He was born to a US citizen soldier on an army base in Germany. Now he’s been deported to Jamaica, a country he’d never been to
Born on a US military base, the son of a US citizen father serving in the Army, Jermaine Thomas never considered he might not be American.
A month ago, he found himself shackled at the wrists and ankles and forced aboard a flight for Jamaica, his father’s birthplace and a country Thomas had never been to before.
“It’s too hard to put in words,” Thomas told CNN. “I just think to myself, this can’t really be happening.”
He is legally stateless, he told CNN. He is not a citizen of the US, although his father was a US citizen; Germany, where he was born at a US military hospital; Jamaica, his father’s homeland; or Kenya, where his mother was born.
Thomas, 39, says he spoke to CNN from a homeless shelter in Kingston, Jamaica, a city where he now finds himself stranded hundreds of miles away from his friends and family after an arrest for criminal trespass led to him being transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
Family members told CNN they are scared to visit Thomas out of fear they might be unable to return to the US – caught up in the Trump administration’s sprawling deportation campaign.
Thomas says his only option now is to apply for Jamaican citizenship through his late father. But he does not plan to, since “my life, my kids, my family is back in the States,” he said.
Jamaica is “not a bad place,” he told CNN. “It’s just not the place for me. I don’t belong here.”
Born abroad, raised in the US Thomas was born in 1986, at a US military hospital in Frankfurt, Germany, to a mother born in Kenya and a US citizen father who eventually spent more than a decade in the military, where he repaired Army helicopters. His father became a naturalized US citizen in 1984, according to documents reviewed by CNN.
A close family member of Thomas, who asked not to be identified due to fear of “retaliation” from immigration authorities, told CNN “There was never a question of whether he was American,” as far as his family believed, since he was born to an American father on a US military base.
The family returned to the US from Germany in 1989. A visa form listed the nationality of 3-year-old Thomas as Jamaican, according to court filings, and he entered the country as a legal permanent resident. His father, who died in 2010, would have handled the son’s paperwork, according to the family member, who said the family was unaware he was listed as Jamaican on the form.

Courtesy Jermaine Thomas Thomas grew up in Florida and Virginia but spent most of his adult life in Texas, where he worked a variety of odd jobs, including in construction, cleaning, and working for a car wash. He was often homeless and was convicted of various crimes, including drug possession, robbery and theft stretching back to at least 2006, which led to several years of incarceration. He served a 30-day sentence in 2011 for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. Thomas most recently spent 2020 to 2023 incarcerated for driving while intoxicated and harassment of a public servant, a third-degree felony, according to Texas Department of Public Safety records.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described Thomas as “a violent, criminal illegal alien from Jamaica” who “spent nearly two decades posing a significant threat to public safety” in a statement shared with CNN. “Dangerous criminal aliens like Mr. Thomas have no place in American communities,” she said.
Thomas acknowledged he has committed crimes, including violent crimes. He said he was “put in situations in life where, you know, your hand’s forced to survive one way or another.” He has the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder, according to medical records reviewed by CNN, and says he was taking psychiatric medication in the US – although he’s now about to run out of his medications in Kingston.
His family member said Thomas has “made a lot of wrong choices” exacerbated by his mental health problems but he is “not violent.” They think he should face legal consequences for any crimes he has committed in the US instead of being deported to a foreign country where he has no legal standing.
An eviction changed everything Thomas says the saga resulting in him being stranded and homeless in Jamaica started in February, when he was evicted from the apartment he shared with friends in Killeen, Texas, about an hour north of Austin.
Constables serving the eviction notice took all the items out of the home and left them in the front yard, Thomas said. Thomas returned the next day to check on his and his roommates’ belongings, along with his adoptive daughter’s dog. Then police arrived, saying they received a call about a dog chained up. He pointed out the dog was on a leash, not chained up, and when police asked for his identification, he refused, saying he had not committed any crimes. Then officers handcuffed him and took him to jail, and the dog to the pound, he said.
Records from the Texas Department of Public Safety show he was arrested on February 21 for criminal trespass, a misdemeanor. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 30 days in jail, along with a $100 fine and court costs. He told CNN he pleaded no contest because his court-appointed lawyer told him trying to fight the charge could leave him in jail for months.
"I keep thinking I'm back home until I wake up and walk around," Thomas said. "I keep thinking I'm back home until I wake up and walk around," Thomas said. Courtesy Jermaine Thomas The Killeen Police Department told CNN they became involved after a request from Animal Control but didn’t offer more details on how the arrest unfolded. CNN has reached out to the Bell County attorney’s office for comment about the public defender’s work on the case.
At the end of his 30-day sentence, Thomas was picked up by ICE and transferred to an immigration facility. After a few weeks, he says, he was put in a cell with men who said they were going to be deported to Nicaragua.
“I banged on the door and asked for an officer to come let me know what was going on,” he said. Then, he said, a supervisor assured him he was not going to be deported, just transferred to another facility.
Tell us your immigration crackdown story
But in the transport van, he said he was told some detainees were being deported to Nicaragua and the others to Jamaica. Despite his protests to the contrary, officers insisted he was a Jamaican citizen being deported to Jamaica, he said, and forced him on a plane. He said he was “treated like a fugitive,” surrounded by 10 US Marshals on the plane. ICE referred CNN to the Department of Homeland Security’s statement on the case.
Aboard a plane to a country he’d never been to on May 28, with only the clothes on his back, “All hope was lost,” he said. “I didn’t see a future.”
Battle for citizenship Thomas said until his early 20s, he never considered he might not be a US citizen. Since his father was a US citizen, he never questioned his own immigration status.
It all changed in 2008, when he was picked up by ICE after he was released from a two-year jail sentence for felony drug possession charges. He recalled his father explained his situation to immigration authorities and he was released. Then, in 2013, he received a Notice to Appear from the Department of Homeland Security, which alleged he was a Jamaican citizen with criminal convictions in the US and thus subject to deportation.
The proceedings led to a lengthy legal battle centered on whether a US military base counts as “in the United States” for the purposes of birthright citizenship, a legal principle clouded by uncertainty after a recent Supreme Court ruling. While his lawyers have argued, as the son of a US citizen born on a US military base, Thomas is a citizen under the 14th Amendment, a 2015 appeals court ruling found he was not a citizen and was deportable. The Supreme Court denied a petition to hear his case, which was supported by several members of Congress in 2016.
In its denial, the Supreme Court supported the lower court’s finding that being born on a US military base did not count as being born “in the United States” for the purposes of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born “in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Although the US military controls its bases abroad, they aren’t considered US territory, according to the State Department.
Additionally, people like Thomas born to at least one US citizen abroad are typically automatically US citizens – though there are some restrictions, and the law has changed over time. But Thomas’ US citizen father “did not meet the physical presence requirement of the statute in force at the time of Thomas’s birth,” making him ineligible for citizenship through his father, too, the appeals judge ruled. At the time of Thomas’ birth, his father had only been in the United States – including his military service – for nine years; the law required he be in the country for 10 years to confer citizenship on his children. If Thomas had been born just a year later, he would be a US citizen.
In filings to the Supreme Court, Thomas’ lawyers referenced John McCain, the longtime senator from Arizona, who was born on a US naval base in the Panama Canal Zone. When McCain ran for president in 2008, his birthplace attracted scrutiny, since the Constitution requires a US president to be a “natural-born citizen,” a phrase inspiring debate. But a bipartisan legal review concluded he was indeed a natural-born citizen and eligible for the presidency. The government in Thomas’ case argued the Panama Canal Zone was at the time of McCain’s birth a US sovereign territory, unlike the military base where Thomas was born in Germany.
Thomas’ relative said they were shocked by the court finding against him, especially considering his father served 18 years in the military.
“My question is, why would you hold a child responsible for something that he had no control over or knowledge of?” they asked.
Despite the court ruling he was not a US citizen, Thomas stayed in the country, the only home he’s ever known. He said after his Supreme Court bid was rejected, he reported to immigration authorities in San Antonio for several months until, he says, an officer told him he didn’t need to report back anymore.
“I’d like for all those serving any branch of government service to know that this can happen to their children when they pass away, after putting their lives on the line for this country,” he said.
‘Like a life sentence’ Thomas struggled to understand his situation as a stateless person after the 2016 Supreme Court denial. “Who’s ever even really heard of such a thing?” he said. “What are you supposed to do when you’re stateless?”
He says he is not a citizen of Germany, where a birth certificate reviewed by CNN verifies he was born in a US military hospital, or of Jamaica, confirmed by a letter sent to Thomas by the Jamaican consulate in Miami and reviewed by CNN. Under the Jamaican constitution, children of Jamaican citizens born outside the country have to formally apply for citizenship. Neither is he a citizen of Kenya, where his mother was born and only fathers can pass down citizenship to children born abroad.
Situations like Thomas’ are relatively new and uncommon in the US, according to Betsy Fisher, an immigration lawyer and lecturer in refugee law at the University of Michigan Law School.
A stateless person is “a person whom no state considers as a national under the operation of its law,” she said. There were estimated to be over 200,000 stateless people in the US in 2022, according to the University of Chicago Law School’s Global Human Rights Clinic.
Legally speaking, Thomas has likely been stateless his whole life, Fisher explained, which made him “vulnerable to being deported and experiencing this loss of community, connections, legal identity, everything that he’s experiencing in Jamaica.”
His situation “falls kind of perfectly in these cracks between ways to be a US citizen,” she said.
US law doesn’t require a person be a citizen or have any legal status in a country to which they’re deported, she said, and the US isn’t a party to either of two UN conventions on statelessness, which offer people at least some protections. Nonetheless, it’s “a recent phenomenon that a stateless person would be deported to a country where they don’t have a legal connection.”
“It’s been hard, inconvenient, and often I think seen as inhumane to deport someone to a place where they’re not going to have any legal status,” she said.
Attempts during Joe Biden’s administration to provide protections for stateless people in the US have been rescinded under the Donald Trump administration, she said.
“We’re really moving backwards on this issue,” she said. “This would be something that Congress could very rapidly fix if they were motivated to do so.”
Thomas’ relative described his stateless status as being “like a life sentence.”
“You live on the fringes of society, because you don’t have no legal status that gives you a chance to work, to have housing, to do anything,” they said.
Homeless in a foreign country Waking up each day in the sweltering heat of Kingston, hundreds of miles away from his friends and family, “it takes me a while to get a grip on reality,” Thomas said.
“I just can’t realize that I’m still here,” he said. “Like this is a bad dream. This is a nightmare, but I’m really here.”
He originally stayed in a hotel room paid for by Jamaica’s Ministry of National Security, he told CNN. But he says he’s now in a homeless shelter, which can be loud, hot, and chaotic. “I’m always hungry, completely exhausted, on constant alert” in the shelter, he said.
Since he’s neither a Jamaican citizen nor a foreign citizen, he’s unable to apply for a legal ID and work in the country, he said. “I don’t know what I’m about to do,” he said. “I don’t know nobody.”
Although the people he has interacted with in Jamaica have been “respectful and hospitable,” most of them speak Jamaican Patois, an English-based creole language he finds difficult to understand. “There’s a lot of barriers and a lot of complications,” he said.
Thomas’ relative said it is “horrible” to monitor his harrowing situation from afar, speaking with him daily via social media messages. His family, some of whom are not US citizens, told CNN they want to visit but feel terrified they will be barred from returning to the US.
“It’s like I’ve lost him forever,” the relative said. “Because I will never go there, because chances are, I will not be allowed back.”
Thomas, meanwhile, misses “the feeling of freedom and being free to be myself” in the United States.
“I just want to know when I’m going home,” he said.
It’s not a joke—the BBL smell is real. And it's horrible.
The "BBL smell" refers to an odor some patients experience after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a cosmetic surgery involving fat transfer to the buttocks. Based on recent articles and social media discussions, the phenomenon is real but not universal, and its severity varies. Here’s a breakdown of the evidence and factors involved:
Causes of the Odor: The smell is often linked to the healing process. During a BBL, small incisions are made for liposuction and fat injection, which can release fluids like serous fluid (a mix of lymph and blood). If not cleaned properly, these fluids can foster bacterial growth, leading to a musty or sour odor. Sweat trapped in compression garments or under the skin, especially in warm areas like the buttocks, can also contribute. More concerningly, fat necrosis—when injected fat dies due to insufficient blood supply—can produce a foul smell, sometimes described as "rotting flesh." Poor hygiene, particularly difficulty cleaning around a larger backside, exacerbates the issue.
Prevalence and Normalcy: A mild odor is considered common and usually harmless during the first few weeks of recovery, as the body expels fluids and heals. Surgeons note that with proper hygiene—regular cleaning, using fragrance-free wipes or bidets, and washing compression garments—the smell typically resolves. However, persistent or strong odors, especially with symptoms like redness, swelling, or fever, may indicate complications like infection or fat necrosis, requiring medical attention.
Anecdotal Reports: Social media, particularly TikTok, has amplified awareness of the BBL smell. A viral video by @donpsoundsoff described a date’s BBL odor as “an assault on my nose,” sparking widespread discussion. Another TikToker, @kaymontana24, claimed her BBL caused a persistent smell that led to health issues, a breakup, and eventual reversal of the procedure. These stories, while compelling, are anecdotal and may reflect extreme cases or improper aftercare rather than the norm.
Expert Opinions: Surgeons like Dr. Eric Anderson and Dr. Douglas Steinbrech confirm the smell’s existence, attributing it to healing fluids, bacterial growth, or fat necrosis. They emphasize that proper surgical technique and post-operative care significantly reduce the risk. However, the procedure’s high complication rate—BBLs have the highest mortality rate among cosmetic surgeries, with 1 in 20,000 procedures fatal—underscores the importance of choosing qualified surgeons and adhering to aftercare protocols.
Exaggeration and Stigma: Some sources suggest the smell’s notoriety is exaggerated by viral social media posts, which may overemphasize rare or mismanaged cases. The stigma around BBLs, fueled by cultural debates about body modification, can amplify negative perceptions. For instance, comments on X and Reddit often blame poor hygiene rather than surgical complications, which may unfairly generalize the issue.
Critical Considerations: The smell is not inherent to all BBLs; it’s often a manageable side effect of healing or a sign of complications like infection or necrosis. Patients with good hygiene and proper surgical care are less likely to experience it. The procedure’s risks, including odor, are higher in poorly regulated settings, like some clinics in South Florida, where rushed or unprofessional surgeries increase complications.In summary, the BBL smell is real for some patients, particularly in the early recovery phase or in cases of complications, but it’s not a guaranteed outcome. Proper hygiene, surgeon expertise, and diligent aftercare can minimize or eliminate it. Social media may overstate its prevalence, but the underlying risks of BBLs, including infections and fat necrosis, are well-documented. If considering a BBL, thorough research and consultation with a board-certified surgeon are critical to avoid adverse outcomes.https://www.facebook.com/share/1HH7mQo3Dx/
It’s Not A Joke—the BBL Smell Is Real. And It's Horrible.

I don't know why it's very hard for them to comprehend.......what is the need of building new school while the old ones are unfunded?
“We Saw Them Moving in Sync”: Geologists Stunned by Mysterious Objects Aligning Deep Beneath Earth’s Surface
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have uncovered that mysterious objects are moving horizontally nearly 1,864 miles beneath the Earth's surface, shedding new light on the enigmatic D'' layer and offering crucial insights into the planet's internal dynamics.
IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Scientists discovered that objects are moving horizontally in the Earth’s mantle, nearly 1,864 miles beneath the surface, offering new insights into the D” layer.
🔬 Laboratory experiments at ETH Zurich revealed that post-perovskite crystals align under extreme pressure and temperature, explaining the acceleration of seismic waves.
🌋 This discovery confirms the existence of convection currents in the Earth’s mantle, which could influence tectonic plate movements and the planet’s magnetic field.
📈 The findings have significant implications for improving models of earthquake and volcanic eruption predictions, marking a new era in geophysical research.
The depths of the Earth have long been a source of fascination and mystery for scientists and researchers. Recent discoveries have unveiled that objects are moving horizontally in the Earth’s mantle, nearly 1,864 miles beneath our feet. Published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, this study sheds new light on the enigmatic D” layer, situated at the boundary between the mantle and the Earth’s core. For decades, scientists have observed inexplicable accelerations of seismic waves in this region, and now, this groundbreaking study provides a compelling explanation for these phenomena.
The Enigma of the D” Layer The D” layer has puzzled geologists for years due to its unique properties and the behavior of seismic waves within it. The acceleration of these waves as they pass through the D” layer has been a subject of extensive research. Thanks to the efforts of Professor Motohiko Murakami and his team at ETH Zurich, we now have a better understanding of this phenomenon. By recreating the extreme conditions of the D” layer in laboratory settings, they discovered that crystals of post-perovskite align under pressure and temperature, accounting for the increased speed of seismic waves.
This alignment is crucial in creating anisotropy within the material, meaning that seismic waves travel faster in certain directions. The study not only resolves a geological mystery but also confirms the presence of convection currents in the Earth’s mantle. These findings have significant implications for our understanding of tectonic plate movements and the Earth’s magnetic field.
Simulating Extreme Conditions Recreating the conditions of the D” layer in a laboratory is no small feat. The team at ETH Zurich managed to simulate the immense pressures and temperatures that exist nearly 1,864 miles below the Earth’s surface. Through these experiments, they observed the behavior of post-perovskite crystals, which form under such extreme conditions. These crystals possess a unique structure that influences the propagation of seismic waves.
When aligned in a specific direction, these crystals cause seismic waves to speed up, creating the previously unexplained phenomenon observed in the D” layer. The study demonstrates the dynamic nature of the Earth’s interior and provides insights into the processes that shape our planet. It underscores the importance of understanding the Earth’s internal mechanisms to improve models for predicting natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Implications for Geophysical Research The implications of this discovery are far-reaching. By gaining a deeper understanding of the Earth’s internal dynamics, scientists can enhance their ability to predict seismic events and volcanic eruptions. This marks a new era in geophysics, as researchers can now build more accurate models of the Earth’s behavior. The study by Murakami and his team represents a significant milestone in our quest to comprehend the ever-evolving nature of our planet.
Furthermore, the alignment of post-perovskite crystals provides valuable clues about the convection currents in the mantle. These currents, akin to the movement seen in boiling water but occurring over geological timescales, play a crucial role in orienting the crystals. This new understanding opens doors to further research on the Earth’s internal mechanisms, potentially revolutionizing our approach to studying geophysical phenomena.
The Future of Earth Science The study of Murakami and his team marks a turning point in our comprehension of the Earth’s inner workings. It highlights that our planet is continuously evolving, not just on its surface, but deep within its most inaccessible regions. This discovery paves the way for new research avenues into the Earth’s internal mechanisms, offering hope for future breakthroughs in geophysical science.
As researchers continue to explore the mysteries of the Earth’s interior, they will undoubtedly uncover more secrets that can transform our understanding of the planet. The alignment of post-perovskite crystals is just one piece of the puzzle, and ongoing studies will likely reveal more about the dynamic processes occurring beneath our feet. How will these discoveries shape the future of Earth science and our understanding of the planet’s evolution?
The post refers to a 2012 incident where Debbie Stevens, a New York mother, was fired by her boss Jackie Brucia after donating a kidney to help her move up the organ donor list, a case documented by ABC News, highlighting the ethical breach of trust in workplace dynamics.
Recovery from kidney donation typically takes 6-12 weeks for a return to normal activities, per Lahey Hospital & Medical Center’s guidelines, suggesting Stevens’ firing for "taking too long" may reflect unrealistic employer expectations rather than medical necessity.
This case contrasts with altruistic donation successes, like Dylan Matthews’ 2016 non-directed kidney donation at Johns Hopkins, where risks were minimized via advanced surgery, underscoring how employer gratitude—or lack thereof—can dramatically affect donor outcomes
Ghanaian man, John Ackay Blay-Miezah scammed over 300 Americans of $250 million.
He told them he had $27 billion in a bond, but needed help to unlock it.
He was arrested in Ghana in 1975, but talked his way out of it.
He got a Diplomatic passport and moved to Europe.
He executed one of the largest advance-fee scams in history during the 1960s-1980s, convincing over 300 Americans to invest $250 million in a fictitious $27 billion bond, leveraging his charisma and a fabricated diplomatic status.
His 1975 arrest in Ghana for undeclared currency was overturned through persuasive influence over the Acheampong government, which he convinced of a $47 billion Swiss bank account, showcasing his ability to manipulate political systems with bold narratives.
Historical context from a 2025 study in The Conversation suggests Ghanaian scammers like Blay-Miezah often frame their actions as retribution for colonial exploitation, reflecting a cultural narrative that may have fueled his confidence and societal tolerance for his schemes.
AMCON lists Silverbird’s Abuja Mall for sale over Murray-Bruce debt
In June 2016, the court appointed a receiver, M.A. Banire, to take over the companies' assets on AMCON’s behalf.
The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has listed the Silverbird Entertainment Centre in Abuja for sale to recover a longstanding multi-billion naira debt linked to a former Nigerian Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, and his companies.
The listing, published in a recent public notice by AMCON, shows that the Abuja Mall, a prime commercial complex located in the Central Area, Cadastral Zone, is now open for bids from interested buyers. The property is among several assets AMCON disposes of across different states, including Lagos, Rivers, Oyo and Plateau.
The Abuja mall, operated under Silverbird Entertainment, was previously seized following a 2016 Federal High Court order over a debt of more than N10 billion owed to AMCON by several companies owned by the Murray-Bruce family. Those affected include Silverbird Productions Limited, Silverbird Showtime Limited and Silverbird Galleria Limited.
In June 2016, the court appointed a receiver, M.A. Banire, to take over the companies’ assets on AMCON’s behalf. Justice C.M.A. Olatoregun, who presided over the matter, also barred Mr Murray-Bruce, his brothers Guy and Roy Murray-Bruce, and other family members from interfering with the receiver’s work. The court’s order covered several mortgaged properties in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.
Despite negotiations that followed the initial seizure, the debt remained unresolved. AMCON said the latest sale is part of a broader asset recovery strategy targeting high-profile debtors who have failed to meet their obligations.
Silverbird’s Abuja mall is one of the group’s flagship properties, housing retail shops, a cinema, restaurants and office spaces. According to AMCON’s notice, the property comes with a gross lettable area of 15,050.91 square metres and is being sold as is.
Ben Murray-Bruce Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, who served in the National Assembly representing Bayelsa East from 2015 to 2019, is also a prominent media entrepreneur and founder of the Silverbird Group, which operates television and radio stations in Nigeria and Ghana, as well as the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) beauty pageant.
As of 2017, AMCON said over 400 high-profile obligors were responsible for about N4.5 trillion nearly 80 per cent of the total outstanding debt on its books. The Corporation has since adopted more aggressive recovery efforts, including asset sales and legal enforcement.
Bids for the Abuja mall and other listed properties are due by 11 July.
Prospective buyers are advised to visit AMCON’s official website or contact the designated coordinating agents for details.
Mr Murray-Bruce did not respond to a request for comment on the planned sale as of the time of filing this report.

5 Parrots were Separated At A Zoo Because They Kept Swearing At Visitors And Laughing Together.
The X post references a real 2020 incident at a British wildlife sanctuary where five African grey parrots were separated due to their synchronized swearing at visitors, a behavior linked to their exceptional mimicry skills and social nature, as noted in a CBS News report.
Scientific studies, such as those in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, highlight that African grey parrots have cognitive abilities rivaling a 4-6-year-old human child, enabling them to learn and reinforce complex vocalizations like profanity when grouped, which likely amplified their disruptive behavior.
The separation reflects a common zoo practice of managing social animals to reduce stress or behavioral issues, though research from Ballard Brief suggests such interventions can cause emotional distress in highly social species, challenging the narrative that zoos always prioritize animal welfare.

Kenya 🇰🇪 wants to purchase a $26 million missile defense system from Israel 🇮🇱
The image depicts a Spyder missile defense system, a mobile Israeli-designed surface-to-air missile platform, which Kenya plans to acquire for $26 million to counter aerial threats like drones and ballistic missiles, a strategic move amid rising tensions from groups like Al-Shabaab in the region.
Kenya's decision to fund this purchase partly with a $43 million loan from Israel, as reported in parliamentary budget documents from May 2025, reflects a broader military modernization push, despite recent domestic protests highlighting economic struggles and government spending priorities.

I knew this day would soon come when katakata go burst for the ruling party APC... Many of our political pundits do not have a knowledge of contemporary history. How could anyone have thought TINUBU's STYLE would ever change after capturing Lagos State, unchallenged, for 26 years The fate that has befallen Vice President SHETTIMA today is nothing new. It befell several Deputy Governors in Lagos. GOVERNOR AMBODE was the biggest casualty. GOVERNOR SANWO-OLU merely escaped by the whiskers recently. Those surprised at the ungodly alliance between TINUBU and WIKE should have known the Yoruba aphorism IWA JOWA NI NJE ORE JORE (BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER). They are maximum rulers. But sooner rather than later, things we never anticipated will happen. On ABDULLAHI GANDUJE, he's a tragic hero who took bullets for TINUBU. But like it happens to all lackeys, his usefulness has expired. My friend AKPABIO should BEWARE. This current POWER is absolutely for TINUBU and no one should fool himself. No one is indispensable and everyone else is expendable, whenever it becomes necessary. The PRINCE does not entertain competition. This is the season of MACHIAVELLI. More victims will fall on the battlefield. No one is sacred. GANDUJE is already being blamed for the woes of APC. One analyst even said, he should have brought EL RUFAI back after he was humiliated and rejected by the National Assembly. But GANDUJE knew the real power that betrayed NASIRU and dared not meddle in the matter... Never mind, and don't be too far from this page for regular analysis and gossips... And remember to grab your popcorn and coke...
