From fake bishops to fake "Catholic Youth" letters, the fabrications keep coming. One can only wonder what they'll invent next.

“How the internet almost destroyed me. As a young person on social media, your opinions are often shaped by other people's experiences. While I was in university, I hated men because I got caught up in the social media gender wå-rs. I formed strong opinions, and whenever I spoke, people would think a man had hurt me, not knowing I was only reacting to other people's experiences I saw online.”

I myself am a "men". Most of my friends are also a "mens". I have no idea who African women are referring to when they say that "men" prefer women who wear wigs over their natural hair. I can use myself and my sizeable friend group across 9 countries on the continent as enough of a sample size to categorically state that African men overwhelmingly prefer their women's natural hair.

Yet everytime this conversation pops up, we hear about this mythical creature called a "men like women in wigs." On behalf of African men, allow me to say it again that if "men" prefer female wigs over female natural hair, then we must be women - that does not apply to us at all.

We grew up with you people. You are our sisters, cousins, schoolmates and friends. The first picture of the female form that we saw and fell in love with as your brothers, nephews and high school boyfriends was you in your natural state. I don't think you realise how powerful that is. The girl from the next classroom that was every African boy's first love was a girl appearing in her natural state. That is the default picture of love that stays with us for life! We did not wake up one morning at 17 and suddenly decided that female beauty = a woman wearing a Hollywood production on her head.

That is fake news!

We've always loved you as you are.

The real issue is that you are receiving commercial messaging and social engineering propaganda to convince you that your natural state is incomplete, so that you will spend money to "fix" what was never broken, and some white guy somewhere gets paid off that. We do not control any of the messaging you are receiving! We don't control any social media algorithms. We don't control your TV programming. We don't control Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+ etc. We don't make TV and movie casting decisions.

We don't own any of the supply chains and factories built around manufacturing your insecurity - the most we can do is retail these products that somebody else put in your mind, manufacturer in a Chinese factory, and shipped to your country. If we were the ones in control of any of these things, we would never push such products on you. Even drug dealers don't sell drugs to their own family members.

Anyway that's precisely the problem - we're the world's least powerful men and our weakness has built a superhighway for every Tom, Sandeep and Chung to dump toxic ideas and products on our women and leave us to deal with the fallout. It is precisely because we don't control Media, Politics, War, Industry or Logistics that we haven't built a physical and psychological wall around our women, unlike every other group of men on the planet.

Our weakness as a group is what has left our women's minds and bodies defenseless and open to exploitation from anyone and everyone - to the point where they literally look at their natural form in the mirror and think there is something they need to correct about it. They know that as a group, the only thing we offer to them is penis and they have learned to discount whatever we say, even when we tell them that they're beautiful as they are.

This is a problem that the African rebellion will naturally solve.

When African men take our rightful place in the world and begin exercising power as we should, nobody will need to tell African women that their beauty is not enhanced in any way by laying a dead Indian woman's hair above their own.

Power fixes these problems.

Imagine waking up to news that Washington or London was completely sacked overnight.

That was the global shockwave in 410 AD when Rome fell to barbarians. Everyone panicked. One bishop sat down and wrote a 1,000-page masterpiece that reframed human history.

The funniest thing is that the Yoruba Omoluabi Virtues we were taught while growing up are the things I see in H.E Mr Peter Obi.

When a Government Declares War on the Truth

President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.

The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.

The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.

As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.

Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.

During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.

What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?

The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.

Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.

Caos en Japón.

Miles de japoneses se reunieron para protestar contra la construcción de la primera mezquita en Fujisawa.

La mezquita propuesta sería más grande que el santuario sintoísta, además quieren instalar altavoces para el rezo 5 veces al día, un acto de provocación.

«¡No queremos ni una sola mezquita, ni cementerio musulmán aquí!» gritan.

[Cyborg Warlord @Admiral_Cyborg]

The Catholic Bishops said there is hunger in the land.

Tinubu's response: "Before I was born, there was hunger in the land."

My response: If you heard that and thought it was an acceptable answer to the suffering of millions of Nigerians, then you're part of the problem. Deep down, you know it too.

Leadership isn't about explaining why a problem has always existed. It's about solving it.

Catholic Symbol Explainer: The Ichthys 🐟

During Roman persecution, early Christians used a simple fish outline as a secret code word.

The Greek word for fish, ΙΧΘΥΣ, formed a hidden acrostic:
Ι = Jesus
Χ = Christ
Θ = God's
Υ = Son
Σ = Savior

During the Roman persecution, when two strangers met, one drew an arc on the ground, if the other completed the fish, both knew it was safe to speak of Christ.

Fact..

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

Another Harmless gist 😅

Following Cardinal Onaiyekan's position on the state of the nation and his heavy criticism against the hunger and hardship in the land, all APC stakeholders have never rested since weekend.

In various propaganda groups, a lot of propaganda has been cooked up to attack Cardinal Onaiyekan's personality, but none of those propagandas carried any weight.

The last option on the table now is to pull the tribalism card but unfortunately, John Cardinal Olorunfemi Onaiyekan is also a Yoruba man. He's not Igbo and he's not Fulani.

This wasn't enough for our APC stakeholders, they searched deeper to find out the ethnicity of Cardinal Onaiyekan's mother and they discovered that the Mum was Yoruba and even the father.

They're currently searching the roots of his 5th ancestors... Because, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were all Yoruba.

We're still waiting for the final result of the intensive search.

The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC) Worldwide has faulted comments attributed to the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, on the presidential ambition of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Mr Peter Obi, insisting that no individual, irrespective of political status or public office, has the authority to determine the political choices of Ndig

Tinubu said he changed the national anthem to solve the problem of insecurity.

This was one of the things he told the Catholic Bishops who visited him days ago.

The 1st class accountant wanted to tackle insecurity by changing the national anthem.
