“Less than 32% of registered voters decided the @NigBarAssoc election.”@MadukaOnwukeme speaks on @ARISEtv, raising concerns about the conduct of the NBA election, the reported technology failure, and the alleged disenfranchisement of many lawyers.
Watch and judge for yourself.
When I got this message yesterday, I couldn’t believe it. I was like: Haaa a whole 52 copies of THE LITTLE MUSLIMS’ JOURNAL? Just like that?!!!! See in this life, just be good to people, your own grace will find you. 🙏🙏
If you haven’t picked up a copy of THE LITTLE MUSLIMS’ JOURNAL, it’s not too late to do so. A copy is 30,000 and it will be delivered to you anywhere you are. Even if you don’t have kids yet, trust me, it’s worth buying for any kid in your family, neighbourhood or as a gift for any kid.
Crab your copy now!!!!!
Más de 7.400 muertos, la mayoría civiles. Cientos de hogares, colegios y hospitales destruidos. Un incremento generalizado de los precios y miles de millones de euros en pérdidas, también en Europa. Este es el saldo que ha tenido el conflicto en Irán.
Confiamos en que el acuerdo de paz anunciado hoy sirva para poner fin a este sinsentido, que sea respetado por todas las partes, y que marque así el inicio de una nueva etapa en Oriente Medio.
Celebremos. Pero no olvidemos. Y aprendamos de una vez por todas que la guerra es un fracaso. El diálogo y la diplomacia son el único camino.
Facts everyone is ignoring:
1. The Arabs are more racist than the Europeans.
2. Until the African continent gets better, no black person anywhere in the world no matter how successful you are will be respected or seen as an equal to the white man.
3. Isreal is the problem. They’ve always been. Whether you vote democrat or republican, Tory or Labour, Reform or Restore, they all serve the interests of the zionist entity. Your vote is useless.
4. African Leaders contribute 95% to the failure and nonfunctioning of the African economies. Majority are thieves, puppets of the imperial west, old and visionless crooks.
5. China is positioned to become the world hegemon by 2050. If the world is still here in one piece. The USA will never go to war with China. They’ll lose in 2 weeks unless it goes nuclear, then we are all dead.
6. The British Empire is responsible for 70% of the world’s problems due to its colonial past. There’s no single problem anywhere in the world that you can’t find their trace. It’s also the most successful empire in the history of the world.
7. Islam will dominate the world by 2090. This is because, liberal woke ideology will take over the west, Christianity will virtually be overtaken by the woke left. Many people will just become agnostic or atheists. Islam will be the only last masculine group left to defend the honor of men and women.
8. Elon Musk will venture into weapons manufacturing and he will become the world’s number one weapons manufacturer.
9. IQ is a skewed metric against the third world. It has nothing to do with race, it’s about environment, and its impacts on a child’s growth. Literacy rates are low because the third world hasn’t gotten the basics right; thanks to the imperial west and their puppet governments they have installed. If you want to see this play out, look at sports, it’s dominated by black and brown people, look at scholarship students who study in the West, they are the best, they outcompete and outperform everyone else.
10. Don’t ever forget #3.
There are two principles from childhood I learnt.
1 in Ile Kewu. To be careful to mock people (for their misfortunes) hence, to be tested with that same issue"
2. The Yoruba proverb, that Tí ojú bá fara balẹ̀, á rí imú"
"If the eyes can be patient and calm enough, they will see the nose."
Which leads me to Obidients and their touted structure of criminality.
It used to be the common retort that other parties were terrible, and that some leaders would wake up and hand tickets to whomever they pleased. "Tinubu for example would decide in his bedroom , who got what?
"We don't want Baba Sope Politics"
Obidients have been herded like cows, from LP to ADC and finally to NDC.
In NDC, Ex-Bayelsa Governor Seriakhe Dickson is the Tinubu of the party, and decisions are taken in his house.
Everybody behaves in Dickson's house including initially garrulous Obidients, because he cuts the pie.
Yesternight, Dickson informed supporters that, they should not even think of NDC Senatorial primaries at all. They have decided to give Grandma Pam.
Aisha Yesufu, like other Obidients who used to mock INEC for announcing 2023 Presidential results in the night, announced the "consensus" decision too in the night.
The funniest thing is seeing throngs of candidates inside Dickson's house pleading and asking for direction on party primaries.
"Yes sir" "okay sir"
The kind of grovelling that doesn't even get seen inside Tinubu's Bourdillion.
Even Obi clamps his hands inside Dickson's parlour.
How can you abuse Tinubu and APC for imposition, only to go and experience formal in-your-face Baba Sope inside Dickson's sitting room in NDC.
Any which way, don't end up a Matanmi that is deceiving himself.
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
Months after initiation of war on Iran, US Congress acknowledges loss of dozens of aircraft worth billions.
Our powerful Armed Forces are confirmed as 1st to strike down a touted F-35.
With lessons learned and knowledge we gained, return to war will feature many more surprises.
Iran must ... and must ... and must ....
But then what?
🔸️Will Germany halt the export of German technology to Iran?
🔸️Will it block financial transactions with Iranian entities?
🔸️Will it impose sanctions on Iranian officials?
🔸️Will it place Iran’s formal military branch on its so-called “blacklist”?
🔸️Will it dispatch warships it does not possess to the Strait of Hormuz?
The truth is, #Germany has already done everything it could against #Iran.
Perhaps it is time to try a different approach: respect.
Respect for the Iranian people and their national interests.
OPINION: If Plateau’s Illegal Arms Factories Belonged to Fulani Militias, the World Would Be Burning
By: Zagazola Makama
The discovery of another illegal arms factory in Plateau State should have shaken the conscience of the nation. But it did not. Not because the development was insignificant, but because it did not fit the preferred narrative carefully marketed for years by crisis merchants, foreign lobbyists, and politically interested actors feeding off the Plateau conflict.
Imagine for a moment if troops had uncovered three illegal arms factories operated by Fulani militias in their harmlet in Plateau within three weeks. Imagine if security forces had recovered fabricated AK-47 rifles, welding machines, recoiling springs, ammunition shells and weapon components from settlements associated with Fulani groups. By now, international media would be flooded with headlines screaming “genocide.” Foreign NGOs would issue emergency alerts. U.S. lawmakers would hold hearings. Social media activists would demand sanctions on Nigeria. Naked women and youths would occupy streets in Jos. Protesters would occupy the streets of Abuja, Washington and London. Religious organisations would organise prayer marches and global petitions. Every recovered rifle would become proof of an alleged grand conspiracy to wipe out Christians.
But reality can be inconvenient. Troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) raided illegal arms manufacturing sites in Vom, Jos South LGA, and arrested five suspects linked to Berom militia networks. Recovered from the factories were fabricated AK-47 rifles, weapon skeletons, revolver components, magazines, welding machines and industrial tools used for weapon production. This was not a rumour. This was not social media speculation. These were physical weapons recovered by troops during a live operation.
Yet the silence has been deafening. No outrage from the usual activists. No emergency press conferences. No sermons condemning the proliferation of illegal arms within Plateau communities. No viral hashtags. No candlelight protests. No foreign NGO reports warning about ethnic militias manufacturing weapons. The same voices that quickly amplify every allegation against Fulani groups suddenly developed selective blindness.
This is the uncomfortable truth many do not want discussed openly: Plateau’s crisis is no longer a simplistic black-and-white story of innocent victims versus faceless attackers. Armed militias exist on multiple sides of the conflict. Weapons are being manufactured locally. Revenge attacks are organised. Narratives are weaponised. Communities arm themselves while simultaneously presenting themselves exclusively as helpless victims before the national and international audience.
And that is exactly why the crisis has persisted for decades. The dangerous part is not merely the weapons themselves. The dangerous part is the ecosystem protecting the narrative. An ecosystem where facts are filtered through ethnicity and religion before they are accepted. An ecosystem where the deaths of some victims generate global outrage while the deaths of others barely earn a mention. An ecosystem where propaganda travels faster than truth.
Over the past months, security operations in Plateau have exposed repeated evidence of armed local militias, reprisal cells, illegal weapon possession, and coordinated attacks hidden beneath carefully crafted emotional narratives. Troops have recovered weapons from local youths. Active shooters were seen in viral videos previously circulated as evidence of “attacks.” Security personnel have repeatedly intervened to stop reprisals between communities. Yet these realities rarely make international reports because they complicate the preferred storyline.
"Let's just arm one more group of moderate rebels... It'll work this time; I can feel it!" This is the gamblers fallacy in action.
Graham is laying the groundwork for decades of chaos and blow back terrorism. The concept of sending arms to the locals sounds good at first but has never served our long-term interests.
Our efforts to "arm the people" of governments we don't like led to the rise of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, every Shia militia in Iraq as well as the destabilization of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen, just to name a few.
I say this as a former Green Beret and CIA Paramilitary Ops officer who has been involved in these operations- they simply don't work in the long run.
There is no military solution to our conflict with Iran, POTUS should stop listening to those who have not updated their thinking since 2003 and get us out of this mess before we are sucked further in.
“Our hemisphere” is just empire with deodorant.
Rubio talks about Panama’s sovereignty after Washington openly threatened Panama into obedience.
First the mob boss breaks your windows.
Then he says he is protecting your property.
If the U.S. gets to claim the Western Hemisphere as its backyard, then stay out of Asia.
No bases.
No carrier groups.
No Taiwan meddling.
No South China Sea lectures.
Otherwise spare us the sovereignty sermon.
You do not defend sovereignty.
You put a leash on it and call it freedom.
Let’s stop overcomplicating it.
The U.S. is negotiating as if the war never happened.
Iran is negotiating as if the war changed everything.
That is the entire problem.
Washington wants Iran to accept terms it could have accepted before the war.
Tehran believes it paid the price of war and earned better terms.
A deal lies somewhere in the middle with slight tilt towards Iran.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Hoy, con el presidente Xi Jinping he constatado que el vínculo entre España y China sale reforzado tras este viaje oficial.
En un mundo cada vez más incierto, España apuesta por una relación UE-China basada en la confianza, el diálogo y la estabilidad.
Debemos seguir avanzando hacia un orden multipolar construido desde el respeto y el pragmatismo.
Es para mí un honor recibir el Premio We the Peoples de la @unfoundation.
Y lo es, porque supone un reconocimiento a todos los españoles por nuestro compromiso con la paz, la justicia internacional y la cooperación.
Somos un gran país. Y así nos ven desde las Naciones Unidas también.
