With a new Sports CS, my prayer is we scrap Division Two and the other lower tiers and put emphasis on secondary school football. My thoughts.

The AU should send an envoy to dissuade the aging strongman, with despotic tendencies, from extending his trouble-ridden regime to avoid imminent sanctions 😅@ifedayoTiffy

In a year where Burundi, Malawi and others have had elections...the US seems to have been consulting a playbook from the archives. We do not use that playbook down here anymore!😉 The AU and others should issue press releases advising the USG to preserve democratic ideals! 🙃
