Pork has three religions waging war against it and it’s still the most consumed meat in the world.
No one can dim your light if you are the best.

This is Abdullahi Ibrahim, 78 — a Nigerian Fulani Muslim who settled in Bokkos, Plateau State over 30 years ago. Today, he says his Christian neighbors, the Ron people, are his only family.
On April 2, 2025, when armed militants speaking his own dialect attacked his village of Hurti, he realized they were sparing Muslim homes.
He refused to be spared.
He fell to his knees before the gunmen, hands raised, and begged for the lives of the women, children and elderly running toward him.
He was threatened with death. He didn't move. The attackers left.
50+ people sheltering in his house lived. 46 others who couldn't reach him were killed and buried in a mass grave that same night.
Pray for peacemakers like Ibrahim. Pray for the victims of terror. And pray that the perpetrators of these horrific crimes will either repent — or be brought to justice.

La Ingeniería de Software ha mutado a Ingeniería de Producto y aquel ingeniero que no disfrute definiendo, iterando, diseñando, probando funcionalidades, entendiendo problemas y relacionándose con usuarios no tiene futuro.
Okay so I’m starting to think that the Software testers with a keen eye for product are going to be the most important roles in software teams. If startups still need more than 3 engineers now, it’s hard to imagine them needing that in 6 months. Of course, this all depends on having that one technical genius. Large teams are a bottleneck now. Waiting for design, waiting for frontend or mobile, that’s a bottleneck. The gig is up. Spend your salaries wisely.

This was a controversial thread last year. We now see some sense in it.
Ex United players would be the absolute worst set of people to own this club. We would be better off giving the club to Liverpool for free.
💥 Paul Scholes backs David Beckham to BUY Man Utd but Nicky Butt reveals the ONE problem
Scholes: “Beckham-led consortium is the only way out. If he has the wealth & wants it, why not? He’d sit in background.”
Butt: “Biggest problem? Glazers value United at £8 BILLION now. It’s NOT worth that, no UCL, commercial down, squad value down.”
Beckham open to being face of a takeover consortium.

Four days before the famous 9/11 tragedy, religious crisis erupted in Jos, Nigeria. Close to 2,000 people were killed in the span of 4 days with around 50,000 persons displaced. I’d be surprised if a third of Nigeria’s population are aware of this.
Africans everywhere are sympathising with and remembering 9/11, and they understand memory's importance in statecraft.
It is when it comes to other Africans remembering the injustice in their own countries that they start talking about "victimhood" & "that was in the past".
Somehow, even the sacred, human act of memory remains colonised—permanently centred on the West. It is as though the Global South is denied the dignity of its own grief, always secondary to the comfort of the Empire.
This is, by far, the hardest election to call and it would be extremely foolish for anyone to think they have it in the bag. I still feel like there’s a lot of people undecided on who or whether they’ll vote.

BREAKING: Another 5 Christians killed in overnight attacks near Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo's compound in central Nigeria
Sources say armed men shouting “Allahu’Akbar” (God is great in Arabic) attacked a civilian watchpost in Sabon Angwa, about 1 mile from Dachomo's church, at 7pm Thursday. 4 local guards were killed.
While bodies were still at the scene, another attack early Friday in Rakung — 600m from the church — killed 1 resident. Unclear if Rev. Dachomo was targeted.
The attack comes days after 7 people were killed in Gyero, Gyel, on the outskirts of Jos. #Plateau #BarkinLadi

Too many organizations are using the suffering of persecuted Christians in Nigeria to raise money while doing little or nothing to actually help victims on the ground.
Petitions, reports, and awareness campaigns are not the same as saving lives.
Before donating, ask one simple question:
“What are you ACTUALLY doing to help persecuted Christians on the ground?”
Demand transparency, measurable results, and real action. Persecuted Christians need more than publicity. They need protection, medical care, food, shelter, and people willing to stand with them.
Donors deserve accountability. Victims deserve action.

“JIBWIS disassociated from the guy in the video and handed him over to the police”
What of all the other acts of JIBWIS historically? Can they dissociate from that too? The Niki Tobi Commision said they lit the match that led to the riots in Plateau in 2001
Can they dissociate from that?

VIDEO NEWS: JIBWIS Chairman Demands Arrest, Probe of Man in Group’s Uniform Over Threat to Attack Enugu
JIBWIS National Chairman, Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, has called on the DSS, police and other security agencies to investigate a viral video showing a man in the organisation’s First Aid Group uniform calling for AK-47 rifles to attack Enugu on Sunday.
Sheikh Bala Lau has condemned the threats, distanced JIBWIS from the statements and urged authorities to identify those involved and bring anyone found culpable to justice.

These are the followers of Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, the radical Jos-based cleric who was shockingly feted by northern Nigerian governors at the August Kano mass wedding, and proclaims marginalizing Christians.
One of the big inspirations for militants in the Middle Belt.
This is an Islamist terrorist group in Northern Nigeria openly doing a training exercise and publicly singing that:
He should be given AK47 guns
So that he will go to Enugu
The land of the infidels
On Sunday when they are worshiping
He would then open fire
So that he can klll the infidels
He asks again to be given AK47
So that he also can go to Jos
And klll more infidels.
Pls share this for @OfficialDSSNG @PoliceNG and all relevant authorities to act promptly on this matter.
He’s a common LGA chairman in faraway Kaduna. Nobody in Lagos knows him, at least not yet but LGA chairmen have a knack for rising into political prominence. People like Samuel Ortom (governor, minister), Ekeremadu (senator), Nyesom Wike (governor, minister), George Akume ( governor, senator, minister, SGF) & Ganduje (governor, ruling party chairman). There’s Ahmed ALIYU, Dikko Radda & Caleb Mutfwang; current serving governors that were once LGA chairmen. There are many more. In Kaduna, where this man is allegedly an LGA chairman, there’s Senator Hunkuyi who went from chairman to lawmaker.
Nigerians from all over Nigeria need to make things like this their business. These extremists occupy key positions of power. They influence key policy & security decisions, they control budgets running into billions of Naira. We need to simply care beyond the noise on X and we need to decide whether we want to be in a situation where we can’t influence the kind of people that control the trajectory of our shared destiny; because really, Shehu Buba can become a senator whether the English Alhaji likes it or not. It’s not up to him but he has to accept that the former “common” caretaker chairman of Toro local government had such a successful political career that he was put in charge of Nigeria’s senate committee on National security & intelligence. National i.e not just Toro or Bauchi. National as in Niger, Benue, Oyo & Enugu whether they like it or not.
We really really need to have a rethink.
