Olusegun Obasanjo visits the East and sees how fast things were growing
He shut down eastern ports and trade was redirected to Lagos
Business followed the ports
Onitsha was once a major hub where traders came from across Africa
Then things started to decline
Factories closed
Opportunities reduced
People had to move
So when people ask why many Igbo businesses are in Lagos today
this is part of the story.

Imam Hassen Chalghoumi of Drancy, near Paris, is astonished by what Israel is currently doing in Iran. He writes: (Written June 2026)
I, a son of Ishmael, an imam, a Muslim, a man of peace, hereby present my sincere testimony about this extraordinary people:
I must admit, I believe in religions and miracles. But there is something about this people — the people of Israel — that feels like a living miracle.
A people the Pharaohs tried to erase 3,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Babylonians tried to annihilate 2,500 years ago… and failed.
A people the Romans tried to wipe out 2,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Nazis tried to exterminate 80 years ago… and failed to erase.
A people the Arabs fought in five wars to wipe off the map… and failed.
This is a small nation in number, but with a unique strength — a divine blessing. Wherever it lays its hand, it succeeds: in finance, commerce, science, philosophy, literature… A desert land turned into a paradise, without oil or gas, but with liberty, democracy, intelligence, and determination.
This is a people who gave the world Einstein, Newton, Kafka, Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Freud… and many others who left a mark on humanity.
There are realities that neither reason nor logic can explain.
There is only one word for it: miracle.
For two and a half years now, this people has been fighting on five fronts. They said it was tired, that it was about to collapse… and yet, it surprises the world by opening a new front against the Iranian enemy — one that frightens even Arab regimes.
This people, though small in number, possesses the courage of nobles, the wisdom of prophets, the patience of the righteous, and the determination of survivors. How could it be otherwise, when it is known they are the descendants of Abraham, Solomon, David, Moses, Jacob, Joseph… and 1,523 prophets and emissaries from their lineage?
This is a people who brought monotheism and faith in one God to the world. A people driven by a thirst for life, for work, for innovation, and for continuity — a drive that has lasted more than 4,000 years.
Truly, I find no other word to describe them but: a nation of miracles.
If the Arabs had clear vision, they would choose to unite with this people, to learn from them, to cooperate with them… perhaps they would absorb some of their knowledge, wisdom, and dignity.

Iran killed Israel's leader on X.
Israel killed Iran's Supreme Leader in real life.
Iran decimated Tel Aviv on X.
Israel decimated Tehran in real life.
Iran destroyed US war ships on X.
US sank Iran's war ships in real life.
Iran's news Supreme Leader is healthy on X.

Understand that victory is a mindset; Iran has chosen an X victory and it is also fine.

@itsTseTse @emekaumehaa The same church being built has employed thousands of workers and pay them daily.
The same church has church staffs they pay monthly across the states in the country without oweing a dime.
But the Government doubling down on taxes like thieves, You ignore.
You are a Clown!! 🤡

Over 150 million Nigerians are stuck in deep poverty, yet a pastor says God instructed him to spend ₦400 billion on a massive church in Ota, Ogun State instead of industries that could employ people.
So now people will travel from different parts of the country just to pray for jobs and money?
At this point, it’s not only poverty we’re dealing with. Many people are simply blinded by religion
English

@itsTseTse He is a pastor; church is his business. He has built his business.
You are not pastor.
Now, gather your family members and every anti-church person supporting you. Contribute your money and start building those industries, roads, and feed the poor.
English

So, the way some people think enn, is it the building project that is your problem, or the man of God, or God himself, because I discover anytime it comes to church matters you are always ready to vomit rubbish, your politicians that you are suppose to hold responsible how many of them have you tackle, but a church that pays salary of over 50k pastors and 200k members is the one you are throwing stone at, Pele ooo agbenuso

@itsTseTse Some of your family members are hungry and your fridge is stocked with meat and fish and all sorts. Your store house is filled with bags of rice. Please go sell them to settle them

@musk_give_away @itsTseTse You are just the person on the picture. Only bears no brain
English

@itsTseTse It's so painful that your money is not inside and the project is progressing. Right?
People are without job and you are using phone. Selling that phone can at least help to fund one person's start up.
Many persons are simply blinded by selfishness and hypocrisy.
