Today my thoughts are with Joshua Mollel, 21yr-old agriculture student from Tanzania. Hamas savages racially abused him then executed him on the spot on #October7. Dragged his body into Gaza and Kept him for over 700 days. Israel took him home at the end for him to rest in peace.
I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea.
Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.
Not people thinking been racists is only to some folks on the right. Some on the left will display racism and present it as sugar. Overall, my view on racism is not specific to been left or right but to the individuals displaying this condemnable act.
Friends, when voices today praise tyrants like Mao Zedong, we must take them at their word. History teaches us a clear lesson: when God is taken out of the equation, basic human rights go out the window. It’s time for my fellow co-believers to speak up.
Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?
i realized something recently
bernie sanders and AOC have damaged the fabric of america immensely but we rarely talk about it
bernie/AOC have vilified successful businessmen & women. calling CEOs like elon musk, bezos, zuck evil. yes these people have shortcomings - but they are also truly self made, come from normal/humble backgrounds. with hard work they created trillions in economic value. isn’t that a fundamental part of what america is about? the land of opportunity?
in the 2000s when i was in elementary school, bill gates and steve jobs were viewed as role models. our teachers taught us about how much they achieved + given to society. these CEOs were actually respected and i believe this culture brought up a generation of ambitious hard working americans
now, kids are being taught that working hard and becoming a billionaire is evil. we’re essentially telling them to have victim mindset and stay poor
i know bernie/AOC & crew are never going to take responsibility. i can’t even tell if they realize what they’re doing
Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program.
During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people.
Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program.
This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools.
We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.
"..bogus claims of a Christian massacre." Whoever/whatever wrote this should be ashamed of himself/herself/itself. Stay away from Al Jazeera. It's a propagandist MSM dishing out fake news everyday to fit their narratives. They have long lost the balance akin to journalism.
Trump and Nigeria appeared headed for a clash over bogus claims of a Christian massacre. Now Nigeria is getting US security help — and using it to fight its own security battles https://t.co/BNglseSM0Z
After AFCON @thenff should humble themselves and bring back Gernot Rohr. Looking back now and seeing how low we have gone. Man over achieve with the kind of players and @thenff administration he had.
There are a lot of click bait individuals. Once they run out of contents, they invent new conspiracy with no evidence. Their evidence: "Because they are capable of doing this, then they did it." Blocked a lot of people lately.
@yusufksd10@yakubwudil This should be the least of your worries. Try submitting a competitive application. Not sure you need 'IQAMA' to submit your application.
There are a lot of misinformation and fake news in the media. Sometimes, even from local and international organizations, and individuals who I'd think should know better. It's unfortunate. Everyone has an agenda. All forms of media are guilty of this plague.
