(
On the 26th of June, 2018, Today happened to be a day for most Africans to learn, analyze the situations concerning the entire African continent, it’s development, and seek for a great change if Africa wants to achieve a brighter future for generations to come.
It’s a pity that some circumstances are still limiting the greatness of Africans due to the fact that Racism still exists in this modern world. I always ask this question “been a black man or an individual from any African country a crime? Why do many people feel we are illiterates, weak, not exposed, not mature and incompetent individuals? Africans are been marginalized in all areas of life and I think now it’s the time to fight for our right and do what is right for our generation and our pride.
I hardly spent time watching sports, movies, or playing video games, it doesn’t mean that I hate sports or watching movies, at times, I do watch movies when I’m trying to relax and figure out what to do next in my projects. I do get inspirations from movies, sports and music. Unfortunately, Today happen to be a very challenging day for my country’s National football team who happen to play against Argentina in the Fifa world cup held in Russia.
This Match in the group stage was the last match that will determine out of the two football teams that will move to the next stage of the FIFA world cup in Russia. I had to sacrifice an hour of my time to watch this match and with confidence I knew that Nigeria’s National team “super Eagles” has the capabilities to win this match because there are a lot of experienced footballers who are playing English, European, Spanish and German leagues.
I was interested in not only watching the Super Eagles of Nigeria against the Argentina National team but the fact that I will learn something from the two teams playing against each other. At this stage of the competition, it has been recorded that when Nigeria National team is in a group stage with team like Argentina or England or Brazilian or Spanish footballs teams, Super Eagles lose in the group stage.
This fact has drawn my interest In asking questions why African teams don’t move to the next stage of the competition? Is it that other teams are better than African teams? Is it because teams from Africa are black people and they are been marginalized? Is it that the match officiating is bad? Is it that racism is still practiced against African teams?
These are questions on my mind after I saw a clear penalty kick that the referee refused to award the Super Eagles. There was a Television review of the incident where it was clearly shown that the ball fell right on the hand of the Argentina defender and the referee also saw this incident, the entire world saw this clear corruption, racism and marginalization practiced against African football team in FIFA world cup 2018 in Russia.
This kind of incident was the ball fall on the hands of footballers from other teams from Europe, South America, and other well-known teams were given the rights to play the penalty kicks. Why on earth the referee refuse the Super Eagles of their right if this is not Racism practiced against Africans. I want to ask if Africans or blacks are not human beings like others? Why are Africans marginalized? That referee should be removed from officiating any match of any kind and in fact, his career as a referee should be terminated immediately because he is not worthy of being an officiator. He is Racist!!!
There are clearly 3 lessons I learnt from the outcome of the football match between super Eagles of Nigeria and Argentina.
FIRST: In life, if you want to be successful in any field of life, you have to go all out for success. You have to be discipline, focused, confident, strong to fight against all limitation including anything that wants to come between you and your destiny. Give no chance of any draw back and negative minded people who wants to surprise you because they are scared of your great qualities.
SECOND: Stop to pity yourself for who you are and how you are been created. One thing I understand about life as I begin to gain experiences in several fields of life and mixing with different people from different Nationalities, culture and background is that most people fail in life and also in business because of inferiority complex, excuses and Nationality. Many people even say that where they came from or where they where born has negative effects on there growth and success in life. This might be true but i want us to start changing negative thoughts into positive emotions because you can only move forward with positive emotions.
How God has destined you is specially for you alone. Everyone has it’s own advantages even if you’re black from Africa and was born in a very poor family who came from a poor village and you grow up in a very poor family with poor background. Your Destiny is in your hands and you can turn your negative situation to positive outcomes that a lot of people will benefit from. I sincerely believe that Referee should be removed completely from officiating any match of any kind, it's my oppinion and i think he does not worth the job if he is still practising Racism at this modern 21st century.
