I'll be rooting for the team that Thomas Partey is playing against

The international break sucks for club football. However, it kind of reminds the fans where their loyalty truly lies.

I'm both an Arsenal fan and a Nigerian, although sometimes I struggle to pick which one comes first. Honestly, if football wasn't such a huge money-spinning business for clubs and players weren't just money grabbing celebrities, perhaps I would have considered switching my allegiance to my club side.

Alas, I'm a Nigerian and I was born as a Nigerian before I became an Arsenal fan when I was less than ten years old. So, as long as Nigeria doesn't actually play against Arsenal, which only actually happens in video games, then there'll be no need to test my allegiance.

However, there are rare moments when your allegiance is mildly tested with the players. It is even more of a test because it involves one of the top performers on the club side.

Tomorrow evening, Nigeria will host Ghana in a winner takes all fixture in Abuja. Abuja is a two-hour trip from Kaduna and then there'll probably be another 45 minutes trip from the train station to the stadium.

This will be the first time I'm actually watching the national team play, so I'm super excited about it. We've already gotten jerseys and everything.

There's extra incentive for me to watch this match, because, as you probably realise it, an Arsenal player and one of the best midfielders in the world will be on the pitch.

I'm talking about Thomas Partey, ladies and gentlemen. He's going to be fielding for the Black Stars of Ghana and I'll be rooting for the team he's playing against.

This match promises to be a very feisty affair because there's a subtle rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana. On top of that, the winner of this game earns direct qualification to the world cup, so the stakes are made even higher.

The first leg was a cagey affair, with both teams more concerned about avoiding a loss than actually going for the jugular. I was also rooting for the team Partey's playing against, so I already had some practice.

Tomorrow, we'll be live at the stadium, cheering on from the stands as the Super Eagles go up against the Ghanaians. I hope it will be a fun experience without any weird shit happening, though I'm mentally prepared for some craziness.

Alcohol, drugs and any substance that promotes craziness will not be allowed into the stadium. So I intend to drink my beer outside the stadium before kickoff and depending on the outcome of the match, I might drink a couple more after.

We got the cheap tickets, so I suspect we'll be way up in the nosebleed section. However, I don't think that will dampen the awesomeness of the experience.

I'm looking forward to cheering on the boys, watching two teams of top professionals battle it out for supremacy and a place in the World cup later this year. Unfortunately, I'm going to be rooting for the team that could potentially knock out an Arsenal player's country, but that's life.

Nothing personal Thomas, but it's just, well, it is 100% personal and I need the super eagles to soar over the stars. Until we meet again, up the Arsenal and up the Super Eagles.

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.

I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.

They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?

People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

Even if Nigeria plays against Arsenal, you will support your country of birth.

I don't fancy the international break too and it makes everything boring but I sincerely hope Nigeria beats Ghana. It would be a shame to have a world cup without Nigeria in it.
