Nigeria will face Tunisia in the second game of the Round of 16 on Sunday after the Carthage Eagles finished third in Group F.
Tunisia has had a tough AFCON 2021 experience, falling 1-0 to Mali in their opening game that was filled with controversy before thumping Mauritania 4-1 in their next game. Just before the game against Gambia that ended in a 1-0 loss for the 2004 winners, half of the squad tested positive for Covid-19 which meant they had to prosecute a must win match with a depleted squad.

Early this year I visited Carlisle in Cumbria and I will be sharing with you 5 GOOD REASONS TO VISIT CARLISLE
Carlisle is the home of the 2nd smallest Cathedral in England after Oxford. The gothic architecture in this building dates back to the 13th and 14th Century. This was also one of the most beautiful cathedrals I had ever visited in England. I was offered a free tour and took lots of pictures.
Carlisle is also the home of some of the largest roman artifacts in the world. If you love artifacts, you will love Carlisle
Carlisle is also the home of the beautiful Carlisle Castle which has so much history but has gone through lots of changes over the years.
Carlisle is also the home of the Hadrians wall named after Emperor Hadrain.
Carlisle is not only the only City in Cumbria, It is also blessed with lovely sceneries, history and architecture .

I’m pleased to share this here. I won the Silver Award for the Tony Tokunbo Eteka Fernandez International Online Poetry Competition 2022.
When I entered the contest, I didn’t expect to win. But I did and it counts for something. I’ve noticed that I often second-guess myself, especially when applying for an opportunity (#internships, fellowships, jobs, #writing contests). I have the let’s-see-how-it-goes mentality, which may not always be healthy. It makes you feel like there’s not much you can achieve and you end up settling for mediocre.
Henceforth, I have decided to not be afraid to take a chance on myself, to be confident about my skills, to excel. Here’s to excellence🥳.
