Atalanta broke Ope Cole's heart on a cold Monday

 

Stay away from sports betting, Oluwa a wa pelu e o. (Photo credit: Google)

I have not seen “Namaste Wahala,” and I might never bother; according to Dipo Ogun, “It’s a complete waste of precious time; I don’t take spoilers, to be honest, but I’ll accept this one, and not bother to watch the movie.

We met to record the latest episodes of the Music, Movies, and Sports podcast; it was fun with the guys as always, oh! Deo Banks is back on the cast list after his hiatus, and trust him and Ope Cole to go through their moments of frustrating bromance… We’re used to them now, so we move.

This post isn’t actually about any of what I’ve said so far; I’ll write about movies I always wanted to see that I haven’t some other time, but today is about something that happened to Ope Cole, if it happened to me, I might faint three times before daybreak.

Yo! I wrote about sports betting and how it should be avoided sometime ago, right? Ope Cole had a running ticket, and his final two games to win almost 500k were Atalanta to beat Salernitana and Bayern Leverkusen to beat Frankfurt, easy games, yh?

I was confident he would bag the ticket; I was already looking forward to sending him account details for my encouragement allowance; Frankfurt needed to prepare for Westham in the second leg of the Europa League semifinal, Atalanta needed to win that game to keep European hopes alive, it was a no-brainer.

I was in my living room, monitoring the games for Ope Cole like it was mine. Bayern Leverkusen didn’t waste time; they scored early to keep hopes alive; at that point, Ope Cole had a cash-out option of 147k; he didn’t take it because it was a rip-off, then we realized Salernitana scored away at Atalanta, the cash-out disappeared.

I was confident he would win the ticket, time flew by wickedly, and with ten minutes remaining, Atalanta continued to trail; trust the silly bookies, they took off the cash-out option, and then Atalanta equalized; I jumped on the call and asked Ope Cole to check the cash-out option, it was 37k, with less than five minutes remaining…

He told me he wouldn’t take the offer, the game ended, and he lost the ticket. I saw him the next day, dude managed to have some fun, but it can’t be me; I don’t have such a level of composure; it was a loss because I’d have taken the 147k cash-out, but someone like Slimee would say never, and I understand.

Stay away from sports betting; that shit kills faster than anything else I know but if you’re booking anything on Bet9ja, kindly send it to me; who knows?

    I had headache for the longest and I slept early but thanks to attending a Naija Pundit event the next day, it helped move on quickly

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
