Up Close and Personal – 21012026

As a football fan, I looked forward to a great weekend, with both of my teams; the Super Eagles and Man City, in action.

Sadly, I watched Man City being thrashed by the other side of Manchester in what could easily have been a five-goal loss, save for VAR, which reduced it to a two-goal deficit. I was reminded that you should never underestimate any team simply because history appears to be on your side.

And another lesson on over-confidence, as Man City was subjected to another humiliating defeat last night in a UEFA Champions League match.

Later on Saturday, I watched the Super Eagles defeat the Pharaohs of Egypt 4–2 via a penalty shootout at the just-concluded AFCON tournament. We ended the tournament with a bronze medal, which I would describe as a fantastic outing for the Nigerian team.

We haven’t played football this well in recent times, and I hope the NFF keeps the coach and builds on this team. They showed class, determination, and a hunger for victory that has long been missing from the Eagles.

These three elements; class, determination, and ambition, will also serve you well. Build a positive reputation for yourself, remain determined to succeed, and be passionate about what you do.

Have a wonderful day. Cheers!
