Foreign AffairsInsurance Companies Closed The Strait Of Hormuz, Not Iran by blamingthedevil(op): 4:09pm On Mar 10
*Everyone thinks Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz.*
*That’s wrong.*
*Iran didn’t close it.*
*London did.*

Not the government.
Insurance companies.
The most important oil artery in the world nearly stopped flowing.
Let me explain.

Every day, about 107 cargo ships normally pass through it.

Energy lifelines for the global economy.

Last week?
Only 19 ships crossed.
An 81% collapse in traffic.
No missiles.
Just one decision:
Insurance companies withdrew coverage.

Here’s how global shipping really works.
About 90% of the world’s ships are insured by 12 maritime insurance clubs.
These clubs rely on reinsurance markets — mostly based in London.

When war risk rises…
Reinsurers can pull coverage.
And when that happens:
No insurance
→ ships cannot sail
→ trade stops.

A $150M tanker will not move without insurance.
So the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t blocked by a navy.
It was blocked by a spreadsheet.
Now the real question:

Who is actually being choked?
Three players.
1. Iran
Almost all Iranian oil exports leave through Hormuz.
If shipping collapses:
Iran cannot export.
Its war revenue disappears.
Ironically, the oil weapon hurts Iran itself first.
2. China
China is the most exposed country on earth to Hormuz disruption.
• ~40% of Chinese crude imports pass through the strait
• ~90% of Iranian oil exports go to China
• Qatar LNG shipments to China must cross Hormuz
So if this route freezes…
China’s energy security starts shaking.
That’s why Beijing quickly urged de-escalation.
3.The entire Gulf
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Qatar
Kuwait
Iraq
Their oil exports depend on it.
Hormuz carries ~20 million barrels/day.
There is no alternative route.

And here’s where the British financial system quietly enters the story.
For centuries, London has dominated maritime insurance.
From Lloyd’s markets to global reinsurance.
That means:
When London decides the risk is too high…
Global shipping freezes.
No blockade required.

Does this help Russia?
Short term — yes.
If Gulf exports slow:
• Oil prices rise
• Russian crude become valuable
• Asia may buy more Russian oil
Higher prices mean more money for Moscow.
What about India?
India imports ~85% of its oil.
Much of it comes from the Middle East.
If Hormuz disruption continues:
• Shipping costs rise
• Oil prices spike
• Inflation pressure increases
India’s advantage is diversification.
It buys from:
• Gulf producers
• Russia
• Other suppliers

But if Hormuz stays unstable…
everyone pays more.
The biggest lesson here?
Most people think geopolitics is controlled by:
Presidents.
Generals.
Missiles.
But sometimes…
The real gatekeepers are actuaries running risk models in London.
They don’t fire weapons.
They price probability.
And when the numbers don’t work…
global trade simply stops.
If you want to understand modern geopolitics, remember this:
*The world is no longer controlled only by governments.
*It’s controlled by systems.*
*Insurance systems.*
*Energy systems.*
*Financial systems.*

Missiles create headlines.
Risk models decide what actually moves.

PoliticsWe Will Adopt Tinubu As 2027 Presidential Candidate – APGA by blamingthedevil(op): 3:05pm On Mar 06
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), on Thursday, declared that it would not be fielding a presidential candidate in the 2027 election, disclosing its intention to adopt President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

National Chairman of the party, Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa disclosed this during a press briefing in Lagos where he addressed questions regarding the adoption of a candidate from another party.

He also spoke on the recent amendments into the Electoral Act, saying while the provision for direct primary would put an end to what he called the expensive primaries to elect candidates of various political parties.

Ezeokenwa said APGA’s move to endorse of Tinubu is rooted in the faith he has shown in the party.

We hope that during the national convention of the APC, if he secures the nomination of his party through direct primaries, I can bet you that the national convention of APGA will adopt him as our presidential candidate,” he said.

Asked why APGA would adopt a candidate from another party, Ezeokenwa noted that this is not unprecedented.

He recalled that the party adopted former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as its candidate in both the 2011 and 2015 presidential elections, stressing that the practice is entirely legal.

He added, “We decided to return to this policy for a reason. Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda resonates with us. He has shown us good faith. We share similar ideology. If he gets the nomination of his party, we’ll adopt him.”

Ezeokenwa however xx to the INEC at least 21 days before party primaries, congresses, or conventions.

According to the Act, only members whose names appear in the register will be eligible to vote or contest in party primaries.

However the APGA Chairman said, “The constitution says you must belong to a political party but you don’t determine for me who my members should be. It’s none of your business.

“There is a conscious attempt to emasculate smaller parties from fielding credible candidates. But I believe one of the positive sides of the new law is that it will entrench belief in political party ideology. Today people just see political parties as special purpose vehicles. We accept the direct primaries wholeheartedly. We urge INEC to ensure credible elections.”

He stated that the party in line with the new law has commenced its digital membership registration and revalidation exercise which would last for the next one month from March 1st.

Foreign AffairsKuwait's Defense Ministry Says "Several" US Military Aircraft Have Crashed by blamingthedevil(op): 9:49am On Mar 02
Kuwait's defense ministry says "several" US military aircraft have crashed, all crews survived

Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense said “several United States military aircraft crashed” on Monday and that “all crew members survived.”

The statement comes after videos geolocated by CNN showed a fighter jet crashing in Kuwait and a pilot parachuting to the ground.


CNN has reached out to US Central Command for comment.

“Relevant authorities immediately initiated search-and-rescue operations,” Kuwait’s defense ministry spokesperson Col. Said Al-Atwan said in the statement.

“The crews were evacuating from the crash sites and transferred to hospital to assess their condition and provided necessary medical care,” he said, adding that they are in a “stable” condition.

Al-Atwan said Kuwait was in “direct coordination” with US authorities

All the registrations there are completely invalid, you will have to print your slip and go to your ward to validate it, how a whole party could not read that part and understand shows the kind of people in large number that are in the party...

Everything you people went there to do is completely useless till you go to the ward to validate it...

Shameless people...
No wonder they wanted real-time transmission of election results! Look at the people that they planned to use to vote for their Agbaje candidate!

A party that cannot organise itself wants to organise Nigeria? A group that is unable to identify its own supporters wants to identify Nigeria's challenges. An association that does not know how to solve its own problems wants to solve the challenges of Africa's largest nation.

Meanwhile, the same African Democratic Congress says it is better than the All Progressives Congress, which requires the National Identification Number as a mandatory step before e-registration to prevent fake registrations!!

No be juju be that?
