Cuba's Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, just dragged the US State Department to the United Nations and left their dignity in a ditch. "It is absurd for the US State Department to claim that Cuba, a relatively small developing country subjected to brutal economic warfare, could be a threat to the biggest military, technological and economic power in the world." Let that sink in. The United States has the most powerful military in human history. Nuclear submarines. Aircraft carriers. Stealth bombers. Thousands of nuclear warheads. A defense budget larger than the next ten countries combined. Cuba is an island under a six decade long blockade. Hospitals run out of medicine. Power cuts last 20 hours a day. The economy is strangled. And the US wants the world to believe Cuba is a threat. Bruno Rodriguez calls it what it is. Absurd. Weak. Deceitful. The US needs an enemy. Any enemy. Even a starving island will do. The pretext must be maintained. The budget must be justified. The empire must have a villain. But the world is no longer buying it. Cuba has never attacked another country. Never harbored terrorists. Never engaged in international organized crime. The same cannot be said for the nation that blockades it. The truth is clear. Cuba is not a threat. Cuba is a victim of a cruel and illegal policy that should have ended decades ago. End the blockade. Let the people live. The empire can find another excuse.

CHINA JUST DREW A LINE ON AI A court in China has ruled it ILLEGAL to replace human workers with AI purely to cut costs. They have put responsibility back on corporations. They can’t automate just to boost margins while workers are pushed out. China has decided that wages, fairness, and employment aren’t optional. And that’s a big shift. While the west races to replace labour as fast as possible, viewing AI as a free-for-all… China has set a precedent that profit alone isn’t enough and corporations must answer to society.

World Bank told Nigeria to reopen fuel imports because Dangote’s fuel was 12% more expensive than imports. Dangote called it flawed. World Bank quietly deleted the whole report from their website. Meanwhile Europe is buying refined fuel from the same Dangote refinery because Middle East supply got disrupted. The same Europe that used to sell Nigeria its own crude back as petrol. You can’t make this up. An African refinery finally works at scale and the first recommendation is not invest more, not expand capacity. It’s bring back imports. When Africa consumes nobody says a word. When Africa refines and competes suddenly it’s a problem.

Amnesia?

Arteta's #UCL record at Arsenal 🔢

@gabiola442 As we say in Naija, "dey play".

20minutes after an "entertaining game" but the conversation is ARSENAL . Are we that BIG 🤔

Arsenal have the top five players in terms of league minutes played this season out of all the Champions League semi-finalists 🪫👀

Nigerians complain daily about failed leadership, weak institutions, endless borrowing, and politicians who speak in fine slogans but leave no measurable results. Yet when the conversation turns to competence, many people abandon facts and choose sentiment. Governance is not about who smiles the most or who tells you things you want to hear, it is about who understands how to manage a complex country and deliver outcomes. If competence is truly what Nigerians want, then Mallam Nasir El-Rufai stands out as the best options available. This is not because he is perfect or universally loved, but because his record in public office shows courage, discipline, and a deep understanding of how government works. Unlike many politicians whose only strength is rhetoric, El-Rufai has managed governance at different levels and left visible reforms. From the BPE to the FCT, and most recently Kaduna State, he consistently approached leadership as a task of fixing systems, not entertaining the public, and wherever he leaves behind his mark is very visible. He understands that government is not about ceremonies, but about institutions, revenue, planning, and accountability. What makes him different is his willingness to take hard decisions, to later show results to every Nigerian that have two eyes to see. While many leaders preserve failure because they fear criticism, El-Rufai has shown that he can confront inefficiency, reduce waste, and challenge entrenched interests in order to get results. His reforms in education, public finance, and civil service management all point to one thing, he governs for outcomes, not applause. Nigeria today does not need another soft spoken politician with empty promises. It needs a serious manager who understands discipline, execution, and reform. Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai may be controversial, but competence is often controversial because real change disturbs comfort, I am not talking about Tinubu’s type disturbing comfort, where you will be disturbed but won’t see result, in the case of Mallam you will not just feel it, but you will see it clearly and visibly. If Nigerians are sincere about wanting a leader who can enter a broken system, and force measurable progress, then Mallam Nasir El-Rufai remains the most competent options before this nation.

I really don’t understand Nigerian real estate. “5 mins to the Airport” why do I want to stay close to the airport. “10 mins from dangote refinery” why would I wanna stay close to a refinery??

HUGE FUNDING JUMP FOR AUTONOMOUS KILLER ROBOTS BREAKING NEWS: The Pentagon this week filed a call for a 24,000% cash increase (not a misprint) for a unit that creates flying killer robots for use in a war on China. Many of the machines will be able to attack autonomously, rather than being remote controlled. The step was revealed in a request filed this week, for US$55bn to fund a new unit called the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group. This is “the largest single commitment to autonomous warfare in history. Its scale should be applauded,” said former CIA director David Petraeus. . PLANNED WAR ON CHINA The DAWG is a new Pentagon department, built on top of a Joe Biden initiative to create drones for use on a planned war on China. The funding demand is so large because the US last December banned the purchase of drones and components from China, the world leader in that area. It would be problematic to ask the Chinese to continue to provide equipment for the US to use to attack China. The undersecretary for war, Elbridge Colby, has long called for a US war on China, exploiting Taiwan as justification. . WHICH NATIONS BACK KILLER ROBOTS? The Pentagon has long been using the argument that they are responding to China’s use of killer robots, although this appears to be untrue. In 2019, China and the majority of other countries of the world met at the UN to back a motion which said that the granting of power to machines to kill humans was a horrific idea which should be banned globally. But four known militaristic nations were among those which disagreed with the motion: The US, the UK, Russia and Australia. . SCIENTIST'S WARNING In January this year, one of the world’s top scientists, physicist Max Tegmark, said technologists opposing killer robots programs should be commended “for standing up for the principle that AI should never be used to kill people without meaningful human control”. However, that assumes that ethical human-centered thinking will be at the center of decisions—and that is clearly not the case. Military power, global dominance and profit are the ruling motivations. . TRUMP'S ELDEST SONS The Pentagon wants private company participation and is getting it. A top US dronemaker called Powerus is already offering autonomous US drones to Gulf nations. The Arab nations allowed the US and Israel to launch attacks on Iran from their countries and now have to deal with the Iranians defending themselves. Powerus, which has Donald Trump’s two oldest sons on its board, cannot lose. Trump senior has launched an unprovoked attack on Iran from the Gulf nations, and the younger Trumps are now involved with a firm selling autonomous drones for protection. All this, sadly, mitigates against hopes for peace.
