My bros hunger no hear grammar oh. FG has been releasing loans upon loans, fertilizer upon fertilizers, tractors, equipments for decades yet what was the result? Foreign rice was double the price of local ones but immediately the FG gave billions to Rice farmers through Anchor borrowers program which wasn't paid back, the farmers magically increased food prices by 300%. Are we even sufficient in any food production no. FG is still in the business of supporting farmers but i think the fraud and abuse going on in the Agric sector is worst than the oil sector before the removal of oil subsidy. I know obedients are mad because food prices are coming down for they would rather see Nigerians go through high food inflation to justify their hatred for the president. After all, one of them changed the color of naira suddenly in the wake of an election and put millions of people in suffering just to stop the same man from winning the election. They are ultimately happy to see millions of Nigeria perish just to say "We said so" than to see people happy. Farmer's Association should put their house in order and stop hoarding food to create artificial scarcity. It's even. I fully support the Government to flood the market with imported food each time food producers are hoarding food stuffs

Israel’s war in Gaza amounts to genocide, the United Nations has formally assessed for the first time.

In a detailed 72-page report, the UN concludes that Israel is committing genocide as defined by the 1948 Genocide Convention and is waging its campaign with “intent” – a crucial element of the crime that is the hardest to prove.

“The Commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza,” said Navi Pillay, Chair of the UN Commission set up to investigate war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.

“It is clear that there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

The report was published by the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory which has been tracking events in Gaza since the October 7 massacre two years ago in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.

The UN’s has determined that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza as defined by the 1948 Genocide Convention
It concludes that Israel has “committed four of the five genocidal acts defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent births”.

The commission found no evidence of the forcible removal of children – the fifth genocidal act listed in the 1948 convention.

Although individuals working for the UN have accused Israel of genocide in Gaza previously, this is the first time the supranational body has issued a formal assessment of genocide.

The release of the commission’s finding came as Israel reportedly launched a new ground invasion targeting Gaza City, a month after Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, ordered the military to seize the territory’s largest urban centre.

The new offensive, reported by Axios, coincides with mounting international pressure on Israel to end the almost two-year war. Several counties, including Britain, are set to recognise a Palestinian state this month.

The report will cause outrage in Israel which maintains the war in Gaza is a war of “self-defence” and therefore legal. It will also be rejected by the US and possibly other UN Security Council members, including Britain.

In a letter published earlier this month, David Lammy, the then Foreign Secretary, noted that the crime of genocide requires intent to be proven said the British government had “not [at the time] concluded that Israel is acting with that intent.”

The UN’s assessment will bolster the case brought by South Africa to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel for genocide by providing it with added weight and evidence.

“This is significant because the Commission of Inquiry has a standing in the international system,” said Dr Shane Darcy, deputy director and professor at the Irish Centre for Human Rights in the School of Law. “Other entities will take notice, including the International Court of Justice, where there are already proceedings [against Israel] underway”.

The UN Commission found Israel had “intentionally killed and seriously harmed an unprecedented number” of Palestinians; caused “starvation” by blocking humanitarian aid and “implemented a concerted policy to destroy the healthcare system of Gaza”.

Israel, like Hamas before it, had also committed “sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians” including “rape, sexualised torture and forms of sexual violence” as part of “a pattern of collective punishment to fracture, humiliate and subjugate the Palestinian population in its entirety”, it said.

The Commission found that children were “deliberately and directly targeted by the Israeli security forces”, including during evacuation at shelters and food distribution sites.

It added that “children were shot by snipers and quadcopters, and some were killed while holding white flags.”

The finding of “intent” will be most controversial. The Commission says this was established – not through a single document or confession – but that it was the “only reasonable inference” to be drawn from the totality of Israel’s statements and actions.

Statements made by the Israeli authorities, as well as the pattern of conduct of the Israeli military in Gaza, “are direct evidence of genocidal intent,” the Commission said.

Mr Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, Israel’s former defence minister, and Isaac Herzog, its president, are all named in the report as having “incited the commission of genocide” in Gaza.

“The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons who have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza,” said Ms Pillay.

The application of “reasonable inference” as a legal standard to prove intent is certain to attract criticism from Israel and will be fiercely challenged if and when the case is eventually heard by the ICJ.

Ultimately, only the court and its panel judges can decide if a case of genocide has been proven or not.

Israel has refused to cooperate with the Commission, accusing it and its leader, Ms Pillay, of being “fundamentally biased” against the Jewish state.

Although today’s publication looks at events of the last two years, the Commission was first established in 2022 to look at Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian territories more widely.

The Commission’s chair, Ms Pillay, is a former high court judge best known for her work on International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda following the genocide there.

Israel has attacked the United Nations throughout the current war, accusing its Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, and other senior members of its organisations of bias and anti-Semitism.

Israel stopped cooperating with another of its arms – the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) – earlier in the war after alleging that it had been infiltrated by Hamas.

As of July 2025, 153 states, including Israel, have either ratified or acceded to the 1948 Genocide Convention, obliging them to act, and the Commission urged them to “employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in Gaza”.

It said member states should stop sending arms and other equipment to Israel that may be used to commit genocidal acts, and the controversial US-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites in the south of the enclave should be shut down immediately, it added.

“The international community cannot stay silent on the genocidal campaign launched by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza,” said Ms Pillay.

“Every day of inaction costs lives and erodes the credibility of the international community. All States are under a legal obligation to use all means that are reasonably available to them to stop the genocide in Gaza,” she added.

Over 66,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the outbreak of war, according to figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry which do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

In August, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) – a globally recognised system for classifying the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition – confirmed for the first time that a famine was playing out in Gaza City, prompting international condemnation.

Separately, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Israel accused the authors of the UN Commission’s report of being “Hamas proxies” and dismissed its findings.

“The report relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others,” it said in a statement.

It added: “In stark contrast to the lies in the report, Hamas is the party that attempted genocide in Israel murdering 1,200 people, raping women, burning families alive, and openly declaring its goal of killing every Jew.

“Israel categorically rejects this distorted and false report and calls for the immediate abolition of this Commission of Inquiry.

“Three individuals serving as Hamas proxies, notorious for their openly antisemitic positions – and whose horrific statements about Jews have been condemned worldwide – released today another fake ‘report’ about Gaza.”

Cats carry a parasite that alters behaviour.
You are not supposed to expose an infant to cats.
Google it.
The same parasite is very common in gay men and promiscuous people.
It is passed through fecal matter both from cats and in humans who have been exposed to it.
The crazy cat lady isn't just a meme.
Witches in medieval Europe used to lick the anus of cats. They believed it made them see spirits. It made them mad. The crazy witch with the black cat stereotype.
Also, this parasites leads to reckless behavior and unnecessary risk taking - something very common in homosexual men and their self harming habits that include degenerate and dehumanising sex , excess drug intake , and the need to have dangerous sex with people that will harm or even kill them.

Kirk was killed in Utah US, why is Elon using a US citizen's death inside of US to fan flames of hate in UK?

Nothing compares to the ability and creativity of the brain. Take for instance the human brain could identify an information and build sarcasm but the AI model can't.
Its best to see AI models as an extra hand to complete human effort and not a competition.

ELON MUSK ALONE AS A WHITE MAN IS CLAIMING SOUTH AFRICA, CANADIAN, UNITED STATE S OF AMERICA, EUROPE AND UNITED KINGDOM.
IF WE CHECK WELL MAYBE AUSTRAILA TOO.
AND NO HE IS NOT GREED, IT IS THE IMMIGRANTS IN UK THAT ARE GREED.

RaptorX:
They are finally openly fed up with the endless migration from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

epainos:
The UK cannot rough handle immigrants. Dem go pay. Immigrants are their saving grace in the care of their elders and those in need of assistance. The UK universities will die as soon as immigrants boycott them. The UK cannot survive without immigrants. The US can still last longer on that route than the UK. I am sure the power hijackers only want to use this strategy to get to power, and then, they will open the gates for immigrants again.

MadamExcellency:
Western civilisation is under threat. The provocateurs are people who ran away from their country because those countries aren't working or favouring them but they came to the USA and never want to integrate but to turn it into the hell they came from

I like this type of protest peaceful and very civil very Civic unlike what happened in Nepal and what happened in Lagos then

Massive protest in UK currently happening now.

About 110,000 people attending 'unite the kingdom' rally, say Met police
The Metropolitan police believe that there are about 110,000 people in attendance at the ‘unite the kingdom’ demonstration and about 5,000 at the Stand Up to Racism march.

Speaking to the Guardian on Saturday afternoon, the Met police said:

It is difficult to estimate numbers in attendance at busy protests but we use a combination of CCTV and police helicopter footage to do so.
We believe the number of people in attendance at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration is around 110,000.
We believe the number of people in attendance at the ‘Stand Up To Racism’ demonstration is around 5,000.
Estimates provided by organisers and the police will often differ.

Elon Musk addresses the "unite the kingdom" march crowd via video link
Elon Musk has addressed crowd attending the “unite the kingdom” march, via video link. He spoke to march leader, far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, over the video call.

Musk claimed that a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of Government” is needed in the UK. He said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of Government in Britain. You can’t - we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long. Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of Parliament and a new vote held.”

Musk told the march rally: “My appeal is to British common sense, which is to look carefully around you and say ‘If this continues, what world will you be living in?’
“This is a message to the reasonable centre, the people who ordinarily wouldn’t get involved in politics, who just want to live their lives. They don’t want that, they’re quiet, they just go about their business.

“My message is to them: if this continues, that violence is going to come to you, you will have no choice. You’re in a fundamental situation here. Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that’s the truth, I think.”

The X owner told the crowd “the left are the party of murder”, referring to the death of Charlie Kirk. He said: “There’s so much violence on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing with here.”

Musk also said that the British public are “scared to exercise their free speech” and claimed the BBC was “complicit in the destruction of Britain”.

When they finished their conversation, Robinson said: “Not only are we in the fight right now, but we’re on the advance thanks to free speech being fought for, for us, by Elon Musk.”

DomPerignon:
If Satanyahu is to kick the bucket this moment, Israel's madness will end.


It will end not because Satanyahu is the one inspiring and leading the madness, it will end because the religious nut jobs in the Likud party will pack it up .


You must understand that the ultra zealot Zionist Likud party see Satanyahu as the one to hand over to the Jewish messiah.

The believe Satanyahu is the Jewish equivalent of John the Baptist.


This is because of a long dead Rebbe of Chabad movement who prophesied to Satanyahu that he will be the one to usher in the Jewish messiah.

The jews have up till on or before the end of 2030 to unveil their messiah whom they say is already born and alive.

The date is key as Israel will reach its 80yr curse deadline by 2028 and if the messiah isn't unveiled by the end of 2030, the Jewish messiah will never come.

To usher in the Jewish messiah, the Jews believe that all of Palestine must be rid of Christianity that's why they are bombing and bulldozing churches not only in Gaza and the West Bank but across occupied Palestine.

They are also expected to rid Palestine of it's ancient Israelite people whom the Palestinians share the closest DNA link with - Palestinians carry 95% of ancient Israelite DNA . No population on earth shares as much closeness today as the Palestinians to the ancient Israelites.

If Satanyahu dies suddenly (he is on his second triple bypass heart surgery and has a pacer inserted in him - he is ironically and literally heartless) and just underwent a prostrate surgery this year, the entire madness that is Zionism comes to an abrupt halt and the Jews will all pack up and leave knowing their messiah will never come so staying in Palestine is all a waste.
