For their minds, Russia is winning the war against Ukraine. The war Putin bragged that he will conquer Ukraine in 2 weeks is dragging into years now. The same Russia is using dubious means to recruit cheap military machineries from African countries, plus borrowed troops from North Korea just to fight Ukraine, Yet he can't overrun Ukraine.

Isn't it insane for people to always compare America and Russia in military capabilities? America simply allowed Russia to fight Ukraine to expose Putin's weakness.

The war is ungoing, and the fact remains that the big mouth bully Putin hasn't overrun Ukraine in 2 weeks as he boasted. The e-propagandists can keep circulating old content to mask Putin's military weakness in the name of victory.

Morial lesson: Never make it easy for any bully.

How do we access the revised guidelines/subjects combinations for the new academic year admissions into tertiary institutions? For instance, is Chemistry still one of the requirements for admission to study Computer Science? Can someone share more information on this?

Trump is the man for the hour. A talk-and-do president. You were reelected for times like this. Posterity will always remembers you for dealing dead blows to terrorism.

Say NO to terrorism. Do not support terrorism. Live, and let live.

As Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, your job includes telling lies "$uperlatively" to promote your master. You can continue to deceive yourselves.. Every sane person in and outside the country knows the true security situation in Nigeria.

Why the Gaza Flotilla Can't Just 'Drop Aid': Blockade Lessons from 2002 to Now.

Every time a flotilla horn sounds off Gaza’s coast, someone asks—why not just let them in? Why check every crate?
It’s not drama—it’s a math problem no one wants to address.

On January 14, 2002, the Karine A slipped out of Iran, Palestinian flag fluttering like nothing was wrong. Inside? Fifty tons of Katyusha rockets, RPGs, mortars, and grenades, all bound for Gaza. Yasser Arafat swore it was just paperwork, but Israeli commandos stormed it in the Red Sea, no shots fired, with proof dangling in crates. This was a total violation of the Oslo Accords, which promised peace between Palestinians and Israel. Peace wasn’t the plan—massacres were. That’s when the blockade started, not as punishment, but as security math: let one boat through unchecked, and you get Katyushas tomorrow.

On March 22, 2009, the Victory 5 sailed off Sudan’s coast, carrying sniper scopes and anti-tank gear for Islamic Jihad, headed for Gaza. Israel intercepted it, exposing yet another Iranian-backed arms run.

On November 4, 2009, the Francop—Cyprus-flagged, looking legal—sailed from Syria with another fifty tons of Iranian cargo: rockets for Hamas, smuggled right under the UN’s nose. Israel boarded it off Cyprus and seized the weapons.

The pattern’s clear: “aid” is code for armory. The Oslo Accords signed in 1993 between Israel and Palestinians promised bridges, not ladders to Israel’s windows. There’s no clause in peace talks for governing with Grad rockets aimed at Tel Aviv kindergartens. Arafat denied responsibility for Karine A at first, but later admitted his role—a blatant betrayal of Oslo’s peace commitments.

When Hamas seized Gaza in the 2007 coup, they doubled down. Their charter explicitly calls for Israel’s destruction, and every boat they chase is another step toward that goal.
So why scan every sack of rice at Ashdod port before delivering shipments to Gaza? Because “humanitarian” is the Trojan horse everyone ignores.

October 7, 2023, wasn’t a random storm—it was the pay off. Paragliders, RPGs, grenades, smuggled via tunnels, drones, boats, and backpacks followed the same playbook as Karine A, just louder.

If Israel waves through this flotilla because activists cry “aid,” next month it’s not flour—it’s drones with grenades.
The blockade isn’t spite; it’s a checkpoint between peace and cemetery rows.

Imagine if Oslo’s partners had built Palestinian economy instead of smuggling mortars. What if Palestinian Authority funds went to schools and infrastructure, not Katyusha missiles? Gaza wouldn’t be rubble. Israel wouldn’t be on edge. Palestinians could have had ports, jobs, passports—none of this rock-bottom misery. But security trumps sentiment: un-scanned ships equal massacres against civilians.
Let one flotilla through unchecked, and the cycle restarts.

The blockade isn’t war—it’s the lid keeping October 7 from becoming October every month.

Israel intercepts humanitarian flotilla headed to Gaza, with forces boarding some boats
At least 20 Israeli military vessels have boarded a pro-Palestinian flotilla roughly 75 miles off the coast of Gaza, as it attempted to breach the maritime blockade and bring humanitarian aid.

The man with the iron fists. Keep educating the terrorists and their supporters what raw power means. By the way, all the countries asking for two-state solutions know that Hamas do not want two-state solutions. Hamas want total removal of the Jews from the map; Hamas want all of Israel land. And all the countries in support of Palestine independence are in support of Hamas agenda against Israel.

Even if Palestine had Independence today, with Hamas in power, Israel will keep bombing the inhabitants of Gaza (The case of Gatar as a sovereign country been bombed by Israel is still fresh).

I currently use GTBank naira Mastercard. It works for all my dollar payments and subscriptions on all the platforms I operate. The best part is the lower rate compared with fintech dollar cards.

NUPENG is still looking for ways to control the oil sector. You can go after Dangote all you can. We all know with Dangote refinery, most of your corrupt practices in the oil sector have been reduced.

Dangote refinery is a Private-owned company. If Dangote workers now join unions, then bank workers, private hospital workers, private university workers, and other private company workers should be allowed to join unions, so the unions can also fight for the right of those workers.

Tinubu uses Alpha-Beta to tax Lagos state to stupor to enrich his family. We warned them not to vote in this tax master at the national level, but they called us names. Enjoy your Emilokan. Senetor Ndume was a lone voice opposing tax reform. Now he's vindicated.

OP, do not take the negative comments here to heart. Those are the kind of comments that kill dreams. I'm sure if Seun was to build Nairaland today, with the present mindset of Nigerian youth, he'd face same negative energy. Stay focused. See you at the top.

So unfortunate. So short a time for a manager to show any significant achievement. What could he have achieved in such a short time? There seems to have been a disagreement on tactical issues.

Any time you see them getting busy and serious with those foreign meetings, know that the real intension is to collect loans that would end up in their personal and family bank accounts.

In 2022, $200 million loan was collected from the same Japan for the same power sector. What did they do with the money?

The intension of hamas militants and their supporters is to wipe out the Jews from the face of the earth. Unfortunately, it is the "Palestinians" that bear the consequences.

Have you read The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene?

Law 15: Crush your enemy totally. Half-measures breed revenge. If you choose to compete, commit fully.

With the hundred trucks of foods, water, and other essential items shipped into Gaza on a regular basis, Hamas can go ahead and sabotage the distribution efforts, and create artificial "Starvation" narrative. No amount of emotional propaganda will ever allow Hamas to rule Gaza anymore.

An eye witness account of Ibom Air Incident with Miss Emmanson - Ibom Air Flight No. QI 513 from Uyo To Lagos on Sunday 10 August 2025.

Bar. David Ogebe:
So, I was on the now infamous Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos on 10 August 20225 at 1:20pm. I sat on seat 14B, the aisle seat on the left side of the emergency exit row of the Plane. Miss. Emmanson sat across the aisle immediately to my right on the corresponding emergency exit row aisle seat (that should be seat 14C or D depending on how the seats were numbered). Considering it was a small aircraft, it could be said that we sat about two feet apart, so I was privy, first hand, to all that transpired prior to take off, and upon landing until I exited the plane before the entire drama began. I will detail hereunder what transpired, suffice to say, at no time did Miss. Emmanson refuse to switch off her phone for take off.

Disclaimer:
It is important to state that prior to meeting Miss. Emmanson on the aircraft by pure happenstance, I had never met her before. She is a complete stranger to me. In the same vein I have never met any of the Ibom Air hostesses before Friday, to the best of my knowledge, and I am only speaking out now out of a moral duty and civic responsibility to speak the truthso that everyone, whether highly placed or not, highly connected or not, can be treated fairly and justly in all circumstances.
I must also state immediately that I do not condone or endorse the acts of violence and disorderliness exhibited by Miss.Emmanson as seen in various videos circulating in the media space. It is not justified.

Unjustified Humiliation and Provocation By Ibom Air Hostess

There were only two air hostesses on the plane which I presume to be as a result of the size of the plane. One of the hostesses approached us and gave us the regular briefing for passengers sitting on the emergency exit. This hostess was exceptionally kind, polite and amiable. I will refer to her henceforth as hostess 1. After the briefing she asked Miss.Emmanson politely twice to switch off her phone. I noticed thereafter that Miss. Emmanson was fiddling with her phone with some uncertainty.
After hostess 1 left to continue her duties, hostess 2 came with an almighty huff and told Miss. Emmanson to switch off her phone with a very high voice. Miss. Emmanson in a low voice tried to explain to hostess 2 that the buttons on her phone for switch off were not working so she did not know how to switch off the phone. Hostess 2 rebuffed her and kept insisting that she switches off the phone. Hostess 2 then told her that the phone she was holding was an iPhone which did not require buttons to switch off. The lady now asked the hostess to assist her switch off the phone and hostess 2 replied “I am not touching your phone”. Hostess 2 now told her to go to settings and from there click on general. The lady now responded in an even lower voice saying “please I cannot read and don’t know what you said I should do. Can you just help me?” Hostess 2 now retorted “Please I don’t have time for your nonsense. Better switch off that phone immediately”.
The gentleman sitting to my left in seat 14A and I were flabbergasted when we heard this and could not believe that an air hostess could speak so condescendingly and unnecessarily humiliate a passenger, perhaps because she was a single female. We then intervened and asked the gentleman sitting next to the lady by the window of her row to assist her. He collected the phone and was assisting her.

Miss. Emmanson then started asking hostess 2 if there was anything wrong with being unable to read and why she had to humiliate her like that to the whole public. Hostess 2 now told Miss. Emmanson to keep quiet or else she would deal with her. At this point Miss. Emmanson started cursing and told her she could do nothing to her. Hostess 2 then said “ok, you will see” then she left in a puff and proceeded to the cockpit and never came back.

Some passengers sitting afar who did not know what truly transpired were shouting for Miss. Emmanson to switch offher phone. However, the passenger in seat 14A and I rose up stoutly and defended her and when they heard our explanations they all calmed down and the flight took off.

Airborne:

Throughout the flight, Miss. Emmason was upset and simmering. She kept on discussing the situation with the gentleman on her right till the plane landed. She was obviously quite annoyed. I also noticed that Hostess 2 kept peeping at our row throughout the flight. She stayed upfront in the plane most of the time if I recollect correctly.
Hostess 1 on the other hand was completely oblivious of the raging storm (at least I thought so) and was kind, polite and professional throughout. Hostess 1 gave extra water to Miss. Emmanson when she asked for it in-flight and also helped her with bringing out and returning her food tray when snacks were served and also as we were approaching landing. Hostess 1 also helped put away some of Miss. Emmansonthings in the cabin above before landing.

Disembarkation:

Once the plane landed, the gentleman in seat 14A and I joked that we had better get out quickly before a war breaks out. We both expressed hope that nothing happened as we disembarked. Disembarkation was being done row by row and just before it got to our turn, Miss. Emmanson exited her seat to the back of the plane and I presumed she went to the toilet. We happily disembarked and I forgot all about the spat in the plane until I started seeing all the videos and statements flying unabatedly. I hope the other gentlemen who witnessed this unfortunate incident on row 14 along with me will speak up and corroborate all I have said, which is the truth. I am ready to stand by all I have said here and will be glad to stand as a witness if need be for Miss Emmanson.

Conclusion
1. Miss. Emmanson never at any time refused to switch off her phone for take-off.
2. Hostess 2 acted very poorly and inflamed a rather simple and small matter. And this is putting it mildly.
3. Hostess 1 was exceptional and if she were the one that handled the entire episode, this would not have happened.
4. Ibom Air needs to do better in training their staff to learn to be sensitive and empathetic where necessary.
5. Miss. Emmanson’s reactions, though founded on grave unwarranted humiliation and provocation, has no place in any sane society and should not be encouraged.

AbdulHakeem44:
You are the one not seeing the bigger picture. Let look at it from this point. All the European countries are sympathetic to Israel, most of not all the Middle Eastern countries do not recognize them when they were given land their to settle at first but later on, began to recognize their sovereignty. Since the Western world loves Israel so much and they are being hated by their immediate neighbors, why not find house for them in your backyard? If Israel were to be given land beside any European country, I doubt if there will be any issue, but no!! Which means there's a hidden purpose to site their land from the Palestinian. And ever since then, they have been grabbing land inch by inch.

As in, a Christian wan buy land for church, u see America, u no buy land there, u see European countries u no buy land there, u talk say na beside kabba in Mecca u wan build ur church. It can only mean one thing, THERE'S A HIDDEN AGENDA from the onset.

Do you even understand yourself? The land belongs to the Jews.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWB8IW5k2Sw?si=Cz_RwE3u9et8LSIU

Over 6 million Jews were KlLLed during the holocaust, but the world did not come to an end. If the modern day Jews are under the danger of being wiped away completely this time from the face of the earth, to them taking down 50,000 of the enemies plotting their extinction is small. When it comes to self defense and preservation, you don't pity those who are out to take you down, no matter their numbers. That is just the bitter truth.

Stay alert!!! There's so much sharp practises in the system. From government to banks, to a common POS operator at the corner of the street, so much financial malpractices.

We live in a society where there is so much hunger in the land, and hatred for the rich. However, we need to draw a line when it comes to channelling our energy to voice out our anger. The hunger is not caused by private individuals, businesses, or religious leaders. They are caused by the corrupt political leaders who suppose to harness our God's giving natural resources to make life better, instead, they loot our common wealth for themselves and families.

The Olubadan-In-Council, on Monday, nominated Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Wish him success on the throne.

Impressive piece. Thank you for sharing. In this Tinubu's economy, spending a few minutes on info like this generates positive energy.

What good would your decision to work with Tinubu bring to the country or the economy, if not about your personal interests? Wike chose to work with Tinubu, and he's ready to destroy anybody, institutions, democracy, or opposition to please Tinubu. In return, he'd allocate half of FCT land to himself and his family members as compensation for supporting Tinubu to get to Aso Rock. Nigerian keeps losing.

Endtime toddler. The snake see shege for the boy hand. Hunger bad.
