Sometimes I endure putting them in my bag or pocket even oily nylon walking up and down looking for where to put it just because I don't want to litter the area. No public dustbin, no waste management.
As well as I want to blame Nigerians for throwing trash anyhow, the question we need to ask ourselves is that what is the alternative. Anytime I bought goods like food e.t.c. I always look around for dustbin, but no where to be found even in government buildings.
Nigerians want Nigeria to be like the US and the UK, but look at how they litter the environment around them.
They throw trash on the ground, block drainages, and dump waste into flowing canals.
Then they turn around and complain that Nigeria is not like the US or the UK.
When you have a high number of low-IQ people these are the consequences.
There is a high concentration of people making poor decisions that affect everyone else.
You cannot continuously destroy your environment and then expect first-world results. It does not work that way.

Today, Governor @DapoAbiodunCON will commission the Ogun State Drug Management Agency (DMA) Warehouse — a landmark investment that will transform how medicines and critical health commodities are stored, managed, and distributed across Ogun State health facilities.
Facilitated through support from the Global Fund, the state of the art facility provides over 1,000 square metres of modern storage capacity and brings multiple supply chain functions under one roof, including a dedicated cold room and specialized storage systems for sensitive medical products.
But this project is about far more than a building.
The DMA serves as the backbone of Ogun State’s health commodity supply chain, ensuring that quality-assured medicines, diagnostics, vaccines, and medical supplies reach health facilities efficiently and on time. Through improved inventory management, real-time tracking, coordinated procurement, and strengthened accountability, the Agency is helping to reduce stock-outs, minimize wastage, and combat the circulation of substandard and counterfeit products.
With this new warehouse, Ogun State is strengthening its ability to:
✅ Ensure uninterrupted availability of essential medicines and health commodities;
✅ Improve inventory management and supply chain visibility;
✅ Support timely distribution to primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare facilities;
✅ Enhance preparedness and response during public health emergencies;
✅ Deliver greater value for money through efficient procurement and logistics management.
This is critical health infrastructure that will directly impact the lives of millions of residents by ensuring that the right medicines are available, in the right quantities, at the right time.
As Governor Dapo Abiodun continues to build a more resilient healthcare system, this investment reinforces Ogun State’s commitment to accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare for every resident.
The warehouse and the DMA are not just about storing medicines, they are about ensuring that no health facility is left without the supplies needed to save lives.
Let me tell you a story I told my wife. Tola was my coursemate and the leader of Man O' War at OAU that year. It was our final year, and I went to his room to get a course handout. I barged in and said, “Ah werey, how far?” He was sitting on his bed, and next thing I saw, he was punishing two guys standing in the room with a headstand or something. He didn’t talk to me.
After 3-4 minutes, he asked them why they allowed a civilian to barge in and approach him like that. Hot piss first catch me. I tried to say, “Tola, na me ooo,” but he didn’t respond. Next, the two boys walked me out and told me to knock, then they would let me know if he wanted to see me. As soon as I left, I went back to my room.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 China sanctioned Marco Rubio twice. Now it has changed the spelling of his name in Chinese just so he can enter the country.
- Beijing altered the transliteration of Rubio's surname to bypass its own sanctions, making him the first sanctioned U.S. Secretary of State to visit China
- China had previously imposed sanctions on Rubio over his criticism of Beijing's human rights record

A 15-pound honey badger can survive a cobra bite that would kill a full-grown man in under two hours. Then it finishes eating the snake. A biology grad student at the University of Minnesota wanted to know how. She needed badger blood to find out, and the only samples she could get were from two American zoos in San Diego and Indiana.
What she found in the DNA was one tiny change. There's a small socket on your muscle cells that your nerves plug into to tell your muscles to move. Cobra venom kills you by jamming that socket shut, so your lungs stop working. The honey badger's socket has a swapped-out amino acid that gives it a positive electrical charge. Cobra venom is also positively charged. Like magnets pointing the wrong way, the venom gets pushed off before it can lock in, and the muscles keep firing.
The same workaround showed up separately in hedgehogs and pigs. Mongooses got there too, with a slightly different molecular trick. Four different animals with no shared ancestor all arrived at the same solution because venomous snakes kept biting them for millions of years.
That only covers snakes like cobras and mambas. Puff adders work differently, destroying tissue instead of paralyzing muscle, and the DNA trick doesn't help there. So when a puff adder lands a solid bite, the badger collapses into a kind of coma for two or three hours. Then it wakes up groggy and eats the snake anyway.
The skin is maybe the unfairest part of all this. It's about a quarter inch thick, rubbery, and so loose it fits like a wetsuit two sizes too big. A lion can clamp its jaws on a honey badger and the badger will twist halfway around inside its own skin and start clawing the lion's face while still in its mouth. Bee stingers barely get through. Porcupine quills don't either.
Which brings us back to the bees in that photo. They're annoying. A few sneak through to the face, and enough stings have killed honey badgers in the wild. Honey badgers still die. But they're running three different defense systems at the same time, and one of them is a genetic lottery ticket evolution has pulled four times.
President Trump was truly a business man. Can afford to close one channel knowing fully well another us been constructed as well as test allies and foe alike. "Sodiki"
The United States did not withdraw from Syria. The United States privatized Syria. The man President Trump installed as the sovereign face of the Hormuz bypass architecture was on the Specially Designated Global Terrorist list with a ten million dollar American bounty on his head six months before he signed the contract with Siemens.
On February 23, 2026, the last US convoy rolled out of Qasrak base in Hasakah province, ending the 2014 era ground mission. Five days later, Operation Epic Fury opened the bombing of Iran. On March 30, Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former emir of Jabhat al-Nusra whose nom de guerre was Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, stood in Berlin with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and watched his Energy Minister sign two memoranda of understanding with Siemens Energy at its headquarters. A Qatari consortium led by UCC Holding, with Power International USA and Turkish firms Kalyon and Cengiz as partners, reserved gas turbine manufacturing slots from Siemens for the Zayzoun and Deir Ezzor combined cycle plants, one thousand megawatts each, part of a five thousand megawatt eight station concession signed November 6, 2025. Two weeks after the Berlin visit, on April 13, Trump announced the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Al-Sharaa said at the Berlin business forum that Syria’s geography qualifies it as a safe and reliable hub for supply chains linking the Gulf and Eastern Mediterranean to European markets. He added that it should not take a war to reveal that Syria is a secure corridor for energy flows, and that routes must always be diversified. He had announced fifty nine billion dollars in investment commitments in the preceding year. The United States had removed him and his interior minister Anas Hasan Khattab from the SDGT list on November 7, 2025, three days before the first Syrian presidential visit to the White House since 1946.
The architecture is now visible. Trump could afford to blockade Hormuz because Syria was already being reconstructed as the parallel pipe. Germany, which refused to send warships to reopen the strait calling it not our war, is financing the grid that makes the strait optional. Qatar, which hosted the ideological incubators of the movement al-Sharaa commanded, is the general contractor. Siemens, which built the turbines for Nord Stream 1 before the pipeline was blown up in September 2022, is supplying the machinery for the Mediterranean replacement. Chevron signed a separate MoU with the Syrian Petroleum Company and UCC for Syria’s first offshore oil exploration. Power International USA sits inside the consortium Trump publicly praised.
This is verification cost inversion applied to geography. Instead of paying a navy to defend a chokepoint, the United States installed a rehabilitated former al-Qaeda commander to operate a second one that answers to a different flag. The ground occupation became a flow contract. The one thousand American soldiers who left Hasakah in February were replaced by a thousand megawatt Qatari power plant in Deir Ezzor built with German turbines under an American president’s personal blessing. The sovereign the United States was hunting for five years is now the sovereign the United States needs alive to make the blockade of Hormuz sustainable.
Every empire eventually discovers that it is cheaper to rent the chokepoint than to garrison it. The United States just rented one from a man it put a bounty on.

Ìṣẹ̀ṣẹ, the Yoruba traditional religion, does not have a concept of hell, eternal damnation, or a devil (Satan) in its original cosmology.
Yoruba people believe that the wicked will suffer exponentially for all their evils before they die. All they built with evil will crumble in their lifetime.
If they somehow escape it, they are reincarnated as humans or other beings to reap the negative rewards of their deeds in the previous life. It continues like that until they have suffered for their evil deeds in exponential order.
The good ones whose life were truncated would return to live a happy life. At the end of the happy life, they assume ancestorhood.
{This is to the best of my personal understanding. I stand to be corrected}
North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003 and conducted nuclear tests in 2006. It now possesses ballistic missiles and several nuclear warheads that threaten the entire US mainland and could wipe out major cities like New York and Los Angeles. Yet, the US has not threatened war, focusing instead on Iran.
Medically, pig parts have saved many human lives — pig heart valves are used in human transplants, and pig-derived insulin treated diabetes until the 1980s.
Fact about Pork (Pig Meat)
Pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world, making up about 34–40% of global meat consumption (ahead of beef and behind poultry in some stats).
#HealthyLiving#foodfacts
Pigs (Fact about Pig you do not know)
Often ranked among the smartest animals, with intelligence comparable to a human toddler or higher than many dogs in some tests.
They can learn their names quickly, recognize other pigs by touch, play with toys, form best friendships.
China is the top producer and consumer, eating roughly half the world's pork. Global pork production was approximately 121 million metric tons (Mt) in 2024
Pigs reach market weight (100-120kg) in just 6–7 months from birth, making pork production efficient.
Major Achivement Under Recent Administrations (Especially 2019–Present)
The most transformative phase has come through the Ogun State Economic Transformation Project (OGSTEP)—a World Bank-supported initiative launched to diversify the economy and modernize agriculture.
