Did anyone notice that Zohran Mamdani , the Mayor of New York, is adding weight, literarily, while: 1. Balancing the budget - they said it is IMPOSSIBLE... this guy did it in a few months of being in office... that tells you there was monumental corruption in NY before now 2. Being the lucky Mayor to bring the NBA Championship to the city since before he was born... 53 years... 3. Cutting crime rate by an unbelievable rate in a few months...21% decrease in homicide , others... burglaries (-19%), robberies (-18.1%), auto theft (-13%), and grand larceny (-12.4%). 4. Hosting World Cup games and giving away highly discounted tickets to New Yorkers.... $25 per ticket, instead of $800... 5. Courting Donald Trump , the Democrats' no. one enemy.... he tamed the guy during their first meeting, and many, including moi, were shocked.... How did this guy do it... Trump is Mamdani all the way.... All NY funding frozen released over $127 million released since Feb 2026... Chief MAGA loving ...

Rwanda is a small landlocked country in the middle of nowhere in central Africa . They are a classic example of leadership that works, a nation with purpose... Rwanda, a country with population (14.5 million) less than that of Lagos Nigeria , has a tourism industry that generates more than $600 million annually... that is over N820 billion naira... You see " Visit Rwanda " at the back of top clubs globally.... LA Clippers , Bayern Munich , PSG , Atletico , and about to bring Formula 1 home...Rwanda is the second most patronized country after South Africa for big global conference... Nigeria has hosted nothing in years... Why? Insecurity fueled by corruption at every level of our government ...   In Nigeria, we continue to battle insecurity because of corruption...a few people in government have refused to act because it is a means to continue to milk the country from appropriation for fighting insecurity....so the tourism industry cannot grow....   Can you imagine how man...

How I wish other African countries would do to France and the West what Burkina Faso and a few Francophone countries are doing to them... Burkina Faso is removing the neocolonialism framework that ensures the wealth of former colonies are tied to France. France determines the size of many Francophone countries' armies; they are mandated to purchase ALL their military wares from France; they control their currencies with fraudulent CFA franc now benchmarked to Euro; they install fake democratic leaders that mostly do their bidding and protect their interests, and mandate that their foreign reserve is domiciled in France and not any other country or entity as they wish... Macron reduced it to 50%, we hear it is no longer mandatory.... These are nonsense policies that subjugate sovereign African countries and make them lesser partners... When President Macron of France was confronted about this in a recent African summit by some African youths, he was sweating like a Christmas chi...

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk (EM) is doing extraordinary things. He just became the first trillionaire with the market launch of SpaceX today... It is a big bet for those who invested in the IPO... but as of today, EM is the first trillionaire humans have ever produced... the closest person, Larry Page , worth $294 billion, is miles away - about 20% of EM's worth... and richer than the next four richest people after him... He is richer than 170 countries globally... Musk lobbied Democrats to feed his electric vehicle (EV) ideas when republicans would not touch him with a ten-foot pole - they said his vision and ambition are a lost cause, EVs are a mirage, and they will never come to fruition ... he succeeded... EVs are now everywhere with unbelievable mileage.... He said it is possible to cut the cost of launching space rockets by reusing spent rocket barrels... some told him he is crazy....yes, he appears to be a crack head allegedly addicted to drugs... but his mind can ima...

The New York Times article released yesterday, which detailed a dark strategy to kill the attempt to open Congressional review of the Epstein case , has reopened the wounds of the pains and sufferings of many innocent minors and young women who were victims of Epstein and his accomplice for decades. Some of these people are rich and powerful. Some of them, as we are told, are religious people. This administration's position is that Epstein was solely responsible for abusing dozens of women... no other powerful people are responsible... The monarchy in England has been proactive by dealing with the black sheep among their rank who was implicated in the Epstein case... Time will tell if other rich and powerful will face justice eventually....Someone's name was mentioned over 38,000 times, yet we are told he is completely innocent... why? Perhaps because he sits on the most powerful seat in the world now... The question that remains in the minds of many onlookers like myself is,...

I have seen many social media posts lately comparing and asserting the unique place and sometimes the ingenious of our forefathers that reflects in our numbering, alphabet and language... These are good to know but needs to be made more believable... I think our Yoruba culture and language scientists need to do more... In the context of science components of Yoruba education that reflects in some Yoruba proverbs, we need the etymology of Yoruba proverbs to know how they originate... were they curated when Western education has already enlightened on us on certain facts and science or do they predate European influence? The English spoken before 11th century is gibberish compared to the English spoken today... almost completely different (REF: https://www.medievalists.net/2023/08/the-differences-between-old-english-middle-english-and-modern-english/ ). Yoruba language spoken two centuries ago is different from what we speak today..Those of us born in the 1960s and 1970s will reme...
