There are things we don't know. The problem is that we just don't know that we don't know these things, until we realise we didn't know them in the 1st place and that comes only after we know them.

@vittor There's something called credit card. Just charge it to the card.

[Modest Sam @Modestsam81]

Lol. International politics.

Name a better take than this on the Iran war, I’ll wait.

It's the same way they are always planning to do, when it comes to the public good but are actively bringing to fruition whatever benefits them personally, with no delays or bureaucracy.

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

When the Government wants to work, it will work

Rivers State under Sim Fubura delivered 1000 homes in 24 months. It’s called the RIVTAF Golf Housing Estate.

If “Abuja” wants to build 10,000 one and two-bedroom flats in Nigeria in 24 months, crash rent and win elections, it can.

The problem is they don’t need you the way they need the judiciary

This is same for insecurity and power, let these filthy bandits make the error of kidnapping the wrong school children, you will understand security dey work

If you like, keep defending and abusing me online.

Nigeria will not surrender any part of its territory to criminals. Those who choose the path of violence against innocent citizens will find no hiding place.

The only thing left is to create a Ministry of Bandits Affairs and Ransome Disbursement (BAARD). Awon were.

Bandits’ attacks: Federal Government raises N500 billion emergency security fund

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

Nothing gives Nigerians orgasm than masturbating over the capitalist billionaire class. Especially aspiring rent-seeking billionaires like this dude who posted this. They worship and exalt them as though more of this parasitic class is good for the society.

[Modest Sam @Modestsam81]

Good step.

[Nigeria Stories @NigeriaStories]

BREAKING NEWS: The Federal Government has ban the use of personal email accounts, such as Yahoo Mail, for official public-sector transactions, mandating that civil servants transition to a secure, institutional digital platform.

@rukky_nate Not everyone does well under observation. It's like acting.

An excerpt from my post-premiere press conference in Dar es Salaam where I spoke very plainly and frankly to my colleagues on the other side of the continent.

My message as always: Be utterly unapologetic about being African and backing Africa's agenda.

Some idiots would still say something bad about Obi's time as a governor.

[Ocular Priest 🎱 @KaizenMindset_3]

I bet you didn't know that Peter Obi is fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) because he said he's a trader. 

Just so you know, a ‘Fellowship’ is comparable to a PhD in prestige within professional practice and may carry equal or greater practical weight than a PhD.

[Modest Sam @Modestsam81]

Awon were.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

So resign and hand over to a priest.

Foolish retarded idiots.

@OgechaMary @chinenyeway This is the cheapest and fastest way to deal with it.
Show her YouTube clips of children that have experienced this or let her have a taste of the other side.

[Dr KALU, OON @DrKalu_]

Once you're kidnapped and you have access to your phone, don't panic. Don't call the police.
Go to twitter, insult the President, the and the Chief of Army Staff. Make sure you write their full names in the insult. Within 3 to 6 hours the Army and the police will locate you.

[Modest Sam @Modestsam81]

@SaharaReporters Like Politicians like Military. Always giving excuses when it's time to do something for the public good.
Useless bunch.

[Modest Sam @Modestsam81]

Impressive

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

This is a cool look at how SoFi Stadium prepared to host eight World Cup matches (including the USMNT’s first match on home soil in 32 years). They had to remove seats and suites and then built an entirely new natural grass field with irrigation and drainage on top of the turf.

These men were the Senegalese Tirailleurs—African soldiers recruited from across France's West African colonies, including present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

When Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, they fought and died defending a country that was not their own.

Thousands served on the front lines, facing the same artillery, machine guns, and tanks as their white comrades.

Many were captured by the Nazis and endured years of imprisonment under brutal conditions.

But for many survivors, the greatest betrayal came not from Germany, but from the very nation they had fought to defend — France !

After the war, African veterans returned expecting the pay, pensions, and respect promised to them for their service.

Instead, they encountered discrimination, delayed wages, and unequal treatment.

On 1 December 1944, a group of demobilized Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp near Dakar protested over unpaid salaries and benefits.

French colonial forces opened fire on them, killing 500+ veterans. Historians are convinced that the true death toll was likely much higher than this.

They fought for France against fascism, survived Nazi captivity, and came home only to be met with bullets from the French colonial state.

It did not end there. In 1945, 34 of the Senegalese veterans, who were thought to be the instigators of the protest, were tried and given sentences of upto ten years.

They were later pardoned as French President Vincent Auriol visited Senegal in March 1947, but they were not exonerated, and their widows were never awarded the veteran pensions usually granted to widows of fallen soldiers.

The Thiaroye massacre is not taught in schools in France, and a Senegalese film about the massacre released in 1988, Camp de Thiaroye, was both banned in France and censored in Senegal.
