@chess24com The highest rated player @GMHikaru in the #FIDECandidates seems to be the weakest player in the tournament. @FIDE_chess needs to change this qualifying process that allowed Hikaru to qualify denying players like @ArjunErigaisi and NORDIBEK ABDUSATTOROV
Used Perplexity Labs to analyze the #FIDEGrandSwiss 2025 starting today in Samarkand.
Here are the top 3 contenders, with winning chances and reasons. ๐งต
@buypowerng is it not wrong that we cannot reach your support team for more than 5hours??? Paid for power debited my account but no value til now.what kind of service is this??? @Gidi_Traffic@NERCNG
@PeterObi Baba issuing press statements mean absolutely NOTHING and you did same thing when you said your election was stolen. Exercise your rights by peacefully protesting. The current president did that during occupyNigeria. We tired of ALL these write write abeg! Rivers state Fubara
@IkengaImo All yarns and statements NO ACTION! I donโt have a DOG in this fight. Opposition parties and the people of Rivers should take their destiny into their hands! If Nigerians feel the energy, they might decide to support!
If Apostle Paul were to write a letter to the Nigerian church.
The First Epistle of Paul to the Church in Nigeria
Chapter 1: Verses 1-7
Paul, an apostle not of cash but of Christ, to the high-flying, luxury-loving, Instagram-verified believers in Nigeria: Grace, peace, and enough data to post your Sunday service selfies.
1. Brethren, I write with concern, for I have heard of your impressive works โ the shiny new cathedrals, the convoy of SUVs parked outside, your Private Jets, and your designer suits that dazzle the eyes of both man and angel alike.
2. You say, โSee how the Lord has blessed us!โ But I fear you have confused blessings with bling.
3. Indeed, your pastors stand upon marble pulpits, preaching the gospel of 'Name it and claim it' โ though I wonder if theyโve claimed the humility of Christ.
4. They say, โThe deeper the pocket, the nearer to God.โ But I ask, is it so? Did our Lord not say, โBlessed are the poor in spirit,โ not the poor in Versace?
5. Now, concerning your preachers, I have heard they can spot a millionaire from the back row. And when the man, who gave the largest offering, is discovered to be a man of questionable means, your pastors say, โTouch not the Lordโs anointed wallet!โ
6. Yes, you have mastered the art of canonizing the corrupt. With one hand you bless their pockets, and with the other, you ignore their sins.
7. But what fellowship does righteousness have with ill-gotten wealth? The same men who steal from the poor are given the front seats in your congregations, while the honest and humble sit unnoticed, wondering if their faith is lacking because their bank accounts are not overflowing.
Chapter 2: Verses 1-7
1. But brethren, do not be deceived by these shiny distractions. For I hear your pastors now measure faith by the square footage of your mansion and the model year of your car.
2. They declare, โIf you are not rich, something must be wrong! Your destiny is under attack! Perhaps it is your village people, perhaps you need more seed money. Sow now, and your miracle will arrive in 3-5 business days.โ
3. And yet, I ask: when did the gospel become a financial investment plan? Did Christ not warn us about the dangers of loving money?
4. And oh, the churches! Everywhere I turn, I see another one sprouting like ATM machines, each competing for customers, er, congregants. You have built five churches on one street, but none in the places where the gospel has not been preached.
5. You multiply branches, not because of a burning desire to save souls, but to collect more offerings.
6. Oh, I know you are busy building the kingdom, but which kingdom, exactly? The one with streets of gold in heaven or the one with private jets and designer clothes here on earth?
7. You preach prosperity while the widows and orphans you are called to serve remain outside your gates, waiting for someone to share the true riches of the gospel.
Chapter 3: Verses 1-7
1. Now, brethren, I do not wish to sound harsh โ after all, who am I but a humble tentmaker? Yet, when I see the extravagance of your ministries, I must ask: when did the gospel become a luxury brand?
2. You preach, "God wants you to prosper!" but forget to mention that He also wants you to love your neighbor, not outshine them.
3. Is it not written, โThe love of money is the root of all evil?โ Yet I see you watering that root daily with your prosperity doctrines. You have become gardeners of greed, sowing seeds of selfishness, and reaping a harvest of hollow wealth.
4. I hear your pastors exclaim, โGive, and it will be given unto you!โ but I see no baskets of bread for the hungry, only baskets of offerings for the pastorโs next Rolex.

Their is now a cure for Sickle Cell. This is why we need to invest heavily in our education, and also invest in researches in Nigeria.
We can discover solutions to many diseases and challenges we face in Nigeria. We can also export our solutions to solve the world problems.
Education will save our society!
South Africa's ๐ฟ๐ฆ Julius Malema, who quit the ruling African National Congress to form a radical leftist party, could potentially become a kingmaker or even deputy president if the #ANC loses its majority in Wednesday's election as polls suggest.
But the prospect of the ANC co-opting Malema and his Economic Freedom Fighters #EFF to stay in power strikes fear into investors and the white upper-middle class he rails against.
Malema's promises to nationalise the country's gold and platinum mines and seize land from white farmers are among proposals they fear threaten not just their privileges but also Africa's most industrialised economy.
His pledge to redress persistent racial and economic disparities resonates with his constituents which include tens of thousands of unemployed, disenfranchised urban Black youths and middle class students struggling to afford fees or graduates unable to find decent jobs in a stagnant economy.
Born the son of a domestic worker for an Indian family in Limpopo, north of Johannesburg, Malema was politically active from a young age and rose through the ranks to ANC Youth League president in 2008.
He founded his breakaway party after the ruling ANC suspended him as youth leader in 2011 for "sowing division".
In a nation in which the main populist issue is hostility towards migrants from other African countries, his party is the only one that seeks to repeal policies that hinder the free movement of Africans.
