@NiiNiiFC Congrats bro!

Yes, FBA they have no smoke for the millions of Asians and Latino immigrants. And European immigrants.. just African immigrants and black immigrants from the Caribbean. They still go spend their money with the Asians and the Arabs with a smile on their face..

Everything that white people do to try to hurt Black Americans ends up hurting them more than it hurts us. Black Americans always overcome. Always have. Always will.

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop.

That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

This 32-min Stanford lecture by Graham Weaver will teach you more about living boldly than 10 years of self-help books.

Bookmark it and give it 32 minutes, no matter what. It’s the best way to start your week.

Iranian Professor Marandi:

“ISIS was created by your regime.

Al-Qaeda was created by your regime.

The head of Al-Qaeda went to the White House — the same organization you say carried out 9/11.

So how are we supposed to know who the terrorists are, based on your standards?”

Mehdi Hasan on Iran: “Every Republican president does this. Comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, then bombs a Middle East country. He ran as the anti-war candidate. No more forever wars, no more regime change. It was all a lie”

Neguse: When a member of congress asks how many people work at the national cryptocurrency enforcement team and the attorney general refuses to answer it, it is not a coincidence. It's because she eliminated the team. Why? Because her boss is making money hand over fist, $1.4 billion over the course of the last year through cryptocurrency holdings.

[A. Ayofe @abdullahayofel]

For decades, the script was simple:

Africa drills the oil,
the West refines it,
and Africa buys it back at triple the price, with gratitude. Imagine that!

Now Dangote came with a 650,000-barrel-per-day “plot twist.”

-The first migraine hit when U.S. fuel export numbers started twitching. West Africa, that loyal customer, suddenly said, “No thanks, we’ll refine it at home.” Imagine selling umbrellas in a desert, that’s how America feels right now in the diesel market.

-Then came the second headache, the petrodollar sneeze. If Nigeria starts trading refined products in naira, yuan, or even “AfriPay,” that’s a direct jab at Uncle Sam’s global ATM. The dollar doesn’t like competition; it catches inflation fever when others sneeze independence.

-Third pain: The geopolitical thermometer just went up. Africa’s biggest refinery means fewer oil tankers from Texas, and more from Lagos to Lome, under African control. That’s not energy trade; that’s energy freedom. And freedom, apparently, is bad for business.

-Fourth dose: The U.S. isn’t happy seeing Nigeria shaking hands with China and India on refinery deals. It’s like watching your ex build a mansion with your rival. The refinery runs on Chinese funding and Indian technology, two things America used to monopolize.

-And finally, the fifth and deadliest headache, the symbolism.
Dangote didn’t just build a refinery; he built a mirror, showing Africa what it could’ve been decades ago if it stopped outsourcing its future.

Now Washington can’t just send “economic advisers” and “development loans” with fancy conditions anymore. Africa might soon say, “Thanks, but we’ve got this.”

So Dangote’s refinery isn’t just refining oil, it’s refining pride, power, and perspective.
And for the first time, the biggest gas leak in the room isn’t from Nigeria, it’s from America’s nerves.

Country First 🇧🇼

The forensic audit is progressing and is expected to conclude by year-end. Anyone found wanting will face the full force of the law.

As we start the week, let’s choose integrity over shortcuts. We are still feeling the effects of past corruption, which has impacted many essential areas of public service delivery.

Despite the challenges we face, productivity and integrity remain in our hands. Let’s give our very best and serve our country with excellence. 🇧🇼

No amount of Israeli propaganda is going to stop Americans from noticing the freak show that is Zionism.

I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them.

The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations.
