Tupac on Michael Jackson in an interview in 1992: "How you gonna sing about healing the world when you're sitting on a quadruple billion dollars in a gated mansion while your own people are starving in the gutter?. I ain't attacking his talent, but fame makes you forget the struggle. Once you reach that level, who are you really living for?"





I foresee a Nigeria where we start building houses with wood like American homes. Less of blocks, less of cements, there would be initial resistance, but it’s the only path to affordable housing. 15 years tops and it would be next thing.

The Sikhs learnt that the Afghans (being Muslims) considered pigs impure, and used pig fat & blood as a form of psychological warfare against them on the battlefield. It worked effectively, and they believed the same tactic could be used against other Muslims as well. On 18 Jan 1782, around 20,000 Sikh cavalry invading Awadh encamped at Balwalau Ghat. They used the same tactic, slaughtered pigs, extracted fat and blood, lit fires with pig fat, and rubbed (and greased) swords, arrows, bullets, guns and weapons with pig blood and fat. However, the opposing forces were not Afghan Muslims, but Hindustani Muslims, who were well accustomed to such psychological maneuvers. None of these tactics had any impact on the Awadhi Muslims. The commanders (Amjad Khan, Muhammad Hussain Khan, and Mir Muhammad Shah) led their battalions and attacked them. The Sikhs were unable to cope with a force composed of skilled artillerymen and gunners. After intense fighting, they gave way and retreated to the village of Chanauhri. The Awadh forces pursued them and, without giving them any rest, attacked again. It turned into a total Sikh disaster - they were routed and forced to flee across the Ganga River, where many drowned while escaping. Moral of the story: Pig products aren't the security you think they are.
