Why Nigeria is not the worst country in the world — Reno Omokri

The controversial writer and activist, Reno Omokri cite the crisis in Ukraine and Sudan as he states why Nigeria is not the worst country in the world. Amidst the effort to evacuate stranded Nigerians in Sudan, the activist stirred reactions on social media with a notion to correct a stereotype about Nigeria. reno omokri According to Reno Omokri, when crises faced Nigerians in Ukraine, Sudan, and South Africa, the default option was to return home for safety. He argued that despite the claimed greener pasture outside Nigeria, it comes with just as many unforeseen issues. In his words … “Before we open our mouths to run down Nigeria and call or the worst country in the world (it is not), let us learn from the Sudan crisis. With war raging in Sudan, what happened to Nigerians who had japa’ed to Sudan? They are all trying to come home. When war hit Ukraine, what happened to Nigerians there? They were airlifted back home. When the xenophobic attacks erupted in South Africa, Nigerians were begging to be airlifted back home. Why? Because not all that glitters is gold. And not every house is as good as your home. May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians!” he added.

FIFA said in a statement; “FIFA has decided, due to the current circumstances, to remove Indonesia as the host of the U-20 World Cup 2023. “A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged. Potential sanctions against the PSSI may also be decided at a later stage.”

Indonesia stripped of Under-20 World Cup hosting rights

The loss of hosting rights will be a big setback in Indonesia, where football has a massive following, despite the lack of international success since qualifying for the 1938 World Cup as the Dutch East Indies. Earlier this month, protesters marched in the capital Jakarta waving Indonesian and Palestinian flags and demanding Israel not be allowed to participate. Indonesia’s population is predominantly Muslim. Earlier this week, the PSSI said losing hosting rights would harm the Indonesian football team’s chances of taking part in other FIFA tournaments, while the economic losses would amount to “trillions of rupiah”.

French footballer, Randal Kolo Muani has said that he might never get over the opportunity he missed to put France ahead during the last minutes of the World Cup final loss to Argentina in December 2022. Kolo Muani says he's still haunted by miss during World Cup final between France and Argentina With the two teams tied at 3-3 and the second half of extra time nearing its end, Kolo Muani got an opportunity to give France a big win during the thrilling encounter, but his effort was knocked off by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Eintracht Frankfurt star who sat for an interview with beIN Sports, said; “I still watch it, I know it off by heart. In my head, I said to myself: ‘Randal, you have to shoot now’. I tried to shoot towards the near post but the goalkeeper made a very good save. But there were other options. Kolo Muani says he's still haunted by miss during World Cup final between France and Argentina “I could have lobbed him, or find Kylian Mbappe [to the left]. But in the moment, I didn’t see him. It’s only when you watch back that you discover the other options. It’s too late. It still sticks in my throat and it’ll be there for life.” Martinez’s save ensured the final went on to a penalty shootout, which Argentina won. Although Kolo Muani converted his spot kick, it was not enough to keep France in contention as the South American side went on to win 4-2.

Recall that Martinez had defended his mind games after the final which Argentina won. He said at the time; “It’s a moment that I always have to give to my teammates, they scored three goals against me and it hurt, but then I did everything right. It was a game of suffering, just two efforts against us and they drew level with us. “It is in this moment that I have to give my teammates peace of mind. I could have stopped it [Mbappe’s penalty] too, I dived badly. But then I did everything right. I have no words for it. “I was calm during the penalty shootout and everything went as we wanted. All that I have dreamed of has been achieved. To my family, I came from a very humble place, I left when I was very young to England and I want to dedicate it to them.”

Martinez’s antics also attracted criticism from Arsenal legend, Ian Wright. He alleged that the goalkeeper “crossed the line”. Speaking to Ringer’s FC podcast three days after the final, Wright said; “I look at Emi Martinez, remember the s***housery with Auba [Martinez tried to put off Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when he stepped up to take a penalty against Aston Villa in October 2021] and all that stuff he was doing at Arsenal. “I was thinking this guy is going to go to another level of s***housery if this final goes to penalties. And he did. I like Emi but what he did in the penalty shootout crossed the line, in respect of sportsmanship. He crossed the line.” Football lawmakers are now set to ban goalkeepers from distracting penalty-takers. According to The Sun, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) is set to introduce new rules to ban keepers from acting in a way that puts off opponents from the spot.

IFAB’s new rules may also stop goalkeepers from dancing or making amusing gestures on the goal line as that is also seen as a distraction. The new penalty rules will be ratified at IFAB’s annual general meeting in March before they are officially introduced into the laws of the game.

“Regé won because of his classically beautiful face and gorgeous brown eyes. He had easily the highest score for his eye spacing and the positioning of his eyes also scored highly. His perfectly shaped lips also scored highly and the only mark he got that was slightly lower was for his nose width and length.”, he said.
