EE to bring back mobile roaming charges in Europe.

EE, leading UK mobile operator, reinstates roaming charges for new UK customers traveling in Europe and becomes the first mobile operator to re-introduce roaming charges after Brexit.
The BT-owned company, said Thursday that customers which are joining after July 7 will be charged £ 2 per day from January to use their data, voice, or text messages in the EU.
This is a departure from the previous position of the EE, regarding the possibility of reverting to roaming tariffs after the UK, left the single European market.
Along with rivals Three, O2, and Vodafone, EE indicated earlier this year that it will not reintroduce the levy in European countries, FT. BT shares grew by 1,73 % per week.

THE STORY OF JESUS OF OYINBO (JESU OYINBO) THE SELF-ACCLAIMED CHRIST.
Thread.

Read the fascinating story of Jesus of Oyingbo, a self-acclaimed saviour, his empire and how he died in 1988.
- A self-acclaimed Jesus, Jesu Oyingbo, made history in Lagos between the 1970s and 1980s
- He acquired converts to his church, wealth and wives, some of whom he acquired very unlawfully
- He claimed he was the coming Christ, drew a lot of people to himself but died miserably
- Following his death, his ministry, family and all that called his name were scattered and abandoned
“I am He. I am Jesus Christ, the very one whose second coming was foretold in the New Testament. I have come, and those who believe in me will have an everlasting life and joy.

THE ONLY REASON WHY THEY WANT TO BORROW FROM THE CHINESE AT INFLATED COSTS TO DO THE RAIL PROJECT INSTEAD OF ADOPTING PPP MODELS LIKE THE GHANAIANS ARE DOING, IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DESIRE TO LOOT, PERIOD.

Thread.
The Ghanaian -European Railway Consortium has signed a contract to construct 340km railway line in Ghana at the cost of $2 billion under a 27 years BOT (Build Operate and Transfer) concessioning arrangement.
This Ghanaian Project is a PPP (Private/Public Project) driven initiative that will not add any jot of debt on the Ghanaian government's balance sheet .
In Nigeria, President Buhari and Minister Rotimi Amaechi have borrowed the same amount of money, $2billion to construct...

2023: BOLA TINUBU AND THE COST OF POLITICAL MISCALCULATION.

The godfather of Lagos politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in 2015 led the South-West into an alliance with the North to birth the All Progressive Alliance (APC).
His decision, evidently, was informed by the expectation that the two geopolitical regions will share power, invariably to the exclusion of the Eastern bloc. And ultimately that he, or the South-West, will take power by the time the North completes two terms in 2023.
But it has proved to be a miscalculation.
Certainly, power play is about conspiracies and alliances. Tinubu is well within his right to do what he thought would best advance his political interest and that of his region.

MERCENARIES AND THE ULI AIRSTRIP

THE AIRLIFT TO BIAFRA

The Uli Airstrip was the most important link between Biafra and the outside world during the Nigerian civil war. Most of the major airfields in Biafra were captured by government forces early in the war.
Had the Nigerian government destroyed the Uli Airstrip, the war and the humanitarian catastrophe that accompanied it probably would have ended very quickly. Unfortunately, the government was dependent on mercenary pilots who were skilled enough to target the airport at night.
When mercenaries working for the government refused to destroy the airport, Biafra was able to continue its resistance (De St. Jorre 1972, 318).

Why were the mercenary pilots unwilling to strike an obvious military target? There are two basic reasons.

Igbo Critics and the Presumed Menace of Nnamdi Kanu:
Part 1

Among the broad conglomeration of Igbo people of Nigeria, there are two categories of critics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB (Indigenous Peoples of Biafra).
There are those who don’t want Biafra at all, and then those who want Biafra but not the way Kanu and his group are going about it. I would wager that the former are in the minority while the latter are quite a number.
The former are of the opinion that a pull-out from Nigeria will harm the Igbos adversely. While they admit that the Igbos are being marginalized, they argue that other ethnic groups also suffer from different kinds of marginalization.
