Will the @CAF_Online #WAFCON be played in 2024? That is a big question mark, as I write in my ‘Moving the Goalposts’ piece for the @guardian .

Africa’s female players are excelling: no Wafcon in 2024 would be a travesty

African women’s football has the world’s attention but this year’s continental competition is in danger of being cancelled

If he were still alive, Rashidi Yekini, the @NGSuperEagles all-time leading scorer and one of the greatest players to come out of Africa, would have been 55 today. I took these pictures in 2005, during an exclusive interview for @FIFAcom Magazine, in Abeokuta.

Dear @BBCAfrica Disinformation Team, you say there is no evidence that @officialABAT forged his @ChicagoState certificate. But the deposition in which CSU testified was very clear - that the certificate Tinubu presented to @inecnigeria was not one issued by CSU. Are you now…

@GaryLineker Are you really surprised, Gary? The fact that @SuellaBraverman is an ethnic minority makes her the right poster woman for this racist, xenophobic campaign of the @Conservatives government, headed by an ethnic minority @RishiSunak .

This is the @BBCNews interview that my friend and colleague, @okwoche , had with the @inecnigeria chairman, Professor Mahmud Yakubu, before #NigeriaDecides2023 . How many of the promises made in this interview were kept by him and INEC? Posterity is going to be extremely harsh…

So, @CAF_Online is determined to go ahead with the @CAFCLCC #CAFCL final between @AlAhly & @WACofficiel at the Mohammed V stadium in #Casablanca , despite all things pointing to a fiasco there. We wait for 30th May. It will be a day of infamy, worse than that of Rades in 2019.😐

. @LeodegarTenga would have made a great @CAF_Online President - a former @yangasc1935 & #Tanzania player, university-educated, with an engineering degree & former CEO of @LandRover Tanzania, he had the qualities. #African #football made a very big mistake not valuing this man…

If anybody comes and tells me that @BukayoSaka87 is not a #Nigerian , because he chose @England over the @NGSuperEagles , I will fight the person. There is no greater commitment to #Nigeria than what I am seeing here. What a kind, caring, decent young man!

In #Algiers , I took a ride with a @CAF_Online exco member to the @NelsonMandela Stadium, during the #U17AFCON . (Don’t ask me whom - you know I won’t tell you. 😃) He told me this story, about what happened at an exco meeting in 2022, between Patrice Motsepe, the CAF President…

Ethnic bias resides in hidden places. In a conversation on #Nigeria , a friend I regard as urbane, said “Never trust an #Igbo man with money.” I was quite shocked & told him that was a terrible thing to say. If he can think that, Nigeria has a long way to go. Very long! Hmm…

@DavidHundeyin Did you become a journalist to be respected, praised and admired? 😋😂 Let me tell you this, as one who has gone before you - a thorough journalist, who looks under the rug, to critically examine and expose the dirt swept under it, is destined to have a very hard life. 😄 As

@ChifeDr The fear of @PeterObi , as a man that could be a pan-Nigerian president, working for the benefit of all its people, is very real. And the current political class is ready to do anything to stop him. Nigerians must be ready to resist them, at all cost.

What will @clattenburg1975 , the head of the @EFA ’s Referees Commission, do about Referee Ibrahim Nour El Din, who is just as controversial in #Egypt as he is in @CAFCLCC matches? Surely, he is taking note of his performance in #Tunis ?

I have no doubt, in my mind, that #Nigeria is yet to confront the #Igbo Question. Nigeria will never move forward, as a country, until we do. And bear this in mind - the Igbo question is not just about the Igbos, but about 2 things: WHAT IS NIGERIA? And WHO IS A NIGERIAN?

@BettyIrabor Please don’t turn your back on him. He must have assumed that the anonymous email and call were part of a scam to get money that he doesn’t have. You might be unearthing a diamond employee. See how he performs at an interview.
