss you. Merry Christmas. Everyone’s here, you’re the only one missing,’ she replied.

    You could hear the laughter in the background. The loud sound of drums my aunts play to remember the days when they were little girls. I could picture the whole scene just from the sounds on the phone. Damn, I started crying right away.

    I cried so much. ‘It’s okay, mom. Enjoy. Have a nice dinner. Don’t worry, everything’s fine here.’ I was destroyed. I grabbed a bottle of vodka. Drank all that crap alone. Cried the whole night. Passed out on the couch because I drank too much and cried.

    I tried to do what they wanted. I negotiated with Roberto Mancini. I tried really hard with José Mourinho. I cried on Moratti’s shoulder. But I couldn’t do what they asked of me. I stayed clean for a few weeks, avoided alcohol, trained like a horse, but there was always a relapse. Over and over again. Everyone criticized me. I couldn’t take it anymore.

    People said a lot of crap because they were all ashamed. ‘Wow, Adriano gave up seven million euros. He gave up everything for this nonsense?’ That’s what I heard the most. But they don’t know why I did it. I did it because I wasn’t okay. I needed my space to do what I wanted to do.

    All I’m looking for in Vila Cruzeiro is peace. Here I walk barefoot and shirtless, just wearing shorts. I play dominoes, sit in the street, remember my childhood, listen to music, dance with my friends, and sleep on the floor. I just want to be at peace and remember who I am.

    Here they truly respect me. I see my father in every one of these alleys. Vila Cruzeiro isn’t the best place in the world, it’s my place.”
