The West Called Me A Dictator Because I Gave Africans Their Land Back – Robert Mugabe In this excerpt from his powerful speech at the 62nd United Nations General Assembly in 2007, revolutionary icon and former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe (1924 – 2019), calls out the West’s hypocritical slanders against his administration, and offers a stern history lesson on why the West is in no moral position to criticize Africa. Since enforcing its historic 1992 Land Acquisition Act in 2001 – which aimed to return Zimbabwean land stolen by European criminals to its rightful, African owners – Zimbabwe has faced endless sanctions from the West. Western media has continued to purposefully ignore the inevitable effects of these sanctions, pinning all of Zimbabwe’s problems on “corruption” and “bad leadership”. As Africans, we must draw on Mugabe’s wisdom to understand the real forces fueling our current economic, social and political problems. The same forces that once sold us like livestock.

Here's a good cognitive test:

The Cuban Missile Crisis is taught in American schools as the moment the world almost ended because the Soviets put nuclear weapons in Cuba. It is almost never taught as: The moment the United States discovered what it felt like to have nuclear weapons pointed at it from nearby, which was the permanent reality of every Soviet city that had lived under American nuclear targeting from bases in Turkey, Italy, and Britain for years before the Cuban deployment. The Soviets put missiles in Cuba specifically because the United States had missiles in Turkey pointed at Soviet cities. Kennedy's team knew this. They negotiated a secret deal: the Soviets would remove the Cuban missiles, the Americans would remove the Turkish missiles. The American removal was kept secret from the public for decades because admitting it would have revealed that the resolution of the crisis was a mutual concession, not an American victory, and that the Soviet position had a strategic logic that American audiences were not supposed to understand. The lesson taught to American children: Soviet aggression. American resolve. Crisis averted. The lesson the Soviets drew: We deployed the weapons. We achieved the withdrawal of the Turkish missiles. We established that the Americans will negotiate when the cost becomes real. The lesson for everyone watching: Deterrence works in both directions. That is why the powerful try so hard to ensure it only flows in one.

So how do we know some of these people aren’t men?

“President Tinubu and his aides would not have insulted the Sultan of Sokoto if he had been the one who made the statements by Cardinal Onaiyekan. We're being insulted because we're Christians.” - Chief Rotimi Amaechi, ADC Vice Presidential Candidate.

The fact that drone operators can make out the hairstyles of their victims before firing is an extremely haunting thought, given how many children have been hit with drone strikes in Gaza and Lebanon. Some person saw the child and pressed fire anyway.

I commend the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) for demonstrating courage and patriotism by drawing attention to the realities confronting our nation. Their concerns regarding the rising cost of living, worsening insecurity, declining public confidence, and the hardship faced by millions of Nigerians are neither partisan nor isolated; they reflect the daily experiences of ordinary citizens across every region of our country. Nigeria is blessed with abundant human and natural resources, yet millions of our people continue to struggle under the weight of economic hardship, unemployment, insecurity, poor access to quality education and healthcare, and diminishing opportunities. These challenges demand urgent, sincere, and people-centred responses from those entrusted with leadership. I encourage all well-meaning Nigerians to continue constructively engaging the Federal Government and other leaders at all levels whenever the opportunity arises, advocating for good governance, accountability, and policies that prioritise the security, welfare, and prosperity of our people. It is through such collective commitment and responsible leadership that we can build a more peaceful, united, and prosperous Nigeria. May Almighty Allah continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. - RMK

If Nigerians drag Pastor Adeboye. Neutrals - This is why I can't vote for Peter Obi. If Tinubu's official media team drags the Catholic Bishops. Neutrals - 🔒 Silence everywhere. Nobody links the character of appointed spokespersons of Tinubu to Tinubu, but they link random handles to Peter Obi. Isn't that fraud?

Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

Happy 65th birthday, Barack Obama! A Nobel Peace Prize winner who ramped up drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, left Libya in ruins, fueled Syria's proxy war, and backed the 2014 Maidan revolution in Ukraine Thanks, Obama

Today is war criminal Barack Obama’s birthday. In 2009, Haiti’s🇭🇹 parliament passed a significant minimum wage increase to around $5 per day improve conditions for its working class. Obama intervened to force Haiti to keep the minimum wage at $0.31 per hour. His administration was concerned that the minimum wage increase to the poverty wage of $5 a day would raise costs for US companies sourcing garments from Haiti.

“I love playing for Nigeria, but you have to pay for your own flight. 😭You get to the hotel and there’s no electricity. You wash your own kit, the pitch is only half grass, and if you make one bad pass the coach is screaming at you. 😂 But I love the food.” — Alex Iwobi

The APC e-rats find it easy to forge anything because they have a mentor at the top. First: CYON is the CATHOLIC YOUTH ORGANISATION OF NIGERIA, not an "ASSOCIATION" as written by these idiots. Second: Its motto is "LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE", not "Christ Our Light" as the forgers wrote. Third: The website they used does not exist. Fourth: If indeed it was written on behalf of all Diocesan/Parish bodies, it should carry the name and signature of the National Secretary. It is the height of shamelessness that these e-rats are so desperate for legitimacy that they now forge church documents. A party of frauds, led by frauds, defended by frauds. Nigerians see through this charade.

The Catholic Laity Council of Nigeria has released a press statement about the appalling disrespect meted out to His Eminence John Cardinal Onaiyekan by the brainless attack dogs of the presidency after the highly respectable bishop spoke truth to an incompetent delusional govt.

The father of the lady who died in David Umahi’s house said that Umahi is threatening him. Listen for yourselves. Omo 😳
