Interesting parapo meeting today, anger, lots of 'THEY' vs 'US'. The zoom meeting was well attended. People threatening fire, thunder, tagging those of us calling for calm "Traitors".

Then I asked, how many of your children were involved in the Ibadan killings today? SILENCE!

 Then one of my "Comrade" himself and his wife are always jumping from @channelstv to @ARISEtv. I asked him, aside your television rounds, have you ever handled an AK47? Simple question, he called me a bastard.
I asked will your Ibadan radio station host 100 Eso's? SILENCE!
Then another one, he was Afenifere lackeys, during the Ajegunle crisis, the same one who chopped money meant for young Yoruba who were defending their streets, mane died needlessly. I asked when last he visited Eso zones across Yoruba land. SILENCE! He kept ranting Fulani bla bla
Then practical questions to another, do we have a list of our vulnerable settlements? Any attempt to activate our fighting organisations so that all manner of people don't go about attacking innocent non Yoruba. SILENCE!

That one pretended he had poor network. No answer!
Then another one, he said I had 'changed'. I told him, you cant have witnessed a wicked Yoruba ruling elite, hype up sons and daughters of the poor and personally attended the burial of many of those unsung heroes and not call for extreme caution and the need to truly be prepared
Then the other clown, the one that shuttles between Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi government agencies, he hates the Fulani, but not the @elrufai or @atiku or any other rich Fulani. But the poor Fulani in Yoruba settlements. They are the easy target. They are not in the forest.
Then when I raised the issue of holding ALL Yoruba political office holders to account, they kept screaming @MBuhari I told them I am as disappointed in Buhari as they are but hey, stop sidestepping our Yoruba elected officials, be it @OfficialAPCNg or @OfficialPDPNig SILENCE!
Then one accused me of being 'abroad'. Ah! The same person, his wife and his children are in America. I told him to bring his immediate family back to Nigeria and I will join them. All trough military rule I stayed in Nigeria. I left after civilian rule, who is the Coward here?
I might be a lone voice, but for the sake of Gari Ifo whose corpse we never recovered, the sake of Alahji Toyin, whose head was chopped off and placed in a calabash, For the sake of hundreds of young Yoruba led to their early grave. I will always call for a better way than war.
If @MBuhari isn't doing well, mobilise for a legitimate removal. *Impeachment *Cabinet invoking an act for removal or PMB choosing to resign. Any other means including burning your own community. I will oppose. No one is more Yoruba than the other. We must find a better way.
Some of us know each and everyone of you, we know your plan B. We know how you will end up in the Diaspora when Nigeria descends into Somalia, you will jump from @CNN to @BBCNews as 'experts' whilst the poor attacks the poor and your NGO rake in foreign donation to "help out".
If you can not see how you are slowly making Yorubaland the Ground Zero of the Nigerian conflict, how the same people who control the Nigerian Civil Society Space have a kitchen cabinet where narratives are cooked to the local and International media then you can never see.
If it was really about headsmen, our strategy will be to focus on the forests, play offence not defence. Yoruba land of 2021 is diverse, we have Igbo Yoruba. Hausa Yoruba. Igala Yoruba and others, it is home and we must find a way to make those groups allies in defending our poor
If raking and making noise with little preparation is the way forward, like masturbation, you will ejaculate, but it does not replace having the real poi.

It is not too late to look back at the mistake of the past to correct the wrongs of today. The choice is for us all.
For the records. I am not opposed to Oduduwa Republic or the right of any other group to self determination but my views have changed about getting to that destination. If it can not be achieved without bloodshed, call me a coward. I'd rather work to make what we have now better.
To those young people going about attacking those who do not speak your lang, when the refugee ship arrives Nigeria in a full blown conflict. @MBuhari will make room first for the family of his opponents before he remembers either his supporters or supporters of his opponents.
To the North. The fear of farmers being attacked are real, women being raped are real, communities chased away from ancestral lands are real. You have to mount pressure on your political leaders to seek sincere, genuine and fair solution with their southern counterparts.
The anger a lot of people feel against Boko Haram, a lot of none Northerners, that same anger should be channelled to those terrorising the South, they are mainly of Fulani extraction, but that does not mean they commit crime in the name of the Fulani. We are all in this together
To @MBuhari & @ProfOsinbajo, you sure have no idea what is brewing in the South West. It is not just what is brewing, it is the reaction that will come from the North (If it is allowed to continue unresolved) WAKE UP! I'd rather be an alarmist than keep quiet. God bless Nigeria.
Particularly @NGRPresident @MBuhari I started supporting you when no one dared touch you in the South West. Since ANPP days. Never gained personal favour from your government despite all the rumours in the public domain. Been begging @tundefashola to fix Ikare road. No answer.
Mr President @MBuhari if you see ever see this, take the current Herders/Farmers conflict as your own BH incubation when OBJ mismanaged Mohammed Yusuf.

If this is the only favour I will get from supporting you, please. DO BETTER! Declare a war on all criminal elements with AK47.
Post Note! The clown in the meeting that was screaming Sunday Igboho.

I wont be the one to bust the myth. I recognise that the emergence of Sunday speaks volume of our collective failure.

All I can say is if it gets too hot. Sunday will join is family in Germany.

I KNOW IT!
To those social media warriors, hosting live @Facebook broadcasts, attacking other ethnic groups and blaming all that is wrong in Yoruba land on the Fulani. I wish I can laugh at your ignorance, but it isn't funny at all. Most of you are young, so you just have no idea.
To those in the Yoruba Diaspora, raising money for some imaginary war. You had better channel your funds to our villages, primary health care centres need your funds than the pretenders scamming you. When the real war starts, they will be in Benin republic before you say EGBE!
One of the very urgent solution is for @MBuhari declare that war and mobilise all the GOC's of Nigerian Army in SW and hold them responsible in the defence of our Forest reserves, to protect both the Farmers and Herders until political leaders find a lasting solution.
Anyone deceiving you that we have a charm that can win us a war, if it worked, they would have used those charms against the invaders, we are in 2021 this is not Ogun kirji or the Ogedengbe wars, we need all hands on deck to protect both visitors, settlers and all in S WEST.

How does a government put a legislation on 'hold'? Is there any constitutional mechanism for the executive to 'pause' a validly passed legislation? Genuine Koshan.


So a committee of 'wise men/women' selected by the SC will stand in judgement over the law passed by


Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud.


Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.

How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.

The U.S. national security and intelligence apparatus has said for years that climate change is the single greatest threat to the nation and world. While systems intrusion and hacking by foreign actors could potentially have replicated some of what happened in Texas, it didn't.

Climate change and failure to plan did that, along with incompetence, ineptitude, and sheer greed.

Not only was what happened in Texas the failure of governance and malfeasance, it was a complete failure of imagination, vision, and insight.

While some folks want to call it a "black swan event," the fact is what happened in Texas was not. Not only was it anticipated, it was predicted. The people in charge were told what the problems were, how to fix them and why. They were told what to expect if they didn't.

Not only was it a cyclical occurrence (the third time in just over 30 years), both the periodicity and severity are increasing and intensifying. Therefore, the choices for inaction paved the way for the occurrence. It was inevitable.

In this regard, conservative ideology, philosophy and fiscal beliefs are their own worse enemy. That's because conservatism's most natural response is at best to do nothing, at worst to resist. Therefore, the disaster was a multi-layered, time induced, mountain of self-sabotage.

A thread on... where we are as Americans.

Since I was a kid, I've been a 'news junkie'. Read both local newspapers every day, all the newsmagazines, and watched every local & national newscast. I even wrote & voiced a national financial news broadcast for several years.

1/


Even after I left broadcasting, I continued to consume all the news within reach. Religiously watching all the Sunday shows, writing letters to the editor, and plowing into Social Media- when it first started! I even watched all the late-nite comics for their witty snark.

2/


Now, for the first time in my life, I don't. I keep up with events, and still read voraciously, but I just can't watch or read the majority of the corporate news. Because most of it ISN'T news anymore, but a sad self-parody akin to the 1976 Movie 'Network'.

3/


Paddy Chayefsky wrote a scathing satire of a news network so consumed with ratings that it eschewed journalistic ethics in favor of sensationalism and pushing narrow corporate and political interests. That sadly, is no longer parody.

4/


The line between 'hard news' and opinion was erased at most outlets long ago. We no longer talk of 'objectivity' or hearing both sides'. People refer to most (formerly) 'hard news' outlets by their ideological slant, and the agenda they push.

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.


She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.


It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

1 of 16: WE ARE ALL JEWS HERE: THE STORY OF RODDIE EDMONDS

One of the most moving and relevant stories of the Battle of the Bulge, or any American Soldier in any war, is that of Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, a Knoxville, Tennessee native, who served with the 106th Infantry.


2 of 16:

Roddie was captured early on in the Battle of the Bulge, on December 19th, when Panzer forces plowed through his unit.

He, along with almost his entire regiment, was forced to surrender.


3 of 16:

The men were transported to the Stalag IX-A POW camp in Ziegenhain, Germany.

Roddie was the senior enlisted American Soldier at the site. As such, he was the conduit between all American Soldiers and their German captors.


4 of 16:

In late January, the camp’s commandant, Major Siegmann [pictured here], ordered Roddie, a Christian, to identify all Jewish Soldiers and order them to stand in formation by themselves the next day.

[Jewish Soldiers were a minority within American units]


5 of 16:

Throughout WWII, captured Jewish Soldiers were often tortured and then killed by their German captors.

In fact, Jewish Soldiers had been told to bury their dog tags before capture. The dog tag identified Jews with the letter “H” for Hebrew.
