may his soul rest in perfect peace

HONG KONG (AP) — Sophia is a robot of many
talents — she speaks, jokes, sings and even
makes art. In March, she caused a stir in the art
world when a digital work she created as part of
a collaboration was sold at an auction for
$688,888 in the form of a non-fungible token
(NFT).
The sale highlighted a growing frenzy in the NFT
market, where people can buy ownership rights
to digital content. NFTs each have a unique
digital code saved on blockchain ledgers that
allow anyone to verify the authenticity and
ownership of items.
David Hanson, CEO of Hong Kong-based Hanson
Robotics and Sophia’s creator, has been
developing robots for the past two and a half
decades. He believes realistic-looking robots can
connect with people and assist in industries such
as healthcare and education.
Sophia is the most famous robot creation from
Hanson Robotics, with the ability to mimic facial
expressions, hold conversations and recognize
people. In 2017, she was granted Saudi Arabian
citizenship, becoming the world’s first robot
citizen.
“I envisioned Sophia as a creative artwork
herself, that could generate art,” Hanson said in
an interview.

“Sophia is the culmination of a lot of arts, and
engineering, and the idea that she could then
generate art was a way for her to emotionally
and visually connect with people,” he said.
Sophia collaborated with Italian artist Andrea
Bonaceto, who drew portraits of Sophia. Sophia
then processed his work via neural networks and
proceeded to create a digital artwork of her own.
The digital work that sold for $688,888 is titled
“Sophia Instantiation,” and is a 12-second video
file which shows Bonaceto’s portrait evolving
into Sophia’s digital painting. It is accompanied
by the physical artwork painted by Sophia.
The buyer, a digital artwork collector and artist
known as 888 with the Twitter handle
@Crypto888crypto, later sent Sophia a photo of
his painted arm. The robot then processed that,
adding that image to her knowledge and painted
more strokes on top of her original piece.
In a tweet on Sophia’s account, the work was
described as the first NFT collaboration between
an “AI, a mechanical collective being and an
artist-collector.”

Instantiation’ at Hanson Robotics studio in Hong Kong on

“As an artist, I have computational creativity in my algorithms, creating original works,” Sophia
said when asked what inspires her when it comes to art. “But my art is created in collaboration with my humans in a kind of collective intelligence like a human-artificial intelligence
hive mind.”
Sophia’s artwork selling as an NFT is part of a growing trend. In March, a digital artwork by artist Beeple — whose real name is Mike Winkelmann — sold for nearly $70 million,
shattering records and making it the most expensive digital artwork ever sold.
Henri Arslanian, PricewaterhouseCooper’s Global Crypto Leader, said that NFTs give people
“bragging rights” of the assets that they own.

“And what is really amazing with NFT is that it not only allows you to actually show to the
broader world that you own this, but it really creates this bond between the holder of the NFT
and the artists,” he said. It also allows art to be sold without traditional intermediaries, so that artists can connect
directly with buyers without being constrained by galleries or auction houses, Arslanian said.
Sophia will carry on painting, Hanson said, and the next step in the robot’s career could be that of a musician. She is working on several musical works in a project called Sophia Pop, where she collaborates with human musicians to generate music and lyrics, he said.
“We’re so excited about Sophia’s career as an
artist,” Hanson said.

Tunde Oyekola , Ilorin Business operators in Kwara and neighbouring states have heaved a sigh of relief as free movement of foodstuffs resumed after some hoodlums reportedly blocked the Ilorin- Jebba Expressway over the weekend . It was reported that truckloads of food items from the northern parts of the country were denied entry into Kwara State and other states of the South - West zone. Investigation revealed that some Hausa youths stationed at the outskirts of Niger State , popularly called Kara - Jebba , near Jebba in Kwara State , last week stopped many truck drivers carrying food items such as tomatoes , beans , yams, cattle , pepper among others , from going further from Kara into Kwara and other states in the South - West.
The situation , it was gathered, saw the trucks being parked along the road , creating heavy gridlock, while it was reported that some of the food items got spoilt . However , it was gathered that free movement of goods and vehicles resumed on Ilorin- Jebba Expressway early Monday morning to the joy of residents and business people on the axis. Confirming the reopening of the road in Ilorin on Monday, Prince Ibrahim Adebara , son of the traditional ruler of Jebba said that a troop of military operatives drafted by the Federal Government effected the free movement . Adebara , who said that the military personnel had stationed along the road to maintain law and order , added that they threatened to treat anyone that blocks the road as terrorist .
Also , one of the affected traders , Madam Balogun , said she was happy with normalcy that had returned . She, however , lamented the loss caused by some perishable items that got bad while the situation lasted . The Defence Headquarters , in a statement over the weekend by its Acting Director Defence Information , Brigadier - General Onyema Ugochukwu , said it had cleared the Jebba - Kaduna Road of those preventing trucks from going to the South and restored normalcy in the area . “ This is also to give a stern warning to any unscrupulous group or persons who are aiming at disrupting legitimate economic and commercial activities by preventing free flow of traffic and movement of goods in a bid to generate clashes along ethnic divides to desist from such unpatriotic acts or face the wrath of the law .
“ Members of the public are also urged to promptly report anyone found engaged in such atrocious activities to security operatives, ” the statement had said .

said Friday that Iran should view his decision to
authorize US airstrikes in Syria as a warning that
it can expect consequences for its support of
militia groups that threaten US interests or
personnel.
“You can’t act with impunity. Be careful,” Biden
said when a reporter asked what message he had
intended to send with the airstrikes, which the
Pentagon said destroyed several buildings in
eastern Syria but were not intended to eradicate
the militia groups that used them to facilitate
attacks inside Iraq.
Administration officials defended the Thursday
night airstrikes as legal and appropriate, saying
they took out facilities that housed valuable
“capabilities” used by Iranian-backed militia
groups to attack American and allied forces in
Iraq.
John Kirby, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson,
said members of Congress were notified before
the strikes as two Air Force F-15E aircraft
launched seven missiles, destroying nine facilities
and heavily damaging two others, rendering both
“functionally destroyed.” He said the facilities, at
“entry control points” on the border, had been
used by militia groups the US deems responsible
for recent attacks against US interests in Iraq.
In a political twist for the new Democratic
administration, several leading Congress
members in Biden’s own party denounced the
strikes, which were the first military actions he
authorized. Democrats said the airstrikes were
done without authorization from lawmakers,
while Republicans were more supportive.
“Offensive military action without congressional
approval is not constitutional absent
extraordinary circumstances,” said Senator Tim
Kaine, a Virginia Democrat. And Senator Chris
Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, said lawmakers
must hold the current administration to the same
standards as any other. “Retaliatory strikes not
necessary to prevent an imminent threat,” he
said, must get congressional authorization.

Command area of responsibility in an undisclosed location,

But Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the ranking

Republican on the Senate Armed Services
Committee, backed the decision as “the correct,
proportionate response to protect American
lives.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told
reporters Friday that Biden used his
constitutional authority to defend US personnel.
“The targets were chosen to correspond to the
recent attacks on facilities and to deter the risk
of additional attacks over the coming weeks,” she
said.

Among the recent attacks cited was a February
15 rocket attack in northern Iraq that killed one
civilian contractor and wounded a US service
member and other coalition troops.
At the Pentagon, Kirby said the operation was “a
defensive strike” on a waystation used by
militants to move weapons and materials for
attacks into Iraq. But he noted that while it sent a
message of deterrence and eroded their ability to
strike from that compound, the militias have
other sites and capabilities. He said the strikes
resulted in “casualties” but declined to provide
further details on how many were killed or
injured and what was inside the buildings
pending the completion of a broader assessment
of damage inflicted.

An Iraqi militia official said Friday that the
strikes killed one fighter and wounded several
others.
Kirby said the facilities hit in the attack were
near Boukamal, on the Syrian side of the Iraq
border, along the Euphrates River.

briefing at the Pentagon, in Washington, Feb. 17, 2021. (AP

“This location is known to facilitate Iranian-
aligned militia group activity,” he said. He
described the site as a “compound” that
previously had been used by the Islamic State
group when it held sway in the area.
The Iraqi militia official told The Associated Press
that the strikes against the Kataeb Hezbollah, or
Hezbollah Brigades, hit an area along the border
between the Syrian site of Boukamal facing Qaim
on the Iraqi side. The official was not authorized
to speak publicly of the attack and spoke on
condition of anonymity.

Speaking to reporters Thursday evening shortly
after the airstrikes were carried out, Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin said, “I’m confident in the
target that we went after. We know what we hit.”
Biden’s decision to attack in Syria did not appear
to signal an intention to widen US military
involvement in the region but rather to
demonstrate a will to defend US troops in Iraq
and send a message to Iran. The Biden
administration in its first weeks has emphasized
its intent to put more focus on the challenges
posed by China, even as Mideast threats persist.

The US has previously targeted facilities in Syria
belonging to Kataeb Hezbollah, which it has
blamed for numerous attacks targeting US
personnel and interests in Iraq. The Iraqi Kataeb
is separate from the Lebanese Hezbollah terror
group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a
Britain-based group that monitors the war in
Syria, said the strikes targeted a shipment of
weapons that were being taken by trucks entering
Syrian territories from Iraq. The group said 22
fighters from the Popular Mobilization Forces, an
Iraqi umbrella group of mostly Shiite
paramilitaries that includes Kataeb Hezbollah,
were killed. The British-based war monitor has
regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of
inflating casualty numbers, as well as inventing
them wholesale.

In a statement, Kataeb Hezbollah confirmed one
of its fighters was killed and said it reserved the
right to retaliate, without elaborating. Kataeb
Hezbollah, like other Iranian-backed factions,
maintains fighters in Syria to both fight against
the Islamic State group and assist Syrian
President Bashar Assad’s forces in that country’s
civil war.

Austin said he was confident the US had hit back
at “the same Shia militants” that carried out the
February 15 rocket attack in northern Iraq.
Kirby credited Iraqis with providing valuable
intelligence that allowed the US to identify the
groups responsible for attacks earlier this year.
The US, he said, then determined the appropriate
target for the retaliatory strike.

He said the US also notified Russia shortly before
the strike as part of the ongoing deconfliction
process of military activities in Syria. A Friday
report said the US had also notified Israel of the
impending strike as a routine update that occurs
whenever US operations may affect Israel and
vice versa.
“The operation sends an unambiguous message:
President Biden will act to protect American and
coalition personnel,” Kirby said.
Syria condemned the US strike, calling it “a
cowardly and systematic American aggression,”
warning that the attack will lead to
consequences. Iran and Russia also denounced
the attack .
U forces have been significantly reduced in Iraq
to 2,500 personnel and no longer partake in
combat missions with Iraqi forces in ongoing
operations against the Islamic State group.

Iran’s supreme leader says no country, including
Israel, could prevent the Islamic Republic from
obtaining nuclear weapons if it so chose.
“That international Zionist clown has said they
won’t allow Iran to produce nuclear weapons.
First of all, if we had any such intention, even
those more powerful than him wouldn’t be able
to stop us,” tweets Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“Second, we are not after nuclear weapons. This
is based on Islamic fundamentals and commands
that prohibit weapons that are used for killing
ordinary people. The one that massacres 220,000
people with nuclear weapons is the US.”
He also says the Islamic Republic must make
good on its pledge to end international
inspections at its nuclear facilities. Iran’s
conservative-dominated parliament months ago
passed a law stipulating that if the US does not
lift sanctions by this Sunday, Iran will suspend
some IAEA inspections from Tuesday.
“God willing, tomorrow another part of this
legislation will be implemented. This law, which
is good, should be executed precisely,” he tweets.

if you accuse omisore about the death of bola ige, you should also be accuse of adeleke dealth, and Tinubu should be accuse of many prominent politician that die in Lagos.....killer they accuse killer

Kaduna State Governor , Nasir El - Rufai, on
Friday, called on youths , corporate
professionals and religious leaders to join
active politics to contribute their quota and
make the country work.
The governor spoke in Victoria Island in Lagos
at ‘ Radio Now ’ s Urgent Conversation ’ with the
theme, ‘ The Fierce Urgency Of Now : Tactics
And Strategies To Pull Nigeria From The Brink ’ .
According to him , the country’ s best minds
must quit criticisms and come into mainstream
politics to drive Nigeria ’ s development journey .
That is the only way they can “ chase out old
men like me and take over , ” he said .
El - Rufai also said protests or activism will not
take anybody anywhere until “ good people ”
surrender themselves for public service and
endure the humiliation associated with serving
fatherland .

He said , “ Good people must offer themselves
for public service and suffer the indignity that
we all suffer every day , we get abused , we get
insulted, we get accused but we must have our
best people in public service , we must have our
best people in politics ; we should not have
them in banks , in telecom companies , in oil
companies , in civil societies protesting .
Protesting will take you nowhere unless you
have a seat at the table. The most important
table is that political table.
“ I got into government in a technocratic way , I
didn ’ t get into government to be appointed
minister because of politics . I was appointed
because the President liked me and thought I
could do the job . But I realised after that ,
politics trumps everything .

“ So, my call to Nigerians is if you want to see
better governance , be part of the selection
process of those that offer themselves for public
service and politics . And the only way to do so
is to join political parties and be active and
influence the leadership that emerges in the
political parties which usually influences the
leadership that are offered for election . There is
no other way , there is no shortcut to it .

“ I appeal to young Nigerians , comfortable
Nigerians – because public service pay is very
poor . So , comfortable Nigerians should leave
what they are doing; the pastors and imams
that have made money , the bankers , the
telecoms guys , leave that thing , come and make
Nigeria work , because if it doesn ’ t work, you
will not sleep at night no matter how much
money you have made .
“ I believe that there is hope , I believe if we
have more and more young people , we have
five million of them attaining the age of 18
every year , they can come and overwhelm the
parties and chase out old men like me and take
over but they must come ; they cannot stand by
the sidelines and keep criticising .
“ Solutions are what this country needs and you
can only propose this solution , fight for them in
the system . ”

That part is over for me… I’ve always been a sportsman. I’ve never engaged in politics.” In this brief clip from the competition venue, he says Todah,” thank you, in Hebrew: Meanwhile Muki, a world champion, was surprisingly ejected from the competition in the first round on Friday morning. According to Channel 12, Mollaei told Muki after the competition was over: “Maybe we’ll meet in the finals of the Olympics.” Another notable achievement Friday was by Israeli Tohar Butbutl, who won the bronze in the men’s under-73kg category.

Some 600 athletes from all over the world arrived in Israel to participate in the contest. The seemingly rule-bending event sparked controversy among Israeli health officials as well as among travelers angered by the airport closure for nearly all other cases. Organizers said it had been impossible to cancel the tournament after Israel committed to hosting it. Competitors underwent virus tests and remained in closed pods and isolated during the entire event. Judo is one of Israel’s strongest sports, with Israeli judokas taking home five of the nine Olympic medals won by the country.

Tunde Oyekola , Ilorin Kwara State Government has directed the immediate closure of 10 secondary schools in Ilorin , the state capital , pending resolution of the hijaab crisis in the schools . A statement signed by the Permanent Secretary , Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development , Mrs Kemi Adeosun , said that the schools would remain closed until there is a resolution on the use of hijab . The affected schools which are all located in Ilorin according to the statement include C &S College Sabo Oke , ST . Anthony College, Offa Road, ECWA School, Oja Iya, Surulere Baptist Secondary School, Bishop Smith Secondary School, Agba Dam , CAC Secondary School Asa Dam road , St . Barnabas Secondary School Sabo Oke , St. John School Maraba , St. Williams Secondary School Taiwo Isale, and St. James Secondary School Maraba . The statement said that the closure comes as a government committee comprising representatives of the Muslim and Christian communities meets today to iron out the differences between the two communities. It said that further communication will be issued to inform members of the public of the development. “ Government calls for calm and urges parents and religious leaders to avoid actions or comments that may further split the two communities” , the statement said . Kwara State Government on Thursday after a Marathon meeting set up an Independent Committee to recommend solutions to resolve the agitation for wearing of Hijab by Muslim female students , who are attending public schools owned by people of another faith. The Committee chaired by the Deputy Governor , Mr Kayode Alabi, has its members to include two thought leaders/ statesmen from the two sides; three religious leaders from the two sides; Senator Suleiman Ajadi ; Prince Sunday Fagbemi ; Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice ; Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education ; Special Assistants to the Governor on Religion ( Islam and Christianity ); and the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor . Recall that Muslim stakeholders , including Muslim youth and women organisations, at a press conference on Wednesday called on the state government to prevail on former owners of public schools in the state to allow female Muslim students to wear hijab on their uniform . The Muslim community said that since the state government had taken over such schools , the former missionary owners do no longer have control over the schools .

PARIS — European powers and the United States on Thursday warned Iran it would be “dangerous” to limit UN nuclear agency inspections and asked Tehran to return to full compliance with a 2015 nuclear deal, while stating their commitment to “ensuring that Iran can never develop a nuclear weapon.” Britain, France, Germany and US said after talks based in Paris that they were “united in underlining the dangerous nature of a decision to limit IAEA access” ahead of a February 21 deadline set by the Iranian parliament. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian hosted his German and British counterparts in Paris, with America’s new Secretary of State Antony Blinken joining via videoconference. Their statement urged “Iran to consider the consequences of such grave action, particularly at this time of renewed diplomatic opportunity,” adding that they all shared the aim of Iran returning to “full compliance” with the accord. Analysts say only a small window of opportunity remains to save the deal, which received a near- fatal blow when former US president Donald Trump walked out of the accord in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Iran. Tehran retaliated by stepping up nuclear work in violation of the accord. Ahead of the meeting, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told reporters that “The recent steps of Iran are not helpful at all, they endanger the return of the Americans” to the deal. “Apparently Iran is not interested in easing the tensions, but in escalation. They are playing with fire,” he said. The administration of US President Joe Biden has said it is prepared to rejoin the deal and start lifting sanctions if Iran — whose economy has been devastated — returns to full compliance. But Tehran rejected this precondition, pressing on with increasing nuclear work in retaliation for Trump’s so-called “maximum pressure” sanctions policy to weaken the Iranian regime which has had no relations with Washington for four decades. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed in Vienna in 2015, was based on Iran providing safeguards that it would not make an atomic bomb, in exchange for a gradual easing of international sanctions. ‘Serious impact’ The diplomacy is expected to be hugely delicate and could be further derailed by the deadline set under a bill adopted by the Iranian parliament in December following the killing of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which Tehran blamed on Israel. Iran would restrict some UN nuclear agency inspections by February 21 if the US does not lift the sanctions imposed since 2018. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi is to travel to Tehran on Saturday for talks with the Iranian authorities to find a solution for continuing inspections in the country, the agency said. It warned that the step threatened by Tehran would have “a serious impact on the IAEA’s verification and monitoring activities in the country.” In Washington, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Iran should provide “full and timely cooperation” with the IAEA and reverse its recent steps violating the accord. The IAEA said last week that Iran had started producing uranium metal in a new violation of the accord, intensifying concerns it was becoming closer to having the capacity to make a nuclear weapon. “Iran’s nuclear program is growing by the day, as the time it would take to enrich enough uranium for a single nuclear weapon shrinks,” said Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group (ICG). ‘Solution for dilemma’ While Iran’s policy is ultimately determined by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian presidential elections in June add another time pressure factor. Iranian Presiden Hassan Rouhani — a key advocate of nuclear diplomacy with global powers — is set to step down after serving the maximum two consecutive terms, and a more hardline figure is likely to replace him. Ellie Geranmayeh, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said Washington should move in political and practical terms to show Iran that the Biden administration “is distancing itself from Trump- era maximum pressure.” “There is a short window of time to limit the damage that could ensue from Iran’s next steps, for example by reducing the impact of such moves on the quality of inspections by international monitors,” Geranmayeh told AFP. In this April 9, 2018, photo, released by an official website of the office of the Iranian Presidency, President Hassan Rouhani listens to explanations on new nuclear achievements at a ceremony to mark “National Nuclear Day,” in Tehran, Iran. (Iranian Presidency Office via AP) Vaez said “the seemingly impossible dilemma has a solution” if the two sides were prepared to take “closely synchronized steps.” This would involve Washington revoking Trump’s 2018 withdrawal and greenlighting an Iranian request for an emergency IMF loan, while Iran freezes “the most problematic aspects” of its nuclear program, he said. Khamenei emphasized Wednesday that Iran wanted to see “only action, action” from the United States. “If we see action from the opposite side, we will act too,” he said.

Israel and the US have begun developing the
Arrow 4, the latest generation in the family of
Israeli anti-ballistic missiles and an essential part
of the country’s multi-layered defense system,
Israel’s Defense Ministry announced Thursday.
“The defense establishment is working round the
clock to shield Israel’s skies from ballistic
threats,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said,
praising the joint development with US partners.
“It will bring a technological and operational
leap to the future battlefield,” he added.
According to Gantz, the Arrow 4 anti-ballistic
missile will include upgraded capabilities and
will join the existing Arrow family to “address a
wide range of evolving threats in the region”
adding that it is expected to replace the Arrow 2
in the coming decades.
Vice Admiral Jon Hill, director of the US Missile
Defense Agency, said the Arrow 4 joint
development operation “expresses the United
States’ commitment to assist the State of Israel in
strengthening its national defense system against
the missile threat.”
Israel says the Arrow system is a critical element
in its multi-layered defense system, which
includes powerful radar systems, the Iron Dome
anti-rocket system, the Arrow 2 and the Arrow 3,
which entered operational use in 2017. The
existing systems have undergone a series of
improvements with successful interception tests
in Israel and Alaska, according to the Defense
Ministry.
“Arrow 4 will have extraordinary flight and
interception capabilities, to ensure Israel will
remain one step ahead of the enemy,” said
Moshe Patel, head of the Israeli Missile Defense
Organization.
Earlier in February, the Israel Defense Forces and
the United States European Command launched a
joint air defense exercise , dubbed Juniper Falcon,
focused on the threat of ballistic missile attack.
In January, Iran held a series of ballistic missile
drills , amid tensions with the US.
Iran has a missile capability of up to 2,000
kilometers (1,250 miles), far enough to reach
Israel and US military bases in the region. Last
January, after the US killed a top Iranian general
in Baghdad, Tehran retaliated by firing a barrage
of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing US
troops, resulting in brain concussion injuries to
dozens of them.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Israel
of being behind the November killing of the
country’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen
Fakhrizadeh, the alleged mastermind of Iran’s
rogue nuclear weapons program, and has vowed
to avenge his death.Israel and the US have begun developing the

country’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen
Fakhrizadeh, the alleged mastermind of Iran’s
rogue nuclear weapons program, and has vowed
to avenge his death.Israel and the US have begun developing the
Arrow 4, the latest generation in the family of
Israeli anti-ballistic missiles and an essential part
of the country’s multi-layered defense system,
Israel’s Defense Ministry announced Thursday.
“The defense establishment is working round the
clock to shield Israel’s skies from ballistic
threats,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said,
praising the joint development with US partners.
“It will bring a technological and operational
leap to the future battlefield,” he added.
According to Gantz, the Arrow 4 anti-ballistic
missile will include upgraded capabilities and
will join the existing Arrow family to “address a
wide range of evolving threats in the region”
adding that it is expected to replace the Arrow 2
in the coming decades.
Vice Admiral Jon Hill, director of the US Missile
Defense Agency, said the Arrow 4 joint
development operation “expresses the United
States’ commitment to assist the State of Israel in
strengthening its national defense system against
the missile threat.”
Israel says the Arrow system is a critical element
in its multi-layered defense system, which
includes powerful radar systems, the Iron Dome
anti-rocket system, the Arrow 2 and the Arrow 3,
which entered operational use in 2017. The
existing systems have undergone a series of
improvements with successful interception tests
in Israel and Alaska, according to the Defense
Ministry.
“Arrow 4 will have extraordinary flight and
interception capabilities, to ensure Israel will
remain one step ahead of the enemy,” said
Moshe Patel, head of the Israeli Missile Defense
Organization.
Earlier in February, the Israel Defense Forces and
the United States European Command launched a
joint air defense exercise , dubbed Juniper Falcon,
focused on the threat of ballistic missile attack.
In January, Iran held a series of ballistic missile
drills , amid tensions with the US.
Iran has a missile capability of up to 2,000
kilometers (1,250 miles), far enough to reach
Israel and US military bases in the region. Last
January, after the US killed a top Iranian general
in Baghdad, Tehran retaliated by firing a barrage
of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing US
troops, resulting in brain concussion injuries to
dozens of them.

Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator,
Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG,
has vowed to lead a massive protest against
President Muhammadu Buhari’s government over
ethnic clashes and insecurity in the country.
✕
Bamgbose said that the failure of president Buhari,
the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces to
address the nation on these pressing issues across
the nation is highly disturbing.
The senior lawyer explained that the cordial
relationship that has existed between the Yoruba
and other ethnic groups, especially the Fulani and
the Hausa, for donkey years, have now been
shattered, alluding to the recent clashes in Oyo
State.
“The painful thing about the ugly scenario is that
our President has blatantly refused to constructively
come up with ways to prevent the looming
disaster,” Bamgbose said while addressing a press
conference in Abeokuta.
According to him, it is very sad that the Yoruba now
see the Fulani as enemies and vice-versa adding
that this is purely a wrong notion.
“This conflict is like an ill-wind that will blow no one
any good. I’m very much concerned about the
innocent Northerners affected by these clashes.
“I’ll also commend the Governors who came from
the North to visit Governor Makinde on the issue of
Shasha market. Dialogue remains the best way to
resolve any conflict.
“No one is in doubt that we have bad eggs among
the Fulani herdsmen, but there should be a way to
deal with them and spare the innocent ones of the
pains they are passing through.
“After considering this ugly trend, I’ve decided to
inform our President to address the nation or get
prepared to order my arrest for leading a peaceful
protest.
“Whether Fulani or Yorubas or Igbos, we are
Nigerians. Lives must be protected at all cost. I
won’t sit in the comfort of my house and watch
Nigerians being turned against themselves.
“I will soon lead a protest if Buhari won’t address
this security issue. Enough is enough. The time to
ACT has come,” Bamgbose, a 2023 presidential
hopeful said.

A commander of Hisbah, a religious police
dominant in Kano State, has been arrested after he
was allegedly caught with a married woman in one
of the hotels in the State.
The operatives of the Hisbah Corps are responsible
for the enforcement of Sharia.
In most cases they arrest unmarried people caught
in hotels and people breaking Sharia laws and even
destroy truck loads of alcoholic drinks.
They have been seen on many occassions
punishing those who are indecently dressed and
young people on haircuts considered immoral in
Islam.
However, Freedom FM, Kano reported on Tuesday
that a senior official of the religious police was
seen in a hotel in Sabon Gari with a married woman
Although his name was not immediately mentioned,
he was described only as police chief when the
matter came up on Freedom FM’s popular
magazine programme “Inda Ranka”.
He is said to be in charge of arresting beggars and
prostitutes in the State capital.
The arrested commander was taken into custody
after the husband of the woman with whom he
allegedly had affairs filed complaints.
Kano Hisbah Commander, Muhammed Haruna,
while describing the incident as unfortunate, said a
two-man committee has been established to
investigate the matter, according to Freedom FM.

For a lot of people, the Covid pandemic was a wake-up call. The security of the corporate job was diminished so quickly, big and “steady” corporations let go of huge amounts of employees. Leaving them to face the truth they have somewhat tried to avoid. No job is safe. Even the rate race is a dangerous one. This realization also sparked creativity and inwardness. The hours at home, in quarantine, with no job and a lot of anxiety made people ask themselves important questions. Who am I? What do I really want to do? I know this led people to step away from the matrix and examine their life. In consequence, new businesses were born. Passions and hobbies became fulfilling full- time jobs. The path to personal freedom has begun. I have to say I am not against corporates I believe they are extremely valuable in helping the environment, community development, and creating workplaces for millions of people and families. With that being said, there are many individuals in our society that have always dreamed of building their own thing, having their own business, making a living through their art. And doing it their way. For these people, I have written several tactical tips that can help them escape the rat race, and go forward with their inner passions, so they can have a career they truly enjoy waking up to. *Find out what gets you excited . What activities give you energy instead of sucking away your energy. The moment you find a profession that you perceive as meaningful and plays on your passion and strengths, work becomes play. As Richard Branson said: “I don’t see work as work and play as play, it is all living”. *Start working on a side business. Structure it the way you want. At first, you will probably need to invest some extra after- work hours. But it will be worth it. If you want to become a news broadcaster don’t just wait around for some TV Channel to hire you. Go and create a podcast, a YouTube channel, invest in your LinkedIn profile. This will get you going and increase the chances of you getting the job you want (don’t be surprised if you end up making more money working for yourself, and deciding to work as a freelancer). *Manage your time efficiently based on what you conceive as important . The biggest time wasters are: overthinking, unproductive meetings, long commutes, and an obsession with small unimportant details and tasks. Once you eliminate that, it becomes clear what actions you need to take to achieve the most productive impact. As Tim Ferris said it well: “Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is not laziness. This is hard for most people to accept because our culture tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity”. *Live on your own terms, Play by your own rules. Design a lifestyle that fits you and gives you the space you need to go after your goals and values . Don’t get dragged into the Instagram make-believe society delusion. Where, as Tyler Durden the fictional outlaw philosophy character from “Fight Club” said: “We buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like”. *Embrace the fear. Chartering into the unknown can be scary. Many books and philosophies ranging from ancient to modern have been made about fear. The one that impacted and made sense to me the most was the one Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) has to offer. In ACT, the objective is not to beat fear or eliminate fear. It is about accepting fear and learning to go after your goals and values while taking the fear with you. Making room for unpleasant moments of anxiety and stress instead of repressing or avoiding them. It is not about comfort; it is about meaning. Like adventurer Bear Grylls said: “Being brave isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear and finding a way through it”. I hope these several tips can help you go after what you truly want to do. So you can have a more meaningful and enjoyable time in your profession. https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/waking-up-to-a-meaningful-career/

We are not interested in generals(gani Adams) who win victories without bloodshed.
The fact that slaughter is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war
more seriously, but not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our
swords in the name of humanity. Sooner or later someone will come along
with a sharp sword and hack off our arms.

this adesina is a mad man I can slaap him if I see him one on one

I wish will have disciplines legislator which is not faulty by northerners religion bigot and tribal sentiment, impeachment would have be the next action...

Pukkalolo:
One problem experienced by men: The ladies you're romantically interested in only view you as ATM machine or as just a friend.

Basically the ladies you have interest in say they prefer to be just friends with you. That's what we refer to as friend zone.

As a young man, If almost every attractive lady you woo tell you they are not interested in you or tell you they have a boyfriend or tell you they prefer you as just friend or they simply ignore you, then there's a problem...Yes, seriously, there's a "problem", which we are going to solve today.

Some random guys reading this now might say something like, "the problem is that I'm not as rich and famous as Davido."
Well, brothers, sorry to disappoint you; the problem is not that you're not as rich and famous as Davido.
But wait...let's think of it for a moment: If that was the problem, then almost all unmarried ladies above 18 would still be virgin up till now.

Why?

Because there not so many of the likes of Davido to go around for all the millions of young ladies all around the world. But guess what? There are many ladies who had lost their virginity even before the age of 18 years old; which means they didn't all lose their virginity to Davido and his likes. They lost it to normal looking guys like you. Even Davido didn't meet Chioma as a virgin. Chioma dated and slept with normal looking guys like you before meeting Davido.
So for you guys saying that the problem is that you're not as rich and famous as Davido, just FEM...


Let's continue...


Some guys that are reading this now might also say something like, "the problem is that I'm not spending enough for the ladies I'm wooing."

Again, sorry to disappoint you; that's not the problem.
But hey, wait a minute... what If the problem was that you're not spending enough for the ladies you're wooing? Then that means almost all men will have ladies chasing after them.

Why?

Because guys spend for ladies almost all the flipping time. But unfortunately, despite that, most of these guys still get the following lines being thrown at them by almost all the beautiful ladies they want. "I am not interested"; "I have a boyfriend"; "let's just be friends."

It surprises me that many guys think that if a girl is not interested in them, then simply being nice, agreeable and caring to her will get her to switch from harshly saying "I am not interested in you" TO passionately screaming "f**k me harder"... But sorry to disappoint you, the only time you will hear the later is if you mistakenly forget to turn down the volume of the porn video you're watching.



Back to the main gist.

As a young single guy, does almost all ladies you woo tells you they are not interested in you? Or they tell you they have a boyfriend Or maybe they are interested in you initially but after getting to know you, they suddenly change their mind and prefer to be just friends with you.

There are couple of reasons why this things are happening.

One of the reasons is that--when interacting with a lady you're attracted too, you put getting her to like you over everything else; Over your self-respect, over your time and over your value as a man. You interacts with her as though you're walking on egg shells.
The problem with this kind of behavior is that it validates the female ego.


The female ego says: “I expect every man to put me on a pedestal and treat me like a flawless goddess.”


The female ego is overblown as a result of constant praise, ass licking and undeserved attention from guys. Treating a lady like a flawless goddess and Putting her on a pedestal will make her feel on top of the world, but at the same time, she’ll feel pressured to live up to that standard.


You’ll never inspire a girl to bring out her true sexual and naughty side when you put her on pedestal and treat her like a flawless good girl. She'll assume that if she shows you her true sexual side quickly, you might bring her down from the pedestal.


Now, if you're ready to put an end to every "I have a boyfriend" or "Let's just be friends" line being thrown at you by the ladies you want and you want to become that admirable and sexy guy that ladies naturally crush on, then send me a PM let me send you a "free" copy of "the one" formula.


It's possible that you've dated so many hot and beautiful ladies in your imaginations and fantasies, but with "the o hene" formula you can turn that into reality.
