In 1985, Sambo Dasuki arrested Muhammadu Buhari on a Sallah Eve, during his overthrow in the military coup that brought in IBB. Buhari’s mother died while he was in detention. Buhari could not attend her funeral.

Then Fast forward to 30 years later in 2015, Buhari arrested Dasuki on a Sallah Eve. Dasuki’s father died while still in detention. Dasuki could not attend his funeral.

This is quite funny 😂😂

Well, Dasuki was the National Security adviser to Good luck Jonathan. He was arrested in 2015 on the ground of awarding phantom contracts to buy

MONGOLIA 🇲🇳.

Mongolia at a time had a rich history of kicking the living shit out of every country near it.

They did it often. And they did it
well.

But that was then. And this is now.

They do have a decent military and are key allies of the United States, particularly as tensions have risen with China.

But their Navy…well, let’s just say war horses weren’t meant to swim. Mongolia doesn’t have any ocean barriers.

It is landlocked. So naturally, it isn’t a high priority.

But they do have a single boat Navy currently, Sukhbaatar III.

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”
“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”
The auditor thinks for a moment and says, “OK. Go ahead.”
Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”

The hungriest man in history, Tarrare, reportedly lived in 18th century France. He possessed an unusually large and stretched-out mouth, as well as an excess of skin around his stomach that expanded as he ate. Despite his constant consumption, he never gained weight. Tarrare's insatiable appetite led him to consume live animals, a variety of rubbish, and there are even rumors that he indulged in cannibalism. In an attempt to exploit his unique ability to ingest anything, the army enlisted Tarrare to transport a box containing a secret

Some schools had an interesting method to prevent teenage pregnancies — that instead backfired.

The method was giving teenage girls baby dolls that were hyper realistic, baby simulators. The idea was that by simulating the effects of teenage motherhood, the young
 girls would be less likely to want to be teenage mothers themselves.

The dolls had built-in sensors and would require “feeding” and diaper changes regularly, they would cry and even wake up the “mothers” at night. As the program went on, many of the girls got mighty attached

“I saw a friend who I never knew was Dead weeks back.

On 17th February 2020, I met someone who I knew in Vietnam (although we are not too close friends but we are friends), he held me from behind and shouted oga Buchi,  then I turned and shouted “Willy” what are you doing here were are you coming from, he said he was Coming from Porthacourt, that he is going to Awka. This is happening in Upper Iweka Onitsha in front of Ifeanyichukwu Motors.

He brought out gold from his pocket, and told me to buy or help him to sell it.

“Lagos does not belong to the Yorubas”— Oba Akiolu(Oba Of Lagos).

This statement was released by him in 2017:

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.

“It was a major centre of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886 when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori’s, Bini’s, Yoruba’s, migrants across the nation and world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone. “Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks, Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.
“The Awori’s and Bini’s are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori’s are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori’s were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini’s who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yorubas as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.
 
“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’s Kingdom in Benin are the today’s Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini’s were treated by the Awori’s who lived in their area. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori’s and demanded explanation.
“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.
 
“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko.

“From the crowing of Prince Ado as the first Oba of Lagos (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major center for slave trade from which the Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.
 
“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire which are the present day Western, Southern and Eastern modern day Nigeria. The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.

Egyptian civilization owes its life to the Nile River. The Nile provided water and food in the desert. This seemed like a blessing from the gods of the ancient people. For that reason, Egypt has often been called the "Gift of the Nile." The Nile is the world's longest river. It flows over 4,000 miles north from the snowcapped mountains of East Africa. It passes through the present-day countries of Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. Then the Nile empties into the warm Mediterranean Sea.

”When a woman wants to teach you a lesson, even Satan sits down to take notes.

So it happened that My neighbor was a big drunk. His wife used to pick him up in bars and in trenches. Her family friends advised her to leave him but she was hopeful that she’ll find a solution one day.
”One Saturday, she went to pick him again, he was completely drunk. Instead of taking him home, she headed straight to the mortuary. She negotiated with the mortuary attendants to make him lie with the corpses so that when he wakes up, they can teach him a lesson or two. She then went back home.

The Remarkable Legacy of African Moors.

Another Testament that Civilization began in Africa. We own It. It was never a visitor or stranger to us, Africans.

NOW!! Brace yourself. We’re about to delve into the Moors journey, contributions, and enduring legacy.

🪡Thread🧵 Spain's rich history is intertwined with the fascinating story of the African Moors, who conquered and ruled the Iberian Peninsula for an astounding 781 years, from 711 to 1492.

The African Moors originated from North Africa, primarily from the region we now know as Morocco. In 711, under the leadership of Tariq ibn Ziyad, they crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, entered Spain, and defeated the Visigothic Kingdom, establishing the Umayyad Caliphate.

This is how it began.

Miss World Riot, Kaduna 2002.

Isioma Daniel, a journalist working for Thisday wrote that the Islamic prophet Muhammad would probably have approved of the Miss World competition. She said:

“The Muslims thought it was immoral to bring ninety-two women to Nigeria and ask them to revel in vanity. What would Mohammed think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from one of them.”

This led to anger among certain Muslim individuals, and from November 20th to November 23rd, violent riots took place in the city of Kaduna.

Many don't know him, but Anthony Gicnac will go down in history as the person who made the stupidest mistake possible.
This man pretended almost all his life to be a millionaire prince from Dubai and called himself "Prince Khalid Bin Al-Saud". He did all this with a single purpose, to defraud investors, and he did it, for a long time many believed him, in fact it is estimated that he ended up defrauding hundreds of people for a total of 8 million dollars.
He even had an Instagram account where he showed his luxuries & the way he lived, of course, at the expense of other people's money.

A STORY OF DERICO NWAMAMA.

WARNING ⚠️ : A long-read. Retweet and Bookmark to read at convenience.


It was 22 long years ago. The year 2001, and everything was quite topsy-turvy in the country. The nation was still smarting from the Y2K(Year 2000) scare that the world was going to come to an abrupt end and all computers would stop functioning at the exact strike of midnight on the 31st of December, 1999.

Doomsday prophets went gaga, milking an ignorant populace from their brisk and dark businesses as they went around screaming the world was going to end. Nigeria was also experiencing the post-delivery pangs of democracy having just regained freedom from stifling military rule in 1999 following General Sani Abacha’s sudden and mysterious death. But away from all these superficial trivia, there were more disturbing issues heating up the polity and one of the most nerve-tangling of these was insecurity. Insecurity was all over the land, and the speed and ferocity with which violence was spreading was heartbreaking, to say the least.

Together, with the binoculars of history, let’s zoom in on southeastern Nigeria as the legendary story of Derico Nwamama, Nigeria’s King of the Underworld is retold like never before.

2001 was a very turbulent year for Nigeria and one of the states that bore the biggest brunt of the madness and political violence was Anambra. My beautiful Anambra, the land of the greats and the finest okpa di oku. But for a land that has produced some of Africa’s greatest, all was far from well. The people of Onitsha could not display their wares with peace while going to bed at night was horror. All because of one 22-year-old lad who went by the name Okwudili Ndiwe, better known as Derico Nwamama or simply Derico. A frustrated Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju tried all tricks in the book to hook this damaged crook but all efforts failed until he went unconventionally ballistic.
Psychologically-traumatized and emotionally-battered, the people of Anambra went to their markets petrified and whenever there was a commotion with shouts of Derico renting the air, they fled in different directions, like the sprayed ashes from the palms of a dibia. It did not take long before the despicable name of Derico was on the mouth of everyone in and around the state. He was aptly described as the personification of terror. From Nnewi to Nkpor, from the villages in Umuleri to towns in Ihiala, the old and young were terrified at the mere whisper of Derico. Nwamama. Nwa. Mama. But as a saying goes, no condition is permanent and Derico would soon meet the nastiest of all endings…
Days of Robbery.

Derico Nwamama had a very interesting modus operandi. Although he terrorized the entire state of Anambra, striking in various places, particularly Onitsha, he was not residing in the state. As a matter of fact, his base was Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. Derico only visited his hometown when it was time to launch maximum terror. And after raining a torrent of bullets and gunfire upon the hapless and ill-equipped officers of the Nigerian Police and defenceless Nigerians, he would speed back to his safe haven, hours away up north in Abuja, with his loot, safe on the laps of power, luxury and comfort.
At a period, Derico used the town of Umuleri as his hideout. Then from there, he would issue threatening messages to the police that they will pay for killing members of his gang. He also maintained his bases in other towns like Agbor.

DERICO killed Chiejina, his Brother in Arm, over power tussle.

Chiejina was from Aguleri, Anambra State and before Derico came onto the scene, Chiejina was described by the police as the deadliest armed robber in all of Anambra State. The centre of his lethal operations was Onitsha. Derico’s father too was from Aguleri and in no time, the paths of the two met and they became very good friends and colleagues in the armed robbery business.

In 11 days Hamas fired 4,400 rocket into Isreal in 2021, but the Isreali iron Dome intercepted about 4,000 rockets while 400 landed in non-habitable areas of Isreal.

Today marks the start of Yom Kippur war 50years ago in 1973(Arab/Israeli War)

This morning Hamas fired 5,000 rockets(the highest amounts ever in a day, in the history of Isreal/Hamas conflict) into Isreal, with about 2,200 rockets landing in southern and central Isreal. The Iron dome was perhaps overwhelmed with such amount of rocket in just a day.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, a Lawyer bought a really expensive box of Cigars and then insured them against fire. Within a month he had smoked all 24 of these rather fine Cigars, without even paying his first premium payment on the insurance policy. The Lawyer then filed a claim against the insurance company. In the claim the Lawyer claimed the Cigars were lost in a series of small fires.

LYDIA FAIRCHILD found herself pregnant with her third child after her husband abandoned her and their two children. In 2002, she sought enhanced child support in Washington, but an astonishing revelation came to light during the process—a DNA test she requested proved that she was not biologically related to her children.

As a consequence of this discovery, she faced accusations of fraud, with authorities suspecting her of attempting to use unrelated children to gain financial benefits. During her third child's impending birth, the judge ordered
