Business / Walmart Joins Disney, Others To Stop Advertising On Elon Musk’s X by ryloy: 10:30am On Dec 02, 2023
The United States’ largest retailer, Walmart has stopped advertising on the platform X, owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

This decision marks a departure from X after Musk’s recent string of disparaging comments and positions Walmart as the first major company to distance itself from the controversial platform, a report by Bloomberg has said.

Based on reports, Walmart has chosen to discontinue its advertising on X, citing a preference for alternative platforms that better connect with its customer base. The retail company joins Disney, IBM, Sony and other companies to “abandon cart” on the X platform.

What Walmart said
“We aren’t advertising on X as we’ve found other platforms to better reach our customers,” a Walmart spokeswoman stated.
She declined to say when the change takes effect or what motivated it.

Joe Benarroch, X’s head of business operations, said via email that Walmart “has a wonderful community” of more than 1 million followers on X, and that most of the site’s users do their shopping online.

Politics / China Mourns Kissinger — ‘a Most Valued Old Friend’ by ryloy: 6:15pm On Nov 30, 2023

The death of Henry Kissinger on Wednesday saw the loss of a diplomat Beijing has long considered a trusted friend, with China’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday hailing the former American secretary of state as “a pioneer and architect of China-US relations” for his central role in the establishment of bilateral ties.


Paying tribute to the late statesman during a regular press briefing, ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said “the Chinese people will remember Dr. Kissinger’s sincere devotion and important contributions to China-US relations.”

Chinese leader Xi Jinping had sent his condolences to President Joe Biden, Wang added.

Kissinger’s death was also mourned on Chinese social media Thursday, where his passing became the top trending topic on heavily moderated microblogging site Weibo with more than 400 million views.

“Farewell, old friend of the Chinese people,” said a top comment with thousands of likes.


“The person who started a period of history has finally become history,” another comment said.

Considered a highly influential but controversial figure in the United States and around the world, Kissinger is highly regarded in China for his role laying the groundwork for the formation of diplomatic relations between Beijing and Washington – a crucial and highly consequential step in the country’s reengagement with the world.

It could help people share confidential information and not have to delete those information afterwards

For example, sometimes you ask your spouse for confidential information like their credit card number etc.

The meeting was a significant step in strengthening the partnership between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, and I am optimistic about the positive impact our joint efforts will have on our planet’s future as we look forward to setting an equitable global standard for environmental stewardship at #COP28.

Politics / I Will Not Contest Kogi Election Results At Tribunal – Dino Melaye by ryloy: 3:29pm On Nov 29, 2023
I will not contest Kogi election results at Tribunal – Dino Melaye

The Kogi State governorship candidate of PD, Dino Melaye, has said that he will not contest the electoral victory of the APC at the Nov 11 polls. Hand don touch am 🤣

Ododo APC - 446, 237

Murtala Ajaka SDP - 259,052

Dino Melaye PDP - 46,362 🤓


The Kogi State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Dino Melaye, said he will not challenge the electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress before the state election petition tribunal.

The PUNCH reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, winner of the November 11 governorship election in the state.

The PDP governorship candidate, who came third in the election, on Wednesday alleged that the judiciary is no longer independent but a department of the APC.

Dino stated, Judiciary is no longer the last hope of the ordinary people, it is now a department under the All Progressives Congress. Why should any responsible person go to the tribunal when the APC have captured the judiciary?

“I have lost complete confidence in the judiciary.”


Dino said the judiciary is supposed to be the last line of defence of democracy and the rule of law

“Regrettably, however, the judiciary itself has been on trial due to its tragic and glaring inability to inspire confidence and trust in its handling of electoral matters.

“No discerning observer, no matter how charitable, can avoid the conclusion that the Judiciary seems to have become a willing and potent tool in the hands of powerful forces that are bent on subverting democracy in Nigeria,” he added.

The PDP Kogi State Governorship candidate said the common saying that the judiciary is the last hope of aggrieved citizens is now an empty slogan because the judiciary is rapidly turning into the lost hope of the people of Nigeria.

He stated, That is why I will not dignify a captured judiciary by filing a petition over Kogi Governorship election where majority of the results were written before the election day by INEC officials under the watch of Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

“Why should any reasonable Nigerian go to the tribunal when the Judiciary has been captured and members of a Political Party openly dare the would-be victims of their infernal rigging machine to go to court?


“Why should other political parties and Nigerians participate in future elections with the consolidation of grip and total control of INEC through the appointment of APC card-carrying members as Commissioners into INEC who will recruit APC supporters as poll officials?

Dino alleged that the way the State Independent Electoral Commission is constituted by governors with party members and supporters is what is now being brazenly applied to INEC at the federal level.

He stated, “In the light of the foregoing, I Senator Dino MeIaye have decided in good conscience not to submit myself to a judiciary that has become an instrument of political tyranny. Just as Pa Awolowo declared after the 1983 rigged elections when asked why he refused to go to the tribunal. Our sage said that he would not because “the judiciary is corrupt and will not do justice”

“I will not go to court because justice has been murdered by the judiciary in Nigeria.

“I use this opportunity to call on all opposition political parties of Nigeria to forthwith boycott all future elections unless and until the current INEC constituted by APC members is dissolved and a new set of nonpartisan, Chairman and Commissioners are appointed into INEC.”

Politics / 2024 Budget: Student Loan Commences January — President Tinubu by ryloy: 2:28pm On Nov 29, 2023
President Bola Tinubu has assured that the student loan will commence in January 2024.

Politics / Uzodimma Clears All Imo’s 27 LGAs by ryloy: 8:31am On Nov 12, 2023

At the end of the collation at 08:30 am on Sunday, Fashina announced that the collation centre would go on an hour break and reconvene for the winner's announcement.

Governor Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all the 27 local government results announced in the November 11, 2023 governorship poll in Imo State

Collation of results at the State Collation Centre started around 02:30am on Sunday in Owerri, the state capital, with the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Prof Abayomi Fashina, as the state Returning Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the election.

Though 18 parties fielded candidates in the poll, this year’s governorship election in Imo State has been described by analysts as a four-horse race between APC’s Uzodimma who is seeking re-election, Samuel Anyanwu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party’s Achonu Nneji and Jack Ogunewe of the Action Alliance.

According to INEC, the number of registered voters in the state for the poll was 2, 419,922 with 2,318,919 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collected.

At the end of the collation at 08:30 am on Sunday, Fashina announced that the collation centre would go on an hour break and reconvene for the winner’s announcement.

None of the other candidates won any local government.

Like Imo, governorship elections were held in Kogi and Bayelsa on November 11, 2023, though the collation of results from the two states has been adjourned to Sunday morning.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Reclaimed The Black Sea From Russian Forces by ryloy: 6:42pm On Oct 07, 2023
It was a moment of humiliation for Moscow. The headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet – a building of elegant white columns overlooking the Crimean port of Sevastopol – was ablaze. Smoke billowed into a blue sky. First one, and then a second Storm Shadow missile slammed into its roof. Video captured the impact: a precise, deadly, thunderous strike

The attack on 22 September killed 34 officers, including Viktor Sokolov, the fleet’s commander, according to Ukraine. Russia denied this, releasing footage of Sokolov, suggesting he was still alive. Whatever the truth of the admiral’s fate, the blow deep into enemy territory was of major significance. It was further proof that Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion, 19 months on, had not gone to plan.

On land, Kyiv’s counteroffensive has made slow progress. Ukrainian troops have run into formidable Russian obstacles. But on water, it is a success story. Largely unnoticed, Ukraine has reclaimed the Black Sea at least in part, by turning it into a no-go zone for Russia’s bristling warships – no mean feat given that Ukraine has no navy to speak of, and a handful of old jets.
