Watch the moment the husband of Mrs. Rachael Alamu, the principal abducted by bandits in Ogbomoso, breaks down in tears while pleading with Governor Seyi Makinde, who visited Oriire LG, to hasten the rescue operation for his wife and others.
@XBrianDennis@Deshysmalls How is India the benchmark for the cinema industry? Imagine leaving your house to come sit in a place like this for like say 1/2 hours? Those chairs do not scream I am comfortable.
I am currently reading a book titled the The Stableboy of Auschwitz. This is the same way the Jews genocide started.
South Africans are teaching their kids hate. It won’t go well, this path that they have chosen to take.
Tensions flared in Cape Town, South Africa, after a group of Xenophobic South African schoolchildren reportedly caused chaos and protested, demanding the removal of foreign children from their school.
@Tofunmithedev@de_shinor TEDx are independently planned events by groups or people in a particular niche. They probably used her because she’s a creator and the creator economy blah blah blah.
@tajjackson3@Danladi_IB@nypost I don’t see any reason why the Jackson family shouldn’t be eager about cashing in. If not Michael Jackson’s family who else ought to be? Stacy should mind her business and it isn’t the Jackson’s fault that she doesn’t have a family member that can rake in cash.
During the Nigerian Civil War, many Igbo people fled cities like Lagos, leaving behind houses and property. Alex Ekwueme (then a young architect) left his house in Apapa.
His neighbour, Otunba Subomi Balogun, a banker did not seize the property. Instead, he removed intruders from the house, renovated it and rented it out while Ekwueme was away.
He carefully kept all the rent proceeds.
When the war ended and Ekwueme returned, Balogun handed back the house to him and gave him a full envelope of all the rent collected
Ekwueme was reportedly shocked, because many others lost their properties during that period.
About a decade later, Ekwueme became Vice President under President Shehu Shagari (Second Republic, 1979–1983). Subomi Balogun wanted to establish his own bank but faced significant hurdles at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Officials resisted because it was unprecedented for a private Nigerian citizen to own a commercial bank without foreign partners; there were also political suspicions (some alleged he might use it to finance certain politicians).
After failing to get traction through official channels, Balogun turned to his old friend. One Sunday after Church Service, he and his wife "cornered" Ekwueme at the Cathedral Church in Marina, Lagos. They physically grabbed Ekwueme and his wife's clothing to get past security and plead their case.
Ekwueme listened, reassured him, and instructed him to come to the Federal Executive Council meeting he would preside over (as Shagari was absent).
That very Thursday, the Finance Minister called Balogun to confirm that the license had been approved on Ekwueme's instruction.
This paved the way for FCMB and reportedly opened doors for other indigenous banks.
Balogun later opened an FCMB branch in Ekwueme's hometown of Oko (Anambra State) in continuation of their friendship.
We love ourselves, it is the politicians that are dividing us.
@Tvaninks@mycryptoday2026@ISWISPodcast People like to act like they don’t feel a little bit of jealousy when they hear other people have what they want.
You cannot stop that feeling. What you do with it is what makes you a good or bad person.
@mycryptoday2026@ISWISPodcast She isn’t jealous in the type of way that she wants to snatch the man. She wants something like that. Not the exact thing.
