    The YAF’ air defenses succeeded in shooting down yet another #US [$32 million] “MQ-9” drone while carrying out hostile activities in the skies of #Sanaa Governorate with locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.

    This is the 2nd US drone shot down 24 hours and the 6th this month.

    The number of drones of this type shot down during the Battle of the Promised Victory and the Holy Jihad (since the beginning of the war in 2023) has risen to 21.

    The continued air raids and targeting of citizens, their property, and public and private facilities will not break the will of the Yemeni people.

    The #ZOF 🏴‍☠ (“iDF” aka iOF) terrorist organization admits to the elimination of one more of its vile terrorists and injury of five others, including three seriously, in a #Palestinian #Resistance operation in the northern #Gaza Strip earlier today:

    ☠ Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, a tracker in the “Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade”.

    According to an initial ZOF probe, at 12:58 p.m., a group of ZOF terrorists driving along a ZOF logistics road, close to an army encampment inside Gaza, came under fire by the brave Palestinian Resistance mujahideen, who had come out of a tunnel shaft, launched an RPG at the #Zionist army vehicle.

    Three ZOF terrorists of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit were wounded in the attack. Two of them, an officer and a combat medic, are listed in serious condition.

    A short while later, Zionist rescue forces led by the commander of the “Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade”, Omri Mashiah, reached the scene, along with trackers from the brigade.

    At 1:25 p.m., Palestinian mujahideen set off an explosive device on the side of a road, near the rescue forces, eliminating Alnasasra and wounding two other trackers, including one seriously.

    A total of 848 ZOF terrorists have been eliminated since 7th October 2023, according to ZOF data.

    Deadly US strikes hit Yemen fuel port used by Huthis
    https://jordantimes.com/news/region/deadly-us-strikes-hit-yemen-fuel-port-used-huthis

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->SANAA — The US military said it had destroyed a key Yemeni fuel port as it targets the country's Huthi rebels, who said Friday that 20 people had been killed in the strikes.
     
    The attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Huthis, the US military said.
     
    Washington has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on civilian shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
     
    The rebels began their attacks in late 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's army said Friday they had intercepted an incoming missile from Yemen.
     
    In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: "US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Huthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Huthi efforts to terrorise the entire region for over 10 years. 
     
    "The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Huthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen".
     
    Ships "have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Issa" despite Washington designating the rebels a foreign terrorist organisation earlier this year, the military command added, without specifying the source of the fuel.
     
    Huthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said the preliminary death toll stood at 20, including five paramedics.
     
    There were also "50 wounded workers and employees at the Ras Issa oil port, following the American aggression", he said on X.
     
    "The death toll is likely to rise as body parts are still being identified," he added.
     
    Fireball 
     
    The port lies along the west coast of Yemen on the Red Sea.
     
    In images broadcast early Friday by the rebels' Al-Masira channel, which it presented as the "first images of the US aggression" against the port, a fireball lit up the area around the ships, while thick columns of smoke rose above what appeared to be an ongoing blaze.
     
    "Civil defence rescue teams and paramedics are making every effort to search for and extract victims and extinguish the fire," said Alasbahi.
     
    The Huthis have regularly fired missiles and drones on Israel since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023 following an attack on Israel by Hamas militants.
     
    "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," Israel's army said Friday on Telegram, adding that aerial defence systems had been deployed "to intercept the threat".
     
    Huthi attacks have hampered shipping through the Suez Canal -- a vital route that normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic -- forcing many companies into a costly detour around the tip of southern Africa.
     
    The United States first began conducting strikes against the Huthis under president Joe Biden's administration, and his successor President Donald Trump has vowed that military action against the rebels would continue until they are no longer a threat to shipping.
     
    On Thursday evening, France's Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said a French frigate in the Red Sea destroyed a drone launched from Yemen.
     
    "Our armed forces continue their commitment to ensuring maritime freedom of movement," he said on X.
     
    US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told journalists Thursday that the Chinese satellite firm Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company was "directly supporting Iran-backed Huthi terrorist attacks on US interests".
     
    "Their actions -- and Beijing's support of the company, even after our private engagements with them -- is yet another example of China's empty claims to support peace," she said.
     

    Bruce did not initially provide details on the nature of the company's support for the rebels, but later referred to "a Chinese company providing satellite imagery to the Huthis."

    Hizbollah 'will not let anyone disarm' it, says chief
    https://jordantimes.com/news/region/hizbollah-will-not-let-anyone-disarm-it-says-chief

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hizbollah "will not let anyone disarm" it, the Lebanese group's leader Naim Qassem said Friday, as Washington presses Beirut to compel the Iran-backed movement to hand over its weapons.
     
    Hezbollah, long a dominant force in Lebanese politics, was left weakened by more than a year of hostilities with Israel sparked by the Gaza war, including an Israeli ground incursion and two months of heavy bombardment that decimated the group's leadership.
     
    The fighting was largely brought to an end by a November ceasefire, but not before the group's longtime leader and Qassem's predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike.
     
    "We will not let anyone disarm Hezbollah or disarm the resistance" against Israel, Qassem said in remarks on a Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel. 
     
    "We must cut this idea of disarmament from the dictionary."
     
    His comments came hours after another Hizbollah official said the group refused to discuss handing over its weapons unless Israel withdrew completely from south Lebanon and halted its "aggression".
     
    "It is not a question of disarming," Wafic Safa said in an interview with Hizbollah’s Al-Nur radio station.
     
    "What the president (Joseph Aoun) said in his inauguration speech is a defensive strategy." 
     
    Safa, believed by experts to belong to the movement's most radical faction, said Hezbollah had conveyed its position to Aoun, who on Tuesday said he sought "to make 2025 the year of restricting arms to the state".
     
    In his interview, Safa asked: "Wouldn't it be logical for Israel to first withdraw, then release the prisoners, then cease its aggression... and then we discuss a defensive strategy?
     
    "The defensive strategy is about thinking about how to protect Lebanon, not preparing for the party to hand over its weapons."
     
    Analysts have said that the once unthinkable idea of Hezbollah disarming may no longer be so, and may even be inevitable.
     
    Problem is Israel' 
     
    Under the November ceasefire, Israel was meant to withdraw all of its forces from south Lebanon.
     
    But despite the deal, its troops have remained at five south Lebanon positions that they deem "strategic".
     
    Israel has also continued to carry out near-daily strikes against Lebanon -- including on Friday -- saying it is targeting members of Hezbollah.
     
    Under the truce, Hizbollah was to pull its fighters back north of Lebanon's Litani River and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
     
    Lebanon's army has been deploying in the south as Israeli forces pulled back.
     
    Hezbollah says the ceasefire does not apply to the rest of Lebanon, despite being based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of non-state groups.
     
    Hizbollah was the only group to keep its weapons after Lebanon's 15-year civil war ended in 1990, saying that they were for "resistance" against Israel, which continued to occupy the south until 2000.
     
    US special envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus, who visited Beirut this month, said Washington continued to press Beirut "to fully fulfil the cessation of hostilities, and that includes disarming Hizbollah and all militias". 
     
    Safa said on Friday that both Hezbollah and the Lebanese army were respecting the terms of the truce.
     
    "The problem is Israel, which has not done so," he said.
     
    On Saturday, a source close to Hezbollah told AFP that the group had ceded to the Lebanese army around 190 of its 265 military positions identified south of the Litani.

    US to withdraw some 1,000 troops from Syria
    https://jordantimes.com/news/world/us-withdraw-some-1000-troops-syria

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->WASHINGTON — The United States will roughly halve the number of troops it has deployed in Syria to less than 1,000 in the coming months, the Pentagon said Friday.
     
    Washington has had troops in Syria for years as part of international efforts against the Daesh terror group, which rose out of the chaos of the country's civil war to seize swaths of territory there and in neighboring Iraq over a decade ago.
     
    The brutal extremists have since suffered major defeats in both countries, but still remain a threat.
     
    "Today the secretary of defense directed the consolidation of US forces in Syria... to select locations," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, without specifying the sites where this would take place.
     
    "This deliberate and conditions-based process will bring the US footprint in Syria down to less than 1,000 US forces in the coming months," he said.
     
    President Donald Trump has long been skeptical of Washington's presence in Syria, ordering the withdrawal of troops during his first term but ultimately leaving American forces in the country.
     
    As Islamist-led rebels pressed forward with a lightning offensive last December that ultimately overthrew Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, Trump said Washington should "NOT GET INVOLVED!"
     
    "Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT," Trump, then the president-elect, wrote on his Truth Social platform.
     
    Years of war against Daesh
     
    The 2014 onslaught by Daesh prompted a US-led air campaign in support of local ground forces -- the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi government units.
     
    Washington also deployed thousands of American personnel to advise and assist local forces, with US troops in some cases directly fighting the jihadists.
     
    After years of bloody warfare, Iraq's prime minister announced a final victory over IS in December 2017, while the SDF proclaimed the defeat of the group's "caliphate" in March 2019 after seizing its final bastion in Syria.
     
    But the extremists still have some fighters in the countryside of both countries, and US forces have long carried out periodic strikes and raids to help prevent the group's resurgence.
     
    Washington stepped up military action against Daesh in Syria in the wake of Assad's overthrow, though it has more recently shifted its focus to strikes targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have been attacking international shipping since late 2023.
     
    US forces in Iraq and Syria were repeatedly targeted by pro-Iran militants following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, but responded with heavy strikes on Tehran-linked targets, and the attacks largely subsided.
     
    Washington for years said it had some 900 military personnel in Syria as part of international efforts against Daesh, but the Pentagon announced in December 2024 that the number of US troops in the country had doubled to around 2,000 earlier in the year.
     
    While the United States is reducing its forces in Syria, Iraq has also sought an end to the US-led coalition's presence there, where Washington has said it has some 2,500 troops.
     
    The United States and Iraq have announced that the coalition would end its decade-long military mission in federal Iraq by the end of 2025, and by September 2026 in the autonomous Kurdistan region.

    Press TV: Deadly US strikes hit Yemen fuel port used by Huthis https://jordantimes.com/news/region/deadly-us-strikes-hit-yemen-fuel-port-used-huthis <!-- google_ad_section_start -->SANAA — The US military said it had destroyed a key Yemeni fuel port as it targets the country's Huthi rebels, who said Friday that 20 people had been killed in the strikes.   The attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Huthis, the US military said.   Washington has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on civilian shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.   The rebels began their attacks in late 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's army said Friday they had intercepted an incoming missile from Yemen.   In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: "US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Huthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Huthi efforts to terrorise the entire region for over 10 years.    "The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Huthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen".   Ships "have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Issa" despite Washington designating the rebels a foreign terrorist organisation earlier this year, the military command added, without specifying the source of the fuel.   Huthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said the preliminary death toll stood at 20, including five paramedics.   There were also "50 wounded workers and employees at the Ras Issa oil port, following the American aggression", he said on X.   "The death toll is likely to rise as body parts are still being identified," he added.   Fireball    The port lies along the west coast of Yemen on the Red Sea.   In images broadcast early Friday by the rebels' Al-Masira channel, which it presented as the "first images of the US aggression" against the port, a fireball lit up the area around the ships, while thick columns of smoke rose above what appeared to be an ongoing blaze.   "Civil defence rescue teams and paramedics are making every effort to search for and extract victims and extinguish the fire," said Alasbahi.   The Huthis have regularly fired missiles and drones on Israel since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023 following an attack on Israel by Hamas militants.   "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," Israel's army said Friday on Telegram, adding that aerial defence systems had been deployed "to intercept the threat".   Huthi attacks have hampered shipping through the Suez Canal -- a vital route that normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic -- forcing many companies into a costly detour around the tip of southern Africa.   The United States first began conducting strikes against the Huthis under president Joe Biden's administration, and his successor President Donald Trump has vowed that military action against the rebels would continue until they are no longer a threat to shipping.   On Thursday evening, France's Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said a French frigate in the Red Sea destroyed a drone launched from Yemen.   "Our armed forces continue their commitment to ensuring maritime freedom of movement," he said on X.   US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told journalists Thursday that the Chinese satellite firm Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company was "directly supporting Iran-backed Huthi terrorist attacks on US interests".   "Their actions -- and Beijing's support of the company, even after our private engagements with them -- is yet another example of China's empty claims to support peace," she said.   Bruce did not initially provide details on the nature of the company's support for the rebels, but later referred to "a Chinese company providing satellite imagery to the Huthis." <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  Hizbollah 'will not let anyone disarm' it, says chief https://jordantimes.com/news/region/hizbollah-will-not-let-anyone-disarm-it-says-chief <!-- google_ad_section_start -->BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hizbollah "will not let anyone disarm" it, the Lebanese group's leader Naim Qassem said Friday, as Washington presses Beirut to compel the Iran-backed movement to hand over its weapons.   Hezbollah, long a dominant force in Lebanese politics, was left weakened by more than a year of hostilities with Israel sparked by the Gaza war, including an Israeli ground incursion and two months of heavy bombardment that decimated the group's leadership.   The fighting was largely brought to an end by a November ceasefire, but not before the group's longtime leader and Qassem's predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike.   "We will not let anyone disarm Hezbollah or disarm the resistance" against Israel, Qassem said in remarks on a Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel.    "We must cut this idea of disarmament from the dictionary."   His comments came hours after another Hizbollah official said the group refused to discuss handing over its weapons unless Israel withdrew completely from south Lebanon and halted its "aggression".   "It is not a question of disarming," Wafic Safa said in an interview with Hizbollah’s Al-Nur radio station.   "What the president (Joseph Aoun) said in his inauguration speech is a defensive strategy."    Safa, believed by experts to belong to the movement's most radical faction, said Hezbollah had conveyed its position to Aoun, who on Tuesday said he sought "to make 2025 the year of restricting arms to the state".   In his interview, Safa asked: "Wouldn't it be logical for Israel to first withdraw, then release the prisoners, then cease its aggression... and then we discuss a defensive strategy?   "The defensive strategy is about thinking about how to protect Lebanon, not preparing for the party to hand over its weapons."   Analysts have said that the once unthinkable idea of Hezbollah disarming may no longer be so, and may even be inevitable.   Problem is Israel'    Under the November ceasefire, Israel was meant to withdraw all of its forces from south Lebanon.   But despite the deal, its troops have remained at five south Lebanon positions that they deem "strategic".   Israel has also continued to carry out near-daily strikes against Lebanon -- including on Friday -- saying it is targeting members of Hezbollah.   Under the truce, Hizbollah was to pull its fighters back north of Lebanon's Litani River and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.   Lebanon's army has been deploying in the south as Israeli forces pulled back.   Hezbollah says the ceasefire does not apply to the rest of Lebanon, despite being based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of non-state groups.   Hizbollah was the only group to keep its weapons after Lebanon's 15-year civil war ended in 1990, saying that they were for "resistance" against Israel, which continued to occupy the south until 2000.   US special envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus, who visited Beirut this month, said Washington continued to press Beirut "to fully fulfil the cessation of hostilities, and that includes disarming Hizbollah and all militias".    Safa said on Friday that both Hezbollah and the Lebanese army were respecting the terms of the truce.   "The problem is Israel, which has not done so," he said.   On Saturday, a source close to Hezbollah told AFP that the group had ceded to the Lebanese army around 190 of its 265 military positions identified south of the Litani. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  5yrs ago April 2020 What a strange world we live in Covid-19 ClownWorld Restrictions Lockdowns Masks US to withdraw some 1,000 troops from Syria https://jordantimes.com/news/world/us-withdraw-some-1000-troops-syria <!-- google_ad_section_start -->WASHINGTON — The United States will roughly halve the number of troops it has deployed in Syria to less than 1,000 in the coming months, the Pentagon said Friday.   Washington has had troops in Syria for years as part of international efforts against the Daesh terror group, which rose out of the chaos of the country's civil war to seize swaths of territory there and in neighboring Iraq over a decade ago.   The brutal extremists have since suffered major defeats in both countries, but still remain a threat.   "Today the secretary of defense directed the consolidation of US forces in Syria... to select locations," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, without specifying the sites where this would take place.   "This deliberate and conditions-based process will bring the US footprint in Syria down to less than 1,000 US forces in the coming months," he said.   President Donald Trump has long been skeptical of Washington's presence in Syria, ordering the withdrawal of troops during his first term but ultimately leaving American forces in the country.   As Islamist-led rebels pressed forward with a lightning offensive last December that ultimately overthrew Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, Trump said Washington should "NOT GET INVOLVED!"   "Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT," Trump, then the president-elect, wrote on his Truth Social platform.   Years of war against Daesh   The 2014 onslaught by Daesh prompted a US-led air campaign in support of local ground forces -- the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi government units.   Washington also deployed thousands of American personnel to advise and assist local forces, with US troops in some cases directly fighting the jihadists.   After years of bloody warfare, Iraq's prime minister announced a final victory over IS in December 2017, while the SDF proclaimed the defeat of the group's "caliphate" in March 2019 after seizing its final bastion in Syria.   But the extremists still have some fighters in the countryside of both countries, and US forces have long carried out periodic strikes and raids to help prevent the group's resurgence.   Washington stepped up military action against Daesh in Syria in the wake of Assad's overthrow, though it has more recently shifted its focus to strikes targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have been attacking international shipping since late 2023.   US forces in Iraq and Syria were repeatedly targeted by pro-Iran militants following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, but responded with heavy strikes on Tehran-linked targets, and the attacks largely subsided.   Washington for years said it had some 900 military personnel in Syria as part of international efforts against Daesh, but the Pentagon announced in December 2024 that the number of US troops in the country had doubled to around 2,000 earlier in the year.   While the United States is reducing its forces in Syria, Iraq has also sought an end to the US-led coalition's presence there, where Washington has said it has some 2,500 troops.   The United States and Iraq have announced that the coalition would end its decade-long military mission in federal Iraq by the end of 2025, and by September 2026 in the autonomous Kurdistan region. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  A few minutes ago, the Russian Defense Ministry published unique footage of the destruction of another American multiple launch rocket system 'HIMARS'.

  • Join the Army, Make Ala Igbo Proud! — Igwe Iweka to Southeast Youths
    The Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and the traditional ruler of Obosi, Igwe Chidubem Iweka, has called on young people across the Southeast to take advantage of the ongoing Nigerian Army recruitment exercise.
    Speaking during a sensitization event held at the Government House in Awka, organized by the Army Headquarters Recruitment Team, Igwe Iweka emphasized the importance of youth participation in national security institutions. He expressed concern that many Southeastern youths often ignore these opportunities, leading to underrepresentation in key national sectors.
    He pointed out that this lack of participation contributes to the marginalization of the Igbo people, as recruitment slots meant for the region are frequently left vacant and filled by others.
    Igwe Iweka encouraged the youth not to be discouraged by fear or past experiences of marginalization, urging them instead to rise, get involved, and take their rightful place in shaping the future of Nigeria.

  • 7 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU BROKE FASTER THAN VILLAGE PEOPLE

    Forget jazz, forget enemies from the village—some of you are going broke at lightning speed, and it’s not because of witchcraft. Your own lifestyle is the real problem!

    If you're always wondering "Who is eating my money?"—relax, Oga. The answer is you.

    BRUTAL THREAD:

    1. CHASING EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE

    You think you're James Bond, moving from one fine girl to another, sponsoring their hair, nails, and data? Brother, you are your own Yahoo boy.

    One babe says “I need urgent 2K”—you send.

    Another one says “My rent is due”—you pay.

    Next thing, your account balance is calling for GoFundMe.

    Meanwhile, the same girls are in group chats laughing at you: “This guy dey try sha.”

    Solution: Stop being an ATM with no PIN code. Focus on one woman or yourself first.

    2. LIVING LIKE A BIG BOY WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS SHOUTING HELP

    Your salary is 50K, but you're in clubs ordering Hennessy like Davido. You don’t even have a car, but you're buying drinks for strangers—WHO SENT YOU?

    Rich men are saving, you are spraying money.

    Dangote is investing, you are doing “Odogwu” at the bar.

    Elon Musk is buying companies, you are buying bottles for slay queens who don’t know your surname.

    When the landlord comes for rent, you’ll start saying “Boss, abeg, things hard.”

    Solution: Cut down on fake luxury. Even Jeff Bezos wears simple T-shirts. Be wise.

    3. SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY LIKE CBN

    Your uncle calls: “We need money for burial.”
    Your aunt calls: “No food in the house.”
    Your younger brother: “School fees.”

    Now your account is empty, but when you need help? Nobody picks your call.

    Oga, you are not the Minister of Finance. Even government doesn’t share free money like you do!

    Solution: Learn to say NO sometimes! Help when you can, but don’t let family turn you into their personal budget.

    4. ALWAYS BUYING THE LATEST PHONE TO IMPRESS WHO?

    Last month, you were using iPhone 12.
    This month, you saw iPhone 15 Pro Max and sold your kidney to buy it.
    Next month, iPhone 16 Ultra Mega Max will drop—what will you sell next? Your destiny?

    Meanwhile, the person you’re trying to impress is using Tecno Pop 5 and doesn’t care.

    Solution: If your current phone is working, rest. Your future is more important than “Dynamic Island.”

    5. FALLING FOR EVERY FAKE INVESTMENT SCHEME

    They told you "Invest 50K, get 500K in 2 days."

    You ran like Bolt, deposited your money.

    Now, they’ve blocked you, and you’re writing epistles on Facebook: “Dear Nigerians, beware of fraudsters!”

    Oga, they didn’t scam you, you scammed yourself!

    Any investment that sounds like magic money is a Ponzi scheme in disguise.

    Solution: If you don’t understand the business, don’t put your money there. Learn to invest wisely!

    6. GOING BROKE JUST TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

    Your house rent is due, but you're buying designer shoes to take pictures for Instagram. Who told you “likes and comments” can pay rent?

    You posted “Soft life only.”

    But in real life, you’re trekking and borrowing money for food.

    If your phone falls, you’ll cry because you can’t afford to fix it.

    Solution: Stop forming fake rich life. Invest first, flex later.

    7. BEING TOO LAZY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

    You sit at home, scrolling Facebook from morning till night, complaining: “No job, Nigeria is hard.”

    Meanwhile, opportunities are passing you by! Are you expecting an angel to drop money from the sky?

    People are making money online—you are watching TikTok videos all day.

    People are learning skills—you are arguing about football.

    People are opening businesses—you are waiting for your rich uncle to die so you can inherit land.

    Solution: Get up and hustle! Even the Bible says “A lazy man shall not eat.”

    BOTTOM LINE:

    If you're always broke, stop blaming village people. Your habits are the real witchcraft!

    Live within your means.

    Invest before you flex.

    Stop impressing people who don’t care.

    Make smart financial decisions.

    If this post hit you hard, don’t cry. Just change your ways!

  • Good morning my beloved brethren. I trust you are doing great , Praise God!

    TODAY'S WORD OF GOD:

    "And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. Jeremiah 2:7"

    Familiarity breeds contempt. The children of Israel started off well with God when they entered the Promised Land, but along the way, they drifted and defiled themselves.
    They were a holy nation onto God and were expected to make holiness their lifestyle.

    Dear beloved, the day you got born again, you become a holy nation and a peculiar people onto God (1 Peter 2:9).
    You are expected to live your life like our Lord Jesus Christ.
    Don't ever desire the things of the world nor the habits or character of the ungodly; if you do, you will drift into their lifestyle and defile yourself, and God will not be happy with you.
    If you find yourself in that mess already, please be brave to repent, or else you will lose your heritage or inheritance in Christ.
    May the Lord God Almighty guide and protect us to live a holy life in His Promised Land in Jesus Christ name.
    SHALOM!

  • YOU CAN TURN YOUR PARTNER INTO A MONSTER (Part 1)

    Let’s be real — many people didn’t start out as bitter, withdrawn, promiscuous, stingy, alcoholic or spiritually cold individuals.

    They became that way… because of the kind of partner they ended up with.

    Now, let’s be clear: no one has a valid excuse for losing their values or becoming a worse version of themselves.

    But experience has shown that the influence of a spouse or dating partner can either MAKE you or BREAK you.

    A faithful husband can slip into adultery when he’s been repeatedly starved of intimacy by his wife.

    A once joyful and vibrant person can become moody and depressed when constantly criticized or neglected by their partner.

    A once generous lady can become a very stingy woman if he dates or marries a selfish and inconsiderate man.

    A once vision and purpose driven man can become irresponsible and useless if he marries a vision killer and unsupportive wife.

    A once passionate and firebranded sister can become a shadow of herself if she entangles herself with an unspiritual and ungodly man.

    So here are two questions:

    1. Is your partner making you better or slowly destroying you?
    2. Are you helping your partner grow, or are you the reason they’re getting worse?

    To be continued…….. (part 2 dropping by 11:30am today). Stay tuned

  • I will never forgive 2go, why should I? How? Not after what 2go did to me.

    I was 19 years old then, using 2go like others. I had connected with one Presh452. Peeping through my Nokia 2626, I could see a beautiful DP. Yes, I like fine fine ihe rị mma. Who no like better thing? Ị na-alụ nwaanyị jọrọ njọ a ga-ebere gị ya ego?

    The connection began from chatting to exchange of phone number. Then, night calls. Then, midnight by 12:00 AM to 5:00AM you'd call and speak with anyone free of charge. When that country was still called Nigeria before it turned to Bongo.

    Awwww. Midnight, innocent calls — innocent conversation — innocent "I love you...I love you too" raining like a heavy downpour in Mbanefo Hostel. Boys were calling their sweethearts, feeling loved and to be loved. Then I would be in the reading room, Presh452 would call. She's no longer Presh452 but Precious.

    When the call enters, I'd leave my books to speak with Pre Pre. Awww. Love Nwantịntị. Precious is a beautiful girl. Queen of Persia. Bianca is learning beauty from her. Precious is as beautiful as the Arab Queens. In fact, through 2go, she sent me beautiful pictures.

    "This is you?"

    She'd say yes.

    Awwww. Her beauty has turned into a butterfly, flying inside my stomach, getting out through my oesophagus, connecting to my alimentary canal. Oh, canal man cannot understand the things of the spirit.

    "I can't wait to see you in Aba," my sweet Precious would say.

    "I can't wait to see you too," a lost Ọnụkwube would reply.

    Midnight calls back to back. Precious had told me number of children she wanted. She was going for 6, I needed just 2. In fact, if possible, 1. But 2 is okay. She didn't want 2 children, after all her father was so rich and had properties in Aba with a fleet of car. In fact, her elder brother was in Europe where he was a billionaire in Euros. So, money no be problem. "Let's have 6 children, my family are rich."

    Everything was on her head. I wasn't thinking of any children. She was already planning 6 kids. With who? But you know, when the butterfy flaps its wings in your stomach, you seem to forget some yarning of dust, and dwell on the flow. The flow was flowing.

    However, I had gone to the University of Port Harcourt to meet with Professor Nọlue Emenanjọ. Even though I was quite young, I had started meeting professors earlier — traveling to different universities just to meet those men I had read from books. I connected with them on personal level.

    The idea was, after going to Uniport, I would branch in Aba to meet my first lady. The most beautiful woman on earth, 2go gave me. We had planned going to cinema together, eat at expensive restaurant, discuss about the future and our love life. So sweet!

    She would send me more pictures.

    "Are these your pictures?"

    "Yes."

    Chai. The girl had a pot of beauty broken on her head, and beauty drenched her body, wet it like a fowl beaten by rain. Why can't Precious compete as Miss Universe?

    I had left Port Harcourt on Thursday morning. I first left Chọba for Rumuola by Aba Road. Then, Obigbo was still manageable. I plied the road by jumping on ndị Aka n'elu motor. Through Port Harcourt Road, we got to Aba.

    She asked me to wait for her at Tonimas. Even though I had to meet her, I was a confirm guy man to stay at the opposite direction and observe my environment unto security-wise.

    I stayed behind a parked bus to place a call, someone picked, and was approaching me.

    "I am here."

    "No. You are not here. I am not seeing you."

    "Look at me, I am here."

    Mbanụnụ.

    Something was standing before me quite alright, but the thing was not a human being. Not my Precious whom I had spent my sleepless nights calling on nightcall. It cannot be my princess, my asampetecious asampete whose beauty was mesmerizing Ọbama then.

    I don't want to abuse what God has created. But it seems that after God was done creating some people, they recreated themselves against God's image. Because, how can someone's eyes be bigger than ikwiikwii? Her eyes socketed inside like that of a mọnkey. Imi pịahụ ya ka imi enwe. The sponge okpu n'isi was like that of a mad woman in Eke Imeọha. Her teeth stood erect like amụ ịnyịnya.

    Ọnụkwube ntọọọ. Ị chụgburu onwe gị na nwaanyị. Why do bad things keep happening to good people? My mates were using 2go and connecting with ụmụnwa, why did my own 2go connect with kpalakwukwu? Other people's snares hunted living things, mine caught non-living things.

    I took a deep breath. Then asked like a conquered wrestler, "are you Precious?"

    She said yes, without remorse. She wasn't even remorseful that she sold me adaka in place of enwe. I was praying, kabbashing so that people who knew me wouldn't see me with this kind of usungu. The kind akpoola she wore was sounding on the ground "ma i kelere m, ma i keleghị m, I don't care."

    I had made a promise, I must fullfil it. I had promised we would go on date at Crunches located then at Ikot Ekpene Road. But, how would I be looking at this person's face? Impossible. I am not hungry. Even if I am, I'll not eat. You cannot ponzi me and expect me to be happy. Elu na ala ekwela ngwere gbaa ajị.

    As we were walking, she was doing the talking, and replying herself. Me Wey be vibe turned deaf. Ogbi. She was ranting how rich her father was. How rich her brother was. Shouting as if I was Buubu who had ear problems and Ee Pee See spend billions to treat it.

    Keke was coming with speed, this girl was walking like her father owned the road. The Keke almost hit her, I quickly held her backward before ikuku kẹkẹ eburu ya. I practically saved her from being crushed by the Keke.

    Guess what she did?

    She went to fight the Keke man. Hitting her open palm on her mouth. "Wuuuuuuuuuuu. If you try me, you will sleep in cell. I.d.i.ot, do you know who my father is?"

    I was a gentleman to the core. I was pleading with the Keke man to forgive. I saw what happened. She was at fault. Everyone in the Keke was telling her she was at fault. Aunty was busy insulting them.

    The Keke man wasn't responding to her but just looking at me with a pity.

    "Fine boy like you, kee ihe i ji udele a eme? See the kind thing you dey Waka for road with."

    Na wetin man do man.

    You cannot win Aba men with bad mouth. The man was pitying me. I was trying to manage the fact that I was lied to, the same person was embarrassing herself. What was remaining was to remove her clothes and fight. So, na onye ara I came to Aba to see? 2go— tọnda faya you!

    No problem. What I would do was on my mind. We got to the restaurant. I asked her to order. She placed her order. I refused to order anything. I lost appetite. What if I eat anything, someone who knows me walks in. My mama fit disown me. I cannot.

    Eventually, we stepped out of the restaurant. She was telling me how her father locked her teacher for one week because the teacher punished her in school.

    She was saying those things..

    Guess what I did?

    I took her by surprise and ran to the other side of the road, with the back of my legs touching back of my ears. Then, I jumped into Keke like a thief a na-achụ ọsọ.

    "Peace Park, Peace Park!"

    "Ọga na #100," the Keke man said, delaying me.

    "Go! Go! I will give you 200 naira. Just go."

    The Keke guy moved, the girl crossed the road, pursuing me and Keke. She had long leg oo. Chasing us oo! Thank God there was no traffic.

    I got to Peace Mark, paid the Keke guy 200 naira. Big money those days. I bought my ticket and bought a newspaper I used to cover the other side — reading newspaper I didn't budget for — in case my Aba Precious abata.

    The vehicle quickly filled up, we drove to Nsụka.

    When I got to Nsụka, she texted me:

    "Because I am not beautiful, that's why you treated me like that..."

    I replied: "since you are not proud of yourself— then you were sending me other people's pictures as yours — why should I be proud of you?"

    She paused, I paused, 2go paused; all of us paused!
    I will never forgive 2go, why should I? How? Not after what 2go did to me. I was 19 years old then, using 2go like others. I had connected with one Presh452. Peeping through my Nokia 2626, I could see a beautiful DP. Yes, I like fine fine ihe rị mma. Who no like better thing? Ị na-alụ nwaanyị jọrọ njọ a ga-ebere gị ya ego?

  • FISCAL DISCIPLINE, REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEV.- GOV UMO ENO

    ... as Senate President applauds his leadership style

    Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has emphasized on the need for states and local governments to embrace fiscal discipline and revenue diversification to achieve sustainable development.

    The Governor stated this while delivering a public lecture on the theme: "Leading Economic Development in Sub-Nationals of the Nigerian Federation: The ARISE Agenda," at the University of Uyo.

    He noted that the ARISE Agenda was borne out of the desire to grow the economy while developing abundant human resources in the State, focuses on eight lofty goals including; Poverty reduction, Job creation, Price stability,sustainable economic growth, improved standard of living, environmental sustainability, highly educated, healthy and skilled people, and the Security of lives and property

    He further explained that the ARISE Agenda, a flagship economic blueprint that guides his administration's development efforts, is an acronym for ‘five-group aspirations’: Agricultural Revolution, Tourism Development and Environmental Management; Rural Development, Women & Youth Empowerment; Infrastructural Maintenance and Advancement; Security Management, Sound Educational and Health Sector Management; and Economic, Industrial and Social Advancement

    The Governor who holds a Doctorate degree in Public Administration from the University, said that since the inception of his administration, wastages in government have been minimized, and the government is determined to expand its revenue base by digitalization of government operations.

    "Soon, we will launch AKWAGIS, a digital platform where we will be collecting ground rent, which as we speak is in the region of N16 billion. Through this platform, we will be able to seamlessly offer Certificates of Occupancy, which would help attract businesses to our State.

    "We are also investing heavily in the tourism sector that has been variously described as the “New Black Gold.” From agricultural tourism, through our Ibom Model Farm, to medical tourism, with our planned Ibom International Medical Centre - a 200-bed hospital that will come with 24 different departments under one roof. This hospital, once completed, will compare to any such facility anywhere in the world.

    "The ARISE Resort, which we hope to commission in the first half of this year, the International Conference Centre, the Ibom Tropicana Hotel, which we are poised to complete will signpost our ascendancy as the tourism hub of our nation and bring in billions of Naira in revenue.

    " We remain committed to the growth and expansion of Ibom Air and work is ongoing in the Aviation Village, as part of our investments in the aviation eco- system.

    "We are committed to the human capital development of our people and this has been acknowledged by the Federal Government and the World Bank, leading to the launch two days ago, of the Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON.

    "We have achieved a success rate of 3.5% out of school children, against the national average of 25.6% - a truly remarkable feat.

    "We are positioning our State for growth beyond oil by these strategic investments in tourism and human capital development," he said.

    The Governor said to ensure the success of economic development in sub-nationals, policymakers must develop action plans before implementation, strengthen governance and institutional capacity, enhance internally generated revenue (IGR) to reduce reliance on federal allocations, promote regional economic cooperation and trade among states, encourage private sector-led development through investment incentives, and focus on collaboration rather than conflicts.

    He appreciated the crafters of the ARISE Agenda, and expressed his determination to go the extra mile to further development in the State, while urging policymakers, corporate bodies, the academia, and citizens to join hands with him in the journey towards a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally competitive sub-national economy.

    In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio applauded the Governor for his inclusive leadership disposition which according to him has engendered unprecedented peace and security in the State.

    Senator Akpabio who was represented by Dr. Saviour Enyiekere, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), also commended the Governor for his collaboration with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government, and assured of the support of the All Progressives Congress in the State to ensure the Governor's second term victory in 2027.

    Chairman of the Occasion, Emeritus Prof. Akpan Ekpo, the University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo and the Dean of the Host Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Christopher Ekong as well as Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Prof. Peter Esuh appreciated the Governor for accepting to share his thoughts through the public lecture, stressing that the ARISE Agenda is a comprehensive document that can drive development in the State and other sub-nationals.

    The event which attracted eminent personalities within and outside the State, had as discussants, Prof. Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice - Chancellor, Ignatius Aguru University of Education, Rivers State, and Prof. Ebebe Ukpong, a development expert and former Commissioner in the State.

  • Men of the Himba tribe in Namibia and Angola rocking their long plaited hairstyle known as Ondatu.
    The Himba people are an indigenous tribe in northern Namibia and parts of Angola, known for their unique cultural practices and traditional appearance. Himba men are often recognized for their distinctive hairstyles, which hold cultural and spiritual significance

    Himba people, including men, apply a mixture of otjize (a blend of butterfat and ochre) to their hair, which gives it a distinctive red color and helps to protect it from the harsh desert environment

    Hairstyles among the Himba people are not just aesthetically pleasing but also carry cultural and spiritual meaning, often signifying status, age, or marital status
