@TRUMP_ARMY_@elonmusk In the UK, 🇬🇧 we don’t curse at our opponents. We are civil towards each other. We only fight with our wits. So I find it very difficult to understand the Democrats.

An Ode to Nigeria.
By Bobby Moroe
As I bid farewell to Nigeria after nine unforgettable years, my heart is full — heavy with goodbye, yet light with gratitude.
To the Government of South Africa, I extend my deepest appreciation for entrusting me with the honour of serving our nation in Nigeria for almost a decade. To the Executive, I pay my sincere gratitude for the confidence you bestowed upon me. Representing our country in Nigeria has been the privilege of my life, and i believe I have carried that trust as a sacred duty each day.
To the people and the Government of Nigeria: Thank you for the hospitality that never felt like protocol, but like home. You welcomed a stranger from Pretoria with jollof on his plate, music in his ears, and warmth in every handshake, greeting all the way...how far.........how you dey...i dey fine.....well done....... These pigging expressions I have learned and embraced with gratitude and affinity. From the buzz of Lagos traffic to the quiet dignity of Abuja’s sunsets, from Kano’s ancient walls to Calabar’s carnival colors, you showed me a nation that dances through storms and laughs with its whole chest.
In the halls of diplomacy I found partners. In your markets, churches, mosques, and boardrooms I found teachers. But in your homes, around late-night pepper soup without pepper and shared stories, I found family. Friends became brothers and sisters. Your children called me “Uncle Bobby,” "Oga on Top", or sometimes, "Oga Kpatakpata" and I wore these names with pride. You taught me that Ubuntu lives here too — "I am because we are" — spoken in a hundred languages, but felt the same.
These nine years were not just a posting; they were a love story. Nigeria tested me, stretched me, and ultimately transformed me. You showed me resilience that does not bend, faith that does not break, and joy that refuses to be silenced. I leave as a better diplomat, a better man, and forever a son of this soil by affection, if not by birth.
Though my SAA flight carries me back home across the Atlantic, a piece of my spirit remains on the Lekki Bridge at sunrise, in the drums of Durbar, in the laughter of colleagues at the South African Consulate General in Lagos, and in the countless hands that held mine when duty was heavy.
Nigeria, thank you for letting me serve alongside you.
Thank you for the trust, the lessons, and the love.
This is not goodbye — it is a short break, for the world is round.
Until we meet again.
With deepest respect.
-Moroe is a diplomat, and until recently, the Consul-General of South Africa to Nigeria
@sehri1278 God bless you and you bundle of Joy. May you enjoy love and companionship and peace. May God grant you long life and prosperity. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. Big congratulations to you.
Cameroon’s 93-year-old president has just handed his son the keys to the nation by creating a vice presidency that didn’t exist for over 50 years. With one signature, Paul Biya may have rewritten the country’s political future. ( FULL STORY 👇)
@simonateba Finding art is bitterness is no art. Follow the process if you have any legit grouse. Otherwise, you’re just spoiling the name of our colour.
@DoctorLemma@tmacbond They remind me of how I kiss my teenage daughter as if she’s still a baby. I kiss her until she’s ticklish and giggles to remind give me back the nostalgia of when I use carry her in my arms. 🥲

@raanii_6 God bless your bundle of joy and grant him good health, wisdom, favour, long life and prosperity. May God grant your whole family long life, His salvation and mercy to enjoy each other only with tears and laughters of joy, and enjoy the fruits of your labour. In Jesus Name. Amen.
A very important interview by @amanpour with Iranian dissident Mehdi Mahmoudian, who has spent 9 years in prison under the Islamic Republic.
On the crucial question of whether change can come from within, he points out that the internal democratic opposition in Iran faces the double problem of both being attacked by the Iranian gov AND from the inside, and by the son of the former Shah from the outside.

@XCreators How is only US users eligible for this though. I mean some of us in the UK, Australia, other European countries and Africa contributed immensely on a daily to this platform. You need to give people equal access and stop this segregation.
@RedLineReportt Greatest.
He’s just full of grace. Awesome. Why do I always go teary when I comment about him? I prayed so hard for his return, and now he’s given them the first Christmas without misery in Nigeria. Thank you President Donald J Trump.
