US looses control to China over the $ 46 billion lithium battery industry.

United States has ranked # 2 in the global lithium-ion battery supply chain rankings this year, according to Bloomberg.
The US is the second-largest electric vehicle market in the world after China, and Tesla and Asian battery manufacturers are making “significant” investments in the country as government policies help build an internal battery supply chain.
China continues to dominate the rankings thanks to continued investment and strong local and domestic demand for its lithium-ion batteries. The Asian country now hosts 80% of all battery cell manufacturing capacity, with capacity expected to more than double, enough to power more
than 20 million electric vehicles over the next five years, the report said. European countries are also climbing up in the rankings as sales of light electric vehicles grow steadily, as do queues for them.
Duty-free trading in Europe means that the demand for batteries in Europe is second only to China. If we evaluate Europe as a whole, it ranks first in both the 2021 and 2026 rankings.

I was a child during the Nigerian Civil War but I have good memories of the destruction and death from the war itself and the death from kwashiokor of at least a million children who died of starvation.
I remember the death of my uncle Godson, my father's youngest brother and a Biafran soldier, and the wailing anguish of my now late grandmother at his funeral. The lives and futures of so many brilliant young men and women wasted in a conflict not of their making.
Till tomorrow, I continue to believe that Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu's violent coup of January 1966 (which ultimately failed as it was suppressed) was a wrong move, because that's what started the violent phase of the Nigerian crisis (there was a political crisis already).

Newcastle sale to Saudi Arabia is the latest sign of a national malaise.

Anyone surprised that Britain welcomes such shady money hasn’t been paying attention.
In John Osborne’s 1957 play The Entertainer, the fading old music-hall performer Archie Rice becomes the symbol of a fading old Britain. Rice boasts, pathetically: “I’ve played in front of them all.
The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, and the . . . what was the name of that other pub?” Anyone wanting to portray Britain today would use another image: a failing cash-strapped football club, which has won nothing for decades, selling its last remaining...

Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901. He was nicknamed “Satchmo” because of his big satchel-like mouth.
He became one of the first black entertainers to become successful among white audiences during the era of segregation.
He was one of the most influential figures in jazz. He is also known for his recognizable gravelly voice and he was also an influential singer.
What is less known about Satchmo is that he had a special fondness for marijuana and that he helped popularize in the 1920s among musicians, including Bing Crosby.
Louis was first turned onto marijuana in the mid-1920s, and he smoked it all his life, including before performances

Politics is a wonderful game: it yields the fruit of goodness or adversity. It brings progress, development or retardation/retrogression. Politics can raise a person's social worth or diminish it. It has the capacity to raise people's standard of living or diminish it altogether.
Politics exposes one to honour or dishonour. One who gets involved in the game of politics either experiences a Pull-Him-Up or Pull-him-down syndromes sometimes.
When the Pandora revelations came to light through the the PRIME TIME publication, it took many Nigerians by surprise.

IGBOLAND is the new home of Hades, lord of death and king of the underworld. The land writhes in pains as rough men roast it for supper. Vultures have descended on its forests; hawks feed on its cities. Every dove there is in fearful flight.
There is no sacred bird the bad boys are not shooting down. They do violence to the hymen of honour; they violate the sacred grove of peace; they defile their ancestors’ holy soil with libations of abominable blood. They hack down freedom while wearing vests of liberation.
They are murdering their mother’s daughters and killing their father’s sons because they want to be free from the chains of their abusive neighbour. Their brothers’ heads are the hearthstones of their separatist broth. The land needs help; good people there are helpless.
