Lesson from yesterday's WAFCON2024 Final between Nigeria🇳🇬 and Morocco🇲🇦 _ By Àlàbí Tolúlọpẹ́ Michael ATM ✍️
Nigeria 🇳🇬 were 2-0 down within the first 25 minutes of the match. The atmosphere turned tense for the ladies. They hadn’t tasted defeat since the beginning of the tournament, and it seemed like the final was going to hand them a heavy loss.
Suddenly, many of the same people who had praised them from day one turned their backs on them. Criticism replaced compliments. They were mocked and called names.
They went into halftime trailing 2-0. Yet, they didn’t give up.
Then came the comeback. One goal... then another... and then the third. Nigeria rose from the ashes, turned the game around, and claimed victory.
They carried the day. Champions🏆.
🗣️The lesson?
In life, things might be going well for you and suddenly, life happens. People may forget all the good you’ve done. They may mock you, abandon you, and speak ill of you. It might feel like your world is falling apart.
But don’t give up. Gather strength. Keep pushing. Double your effort.
If you stay the course and refuse to quit, life will turn around again. You will rise. And you will smile brighter than ever before.
Never give up; you can still rewrite your story.
No matter how dark the chapter may seem, the pen is still in your hand.
Turn the page. Keep writing. The best part of your story may still be ahead.
