Venezuela: the world’s largest oil reserves.
Trump’s airstrikes weren’t about democracy. They were naked imperialism.
Notice a pattern? Every country the US attacks lately is oil-rich.
Blood for oil.
Greed over humanity.
Always.
This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
With a delegation of students and faculty of the Law School of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration @gimpa_lawschool here to participate in a study tour of the WTO as part of the LL.M. programme on international trade and business law. Happy to see the interest and enthusiasm in getting to better understand the @wto.
A remarkable Nigerian family achievement worth remembering.
In 2012, Nigerian quadruplets Toks, Temi, Tobi and Tolu Ogunsanya made headlines after graduating from the University of Warwick, UK, on the same day.
The 23-year-old siblings, two pairs of identical twins had all pursued higher education at Warwick.
Three of them, Temi, Tobi and Tolu, earned MSc degrees in Management, while Toks graduated with an MEng in Manufacturing and Engineering.
The quadruplets, who had moved to the UK from Nigeria at the age of seven, went on to secure jobs in London's financial and professional sectors.
Four siblings. One university. One graduation day. 🎓🇳🇬

• Botswana is considering acquiring up to 30% equity. The investment could support Botswana’s efforts to diversify its fuel supply sources and strengthen energy security.

Not to sound dramatic, but I’m starting to believe there’s a foreign influence operation behind the rise in xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment across Africa because ehhh… something is not adding up
This video of an armed security agent assaulting civilians at one of their many checkpoints in Southeast has become a constant feature in the entire SE. Most of them act like an occupation force. And it has to stop, now!
Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia Lies Exposed as Pictorial Evidence Shows Benue Govt Was Informed of Obi’s Visit Before Sending Thugs to Stop NDC Flagbearer https://t.co/OUzy4xSx5y
I am deeply disturbed by the attack on the convoy of our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as he travelled to Benue State.
The deliberate mobilisation of unruly elements to block and attack his convoy and prevent him from entering Makurdi marks another dark day for our democracy.
Authorities must remember that the Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of movement. This right applies even more strongly to Mr Obi, a former governor and leading opposition figure.
The Benue State Government must, as a matter of urgency, ensure that those responsible are swiftly identified and prosecuted. It must also guarantee the safety and free movement of our candidate and his entourage.
I further urge the President to caution state governors, particularly those in his party against any actions that could undermine the sanctity of our democracy.
I also call on the international community, including diplomatic missions and election observation groups, to take note of this incident and to urge Nigerian authorities to uphold the rule of law, protect opposition leaders, and safeguard democratic freedoms. - RMK
Power is not served a la carte. To usher in the New Nigeria, you must first grab power.
Your gentleman politics should end now. You have the power to make them tremble & pee in their pants; use it! The road ahead is rough.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO ENTERTAIN FEAR!
The events of today have shown that removing Tinubu from power solves our problems 70%.
We have seen what happened in Benue State today. How a so-called Rev. Fr. (the governor) used his thugs to stop Peter Obi from entry.
It’s good that this is happening now so everyone will know what we’re up against.
The APC are afraid of what Obi represents; an egalitarian society, where equality, equity, & justice rule. A Nigeria where the children of nobodies will become somebodies without knowing anybody. They are scared of that!
Hunger, lack of food, is a means of control. The APC understands the power of chains, they want you in it & in check, hungry & beggarly; on your knees defeated. They want you to constantly depend on handouts.
They are scared of the man who came third.
Peter Obi is the reason Nigeria is relatively peaceful today. He has the capacity to shut down the country, but he won’t do that. His love for you trumps his ambition. He doesn’t want any harm to come your way. It is obvious the APC are the sponsors of the terrorism going on. They pull all the levers of power.
It is so because that is the power you gave to them. Their authority is what you say it is.
They fear unity, they will challenge any attempt to unite Nigerians. What Peter Obi represents is dangerous, it has the capacity to end impunity & criminality for good. They see in him, the capacity to galvanize Nigerians toward nation-building. One nation, under God, moving with a shared purpose. The APC cannot have that!
They would rather see the country burn to rule over its ashes. One candidate is Awol, hidden away in an undisclosed location, no one knows where he is. Meanwhile, Nigeria's official presidential jet is parked somewhere in Europe, accumulating debt on your behalf. In contrast, another candidate is traveling across Nigeria, doing his best to help citizens get started.
Yet, despite his efforts, he faces constant attacks from the government in power.
The government is truly unwise. The more you persecute Peter, the more Nigerians will rally to his cause. History is replete with examples.
In a place where anarchy rules, the innocent is the one receiving the most abuse. In a place where peace reigns, only the guilty is afraid.
They fear the candidate who supposedly came third, & now something has to give. We must activate every directorate of the OK Movement.
People must organize a welcoming party on the ground in every state, ready to welcome Peter Obi & mobilize for his protection. We have many powers we haven't even used. Fear is the enemy; they rule through fear. When people fear you, they will come to respect you.
This is not the time to cower; our mothers gave birth to no cowards. Once we lose our sense of fear, we are free. My People, there is a battle ahead. Ready yourselves, BE PREPARED! 💪
