Politics › Re: 35 Military Officers Including 33 Northerners Detained Over Alleged Coup Plot by BlackViper: 7:29pm On Jan 27
There were only 2 non Igbo officers in the January 1966 coup. All the rest were from the then Eastern Region

Dalohad:
I can see some Yoruba Muslim followers of that drug sniffer begging their ancestral spirits to include an Igbo name therein.. grin

That Igbo name would be worth more than the Yoruba officer from Osun and all other northern officers on the list., as it will help their anti-Igbo propaganda as we approach 2027 elections.. grin

We saw how they twisted the propaganda in the Jan 15 coup in 1966 and tagged it an 'Igbo coup'. Carefully removing the names of the Yoruba and Northern officers who actively participated in that coup.

At the end, one of the Yoruba officers Maj. Adewale Ademoyega honourably wrote a book 'Why we struck' to dispel the rumour that it was an 'Igbo coup'. Vindicating the Igbos.

A book that many propagandist Yoruba writers hate to reference till today..

Posterity is a great judge.. grin

Foreign Affairs › China’s Top General, Zhang Youxia, Faces Death Penalty For "Spying For America" by BlackViper(op): 6:14pm On Jan 27

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw9RMb6UlMM?si=8m0j5ZX3Kr0aKOld

China’s senior-most general,Zhang Youxia, is accused of leaking information about the country’s nuclear-weapons program to the U.S. and accepting bribes for official acts, including the promotion of an officer to defense minister, said people familiar with a high-level briefing on the allegations.

The briefing—attended on Saturday morning by some of the military’s highest-ranking officers—came just before China’s Ministry of National Defense made the bombshell announcement of an investigation into Gen. Zhang Youxia, once considered Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s most-trusted military ally. That statement gave few details beyond a probe of severe violations of party discipline and state laws.

But the people familiar with the briefing—which hasn’t been reported until now—said Zhang is under investigation for allegedly forming political cliques, a phrase describing efforts to build networks of influence that undermine party unity, and abusing his authority within the Communist Party’s top military decision-making body, known as the Central Military Commission.

Authorities are also scrutinizing his oversight of a powerful agency responsible for the research, development and procurement of military hardware. Those familiar with the briefing said Zhang was alleged to have accepted huge sums of money in exchange for official promotions in this big-budget procurement system.

The most shocking allegation disclosed during the closed-door briefing, the people said, was that Zhang had leaked core technical data on China’s nuclear weapons to the U.S.

Some evidence against Zhang came from Gu Jun, the former general manager of the China National Nuclear Corp., a state-owned company that oversees all aspects of China’s civilian and military nuclear programs, said the people familiar with the briefing. Beijing announced an investigation into Gu last Monday for suspected severe violations of party discipline and state laws.

During Saturday’s briefing, authorities revealed that the probe into Gu has linked Zhang to a security breach within China’s nuclear sector, the people said. Details on the breach weren’t disclosed during the briefing, the people said.

Zhang, 75 years old, and Gu couldn’t be reached for comment. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Liu Pengyu, a spokesman at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said the party’s decision to investigate Zhang underscores that the leadership maintains “a full-coverage, zero-tolerance approach to combating corruption.”

Some analysts say Xi’s latest crackdown on corruption and disloyalty in the armed forces marks the most aggressive dismantling of China’s military leadership since the Mao Zedong era.

Like Xi, Zhang, a member of the party’s elite Politburo, is one of China’s “princelings,” as the descendants of revolutionary elders and high-ranking party officials are known. Zhang’s father fought alongside Xi’s father during the Chinese civil war that led to Mao’s Communist forces seizing power in 1949, and both men later rose to senior roles.

“This move is unprecedented in the history of the Chinese military and represents the total annihilation of the high command,” said Christopher Johnson, head of China Strategies Group, a political-risk consulting firm.

Saturday’s internal briefing also linked Zhang’s downfall to his promotion of former Defense Minister Li Shangfu. Zhang allegedly helped elevate Li in exchange for large bribes, said the people.

Li’s own downfall began in 2023, when he disappeared from public view and was later removed as defense minister. The party expelled him the following year for corruption. Li couldn’t be reached for comment.

In a sign of the depth of the current probe, Xi has commissioned a task force to conduct a deep-dive investigation into Zhang’s tenure as commander of the Shenyang Military Region, which spanned five years from 2007 to 2012, said some of the people familiar with the briefing. The team has now arrived in the northeastern city of Shenyang, they said, notably choosing to stay in local hotels rather than military bases, where Zhang would have a network of support.

Authorities have already seized mobile devices from officers who rose through the ranks with Zhang and Gen. Liu Zhenli, chief of the Joint Staff Department, whose investigation was also announced Saturday, some of the people said, as thousands of officers with ties to the men become potential targets. Liu, 61, couldn’t be reached for comment.

The downfall of Zhang and Liu expands Xi’s yearslong push to clear out officers deemed corrupt and politically unreliable.

The purging of even one of Xi’s personal friends, Zhang, shows that there now are no limits to Xi’s antigraft zeal, said Johnson, the China Strategies Group head who served at the Central Intelligence Agency for two decades, including as a top China analyst.

“Xi sought to avoid a wholesale cashiering of the top brass in the early years of the anticorruption campaign” by not targeting active-duty senior generals and key parts of the military such as the strategic-missile force, Johnson said. “He later realized that was impossible, and this move is the denouement of that process.”

Analysts say the opacity of China’s political system makes it difficult to ascertain Xi’s precise motivations for liquidating a longtime ally in the Chinese military, known as the People’s Liberation Army, or PLA. Internal explanations provided to the party elite—such as those in Saturday’s briefing—don’t always reflect the complete or true motivation behind Xi’s decisions.

Even so, a Saturday editorial by the PLA Daily, the military’s flagship newspaper, indicated the importance of political factors in the case against Zhang, whom the newspaper accused of having “severely trampled on and undermined” the institutional basis of the CMC chairman’s authority. This suggests that “Zhang had too much power outside of Xi himself,” said Lyle Morris, senior fellow for foreign policy and national security at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

The party has emphasized that Xi, as CMC chairman, has ultimate authority over the military and represents the party’s command of the armed forces, Morris said. “So, highlighting such a violation suggests that Zhang was out of step with Xi’s chain of command.”

Regardless of the reasons, Xi’s decision to cast out Zhang shows he “is confident in his consolidation of power over the military,” Morris said. “It’s not a sign of weakness, but of strength, for Xi.”

By decapitating the command structure, said some of the people familiar with the briefing, Xi is signaling that rampant corruption, entrenched patronage networks and the compromise of state secrets are existential threats to his goal of gaining control over Taiwan, the democratically self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its territory.

However, some analysts say, the resulting hollowing out of the senior ranks is likely to affect combat effectiveness and could lower the immediate risk of a cross-strait invasion as Xi pivots to a more calculated strategy. Beijing appears to be looking first to make a deal with President Trump on Taiwan as the two superpowers prepare for high-stakes negotiations on trade and security matters this year. Any wavering by Trump on Taiwan’s security could shake Taipei’s confidence in American resolve.

Since the summer of 2023, the party has unseated top officers in China’s army, air force, navy, strategic-missile force and paramilitary police, as well as major theater commands—including the one focused on Taiwan. More than 50 senior military officers and defense-industry executives have been placed under investigation or removed from office in the past 2½ years, according to official disclosures reviewed by the Journal.

The Central Military Commission had six professional military members when its current term started in 2022. Now it has just one active uniformed officer, Gen. Zhang Shengmin, who was promoted to vice chairman only in October after the purge of another general who held that role. Unlike Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, who are combat veterans, Zhang Shengmin has served as a political officer and discipline inspector for the bulk of his career, responsible for enforcing loyalty and boosting morale.

“Given the size and complexity of overseeing any large and sophisticated military organization, this vacuum at the top is untenable,” said M. Taylor Fravel, director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He added that it was “bound to have an impact on the PLA’s current readiness to undertake major, complex military operations in the short to medium term.”

They didn't "bribe the US". They hired a firm of private lobbyists to lobby on their behalf.

Unfortunately for them, they forgot that lobbying will not work because for the Americans, allowing a country the size of Nigeria to fall into the hands of Jihadists will be a grave error and carries great risks for the destabilisation of Africa.

Eradicating islamism in Nigeria and Africa in general is actually a top priority for the Americans.

Education › Pretty Lady Celebrates Her Degree In Yoruba Language by BlackViper(op): 3:58pm On Jan 26
A short story?🫣

I was transferred after I didn’t meet the requirements for CLA ( Communication & Language Arta). At the time, I didn’t want to accept the transfer because I was ignorant of the purpose and benefits of studying Yoruba. Isn’t it a native language we all speak? I thought.

Then my granny spoke to me. She advised me to take it, explaining that there were many opportunities, both at home and abroad. I only agreed when I was told I could cross over in 200 level, so I took it. It was a real challenge at first, despite being a Yoruba girl.

I[b] then realized that I didn’t know much about the language I was born into. With the help of my lecturers and fellow students, I gradually found my footing. Looking back now, I can confidently say these have been the most insightful four years of my life.
[/b]
At the end of my first year, I told my mum I didn’t want to cross anymore, even though I took and merited 6 electives from the department I initially intended. She advised against staying, saying she didn’t believe there were many opportunities for a Yoruba graduate.

I applied for the transfer. With a CGPA of 3.49 (UI uses a 4-point system), I qualified, but my department refused to sign me off.

It was a bittersweet moment. I loved studying Yoruba, but I also feared the judgment of ignorant people.

I stayed committed to the course till the end, and in the process, I learned so much, grammar in both English and Yoruba, phonology, morphology, literally every aspect of linguistics. I truly had the best of both worlds.

Then there was the literary side of Yoruba: the novels, the poems we analyzed, so beautiful. You really have to experience it yourself.😭

And the cultural aspect? Guess who learned to chant in just one semester. I got to act too. I learned the history of Yoruba and the deities.

Everything I know now has not only shaped me academically but has also deeply influenced my personal life. And I’m glad to share it with the world. Oh, we haven’t received our final CGPA but I’ve been on first class since 200L, hopefully it doesn’t drop when results are released.

Forgot to mention, we got to coach/interact with students from University of Michigan via zoom.
Also, I’m open to opportunities related to my degree. Thank you.
🙏🏿

Music/Radio › Court To Airtel: Pay ₦210M For Unauthorised Use Of Mbanefo's Nigeria Go Survive by BlackViper(op): 11:33am On Jan 26
BREAKING: Court Orders Airtel Nigeria To Pay N210Million For Unauthorised Use Of Veteran Singer Mbanefo’s ‘Nigeria Go Survive’

The Federal High Court, Ikoyi, has ordered Airtel Nigeria to pay Two Hundred and Ten Million Naira (N210 million) to Veno Marioghae Mbanefo for copyright infringement.

Presiding Judge Honourable Justice Ibrahim Kala handed down the judgment after finding that Airtel Nigeria unlawfully used Mbanefo’s song, “Nigeria Go Survive,” without her authorisation.

The ruling marks a significant legal victory for the artist and underscores the enforcement of intellectual property rights in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.

In September 2022, the singer sued the telecommunications company, Airtel Network Limited for “unauthorised use” of her musical work.

In a statement sent to SaharaReporters at the time, the veteran singer said she “found out a few months ago, that Airtel had been using my song, ‘Nigeria Go Survive,’ to market their products, using their telemarketing numbers, without my permission.

“Following the discovery, I contacted my lawyer, Rockson Igelige of Felix, Igelige and Associates, who promptly wrote to them. Rather than look into our authentic claim, they responded by not only denying all culpability, but also defamed me and threatened criminal charges against me.

“We then took our case, backed by our witnesses, IT & Evaluation Specialist and evidence, to the Nigeria Copyright Commission which began an investigation into our claim.

“While the criminal investigation into our claim is still on, my lawyers and I are, however, filing a civil suit against Airtel on 23/9/22 at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos to show how they have flagrantly not only infringed on my copyright by using my song without permission, but have also brazenly denied all responsibility, despite all evidence.”

The veteran artiste earlier in a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Airtel Network Limited, Ikoyi, Lagos, accused the telecoms company of using her song, ‘Nigeria Go Survive’ to promote its TV app and ‘The Voice Nigeria’, without her permission.

The letter signed by her lawyer, R. A. Igelige Esq asked the telecoms company to “cease and desist forthwith from further infringing on the copyright of our Client to the aforementioned musical work”.

It also asked Airtel to “pay to our client the sum of N50,000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) for the unauthorised commercial and also derogatory use of her musical work”.

“Take notice that if we do not receive an adequate response within 21 days of receipt of this letter, we shall take all proper steps to seek legal remedy for our Client, including legal action for injunctive relief, criminal charges and damages, without further notice to you.

“We look forward, however, to your prompt response towards an amicable resolution of this matter,” it added.

The letter read in part, “We are solicitors to Veno Marioghae Mbanefo (our Client), a musician and entertainer residing in Lagos and we write this letter on her behalf.

“Our Client is the author and copyright owner of the musical work entitled ‘Nigeria Go Survive’ being used by your Mobile Network Company (Airtel) to promote your TV app, and also to promote ‘The Voice Nigeria.’

“Our Client’s attention has been drawn to your use, without permission or licence, of her aforementioned musical work. Specifically, you have appropriated the work to promote your TV app and also used it to advertise ‘The Voice Nigeria.’”

“By not obtaining our Client’s prior permission or licence before engaging repeatedly in this act or acts, your company’s conduct is a flagrant and deliberate infringement of her copyright. It also amounts to stealing and wilful deprivation with the intent to unjustly enrich your company and deny our Client of the legitimate fruits of her labour, thereby inflicting hardship on her,” her lawyer added.

Travel › Immigrant Who Stole $100 Million Jewelry Deports Himself To Evade Trial by BlackViper(op): 11:46am On Jan 24
US immigration authorities allow suspect in $100M jewelry heist to self-deport before trial

Federal immigration authorities approved the self-deportation of a suspect in a $100 million jewelry heist, allowing him to avoid trial and escape potential prison time.

Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, 42, was one of seven people charged last year with following an armored truck to a rural freeway rest stop in California and stealing diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies and designer watches in July 2022, which is believed to be the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history.

Flores was facing up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipments and theft from interstate and foreign shipments. He pleaded not guilty.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Flores late last month after he asked for a voluntary departure, prosecutors said in court filings.

The jewelers that the suspects stole from are also seeking answers from immigration authorities.

"When a defendant in a major federal theft case leaves the country before trial, victims are left without answers, without a verdict, and without closure," Jerry Kroll, an attorney for some of the jewelry companies, told the Los Angeles Times.

Flores' attorney, John D. Robertson, motioned to dismiss the indictment against his client, asking for the charges to be permanently dismissed and for the case to be closed.

Federal prosecutors said they still want to bring Flores to trial, asking for the charges to be dropped "without prejudice" to allow for a future criminal prosecution.

While Flores was a lawful permanent resident and released on bail, he was transferred to ICE custody in September, according to court filings. Federal prosecutors said they were unaware he had an immigration detainer.

Robertson argued that this violates his client's criminal prosecution rights and justifies his motion to dismiss his case.

Flores requested deportation to Chile during an immigration hearing on Dec. 16, according to court documents. The judge denied his voluntary departure application but issued a final order of removal.

He was then deported to Ecuador.

"Prosecutors are supposed to allow the civil immigration process to play out independently while criminal charges are pending," federal prosecutors wrote in their motion opposing efforts to dismiss the case. "That is exactly what they did in this case — unwittingly to defendant’s benefit in that he will now avoid trial, and any potential conviction and sentence, unless and until he returns to the United States."

Immigration officials would typically inform prosecutors what was happening if a criminal defendant had immigration proceedings against them. In minor cases, a defendant can sometimes choose to self-deport instead of facing prosecution.

Former federal prosecutor Laurie Levenson said what happened in Flores' case is highly unusual, particularly because of the significance in this case.

"It's just beyond me how they would deport him without the prosecutors … being in on the conversation," Levenson told The Associated Press. "This really was the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing."

The jewelry heist was carried out in July 2022 after the suspects stalked a Brink's tractor-trailer leaving an international jewelry show near San Francisco with dozens of bags of jewels, according to the indictment. The victims reported more than $100 million in losses, but Brink's said the stolen items were worth under $10 million.

According to a lawsuit filed by the security company, one of the drivers was asleep inside the vehicle and the other was grabbing food inside the rest stop when the thieves broke in.

Islam › Re: Salafis Are Not Takfeeris! by BlackViper: 12:04pm On Jan 23
From what I know about Islam, only a high ranking scholar can make a declaration of takfeer (heresy).

So who is this Muhammad Awwal Ali Jabata? Is he just a local champion, or does he have any universal influence amongst the global ulammahs? He would probably be regarded as a half baked Abeed by Arab scholars😂

Secondly, you're not being honest when you say that Salafis don't refer to other Islamic sects as heretics. Maybe the ones in Nigeria dare not do it because they have to follow the authority of their Arab masters. But elsewhere like in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia etc Salafis are the experts at declaring other Islamic sects to be heretical.

Lukgaf:
SALAFIS ARE NOT TAKFEERIS

By
Ibn Abdillah As-sudaisiy Al-Iloori
29th June, 2020

Linking Salafiyyah or Salafis to Takfeer is one of the most unjust positions I have seen in recent times. It is true that some takfeeris wrongly ascribe to Salafiyyah. But they are far from it. The scholars have clarified this severally in their work from time immemorial.

Even with the fitnah we are going through, go to any reliable Salafi gathering, scholars are busy teaching the foundations of Islām as they teach the Qur'an. They explain the deviations of the various deviant sects in a way that will be very clear and unambiguous, using the works of past scholars; such as Imām Ahmad, Imām ul-Barbahaaree, Ibn Taymiyyah, Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdilwahhaab رحمهم الله and so on.

So, the reality of the takfeeris is not hidden. They are well known to any serious salafi and it is an area many students of knowledge always run away from. They have their origin in the way of the Khawaarij (those who remove people from Islām due to sins or bid'ah of lesser grade). Even as glaring as the evils of the Sufis, Shi'as, ikhwaanees etc. are, you cannot find any salafi scholar making blanket takfeer of them. Now, compare this with the gatherings of Muhammad Awwal Ali Jabata and his gullible followers who remove people from Islām without justification. They only teach their followers what they can use to remove people from Islām, based on their distorted explanation of the verses of the Qur'an and hadiths. That is why to them, the only condition for being a Muslim is for you to be part of them.

According to their dangerous Takfeeri ideology, once you are not following the fikrah (thought) of Muhammad Awwal Ali Jabata, then you are not a Muslim. They have even made takfeer of all Sunnis that are not with them. So, how can they be linked with Sunnah or Salafiyyah? This is not Salafiyyah, it is ignorance and thuggery of the highest order. The Sunnis have called on the Ulamaa in Ilorin severally to take decisive action on this people before they grow into another Boko Harām as their ideology is not far from that of Muhammad Yusuf and his followers. Intead of taking action on this, some people are shielding him due to his origin. The Sunnis have called for his programs on radio to banned, yet some radio stations are still entertaining him. It is very sad.

Linking Salafis to Takfeer is like linking Islām with terrorism just because Al-Qaeda, As-shabab, Boko Haram etc are Muslims. These are some of the prominent Khawaarij groups in our time. They might be Muslim depending on the extent of their deviation, but there is no doubt about the fact that they do not in any way represent Islām. They do not represent the Sunnah. They are going against the roots and foundations of Islām in many ways. They are misguided and they misguide their gullible followers.

Sports › Lucas Hernandez Charged With Human Trafficking by BlackViper(op): 9:42am On Jan 23
PSG defender Lucas Hernandez and his partner have been accused of human trafficking and exploitation by a family of Colombian workers.

The left–back, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, is said to have employed the family of five to work as his security and babysitters from September 2024 until November 2025.

But according to the family's lawyer Lola Dubois, Hernandez, 29, and his partner Victoria Triay hired them without the relevant legal status and had them working up to 82 hours a week with no days off.

Hernandez and Triay both vehemently deny the allegations and say they have been 'betrayed'.

The daughter of the family told French outlet Paris Match that she was contacted by Triay while working as her nurse in Colombia. Triay is alleged to have offered her a job and 'promised' official documentation which would legally allow her to work within six months.

But the daughter – who was later joined by her mother, father, and two brothers – claimed that this was never forthcoming and that they were subjected to gruelling working conditions which saw them receive 'insufficient' compensation.

'An entire family is deprived of its rights,' lawyer Dubois told Paris Match. 'Without employment contracts, they are not entitled to unemployment benefits or adequate social security coverage.

'Yet, this is a professional football player, surrounded by numerous lawyers, both in his private life and at his club. The fact that he never bothered to provide them with an employment contract demonstrates the intent behind the offence.'

The family were said to have only been paid in cash and – after allegedly signing confidentiality agreements in February 2025 – received fake identity cards.

According to Dubois, the family were later offered official employment contracts by Hernandez in October last year – following an argument between the daughter and Triay.

'These are documents drawn up at the last minute in an attempt to regularize the situation. They state that they worked as part–time, multi–skilled employees,' Dubois said.

The contracts allegedly stated that the family worked around 86 hours per month, for a gross monthly salary of €1,029 (£896).

There were also claims made by the daughter that the family 'risked our lives' for Hernandez and his partner, particularly during an attempted burglary at the footballer's home in December 2024, during which the family's father allegedly shot a gun in order to make the robbers flee.

Hernandez's agent told Paris Match that he and Triay were 'completely taken aback' by the claims.
Hernandez and his partner Triay are said to have been' completely taken aback' by the claims

In a statement, the couple said: 'We opened our home and our lives to people who presented themselves as friends, who sought our kindness and for whom we had genuine affection. These people shared our lives with respect and dignity.

'We helped them, supported them, and believed them when they assured us that they were in the process of regularising their situation. That trust has been betrayed.

'Unfortunately, we are not the first to experience such a situation. Like many others before us, we were manipulated by emotional stories and false assurances. We never acted with malicious intent or in contempt of the law. We acted as human beings — and learned, painfully, that compassion can be exploited.

'What makes this situation even more trying is to see a gesture of trust and humanity turned into public attacks and accusations. This ordeal has been deeply painful for our family.

'This matter is now being dealt with through the appropriate legal channels, where the facts — not the narratives circulating on social media — belong. We call for decency, restraint, and respect. We will not participate further in online speculation.'

The claims are now being probed by the Versailles prosecutor's office.

Hernandez began his career at Atletico Madrid, where he came through the youth ranks. He spent five years there before moving to Bayern Munich in 2019, where he won the Champions League.

The 29–year–old joined PSG in 2023 – where he won a second career Champions League trophy last season – but has found himself largely on the bench this campaign, starting just 11 games.

Ishowspeed in Africa is erasing all the lies the American elites have told their kids black or white about Africa . They undermine any progress in Africa as that's the excuse they have been using to be giving us Aids.

Reasonable number of Americans believe Africa is just only one country, no electricity, no water, no health service.

The night at Ethiopia erased all those fallacy, one country out of the many in Africa. To even say the Ethiopians are still in 2018, using their own calendar indicated lots of lies was told about the blacks.

As both black and white Americans are seeing the reality on ground, their elites should be ready for convincing story or..

Business › Elon Musk Sues Openai & Microsoft For $134 Billion by BlackViper(op): 3:57pm On Jan 21
A recently filed court document reveals that Elon Musk is pursuing between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming he was defrauded of the $38 million in seed funding he provided when helping to found OpenAI in 2015. His legal team argues that this alleged deception entitles Musk to a percentage of OpenAI’s current valuation, estimated at around $500 billion.

The details were disclosed in a filing submitted ahead of a high-profile jury trial scheduled for April in Oakland, California. The damages calculation was prepared by expert witness C. Paul Wazzan, a financial economist, who estimated that Musk could be owed between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion in “wrongful gains” from OpenAI, with an additional $13.3 billion to $25.1 billion attributed to Microsoft.

Musk is also suing OpenAI’s leadership, including CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, alleging the company abandoned its original nonprofit mission and misled him in the process. OpenAI has strongly denied the accusations, describing the lawsuit as baseless and part of an ongoing campaign against the company, and says it is prepared to defend itself at trial.

That's why there's a saying:

It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people suspect you're a fool, than to open your mouth and have it proved beyond reasonable doubt

I have officially lost whatever tiny fragment of respect I once had for wizkid. He even lacks the self awareness to know how odd it looks that he's still calling himself a kid at the age of 35.

IShowspeed was in attendance for the final match at AFCON between Morocco and Senegal. He even dressed in a Moroccan Jersey and they still treated him like this.

Namaster:
This is NOT AFCON.

What I don't understand is why Israel and Gaza are being invoked in so many of the comments and dragged into this show of shame. It is so childish and irrelevant.

This is not about Israel and Palestine. This is about citizens of a so called African country using racist language towards black people during a competition that is supposed to promote African unity through football.

If they can do this in full view of the watching world, one can only imagine what happens to ordinary blacks living amongst them who are not celebrities.

Sports › CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by BlackViper(op): 6:23pm On Jan 19
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has suspended Senegal’s head coach, Pape Thiaw, following a disciplinary review of the chaotic scenes that marred Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final in Rabat.

Senegal defeated host nation Morocco 1–0 after extra time at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium to clinch their second continental title, but the historic triumph was overshadowed by Thiaw’s decision to order his players off the pitch in protest.

CAF said the coach’s action constituted a serious breach of conduct and threatened the integrity of the competition.

The controversy erupted deep into second-half stoppage time when referee Jean-Jacques Ndala awarded Morocco a late penalty after a VAR review.

The decision came moments after a Senegalese goal had been disallowed, sparking fury on the Senegal bench.

In response, Thiaw instructed his players to abandon the pitch, triggering fears that the final could be abandoned or forfeited.

Play was halted for nearly 20 minutes as officials struggled to restore order.

It was Senegal captain, Sadio Mane, who eventually defused the crisis, persuading his teammates to leave the dressing room and return to the field so the match could continue.

Senegal went on to seal victory in extra time through a decisive strike by Pape Gueye, but CAF moved swiftly after the final whistle to sanction the technical crew.

In a statement, CAF’s disciplinary committee said protests and walk-offs, regardless of refereeing decisions, are unacceptable at any level of professional football.

“Such actions undermine the values of fair play and the integrity of CAF competitions,” the committee said.

Thiaw later admitted he acted out of anger, expressing regret and acknowledging that emotions got the better of him during the tense finale.
