Bisi Akande has diarrhea of the mouth. His resent utterances has proved beyond doubt this zombie is there to like Tinubus Ass. Making unverified claims is perjury but in Nigeria its a way of life. People like Bisi Akande should tow the line of Rauf Aregbesola and denounce that demon in Aso Rock.
Politics › Obi Challenges Akande For Trying To "Rewrite History On #EndSARS" by Ironfaceman(op): 8:36am On Jan 31, 2025
Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has criticized former Osun State governor Bisi Akande for claiming that Obi’s supporters (known as Obidients) orchestrated the 2020 #EndSARS protest to derail President Bola Tinubu’s ambition.

Obi and the Obidient Movement called Akande’s narrative an attempt to rewrite history, saying it disrespected the memory of #EndSARS victims, particularly those who died.

The nationwide #EndSARS protest ran from October 7 to 20, initially demanding the disbandment of the notorious police wing called Special Anti-Robbery Squad before evolving into calls for good governance.

Protesters and security agents clashed, particularly in Lagos State, where soldiers allegedly shot at defenceless protesters at the Lekki Tollgate.
In a recent podcast with broadcaster Edmund Obilo, Akande claimed Obidients organized the #EndSARS protest to block Tinubu’s presidential ambition.He claimed foreign donations funded the movement.

He claimed foreign donations funded the movement.

“The Obidients were behind the #EndSARS. It was manufactured in America and brought in just to stop him (Tinubu). I said the Obidients, I didn’t say Obi.

“They came from America to do the #EndSARS and later became a movement to form a party. They couldn’t form a party. It was well planned and organised with a lot of money from America,” the octogenarian asserted.

Christianity Etc › Man Who Burned Quran ‘shot Dead In Sweden’ by Ironfaceman(op): 3:51pm On Jan 30, 2025
A man who sparked violent protests after burning the Quran has been shot dead in Sweden, according to local media reports.

Salwan Momika, 38, is reported to have been killed in an apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm, on Wednesday evening.

Unrest broke out after Mr Momika set fire to a copy of Islam’s holy book outside Stockholm Central Mosque in 2023.
Stockholm police said in a statement that five people had been arrested after a man in his 40s was shot dead overnight
Local media reported that Mr Momika had been livestreaming on social media around the time he was shot.

Mr Momika, an Iraqi living in Sweden, was charged in August alongside one other with “agitation against an ethnic group” on four occasions in the summer of 2023.

The verdict, due to be delivered on Thursday, was postponed after it was “confirmed that one of the defendants had died”, Stockholm District Court said.

Mr Momika carried out a series of anti-Islam protests, sparking outrage in many Muslim-majority countries.

Unrest took place at the Swedish embassy in Baghdad twice, while the Swedish ambassador was expelled from the city amid a diplomatic row.

The Swedish government had given Mr Momika permission for the protest in which he burnt the holy book, saying it was in accordance with its free-speech laws.

It later pledged to explore legal means of abolishing protests that involve burning texts in certain circumstances.

Family › Re: Ladies, You need to stop this habit! by Ironfaceman(m): 3:25pm On Jan 30, 2025

[quote author=Nnamdipapa post=133911812]So, I was in Walmart to pick up some items. We had already made a list before leaving home of what to buy. As a busy guy, I always like to stick to the list and the budget. After getting everything we came for, she suddenly remembered she had to buy herbal tea and some other items that weren’t on the list.

I stood waiting around while she wandered through the store, looking to add more items to our list. Why is it that women find it hard to stick to a shopping list and budget? This makes me angry, and it’s not the first time. Every time we go shopping, we end up wasting time.

best advice do your shopping solo and save face. Except you want to spend more than you budget, there's always something she needs that you never know.
Be wise.

Sports › Neymar And Al-hilal Agree To Terminate Player’s Contract By Mutual Consent by Ironfaceman(op): 7:51pm On Jan 28, 2025
CNN
—
Neymar and Al-Hilal have come to an agreement to terminate the player’s contract by mutual consent, the club announced on Monday.


The 32-year-old joined the Saudi club in a high-profile move in August 2023 for a reported €90 million ($98.5M), but injuries have limited him to just seven appearances since.

Just months after joining, Neymar ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in October 2023 and was out of action until October 2024. However, he played just two games after returning and had been sitting out again since November.

“The club expresses its thanks and appreciation to Neymar for what he has provided throughout his career with Al-Hilal, and wish the player success in his career,” a club statement read.
Neymar, who was the biggest star to move to the Saudi league after Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, recorded just one goal and two assists for Al-Hilal.
The Brazil international, still the world’s most expensive player after his $263 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, is widely reported to be heading back to boyhood club Santos, where he came through the youth ranks

Neymar, the Seleção’s all-time leading scorer, left Santos in 2013 to join Barcelona as one of the most promising youngsters to ever come out of Brazil.

He went on to win the Champions League and two La Liga titles in his time at the Catalan giant, forming part of the prolific ‘MSN’ strike trio alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.

In France, Neymar won five league titles with PSG but was unable to help the club reach its ultimate goal of winning the Champions League.

Neymar’s return to Santos has been widely reported in Brazilian media and could be agreed as early as this week.

Neymar made his debut for the Alvinegro in 2009 and led the team to glory in the Copa Libertadores, South American’s Champions League equivalent, in 2011 by scoring in the final.

Santos is now back in Serie A, Brazil’s top division, after winning promotion from Serie B in 2024.
