My Dirty Boxers

Welcome to 2026, I hope it brings us all the best of our heart desires.  That familiar January gragra is in the air; the motivational quotes, the fake discipline, the spiritual enthusiasm that expires by Week Two. But relax, I’m not here to make promises. Not even to myself. I won’t be here as consistently as I should, but I also don’t plan on washing my dirty boxers this year, so by default, I’ll be here more than I was last year. Progress is progress. Let me speak in the language of the streets: “Last year was a rollercoaster.” LOL. Nonsense and Manchester City. Every year is a rollercoaster for you people, as if life ever promised to be a straight road. Even Dangote once burst into tears when Tinubu pressed his neck, so please, who are you again? Welcome to 2026. We will have fun. It will speak better things for me. I will break boundaries, test new waters, and challenge myself more. I will read more books, visit new places, and buy myself a gift every month, because nobody ...

  Y'all have made us proud, thank you and all the best in the semifinals against France. Impossibility is nothing. (Photo credit: Sky Sports) I'll happily ignore the talks about the fact they don’t see themselves as Africans, it’s a victory for the entire continent and wherever you are under the sun, Morocco has qualified for the World Cup semifinals and we’ll gloat about it. England thought it was coming home and has gone home, the top favorites, Brazil has gone home; Spain scored seven times in their World Cup opener and they have gone home, Germany with their fire powers has gone home, Belgium as highly rated as they are have forgotten they went to Qatar, all hail Morocco. For once in the history of African participation at the FIFA World Cup, the continent will have a representative in the semifinal of the World Cup after Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 on Saturday in their quarter-final bout. One or two lessons from yesterday? Yes, please! I learned from Ronaldo’s saga tha...

  Ronaldo somehow entered the conversation yesterday but is it time for both of them to exit the stage? (Photo credit: LV) Omo! If you have followed me a bit or engaged me on certain topics, you’ll know I don’t make absolute statements on some topics. An example is the CR7 – Lionel Messi and Wizkid – Davido debate but the one that happened yesterday left me in no man’s land. Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia yesterday LOL, I know you won’t understand but I kinda lost more than Argentina but let’s leave it that way. Folks were dragging their GOAT after the game but the other guy, the legend of Old Trafford decided to steal the dragging. It’s no longer news that Manchester United have parted ways with Cristiano Ronaldo after his weird interview with Piers Morgan last week; the news is the fact that he managed to enter the scene on the day the entire universe chose to drag Messi and his teammates after their shock loss to Argentina. I will come back to Weezy and OBO another time bu...
