I've never been a proponent for motorbikes in this clime.
As quick, time saving and enjoyable as the ride may be, for me, the cons still far outweigh the pros.
With the road rage and lawlessness that goes on daily on our roads, even adorning the full gear offers very little protection for the lives of the riders.

Why did the innocent citizens of Gaza rejoice when innocent Israeli citizens were killed and their mutilated bodies were paraded inbroad day light. Why won't the innocent citizens of Gaza and Lebanon stop the terror actors from storing and firing missiles from the children's bedroom........ innocence is more than just a word......the madness is tolerance for terrorism never the defence against it. Israel is safer and so Israel is truly winning.

I've not taken sides my brother. I'm just questioning where our humanity as "beings" now is.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the IDF's strike on Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut on Friday, the IDF announced Saturday morning.

Early life and rise to power
Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has led the Shia militant and political organization since 1992. Born in Beirut in 1960, Nasrallah started his political journey in the Amal Movement before joining Hezbollah in the early 1980s. Under his leadership, Hezbollah grew into a powerful force with significant military capabilities and political influence in Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s conflicts with Israel
Hezbollah, under Nasrallah's command, has frequently clashed with Israel, with notable confrontations like the 2006 Lebanon War. Nasrallah’s leadership during these conflicts has boosted his popularity, especially among those who view Hezbollah as a symbol of resistance against Israeli occupation.

Despite the heavy toll on Lebanon, Hezbollah emerged with a narrative of defiance and survival that Nasrallah has used to galvanize support​.

Recent escalations and challenges
In recent weeks, tensions have escalated as Israel continues targeted strikes against Hezbollah, focusing on its operatives and infrastructure. Nasrallah has condemned these actions as acts of war, accusing Israel of targeting civilian areas in Lebanon. He vowed retaliation, warning that Hezbollah is prepared for a prolonged confrontation if necessary​.

Strategic position and future threats
While Nasrallah projects confidence, he also faces significant challenges, including military setbacks and internal Lebanese opposition. Israeli officials, like retired IDF Colonel Kobi Marom, argue that this is an opportune moment to strike at Hezbollah’s leadership to prevent future escalations.

Nasrallah’s cautious approach reflects a delicate balance between military engagement and avoiding a broader conflict that could undermine Hezbollah’s position​.

Sadly, there are no overt winners in this mad and gorry slaughter of humans.
If I was an Israeli who had lost a loved on in last October's mayhem, no amount of slaughter of Gazan's and Hezbollah’s hierarchy will assuage the pain being felt and for Israel, no amount of retribution is adequate but in reality, the innocent people who die everyday have a right to life just as the slain Israelis did.
So how long will the world observe from a distance the madness going on in the Middle East?
Like they say, it's the beginning of war we know.. no one knows how it will turn out.
Lord have mercy!

Can't the student sue for royalty?

Nigeria: The only country where the more you look...

... the more you don't understand.

FarSide:
And u are actually right; it's a Latin phrase and I think the spelling is "Spera en Deo" meaning "Hope in God"

Wow, thanks for the enlightenment!

Wow, it's been yonks!
.. Spera has really changed.
We used to call it Spera N'doe..

Maybe she dint get "shishi"!

An acceptable "desperate measure"!

Why waste your time knowing fully well you can't win

Ouch!

CodeTemplarr:
By the time you take what 36 governors skim off their allocations, add to that of ministers, reps, senators, LG chairmen, MDA heads, you will realize corruption is a massive industry in Nigeria and even Africa at large. Very wicked lot. He should be given no soft landing.

I like your use of the word "industry"!
Apt!!

Man's utter inhumanity to man ..
.. anyways I can imagine what kind of intense interrogation he was subjected to, especially in the 9ja way. (..dey for don panel beat the guy face ehn?)

I feel it's a senseless war.
More than 250,000 lives have been lost on both sides all in the name of stopping Ukraine's March westwards.

datola:
Putin should give himself some brains and stop the senseless war

.. are you indirectly saying he doesn't have enough of it?

gaskiyamagana:
Biggest one is coming!

Perhaps, I hope so too. I sense the Ukrainians have something up their sleeves.

Why do I fear that Putin may be considering the use of his nuclear arsenal to save face from his monumental miscalculation.
On the flip side, I feel the Ukrainians may be trying to deal a fatal blow to Russia before the November 5 elections as their future remains uncertain.

It's called "subliminal" influence!

Man's inhumanity to man!
I just hope these occurrences are limited to the "developed" world, even though what happens here are brazen murders.
May God help us!!

Somebody say if you discover that your BP is high that you should rest and it will come back to normal but if you start using hypertension drugs, that is how you will continue using it, if you stop using it that it can cause problem.
Recently I have been feeling somehow and I am afraid of doing the BP test, I am feeling pain in my chest recently.
Please house, I want to know the truth.

Please leave out all the guesswork and summon the courage to get a BP check from a pharmacy or friend with a BP machine nearby.
Secondly endeavour to attend a public hospital if medical costs are a problem. You will at least get the basic care you need and who knows, all of this may just be a 'storm in a cup'.
.. but you'll NEVER know if you don't try.
I wish you the best of health.

Please seek counselling, either from your church, a trained marriage counsellor, a clinical psychologist or experienced friends you look up to.
I hope you find some solace from your challenges.

The real "japa-da"!
.. what I like about it is that it's voluntary.

We all need some form of motivation in these times but the current situation may blur the thin line between optimism and delirium.

So, should Kamala also exact a price from everyone who supports Trump?
See why "live and let die" is not a good policy?

He stab his sugar mummy not lover... Na God catch her 38yrs wetin e dey do with 18yrs old boy..

If you want to keep information from a black man, like they say, hide it in the pages of a book.
You obviously dint read the story before your comment.
.. besides have some respect for the dead.

The police 'is' your friend, the police is your friend.. shey all of una don see now?
With the Nigerian police as your friend, we need no enemies again!
.. but on a serious note, this "Samarian" almost lost his life literally, while trying to save another.
May God help us!!

I love his campaign jingle, especially where it sings.. "see as we dey like beans and rice, I will never leave your side"!
I think Edo deserves a breath of fresh air, sincerely speaking, a departure from the old guard of 'expired' politicians.

This gentleman has this 'fixed gaze' when he's animated.
.. he may have a point tho.

What's the difference between these men and kidnappers who demand ransom?

In my view it would seem the plan of the South Africans was to support her in order to make a mockery of the Nigerian beauty pageant and shame Miss Adetshina!
.. but the stone that was rejected has become the corner piece!!

In this part of the world, procreation remains the best form of recreation!

In 2006, the EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu came before the Nigeria Senate and listed five(5) most corrupt state governors and they are:
Orji Kalu of Abia State, Ahmed Bola Tinubu of Lagos state, Ahmed Sani yerima of zamfara state, God'swill Akpabio of Akwa-Ibom State, George Akume of Benue State and Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State. Surprisingly in 2024 Orji Kalu now senator, Bola Ahmed Tinubu now President, Ahmed Sani Yerima now Senator, George Akume now SGF, God'swill Akpabio now Senate President, Chimaroke Nnamani now Senate and the then EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu who made the list, is now Tinubu National Security Adviser. Which way Nigeria.

Wait a minute, it's either that Nuhu has now teamed up with them or he dint get his facts right at the beginning when he accused these figures.
