Pep Guardiola said that this was the toughest Premier League he has experienced. Slot echoed that. The floor of the league is so high West Ham were relegated on 39 points and three England clubs are in European cup finals. Don’t let anyone discredit this.
🚨#BREAKING: Watch Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say that we don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel while being removed by the Capitol police
📌#Washington | #DC
Watch As Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing to voice opposition to a potential war with Iran, saying many Americans do not want the United States drawn into another conflict. Moments later, U.S. Capitol Police moved in and forcibly removed him from the chamber as the disruption unfolded. During the removal, McGuinness claims his arm was broken. Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana was also seen assisting as officers escorted the anti-war protester out of the hearing. McGuinness, an activist and Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, has been outspoken against the possibility of a broader conflict in the Middle East. The incident is now gaining significant attention online as veterans and anti-war activists react to the confrontation at the Capitol.

Who Is REALLY Keeping Africa’s Sit-Tight 'Leaders' In Power?
Paul Biya, Omar Bongo, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Mobutu Sese Seko, Teodoro Obiang, Gnassingbé Eyadéma, Yoweri Museveni, José Eduardo dos Santos, Denis Sassou, Nguesso, Idris Déby, Mobutu Sese Seko…
These are Africa’s sit-tight leaders, who have ruled or continue to rule the continent with an iron fist, on behalf of a colonial menace that never really went away.
The West, particularly the US, the UK and France, has historically backed these sit-tight African leaders under the pretence of “upholding democracy”, while demonizing, attacking and often murdering African leaders who refuse to bow to its interests. This pattern continues today with the West’s continued endorsement of the “democracies” in Cameroon, Uganda and Kenya, as it condemns the “juntas” in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
So the next time you hear the words “democracy” and “Africa” in the same sentence from the lips of the West, ask yourself… who truly benefits from Africa’s current “democracies”?
I've realised something recently.
When I worked on projects like this and Cornflakes For Jihad, which focused on violence in Nigeria's Middle Belt and North, various people got various mistaken mistaken ideas.
Some people thought I was on "their" side as in Biafran separatism or Igbo ethnic nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in Christian nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in disliking Muslims or wanting to balkanise Nigeria into multiple fragments.
For the avoidance of doubt, let me state what my ACTUAL agenda for Nigeria was, still is, and will always be:
My agenda is to use radical truth-telling to force Nigeria to confront its problems and solve them, instead of slowly dying of them. My style is to look at issues square in the face, and speak to the core of the matter without fear or favour. I am not a Christian nationalist (I am actually atheist and I think Christianity is a dangerous colonial insertion which has made African cultures weak, disunited, lacking in strategic focus, and easily exploitable).
I am not a Biafran separatist (While I acknowledge that genocide against Igbo people was carried out during the so-called civil war between 1967 and 1970, I also know that the war itself was externally instigated, and was in fact a postcolonial proxy war between the British and the French with Israeli involvement on both sides, and I know that breaking up a country with as much potential for African power as Nigeria over a solvable ethnic grudge would be among the top 3 dumbest things Africans have ever done).
I don't hate Muslims (I believe that Islam, like Christianity, weakens African unity because it is not indigenous to Africa, and African Muslims historically have a weird habit of identifying first as 'Muslim' before 'African', which has had real consequences before, but I also acknowledge that like Christianity, Islam is definitely not leaving Africa anytime soon and I have to live with that reality).
Finally and most importantly, I am not an ethnic nationalist of any type. I abhor the idea of fragmenting large African countries into some more useless, weak, feudal ethnostates with zero international leverage and no sovereignty, as if we don't have nearly 50 of those already. I believe that aggregation of Africa's resources, trading area, political relations, technology and manpower across this vast rich continent is the only meaningful way forward for African people in Africa and the diaspora.
I have been fortunate enough to live a fairly privileged life which has allowed me to travel the world extensively and understand how it actually works. The reality of the world - no matter how disappointing some Nigerians may find it - is that "David Chukwuemeka Ajayi," a Christian from Edo, and "Idris Yusuf Mohammed," a Muslim from Kano are exactly the same in the eyes of those who run the planet. David and Idris might not like each other because of the different religions they are carrying on their heads, but the unfortunate reality is that THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE.
The world only sees "Africans" and does not give a single shit about whatever extra identity exists above that. A Kanuri woman from Borno and a Zulu man from KwaZulu Natal in South Africa have the exact same political identity in the eyes of those who actually matter in this world. That is the reality of the world, and that is why I am a Pan Africanist - it's not because I don't recognise Africa's obvious diversity. It's simply that I understand that in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous for us, the only chance for survival that we have as a country and as a continent is to work together.
And if your vision of working together doesn't include Christians, Muslims, animists, ATR people, atheists and whoever else shares your common destiny as an African, then rest assured that we are all going to die as divided fools, and other people will take our land.
As I always say, whenever you wake up is your own morning.
