This was One of my all-time fave childhood cartoons. It was released in the late 90s but started airing on Silverbird TV in the early 2000s.
It Followed the high seas adventures of Captain Red Beard & his crew on their ship - The Black Falcon
Who else grew up watching this?
I enjoy the Catholic Mass. The relationship between the first reading and the Gospel.
Today, the First man Adam couldn't overcome the temptation from the serpent.
Then the Second Adam, Jesus Overcame the temptations. You can see the correlation.
As a Catholic, always find the link between the First reading and the Gospel.
The First reading is usually from the Old Testament.
Dear Nigerians we are in court today for the second hearing of the case of our Sister Ugochi who was raped and strangled to death in her room.
Please put us in your prayers.

When i see tweets like this, i always laugh because a whole lot of you are very ignorant about how the system works.
Let me school you on the reality of that "14-Day of no men" fantasy.
You think if men disappeared for two weeks, you’d finally 'breathe'?Lol. You are imagining a world where everything still works, lights, water, internet, just without the men. But you're forgetting that these things are controlled, managed, and built by mostly men.
Now allow me school you on what would happen if men disappeared for 2 weeks.
Day 1-3: The Supply Chain Snaps
Do you know that over 90% of truck drivers and logistics crews are men?
Cities only hold about 3 days' worth of fresh food.
The moment the 18-wheelers stop moving, panic buying starts and before 3 days, existing stocks are cleared and by Day 3, you aren't 'walking peacefully at 3 AM' because you'll be too busy guarding your pantry because there is no food coming to restock the store.
Day 4-7: The "Scent" of Sisterhood
Do you know who manages the sewage treatment plants and garbage dumps?
Without active crews to clear blockages and manage waste pressure, the systems back up.
Trash piles up on the streets. Toilets stop flushing. The 'fresh air' you wanted to breathe now smells like shit and rotting garbage. Hygiene diseases begin to spread.
Day 8-10: The Lights (and The Internet) Die
The Power Grid does not work on girl power. it requires constant, active load balancing by engineers in control rooms.
When those men vanish, safety systems trip. Blackout.
No AC. No refrigeration for your spoiling food. No internet to tweet about your freedom.
Day 14: The "Protection" You Forgot
You asked, 'Protect us from who?'
Protect you from Entropy.
If a fire starts in your apartment complex, who is manning the heavy rig to put it out?
The truth is the world will go into chaos without the other gender and
Civilization is a Maintenance Project.
You are safe to fantasize about a soft life only because invisible men are doing the dirty, dangerous, and exhausting work to keep the lights on.
A world without men is a world not worth living
Why are you people falling for this gimmick nah, if Cubana is so influential politically, why his brother no win last election?

The question you asked was exactly what I asked myself when I first entered the University of Ilorin campus as a 100-level student. I looked at the road stretching from the school gate to the academic area, twisting and turning, and I wondered: "Why stress us?
Why didn't they just pave a straight line that would link us directly to the Faculty of Education?" Several people gave me funny responses. In fact, some even said it was for aesthetics, others said it was to prevent overspeeding.
It wasn't until I got to 300-level and was introduced to Engineering Survey that I got the answer. It's a technique called Gradient Management.
If you build a road straight up a steep hill like that, the slope becomes too sharp. A car engine has limits. If the road is too steep, vehicles will struggle to climb, and heavy trucks will roll back. Coming down is even more dangerous because gravity will pull you down so fast that your brakes might fail.
To fix this, we intentionally make the road longer and windy to reduce the steepness. Think of it this way: It is easier to walk up a gentle ramp that wraps around a building than to climb a straight ladder. Winding the road spreads the height over a longer distance, making the climb gradual and safe for engines.
Also, a straight line through a mountain means you have to blast through solid rock or fill up deep valleys, which costs billions. And as you know, following the natural contours of the land is not only safer; it is way cheaper.
So in short, we are just using Geometry to defeat Gravity. You get?
At the beginning of his General Audience today in the Paul VI Audience Hall, Pope Leo XIV lit a candle, prayed and sang the Ave Maria of Lourdes before a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, on this her feast day.
This morning they took electricity around 1am, too late to get fuel for the generator. I had to physically fan my daughter till she fell back to sleep because of the heat
It’s 2026 and I’m paying taxes yet you’re asking why I’m protesting?
Are we even normal at all?
