Right then time for a game of who's who. A NUFC thread that may help to clarify something......so is our guy a Shiekh, a Fake Shiekh, a royal or what? I think I know where some of the confusion lies.........
So the Sheikh Khalid interested in NUFC is NOT this gentleman en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_bi…

He is the brother of Man City's owner. 100% Abu Dhabi royal and in the ruling family. But not our guy. Note the name differs slightly......
THIS is the Shiekh Khalid interested in NUFC binzayed.com/chairman'sprof…

Chairman of the Bin Zayed group who are very much Dubai based. He is distantly related to the ruling family as far as I am led to understand. Let's use cousin as a western noun that makes sense......
He is distant enough so there is no issue over conflict of interest regarding family ownership of premier league clubs. He is nowhere near as wealthy. He is still worth more than we can probably imagine and far more than Mr Ashley......
However if terms have been agreed and we are now in that final dance then proof of funds is the next key though to get access to the data room as it were he would have already had to show some proof of funds (I seem to recall 100m being the magic number) ....
So now it's over to the finance guys. His MD has already said next announcement is from the finance group. I've written something for @MsiDouglas that should be out today to expand on some of my thoughts but I thought I needed to do this. It's not uncommon to struggle with names
Out here. I have a patient who always insists I call him Ibrahim. He is a Saudi and royal. He has about 12 names. None of them are actually Ibrahim 🤷‍♂️ but that is really not uncommon, for example. But let's be patient and clear up facts where we can. Yes they failed in a bid
For Liverpool at 2BILLION over prood of funds. But in reality was it a) ever for sale b) if it was an Arab national didn't allegedly suit the sellers and c) it involved hedge fund input and Chinese money which is far far more complex than any deal for NUFC would be.

So you’ve found that bae of life & you're ready to take the next step. There’s nothing we love more than love but there are health questions you both have to answer before making a lifelong commitment.

Here's a #thread of 5 important steps you must have before marriage.
Since you’re getting married, your future decisions will now be taken for two and you have to take both you and your partner’s health seriously.

Unfortunately, many people let love blind them to serious sexual and reproductive health issues that can become problematic later.
So before going on to start a family, the following are tests you need to take before getting hitched.

Kayode chased me out of our home.

Three years of marriage with two beautiful daughters to show for it, and he chased me.

Chased me like a thief that I was not, chased me like an unfaithful wife that I was not, he chased me..

out and brought in another woman.

Now barely two years after, he is here, on his knees, before my family and our kids, begging for me to take him back.

As I stared at him in his burgundy long sleeved kafan and polished black shoes, pleading on his knees before my father and
mother,with nothing but emptiness in my heart,the memories of the pain he put me through,the embarrassment,the heart break, the agony flowed back into my head,fresh as if it were yesterday..

"Wumni please forgive me,” he said, turning towards me, “Please forgive and forget..”

A #thread about what has and has not worked for me since launching my first startup in Feb 2002 with my brother, striking some big deals, raising capital, losing money and rebuilding.

I hope you find it thought-provoking
We built some hype around @realvibez with our branded car, sponsoring events like Stages, ATI, Blink and Reggae Sumfest but we also knew that we had to be authentic - the website actually had to have the content on it
We did not want sugar-coated B.S. interviews so we focused on cold, hard truths when I asked questions.

Hence why I asked Collie Buddz about racism in this interview -

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."
