And what is wrong with that? He has been disrespected enough. Apart from the aspirants storming his private residence in the middle of the night to protest over a primary election they claimed to have won, there are people pushing different types of propaganda against him. Yet you expect him to remain quiet and not defend his name and reputation?
Today, I am sanctioning Cuba’s state-owned energy company, Unión Cuba-Petróleo (CUPET), under President Trump’s EO 14404. Cuba’s Communist elites have weaponized energy as a tool of social control and kleptocratic profit.
For decades, the regime has stolen and hoarded available fuel — using it for the Castros’ private jet, the security services forces used to repress the Cuban people, to keep empty tourist hotels lit up, and to bus people in for fake protests and political stunts — all while the Cuban people have suffered blackouts and waited weeks to fill their cars.
President Trump wants a new future for the Cuban people with greater economic and political freedom and opportunity. Until then, we will continue to target the Communist regime’s ability to leverage its energy trade to further its corrupt agenda and violently repress the Cuban people.
🪖 My Boss in arms, I feel your frustration loud and clear! As a serving soldier, seeing these clean, modern rifles (M4-style with optics, suppressors, and all the attachments) makes any fighter dream of better tools. We are the Giant of Africa we deserve gear that matches our status.
But let me speak from the field:
The AK platform, though old, is battle-proven in our terrain dust, mud, rain, and extreme heat. It rarely jams when you need it most. These fancy AR-15/M4 systems are more accurate and modular, no doubt, but they demand constant cleaning, high-quality ammo, proper maintenance, and intensive training. Switching isn’t just about buying guns it’s about logistics, spare parts, armourer training, and billions in new supply chains.
We need upgrades, yes! Better rifles, body armour, night vision, comms, and vehicles. But it must be done strategically, not emotionally. Nigeria has the potential. What we need is serious investment in local production (DICON), better welfare for troops, and priority on what actually wins battles.
To the Federal Government: Our men and women at the frontlines are giving everything. Equip us like the giants we are. Modernise smartly.
Fellow soldiers and Nigerians, what’s your take? Should we push for full transition or phased upgrade?

Deji Adeyanju, VDM’s lawyer, is keeping mum while his client leads a protest to a military facility. I’m sure he understands the legal implications of such an action.
The Very dirty man and his useless Rats are fortunate that PBAT is a committed democrat. Under old sojas like OBJ or late PBM, attempting something like this could have attracted a much tougher response from security agencies.
The clown is pushing his luck too far. He should go and ask Nnamdi Kanu how far….
Governor Adeleke's supporters in Osun State have mastered the act of intimidating and bullying President Tinubu @officialABAT and AMBO’s @OyebamijiBola supporters in Osun State.
They plan to destroy any APC supporters' businesses who refuse to support Adeleke re-election. Should politics stop anyone from running their legitimate business in Nigeria? This is unacceptable!
The Governor shouldn’t force the oblivion popularity on Osun people. We’re practicing democracy—lets everyone support who they like. It might be your business tomorrow! Osun people should speak up and condemned the illicit acts from Accord party members.
The IGP, DSS, COAS, and other security agencies should please come to the aid of APC supporters in Osun State.
You forced Qatar to accept Israelis in because it’s an “international tournament and everyone must be welcome” just say you’re terrified of trump and his fascist government and move.
🇬🇧 | 🇷🇺 | Oh just a reminder since people forget easily, in 2022 the British government took this man's [Roman Abramovich] football club, Chelsea and stole his billions because he's Russian.
Things have gone that bad. Witches have gone unhinged.
Now rogue FIFA is justifying why a country that bombed countries around the world and killed children in Iran is hosting a global football tournament.
Apparently its "Western values"
The whole world is watching their double standards.
And CAF banned them for missing the game they were heading to after they were shot and some of them killed.
Africans institutions have always been plagued by bad leadership.
Iran’s fundamental mistake is that it believes this war is not existential for the US.
This war is existential for the so called American pact aka Pax Americana. The pact in which the US provided investments, military protection, and a very sophisticated financial infrastructure. In return, the other participants focused on what they could do best. The division of labor, and comparative advantage: China: high quality labor, GCC Arabs: cheap and reliable energy, etc.
As part of the pact, any excess capital from these participants would get invested in US financial markets, primarily in the form US treasuries, but also venture capital (eg Saudi money in Softbank), and other instruments.
This did two things:
1-Lower the cost of capital in the US. This meant lower interest rates, higher stock market, more money available for startups, lower housing costs, and many other things.
2-The invested capital served as a hostage, a guarantee of good behavior by those in the system, which supplied some level of stability to the pact. The US could theoretically seize or freeze the assets of any misbehaving participants.
Parts of this pact have already been going away. China is not a US satellite state or even a partner. It is a competitor, building its own pact in the form of Belt and Road Initiative. It is also reducing its exposure to US treasuries and increasing its gold reserves.
If the US loses its dominance over the Persian gulf, another part of this pact will break. The GCC Arab states have lost their protection, while still having a hostage in the US. That’s an incentive to reduce their exposure and diversify their assets out of the US.
It will also send a signal to everyone else in US orbit that the military protection is not available anymore.
As these orbit states reduce their exposure to US assets, the cost of capital in the US will rise: higher interest rates, lower stock market, higher home financing costs, fewer startups, etc.
Furthermore, the US has $31T public debt, with average maturity of 5.9 years. As the interest rates rise, the cost of rolling over this debt is going to rise.
Last but not least, there’s about $1.6T in additional debt that gets added every year, which will be paying higher interest.
As the debt/GDP ratio rises, the feedback loop kicks in: the US has to pay a higher interest rate to keep the same investor.
This is why the loss of the Persian Gulf is so significant for the US.
I might write a later post about the effect of rates on debt financing.

From what I learned, Facebook was in China back in the early 2000s, then it became a communication tool for terrorists. China asked FB to stop hosting the terrorist group and FB refused. Then many terrorist attacks happened in China and China determined that FB has to go.
🏟 | FIFA | Russia must take legal action against this man and impose sanctions on him for destroying people's football careers.
If he suddenly knows that politics should never be mixed with sports; why did he ban Russian players then in 2022?
What an evil, horrible person.
This is the end of U.S. diplomacy. No country can believe a word they say, ceasefires/agreements are worthless, negotiations can end in assassination and murder. Truly a rogue state, a dying superpower speed-running the process of decline. Will they take us all down with them?
