Floky215:
They normally castrate their slaves and when they have used them and worn them out they eventually behead them...

The Arabs were very cruel to their black slaves...
More slave went I tother Arab world compared to the west, but the Arabs made sure with their systematic castration and beheading, only a handful survived ..
Shed more light on this with appropriate references

How Can 20 Million Slaves in Arabia Just Disappear from History?

It’s a question that keeps haunting me.

Slavery in the Middle East didn’t end centuries ago—it persisted officially until the 1960s and 1970s in countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman.

An estimated 10 to 20 million Africans were trafficked across the Red Sea and Indian Ocean into Arab lands over the centuries—men, women, and children.

So here’s the question:
Where are their descendants?

How can millions of people vanish without cultural recognition, political acknowledgement, or societal visibility?

Where are the monuments?
The reparations?
The museums?
The national days of remembrance?

Unlike the Atlantic slave trade, which left behind visible Black populations in the Americas—where is the Afro presence in the Middle East?

Is this erasure deliberate?
Is it driven by racism, denial, shame—or something else?

We need to talk about this.
We need to ask why entire populations have been written out of history.

Because if 20 million Black lives can be forgotten once—what stops it from happening again?

Do you know about Afro-Iraqis, Afro-Iranians, or Afro-Saudis?
Have you ever seen their stories reflected in mainstream narratives?
Why is their history still hidden?

Let’s stop pretending this isn’t part of our collective past.

Konquest:
Obviously he got F9s in his exams in high school and retook his papers in order to get into the Uni and graduated with a 3rd Class. The lessons learned is the key takeaway here for anyone.

I've known full well from reading advanced business books for over 35 year now that those who use more of their creative intelligence over their analytical intelligence (or book knowledge) are the wealthiest people in the multimillionaire and billionaire league on earth today and this is based off of well-established studies in wealth creation. This is why some well-read Professors are NOT as wealthy as some of their former not so academically-inclined students who went on to monetize problems around them by providing solutions. There are other variables for success and wealth creation aside from the two aspects of creative intelligence and analytical intelligence but I'll stop here.

Last but not least, the ability to develop the creative aspect of your intelligence is the key to legit wealth creation through identifying opportunities ASAP and taking advantage of them through monetization. Period

Declaration of State of Emergency in Rivers Without Suspending FCT Minister Will Escalate Crisis — PeacePro

The Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro) has warned that the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State without suspending the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will escalate the political crisis rather than mitigate it.

This follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State in response to the escalating political crisis that has threatened governance and stability in the state.

As part of the emergency measures, President Tinubu suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. The president also appointed a sole administrator, Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (retired) to oversee the affairs of the state during the emergency period.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by PeacePro's Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the organization noted that the FCT Minister is a member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), which President Tinubu has said will be responsible for approving the actions of the Rivers State sole administrator.

Hamzat argued that allowing the FCT Minister, who is a key player in the ongoing political conflict in Rivers State, to remain in office while the FEC oversees the state’s administration would create a perception of bias and undermine public trust in the federal government’s handling of the situation.

"The FCT Minister’s involvement in the Rivers State crisis raises serious concerns about fairness and impartiality. For the state of emergency to be seen as a genuine effort to restore peace, the government must avoid any appearance of favoritism or conflict of interest. Suspending the FCT Minister would help create a neutral environment necessary for effective conflict resolution," the statement read.

PeacePro emphasized that the success of the state of emergency depends on the federal government's ability to maintain neutrality and fairness.

Hamzat urged President Tinubu to demonstrate a strong commitment to peace and justice by suspending the FCT Minister and ensuring that all decisions related to Rivers State are made without undue influence.

PeacePro further called for inclusive dialogue involving all stakeholders to address the root causes of the conflict and establish a framework for sustainable peace in Rivers State.
