@oluebubewrites Nigerians: Please start a revolution! Why are you being called the giant of Africa if you are not sovereign enough to even properly feed yourselves?

The Uber Driver That Picked Me This Morning Completely Ruined My Mood. 🥲 I entered his car and the first thing I noticed was how unusually quiet he was. No music, No small talk. Nothing. Halfway into the trip, his phone rang through the car speaker. “Daddy, mummy said we should ask if you’re coming home today because there’s no food again.” The little girl’s voice was so innocent. The man paused for like 5 seconds before replying softly, “I’ll bring something.” But immediately he ended the call, I saw him wipe his face quickly. That was when I noticed the empty pack of cabin biscuits and sachet water beside him. This man had probably not eaten too. The rest of the ride became uncomfortable for me because while I was complaining internally about Abuja traffic, somebody’s father was driving around hungry trying to save his family from embarrassment. When we got to my destination, the trip was 4,700. I gave him 20k. The way he turned immediately and stared at me ehn… You know that look people give when life has humbled them too much to even express gratitude properly? That look broke me. It’s just so sad that a lot of people are going through a lot in this Tinubu economy.

@Mr_Husky1 I don’t know Elizabeth and may never but I love you and thank you - on behalf of all women.

In May 1860, she kissed her six children goodbye. She thought about the dinner she would cook later. She thought about the laundry. She thought about the quiet life of a mother in Illinois. She had no idea that when the front door clicked shut, it would stay locked for three long years. Her husband, Theophilus Packard, was a respected minister. To the neighbors, he was a man of God. But inside their home, he was a man who could not stand a wife who thought for herself. Elizabeth Packard liked to read. She liked to debate religion. She had her own opinions about life and faith. In the 19th century, for a woman to have a brain was considered a danger. Theophilus decided to end the argument once and for all. He didn’t need a crime. He didn't need a witness. In those days, the law in Illinois said a man could commit his wife to an insane asylum without any evidence or a public hearing. He simply had to say she was "disturbed." One morning, a group of men arrived at her home. They didn't listen to her logic. They didn't care about her tears. They dragged her away to the Jacksonville Insane Asylum. Elizabeth was 43 years old, perfectly sane, and suddenly a prisoner. When she entered the asylum, she expected to see people who needed medical help. Instead, she found a warehouse of "inconvenient" women. There were wives who had argued with their husbands about money. There were daughters who refused to marry men they didn't love. There were women who were simply too loud or too independent. "This is not a hospital," Elizabeth realized. "It is a cage for the unwanted." The doctors tried to break her spirit. They told her that if she just admitted her husband was right and she was wrong, she could go home. They wanted her to say she was crazy for wanting her own thoughts. Elizabeth looked them in the eye and said, "I cannot buy my liberty by a lie." She didn’t give up. Instead, she started to write. She hid scraps of paper in the linings of her clothes. She tucked notes under floorboards. She recorded every abuse, every scream in the night, and every story of the women around her. She became a secret journalist inside a living nightmare. After three years, she was finally released, but her husband locked her in a room at home. He planned to move her to another asylum in a different state. This time, Elizabeth’s friends helped her get a message to a judge. A trial was finally ordered to determine if she was actually insane. The courtroom was packed. Theophilus was confident. He brought "experts" to say that her religious doubts proved her mind was broken. But then, Elizabeth stood up. She didn't shout. She spoke with the calm power of the truth. She explained her beliefs. She showed the jury that having a different opinion is not a disease. The jury only needed seven minutes. They came back with a single word: Sane. Elizabeth walked out as a free woman, but she found that her husband had taken everything. He had sold their furniture, taken her money, and disappeared with their children. She was alone and penniless. Most people would have disappeared into the shadows. Elizabeth did the opposite. She spent the next forty years traveling the country. She stood before the legislature and demanded new laws. She said, "A woman's mind is her own, and the law must protect it." Because of her, states changed their laws. They made it illegal to lock a person away without a fair trial and a medical exam. She turned her private pain into a public shield for thousands of other women. She proved that even if you take away a woman’s home, her money, and her children, you can never truly take away her voice.

À 95 ans, le philosophe et professeur américain Noam Chomsky a perdu la capacité de parler et d’écrire, marquant la fin d’une époque durant laquelle il a dévoilé des vérités profondes sur les systèmes mondiaux. Parmi ses réflexions les plus mémorables, on retrouve : « Il n’existe pas de pays pauvres — seulement des systèmes ayant échoué dans la gestion des ressources. » « Personne n’insérera la vérité dans votre esprit ; c’est quelque chose que vous devez découvrir par vous-même. » « Pour dominer un peuple, créez une menace imaginaire plus grande que vous-même, puis proposez-vous comme son protecteur. » « L’une des leçons les plus claires de l’histoire : les droits ne sont pas simplement accordés — ils se gagnent par l’effort et la lutte. » « Dénaturer l’histoire pour glorifier de “grands hommes” enseigne aux gens qu’ils sont impuissants et doivent attendre un héros, au lieu d’agir eux-mêmes. » « Le monde est complexe et déroutant ; si vous refusez de faire face à cette confusion, vous risquez de devenir une copie de l’esprit de quelqu’un d’autre. » « Pour contrôler les gens, faites-leur croire qu’ils sont la cause de leurs propres échecs et que le salut viendra d’une force extérieure. » « Le monde finira par regretter les idées qui détournent l’humanité de sa véritable nature. Reconnaître les valeurs authentiques est essentiel. »

C’est beau. L’amitié n’a pas d’âge. J’ai des copinnes qui sont dans leurs cinquantaines et ça se passe très bien. On s’entend très bien et je les adore. Par contre, certains commentaires sur cette belle vidéo.. choquant! C’est un truc de malade d’être si rabat joie et haineux, ufff! Y en a qui sont bien pénibles en France.

“Be isolated, be ignored, be attacked, be in doubt, be frightened but do not be silenced.” — Bertrand Russell

Nixon is painfully right and he is being what I call drastically honest about Africans in general. We tend to be naive and care more about being liked that being respected. We tend to be passive which comes accross as weakness. He said ‘’some’ which is also correct. Not all African have the mindset he is describing. If you are an African (I’m one too) whether in Africa or abroad observe other Africans around you. Most lack deep critical thinking and are mainly driven by petty competition among them. material possession and shallow and supercial connections. I have also met a great many number of wicked smart, badass African that have higher aspirations, doing great things for their community and back home in Africa. They are the minority. That’s my own observation having lived in the EU for over 20 years in several countries and cities. This world is a jungle and most of what we Africans sometimes atttribute to racism is just disdain of other communities that consider us weak, submissive and almost dumb for not realizing that power is taken and respect is earned. This is my own interpretatation of my understanding of what Nixon is saying.

Nixon said Africans are " like gullible children who don't understand politics. " Look these reckless fools drowning in suicidal solidarity for the same entity that murdered/oppressed Africans centuries.

@CrazyVibes_1 Love this!

She sat in a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV, doing calculus homework. Not because anyone made her. Not because a grade depended on it in that moment. But because 18-year-old Aya Osman from Orange Park, Florida had a dream — and cancer wasn't going to take it from her. At 16, Aya was diagnosed. Two years of treatment. Hospital stays. Medications. The kind of exhaustion most of us will never understand. While other kids her age were worrying about Friday night plans, Aya was fighting for her life and completing her International Baccalaureate coursework from a hospital bed. Let that sink in for a second. She didn't just survive. She thrived. This year, Aya Osman graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ridgeview High School with a 4.77 GPA — and walked across that stage cancer-free. When asked how she kept going through the darkest days, Aya didn't talk about willpower or heroics. She said simply, "It helped to distract yourself... It helps put your mind at ease and keeps you focused about something else." Homework. Piano music. One day at a time. That's it. That's her secret. She had a dream of becoming a neurologist since she was 12 years old — a little girl who looked at the human brain and thought, I want to understand that. Cancer tried to rewrite that story. Aya had other plans. And now? She's heading to New York University on a full scholarship. The same hands that gripped IV lines are going to hold a medical degree someday. The same mind that solved equations through nausea and fear is going to help heal others. Aya didn't go viral for a stunt. She didn't ask for attention. She just quietly, stubbornly, beautifully refused to give up — carried by family, fueled by purpose, and anchored by a piano and a pile of textbooks on a hospital tray. This is what courage actually looks like. Not loud. Not flashy. Just a girl doing her calculus homework when the world gave her every reason not to. Congratulations, Aya. You didn't just beat cancer — you showed all of us what's possible. 🎓 Share this if Aya's story gave you chills. Someone out there needs to see this today. 📸Courtesy of Aya Osman / Clay Today

When Hollywood pushes “strong independent woman” narratives year after year, it’s an agenda. The real message isn’t “women’s rights.” It’s the systematic dismantling of the family: Man becomes weak, useless, or toxic. Woman becomes hyper-independent, armed, and sexually dominant. Motherhood is reframed as a prison. Abandoning or rejecting children becomes an act of rebellion. It’s about breaking the natural balance between masculine men and feminine women. Once that balance is destroyed, society becomes sterile , emotionally, spiritually, and biologically, which opens the door to the next stage: transhumanism. That’s why so many celebrities now promote gender fluidity, trans identities, and “queer” aesthetics. It’s consistent with the inversion. The goal was never to choose a side, patriarchy vs feminism is a false fight. The goal is to erase the natural order: man in his masculine role, woman in her feminine role. Everything else is inversion. Most people still think this is just progress. But some of us see it for what it is: a spiritual operation disguised as entertainment. The Oscars are performing rituals, and the crowd keeps clapping. realityrevolt.com

Some of us women want masculine men. And most feminine women actually prefer settling with masculine men. The type of feminism rooted in protecting women and girls basic human rights and ensuring they have equal access to education, safety, security as boys is simply a fundamental human right and doesn’t even need the ‘feminism’ label. We should all - men and women- fight for this type of feminism. I’m however concerned about engineered feminism that comes with an agenda. I can’t help wonder whether this type of feminism isn’t Edward Bernays (Father of PR as we know it and the nephew of famous Sigmund Freud) style of mass subconscious manipulation of desires. His techniques are rooted in Psychology, Sociology, Pschoanalysis and they are heavily enforced by medias and HollyWeird. After all, Edward Bernays once managed to convinced an entire generation of women that smoking is an act of liberation and branded cigarettes are symbols of women liberation. Pure PR genius. What if modern day feminism are rooted in the same principles? If yes, what’s the agenda behind it? Weaken and destroy the family structure of dad, mom and children by raising hateful feminists girls who think boys/men are inherently evils in one hand and boys/men with no masculinity whatsoever?

Bravo à notre leader.

Le Sénégal a honoré une échéance majeure de sa dette extérieure en procédant au paiement de 471 millions de dollars dus à des créanciers internationaux. Une opération qui permet au pays d’éviter un incident de paiement et de préserver sa crédibilité financière dans un contexte marqué par des discussions en cours avec le FMI. rts.sn/actualite/deta…

🧵 The current monetary system was crafted for an industrial age, yet we're in a digital era driven by exponential technologies. This mismatch is unsustainable, and it's time to face the reality of tech-driven deflation. Let's explore why this is crucial.

@zoomafrika1 Who Africans should blame? Ourselves. Our very own corrupt, spineless and disorganized leaders. The average European, or American have no clue where the raw materials needed to manufacture their phones or computer are coming from.

This is what the children of Congo go through everyday so that you can have iPhone 17 Pro Max, Samsung S26U and other Gadgets 💔💔
