Brazil will win the World Cup

 

I am standing with Brazil, they will win the World Cup. I said what I said. (Photo credit: Joy)

The 2022 FIFA World Cup starts today and I will not be shifting grounds for non-football followers on my readers’ list. Y’all know I have tried and should indulge me today; if you don’t read it because you see it’s about football, God will judge you.

You heard it first from me, France will not win the World Cup. In fact, France will have an underwhelming tournament, if you have placed your money on them as the gambler that you are, your money will burn because they will not go far. I have warned you.

Neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi will the World Cup, all of you can rest now and let your respective GOATs rest. I stand with both of them actually; I strongly believe two kings can coexist and if I have a gun to my head to choose between them, you already know my pick.

Moving on to greater things, the World Cup is spiritual. It happens once in four years and it’s probably the biggest football stage in the world. You see players throwing parties when they found out they will be part of the tournament; it was a surreal feeling when announcements were made.



Back to my predictions, I am supporting three countries and one of them will win it. I have two outsiders due to sentiments, Switzerland for my guy Granit Xhaka and Senegal as a proud African but with Sadio Mane ruled out, I don’t think any African side will make it past the group stage. Ghana must not advance and this has nothing to do with bad belle. Partey must return to Arsenal in one piece.

I will be supporting England because it’s a country close to my heart. My family is almost turning British Lol and of course, I am an Arsenal fan. I am rooting for God’s child Bukayo Saka, Iron bender Ben White and my flying bird Aaron Ramsdale, good luck Lions.

I am also rooting for my second country, The Netherlands. If you know anything about me at all you will know I have a deep relationship with this country and my name is Kluivert. I don’t have an Arsenal player in the Dutch squad but I am still supporting them. Good luck Oranje.



Brazil will win the World Cup, you heard it first here. I am rooting for Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and the Samba boys as a group. I believe they have a complete squad and will go all the way. Who will stop them? Who can? Who fit? Nobody. Sell your house and stake in it.

I will watch lots of the games, maybe not live but I’ll catch up when I can. I should write about my first World Cup experience; I will in the coming days. It’s football season and y’all should expect more football-related stories. Let the games begin.

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
