Look at the animals that brought in buhari into power
This is what I mean when I say, Nigerians are unserious when they say focus on your leaders
The same leaders who are
Moving with this kind of evil
Someone somewhere paid to make sure you get a slow weak man for a president
We have a long way to go as a nation
The Benin Wall and Moat โ The Benin kingdom moat "Iya" linear structure, the world largest man-made earthworks, prior to the mechanical era.
In Benin Kingdom, oral history and European explorers, recorded the hight and greatness of the Benin wall and how both the wall and moats formed a strategic defense for the imperial city and adjourning towns.
Little is recorded about the vast network of moats that stretched across the major towns and villages in Benin Kingdom. Extending to the kingdom's frontiers, these earthworks were linked, either directly or indirectly, to the great moat surrounding the imperial city, forming an intricate maze of routes leading to the ancient city. Beyond their defensive function, the moats also served as reliable landmarks, guiding travelers, youths and merchants on their journey to the capital for the first time.
In Ancient Benin Kingdom, at the age of 14 a young boy is admitted into the eroghae age-grade in a public ceremony, he remains in the otรบ for the next 15years "throughout their teen age". They perform the duty of a non-specialized messenger class of citizen and one of their major duty was the distribution of yearly collection of agricultural produce of their various village/town to the palace or to the household of their chiefly sponsor in the palace. The moat acted as guide to this young ones guiding them to the city, through their sojourn.
โ ๏ธ In 2004, serial rapist Akku Yadav terrorized a slum in India for over a decade.
He raped dozens of women, murdering at least 3, and walking free every time thanks to police corruption.
On August 13, while appearing for a bail hearing, around 200 women (many his victims) stormed Nagpur District Court armed with kitchen knives, stones and chili powder.
They threw chili in his eyes, stabbed him over 70 times, hacked off his penis with a vegetable knife, and left him dead on the courtroom floor.
They will never have waist beads to get job in an Oil company, Gas or Tech.
No beads to get shares and stocks in Tesla, Google or Nvidia.
No waist beads to become secretary of United nations or OPEC
Always beads to get gifts from men.
Such a useless product

Before I was writing checks, I was braiding hair.
When I moved to the US as a student, braiding was how I paid my way through school. Hours in a chair, hands cramping, a full day gone for one client. I know this industry from the inside.
So when I saw that Yinka Ogunbiyi just raised $7M to commercialize HaloBraid, the world's first patented braid assist robot, I had to stop scrolling.
A few things stood out to me.
This is not a "replace the stylist" story. HaloBraid is built as a cobot. The human still parts the scalp, sections the hair and sets the foundation. The robot takes over the repetitive mid shaft weaving that eats up roughly 80% of a knotless braid appointment. Then the stylist finishes and styles the ends.
The demand is already proven. Over 7,000 salons are on the waitlist before this has even scaled.
And @sevensevensix, @alexisohanian firm, led the round, with @alley_corp and @blingcapital backing it too. Seeing investors I deeply respect put capital behind this tells me something: smart money is catching up to what millions of Black women and their braiders have known for decades. This industry is massive, physically brutal on the people who run it, and it has been overlooked for far too long.
Braiders develop carpal tunnel, arthritis and spinal strain from doing this for years. Almost nobody talks about that. A tool that cuts appointment time in half is not just a convenience play, it could add years to someone's career.
We keep hunting for disruption in the flashiest categories. Meanwhile, some of the most meaningful tech is quietly showing up in the "boring" service businesses that touch millions of people every single day.
What other "unsexy" industries do you think are next?
People are suffering economic hardship. Healthcare issues are bankrupting families. Our future as a nation is uncertain, but your preacher thinks fictional Superman is a demon. That is his preaching priority.
I now understand why this guy made this video.
An Amazigh man stands proudly beside his tame Barbary lion in the Tadla region, deep in the heart of Morocco ๐ฒ๐ฆ. Until the early 20th century, the majestic Atlas lion roamed freely across the country's mountains and plains. In some Amazigh communities, lions were sometimes raised by humans as powerful symbols of courage, honor, and the unique bond between people and nature. Today, the Barbary lion has disappeared from the wild, with its last confirmed sighting in Morocco dating back to the 1940s. Only a small number of its descendants remain in captivity, most notably at the Rabat Zoo. Although the lion no longer walks Morocco's landscapes, it continues to live on through the nation's identity. It remains a powerful symbol featured in Morocco's heritage, royal emblem, and the nickname proudly carried by the national football team: the Atlas lion.
