Municipal Beirut, which is predominantly Sunni and Christian, is infrequently targeted by Israel.

Hundreds of Sunni muslims and Christian Lebanese, not Hezbollah fighters, not Shia Moslems, murdered by Isreal and war-crime suspect Netanyahu!

The Sunnis and Christians do not even suport the Shia Hezbollah! Yet they are murdered in their hundreds right in their residential areas and shops in broad daylight. Smh.



JUST IN: Lebanon death toll rises to 254
At least 254 people have been killed and 1,165 wounded by Israeli attacks across Lebanon today, Lebanon’s civil defence is reporting.

JUST IN: At Least 1,281 Killed in Israel, Tasnim Finds
March, 22, 2026 - 21:29

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Hebrew website of Tasnim News Agency has concluded that the number of casualties in the occupied territories has surpassed 1,280 people.
The Hebrew group of Tasnim has examined data related to the following Israeli cemeteries:

[b](1) Har HaMenuchot Cemetery in Jerusalem

2) Yarkon Cemetery in Petah Tikva

3) Holon Cemetery in Holon

4) Segula Cemetery in Petah Tikva

5) Kiryat Shaul Cemetery in Tel Aviv

6) Har HaZeitim Cemetery in Jerusalem

7) Haifa Cemetery in Haifa

8 ) Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery in Givatayim

9) Rehovot Cemetery in Rehovot

10) Ashdod Cemetery in Ashdod

Tasnim has also taken a look at the casualties in the Chevra Kadisha organizations in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem (occupied al-Quds), Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Rishon LeZion, as well as data related to the movements of ZAKA (Zihuy Korbanot Ason) or “Disaster Victim Identification” teams, reaching the conclusion that the number of casualties in the recent war in Israel is at least 1,281.

Chevra Kadisha are the responsible organizations for burial affairs in Israel.

Based on the findings of the Hebrew website of Tasnim, an analysis of data related to the database of cemeteries in Israel indicates that the average number of deaths in the occupied territories is about 150 people on ordinary days. However, an additional daily average of 61 people has been added over the past 21 days, bringing the average number of those buried during these days to at least 211 per day.

Therefore, if the minimum casualties is estimated at an average of 61 people per day, a total of 1,281 fatalities can be projected over a period of 21 days.

The statistics related to the movements of ZAKA rescue teams also report 703 cases. Considering that ZAKA, unlike regular emergency services that use ambulances to transport the injured, is specifically for the deceased, this level of movement further substantiates the figure of 1,281 rather than what official Israeli accounts claim.

ZAKA teams are part of a volunteer rescue organization in the Zionist regime that operate at scenes of death and severe incidents, not in transporting the injured.

In this analysis, the statistics related to the casualties in Arad and Dimona that occurred yesterday have not yet been taken into account.

A SPEECH BY HIS MAJESTY THE KING CHARLES lll AT THE STATE BANQUET IN HONOUR OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND FIRST LADY OLUREMI TINUBU, Wednesday 18th March 2026

Your Excellency, Mr President, and Distinguished First Lady,

Ekabo. Se Daaa Daa Ni. (Greetings! I hope you are well.)

My wife and I are delighted to welcome you to Windsor Castle here on this occasion. We are most grateful to you for travelling during this holy month which, I acknowledge, is no small sacrifice, and so it is my particular pleasure to wish you, Mr President, peace, blessings, and an abundance of joy.

Ramadan Mubarak!

During my most recent visit to Nigeria in 2018, when I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with your highly respected traditional leaders, the Sultan of Sokoto, the Ooni of Ife, Onitsha, Warri, and The Emir of Kano, it was self-evident that while the warmth of the Nigerian welcome remains constant, the country itself is transforming at a remarkable pace. Nigeria hasn’t merely changed. It has arrived. Yours is now a nation of over two hundred and thirty million people, half of whom are under eighteen, with the energy, ingenuity, ambition and resolve to address the great challenges of our age.

We in the United Kingdom are blessed that so many people of Nigerian heritage, having chosen Britain as their home, are now at the heart of British life through excelling at the highest levels of business, technology, academia, law, science, sport, literature and the arts, and public service.

I have met so many of these quiet heroes in our schools, businesses, National Health Service and universities, including countless young people who have flourished through the work of my King’s Trust over the last fifty years. Only last week, I was delighted to host a rather lively group of them for a ‘Jollof and Tea’ Party, at St. James’s Palace. I was firmly assured that the Jollof was only the best: Nigerian, of course… or perhaps Ghanaian or Senegalese. Diplomatically I cannot remember!

But who could have imagined that, when I first visited Nigeria thirty-six years ago today, so many of those I might have met would have gone on to have such an impact in the United Kingdom. From Afrobeats filling our concert halls and Nollywood captivating our screens, to stars competing in our Premier League and adjudicating our highest courts, so much of Britain's culture is, in truth, profoundly enriched by Nigeria. Whether they are Nigerians who have chosen Britain as their adopted place to invest, trade or study, or Britons who cherish their personal connection to Nigeria, they all represent a living bridge of over half a million people who connect our nations, Mr President, and help make our cultures richer, our shared security stronger and our economies more prosperous.

We are proud that so many great examples of this living bridge join us this evening.

As the connections between our nations deepen every day, so too do the economic ties. Your visit has provided the opportunity to celebrate the fact that Nigeria is investing in Britain’s future as much as Britain is investing in Nigeria’s – leading Nigerian banks have chosen the City of London as a global base, examples of the best Nigerian companies have listed on London’s Stock Exchange, and U.K. Export Finance is supporting investment in Nigeria’s ports. In education, British schools and universities are opening their doors in Nigeria, and British and Nigerian technology companies are forming ever closer partnerships. I was pleased to see that visitors from Nigeria spent £178 million in Britain in 2024, and 251,000 people from Britain travelled to Nigeria and spent just as much, in return. In January of this year, Nigeria became the United Kingdom’s biggest export market in Africa and whilst I hear that in Nigeria the phrase ‘Made in U.K.’ has always symbolised the highest quality, it evidently now has a distinctively Nigerian flavour…

The friendship between our two countries, Mr President, is a partnership of equals that has brought us both enormous benefits. It has been described to me as a deeply spiritual connection – beyond churches and mosques – a deep bond through which we have strengthened our shared security, ensured our economies are more prosperous, and empowered each other to believe in a more hopeful future.

The many dynamic connections between our two nations have deep roots and yet I do not pretend that those roots are without a shadow. There are chapters in our shared history that I know have left some painful marks. I do not seek to offer words that dissolve the past, for no words can. But I do believe, as I know you believe, Mr President, that history is not merely a record of what was done to us – it is a lesson in how we go forward together to continue building a future rooted in hope and growth for all, and worthy of those who bore the pains of the past.

This afternoon, in another part of the Castle, Mr President, you and I witnessed one such example of how we are learning from one another when we met leaders of the British Christian and Muslim communities. The gathering was a deeply meaningful symbol of what Nigeria has long shown: that people of different faiths can, do, and must live alongside one another, in peace, in harmony and in shared purpose. It was also a timely reminder of the importance of standing with you – and in us strengthening your Quick Reaction Forces, or in providing food, nutrition and protection services in Northern Nigeria – when challenges disturb the age-old balance between these communities.

Your nation, Mr President, is an economic powerhouse, a cultural force and an influential diplomatic voice from a continent that is playing an increasingly important role in the world. In a vastly interconnected global environment, one that is changing at unimaginable speed, that leadership brings responsibility – and opportunity. I heed the Yoruba wisdom – and forgive me if I say it in English… that “rain does not fall on one roof alone”. As you observed so astutely before the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa in 2024, “if we didn’t have this global alliance… of fifty-six member states, 2.7 billion people and a combined G.D.P. forecast soon to surpass twenty trillion U.S. dollars… there would be a need to create one”. I believe firmly that, when rain clouds gather, we can tighten the grip of friendship between us and, in so doing, reinforce the central role of the Commonwealth in our shared future.

As the world changes, these are lessons we must heed now more than ever. As the Hausa saying goes, “when the music changes, so does the dance”. We can learn from Nigeria, and the best of the U.K. and Nigeria’s partnership, and harness the advantage that comes from our common languages, our similar legal systems, and the web of cultural ties and spiritual connections that provide such deep trust between us, and look to the future and learn new dance steps, together.

Mr President, you have spoken, in particular, of the importance of expanding intra- Commonwealth trade by creating shared standards, regulatory and digital alignment, and removing barriers that deter investment – as the U.K. and Nigeria’s Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership is just such an example – so that our economies can grow, in harmony with Nature, and create the millions of jobs our citizens need. So as we look towards C.H.O.G.M this year, I hope far from being past its time we can demonstrate that the Commonwealth’s time has come, as you so rightly said. In achieving that, my wife and I will gain strength from seeing Nigeria take her rightful place at the heart of the Commonwealth and to standing alongside you as a friend, who believes the future is best when built together. As the Igbo say, “Knowledge is never complete two heads are better than one”.

So as I close, Mr President, in anticipation of Eid El-Fitr in Nigeria and across the world, I can only wish you and the millions of Muslims in our countries, Eid Mubarak.

And, in doing so, let me propose a toast,

To the President and people of Nigeria –

“Naija No Dey Carry Last!” (Nigerians Never Come Last)

Nigerian leaders' state visits to the UK.

There are many types of visits that a head of state can ubdertake and they include state visit, official visit, an official working visit, a working visit, a guest-of-government visit, or a private visit.

A state visit is the highest level of visit that a head of state can undertake. It is a full ceremonial visit.

In the United Kingdom, the monarch (King or Queen) is the host during a state visit. The visiting head of state receives the 41 gun salute by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, he also receives the royal salute (national anthems), inspects the guards and is taken to the residence (Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle) in a royal procession (the visiting head of state and his delegation ride in royal carriages).

There is also a state banquet at which toasts are proposed.

The prime minister of the UK is the host for official and working visits and these visits have less ceremony and more business-like meetings.


There have been 3 state visits to the UK by Nigerian heads of state, General Yakubu Gowon paid a state visit from June 12th to 15th 1973, President Shehu Shagari paid a state visit to the UK from March 17th to 20th, 1981 and President Ibrahim Babangida paid a state visit to the UK from May 9th to May 12th, 1989.

President Bola Tinubu begins the 4th state visit to the UK by a Nigerian head of state today.

This thread contains details of those visits.

This photo reportedly shows a young Kim Jong-Un with his first school teacher around 1990.
At that time, Kim was a small child growing up in the ruling family of North Korea as the son of former leader Kim Jong Il. Children of the ruling family were usually educated in special, highly controlled environments with private tutors rather than normal public schools.
Photos from Kim Jong-un’s childhood are extremely rare, which is why images like this attract attention online. Later in his life, he was reportedly sent abroad to study in Switzerland under a secret identity before eventually returning to North Korea and becoming the country’s leader in 2011 after his father’s death.

Iran's Ambassador to Nigeria

Communique from the headquarters of them all!

A photograph taken on September 8, 1967, captures a young Enoch Adejare Adeboye with his bride Foluke Adenike Adeboye (née Adeyokunnu) on their wedding day. The couple were both 25 & 19 years old when they exchanged vows in a civil marriage ceremony, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership that would later become widely known across Nigeria’s Christian community.

The young man in the photograph would go on to become one of the most influential Pentecostal leaders in Africa, serving as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, while his wife would remain a strong pillar beside him through decades of ministry and family life.

The image stands today as a quiet reminder of their humble beginnings long before their names became known across the world.

Bola Tinubu placed first or second in all six geopolitical zones. Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi each finished third or lower in three of the six zones.

Even Atiku and Tinubu were not shown such bigotries in their own regions. Yet what the ibos see as great election is giving their own over 90% in the East and still defeats other people in their own regions.

Google introduces Yoruba, Hausa language support for AI search in Nigeria
Samson Akintaro by Samson Akintaro March 5, 2026
Google

Google has expanded language support for its AI Search features, AI Overviews and AI Mode, to include Yorùbá and Hausa.

According to a statement released on Thursday by Google, this update allows speakers of both Nigerian languages to utilize AI-powered Search experiences in their mother tongue for quick summaries and conversational exploration.

This expansion, Google said, is part of a broader effort to make AI more inclusive across the continent, with support now extending to a total of 13 African languages.

What they are saying
Google noted that by addressing language barriers, this update ensures that technology reflects the identity and culture of the people it serves.

“With this expansion, more people can now use AI Mode to ask complex questions in their preferred language, while exploring the web more deeply and naturally through text or voice.
“For Nigerians, this means that existing AI features in Google Search are now accessible to people like the student in Kano asking a question in Hausa, and the trader in Ibadan seeking advice in Yoruba,” the company stated.
Commenting on the development, Communications & Public Affairs manager, West Africa, Google, Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade said the language support was to ensure that Nigerians can converse with Search in their mother tongues, making information more helpful for everyone.”

The 13 languages now supported across Africa include Afrikaans, Akan, Amharic, Hausa, Kinyarwanda, Afaan Oromoo, Somali, Sesotho, Kiswahili, Setswana, Wolof, Yorùbá, and isiZulu.

Google said these languages were chosen based on the vibrant search activity across the continent, ensuring that our AI experiences reach the communities that need them most.

The new language support marks the latest in Google’s efforts to drive its AI usage in Nigeria. Just last month, the company expanded access to its latest AI image generation tools in Nigeria, enabling users to create high quality images directly within Google Search and Google Lens by simply describing what they want to see.

The feature, powered by Google’s newest image model Nano Banana 2, allows Nigerians to generate professional visuals in seconds using the Google App or a mobile browser.

The company said the rollout is part of efforts to democratise access to advanced AI tools for students, entrepreneurs, artists and everyday creators.

According to Google, the model is designed to be fast and context aware, delivering detailed images that reflect user prompts with improved realism and consistency.

“We want to make sure the best technology is accessible to everyone. Nigerians are some of the most creative people in the world, and today we’re expanding these tools to give them a new way to express that,” said Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, Communications & PR Manager, West Africa at Google.

He explained that a small business owner could visualise a new storefront concept in Yaba directly from a phone, while a storyteller could build a consistent character for a digital comic set in Lagos, all within seconds.

What you should know
A recent report had revealed that Nigeria is emerging as a global leader in the adoption of AI, particularly across learning, work, and entrepreneurship.

The report, developed by Google in partnership with Ipsos and titled ‘Our Life with AI: Helpfulness in the Hands of More People’, highlights how rapidly AI tools are being embraced by Nigerians and the strong optimism surrounding their use.

The findings suggested that AI is increasingly viewed as an enabler of innovation and self-employment, particularly in a digital-first economy.
