Cliff breakdown.
🇺🇸

1. About 2 years ago, the FG proposed a RUGA solution to herders farmers conflict and some Nigerians blackmailed the conversation with some of the most disgusting ethnocentric bile you would ever see.
The monstrous gang up weakened people like me, who wanted a lasting solution.

2. Some people even went as far as saying the FG shouldn't invest Nigeria's money to pastoralists advantage. I was stunned at such amount of bile. When you point out that other farmers were equally collecting grants, they started comparing the amounts of grants looking for bias.

3. It was shocking that a problem which predated the amalgamation of Nigeria was reduced in space and time to become the agenda of a Fulani President who wanted to "Fulanise," Nigeria of 2010s and 2020s. Apart from it being socially impossible it is also bizarre to think such.

4. Hypocrites of all shapes and sizes crept out of their holes, spinning conspiracy theories that would have made the writer, Dan Brown green. In one breath, you hear, "ranching is the solution," in another you hear, "don't use my father's land for ranching."

5. At the end of the day, we're neither here nor there. The forced stalemate of that RUGA conversation of 2019, is morphing into a bigger problem for Nigeria's unity in 2021. Every right thinking Nigerian know we have to sieve out the criminals from the Fulani pastoralists.

Used to take saxophone classes at my church when I hadn't gotten admission to uni yet. I had this special spot at the back of my church when I'd rehearse peacefully. There was a house behind the church. On certain days, I'd hear noises more like a person crying.....

Or wailing or a heated argument. Used to dismiss it as movies or TV noises and just did my thing. This certain day, I was eating before rehearsals, Spaghetti and Dodo to be precise, then I heard those noises again. This time around, there was the cry of a child....

.....loud and clear. I never knew a child lived there. It got louder. I was forced to peep. There she was, petite and dark-skinned.
"My daddy is beating my mommy!!! My daddy want to kill my mommy with knife!!!"
Fear. Gripped me hard.
They lived there alone.

The house was just refurbished at the time, so my guess was they bought it, refurbished it and moved in alone. No neighbors.
The girl saw me.
"Please help my mommy, please call police"
I was transfixed.
Then I jolted back to reality.

Ran back to the church, alerted men in there.
Called about 4 of them.
We got to the gate of the house.
Locked.
Then we started banging.
The noise alerted those around.
(The area is almost like an estate, quiet and stuff, so little noise alerted the others).

Hi everyone, Welcome!
I am Claire Igwe. I would like to welcome everyone joining us to this tweet chat.

Our conversation today is a warm-up to the PAD PROJECT, an outreach planned by FIGURE (Feminist Inspiring Gender Unity, Respect and Equality)

In early March last year, the FIGURE family reached out to young girls in Ile-Ife with sanitary pads, some valuable sex education and smiles😇.

It would be a thrill to do this again this year, with your support of course.

We would be having @afrika_sisi (founder and facilitator of FIGURE) as our guest for this chat

We would be hitting a very pressing but commonly overlooked topic today; Sexual Harassment and Assault of Underage Girls in Secondary Schools.

So, we would get right on to the chat.
Please feel free to jump in with your contributions and retweet.

I am somehow now getting the the reason why all WWW based SM platforms went berserk simultaneously! Nope it has nothing to do with the election results , rather its a bigger plan a deception ! Here it goes .. its a thread

The deletes (dark eeeelllliiitttteeesss) were living a happy life in shadows while controlling the world via their puppets such as religion and money ! Then there was a disruption in their paradise , it was the rise of internet

They didn’t take it seriously in the beginning, but it gradually started connecting the world , people from distant places could communicate with each other share ideas and culture , and then twin tower happened when people first took to the internet to expose Deletes

By 2012 Expose of deletes on the internet reached to a dangerous level .. there were too many awakened people ( deletes call them conspiracy theorist) now all across the world , who understood their shenanigans

Deletes had to stop it ! This technology and specially teh world wide web was the biggest enemy of their long cherished dream of controlling the whole world ! They needed technology for it but the technology was proving to be a double edged sword due to it world wide web nature!

The stunning announcement of >$6B in philanthropic donations in one year by @mackenziescott deserves wider

Fine piece by @nkulish in the @nytimes that addresses some of the key

But this should be just the start.

Important first to put the $6B total in context. Total grantmaking in 2019 by @darrenwalker at the @FordFoundation was ~$350M. Total at @Hewlett_Found was ~$450M.

So @mackenziescott is ~15x some of the largest and most discussed foundations.

To the best of my knowledge, what we know about her philanthropy stems from a total of two posts on @Medium.

No address. No website. No known staff. We don't even know much about the entities she's using -- DAFs, LLCs, private

What's interesting about her philanthropy?

*Proves it's not that difficult to give away a billion dollars.
*No strings attached giving - all general operating support over multiple years
*No reporting requirements, AFAIK

Amazing what is going on with narratives that justify ever more draconian policies.

1. Lockdowns China did would never be acceptable in a democracy.
2. Covid is really scary and we don’t know how badly it affects people. Maybe the chinese knows something we don’t. Let’s err on the side of caution.

3. It doesn’t seem to impact kids as much, and the figures show shielded protection is viable - but we need to protect against LONG covid. 4. The first wave outbreak seems not to be matched by same scale of excess deaths as second wave. But mutant strain now about!

5. We don’t know if mutant strain will be treatable with vaccines or if it will impact children - better to err on side of caution and shut everything down again. 6. Data suggests hospitals are within winter crisis norms - but these are not the data points you are looking for.

7. The data points you are looking for are anecdotal testimonies from mostly anonymous NHS staff as well as new regimes and protocol constraints which make all the previous data null and void.

In a few years the bar moved from saying that children weren’t undergoing irreversible procedures, to arguing in The New Yorker that children should get to sterilize themselves for life without regard to the “arbitrary historical boundaries of

Among those of us with left-of-center political ideals, it’s only radical feminists who will now stand up and say that it’s wrong to sterilize children because they’re different, or unhappy. It’s only conservatives who will platform us to say

Where are the other organizations that claim to represent lesbian and bisexual women, saying that these girls don’t need mastectomies? Where are the gay men’s groups standing up for the wholeness of these boys? Why are they abandoning their responsibilities?

Where are the groups for those on the autism spectrum, standing up to say that it’s completely typical for autistic young people to have social fit difficulties and be unhappy about this, as well as to obsessively perseverate on special interests?

Why are news outlets who’ve made their bones reporting on previous medical scandals ignoring the sterilization of these children? Whether they’re LGB, autistic, or caught up in social contagions because they self-diagnosed from a YouTube overdose in a vulnerable moment?

So glad this year’s almost over. Honestly, 2020 sucked. From the Chinese Virus, idiots breaking the rules during a pandemic, especially a certain far left cult that’s been around for years and coming out of the pedo closet whether it was fraud or not.

Friendships were ruined over political differences. One being heartbreaking, one leaking one of my DMs and is a traitor and one I cut ties with. Two of them were talented, but they wasted it by selling their souls and going woke.

I also unfollowed a ton of YouTubers and content creators I used to like who sold out and bent the knee in late May and early June, the latter being my worst month this year. One of them blocked me, but I won’t apologise for what I said about him being a sellout.

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 every MAJOR comic in New York City was doing NOTHING but 9/11 jokes and crushing.

Patrice O'Neal did a bit about how he kept buying cheap leather jackets because the Arab vendors were having an "I didn't do it" sale.

A Syrian comic named Hood would go onstage, announce that he would like to open his set by doing something in the name of ALLAH, and he'd open his jacket to reveal a DYNAMITE VEST strapped to his chest.

The joke KILLED, figuratively. And it showed me how comedy has the ability to take the power away from unimaginable torments for a few seconds at a time. It unites people who don't agree on an issue by pointing out universal truths we HAVE accepted on the issue.

Patrice's joke about Arabs feeling persecuted spoke honestly about the mood at the time. Hood's dynamite vest joke, however insane, played on a suspicion that nobody would ever admit to feeling today because they'd be called racist.

The news today from Washington signals the biggest victory in the field of #CollegeInPrison in decades. It’s a long time coming. This undoes the #94crimebill’s ban on #Pell Grants for incarcerated students. #PellRestoration #PELLYES
A thread.

Prior to the #94CrimeBill, college was common, even normal, in state and federal prisons across the country. The #Pell ban eviscerated college nearly

Since then, a small but growing number of privately funded programs helped keep the field alive. @BPIBard has been proud to be one of them, but we want to shout out our friends & fellow travelers at @MtTamCollege @HudsonLink & women in Bedford Hills who got so much of this going.

After years of advocacy, the critical moment was in 2015 when advocates convinced the Obama administration created Second Chance Pell, formally restoring college-in-prison to the CJR agenda. No one did more to make that happen than our allies @Vivian_Nixon_WW & @glennEmartin.

Just to say, there was one person in the federal government who carried this torch the whole way. That was our friend John Linton in the Dept of Ed, who we lost last year to pancreatic cancer. We love and miss him.

1, It's a shame that politicians, media & other misinformed fane seekers want to milk popularity through misinformation about Budiriro. This thread with facts and evidence will help ease & remove any doubt about who did what. Enough of this shared & crocodile tears

2, Firstly every council has a Development Control Department. Their job is simply to remove illegal structures. This is in the Urban Councils Act under Development Control Section. So if you build illegal structures the law forbids & the courts can judge in favour of council

3, The Budiriro homes are illegal structures as the housing cooperative sold land earmarked for a school & without any form or authorization. This is Events Housing Coop. They sold each stand for USD2,500 and pocketed the money. This is between 2017 & 2018, the buyers were misled

4, All in all @cohsunshinecity has close to 38 judgements which were over land invaded by housing cooperatives. This means thousands of homes are sitting on illegal land, illegally built meaning no approved plans. This means there is no wanted, sewer, roads and power

4, As it stands court applications were done in March 2017 & the courts took too long to order the immediate removal of these land barons. Judgement was pass in February 2019 & 9 months notice was issued to all sitting home owners to stop building & evacuate.

After a day of delivering shopping for and hampers with @merylyyc, I was dropping my daughter off at her dads for the week when I first got a call from a single mom that needed help.

Picture below is a truck full of hampers!

I answered the phone and explained the steps this person on the phone needed to do to apply for assistance. She told me she would head to the site right away.....and she did.

So this 🚨Emergency🚨 came in tonight. (See photo of email).

I immediately contacted her and asked her what she immediately needed. She explained that she needed to get out of the room she is sharing with her children & into a basement suite

She then said she wanted a meal or two so she could eat like a family with her kids for Christmas.

She asked if it was not too much trouble if we would give her kids (not her) something for Christmas. She was adamant that she get nothing because she didn’t think she was a good mom considering their circumstances. But if her kids could get something she would be very grateful.

I asked her if she could hold on for a moment while I grab some paper and a pen.

I went & grabbed the items when I heard a child in the background ask for a snack.

The mom started crying because she was trying to stretch the snacks & make them last.

I told her it would be ok.

honestly there has nothing been more flabbergasting than Democrats having faced down getting blown up / shot / kidnapped and then pretending like they have no power to do anything about it

It turns out it’s not that they didn’t care about their constituents, they’re just abject cowards who can’t even stand up for themselves in an ongoing emergency where the lack of consequences makes a second, third, fourth attack more likely????

“Ah ha, but let’s not ruin Biden’s first one hundred days”

A mob just tried to kill you??? Like, there’s bombs and stuff and a cop died???? Why the fuck do you think we’re on a normal schedule anymore!!!

Silicon Valley companies with soul-crushing moral cowardice built into their DNA have moved faster, *what is wrong with you*

The only thing fascists worship is power, or rather, the semblance of power. The only thing that sets them back is feeling like losers. You can’t play 4D chess with an ideology so one dimensional it isn’t actually an ideology

Earlier today, a group of anti-mask protestors did maskless shopping at the Beverly Connection Target in West L.A. After they entered, they got into a few verbal altercations with customers.

A shopper aimed a bottle of cleaning spray at the anti-maskers. He seemed to spray them with the cleaning liquid.

“It’s not a pandmic, it’s a plan-demic, it’s a scam-demic,” one of the anti-maskers said to a man who engaged with them for a few minutes.

Soon after, two LAPD officers entered the store, approached for crowd and spoke with them for a few minutes. The man who engaged with group earlier asked for them to be removed from the store.

The officers left a few minutes later without making arrests or giving citations that I know of.
