2011 by @lindseyhilsum:
"Shi’a Muslims...make up the majority of the population, probably outnumbering Sunnis two to one. Yet the Royal family is Sunni, and Shi’as face discrimination. (con't)
channel4.com/news/bahrain-i…
8/ Shi’a are "not trusted to defend the country, for fear they might be close to Shi’a Iran🇮🇷, so the government drafts in Pakistanis🇵🇰 and other Sunnis to serve in the army – a cause of huge resentment." (one more...)
9/ Reminder:
"The US Fifth fleet🇺🇸 is based at Juffair, near the capital, Manama, with command and control of all US naval vessels operating in Middle Eastern waters. It’s an integral part of US military strategy in the Middle East." /end

@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 1/ I cast my vote for George Birnbaum.
"After having founded his university's [FL Institute of Technology] chapter of College Republicans & volunteering on several Congressional campaigns Birnbaum took his 1st paid position in a political campaign in 1992
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bi…
@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 2/ … signing onto Ohio Republican Congressman Bob McEwen’s reelection campaign. In the years following, he worked on more congressional races, including campaigns in North Carolina, Florida and Virginia." (more...)
@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 3/ After the 1998 cycle, Birnbaum consulted for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign. Birnbaum served as Netanyahu’s chief of staff for a year and a half. "In 2003, Birnbaum went into partnership with American conservative political consultant Arthur Finkelstein." (more..)

(1/3) h/t @OldGrunt0351
"Italy🇮🇹 is a particularly important location for Pyongyang🇰🇵, given that Rome hosts the UN’s World Food Program🇺🇳. North Korea🇰🇵 suffered famines in the 1990s and continues to face widespread malnourishment to this day. (con't)
(2/3) In the past, the embassy is also believed to have handled shipments of Italian🇮🇹 luxury goods – ranging from ice-cream and fresh fish to marble interior decorations – for the Kim🇰🇵 family." (more...)
(3/3) "[North Korean🇰🇵] Diplomats have defected from embassies including those in Egypt🇪🇬, Thailand🇹🇭, the UK🇬🇧, Zambia🇿🇲 and even UN organizations🇺🇳." /end

1/ Op-Ed author: "Henry Olsen is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of 'The Working Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism'”
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ Olsen opens his rebuttal against Romney's op-ed in praise of character:
"Let’s start with the article’s premise that President Trump’s character is more important than his accomplishments or principles. Most Republicans simply don’t accept this argument."🙄
3/ Basically this senior fellow at the *Ethics* and Public Policy Center (👋waves to Howard Dahl, Leonard Leo and Ed Whelan, ) is arguing that public policy has no need for *ethics.*🤔 #IOKIYAR GOP should be renamed MWORH (my way or the highway) or ZT (zero tolerance). /end

Between @NairaBET, @PolarisBankLtd & @officialEFCC.

So we (@NairaBET) have this account we keep at Polaris. It’s where we save money to pay salaries at the end of the month.

After paying salaries, we grow it to about N40m so we can meet the following month’s payroll.

#thread
We decided to pay December salary before Christmas. Our plan was to pay annual bonus (half of monthly salary) on the 31st.

At the point of making the transfer, it failed. We tried multiple times and it kept failing. So we contacted the bank.

That was when the saga started.
Polaris Bank told us there was a demand by EFCC that a PND (post no debit) be placed on our account. We discovered that it was placed about two weeks earlier.

So we asked our account officer what to do. He said he wasn’t sure. He asked if I knew anyone at EFCC so I could know.

Keep seeing this ‘No Arrest No Prosecution’ thing, by people who don’t really care for the truth. One of biggest myths of 2018. In every one of these States people have been arrested & are being prosecuted. One example: Zamfara, 117 arrests: google.com/amp/s/www.vang…

A #Thread
I think the starting point for commentary like this is to say that no death of any Nigerian at the hands of bandits & criminals is acceptable or justifiable. Even a single death is one too many. And one of the primary responsibilities of any Govt is security. That’s not in doubt.
So, this matter of ‘No Arrests No Prosecutions.’ It’s very far from true. The simplest of Google searches puts the lie to it.Also the Police regularly put out statements on large-scale arrests. I’ll share more links as part of this thread. This from Kaduna google.com/amp/s/punchng.…

"God, I want my future back." Those were the words I whispered to God two weeks ago, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. #Thread #Health #Life
In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go. So, I couldn't plan and I couldn't project forward.
Things like traveling or dating went out of the window. I was stuck on finding a solution to my health challenge. My tests are still ongoing. I'm still seeing doctors, but we think we now know what's wrong. And so, I am hopeful.

Rudy changing Trump’s story & defense strategy...
Cohen now simply ‘no worry, he should tell the truth’. Mueller team is corrupt and political according to Rudy.
Claims ‘no factual basis for Mueller investigation’.
Clown show changes song & dance again. snappytv.com/tc/8424452
Giuliani says he has “seen all of Mueller investigation paperwork”, to George Stephanopoulos, including the Cohen 1.4 million Special Master papers, yet nothing to prove Trump of any wrong doing.
Sounds like another overstatement, also known as a lie.
Why did Giuliani push Comey to announce Clinton investigation 10 days prior to voting day November 2016? Was he involved with his allies at the NYC FBI office to push information out, in order to ambush Clinton? Questions remains unanswered. Weiner case timing questionable also.

Two months back, I made a post on my Facebook account about a personal project to interview 1000+ Ugandan Luminaries having high impact in different fields. I described these as "Great Ugandans" aka @GreatUgandans

A THREAD::: 👇👇👇
The post was easy to write. Then it hit me two weeks later that I was yet to carry out a single interview. I panicked. I hate making promises I don't keep. Worse still, I detest being dishonest to myself. I am the last person I want to lie to... so I sent out the first requests.
The first person to formally accept to be interviewed was Amos Wekesa, the man behind Great Lakes Safaris. His story from zero to high impact in tourism awed me. That first interview pushed me to the next.
