Nigeria's problem is hinged on spiritual and physical darkness, and the earlier we get either or both corrected the better for us.

@shubhvanii Neednt grow up in the trenches to understand this though.

If you grew up in the trenches, you already know this: The dumber the people around you are, the more aggression you must show to be respected. The smarter the people around you are, the less aggression you must show to be respected. This is an unwritten law of human hierarchy.

@polyglotodulesi Interesting

I first heard of Olukumi about 4 years ago when one Eze chatted me up on LinkedIn. I thought he was Igbo so I responded In Igbo. I was shocked when he told me he is not Igbo but Yoruba from Olukumi, Anioma, in Delta State. Yesterday however, I met one physically in an office. I asked him (Youth Corper) for his name and he said Austine Anyasi. I spoke Igbo to him as Anyasi means night in Igbo. He said he is not Igbo but Yoruba from Ugbódú, in Anioma, Delta State. I asked him why answer Igbo name as a Yoruba man? He then explained that their real name is Alẹ́. Alẹ́ means night in Yoruba and Anyasi in Igbo. Then I understood the power of acculturation more. The Olukumi speak a dialect of Yoruba similar to that spoken in a part of Ondo State. Since they live in smaller communities around larger Igbo communities in Anioma, Aniocha North Local Government Area and nearby areas in Delta State. It is only natural that with the passage of time, they began to answer the names of the larger community where they find themselves. They are bilingual. It is the same thing with Ijaw people who live in Ondo, Ogu in Badagry and Igala in Enugu and Anambra. Many of them answer names of the larger community. Rose Odika the veteran Nollywood actress is Olukumi and there are so many of them like that. They prefer to answer Igbo names yet they are Yoruba. Until one travels or truly opens his heart, one will not understand some things. Does one willingly answer the names of a people that are not good to one? I mean you drop your name and choose to answer the names of the larger community? Bottom line: we are first humans before belonging to tribes and no one chooses which tribe to be born into.

Before commenting, I'd like to understand the rationale behind this. How? Why?

@LOlp456 @PastorMarvy Rora ke?😂

@PastorMarvy Non of the middle east nation is attacking them except isreal that have killed all their leaders. E ma rora pelu analysis yin

Iran has caused the biggest ever energy disruption in history, took on two of the greatest military, downed one of the world’s stealthiest warplanes and singlehandedly took on the entire Middle East. The world seriously underrated Iran.

Tacha? Wonderful.

@DavidMKeyes End the war. But we know both sides especially the ME actors (Ir and Is) arent interested in ending it just yet.

The most creative way to open the Strait of Hormuz is _______________________ (write your ideas in the comments)

@JenJenJennywren @elonmusk @shanaka86 while at the same time advising your bosses in Tehran to quit the 'death to America, death to Israel' national slogan. Both sides need to actively seek peace.

@elonmusk @shanaka86 Maybe you could ask your bosses at the Pentagon to ease off the apocalyptic crusades

Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s atmosphere permanently. Once released, it rises through the troposphere, passes the stratosphere, and leaves the planet. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be synthesised at industrial scale. It accumulates over billions of years in the same geological reservoirs as natural gas. And one third of the world’s supply just went offline because Iran hit the facility that extracts it. Qatar produced roughly 63 million cubic metres of helium in 2025, accounting for 30 to 36 percent of global supply from a total of approximately 190 million cubic metres. QatarEnergy’s three large helium purification plants at Ras Laffan form the world’s biggest helium production base. When LNG production stopped after Iranian drone strikes on March 2 and the subsequent missile damage on March 19, helium extraction stopped automatically because helium is recovered during natural gas liquefaction. You cannot produce helium without producing LNG. The byproduct dies with the primary product. Spot helium prices have roughly doubled since the crisis began. Industry consultants warn that prolonged disruption could push contract prices toward $2,000 per thousand cubic feet. A major industrial gas supplier has already begun assessing customers a helium surcharge. Phil Kornbluth, the most cited helium market consultant, stated the assessment directly: the world cannot compensate for the loss of a third of its helium supply. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. SK Hynix and Samsung operate high-volume fabs producing the DRAM and high-bandwidth memory that power every AI accelerator, every data centre GPU, and every cloud computing cluster on Earth. Helium cools silicon wafers during fabrication. It serves as a carrier gas in deposition and etching tools. It enables leak detection in vacuum systems. Modern extreme ultraviolet lithography requires helium-cooled environments for precise temperature control. Without helium, the fabrication process degrades or stops. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Two to three months is not a buffer. It is a countdown. If Ras Laffan remains offline beyond that window, South Korean memory production faces rationing. TSMC in Taiwan is somewhat more diversified but still uses Qatar-linked supply chains. The entire AI hardware supply chain, from HBM3E memory stacks to advanced logic chips, sits inside helium-dependent ecosystems. Beyond semiconductors, helium cools the superconducting magnets in more than 14,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. It pressurises rocket fuel tanks and purges propulsion systems in aerospace. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider depends on helium cryogenic systems. There is no substitute for helium in any of these applications at industrial scale. The United States and Qatar together account for more than 70 percent of global production. The US federal helium reserve and private suppliers offer partial relief, but global prices and spot availability are still governed by Qatar’s market share. Japan’s Iwatani has drawn on US reserves. Canada and the Rockies are seeing renewed investor interest. None of this replaces 63 million cubic metres in weeks. The war hit uranium first. Then oil. Then nitrogen. Then water. Then plastic. Then medicine. Then sulfur. Now helium. Eight layers. Each one deeper. Each one closer to the infrastructure that sustains modern civilisation. The chip that processes your data, the magnet that scans your body, and the rocket that launches your satellite all depend on an atom that leaves the planet when you lose it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

African madmen from Nigeria to Kenya to South Africa are screaming "Hurrah!!!"

@NormalGPolitics @calvinfroedge Let him enjoy his dream, please.

@calvinfroedge Iran is winning because they clipped a fighter jet that landed safety with the pilot unharmed? That like saying you won because they gave you a participation trophy.

So today Iran crippled world gas output for years, hit an F35, and knocked the power out in Haifa after hitting Israel's only oil refinery with a ballistic missile I think it might be time to say it - Iran is winning the war

"Israel, out of anger..." Means the Iranians had touched something of worth to the Israelis; but the media knows nothing of it, yet.

This lady would make a good wife. Na once you go know.

@NewsCentralTV They should take ownership, rather than blaming every other person, including US and Israel.

"For us to end this act of terrorism, the people of Borno State and Yobe State must take ownership of this problem. Because the bulk of the people perpetrating these heinous acts are from these states." Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, says that insurgency cannot be fully defeated without local ownership.

This Iran/Israel-US war is kinda confusing.

Lies; they are trained by Israel and US.

@R_o_u_n_a_k @DavidMKeyes @elenabahramis They'd better do a good job.

@DavidMKeyes @elenabahramis After all this is done and dusted, Hollywood will be busy making action movies about these intelligence operations for decades. They will be my favourite movies of all times 😆🙌🏽

TOLD YOU.

@Osi_Suave That last sentence is the issue. If that bloody goat herder, who probably cannot impregnate a female yet, handles AK47 that an average Nigerian has not touched ever, youd realise he aint no goat herder. Terrorism is the main job, herding is side hustle.

In the space of 2 days, the military repelled 3 attacks And now as bomb blast. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but something doesn't add up The president also doesn't seem on top of this situation. How are we getting pummeled by goat herders in bathroom slippers..

@spectatorindex The US will be doffing their hats for Israel for years to come. Israel has mastered the craft of war to near perfection. Why wont it, when her neighbours led by Iran want her annihilated.

US officials say that the military has lost over a dozen MQ-9 Reaper drones so far during the war with Iran, according to ABC News report.

@odiimichael1 @spectatorindex Was 'death to America, death to Israel' for over 40 years as a national slogan towards guaranteeing peace?

Israel publicly vowing to "neutralize" Iran's new Supreme Leader? Bold or reckless as hell. I get the rage against the regime but announcing assassinations like this usually guarantees wider war, not peace. History's full of these moves backfiring spectacularly. The mullahs won't just shrug this off.

BREAKING: Israeli military says it will 'track down' and 'neutralize' Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

@Seti433 @spectatorindex Your men of honour co-opt proxies to be attacking a nation less than 1/10 their size? Sit this one out, you know zilch about honor.

@spectatorindex Instead of fighting war like men of honor, Trump and Netanyau have just resorted to assassinations

@spectatorindex "Iran is winning the war."
