Yesterday, as at 08:00am-09:00am, I left the residence of a family member and something pathetic happened when I was about getting home.
I was on a street closer to the junction when I suddenly heard a heavy sound. I ran towards the junction in few seconds and saw people...

 gathered around a MAN. He just had an accident.

This man, who looks in his early, mid or late forties is soaked in blood. His right eyeball is almost entirely out of its SEAT, his nose isn't clearly seen because thick blood had drenched it, half his head was full of blood...
& more kept gushing off his head towards the ground. This MAN'S left leg has broken and his wrist crushed and was bruised too.
When I got to this place, over 60-100 humans gathered around him and began pitying him. The MAN roared, "please, I need water, I need water, I'm dying"..
Blood kept gushing off his head.
The statement he made echoed into me when I got there. I ran Helter skelter in search of water and luckily I got. I was about fetching it when those who I met gathering around the man shouted, "NOBODY should give him water, it's dangerous for...
...him." I dropped the bowl, I was perplexed!
I ran towards him, now, he's soaked in blood, the ground was well soaked too. The MAN began, "I'm dying, someone should please help me, I'm dying, don't watch me please, please, this is, please..."
I didn't make him finish his mixed..
...utterances, I neared him and people kept watching and "pitying" him.
I shouted, "Please, the hospital is just close by, let's carry him, please, he's a human, he's dying, we can't keep watching, please!"
I swear, no one answered!
They were over 50 persons. Car drivers...
...stopped by to "WATCH" & say "HEY YA". People kept watching. I kept shouting as I watched the man die slowly...slowly...he was passing his last breathe presumably I thought.
"Please people, I can't carry him alone." I've tried, but he was too heavy. He's not extremely fat...
...fat but he's too huge for me to lift. I kept shouting, "stop watching him, let's carry him, come, bros, please, come, please, I can't carry him alone." When no one answered, I felt the need to speak with some Northern guys (they were speaking Hausa) who were present, "mallam..
Dan Allah, let's carry him, Dan Allah mallam, please, he's dying, Dan Allah." They were about 7-10 in numbers, one of them wanted to come but people kept whispering to him, so, he murmured some words I do not understand and stayed back.
I went to meet the man. He said, "pick my..
phone, call my last dialed number and tell him what happened." His voice was slowly leaving him but, something remained in his voice; the call for help. He doesn't keep mum. He kept saying it, "I'm dying, you people are watching me, please help me." I dialed the number and one...
woman, who I would always pray to have as a guardian angel, came out of the crowd with a wrapper tied to her waist, joined me, took the man's phone and started making phone calls.
The man faintly kept mentioning names of people we can call. I called two persons before handling...
the phone to this woman, a mother, a humanitarian. A real HUMAN.

We became two and with this MAN. We were three, seeking for help, "let's carry him, he's dying." I heard responses that shows 90% of us are just humans physically but not internally.

Some said...
"does he know him?" Others said, "his blood will stain my clothe, I don't want to touch him." This time, I was soaked in blood too.
I hurried towards the man again, tried lifting him but I couldn't. Then, I saw one man I know. I shouted, "please Alfa, come, don't let us watch...
"please Alfa, come, don't let us watch him, he's dying." Alfa came, joined us. So, I, Alfa, and this Woman tried lifting him, we couldn't because some parts of his body, leg especially, was broken and must be handled with care.

Then, when some men saw what was going on, they...
they came and kept shouting, "carry him now" without joining us. They were huge, had the body of people who gym a lot.

Suddenly, a young man joined us, then, we lifted the man towards the nearest clinic. Meanwhile, nobody was willing to help with their car/motorcycle...
So, we kept walking and the man was dying. Blood was still gushing out. When I noticed I couldn't lift him any longer, I was carrying him from the buttocks, it weighed me down. I dropped him, ran towards the hospital, spoke with the Doctor who was dressed in a celestial church...
a Christ white gown and about leaving for church. Remember, this happened yesterday (Sun, December 20, 2020). The Doctor dropped off her car and ordered the nurses on duty to bring a wheelchair.
The nurse was still "driving" the wheelchair when I dashed into the hospital...
collected the wheelchair and carried it instead of "driving." I carried it to where the man was and we lifted him on the wheelchair. This time, the nurses, who work at Krownfits Hospital at Odo-eran Iyana Iyesi Ota Ogun State joined in the help too.
We wheeled him towards the...
hospital but before getting there, he fell off the wheelchair and shouted, "e Joo, monku ni bayi." (Please, I'm dying right now). We helped him on the wheelchair again and luckily, he found his way into the hospital. When the Doctor, a woman I'd forever respect, began cleaning...
him with wool, she never minded her white garment. She was there to "save a life." She didn't ask us of money like others do. She didn't ask for anything but only dropped off her car, ordered a wheelchair be released, and said we should put him on a bed.
When the cleaning began..
this man's nose was shattered into pieces and his right eye is currently "unwordable" about. I watched him and how the treatment went down. He was worried, so, I kept telling him, "sir, you'd be fine, I'm hopeful, you'd be fine, you are being attended to."
I asked the Doctor...
if I can take my leave, she said, "you can still wait". I did for some minutes but, together with those we wheeled him in left the ward, except that woman handling the man's phone. She repeatedly kept calling different persons the man named earlier.
So, I went to where water...
was in the hospital and washed myself, my hands most especially. I met with those who joined me and another conversation ensued.
They said it's not like they don't want to help but, in Nigeria, things might be turned to affect those who help. I told them, "no matter what, help...
please, anything else will be settled later, save a life."

So, I left for the accident scene and the "WATCHERS" & "HEY YA" people had reduced in number and they kept saying, "you saved the man, you saved his life o." As I heard this, if I had gun on me, I honestly may lose...
control.

I walked to the man, whose car crashed with the man's motorcycle (I don't know how it happened), and kept staring at him. I don't know why he didn't help when we were trying to rush the man to the hospital. Only God knows what was on his mind. He just kept staring at...
his car and said, "my tyre was burst and I've parked it before it happened."

I left the place and honestly, I was traumatized. When I got home, I soaked my clothe and couldn't sit for a long time. I had a running tummy and left for the toilet. When I returned, my mum said...
something, "it's how Nigeria is, please, be careful of helping people, only God will help us in this country." After thinking about it very well, mum said, "go and check on the man later."

So, towards the evening, I was at the hospital with my cousin brother (Abdulbaki Musa)...
who I have summarized the tragic incident with. We were directed to a different ward and therein, We saw him, sleeping. His wife and about three family members (I presume) were there and kept kneeling in appreciation of what we did for the man. A nurse had told them earlier...
that those that brought him here are here to greet him."
So, dear Readers, I'm here writing this and at the same time thinking about several other things. I'd repeat what I said about 3-4months ago, "when something happens, especially tragic things, don't watch/take pictures,...
take action, save the life(ves) first." Don't feel less concerned, be very well concerned. Please, let's be humane at all times. It might just be YOU.

I just hope this man becomes fine at the end of it all. I don't know if there's anything else WE CAN ALL DO TO HELP HIM. The...
wife looked helpless. The family members too. Idris Abdulrahman Omeiza is writing from Ogun State...
LAST👇👇👇
Honestly, I feel like going there to greet the man today being 21st of December (Monday) 2020 but, If there's anything WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM, I'D BE GLAD. You can reach out to me on 08108045957.
Kindly retweet aggressively please!!!

We have to talk Crunchyroll yet the fuck again, but this time over a issue with Translation in the Zombie Idol recent episode but first i need to apologize to .@BigBootyWitches because i got it wrong between trans and futa but it turns out we all got played by Crunchy...

first off. One Poster i retweeted turned out to say that Lily, is more of a Ototo No Ko. She later confirms from those that watch the show in Japan that the audio doesnt match the translation and the translation itself was a self insert.

This is the major problem I have. Look, i get it. The west still has no handle on these issues. Other countries dont raise a huge fit about it and in Asia certain countries societies dont really accept it and some reluctantly accept it.

But this continuation of the bullshit from Crunchy since High Guardian Spice is beyond the pale. They lied about helping the Japanese animators. They lied about their new projects and their dubs, Funimation took most of their projects away from Crunchy...

And now, so desperate for relevance and kicks and outrage, they do this self insert, just to get some of their more conservative folk on edge, ranting about how they left one "pozzed" medium with the western animation industry to see the "pozz" get into the only thing left...

Wow! Rare moment of truth at the UN as Miss Iraq Sarah Idan calls out Hamas terrorism, antisemitism taught in Muslim countries, and biased media.

THREAD: "Two years ago, I represented Iraq at Miss Universe. I posted a photo with Miss Israel on social media..."


"I was told to remove it and forced to denounce Israeli policies. I received death threats. Since then I can no longer return to my homeland.

Why did the Iraqi government fail to condemn the threats, or allow my freedom of speech?"

"The issue between Arabs and Israelis goes beyond policy disagreements. It’s deeply rooted in the belief systems taught in Muslim countries, which are anti-Semitic."

"Sadly, hatred & intolerance are reinforced by biased media. When I watched the news last month, why did they never report that the Hamas terrorist organization fired nearly 700 rockets at Israeli civilians in one weekend or that Hamas used Palestinians in Gaza as human shields?"

"Why do they never condemn Hamas for initiating the attacks? Instead, they only show those killed by the response, in self-defense, and blame Israel."

If you know me, you know I don't like broadcasting details about my personal life on this website, but I have been getting asked why I'm not doing Christmas this year so I just wanna put this whole mess to bed. First of all, I don't agree with gay marriage... (1 of 4,625)

... full of dog food and she said, "I'm pretending this is ice cream! Treat me like a baby!" and proceeded to hump her own arm and I thought, "something tells me this isn't the real Norah Jones"... (117 of 4,625)

...cost me $7,000. I had to put it on two separate credit cards! It wasn't 'til I got to my car that I realized "that's way too expensive for one onion." But I didn't have time. Amanda Seyfried was begging to change my diaper... (1,001 of 4,625)

It is simply not correct to point fingers at wind & solar energy as we try to understand the situation in TX. The system (almost) had a plan for weather (almost) like this. 1/x


It relied on very little wind energy - that was the plan. It relied on a lot of natural gas - that was the plan. It relied on all of its nuclear energy - that was the plan. 2/x

There was enough natural gas, coal and nuclear capacity installed to survive this event - it was NOT "forced out" by the wind energy expansion. It was there. 3/x

Wind, natural gas, coal and nuclear plants all failed to deliver on their expectations for long periods of time. The biggest gap was in natural gas! The generators were there, but they were not able to deliver. 4/x

It may be fair to ask why there is so much wind energy in ERCOT if we do NOT expect it to deliver during weather events like this, but that is an entirely different question - and one with a lot of great answers!! 5/x

Brief thread to debunk the repeated claims we hear about transmission not happening 'within school walls', infection in school children being 'a reflection of infection from the community', and 'primary school children less likely to get infected and contribute to transmission'.

I've heard a lot of scientists claim these three - including most recently the chief advisor to the CDC, where the claim that most transmission doesn't happen within the walls of schools. There is strong evidence to rebut this claim. Let's look at


Let's look at the trends of infection in different age groups in England first- as reported by the ONS. Being a random survey of infection in the community, this doesn't suffer from the biases of symptom-based testing, particularly important in children who are often asymptomatic

A few things to note:
1. The infection rates among primary & secondary school children closely follow school openings, closures & levels of attendance. E.g. We see a dip in infections following Oct half-term, followed by a rise after school reopening.


We see steep drops in both primary & secondary school groups after end of term (18th December), but these drops plateau out in primary school children, where attendance has been >20% after re-opening in January (by contrast with 2ndary schools where this is ~5%).

1. Let's talk about Albanians. No, not THOSE Albanians, in the Balkans. The Caucasian Albanians, the pre-Turkish inhabitants of the land now known as Azerbaijan. 🇦🇿


2. Yeah, I know, there's also an "Iberia" there, which should cause even more confusion (with Spain), but let's focus on "Albania".

3. This ancient church in the village of Nij (or Nic), just south of the Caucasus Mountains, belongs to the Udi people, a Christian minority in Azerbaijan descended from the area’s pre-Turkic Caucasian Albanians. 🇦🇿


4. Nearby are the ruins of the Caucasian Albanian capital of “old” Gabala (Qebele), where I was given a personal tour by one of the resident archeologists (just for showing up). 🇦🇿


5. Only a very tiny portion of the extensive site has been excavated. “Every place you dig,” the archeologist told me, “you will find artifacts.” This whole field is a city waiting to be uncovered.

A thread on the life and achievements of Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani RadiAllah who served Islam infinitely as the Reviver (Mujadid) of the 11th Century!


Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was one of the greatest Islamic Saint, Scholar, and Jurist. The honorific Muhiyudin denotes his status with many Sufis as a "reviver of religion". Jilani refers to his place of birth. He also carried the epithet Baghdadi.

[1]

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was born on the eve of the 2nd of Ramadan 470 AH. His birth was a great blessing for the Ummah. It was the arrival of the Sultan al-Awliya (King of the Awliya) of that era, which had been foretold for centuries before his birth.

[2]

When Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jillani was asked by someone what brought him to his high spiritual level, he said, The truthfulness which I promised to my mother. He related the following story:
"One day, on the eve of Eid al-Adhā, I went to my mother, who was then a widow and..

[3]

..and requested her, 'Send me to the path of Truth, give me permission to go to Baghdad to acquire knowledge, to be with the wise and those who are close to Allah. She cried, but she brought out 80 pieces of gold, which was all that my father had left as inheritance.
