@PaulGoldEagle 30,000 idiots liked this post. Let that sink in.

@GaytonMcK I was routing for South Africa. They are Africans like me. I have visited South Africa twice and I have good friends and mentors who helped my career in some ways. But, I understand why everyone around me were adopting Mexican names during the match. Let's be better please.

@MickyJnr__ What is the source of this news?

[Abbas @adrusa]

@Watchingth18141 @Elton3000 @ShemekaMichelle I doubt he knows precisely how to aim at the heart without hitting a rib. I'm a medic but I'm not sure I can aim at the heart without first palpating to avoid the ribs. I have needed to do this every time I aimed at the much bigger lungs. I believe this was a tragic outcome.

[Abbas @adrusa]

@Elton3000 @ShemekaMichelle Good argument until we get to "Why does he have a knife?" "What might be the reason he carried one around?". And "why is stabbing someone an appropriate response to being shoved?". He probably didn't intend to kill, but see how he has ended up?

@DAMIADENUGA @grok I win

@ManLikeAkoh The Vanguard link you shared literally called it "prayer walk". "KILLINGS: Adeboye directs RCCG members to join CAN’s prayer walk"

[Abbas @adrusa]

@onu_slim They could not "call him aside" as Chief of Defence Staff, only as Minister of Defence? Keep cooking fake news.

I’m not your propaganda point, Masih. You don’t get to attack all hijab and pretend it’s for those who don’t have a choice. You’re an Islamophobe plain and simple. Iranian women deserve better representation.

[Abbas @adrusa]

@toosoon47ta @AlinejadMasih It is all she has; rage-baiting against Democrats using Islam and Hijab.

@Chude_ND1 Go to Jos on a typical Sunday and come and report on how many detours you have to make because roads are blocked for Sunday services.

@RealSarahIdan @AOC You may be cosplaying as a Muslim, but you can not be a good one if you have a problem with a woman showing respect and solidarity with fellow Muslims at Eid praying ground. It may not be a mosque, but Islamic prayers were being offered there. Where did you pray your eid?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

@jpodhoretz Hey there! It’s the first. This is at a mosque, where we were invited by the congregation to speak before prayer. In this context, head coverings are the respectful move. One of the fun parts of being a rep for NYC is learning different customs for so many communities. Cheers!

Yesterday, as I was about to step out, my mother was busy helping me perfect my dress, making sure everything was just right. No matter how old we get, a mother’s care, attention and love remain unmatched.

Thank you, Mummy, for always being there, for the little things that mean so much, and for the endless love and support. May Allah bless you with good health and a long life. ❤️

@ERINFOLAMI2024 Where is the "sophisticated weapon"? You are intimidated by bouncers carrying batons?

[Abbas @adrusa]

@Adebo_ogund After 8 years as speaker, you are still only good for the house of assembly, not even House of Representative. And you are celebrating?! Your mumu has PhD.

@mog_dayo There is no RRS in Oyo State please. Never seen an RRS vehicle or squad.

@obyezeks @officialABAT @NigeriaGov @nassnigeria @NGRSenate @HouseNGR @NGFSecretariat Two issues. 1. Today is Sallah. Half of the nation is celebrating a significant festival. Wish them well. 2. Yes, sadly many of our children are held by bandits and terrorists. Yet, thousands of our gallant forces are in the forrests trying to rescue them. Please appreciate them.

[Bọrọkini Rogers 🇳🇬 @Femi_OfMainland]

You want the truth?

It has not. The reforms were not meant to improve the quality of life and living conditions of ordinary Nigerians in obvious ways yet.

According to IFC, reforms typically take between 2 and 10 years before ordinary citizens feel the effects in a broad and obvious way.

0–2 years: Citizens often feel the pain first:
-subsidy removal
-inflation
- currency devaluation
-layoffs/restructuring
- tax increases

2–5 years: If reforms are consistent, countries may start seeing:
-lower inflation
-currency stability
-improved investor confidence
-job creation in new sectors
-infrastructure improvements

5–10+ years: The deeper societal impacts usually emerge:
-higher incomes
-productivity growth
-stronger institutions
-better living standards
-more stable private sector growth

Everything listed above is according to the IMF, the OECD, and the WB. It is well researched especially during the reforms of the Asian tigers and Eastern Europe.

I can defend this further, but please tell me you rest this with honesty and you can't see that we are perfectly in line with the timelines.

I fear the mistake is that most media aides of the Presidency didn't communicate this well to people enough, and to be honest, I get it, nobody loves to hear that the next couple of years would be for suffering.

Curse out Asiwaju for the security issues all you want; I will totally support you. But you see this economy side: while more can certainly be done, the team has done the unprecedentals by African standards.

@WASalam_01 Available with your favourite retailers. I have 6 small bags of it in my house as I type. I will send picture when I get home.
