[Sinawo Thambo @Sinawo_Thambo]

Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s international reputation and decades of goodwill.

All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are “men”

Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust.

Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s political satire

It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively.

The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s a stain.

South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010.

Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.

[Dédáyọ̀ Roots @DedayoRoots]

In 1879, a British/Scottish medical student named Robert Felkin watched an African healer in Uganda perform a caesarean section.

Clean incision. Banana wine as anaesthetic and antiseptic. Bleeding cauterised with hot iron. Wound closed with iron pins and herbal root paste.

Mother recovered fully. Baby survived.

Felkin noted in his journal that the technique was SO REFINED, it was clearly standard practice, performed routinely long before any European arrived.

At that same moment, hospitals in London and Edinburgh were still debating whether caesarean sections could ever be justified on a living woman.
European surgeons were operating in street clothes, rarely washing their hands, and losing most patients to post-operative infection.

The Africans had already solved anaesthesia, anti sepsis, haemostasis, and wound care.

Felkin went home and presented his findings to the Edinburgh Obstetrical Society in 1884.

The knife used in that surgery still exists.
It is now housed in the Science Museum in London.

A silent artifact of a surgical tradition they called primitive.

They didn't discover our medicine.
They witnessed it, wrote it down and forgot to mention where it came from.

Group Urges FCT Intervention Over AMAC–FCTA Regulatory Dispute

The Global Integrity Crusade Network (GICN) has called for urgent intervention by authorities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over what it described as multiple taxation and regulatory conflict affecting businesses and residents within the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

In a statement, the group warned that the lingering dispute between AMAC and the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) over environmental regulation and levy collection could escalate if not swiftly addressed. It cited recent protests by private school operators in Abuja as evidence of mounting frustration among stakeholders, alleging that overlapping enforcement actions have resulted in double taxation and undue pressure on businesses.

GICN urged the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to convene an emergency meeting of all relevant stakeholders to harmonise regulatory responsibilities, particularly in areas relating to fumigation, sanitation and public health compliance within AMAC.

The group also called on the Registrar of the Environmental Health Council of Nigeria, Baba Yakubu, to clarify which authority is constitutionally empowered to regulate environmental health services and collect associated levies in line with the 1999 Constitution and existing laws.

Furthermore, it appealed to the Director of Magistrates in the FCT, Idayat Akanni, to suspend ongoing prosecutions and enforcement actions linked to the dispute pending the establishment of a harmonised framework. GICN also urged the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the activities of Nabuyar Environmental Consultants Nigeria Ltd and its representative, Obinatu Remigius, over alleged harassment of compliant businesses through duplicate levy demands.

The group called on civil society organisations nationwide to support efforts aimed at ensuring transparency, protecting businesses and restoring regulatory clarity in the FCT.

The Muslim Brotherhood didn’t take power with guns.
They took it with patience.

They started as charity, schools, clinics, mosques.
Not to serve society, but to build loyalty outside the state.

Their method was simple:
control minds first, institutions later.

When crises hit and governments weakened, they stepped in, using democracy as a tool, not a belief.
Elections were a doorway, not the destination.

Once close to power, criticism became ‘anti-Islam,’ opposition became ‘treason,’ and religion became a political shield.

The UAE saw this early.

Instead of waiting for chaos, it acted, legally and decisively, and cut the network before it could capture the state.

No civil war. No collapse. No bloodshed.

That’s the difference between reacting to extremism
and preventing it.

[Moe Bible Verses ✝️ @AnimeBibleVerse]

Many people don’t know that when the Bible says Jesus was laid in a manger, the Greek word for manger is “phatnē” which refers to a feeding trough, and many in Bethlehem were made of stone.

Here’s what’s powerful:
Shepherds in the Bethlehem region were known for raising sacrificial lambs for the Temple. When a lamb was born, it was carefully inspected for blemishes and often placed in a manger or trough to protect it from injury because a damaged lamb could not be offered to God.
So when the Lamb of God entered the world, He was laid in the *very place* where sacrificial lambs were kept.

And who did the angels announce His birth to?
Shepherds. Not kings. Not priests. Shepherds—men who understood sacrifice, blood, purity, and lambs without blemish.

When the angels said, “You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12), it was a sign they would immediately recognize.

This child wasn’t just a baby. He was the final Lamb. The One who would take away the sin of the world. From the moment He was born, Jesus was marked for sacrifice—not by men, but by God.

✨ “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)

The First Oil Merchant

In the Bible (2 Kings 4:1-7), a poor widow had lost her husband and was about to lose her sons to creditors. She ran to the prophet Elisha.

Elisha asked her, “What do you have?”

She answered, “I have nothing... except this small jar.”

Hmm.

“Except this small jar.”

What mineral resources does your state have?

“We have nothing ooh... apart from this flat desert land with no trees.”

“We have nothing ooh... apart from clay.”

“We have nothing ooh... apart from columbite.”

But we digress.

Back to the Bible. Elisha told her, “Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors. Don’t ask for just a few.”

Borrow? I thought borrowing was bad. Elisha could have filled her jar with the best olive oil, but he wanted to give her more. He wanted her to become an entrepreneur with lifelong income.

Elisha asked her to borrow from friends and family first, not the bank. She was a startup. Startups should never use bank loans to begin (interest will wipe you out). Why debt? By borrowing empty jars, the widow increased her capacity and created runway for growth. The lesson: gearing can create growth.

Elisha told her, “Go inside with your sons; then the oil will flow into the empty jars.”

Basically, start the manufacturing business with your boys. The widow obeyed, the oil flowed and flowed, and she and her sons started making bank.

Elisha wanted her to become an oil merchant. He could have given her cash; he didn’t. He gave her the means to become an oil entrepreneur. God is not a one-and-done God.

One part we overlook: Why did the oil stop? Her sons said, “We can’t raise any more capital.” Once they said no more jars could be obtained, the oil stopped. If she had opened a shop and kept raising capital, that oil might still be flowing. Selah. God never limits you; you do.

Lesson: You are your own limit.

What did she do with the oil? This is important. Elisha said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

Breaking it down:

1. Go sell the oil: become an entrepreneur, trade the products of the borrowing.

2. Pay down your debt: you borrowed to generate wealth; now repay the debt.

3. Live on what is left: consume only the wealth generated after the debt has produced income and been repaid.

I wish I had time to go deeper, but here’s the summary:

1. You have more than you think you do.
2. Your capital is never enough; borrow.
3. Borrow zero-interest loans from family and friends to start.
4. Sometimes your business needs more than cash.
5. Never stop building market share; once you stop, you “die.”
6. Be bold and aggressive.
7. Monetize profitably.
8. Debt should generate income-bearing assets.
9. Pay off loans; debt can be a prison or a helper.
10. Consumption is good.

Most importantly, your business is only as good as your board of directors or who gives you advice. The widow was lucky to have Elisha as her “Chairman.” Seek out wise counsel.

@Ayoelesho Happy ending after spa activities.

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

The Federal Government must come clean with Nigerians.

The quiet appointment of Xpress Payments Solutions Limited as a new TSA collecting agent is not an administrative decision, it is a dangerous resurrection of the Alpha Beta revenue cartel that dominated Lagos State during and after the Tinubu years. That model created a private toll gate around public revenue and funnelled state funds into the hands of a politically connected monopoly.

What we are witnessing now is the attempt to nationalise that same template, moving Nigeria from a republic to a private holding company controlled by a small circle of vested interests.

To introduce such a policy in the middle of a national tragedy, while Nigerians are mourning loved ones lost to the deepening insecurity crisis, is not only insensitive, it is a deliberate act of governance by stealth. When a nation is grieving, leadership should show empathy and focus on securing lives, not on expanding private revenue pipelines.

This latest move raises fundamental questions:

Why was this appointment rushed and smuggled into the public space without consultation, stakeholder engagement, or National Assembly oversight?

What value does Xpress Payments add that existing TSA channels do not already provide?

Who truly benefits from this? Nigeria or an entrenched political network?

This is not reform. This is state capture masquerading as digital innovation.

Let me be clear:

Nigeria does not need more middlemen between citizens and their government revenue. What we need is greater transparency, stronger institutions, and a tax system free from political capture.

I therefore call for the following:

1. Immediate suspension of the Xpress Payments appointment pending a public inquiry;

2. Full disclosure of the contractual terms, beneficiaries, fee structures, and selection criteria;

3. A comprehensive audit of TSA operations to prevent the creeping privatisation of revenue collection;

4. A legal framework, not executive shortcuts, that prohibits the insertion of private proxies into core government revenue systems;

5. A national security priority shift, recognising that a country under assault cannot afford economic governance conducted in the shadows.

Nigeria’s revenues are not political spoils. They are the lifeblood of our national survival, especially at a time when insecurity is tearing communities apart.

The government must abandon this Lagos-style revenue cartelisation and return to the path of transparency, constitutionalism, and public accountability. -AA

[The Disrespected Trucker @DisrespectedThe]

Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

And it keeps going.

Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.

God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.

You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning.

Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart is now with the Lord. He lived 90 years on the Earth and lead millions of souls to Christ… He was my preaching hero when I was a teenager and later I went to Bible College at his school. His ministry paid for 2/3 of our tuition.

He sold over 20 million records in his lifetime and donated all of the royalties back to the ministry… No doubt, one of the greatest preachers in history… He leaves an incredibly rich legacy. Well done!

Today, I’m officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I’ve experienced over the years.

From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe—these are memories I’ll cherish forever. I’ve faced incredible highs and some tough lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a fighter and as a person.

I want to thank the UFC, Dana, Hunter, Lorenzo, God, my family, coaches, teammates, and all the fans who have stood by me through every chapter. Your unwavering support and belief in me have been my foundation. To my fellow fighters, thank you for bringing out the best in me and for the respect we’ve shared inside and outside the cage.

As I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges ahead. MMA will always be a part of who I am, and I’m excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come.
