Nebenzia DESTROYS UK for demanding that Iran show restraint
‘As if it were Iran and not Israel and the US that was escalating the situation’
‘We’ve seen a lot of hypocrisy in this room, but this takes the biscuit’
In court, the government admitted UK-made F-35 parts risk being used in violations of international law & Israel isn’t committed to complying to international law.
Yet the government has continued arms exports, breaching legal obligations & exposing itself to criminal liability.
Responding to the US Veto, Ambassador Majed Bamya tells the US Ambassador: “Maybe for some we have the wrong nationality, the wrong faith, the wrong skin color. But we are humans and we should be treated as such.”
JUST IN: BRICS officially adds 13 new nations to the alliance as partner countries (not full members).

🇧🇾 Belarus
🇧🇴 Bolivia
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇮🇩 Indonesia
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan
🇲🇾 Malaysia
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇹🇭 Thailand
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇺🇬 Uganda

“My government does not kill Israelis…Your government killed 42,000 Palestinians.”
Watch Amb. Dr. Riyad Mansour respond to Israeli ambassador at the Security Council.
I casually asked ChatGPT about the most authentic and unaltered book in history, and as expected, the response was the Holy Qur’an. The Qur’an is the literal word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) over 1,400 years ago. The Qur’an has been preserved in its original Arabic form without any alterations since its revelation.
On this day 24 years ago, the world watched, helplessly, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach, whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.
Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.
Make no mistake, there won’t be nuclear weapons in this conflict, only threats. The U.S. and Israel beat the Russians and Iranians to the development of the 'defense system,' which was quite expensive. As a result, the East took a different and cheaper approach, succeeding in 'offensive system' technology: hypersonic missiles that reach speeds of Mach 5 and are harder to detect and intercept due to their maneuverability and sustained high speed. The primary goal was to penetrate the West’s defensive systems and restore deterrence. The dynamics of this war have changed, and at one point, people never thought hypersonic missiles were possible.
For context, only the Russians and Iranians have proven hypersonic missile capabilities. The U.S. hypersonic missile program is still not successful and remains under development.
They deprived us of basic education to educate their children at Eton and Harvard, denied us healthcare to seek medication in Germany and Dubai, left us homeless to buy houses in London and Paris, abandoned our roads to fly luxury jets and withdrew subsidy to get foreign loans.
We have a right to be angry!
Saleh Fatima Alkali did not forge her result. She did not boast about it. She did not even publish it, She also did not compare herself to others. And did not gloat. She just scored perhaps the highest mark in the JAMB UTME Examination, and remained humble and modest. It was others who exposed her and praised her.
Apart from Fatima, at least 12 other Northerners also scored above 300. However, they did not make noise after making news. They simply praised God for His benevolence and went about their daily Jihad of self-conquest and self-development.
We can all learn something about Northern Arewa culture from Fatima.
Northerners, especially the Hausas, were literate, clothed and on horses five hundred years ago. They have also been going to Mecca on pilgrimage for the last 800 years.
And they were seasoned naval aviators thousands of years ago. The Dufuna canoe, excavated in Yobe State (incidentally, Fatima is from Yobe) is 8,500 years old, and is the second oldest canoe ever discovered on Earth.
That they do not boast about money does not mean Northerners are poor. The wealthiest man in Nigeria is a Hausa man, Aliko Dangote. His great-grandfather, Alhassan Dantata, was the wealthiest person, not just in Nigeria, but in West Africa.
Since the creation of Nigeria in 1914, there has NEVER been a time when the richest Nigerian was not a Northerner.
Yet, no Northerner has ever declared himself king of money in Hausa or any other language!
That they do not boast about inventiveness does not mean they are not inventive. Alhassan Dantata was not only the wealthiest man in West Africa in his day, but he was also the inventor of the famous groundnut pyramids a hundred years ago.
Jelani Aliyu, a Fulani, is the only person of Nigerian origin to have achieved international prowess in designing cutting-edge electric vehicles, including the Chevrolet Volt and the Pontiac G6.
In terms of Western education, especially the medical profession, they produced one of the world's best cardiologists, in the person of Jibril Aminu, a professor of cardiology.
And in terms of beauty, their women surpass any other in Nigeria.
Unlike empty barrels, who are so boastful, arrogant, without any sense of moderation and exultant in hubris to the extent that they look down on others when they are intoxicated by an achievement, mutanen Arewa tend to be modest even in the height of their accomplishments. Which is why God has seen it fit to entrust power to them.
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”-James 4:6.
May God bless Arewa
May God bless Nigeria

Please fast-check me. For the last 12 hours, cell phones and data services in most American cities have been down due to an outage with ATT, the largest U.S. cellular and data provider. Two hundred fifty million Americans are affected. Google it. It has still not been resolved. Most Americans can't call or use the Internet with all features. Yet, no American is on social media trending, 'America is finished!', 'Useless country'.
But three weeks ago, Nigerians trended 'Nigeria is finished' because of a two-minute power outage at Murtala Muhammed International Airport. It was so bad that a Kenyan influencer had to intervene to appeal to Nigerians not to destroy brand Nigeria before the world. More than anything, the issue we face is the attitude of our people, who feel they can destroy Nigeria and restore themselves.
If you don't love your country, your country will not favour you!

Even as a crypto entrepreneur, I still fully support the steps taken to curb Naira speculation on Binance peer-to-peer platforms. It is too easy to use fake Naira to USDT transactions to game the market and manipulate the value of the Naira. Binance had similar problems in the U.S. and had to pay a $4.3 billion fine.
The Nigerian government should not just intervene forcefully. We should also fine Binance for not taking steps to stem currency manipulation. If you don't find them, they won't stop what is a profitable scam. Crypto is too unregulated. If left on its own, economic saboteurs will use it to undermine Nigeria's economy and currency.
