Former @AFCAjax & @juventusfc player SundayOOliseh, the ex-@NGSuperEagles defender and captain, says in his autobiography, “Audacity to Refuse”, that former #Belgium @BelRedDevils captain, Eric Gerets (pictured), treated him and @V_Ikpeba with disdain, often making a mockery of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
According to @SundayOOliseh, it got to a stage that he & @V_Ikpeba had to stand up for themselves, after yet another league defeat and Gerets began to abuse them again.

You can read the book excerpts below to read what happened.

Racism in #Belgian football has been going on… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
This was Gerets reaction, to the refusal of Oliseh and Ikpeba to be bullied further by him:

“Shocked at our audacity to refuse his abuse, he took it personally and REPEATED (emphasis mine) his favourite statement that would this time exhaust the last remnant of our respect for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
A colleague in London, whom I won’t name, as it’s a private convo, saw this thread and said this to me:

“I'm sure Sunday is right. Gerets was a racist and a bully. But he has been dying the most awful of slow deaths for over 10 years now, since the brain haemorrhage that turned… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Breaking: The return #AFCON 2024 qualifier between the @AmavubiStars and #Benin’s Cheetahs, scheduled for Monday 27th March, hangs in the balance, over a venue dispute.
@RChipenda, @CAF_Online’s Development Director, told @FERWAFA that as a result of inadequate facilities at the venue chosen in Rwanda for the return leg, the Amavubi will have to play their return leg game in Cotonou on Monday.
But rather than wait in Cotonou to play the return leg, as @CAF_Online instructed, the @AmavubiStars returned to Kigali, after the 1-1 draw in the first game played.

On 14th March, in #Kigali, #Rwanda, @MosengoOmba, the General Secretary of @CAF_Online, called me a “mercenaire” (mercenary) because of my journalism, which criticises, FACTUALLY, what is going wrong in CAF. I am going to ask him who the real mercenary in African football is.
For the first time in the history of @CAF_Online, we have a General Secretary that is NOT the LEGAL national of any African country. Yes, he is of #DRC descent. But he has no legal citizenship of any country in #Africa. I will explain…
Under the laws of the Democratic Republic of Congo, dual nationality is strictly forbidden by law. Once you take up the nationality of another country, you CANNOT be a national of DRC. @MosengoOmba is a citizen of #Switzerland, and lost his DRC nationality, as a result.

A history lesson for the people of #Lagos, as taught by Oba Rilwan Akiolu, about how Lagos came to be. Pay attention!
Oba Akiolu: “Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos.”
Read the FULL statement of Oba Akiolu here ⬇️. No one should argue, ever again, that the Edo people founded Lagos. So when I am told, by SOME so-called Lagosians, to “go back to Edo State”, because I support @PeterObi, my soon-to-be president, y’all know where to go! 🖕🏾😂

An informed fan of @SheffieldUnited says @Dozymmobuosi is about to be named as the new owner of the club. “Announcement imminent”, he says. Hmmmmm.
I have just spoken with a colleague that spent two hours with Dozy at a London hotel last week. He says he is yet to be convinced by the defence that Dozy gave to him.
I also understand that the @EFL is yet to clear Dozy. But that Trevor Birch gave him a comfort statement that he has been using to push the narrative that the EFL has cleared him. I understand that as at last week, they needed him to offer proof of funds...

It’s a big shame that #Rwanda, a smaller and far less resourced country than #Nigeria @Nigeria, the so-called “giant of Africa” 😂😏 has better, more sophisticated security checks at their major airport. I’ll explain…
Before getting to the main #Kigali airport terminal, the major security checks are done. Cars taking passengers to the airport are put through an automatic car scanner, while the driver of the car and passengers go through their own checks, within the same zone.
After the driver and passengers go through the body scanners and metal detectors, they wait for the car to come through the automated 🚗 scanner. If it’s ‘clean’, it rolls through and the driver and passenger(s) get in and drive to the terminal…

A life lesson: About a week and half ago, at @PrinceEbeano supermarket in Lekki, I picked this up during my shop. It cost just over 4k Naija. Instead of putting in my shopping basket, I put it in my pocket & forgot it was there… Image
I paid for everything else I picked up, except the key holder. When I went back to shop today & bought yet more stuff, I took a replica key-holder to the cashier & told them to use the barcode to charge me for the key-holder I took last time and didn’t pay for. She did just that.
I could have gotten away with not paying for it. But I can’t live with taking something I didn’t pay for. Integrity is what you exercise when no one is looking and when you can do something wrong and get away with it, with no consequences.
