I’m certain the contractors handling Northern roads aren’t the same as those handling Southern roads in Nigeria.
Just look— smooth roads, no potholes from Zaria to Kano.
I'm an American trauma surgeon. One year ago today I was volunteering at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza when Israel fired a missile into the room of my 16-year-old patient, Ibrahim Barhoum. The missile killed him instantly. If it had hit the room 90 seconds later it would have killed me, too. Today the US and Israel are still blocking medical supplies from entering Gaza, and are repeating the assault on hospitals and healthcare workers across Lebanon.
This is nothing but barbarism. It must be stopped.
I grew up a Christian
I saw so much kindness in Christians and loved the way we did fellowship
Then I read the Bible fully - and I was shocked
I recognized that not only is the Trinity not Biblical, the Bible itself full of contradictions
Then I read the Quran - and recognized I had been lied to my whole life by the world
I read a book that wasn’t written by any man, but was truly the Speech of God
With a belief that actually made sense
And Jesus was there, as a great Prophet of God, brother to Muhammad and Moses and more along with His virgin Mother Mary
They all worshipped the same God and preached the same message
I accepted Islam immediately and I have never known REAL PEACE like I do as a Muslim
Praise the LORD
There is a term in international relations: "multi-vector foreign policy."
It means a country refuses to put all its relationships in one basket. It maintains productive ties with multiple major powers simultaneously, playing none of them against the others, extracting value from all of them, preserving maximum autonomy.
Vietnam has been doing this better than almost any country on earth for the last thirty years.
Vietnam has full diplomatic relations with the United States.
It has deep economic integration with China despite the territorial disputes.
It maintains the Russian relationship built during the war years.
It has strong ties with Japan, South Korea, the European Union, India, Australia.
No single power controls Vietnamese foreign policy.
No single relationship defines Vietnamese strategic orientation.
Vietnam sits at the intersection of all the world's major power rivalries and has somehow managed to extract benefit from every direction without being consumed by any of them.
This is extraordinarily difficult to do.
It requires discipline, strategic clarity, and a willingness to absorb pressure from all sides simultaneously while maintaining a consistent core:
Vietnamese interests first, everyone else second.
The nuclear plant with Russia fits perfectly into this framework.
It is not an alignment with Russia against America. It is a deal with Russia that serves Vietnam.
Just like the trade with America serves Vietnam.
Just like the investment from China serves Vietnam.
The question Vietnam asks about every relationship is always the same: what does this do for us?
That question drives Western analysts insane.
It is the only question that matters.
Imagine just 8 countries in the middle east control not just access to the trade routes of the world but they control and own the energy of the world. Instead of creating a united block to rule the world they fight among themselves and have become slaves to America.
InshaAllah we will be explaining what the “shark tank”is about, where we are, funds, ideas and more. Tomorrow at 8pm after Isha prayers…

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: Iran announced there are NO TALKS between Tehran and Washington
The US president's statements come as part of attempts to lower energy prices and gain time to implement his military plans
We are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be directed to Washington
