It's not good to completely ignore someone's past, we should investigate, do proper background check, know family history and everything to avoid problems in the future.
Any young woman living a reckless life now should know that
My girlfriend is my girlfriend , her past is her past. If you've ever slept with her or you know people who have slept with her, that's your problem.
Every woman has a past she surely regrets and every good human being makes mistakes, but that doesn't prevent her from being an ideal woman for another man.
I have chopped her before means nothing to me, It won't stop me from marrying. She's a class of her own, there's a queen in her. You saw only S*X, i saw FUTURE 💯.
Brothers, let's take the time to make them happy, to value and to get others to respect our women instead of taking the time to listen to criticisms of our women while promoting/encouraging hypocrites to denigrate our women.
Past is past, yesterday can never come again, it was a lesson, it was a process that helps remoulded our lives for the now and later.
We'll never be kids again, we're growing each day.
Don't be tired of learning as long as life keeps teaching
misreal: Iran has been attacking Israel using Hezbollah for ages now. Let them bring it on,Las Las na to nuke tehran .. Someone said Iran has more soldiers than israel This war is not about foot soldiers,but about sophistication, If Iran put body,na to nuke them.this is why Iran will just threaten and do nothing,
Iran has a lot of sophisticated conventional weapons too, the country has more than 3,000 ballistic and cruise missiles, they are close to building nuclear bomb as well
Amid escalating tensions with Israel, Iran has "readied more than a hundred cruise missiles for a possible strike," according to a report, nearly two weeks after a strike that US officials said was carried by Tel Aviv flattened Tehran's consulate in Damascus and killed seven Iranians.
Citing a US defence official on Friday, ABC News reported that Tehran has prepared more than a hundred cruise missiles to retaliate and the US has deployed additional military assets to the region, including ships and aircraft.
Two US Navy destroyers currently stationed in the eastern Mediterranean have been identified as part of the deployment, said the report.
The destroyers are equipped with the advanced Aegis combat system, capable of defending troops in the region from ballistic missile threats.
Israel is on high alert amid Iran's public vow to target Israel in retaliation for the April 1 air strike on its diplomatic facility in the Syrian capital Damascus.
Iran has accused Israel of carrying out the attack and vowed to respond. Israel, however, has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack, but it has for months carried out a number of strikes against Iranian targets across Syria.
Both Iran and Hezbollah, its main ally in Lebanon, have said that the attack will not go unpunished.
Iran aims to 'sidestep' any response from US
Meanwhile, two US officials told the Politico news website on condition of anonymity that Iran is planning a larger-than-usual aerial attack on Israel in the coming days, "one that will likely feature a mix of missiles and drone strikes."
Neither official expressed complete confidence that Iran would manage to strike Israel without provoking a military response from the US, as any attack raises the possibility of escalating tensions and conflict in the Middle East.
"The Biden administration expects Iran's response in the coming days as early as this weekend," according to one official.
The escalation comes Israel continues its invasion of Gaza where it has since October last year killed more than 35,500 Palestinians 70 percent of them babies, women and children — and wounded over 76,000 amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities.
Israel has imposed a crippling blockade on Gaza, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, starving.
Palestine's Hamas resistance group says its October 7 blitz on Israel that surprised its arch-enemy was orchestrated in response to Israeli attacks on Al Aqsa Mosque, illegal settler violence in occupied West Bank and to put Palestine question "back on the table."
The hours-long raid and Israeli military's haphazard reaction resulted in the killing of more than 1,130 people, Israeli officials and local media say.
Palestinian fighters took more than 250 hostages and presently 130 remain in Gaza, including 34 who the Israeli army says are dead, some of them killed in indiscriminate Israeli strikes.
The Israeli war has meanwhile pushed 85 percent of Gaza's population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60 percent of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered Tel Aviv to do more to prevent starvation crisis in Gaza. Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories, said recently there were reasonable grounds to believe Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Missiles smash Israel to 'overwhelm Iron Dome' before Iranian attack 'soon'
A barrage of missiles hit Israel on Friday evening as one commentator chillingly warned that the attack may be an attempt to deplete the country's 'Iron Dome' defense system as Iran prepares for a retaliatory attack
A missile onslaught aimed at Israel on Friday evening has sparked fears that the country's Iron Dome defence system could be overwhelmed, as a pundit ominously suggested the attack near the Galilee Panhandle, close to Lebanon's border, might be a ploy to exhaust Israel's defences ahead of an impending Iranian counterstrike.
Terrifying footage circulating on social media captured the moment Israel's Iron Dome valiantly intercepted incoming missiles, detonating them in the sky above towns on the border. The clips depict a volley of rockets being launched over the frontier, which are then met by a flurry of Israeli counter-rockets.
The Times of Israel reported no immediate damage or injuries from the incident. It is suspected that the projectiles were fired by Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant faction that has become an ally of Iran. Since entering the conflict in Gaza, Hezbollah has been sending rockets, missiles, and drones into Israel on an almost daily basis.
In Nigeria, We have Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani herdsmen and other numerous armed groups all terrorizing us from north to south east, north central and Niger delta region, such a country cannot make progress
No fewer than 27 fishermen have been reportedly slaughtered and three others abducted by the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah, Lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, a Boko Haram terrorists’ group on the border between Cameroon and Nigeria.
DAILY POST gathered that the terrorists suspected to be from the Buduma faction of Abou Ummaymah attacked a local fishing community harboring mostly fishermen from Nigeria at Island Kofiya, near Darak in the Republic of Cameroon.
They tied their hands behind their backs before slaughtering them.
The sources said the terrorists also abducted three other fishermen after accusing them of spying for the ISWAP faction.
The bodies of the fishermen were later recovered during a search and rescue operation by troops and their colleagues.
Two brother lions fight back to reclaim their territory, brutally taking their enemy’s life in the process.
After being chased off from their territory, two brother lions returned with vengeance to get their home back, brutally taking their enemy’s life in the process!
Tyron Horne, the assistant head ranger at AndBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve, had front-row seats to this raw moment of nature with his guests. Tyron shared the intense and heartbreaking footage with LatestSightings.com.
“I had been out on a drive with my guest all morning when a call came in on the radio that the two Mbiri males that once ruled this area were back. This was exciting because they had been pushed out by two of the Avoca males. Their return meant they were ready to reclaim what was originally theirs.”
The Mbiri males had come into the area because of a buffalo that had died, so for them it was a free meal. When they arrived, they ate their fill and began exploring what was once theirs. That’s when they crossed paths with the Avoca males that were now in charge. Being bigger and in their prime, the two brothers went into attack mode and chased the two resident males!
“When I arrived on the scene, there were only 3 male lions; one of the Avoca males had already been chased off by the attackers. What greeted us was truly shocking and left not only me but all of my guests silent for a few minutes. It was gruesome, to say the least; the two attacking males were covered in blood, which gave them a fierce look. The other male was on his back with blood covering his entire back and legs.”
“They were biting at the soft underbelly; they had this look in their eyes that you could see from months of anger being built up. Because they had been pushed out for so long, when they finally were able to take revenge, they were not holding back. The bigger of the brothers managed to bite down between the intruder’s back legs and ripped so hard that his intestines came flying out!”
“Despite being covered in blood and his insides hanging out of him, the Avoca male was still alive! Raising his head and trying to put up a fight, he snapped his jaws. However, it was not of any help; he was too far gone. He fell back down, and the Mbiri brothers went back at it, growling and biting until they were certain that he would not move again.”
Male lions in the wild live for territory and mating rights. This means fights like this to the death are part of their lives and something that all males are prepared for, some more than others. We may find it extremely harsh and hard to witness, but moments like these give us insight into the hard lives that these animals live just to survive.
“Once he stopped moving, the Mbiri brothers did the unthinkable; they began eating his dead body. This is not something that lions would commonly do, but they were clearly in a rage, and there was no stopping them. They dragged his lifeless body around and, for the next two days, stuck with it while continuously eating from it. It was as if they were sending a message to any other males that were thinking of coming into their territory.”

The US government owes money to governments, central banks, companies, and individual investors around the world.

Three Tanzanian soldiers were killed and three others wounded when hostile mortar fire landed near their camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) said on Monday.
They were part of a Southern African peacekeeping force deployed in December last year to help government troops battling M23 rebels in the ongoing conflict in the restive eastern DRC.
The force includes soldiers from regional military heavyweight South Africa, Tanzania, and Malawi.
It is being reported that the mortar attack took place last Thursday and that a ceremony to honour the dead was held at SADC headquarters in the provincial capital, Goma, on Monday.
SADC also said that a soldier from South Africa had died in a hospital while being treated for unspecified health problems.
The force suffered its first losses in mid-February when two South African soldiers were killed by mortars at a camp about 20 kilometres from the provincial capital, Goma.
A Congolese security source, who asked not to be named, said the Tanzanian casualties happened at the same camp.
The DRC, the UN, and Western countries accuse neighbouring Rwanda of supporting the rebels in a bid to control the region's vast mineral resources, an allegation Kigali denies. The eastern part of the DRC has been plagued by violence from local and foreign armed groups for nearly 30 years.
After several years of dormancy, the mostly Tutsi M23 group took up arms again in late 2021 and has seized large swathes of North Kivu province.
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.
According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians. Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.
The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in protest against Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
This is as Israel’s military assault on Gaza reached its half-year mark.
Organisers of the protest said about 100,000 people converged at a Tel Aviv crossroads now called Democracy Square.
The protesters were bearing placards with various inscriptions, chanting “elections now”, as they called for the prime minister’s resignation.
The war in Gaza is set to enter its seventh month today (Sunday).
Rallies were also held in different cities, with Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid participating in one in Kfar Saba.
They haven’t learned anything, they haven’t changed,” he said, adding, “until we send them home, they won’t give this country a chance to move forward.”
Reports in Israel said that clashes broke out between the protesters and the police at the country’s capital, adding that the police confirmed the arrest of one protester.

This is heartbreaking, which president will have the guts to address the problem of armed herdsmen terrorizing communities in different parts of Nigeria? Especially the middle belt region
For those saying Iran won't do anything than making noise, you guys have forgotten that in 2020 under Donald trump when general Qasem Soleimani was killed in US drone strike in irag, Iran retaliated by firing ballistic missiles into US air-base in irag which destroyed the entire base and injured some soldiers, but no life was lost due to early warning signal.
I don't think any of them is ready for a full blown war right now, but Iran being a regional power doesn't want to be seen as weak, they will retaliate and Israel will overlook it because Israel is the aggressor this time.
Hypocritical and nonsense talk, why are they not placing sanctions on Israel like they did to Russia, Russia is currently the most sanctioned country on earth with over 14,000 sanctions for invading Ukraine, and the same people responsible for these sanctions are shamelessly aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza
Globally, good governance is a cornerstone for sustainable progress and societal well-being, and many countries, including those in Africa, are actively working to make sure they get it right.
The cornerstone of effective governance globally lies in embracing principles such as transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and adherence to the rule of law.
Concerns about governance have long been linked to economic development challenges in Africa, a notion that gained traction in the late 1970s as post-independence African economies were hit by major setbacks.
While governance systems vary across African nations, leadership remains a central issue.
The World Economics governance index provides insights into the governance performance of African countries. It evaluates governance through indicators such as corruption perception, rule of law, press freedom, and political rights.
The report reveals that Mauritius tops the list as the best-governed country in Africa, boasting a grade of B and an index score of 69.3. Namibia follows closely in second place with an index score of 69.1, while South Africa secures the third position with a score of 66.9.
Below are the 10 best governed countries in Africa according to World Economics:
Global rankings On the global space, Denmark, Norway, Finland, New Zealand, and Sweden ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively. Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Estonia, Australia, and the United Kingdom follow.
Ghana is 48th on the rankings as the West African nation edges out countries like Argentina, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brazil, Senegal, Malawi, Indonesia, India, Tunisia, Cote d’Ivoire, United Arab Emirates, Benin, Rwanda, Kenya, Morocco, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, amongst other countries.
