Is there a management issue or Divestment or what ?
Because I see Foodco, Justrite and other malls opening every other day.

What exactly is the issue with ShopRite

Shop rite over did the Mall concept. I saw this coming when they open in Ikeja. They should just have had only the mall in Lekki and had much smaller structures around Lagos and Nigeria

Final kicks of a dying horse.

U.S. and Israel are letting them run out of rockets while mapping out targets for extermination in the coming days and weeks.

Enough time has been given for surrender before everything will be gone: military equipment, fighters, scientists. What’s the point?

Ha ha ha. Bros you dey funny o ! We are letting hunger finish us so that we can show hunger who is boss.

Big name, one of the greatest sportman

You forget Kanu Nwankwo was his teammate and they the Nigerian fans had given Thierry the Title " Igwe ". Thierry would have run into so many Nigerians in his playing days in London. So he would understand the lingo.

The nightmare crystallized around 2023 in San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Villagers claimed armed patrols were needed after dark because these armored figures were hunting faces. The most viral story involves a teenager named Talia, who alleged two figures sedated her and started making laser-like incisions along her jawline before villagers scared them off. No bodies were found, no tech was recovered, but the story spread globally like wildfire.

The Peruvian Amazon faces illegal mining and exploitation. The idea of faceless, high-tech predators preying on isolated villages feels like a metaphor for being hunted by unseen, powerful forces. When officials suggested "illegal miners with jetpacks," it sounded absurd, deepening the mystery. Some link it to the Pishtaco mythoutsiders stealing body parts but this is a sci-fi remix for the digital age.

There's zero verifiable evidence. No clear footage, no confirmed aliens. Investigator Timothy Alberino found a terrified community but no smoking gun. Yet, that ambiguity is the point. It lives between "could be real" and "definitely a story." Ultimately, the Face Peelers are a modern urban legend born from viral algorithms and local fear. Whether they're aliens, black-ops, or just a collective nightmare, they've sparked global curiosity. So, enjoy the chill, but remember: behind the viral horror are real people and a very human need to explain the unexplainable. The Face Peelers might not be real, but the power of the story is 100% authentic.

No what are face impalers

The face impalers or face peelers were an unexplained phenomenon in the amazonian region in Peru.

humanity has a type. And for the last few hundred years, that type has been pale, brooding, nocturnal, and legally dead. I'm talking about vampires, obviously.

It's kind of wild when you think about it. If you told a peasant in 17th-century Eastern Europe that one day, teenagers would be plastering posters of a vampire on their bedroom walls and debating which undead boy is the dreamiest, they'd probably think you were the monster. They'd probably try to shove a stake through your heart just to be safe.

Because the original vampires weren't exactly heartthrob material. The folklore OGs were basically bloated, purple corpses that rolled out of graves to chew on their own families. They weren't seductive; they were gross. They were the physical manifestation of disease, rot, and the terrifying mystery of what happens after you die. There was no romance in a village elder turning purple and exploding when you stabbed him. That's just a Tuesday in a horror movie.

So, how did we get from rotting zombie grandpa to sparkling high school student?

You can thank the poets for that. In the 19th century, during the whole Romantic/Gothic era, writers like Lord Byron and Bram Stoker decided to give the vampire a glow-up. Suddenly, the monster had a castle. He had a cape. He had impeccable manners and a hypnotic gaze. Dracula didn't just want your blood; he wanted your soul, and maybe a dance. This was the moment the vampire became a metaphor for sex. In an era where talking about desire was taboo, having a count bite your neck was a pretty clear substitute for everything Victorians weren't allowed to do in public.

Fast forward to the 20th century, and the vampire became the ultimate outsider. Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire gave us Lestat and Louis—vampires who spent less time hunting and more time existentializing. They were gay-coded, punk-rock, and miserable. They turned immortality from a superpower into a curse. Who wants to live forever if you have to watch everyone you love die and listen to the same music for three centuries?

Then, of course, we have to address the elephant in the room: Twilight.

Look, you can love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. Twilight took the vampire and stripped away the horror entirely. These vampires didn't burn in the sun; they glittered like disco balls. They were vegetarians. They were basically just super-strong, cold-skinned boys with anger management issues. It was peak teen drama wrapped in supernatural packaging. Was it a bit cringey? Absolutely. Did it make billions? Also absolutely. It proved that the vampire myth is incredibly elastic. It can stretch to fit whatever the current generation is obsessed with. For millennials, it was abstinence and forbidden love.

Nowadays, the vampire is having another identity crisis, which is honestly my favorite era. We've got What We Do in the Shadows, which treats vampires like bickering roommates who can't figure out how to do dishes. It pokes fun at all the tropes—the capes, the hypnotism, the inability to enter a house without permission. It acknowledges that being immortal would actually be incredibly boring and annoying.

On the flip side, you have darker takes like Midnight Mass or Robert Pattinson's turn in The Batman (okay, he's not a vampire, but he's definitely leaning into the aesthetic). We're back to looking at vampires as metaphors for addiction, grief, and loneliness.

So why are we still obsessed? Why haven't we moved on to zombies or werewolves full-time?

I think it's because vampires are the perfect mirror. When we're scared of disease, they're plagues. When we're scared of sex, they're seducers. When we're scared of being alone, they're lonely immortals looking for a mate. They reflect our anxieties back at us, but with better fashion sense.

Plus, let's not overlook the practical appeal. No aging? Check. Super strength? Check. The ability to turn into a bat and skip traffic? Huge check. The downsides are pretty steep (sunlight, garlic, holy water, the moral dilemma of eating people), but humans are notoriously good at ignoring long-term consequences for a cool aesthetic.

At the end of the day, I don't think vampires are ever going away. As long as humans are afraid of death, obsessed with eternal youth, and looking for a metaphor for that thing we're too shy to talk about at dinner, the vampire will be there. Standing in the shadows. Wearing black. Waiting.

Just keep some garlic in your pocket, you know, just in case.
