The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
There's so much Nigerians abroad need to learn from Asians. Whether with running food retail stores or restaurants.
This is why I don't patronize Nigerian restaurants abroad.
Wtf is your jollof rice £30? That's buffet for 2 at a Chinese restaurant.
Greedy greedy people.
I'm taking my evening walk in one of the beautiful cities in southern Italy 🇮🇹 - I bump into two street performers and I was pleasantly pleased with the song they were vibing to.
Skalo, blown boy. #ShakeBody
1. Our skeletons are wet.
2. your nose is ALWAYS in your line of sight, but your brain ignores it
3. When you receive a donated kidney, they don’t take out the bad one. They just add the good one in.
4. Your immune system doesn't know you have eyes. Otherwise, it would attack them and make you blind. injuring one eye can introduce eye bits to the bloodstream and basically give your immune system the knowledge of having eyes. then it might decide it really fucking hates that and attack your non-injured eye.
5. The quality of the male sperm is responsible for morning sickness, preeclampsia, baby’s gender and almost every single pregnancy related issue.
6. You breathe through one nostril at a time. Don’t believe me? Put your finger below your nose and try.
7. The brain itself has no nerve endings, so it can’t feel pain. That’s why patients can be wide awake during brain surgery and made to perform certain actions.
8. That ringing in silence isn’t silence
When everything is quiet and you hear a faint ringing?
That’s your brain listening to its own nervous system.
You are hearing yourself functioning.
9. You will never experience your own death.
You only experience approaching it… Then nothing.
Everyone else gets closure, stories, funerals, and memories.
You don’t.
You never know you’ve become a memory.
From your perspective, the story just stops mid-sentence.
This set a terrifying precedent for parents everywhere. A Canadian father, Robert Hoogland, was thrown in prison for trying to prevent his 14-year-old daughter from undergoing permanent medical transition. After schools socially transitioned her behind his back and courts authorized testosterone injections against his wishes, the state stripped him of his parental rights. When he refused to remain silent about the medical risks and the loss of his child, the government moved to silence him by force. https://t.co/3kK4Jotk6n
Hoogland was sent to prison for "contempt of court" because he defied a gag order that forbade him from referring to his child as his "daughter" or using female pronouns. By treating his desperate plea to protect his child as a criminal act, the court signalled that the state, not the parent, owned the child.
This is nothing less than the criminalization of parenthood in the face of state-sponsored gender ideology.
Many of you watched my videos in late 2023…
But what you didn't know is that in many of those videos, I was blind.
In late 2023, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
I went from seeing well to becoming partially blind.
But the work couldn't stop.
We had brand commitments, and videos that we had to shoot.
So there I was, in front of the camera, unable to read the script in my hand.
My manager had to read the lines out to me, line by line.
We did take after take.
It got to the point that even my videographer couldn't use the professional lights because my eyes were too sensitive to the brightness.
It was just four of us then:
Me, my manager, videographer, and writer.
They became my eyes when I didn't have mine.
A few days ago, as the director yelled "Action" on a new shoot, I paused.
And then I remembered that I could now see it all.
I'm not just grateful for the vision.
I'm grateful for the people who held the vision when I couldn't see it.
Sometimes, you don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
But more importantly, you don't know how blessed you are until you have people who will be strong for you.
The picture below is from when I checked into the hospital immediately after finding out there was a tumor in my brain.
@DanielRegha In a law-abiding society like mine, by now those accused who have face the law, at least by now they would've been questioned and thorough investigation ongoing, and people will see this and be rest assured. But in a lawless country like yours, I guess people are tired of silence
