If he wanted an African name, he could have chosen a Yoruba, Igbo, Ashanti, Źulu or Bambara name. Instead he chose an Arab name because he was deceived by the ex convict Malcom X into thinking it was an African identity.

SixSeven:
It is not but if you read his biography, you WI understand the story that made him change his name and the experience that led to it too. It was a form of protest and even his family initially thought he was crazy for changing his name. That decision hurt the US government more than his decision not to be drafted.

He didn't want a colonisers name, so he picked another coloniser's name.

Meanwhile Cassius Clay he was named after was an anti slavery activist who used to go around cutting out the eyes of white people who enslaved blacks in America.

That's why he changed his name because he doesn't want colonisers names.
Foreign AffairsRe: Bombshell: UAE Business Woman Sold Kaaba Sacred Cloth To Epstein For His Mosque by BlackViper(op): 9:14am On Feb 08
Hmm...🤔 You may be right sir. But that cloth is very sacred to Muslims and it was meant to be given ONLY to Muslims. And not just any Muslim, because the person has to be a very devout Muslim. I doubt if even any mosque in Nigeria is decorated with that cloth, but somehow an infidel like Epstein was able to buy it.

Foreign AffairsRe: Bombshell: UAE Business Woman Sold Kaaba Sacred Cloth To Epstein For His Mosque by BlackViper(op): 8:56am On Feb 08
I would be very curious to know why Jeffrey Epstein had a mosque on his notorious island.

Was it for his own personal religious devotions or was it for visiting "dignitaries" from the Middle East?

The files show that Epstein may have had a mosque on his St. Thomas Island. In emails to Epstein’s associates, al-Ahmadi references a mosque where the Kiswah would be hung up. The Saudi man also sent mats, tents, tables and Arab-style sofas from Saudi for use at the mosque.
Foreign AffairsBombshell: UAE Business Woman Sold Kaaba Sacred Cloth To Epstein For His Mosque by BlackViper(op): 8:53am On Feb 08
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein purchased sacred cloth that once covered the Kaaba, according to newly released files that include emails detailing a shipment of three framed pieces from Mecca to Florida.


The Kaaba Kiswah — or the black, gold-embroidered cloth that shrouds Islam’s holiest site in Saudi Arabia — is a revered artifact that carries spiritual meaning for Muslims worldwide.

The emails, included in the latest tranche of Epstein files unsealed Friday (Jan. 30) as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, show United Arab Emirates-based businesswoman Aziza al-Ahmadi working with a man named Abdullah al-Maari to organize the Kiswah shipment between February and March 2017.

"By the way the black piece was touched by minimum 10 million Muslims of different denominations, Sunni, Shia and others,” al-Ahmadi wrote to Epstein on March 22, 2017, nearly a decade after he first served time for sex crimes and two years before he was again arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking in July 2019.

The correspondence listed three pieces with pictures of the cloths and short explanations: one from inside the Kaaba, one from the exterior covering and a third cover that had not been used. The pieces were classified as “picture frames” and transported via British Airways Air Cargo, the emails show. A shipping invoice values the items at $10,980.

The files show that Epstein may have had a mosque on his St. Thomas Island. In emails to Epstein’s associates, al-Ahmadi references a mosque where the Kiswah would be hung up. The Saudi man also sent mats, tents, tables and Arab-style sofas from Saudi for use at the mosque.

Here are 3 things to know about the Kaaba and its decorative cover:

1. The Kaaba was a holy site prior to Islam.

Kaaba, meaning cube in Arabic, is considered by Muslims to be the “house of God” on Earth. Muslims believe it was built by the Prophet Ibrahim (known as Abraham in the Jewish tradition) and his son Ismail (Ishmael) as a house for monotheistic worship thousands of years ago.

The Kaaba retained its sacred status over the years. Before Islam was founded, the Kaaba housed idols and attracted a range of worshippers from Arab tribes across the Arabian Peninsula who visited for an annual pilgrimage.

The Kaaba became the focal point for Muslim worship and pilgrimage when the Prophet Muhammad and his Muslim followers returned to Mecca after exile, according to Islamic tradition.

All Muslims aspire to make the annual pilgrimage, or Hajj, to the Kaaba once in their life if they are physically and financially able. Prayer five times a day toward the direction of the Kaaba and the pilgrimage are two of the five pillars of Islam.

2. The Kiswah cover is designed by highly trained craftsmen.
The creation of a new Kiswah every year is a complex operation that involves more than 200 fabric artisans, 264 pounds of silver and gold thread, and 47 pieces of silk imported from Italy, according to Islamic art blog Bayt Al Fann.

Production of the sacred cloth took place in Egypt for centuries but was relocated to Saudi Arabia in the 20th century. The process involves weaving, dyeing, printing designs and embroidering with silver and gold thread. The Kiswah, which covers over 7,000 square feet and is assembled from 47 panels, costs about $4.5 million to make.

The color of the Kiswah used to be white during the Prophet Muhammad’s life, but it changed colors over time to red, then green and as of today, black, according to Bayt Al Fann.

3. The Kaaba gets a new cover every year.
Since Prophet Muhammad’s time, the cloth has been removed from the Kaaba and replaced with a new one each year around the start of the pilgrimage.

The old cloth, sometimes weighing 3,000 pounds, is treated as a highly valuable artifact. It is cut and gifted to museums, dignitaries and Muslim countries, according to the Kiswah Islamic Store. The online retailer, which claims it sells authentic Kiswah covers, says the cloth is also sometimes made available “to collectors or for purchase by verified merchants.”

Muslims consider the Kaaba a symbol of the oneness of God and the replacement of the artistic cover every year represents a renewal of faith.

CrimeTwo Nigerians Held In India For Impersonating Company Directors, Cheating Staff by BlackViper(op): 8:49am On Feb 05
Two Nigerian nationals were arrested by the Gurgaon cyber crime police for allegedly posing as company directors on WhatsApp and tricking employees into transferring money to their bank accounts, officials said.

Police identified the accused as Ojo Uyiosa and James. The arrests were made by the cyber crime police (East), Gurgaon, on Saturday from the S-Block area of Nathupur following the analysis of a suspicious phone number used in the crime.

Uyiosa first came to India in 2014 on a student visa, while James entered the country in 2023 on a tourist visa, police said. The two, along with other Nigerian nationals, allegedly impersonated directors of companies and convinced employees to urgently transfer money, which was later shared among the group.

Police claimed round ₹10 lakh was transferred into a Bandhan Bank account as part of the fraud, and two cyber crime complaints were already registered against the same account.

During the interrogation and based on the evidence collected, it emerged that the accused were involved in multiple cyber fraud incidents using the same modus operandi. Following the arrests, a case was registered against the accused and they were produced before a court on Sunday, which sent them to three days of police custody.

Police said the accused primarily used WhatsApp for communication, while their associates arranged bank accounts to receive the defrauded money. Police recovered two phones and three SIM cards used in the crime. Officials said efforts were on to trace additional recoveries, identify other members of the gang, and uncover the full extent of the fraud.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NlK5wms680?si=zgUydq7c85td34Lu

A woman with no formal medical qualifications defrauded the NHS by working as a health care support worker using a false ID, a court has heard.

Oluwabunmu Adeleiyi, 30, a Nigerian national living in Canton, Cardiff, on a student visa, worked at Neath Port Talbot Hospital and at the Caswell Clinic in Bridgend.

Cardiff Crown Court heard she and two accomplices used the same IDs to bill the NHS about £16,000 a month through different employment agencies.

Adeleiyi admitted four counts of fraud by false representation and was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment for each offence, to run concurrently and to be suspended for two years.

Two of the counts of fraud by false representation related to the hospital in Port Talbot and two to the medium secure mental health unit in Bridgend.

The court heard the fraud came to light when Adeleiyi checked out at the end of a night shift at the Caswell Clinic.

A receptionist noticed that a passport photo had been placed on the ID card, which was kept in a plastic wallet.

When challenged, Adeleiyi refused to hand over shift documentation
.

The issue was escalated to senior management at the Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) who declared a critical incident.

'Patients and staff put at risk'


The health board's investigation found staff had noticed "bizarre" behaviour during her shifts, including locking herself in a room on a ward.

She also locked doors in corridors that were not allowed to be locked in case of fire or if staff were needed to help deal with violent patients.

Adeleiyi, who had no training in restraint techniques, had access to confidential patient notes and made additions to observation notes herself.

The court heard health bosses said the potential risks "could have been catastrophic".

Adeleiyi used the ID of a registered healthcare support worker who fled from the UK to Nigeria using a false passport.

Judge Recorder Mark Powell KC told Adeleiyi: "You put the patients at risk... you put staff at risk."

Adeleiyi was ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid community service.

Speaking after the hearing, Neil Jones, lead counter fraud specialist for SBUHB, said: "Today's sentence serves to illustrate that any fraud perpetrated against the NHS, especially where individuals target vulnerable patients or staff will be investigated fully and dealt with through the judicial system."

He said Adeleiyi had used fraudulent nursing agency identification supplied by an overseas organised crime group.

"Thankfully, she had minimal interaction with patients and a review carried out by the health board determined that no harm was caused to any patients," he said.

Car TalkRe: $1 Billion For A Car, Will You Buy This Car ? Pictures by BlackViper: 5:59pm On Feb 03

JibolaUsman:
Came across this on the internet this morning and it's highly intriguing. According to the Facebook account this car will cost One Billion Dollars when it will be released on October 17, 2026.

According to the account it will come with Time Travel. What Is Time Travel ? Sho! Is it the same time travel we see in science fiction. Is time travel even possible ?

One thing that I totally agree with is the car is being called " The Most Beautiful Car Of All Time ". Omo I agree o. The car Handsome no be small. Why did they say it was beautiful ? It looks handsome

You can go to Facebook to see more pictures of it at Facebook/ Loloko Oloko.

Omo the car is the ishh. Imagine driving this car on the streets of Lagos, drivers will get accident by looking at the car and not looking at where they are going.

One Billion Dollars is alot of money and I doubt if any American billionaire will buy it, unless the time travel is 100 percent real, then they will buy it for the time travel and then reverse engineer it so that they can build their own time travel machine.

If the time travel is not really that time travel then the only market this car will have is in the middle east.

So what do you guys think of this car ? Will you buy a car that costs $1,234,567,890 ?

Foreign AffairsJeffrey Epstein Had A Secret Child, Emails In New Files Reveal by BlackViper(op): 5:52pm On Feb 02
Jeffrey Epstein had a secret child, according to a message sent to him by Sarah Ferguson.

The former Duchess of York congratulated the paedophile on the birth of a “baby boy” after he was released from jail in 2011.

She offered Epstein her “love, friendship and congratulations” after hearing the news from “The Duke”, probably referring to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, her ex-husband.

It has never been established if Epstein has any children, despite allegedly having sexual relations with hundreds of women.

Karyna Shuliak, the financier’s last-known girlfriend, was set to inherit most of his fortune, properties and island in a will changed shortly before his death in prison in 2019.

Ms Ferguson appeared to send a second message complaining that Epstein had “disappeared” after using her “to get to Andrew”.

.
The correspondence from Ms Ferguson is among the three million documents in the Epstein files that were relased by the US department of justice on Friday, along with 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.

The former Duchess featured several times in the documents, with the latest tranche revealing that she offered Epstein and his friends VIP tours of Buckingham Palace.

The newly released emails showed that Ms Ferguson contacted Epstein after he was released from prison for child sex offences in 2009.

The files also showed that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Epstein continued until at least 2017, seven years after the disgraced former royal claimed to have cut off contact.

Epstein never confessed to having any children while he was alive, but more than 100 people have claimed to be his offspring, with many making a claim to his fortune.

In 2020, Harvey Morse, the founder of Morse Genealogical Services, a DNA firm, said Epstein may have grandchildren because he was “sexually promiscuous for so long”.

“There is a reasonable chance he may have fathered a child,” he said. “He could even be a grandfather.”

Mr Morse said that 130 people approached his company after it set up a website named epsteinheirs.com, although more than a quarter of the claims were dismissed almost immediately.

In a separate file, released on Friday, a woman claimed to have “created” a daughter with Epstein in a “beautiful fertility ritual”. The validity of the claim is not known, and the Justice Department has warned that the files contain a number of “untrue and sensationalist” accusations.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act ordered the US Department of Justice to release all files pertaining to Epstein by Dec 19, but authorities have gone well over the deadline.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his remaining royal titles by the King last year, was pictured kneeling over an unidentified woman in the latest documents.

The files also included offers made by Epstein to introduce Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman named Irina.

PoliticsEba Island: Ogun And Ondo Battle Over Ownership Of Oil Rich Island by BlackViper(op): 10:57am On Feb 02
Tensions have escalated between Ogun and Ondo states over the ownership of Eba Island, an oil-rich territory in the South-West, following President Bola Tinubu’s approval of drilling activities at an abandoned oil well on the island.

The Ogun State Government reaffirmed its territorial claim over Eba Island, located in Ogun Waterside Local Government Area, dismissing Ondo State’s competing assertions as misleading and potentially inflammatory.

In a statement on Sunday, Governor Dapo Abiodun’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said the island falls squarely within Ogun State based on historical, legal, and administrative records.

Tensions have flared between Ogun and Ondo states over Eba Island, a coastal territory in the South-West, recently identified as hosting hydrocarbon resources.

Ogun described recent claims by Ondo State as misleading and capable of provoking avoidable communal tension.

Akinmade said, “The Eba Island, where the approved oil well is located, falls squarely within Ogun Waterside Local Government Area of Ogun State. Boundaries between states and local governments in Nigeria are constitutionally defined and properly documented by the National Boundary Commission. Official boundary maps and records clearly situate Eba Island within Ogun State.”

According to Akinmade, Eba is a long-established community within Ogun Waterside, whose status predates Nigeria’s independence and has remained unchanged through successive political and administrative reorganisations, including the 1976 state creation exercise that carved Ogun State out of the former Western State.

“Since 1976, there has been no constitutional amendment, judicial pronouncement or federal gazette that altered the boundary placing Eba outside Ogun State,” he said.

He clarified that there are two distinct locations known as “Eba”: one near the Ondo State forest reserve and the larger Eba Island, where the President approved drilling, which lies entirely within Ogun State’s coastal corridor.

Akinmade noted that the federal approval followed extensive due diligence by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and other federal agencies, which confirmed the well’s location within Ogun State before clearance was granted.

“The deployment of national security assets, including naval formations around the drilling site, further demonstrates federal recognition of Ogun State as the host state,” he said.

Providing historical context, Ogun State said that in October 2024, the Molokun of Atijere in Ondo State formally approached the Osobia of Makun-Omi in Ogun Waterside, seeking permission to conduct business activities on Eba Island.

The request was declined and reported to Ogun State, NNPCL, and security agencies.

“This engagement amounted to a tacit acknowledgement of Ogun State’s jurisdiction over the area,” the statement said.

Ogun State also rejected claims based on colonial documents from 1919 and 1920 as misleading, pointing instead to Colonial Government Gazette No. 660 of April 29, 1950, which clearly defined the boundary between the former Ijebu and Ondo provinces. The government cited lease agreements, historical community records, and survey documents—including the Olokola Free Trade Zone Survey Plan—as further proof that Eba Island is part of Ogun State. Administrative validation by the Independent National Electoral Commission, which registers the polling unit at LA Primary School, Eba, under Makun/Irokun Ward in Ogun Waterside, was also highlighted.

While cautioning against misinformation, Ogun State called for restraint and responsible engagement.

“The facts are clear, and the law is settled. Eba Island, where the approved oil well is located, is in Ogun State,” the statement concluded.

However, Ondo State rejected Ogun’s claim, insisting that the island belongs to Atijere in Ilaje Local Government Area.

In a statement on Sunday, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Allen Sowore, accused Ogun of issuing misleading public statements and media briefings.

“It must be clearly stated that mineral resources, including oil wells, are assets of the Federal Government, domiciled within different states of the Federation. This position is firmly grounded in Item 39 of the Second Schedule (Part I) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), which places oil fields and oil mining on the Exclusive Legislative List,” Sowore said.

He emphasised that while host states and communities are recognised, territorial claims must be established by historical records, documentary evidence, and statutory or judicial determination.

“Ownership of land or territorial location of petroleum resources is not established by press statements or shifting public narratives. Rather, such matters are determined by empirical facts, historical records, documentary evidence, established administrative practice, and, where necessary, judicial or statutory determinations. In this case, the oil deposit in question is situated in Atijere, Ondo State.”

Sowore reiterated that the landowners in the area are Ilaje indigenes, and that the village has existed since at least 1937.

“Eba Island has historically fallen under the Atijere Native Court Authority. River Ufara, which runs through Imakun into Oluwa River, serves as a natural demarcating feature/boundary between Ilaje land and Ijebu land. Ogun and Ondo States are distinct entities with clearly defined administrative and historical boundaries and a long record of cordial relations. Recent attempts to misrepresent facts regarding an oil deposit situated within Ondo State—even to federal authorities—are unacceptable.”

The Ondo government called on the National Boundary Commission and relevant federal agencies to release authoritative records to resolve the boundary controversy.

It is typically free except in cases where the accused is charged with a felony and there is a serious likelihood of him becoming a fugitive from justice. I'm sure you read the story and you can see that the suspect has committed this same offence in several different states under the alias of "Kay" before he was finally apprehended in California.

TGreatGatsby:
The sheriff’s office said he is currently being held with a $100,000 bail in the Santa Barbara County Main Jail on multiple felony charges...

But ignorant Nigerians will always be screaming bail is free when they hear about a bail bond put on an offender. The type of offence/scenerio determines the cost of a persons bail after arrest.

BAIL IS NOT FREE

Meanwhile the United States alone has more than all African countries put together.

Of course for tactical and strategic purposes, the big boys like the US and China will never reveal the true strength in depth of their air forces so if they reveal any figures, one should instinctively know that the real figure is signing higher than what they reveal to the public.

Africa will always be at the bottom of the pile as long as we have prioritised mediocrity over progress.

For example, over the past 5 years, Nigeria has consistently allocated more money for Hajj pilgrimage than it does for science and technology.

In fact over the past 5 years, the Federal government of Nigeria has spent almost 3 times as much on subsidising Hajj pilgrimage as it did on science and technology.

Santa Barbara County authorities have arrested a man who they believe sexually abused patients while working at a nursing home.

The investigation into Kayode Agbolade Ogunba, a certified nursing assistant, began early last November when the facility in Goleta reported that he sexually assaulted two patients while working there, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

Ogunba was involved in similar allegations in the Los Angeles area, and he is believed to have previously worked in other states, including Washington and Texas, according to authorities.

Ogunba was arrested last Tuesday in Los Angeles on a Santa Barbara County arrest warrant.

He may have gone by the name Kay in professional or personal settings, investigators said.

The sheriff’s office said he is currently being held with a $100,000 bail in the Santa Barbara County Main Jail on multiple felony charges, including sexual penetration and elder abuse.

Christianity EtcRe: British Hospital Calls In Pastors To Cast Out Ghost That Was Terrorising Staff by BlackViper(op): 4:18pm On Feb 01
Is this a joke? There is a Church in Egypt where muslims go for spiritual deliverance because their imams failed to deliver them from demonic oppression.

phadul:
There is no such thing as ghosts. But there is the Djinn (which others that do not know them call them demons )according to the holy Quran and they are real a whole chapter in the quran talks about them! The sooner they realize this the more they will understand their problem is going to be solved by calling a Muslim Djinn specialist chaplain not a priest! As you have to know what you are dealing with to even know how to exercise it!

Read the actual story before you embarrass yourself. Norwich Cathedral is a church and it is overseen by a bishop and pastors.

The NHS trust reportedly contacted Norwich Cathedral for holy oil to carry out a ceremony at the reportedly haunted hospice.

An exorcist isn’t necessarily a clergy.

So, you’re right
Christianity EtcRe: British Hospital Calls In Pastors To Cast Out Ghost That Was Terrorising Staff by BlackViper(op): 10:16am On Feb 01
The story specifically says that the exorcists are from a Church:

They reported a “difficult time” at the site and asked for “some holy oil” from Norwich Cathedral.

Natbrowny:
There are actually 2 different things going on here
Headline says they contacted a pastor
Content says it was an exorcist.

I agree most white may not be as religious as we think, but they believe in the spirit world.

An exorcist and a pastor are not the same.

NHS called in exorcist after frightened hospice staff reported seeing ghosts


An NHS trust contacted an exorcist after staff reported seeing ghosts, including a “girl in a red dress” at a Norwich hospice.

The site was previously used as a children’s hospital, and after a series of paranormal incidents, staff fear that it may still be home to the spirits that once lived there.

The NHS has reportedly asked for the help of deliverance ministers, or exorcists, to carry out ceremonies using holy oil.

Exorcisms have become recognised in mainstream culture since the popularization of the 1970s hit horror film, The Exorcist, which tells the story of a little girl who is possessed.

The iconic 1970’s horror film The Exorcist brought the concept of possession and exorcisms into the mainstream.

The paranormal incidents occurred at Priscilla Bacon Lodge, located near Colman Hospital, which was previously home to the Jenny Lind Children’s Hospital. It is now used as a hospice by the Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust.

Sources have said there have been concerns about “paranormal incidents” at the hospice, including repeated sightings of a “small child in a red dress”.

They reported a “difficult time” at the site and asked for “some holy oil” from Norwich Cathedral.

The NHS trust reportedly contacted Norwich Cathedral for holy oil to carry out a ceremony at the reportedly haunted hospice.

The chaplain explained that this would be used to conduct a religious service to soothe the fears of staff and patients who believed the site was haunted.

The following week, another email was sent to the Diocese of Norwich, which confirmed they were in “conversation with a member of the deliverance team”.

A “blessing of the building” was then carried out, the trust said, but claims no exorcist ever visited the hospice in person.

The trust also refused to discuss what paranormal activity patients and staff have reported seeing.

After the paranormal incidents were reported, Priscilla Bacon Lodge moved into new premises in 2023.

The former children’s hospital is now no longer in use, despite being briefly converted into a therapy unit.
