Ẹlẹ́ran With Style: Meet Akeem, The Fashionista Graduate Meat Seller
At Camp Junction, Abeokuta, Ogun State, a Business Administration graduate stands out from the crowd, dressed with the confidence of an office executive.
By day, Akeem Muraina looks ready for the boardroom. But instead of heading to an office, he resumes daily at his meat stand.
Akeem is a meat seller, a trade popularly known as ‘Ẹlẹ́ran,’ in Nigeria’s South-West region. But he gives it a trendy lift.

The last time a CIA director visited Moscow was William Burns’s trip in November 2021 to urge Putin not to invade Ukraine.
The strikes on Moscow and Russian refineries have spilled the beans, and Putin is on his way to another such massive strike.
The WSJ reports that the CIA Director Ratcliffe was in Moscow to ask Putin not to declare another mobilization for the final attack on Ukraine and to warn him about attacks on NATO soil.
🇨🇳🇺🇸 China has officially announced that it will not abide by new US sanctions on Iran and that it will retaliate in kind if the US imposes sanctions on China over Iran.
Practically all new economic sanctions announced by the US are falling through the cracks, because China will continue to do business with all of the countries that do business with Iran.
Plus China can immediately put another ban on rare materials exports, which blocked US technology couple of months ago and Trump had to ask for negotiations.
The only thing that remains for Trump is the naval blockade and economic sanctions directly on Iran, which, even after so many years, have not brought any significant results.
Meanwhile, the closed Hormuz is putting enormous pressure on the petro-dollar, which is now blocked. Because the US has been printing dollars for years based on the petro-dollar, there is now a huge inflation being felt inside the US.
It's not the lack of beef, it's the huge amounts of dollars currently sitting around, previously used to pay oil in the Middle East.
The return of US diplomats to their embassies in the Middle East means that Trump has decided to stop the war for now, push through the midterms, replenish supplies and possibly decide to strike again.
There is no other option for him
For a while now, I have been talking about how Northern governors have been sponsoring mass weddings of poor and uneducated people and how they have been giving birth indiscriminately.
And I realized that I have not been getting any significant backlash from Muslims,especially.
Including the educated ones amongst them.
Something tells me that it's their innate and long term plan.
The muslim world seeks to dominate the Christian world and establish Muslim governance, religion and rules.
This is also happening in the western societies.
They support wokeism but are not woke.
They want to support governments where Christians are allowed to be liberal and woke, but they're preserving their religion and guarding their followers against it.
The Christian world thinks that they're wise and more exposed than the Muslim world.
We will see what happens in the next 30 to 50 years.
End.
"There is no question that a nuclear armed Iran would bring stability to the region"
John Mearsheimer gets it.
If countries like Iran don’t arm themselves with nuclear weapons, vultures like Israel and the US will tear them apart without a second thought.
North Korea truly knows how the game works.
Disarmament is suicide, and survival means staying armed to the teeth.
What i know is that if the runways in Abuja and Lagos international airports were closed for four days, it will be tagged a national emergency and heaven and earth will be moved to get the runways open
At this stage the Nigerian Army corps of Engineers should be moved to site with Julius Berger to perform immediate palliative on the roads until a full redesign and rework is done
Jobs and economic growth have been lost because of this incompetence.
Tame your excesses.
Discipline your taste.
Limit your wastefulness.
As a young person,
Financial discipline is very important.
Take your excesses and limit your wastefulness.
I’ve said this before and some people started crying in my comments. I will say it again anyway.
Don’t rent a house that the annual rent is more than 4months of your salary put together. Except you truly have no alternative, or you can’t get another job, or you can’t get another house.
Otherwise, get a better paying job if you can, move cities if you can, get another house if you can, but please don’t bite more than you can chew just to keep up with the Joneses.
And don’t fool yourself.
Don’t lie to yourself. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t say you have no other alternative if deep down you know you do. Don’t live your life spending money you don’t have to please people who really don’t care.
Don’t buy a car with a loan that takes so much from your salary every month that you have almost nothing left- just because you want to post pictures and appear to be successful when you are not. Again, control your appetites, tame your excesses and limit your wastefulness.
The value of a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of material things he acquires. Work on your self esteem. Work on your sense of self worth. Work on that pathetic need to always seek validation from people who make you think you must drown in debt or spend money you can’t afford just to feel your life is not a failure.
The true failure is the person who spends money they don’t have, to fund a life that can’t afford, to buy things they don’t really need, just to please strangers who don’t actually care.

In 2020, IShowSpeed was reportedly kicked out of his mother’s house following arguments over how much time he spent streaming and yelling at video games. He moved in with his father and continued streaming every day, even when he had little to no audience.
The following year, clips of his streams and reactions to games like NBA 2K and Talking Ben began going viral on YouTube, rapidly growing his audience as he also lied about his age online. Speed would go on to become one of the biggest streamers in the world and even perform at the FIFA World Cup at just 21 years old.
