Iran is not fighting this war only for Iran.
Understand that first. Absorb it. Because until you understand it, nothing else about this conflict makes sense.
Iran is fighting for the right of any nation on earth to exist outside the permission structure of Washington and Tel Aviv.
It is fighting for the principle that sovereignty is not something granted by empire, it is something inherent. And if it must be defended with blood, then blood is what gets spent.
Every country that has been sanctioned into poverty for daring to disagree.
Every government that has been coup'd out of existence for nationalizing its own resources.
Every leader who has been assassinated by a drone because he refused to make himself useful to someone else's agenda.
Every people told that their choices are submission or destruction.
Iran is fighting for all of them.
You don't have to like the Iranian government to understand what's at stake.
You don't have to agree with every policy, every ideology, every internal decision.
That's not the point.
The point is that a country of 90 million people has looked at the most powerful military and financial empire in human history, and said: no.
Said it for forty-seven years.
Said it under sanctions that would have broken most nations.
Said it while being threatened with annihilation on a weekly basis by countries with actual nuclear weapons.
The question this war is really asking is not whether Iran survives.
The question is whether any country is allowed to survive on its own terms.
That question belongs to all of us.
My gospel will always be your interest in me is your responsibility until it becomes mutual. If you show interest in me first, you need to give me a reason to become interested in you. I don't owe you the same level of enthusiasm simply because you've decided you like me.
Dear Black People/Africans.
This is how you respond whenever white people try to pass moral judgment or condemnation on any aspect of your culture.
Never you accept their lectures or judgement. They have NO moral authority to do so.
Pfizer attempted to hide the side effects of their covid vaccines for 75 years; a vaccine filled with SV40, which is used to make mice develop tumors. Same Pfizer with a dark history in Nigeria.
But vaccine marketer Aproko Doctor, who is not a Pfizer executive, or of any of the vaccines, neither is he on the team that developed any vaccine, has quickly set ring light to tell you vaccines are good.
One will think he learnt something from his embarrassing GMO defence.
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?

sinceramente, odio que hayamos normalizado la idea de que todas las opiniones son válidas. Creo que deberíamos volver a decirle a la gente que está mal informada y es ignorante.
Los hombres no quieren condones.
Los hombres no quieren vasectomía.
Los hombres no quieren aborto.
Los hombres no quieren criar hijos.
Los hombres no quieren pagar manutención.
Lo único que quieren es acceso ilimitado al cuerpo de la mujer y no asumir ni la mínima responsabilidad por ello.
The EU has banned TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) - an ingredient found in gel manicures.
This ingredient is a "photoinitiator", which allows gel polish to cure under ultraviolet (UV) light to make the varnish more durable and hold its colour for longer.
Several animal studies have linked the chemical TPO to long-term fertility damage and reproductive issues.
It has just been reclassified as a Category 1B CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) substance with reproductive implications.

Neanderthals (Wh!te people)
Literally uncivilized subhumans keeps doing that.
Gun powder was used only on occasion of celebration for centuries in China until those White people touched it n the first thing that came to their minds was killing machines.
Wh!te people invented n used atomic bombs on humans
Wh!te people used chemical weapons for mass killing in Libya, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Iraq, etc.
Wh!te people are deploying Ai as weapons
Yet, they say Iran having a nuke is a threat lol
They are the Alliens that invaded the earth n seek to destroy it.
The original story actually showed that that captain had to hold a gun to the men to stop them.
Originally, the men were actually getting on the boat and abandoning the women and children including their own wives and children.
Men often times have to be forced or threatened to do the right thing.
This has been proven time and time again over history including creating laws to prevent men from marrying and raping children.
Sou contra o voto masculino. Homens tem mais tendência em financiar guerras, cometer violência e fazem parte de 98% dos crimes. Na política são os que mais estão em casos de corrupção e são os q mais apoiam casamento infantil. Homem não deveria votar!
