Breaking: Pope Francis Is Dead.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, has died at the age of 88 years at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.
Naija News reports that Pope Francis was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 17, 1936.

A brief statement from the Vatican on its 𝕏 handle disclosed that the Catholic leader died on Monday (today).

“Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta,” it read.

On Easter Sunday morning, shortly after 11:30 am at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis had a brief private meeting with the Vice President of the United States of America, James David Vance.

The Holy See Press Office gave news of the meeting and noted it lasted a few minutes and offered an opportunity to exchange Easter greetings.

Travelling to Italy with his family, Vance visited the Secretariat of State Saturday morning where he was welcomed by the Cardinal Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, together with Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations.

A cordial conversation took place, according to the Holy See Press Office, during which the common commitment to protect the right to religious freedom and freedom of conscience was renewed. There was also an exchange of views on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention focused on migrants, refugees and those in prison,” Vatican News reported.

During the afternoon of Good Friday, the United States Vice President with his wife and three children attended the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion in Saint Peter’s Basilica, presided over by Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches.

RULES TO A HAPPY, SMART & WISE LIFE....!!!

1. Speak Less, Listen More.

Wisdom: Listening sharpens understanding; silence guards your dignity. Words are powerful tools — the fewer, the better, if you intend them to matter.
Application: When you listen more, people reveal their true intentions. When you speak, weigh your words like a surgeon choosing his tools. Speak when your words can heal, uplift, or instruct.

2. Avoid Pointless Arguments.

Wisdom: Energy is finite. Spend it where it multiplies, not where it drains. Some debates are traps designed to rob you of your peace and reputation.
Application: Learn to smile and excuse yourself from verbal traps. Wise people win wars, not battles. Pick your conversations the way kings pick alliances.

3. Think Before You Speak.

Wisdom: Words are seeds. Once sown, they grow — whether into flowers or thorns.
Application: Practice the three-filter test: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? If it fails any, remain silent.

4. Practice Humility and Politeness.

Wisdom: Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. The polite person commands more than the arrogant ever will.
Application: Greet even those who despise you. Show grace to those who can do nothing for you. The seeds of kindness grow silently but fruitfully.

5. Master Emotional Discipline.

Wisdom: He who angers you, controls you. Emotions are natural, but they make terrible masters.
Application: Practice the pause. When emotions flare, pause, breathe, reflect, then respond with reason, not rage.

6. Keep Your Plans Private.

Wisdom: Success loves silence. The unborn idea is safest in the womb of your discretion.
Application: Share your victories, not your strategies. Let your results speak; let your silence confuse your critics.

7. Resist Self-Centered Conversations.

Wisdom: People care more about themselves than your story. If you wish to be memorable, make them feel important.
Application: Ask about others' journeys, listen intently, and respond thoughtfully. The less you talk about yourself, the more powerful your presence becomes.

8. Maintain Eye Contact & Confidence.

Wisdom: Confidence isn’t loud; it’s calm, direct, and unflinching.
Application: When speaking, fix your eyes on the listener with a relaxed gaze. Let your posture mirror your inner conviction.

9. Celebrate Your Uniqueness.

Wisdom: The world doesn’t reward replicas; it celebrates originals.
Application: Identify your strengths, embrace your flaws, and find your voice. Authenticity magnetizes the right people and repels the wrong ones.

10. Commit Fully or Don’t Begin.

Wisdom: Half-heartedness is the graveyard of greatness.
Application: Before starting, ask yourself, Will I finish this? Am I ready to sacrifice for it? If not, preserve your energy for a pursuit worthy of your all.

11. Silence is the Best Answer to H@ters.

Wisdom: Not every insult demands your defense.
Application: Treat criticism as a mirror. If it’s true, adjust. If it’s false, ignore. Do not dignify pettiness with a reply.

12. Train Your Mind to Think Critically.

Wisdom: The difference between mediocrity and mastery lies in perspective.
Application: Before believing anything, ask Why? and What if? Seek patterns, motives, and consequences in everything.

13. Avoid the Crowd Mentality.

Wisdom: The majority is often wrong, history proves it.
Application: Stand for truth, even if it means standing alone. Be bold enough to disagree respectfully when the crowd chants foolishness.

14. Dodge Drama & Manipulation.

Wisdom: A wise man never enters a battle where no prize exists.
Application: Don’t react to bait. Avoid circles where chaos is currency. Value your peace above fleeting vindication.

15. Ask Thoughtful, Insightful Questions.

Wisdom: Questions open doors answers cannot reach.
Application: When in conversation, ask ‘why’, ‘what led to that’, ‘how did you feel about it’ — it deepens connections and sharpens your wisdom.

16. Guard Your Time & Availability.

Wisdom: Over-availability breeds entitlement and disrespect.
Application: Be selectively accessible. Value your solitude, your time to reflect, learn, and recharge.

17. Stay Dynamic, Not Stagnant.

Wisdom: Change is the only constant. Evolve, or you’ll dissolve.
Application: Learn a new skill every season. Challenge your routines. Travel through books, ideas, and places. Comfort zones are graveyards.

18. Accept That Enigmatic People Are Both Loved and H@ted.

Wisdom: Mystery invites curiosity and criticism. The price of distinction is isolation from mediocrity.
Application: Don’t water yourself down for public comfort. Be kind, be wise, but never shrink to fit anyone’s fragile insecurities.

Final Thought:

A happy, smart, and wise life isn’t accidental — it’s intentional. It’s built through daily choices, disciplined thoughts, guarded emotions, and bold actions. The one who masters himself controls his world.

SAD

VDM uncovers documents of over 1000 under aged girls that were trafficked to Ivory Coast . This is scary , some of these young girls are kidnapped and trafficked , some are lied to and they accept to go . They stay and work for their masters in Ivory Coast .

The craziest thing is their documents are being signed by Government officials. Like who does that ? You authorize a young girl traveling out without her mother or father ?

Look at how VDM is fighting to bring them back . Yesterday was his birthday but he couldn’t even celebrate cus of this .

Moral lesson : We still have people who hate VDM ?

Ful'ani Terror and the Sultan's Silence: Hausa people never expect something good from you

Yesterday, the Sultan of Sokoto called those who speak out against the unending violence of Fulani bandits “social media terrorists.” Let that sink in.

We, the Hausa people, are being slaug'htered. And instead of condemning the killers, the Sultan attacks those demanding justice. This is not new — your silence has always been loud. And your hatred for the Hausa people is not recent either. History remembers.

In 1804, Ful'ani under danfodiyo attacked and k'illed the Muslim ruler of Kano Muhammadu Alwali. In 1805, they attacked the Emir of Zaria during prayer. All the Hausa emirs then were Muslims — still, they were slain or attacked. That legacy of betrayal continues today.

You did not condemn the Ful'ani who:

Burned a bus filled with 42 Hausa travelers in Sabon Birni.

Kidnapped 279 Hausa schoolgirls in Jangebe, Zamfara (2021).

Abducted over 300 Hausa Muslim students in Kankara (Dec 2020).

Kidnapped nearly 100 schoolchildren in Kuriga, Kaduna (March 2024).

Abducted 80 girls from Yauri and sold them as slaves.

Shot at worshippers during Jumu’ah in Sabon Birni.

Opened fire on Muslims praying Taraweeh in Zamfara.

Burned a mosque and hospital in Zamfara — just this week.

Slaughtered the Emir of Gobir and left his body to rot in the wild.

You never spoke. You never condemned. Not once.

Even when the Sultan of Gobir was killed after leaving a meeting you convened, you said nothing. No condolences. No outrage. Just silence.

Now, you have the audacity to label grieving voices — our voices — as “terrorists”? The only thing you protect is your legacy of hypocrisy and your tribe’s impunity.

Wallahi kowa ya sani
No ethnic group in the world has benefited more from Hausa generosity than the Fulani.
And no ethnic group has brought more suf'fering, bloo'd, and suffering to the Hausa than the Fulani.

We, the Hausa people, will not forget.
And we will not be silenced.
This is just the beginning.
In Ka ga dama ka mutu.
