See what Lionel Messi said after win against Bolivia

 See what Lionel Messi said after the Captain  led Argentina to only their 2nd ever win against Bolivia on their home ground in 47 years:


Inequality is one of the great problems of our society and we must fight to correct it as soon as possible. It is key, for those who need it most, to preserve water, electricity and basic food in this situation. The glasses that are raised at the end of this year should be for all the people involved in helping those who are most in need of it."

Messi on his beginnings in Rosario: "At that time, I could not have even imagined how far those initial steps would take me. Today I am less obsessed with the goal. I try to contribute the maximum to the collective. What we Argentines are experiencing is very difficult. We wanted to bring joy to the people with this victory. I send a lot of strength to all of Argentina because I know it is a very difficult moment.

Pedri González hut back at Javier Vidal  


"I will never forget the moment when I met Messi. I entered the Ciutat Esportiva and he was there. He said welcome and he told me to enjoy this journey.
Muscles? I prefer to outsmart my opponents. I want to anticipate earlier than my opponents.

I would prefer that to having big muscles." This was in reply to Javier Vidal, Getafe physical trainer :“Being like Adama Traoré is a trend; in two years whoever is not very strong will not play in the First Division. You will not see the skinny or technical players much.”

Nigeria returning to a state of nature

Image
Reading through the front pages and major news pages of some mainstream newspapers today such as The Guardian and Daily Sun brought tears to my eyes and reminded me that indeed existential philosophers were right to conclude with the founding fathers of scholarly philosophy that in life the only permanent phenomenon is change.  You may want to know the source or cause of this upsurge in the emotional upsets I experienced. If in the affirmative, permit me to let you know that it was the photograph of hundreds of children, women and young persons in Plateau State that stood on the queue for their turns to receive plates of foods from the emergency relief services. These were persons hitherto happily doing their farm works in their different villages in Plateau State prior to the sudden invasion by well-armed Fulani militia who slaughtered over 200 persons and drove them forcefully out of the ancestral homelands and indeed the invaders had the temerity to settle down in those ‘...

China Is Loaning Billions of Dollars to African Countries. Here's Why the U.S. Should Be Worried

Next week, China will host leaders from across Africa for a summit in Beijing. The last summit was held in December 2015 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Chinese President Xi Jinping announced $60 billion in funding support for infrastructure development in Africa. The upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is sure to include an eye-popping announcement of billions of dollars more in Chinese financing to build infrastructure across the continent. But these massive loans can come with steep and opaque conditions. It’s tempting for Americans to think this is not our problem. But as African countries sink deeper and deeper into Beijing’s carefully laid debt trap, the United States could pay a steep cost in reduced cooperation on counterterrorism and job creation. Chinese debt has become the methamphetamines of infrastructure finance: highly addictive, readily available, and with long-term negative effects that far outweigh any temporary high. This is particularly true in sub-S...
