Pedri Admits Shock Over Lionel Messi’s Barcelona Exit

Barcelona’s talented midfielder Pedri has revealed that he was completely taken aback when he heard the news that Lionel Messi was leaving Barcelona — a moment that marked one of the most emotional chapters in modern football. Messi, often regarded as the greatest player in football history, emerged from Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, dazzling the football world with his exceptional skill and consistency. Known affectionately as La Pulga (The Flea), Messi rose from a promising academy graduate to become the undisputed legend of Barcelona, dominating not only Spanish football but the global stage. After a historic career at the Camp Nou, Messi’s departure in 2021 came as a huge shock to fans, players, and the football community. The Argentine superstar left as a free agent, following the club’s financial crisis, which prevented Barcelona from renewing his contract under La Liga’s salary regulations. Pedri, who had transferred from UD Las Palmas to Barcelona in the summer of 2019, was fortunate enough to share the pitch with Messi for two unforgettable seasons. During their time together, the young Spaniard made 47 appearances alongside the legendary forward, learning from his genius on the field. Speaking to France Football, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, Pedri reflected on their connection during matches: “I always passed the ball to Messi. Clearly, he was better than me. He made everything look so simple. I always looked for him on the pitch because I knew something magical would happen when he had the ball.” Pedri went on to admit that the news of Messi’s exit hit him hard: “It was a shock when Leo Messi left. I was playing in the Olympics at the time, and I found it hard to believe. For a while, it didn’t even seem real.” Following his departure, Messi signed with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he went on to win the French Ligue 1 title twice in two seasons. In 2023, Messi made yet another high-profile move — joining Inter Miami in the United States Major League Soccer (MLS) as a free agent, continuing his global football journey. Messi’s legacy at Barcelona remains unparalleled, and for players like Pedri, sharing the pitch with such an icon remains a career-defining experience.

Joan Gamper Trophy: Como Coach Cesc Fabregas Praises Barcelona’s Pedri and Lamine Yamal

Como head coach Cesc Fabregas has lavished praise on two of FC Barcelona’s most promising stars — Pedri and Lamine Yamal — ahead of their highly anticipated Joan Gamper Trophy clash scheduled for Sunday night. Fabregas, a former Barcelona, Chelsea, and Arsenal midfielder, expressed deep admiration for the young duo, describing them as extraordinary and gifted footballers who bring excitement and magic to the modern game. While addressing reporters in his pre-match press conference, Fabregas spoke glowingly about their abilities. Quoted by Barca Universal, he said: “Football needs players like Pedri. He is a player I truly admire. Lamine Yamal is an amazing player. Football has become somewhat mechanical, so it is important to have players with such talent and magic.” Fabregas’ words carry significant weight, not only because of his current managerial role but also due to his illustrious career as a player. The Spanish legend spent three years at Camp Nou, during which he won several prestigious trophies, including: His deep connection to Barcelona and his experience playing alongside some of the game’s greatest talents make his praise for Pedri and Yamal even more meaningful. The Joan Gamper Trophy is traditionally an important curtain-raiser for Barcelona’s season, and with Fabregas’ Como set to face his former club, fans are eagerly anticipating the match. The game will serve as a showcase not only for team preparations but also for emerging stars like Pedri and Yamal, who continue to attract admiration from legends of the sport.

Rhapsody of Realities August 10th 2025 ,BAPTISM—A TESTIMONY OF YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). Some have asked if water baptism is enough to save a sinner. But from the Scriptures, it’s clear that salvation comes by believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord. Water baptism, while significant, doesn’t provide the remission of sins, but it’s a testimony of one’s faith in Christ. In 1 Peter 3:21 for example, the Bible talks about water baptism, not as the removal of the filth of the flesh but as the answer of a good conscience toward God: “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21). The real cleansing from sin comes through the blood of Jesus Christ. Baptism is a public testimony of faith in what happened to Jesus—His death, burial, and resurrection. When people are baptized in water, they symbolically identify with Christ’s death as they are immersed in water, and with His resurrection as they are brought out of the same water. This signifies their faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Water baptism, in itself, doesn’t bring salvation. A person can be baptized and still be lost if they have not been born again. The Bible makes it clear that salvation comes through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Baptism is an outward expression of that faith. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the gift of salvation through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. I declare my faith in His death, burial and resurrection, and I live in the consciousness of this glorious truth. My life is a testimony of my union with Christ, and I walk daily in the victory of His resurrection, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭‭Romans 6:3-4 KJV‬Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ‭‭‭Colossians 2:11-12 KJV‬in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. ‭‭‭Acts 2:38 KJV‬Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanRomans 12:1-16 & Psalms 85-88 2-Year Bible Reading PlanLuke 14:25-35 & Judges 18 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I declare, in the name of Jesus Christ, that I walk in divine health. I am full of strength and life. Christ purchased a life of glory for me through His death and resurrection, and sickness has no place in that life. Therefore, no disease can enter my body or environment. I have what God says I have; I am who He says I am, and I can do all He says I can do. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.

The Lord is my shepherd therefore, I refuse to want, I refuse to lack. I have no need because I have all things in Christ. I am prosperous and very successful. Everything that I require for life and godliness is available to me. I thank You, precious Father, for loving me, blessing me, and increasing my numbers. Yes, God likes me. He takes pleasure in me. He is partial toward me. I am preferred for promotion, opportunities, favour, and advantage. I am preferred for blessings. I have favour with God and man. I am blessed in my going out and my coming in. I’m blessed in my body, mind, and spirit. My youth and strength are renewed like the eagles. The Lord my God orchestrates all things in my favour, so that I continually walk in super-abundance. He liberally supplies my every need, I live in HIs blessings.

My gates are open continuously, bringing in the wealth of the nations. All my resources are multiplied a thousand times and more. Every day of my life is full of God’s glory, beauty, excellence, and grace. Every day, God loads me with great benefits. In His favour, my horn is exalted. Eternity is alive in me. I live above infirmities and the harsh elements of this world because the One who lives in me is greater than he that’s in this world, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

2027 Election: ADC’s Leke Abejide Predicts Tinubu Will Secure Over 32 States if Jonathan Contests

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise, Leke Abejide, has voiced strong confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would emerge victorious if former President Goodluck Jonathan joins the 2027 presidential race. Speaking during an interview on the Mic On Podcast hosted by journalist Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday, Abejide stated that Tinubu’s potential victory margin would be significant — winning more than 32 states across Nigeria should Jonathan declare his candidacy. Abejide, who represents Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency in Kogi State, dismissed any notion that Jonathan’s return to active politics would drastically change the political outcome in 2027. Speculations Over Jonathan’s Possible Return Political observers have been speculating that former President Jonathan may make a political comeback in the 2027 general elections. Jonathan previously served as Nigeria’s president for one term before losing to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 elections. However, Abejide issued a note of caution to those considering Jonathan’s return. He maintained that, based on his political analysis, Tinubu would still dominate the elections, potentially losing only in Anambra and Abia States while securing wins in other regions, including Ebonyi State. “My prayer is that they should run on separate political platforms,” Abejide said.“If that happens, Asiwaju will win at least 32 states. He may lose Anambra and Abia, but he will win Ebonyi and possibly surpass that 32-state mark.” Tinubu’s Popularity and Public Sentiment Speaking further, Abejide emphasized President Tinubu’s growing popularity nationwide. Drawing from his recent travels, he said: “I just returned from Kano. I was there on Wednesday and spent the night. On Thursday morning, I traveled to Kaduna by road — there was no insecurity, and the road was in excellent condition. Then, this morning, I took the train to Abuja. I can confidently say that the people are happy.” His comments reflect a perspective that improved infrastructure and relative security in certain regions are boosting Tinubu’s public image ahead of the 2027 elections.

BBNaija Season 10: Jason and Kola Allege Dede Manipulated Them

Two Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemates, Jason Jae and Kola, have openly accused fellow contestant Dede of manipulating their emotions and using them to her advantage during their time in the house. According to the duo, Dede — a professional model — allegedly “used” both of them and later shifted her attention to another male housemate, Koyin. Jason and Kola, who had previously been at odds due to their rivalry over Dede, decided to put aside their differences on Saturday night. The two engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation where they both expressed frustration about what they believed was her calculated behavior. Jason said: “She [Dede] don use us catch cruise.” Kola responded: “She has achieved what she wanted to achieve. Mehn, I f*cked up!” Jason added: “After she used two of us, she moved to the next person, Koyin.” However, according to LMSINT MEDIA reports, Dede had clarified from the beginning of her interactions with both Jason Jae and Kola that she was not interested in any romantic relationship within the Big Brother Naija house. She emphasized that she is already in a happy relationship outside the reality show and made her stance known early on.

EPL: Arteta Comments on the Possibility of Gyökeres and Havertz Playing Together for Arsenal

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has suggested that Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz could both feature in the same lineup, potentially offering the Gunners greater attacking depth and flexibility. Gyökeres, who joined Arsenal during the summer transfer window from Portuguese side Sporting CP, has already begun making his mark during pre-season preparations. In contrast, Havertz — who has been deployed in the centre-forward position for much of the past two seasons — remains a key figure in Arsenal’s attacking setup. In the club’s recent pre-season matches, Arteta experimented with different attacking combinations. The Swedish striker started both of Arsenal’s latest friendlies — first against Villarreal, and then against Athletic Bilbao. In the second match, Havertz came on as a substitute for Gyökeres, showing how the manager is testing various options ahead of the new season. Both forwards found the back of the net in Arsenal’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Emirates Cup final on Saturday. Their scoring contributions highlighted the depth and variety Arteta now has in his attacking arsenal — no pun intended. Speaking after the game, Arteta confirmed that he sees no reason why the two cannot play together: “They can play together. It elevates the quality in the squad, the goal threat in the team, and the options we have to change and cause the opposition a lot of problems. It’s great to see both of them scoring. It’s a good problem to have.” The Arsenal manager’s comments suggest that fans might see Gyökeres and Havertz sharing the pitch in competitive fixtures soon, adding another dimension to the club’s attacking strategy as they prepare for the Premier League season.

Some Arsenal Players Set for Exit – Arteta Speaks Following Athletic Bilbao Victory

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that certain members of his current squad will be leaving the club before the end of the ongoing summer transfer window. Speaking to the media after Arsenal’s commanding 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in their final pre-season fixture, Arteta explained that while the team has made significant signings to strengthen key positions, there are also plans for player departures to balance the squad. In the friendly match, Viktor Gyökeres—a summer signing from Sporting CP—got the Gunners off to a perfect start by scoring the opener. The Swedish forward showed sharp movement and clinical finishing, signalling to fans what he could offer in the upcoming Premier League season. England international Bukayo Saka doubled the lead before halftime, finishing with precision after a well-worked attacking move. In the second half, German international Kai Havertz came off the bench to score the third goal, sealing an emphatic win for Arsenal and wrapping up their pre-season campaign in style. This summer, Arsenal has been particularly active in the transfer market. Alongside Gyökeres, the North London club has welcomed Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Cristhian Mosquera—all of whom are expected to provide competition and depth in various positions. However, Arteta made it clear that the reshaping of the squad is not yet complete. “Let’s see what happens in terms of where the squad is in the next weeks,” the Arsenal boss stated. “But we are actively looking at a few options. As well, there are a few players who have to leave. So, we will see what happens.” His comments suggest that the coming weeks could see further transfer activity, with some players heading for the exit door while others may still arrive. With the Premier League season fast approaching, Arteta appears determined to fine-tune his squad for the challenges ahead.

Kano Police Launch Investigations into Governor’s Aide’s Murder and Mob Justice Incident

The Kano State Police Command has confirmed that it is currently investigating two separate but serious criminal cases that recently occurred within the Kwalwa Quarters area of Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Kano State. According to official police reports, the first case unfolded on Monday, August 4, 2025, at approximately 7:30 p.m.. Unidentified armed attackers stormed the residence of Sadiq Shu’aibu, popularly referred to as Sadiq Gentle. During the violent intrusion, the assailants stabbed him multiple times and robbed him of his personal belongings. Immediately after the attack, he was rushed to Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital in Kano for urgent medical treatment. Sadly, despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead on Thursday, August 7, 2025. The Police Command has since launched a comprehensive investigation into the murder, urging members of the public to provide any credible information that could assist in apprehending those responsible. The second incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, August 3, 2025, around 2:00 a.m. In this case, 24-year-old Mas’ud Dahiru was alleged to have unlawfully broken into the home of Musa Hassan with the intention of committing armed robbery. According to the police statement, Dahiru allegedly attempted to stab Musa Hassan’s wife with a knife. However, their 18-year-old son, Muhammad Musa, intervened to protect her, during which Dahiru stabbed the teenager on the back and face. The commotion attracted the attention of neighbours, leading to an alarm being raised. A crowd quickly gathered and managed to apprehend Dahiru and his accomplice, identified as 38-year-old Alhaji Haruna. Both men were beaten by the irate mob before being handed over to the authorities. The suspects were taken to Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital for medical attention. Dahiru was later confirmed dead by medical personnel, while his accomplice, along with the injured Muhammad Musa, is still undergoing treatment at the facility. Kano State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, PhD, assured the public that both cases would be handled with the highest level of transparency and professionalism. “The Kano State Police Command remains committed to upholding law and order, safeguarding lives and property, and ensuring that justice is served in accordance with the law,” the Commissioner stated. The Police Command has also reiterated its appeal to residents to cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies by providing timely and accurate information that could assist in curbing criminal activities in the state.

Omoyele Sowore to Take Legal Action Against Nigeria Police Over Alleged Inhumane Detention Conditions

Human rights activist and former Nigerian presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has announced plans to initiate a lawsuit against the Nigeria Police Force for what his legal representatives have described as “inhumane and degrading treatment” during his most recent detention. In an official statement released on Saturday, Sowore’s lawyer, Tope Temokun, alleged that the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, August 8, 2025, around 6:00 a.m., when police officers reportedly attempted to forcefully relocate him from one cell to another. According to Temokun, this violent encounter resulted in a fractured arm for Sowore. The legal team strongly dismissed the police’s official statement, which claimed that Sowore had arrived at the station with his arm already bandaged. Temokun labeled the account as “false, self-indicting, and logically inconsistent.” Furthermore, the lawyer challenged the Nigeria Police Force to publicly release the full inventory of Sowore’s personal belongings seized during his arrest, insisting that such evidence could either confirm or disprove their narrative. The statement also revealed that Sowore was denied access to his private medical team. Instead, police allegedly offered him treatment from a non-certified first-aider, without conducting any X-ray scans or professional diagnosis. According to Temokun, Sowore’s refusal to accept treatment from police medical personnel was to avoid potential evidence manipulation by individuals accused of causing the injury in the first place. The legal counsel further accused the police of ignoring serious allegations, including the alleged theft of Sowore’s Ray-Ban AI glasses by an officer. This, they argued, contrasted sharply with the rapid public denial issued by the police concerning the assault allegations. Temokun also refuted the police’s justification for Sowore’s detention, which was based on his refusal to make a statement. He stressed that this decision was entirely within Sowore’s constitutional rights, citing Section 35(2) of the Nigerian Constitution and Section 60(1) of the Police Act 2020 as legal backing. “The undeniable fact remains: Omoyele Sowore sustained a broken arm while under police custody and direct control. We will explore every available legal remedy, including formal petitions to the Nigeria Police Council and the Police Service Commission,” Temokun declared. Sowore was released late on Friday, after spending two days in detention. Nonetheless, his legal representatives have vowed to demand a comprehensive account from every officer involved in the incident.

Content Curation for Social Media: How to Turn Scrolling Into a Paycheck

If you spend hours scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), or LinkedIn, you could be sitting on an untapped income stream. Content curation — the strategic act of collecting, organizing, and sharing valuable information online — is one of the fastest-growing ways to monetize your time on social media. Unlike content creation, where you make everything from scratch, content curation focuses on sourcing the best content from across the web, giving it context, and delivering it to your audience in a meaningful way. Brands, influencers, and even small business owners are now paying curators to filter the noise and share only what matters. What Is Content Curation? Content curation is the process of finding, selecting, and sharing relevant digital content with a targeted audience. Think of yourself as a DJ, but instead of mixing tracks, you’re mixing ideas, articles, videos, and visuals from various sources into a cohesive, value-packed feed. For example: Your goal is to become the go-to resource in your niche so followers trust your recommendations. That trust can easily be converted into income. Why Content Curation Can Pay Here’s why curating content isn’t just a hobby: According to HubSpot’s 2025 Social Media Trends Report, curated content boosts engagement by up to 47% compared to brand-only content. That’s a huge advantage. How to Turn Scrolling Into a Paycheck 1. Choose Your Niche Don’t try to curate everything. Narrow down to a field you enjoy and understand. This could be: A well-defined niche attracts the right followers and keeps your content relevant. 2. Pick the Right Platforms Your audience dictates where you should post: Don’t spread yourself too thin. Master one or two platforms before expanding. 3. Use Curation Tools You don’t have to manually search the internet all day. Tools like: These tools save time and help you spot trends early. 4. Add Value, Don’t Just Share Anyone can hit “share.” Your job is to add context, insight, or commentary. For example: Instead of just posting a link to a new AI tool, explain why it’s different, how it can save users time, and any potential drawbacks. Your voice and perspective turn generic content into your brand’s content. 5. Build Relationships with Content Creators Reach out to original creators for permission to share their work, tag them, and give credit. Many will reciprocate by promoting you in return. This builds your network and expands your reach. 6. Monetize Your Efforts Here are ways to start earning: Best Practices for Successful Content Curation Final Thoughts Content curation is no longer just a pastime — it’s a legitimate business model. With the right niche, tools, and strategy, you can transform endless scrolling into a valuable, income-generating skill. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your curated feed grow into a brand that brands and followers can’t ignore.

Rhapsody of Realities August 9th 2025, BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation (Mark 3:28-29). Some have asked, “God is love, and He forgives all our sins, how come He says anyone who sins against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven?” First, understand that the Lord Jesus addressed this warning to the Jews; they were the ones to whom the covenants and the Law were given. The Spirit of God had been revealed to them, and they had seen His works throughout the Old Testament. They were aware of the Holy Spirit’s role in creation, how He moved upon the waters in Genesis, and how He garnished the heavens. But despite this knowledge, when they saw Jesus perform miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit, they accused Him of working by the power of Beelzebub. Therefore, the Master warned them that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. The Holy Spirit is the One who leads a person into salvation, convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement, and teaches and guides God’s people into all truth. Without the Holy Spirit, no one can come to God or believe in Him. Therefore, if someone blasphemes the Holy Spirit, they reject the very One who is meant to guide and lead them in the things of God. To blaspheme the Holy Spirit requires a deep knowledge of God’s Word and the things of the Spirit. It takes someone who knows who the Holy Spirit is to sin against the Holy Spirit. That’s why it’s rare to find someone who’s been a true Christian sin against the Holy Spirit. It’s very rare because to do that is to intentionally disdain the Spirit of grace. The Bible explains this further in Hebrews 10:28-29: “He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” It further shows that it’s not just any person who can do this but one with full knowledge of the truth, yet chooses to despise and disparage the Spirit of Truth. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for the precious Holy Spirit who convicts, teaches and guides me into all truth. I acknowledge and honour His work in my life and around the world, yielding myself fully to His guidance and blessings. I walk in wisdom and understanding, continually growing in the knowledge of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭‭Hebrews 6:4-6 KJVFor it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. ‭‭‭‭Matthew 12:31-32 KJV‬Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. ‭‭‭John 16:8-11 KJV‬And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

EPL: Joe Cole Voices Concerns Over Cunha’s Attitude at Manchester United

Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has voiced concerns regarding Manchester United’s newest signing, Matheus Cunha, focusing particularly on the player’s demeanor. Although Cole praised Cunha’s talent—highlighting his flair, goal-scoring prowess, and versatility—he pointed to rumors about the Brazilian’s attitude that give him pause. Cunha, 26, transferred to Manchester United from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer, committing to a five-year deal with the Red Devils at Old Trafford. Reflecting on Cunha’s profile, Cole told TNT Sports, “He is a phenomenal player—a fantastic goal scorer with a broad skill set—but I’ve heard whispers about his attitude.” He was careful not to label Cunha negatively, stating, “I wouldn’t say he’s a bad boy, but he does come across as a bit of a maverick—and that rings in conversation about him.” Cole added, “There’s always too much talk coming out of Manchester United’s dressing room, so bringing in Cunha feels like a bit of a gamble.”
