Not like I care but please pray for Chelsea

  Chelsea football club is in trouble, they're going back to the trenches and I love to see it, but please pray for them. (Photo credit: @CFC) So last night was crazy, unfortunately I can’t write about it. I know how crazy Twitter is and how one error can ruin lots, fan base of one of the lost “blindly loved” celebrities descended on one of my loves and I have to take full responsibility, it was my fault. There’s a reason I can’t write about it, in fact there’s no ginger to write today so I’ll just talk about what is happening to Chelsea and the noisy fans. While I don’t want politics in football, I’m happy that these “agberos” will be humbled. Chelsea learned on Thursday that their owner, Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK government following the global clampdown on Russian Oligarchs, thereby freezing his assets including the London club.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a very emotional speech earlier today, trying to sound brave but fear was written all over him, he remains adamant that the West aren’t doing enough to help but the trajectory is scary and now I’m worried.

  Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is crying over the silence of world powers in the wake of the Russian invasion, what was he expecting? May God end this war ASAP. Dear God, it's not like I'm telling you what to do, but please end this crisis in Ukraine ASAP, na beg I dey beg, thank you boss. To every conflict, there’s always something to listen to from both warring parties. The brewing war in Ukraine didn’t start today and while the journalism available to most Nigerians on CNN is somewhat biased, running with the “ Putin is evil ” mantra might be unfair. Everyone is talking about the situation in Ukraine, of course except your “slay mammas” and “woke papas” who litter status updates with memes and hide under cruise to join bandwagons, they clearly don’t understand what’s going on so they’re sitting this one out, yes I’m dragging you. The war is here already because Russia already encroached and as at the time of penning this piece, the Russian troops are approach...
