Even if they want to have, it won't be Michelle Obama, a black woman. A country that refused to vote a white woman, Hilary Clinton. The US is the most hypocritical of all countries.

Michelle Obama says America 'not ready' for woman president: 'We saw in this past election'

Former first lady Michelle Obama said Americans are "not ready" to elect a woman to the White House, citing former Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential election loss to President Donald Trump.


Obama made the comments to a crowd of women at the Brooklyn Academy of Music while promoting her new book, "The Look."

"As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready," she said on Friday.

That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not," she continued.

The former first lady went on to say that she does not believe men in America are comfortable with a woman leading them.

"You know, we’ve got a lot of growing up to do, and there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it," Obama said.

In her book, which was released on Nov. 4, Obama touches on her journey with fashion, hair and beauty, as well as her time in the White House as the first Black woman to serve as first lady. She wrote that women in politics are often judged based on their physical appearance instead of their ability to lead.

"During our family’s time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled. For a while now, I’ve been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I’m thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned along the way," Obama wrote on Facebook in June while promoting her book ahead of its release.

A Palestinian woman from Gaza who was recently freed from Israeli detention has reported being subjected to sexual violence in Israeli prisons, according to a statement by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).

The PCHR documented her testimony, revealing what it described as an “organised and systematic practice of sexual torture including rape, forced stripping, forced filming, [and] sexual assault using objects and dogs” perpetrated by Israeli soldiers. N.A. (42) was detained in November 2024 while crossing an Israeli checkpoint in northern Gaza.

PCHR also reported that male detainees were targeted.

Another detainee, M.A., aged 18, who was taken by Israeli forces near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution centre in Palestine’s Gaza, testified that Israeli soldiers “ordered me and six other detainees to kneel, and they raped us by inserting a bottle into the anus.”

These videos show Sammy, Regina’s brother, repeatedly coming to my home and harassing my children and domestic staff, especially whenever I was not around. His visits were often aggressive and disruptive.

This is someone I sponsored through his last two years at the University of Ekpoma. I bought his musical instruments, rented and furnished a flat for him in Abuja, in addition to the house I bought for Regina in Asaba before our marriage for the use of all of them. I also routinely provided allowances to all members of the family, including her mother, Rita Daniel. Indeed, in the last two years, I have a record of transferring ₦125 million to her alone.

When Regina started her rehabilitation, there was a clear instruction by the doctors to strictly restrict people, especially her enablers, from having access to her. The therapy was arranged after I noticed troubling changes in her behavior linked to her dependence on certain illegal substances, including going for 48 hours without sleeping and eating every two hours.

Unfortunately, Sammy, Destiny, some of their siblings, together with a few of their friends, notably Sonia Uche Montana among others, constantly defied those instructions. They would come into the house uninvited, sometimes forcing their way in, and would bring her the same drugs she was being treated for. Instead of helping her recover, they encouraged her addiction and completely frustrated the efforts of the doctors and therapists working with her.

It is important to note that Lawrence, Sammy, his girlfriend NK, Destiny, Sonia, and others also took the same drugs as Regina. In fact, Lawrence and Sammy were the ones who first introduced and supplied these drugs to her. They were deeply involved in the habit themselves, and rather than helping her get better, they kept drawing her back into the same destructive lifestyle. I do not drink alcohol nor smoke. In fact, I am a vegetarian. So I found these characters and behaviors reprehensible and totally unacceptable.

Just four weeks ago, I woke up around 4 a.m. and realized that Regina was in my room and on the phone. She was clearly high, and she knows that I do not want her in my room in that condition. I asked her to go to her room, and she told me that Sammy’s girlfriend was in her room. I was alarmed and angry because that girl should never have been in my house, let alone around Regina, since she is one of the enablers who constantly bring her the substances she is addicted to.

I told Regina that the girl had to leave, and one of my drivers dropped her off. Thirty minutes later, Sammy came to my house shouting and demanding that I come downstairs to face him. He said I had no right to ask his girlfriend to leave my house. He was ranting and threatening, waking up everyone, including the children. I eventually went downstairs and had to instruct the security to physically push him out of my compound. The level of audacity was shocking. Without the influence of drugs, could he have been so bold and disrespectful?

They did not stop there. On several occasions, they verbally assaulted and intimidated the police officers stationed at the house for security. The officers were simply following instructions to restrict access for the sake of Regina’s recovery, but Sammy and his group would insult and threaten them.

Whenever Regina wanted to go out and I was not around, she would become extremely hostile toward the police and domestic staff. She would shout, threaten, and use abusive words, insisting that she must leave the house no matter what.

There were at least two serious incidents where she left home in the evening and did not return until the next day. The first incident she returned in the morning around 9 a.m. When I asked where she had been all night, she casually said she was at a nightclub. When I questioned why she would stay out all night, ignoring my calls and refusing to answer messages, her response was, “You are not my father, so don’t ask me where I was.” I found out that she was with Cassie and that Cassie was staying in Regina’s house in life camp. Cassie is the chemist and supplier of the group. I had to go to life camp at 6pm to ask her to leave. With her around Regina, the therapy became a joke. On another occasion, on the kids’ birthday to be precise, I returned home with the kids because Regina said she would stay with her Nollywood friends for dinner. She didn’t return until 5 p.m. the next day. I took so much nonsense just for the sake of the kids. I also knew that drugs had a lot to do with it.

As to her reasons for continuing with drugs, she will always say, just like her mother, that it is a celebrity lifestyle. They will always mention two well-known pop stars.

Imagine the pain of a husband trying to help his wife recover, only to have the process sabotaged by her siblings and friends, the very people who should have been supporting her healing.

This pattern of behavior made it almost impossible for her to recover. Each time progress was made, they would undo it by smuggling in the same drugs she was fighting to give up. The entire household lived in tension and fear because of their constant harassment, interference, and disregard for boundaries.

It will be interesting to know her reasons for the violent behavior in the house the day that Sammy and other siblings came and attacked my staff and security, taking Regina away after doing a video which they posted the next day. Why did they do that video? Why did they post it? They simply planned and orchestrated a script all in my absence, regardless of the fact that my kids were there. They took away many things from my house, including one of my phones, money, and many other items.

Everything that happened that day was in my house, in my absence. Nobody was beaten, and nobody could have contemplated that. It is blatantly false to say that I sent thugs to beat Regina in another house. The video that went viral was filmed entirely in front of my house by Regina’s sister and her friend. It was a pure Nollywood scenario, in front of my property, in my absence.

Sammy should have a life of his own outside of Regina and pursue his career. When his brother Lawrence went to London a couple of years ago to do his master’s, I also offered the same opportunity to Sammy, but he declined and insisted he wanted to stay in Nigeria and pursue his career in music. He has been arrested a few times by the police and the EFCC. He needs a total rehab; otherwise, his violent behavior will continue.

Solomon from Ohuhu, Oju LGA of Benue state was found dead yesterday around Eko Atlantic in Lagos

He was beaten to death by security operatives around the area who were looking for suspected criminals who tried stealing iron rods from the construction site in Eko Atlantic.

He was just on his way to the site where he also works, and they accused him of being amongst the thieves. He was not allowed to prove his innocence even after several pleas by him that he is not among them.

The security folks had him beaten till death and left his body at the river bank since Friday last week.

Rapper Nicki Minaj is facing a mountain of hate online after she praised President Donald Trump for threatening military action against Nigeria over the "slaughter" of Christians.

Over the weekend, Trump alleged "Islamic terrorists" were being allowed to kill Christians in Nigeria, and if this alleged practice continued, the U.S. could halt aid and storm into the West African country "guns-a-blazing."


In a Truth Social post, he wrote ... "I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet.”

Nicki seemed to cosign the threats, sharing a screenshot of DT's message and writing ... “No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other."


She continued ... "Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror, & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice."

Closing, she wrote ... “Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer,” the "Super Freaky Girl" artist wrote.

It's unclear what prompted Trump to call out Nigeria this weekend ... BBC News quotes Nigerian President Bola Tinubu pointing out people "across faiths and regions" have faced violence in the country, which is about evenly divided between Christians and Muslims. CNN reports on victims of both faiths in brutal attacks across the country this year.


As one could imagine, many Nicki fans were not happy. One follower told Minaj that MAGA Republicans have been attempting to "weaponize religion so YOUR GAY FANS can be pushed into a corner and silenced."

In a now-deleted post, Nicki allegedly responded, "Imagine hearing the Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay," according to The Independent.
