Every man dies, not every man lives-- If you can't embrace failure or the possibility of failure or the tremendous fear of failure, you can't be successful ...
Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. ~ Assata Shakur

Let’s see if a hike could open SOH or produce a single barrel :)
You can’t 25bp a chokepoint and r* isn’t neutral. It’s SOH risk premium, and We set it.

Our educational system is deteriorating daily. I just finished marking some IJMB exam scripts from schools across different parts of Nigeria, and interestingly, these scripts are from the Northern, Southern, and Eastern regions of the country.

Violation of N-HYPADEC Act!
President Tinubu, we urge you to withdraw the nomination of Mrs. Tomi Somefun as MD of N-HYPADEC. The Act clearly states the MD must come from a hydroelectric power-producing area — she does not.
@UpdateNews724 Trump doesn’t lift sanctions without leverage. If Iran wants oil revenue, it must abandon terror and nuclear games. This isn’t weakness, it’s strategic pressure wrapped in opportunity. America holds the cards.
In the last 72 hours, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran when negotiations between Washington and Tehran were still ongoing.
Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected.
In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.
At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense.
Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran.
It’s time for a reality check:
Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning.
Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3.
Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars.
One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply.
That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a wider regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war?
We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks. Iranian Shahed-136 Drones cost $20,000 each. American Patriot Missiles cost $4 million per interceptor.
Do the math. We will run through our inventory of missiles and go broke while Americans come home in boxes.
The Middle East is on the brink. Here's what Washington must do to defuse conflict:
1. Ask for an Emergency UN Security Council meeting. Ask for an Immediate ceasefire making it clear that Washington opposes the destruction of Iran, Israel and any other state in the Middle East.
2. Demand that Israel stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and withdraw its forces from Gaza and the West Bank.
3. Suspend all military aid to Israel until Israel agrees to remove its troops from Gaza and permit humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Gaza.
4. Propose the commitment of Armed Forces from non-aligned nations to police Gaza and the West Bank. 5. Propose that the United States, Russia, China, India and Brazil convene a peace conference to arbitrate the dispute between Israel, Iran and Israel’s neighbors.
I led American Soldiers under fire into action. I've seen plenty of flag-draped coffins. I don’t want to see any more. Washington’s warmongers had 22 years. They failed. They lied.
They profited while America bled. Time's up.
America First means AMERICA FIRST. Not Israel first. Not Ukraine first. Not NATO first. AMERICA FIRST.
I initially didn’t want to post this transaction receipt of an erroneous transfer I made to one Obi Ikechukwu Marcel in December 2024. Even though he flatly refused to return the money when Access Bank, his bank, contacted him to do so, I still wanted to respect his privacy by not sharing the receipt publicly.
I was hoping that one of the banks involved, Providus Bank (my bank) or Access Bank, would issue a clarification to either validate or refute my claims, especially since many people on this platform have been asking them to do so.
Since neither bank seems unwilling to provide any clarification, I am now compelled to post the receipt here to clear any doubts about my claim. I also urge those who know Mr. Obi Ikechukwu Marcel to encourage him to return my money amicably.
