Politics / Bandits Kill Katsina Lecturer;Kidnap His Children by ShoeGetSize: 7:19am
Bandits have killed a lecturer with the Federal University Dutsinma, FUDMA, in Katsina State.

Dr. Tiri David was killed in a fresh bandits attack in the early hours of yesterday.

The lecturer was the Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension, and Rural Development at the university.




Late Tiri David


An eyewitness said the incident occurred at about 1:30 am at the lecturer’s residence in the Yarima Quarters, Low-Cost Estate, Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State.

He added that the bandits invaded the community with sophisticated weapons, shooting sporadically to scare the residents. According to him, the hoodlums also abducted two of the lecturer’s children.

The Katsina Police Command spokesman, Abubakar Sadiq, confirmed the incident but said the command will soon release a detailed statement about it.

Dutsinma is among the 10 security frontline local government areas grappling with frequent bandit attacks almost daily despite efforts by both the state government and security agencies to restore peace in the state.

Politics / APC Gathers 500 Islamic Clerics To Pray For Yari & Matawalle by ShoeGetSize: 3:07pm On Jul 02
Unity and Reconciliation Forum, an All Progressives Congress group in Zamfara, says it gathered 500 clerics for special prayers for former Governors Abdul’aziz Yari and Bello Matawalle.

Mr Yari represents Zamfara West senatorial district in the 10th Senate.

Abubakar Alaramma led the special prayers held in Gusau after reciting the Qur’an.

The forums’ chairman, Mande Umar, said 500 Islamic scholars were mobilised from the state’s 14 local government areas.

“Even though the prayers were organised to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Sen. Yari, we also use this medium to pray for Matawalle to succeed as Minister of State, Defence.

“We also seek Allah’s intervention on the current security and economic challenges in the state and Nigeria at large. We also commend APC stakeholders and a large crowd of members of the party for attending the prayer session,” Mr Umar said.

He called on political officeholders in the state to emulate Yari and Matawalle as they extended democracy dividends to the grassroots.

Romance / Meet The 103-Year-Old Tanzanian Who Is Waiting For Her White Boyfriend by ShoeGetSize: 8:28am On Jul 02
A 103-year-old Tanzanian woman identified as Mariam Hussein has narrated the lifelong story of love and patience detailing her deep affection for a white boyfriend named John, whom she failed to meet again after he left.

Hussein, who spoke with Afrimax's English anchor, Simon Greenwood, in Swahili (translated to English) recently said she was convinced that her European boyfriend would find her soon so they could rekindle their love, but she ended up single and celibate all her life.

According to her, John was a young man full of adventure and kindness who had come to Tanzania seeking adventure.

"I met John, a young white man from Europe who had come to Tanzanian in search of adventure and purpose. I helped him navigate and settle comfortably into his new environment.

Over time, our friendship blossomed into something more, to be honest, he was unlike anyone I have ever met his manners, stories, and kindness all fascinated me he respected my culture and showed genuine interest in my life and aspirations we spent countless hours envisioning a future filled with love and happiness I believed he was truly unique and indeed he was.

Our relationship blossomed and I found myself falling deeply in love every moment we spent together made my feelings for him grow stronger, I could see that he loved me too, his eyes sparkled with genuine affection whenever he looked at me and his actions always showed his care and commitment.

“I love him back wholeheartedly and unconditionally because, for the first time in my life, it was all about love in its purest form we shared dreams, hopes and secrets together, building an unbreakable bond I also hoped that John would be the one to change my destiny I dreamt that he may take me away from the life of struggle I had always known and experienced with him I envisioned a future filled with endless possibilities free from the hardship that had defined my past he gave me hope that together we could build a new life full of love and happiness,” the woman said.

Devastated by his sudden disappearance, Hussein spent years searching for him, believing that he would someday return to fulfil their dreams.“I was devastated I couldn’t believe he had disappeared initially. I considered the possibility of it being a prank or a test of my patience. I searched high and low for John desperately hoping for an explanation but he was nowhere to be found days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and still there was no trace of him months turned into years and yet I clung to believe that John would eventually return.

“I refused to accept the idea that he may not come back anytime soon despite the wonderful moments we had shared, I remained a virgin in our culture, it was expected that preserve her purity until marriage having sex before a marriage was considered a taboo so I made it my priority to maintain my purity…,”  she noted.

The 103-year-old woman further asserted that she had always believed that one day she would be married to John and her patience would be rewarded.

“This cultural belief was deeply ingrained in me and I took my commitment to take it seriously even though I loved John deeply and we had an incredible bond. I remained steadfast in upholding this cultural value.

I believed that one day, we would be married and my patience would be rewarded … however as years went by the hopes of his returns began to fade leaving me feeling both betrayed and alone nevertheless, I remained resolute in my promise to myself and my culture,” she said.

Foreign Affairs / Germany Will Refuse Citizenship For Immigrants Who Deny Israel's Right To Exist by ShoeGetSize: 2:05pm On Jul 01
Applicants for German citizenship will be required to explicitly affirm Israel's right to exist under a new citizenship law which came into effect on Tuesday.

The new law shortened the number of years that a person must have lived in Germany in order to obtain a passport, from eight to five years. It will also allow first-generation migrants to be dual citizens.

As part of the shake-up, new questions were added to the country's citizenship test, including about Judaism and Israel's right to exist.

“New test questions have been added on the topics of antisemitism, the right of the state of Israel to exist, and Jewish life in Germany,” the German interior ministry confirmed on Tuesday.

Interior Minister Nancy Faesar said: "Anyone who shares our values and makes an effort can now get a German passport more quickly and no longer has to give up part of their identity by giving up their old nationality.

"But we have also made it just as clear: anyone who does not share our values ​​cannot get a German passport. We have drawn a crystal-clear red line here and made the law much stricter than before."

Parts of the test include questions on Germany's historic responsibility towards Jewish people as a result of the crimes of Nazi Germany, and on when the state of Israel was founded.

The new law comes in just days after a report by Das Erste found that the German education ministry had drawn up lists of professors who don't toe the government line on Gaza, in a bid to deprive them of future funding in academia.

Last week, Sabine Doring, a junior minister responsible for higher education, was forced to resign after she had explored the option of cutting funding to signatories of an open letter in support of pro-Palestine student encampments.

Das Erste obtained emails which suggested that the ministry had checked whether it could strip funding from the signatories.

Doring had earlier claimed that the ministry made internal checks about whether the academics had broken any laws, but did not consider removing funds.

Germany is one of Israel's biggest weapons suppliers, selling equipment and weapons last year worth €326.5m ($353.7m), according to data from the country's economy ministry.

Since Israel's war on Gaza began in October, Berlin has enacted a series of repressive measures against acts of solidarity with Palestine.
In March, a state-owned bank in Germany froze the bank account of an anti-Zionist organisation.
Speeches by Palestinian academics and writers have been cancelled, protests banned and strict policies regarding speech at protests and events have been implemented.

Two months ago, British-Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sittah was refused entry into Germany to take part in a pro-Palestine conference. The event he was due to speak at, the Palestine Congress, was shut down by hundreds of plainclothes officers, who stormed the event and carried out several arrests.

Foreign Affairs / Democrats In America Pass Law That Will Allow Abortion A Day Before Delivery by ShoeGetSize: 2:58pm On Jun 25
Senate Democrats have endorsed the controversial Bill S 701 whose official title is: “Women’s Health Protection Law” which gives a pregnant woman the right to terminate a pregnancy after viability. What this means is that basically, if this law is passed, a woman will have the right to terminate a pregnancy at any time and/or for any reason.

In other words, even a day before a baby is born, an expecting mother can abort the pregnancy for any reason she wants, even if the reason is that she does not like the gender of the unborn child.

Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate have endorsed this Bill.

On the other hand, Republican Senator on the Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham presented a Bill to counter the extremity of the Democrat Bill called “The Protection of Unborn Children from Late Term Abortion Law.”

The Republican Law would have limited abortion to within the first 15 weeks of pregnancy except if the mother’s life is endangered by the pregnancy or if the pregnancy was the result of a rape or incest.

In other words, under the Republican Law, a woman would not be allowed to abort a pregnancy which she has been carrying for more than 15 weeks unless the pregnancy is endangering her life or if the pregnancy was the result of a sexual assault (rape) or incest.

The Democrats have blocked the Republican Law and they are going ahead to pass their own law because they control the United Senate. There are 100 Senate seats. 51 of them are held by Democrats and 49 are held by Republicans.

The Democrats expect the law to come into effect before the November 2024 US Presidential Elections

Religion / Re: The Hidden Demon In Pride Month (Pics) by ShoeGetSize: 4:13pm On Jun 24
Yes, but Christ was responding to the kind of language which Peter used.


Jesus had just revealed to His disciples for the first time the plan: He was to go to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and be raised to life (Matthew 16:21; Mark 8:31).

Contrary to their expectations of Him, Jesus explained that He had not come to establish an earthly Messianic kingdom at that time.

The disciples were not prepared for this new revelation of the Messiah’s purpose. Though Peter understood His words, he simply could not reconcile his view of the conquering Messiah with the suffering and death Jesus spoke of.

Scripture tells us that Peter “began to rebuke Him” for having such a fatalistic mindset. So Christ had to respond in a very harsh manner to make Peter aware of the implication of what he was saying.

That is a completely different thing from calling Peter an actual Satan.

This is different from your "prophet" whose own mother referred to him as being demonically possessed!

Sirat Rasul Allah Ibn Ishaq, page 72:

"His [Muhammad's friend's] father said to me, "I am afraid that this child has had a stroke, so take him back to his family before the result appears. ..... She [Muhammad's mother] asked me what happened and gave me no peace until I told her. When she asked if I feared a demon had possessed him, I replied that I did."


AntiChristian:


The context shows many things!

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

"this rock" qualifies Peter!

Jesus was saying he would build his Church on Peter!

Firstly, Peter is not the founder of Christianity.

Secondly, the context shows why Christ used the kind of language that He used.
Jesus had just revealed to His disciples for the first time the plan: He was to go to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and be raised to life (Matthew 16:21; Mark 8:31).

Contrary to their expectations of Him, Jesus explained that He had not come to establish an earthly Messianic kingdom at that time. The disciples were not prepared for this new revelation of the Messiah’s purpose. Though Peter understood His words, he simply could not reconcile his view of the conquering Messiah with the suffering and death Jesus spoke of. So Peter “began to rebuke Him” for having such a fatalistic mindset.

Peter was looking at the death of Christ from an earthly, human frame of mind which was unspiritual and ungodly, hence the words "Get behind me Satan"

Peter was not possessed, But MAD HA MAD the founder of the MUD SLIME religion was possessed and even his own mother admitted that her child was demon possessed:

Sirat Rasul Allah Ibn Ishaq, page 72:

"His [Muhammad's friend's] father said to me, "I am afraid that this child has had a stroke, so take him back to his family before the result appears. ..... She [Muhammad's mother] asked me what happened and gave me no peace until I told her. When she asked if I feared a demon had possessed him, I replied that I did."

Your "prophet" was a depraved sex mad lower life form.

This would explain why when a magician called Lubaid Al Asam put a magic spell on him, it took away his urge for food and women. He was a very simple minded man. He was not a man of intellect, so Satan could not remove his brains since he did not have any brain. Instead, Satan removed his appetite for food and sex! grin grin grin:

Ibn Sa'd's "Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir" (Book of the Major Classes), volume 2, pages 244 to 248.


"The apostle of Allah fell ill. He was bewitched about women and food. ...There were eleven knots [in the hair from the comb]. The two Surahs no. 113, and 114 were revealed to him. No sooner did the apostle of Allah recited a verse than a knot loosened. When all of them were loosened, he regained his urge for food and women."




AntiChristian:


You are right! That's why Jesus called Peter Satan after saying the Church will be built on the same Peter the Rock!

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Matthew 16:23

Satanic religion indeed!
Romance / Re: Why Do Married Men have a forlorn look When Out With Their Wives And Kids? by ShoeGetSize: 7:35pm On Jun 23
Because 9 times out of 10, he's the one footing the bill for the wellbeing of the happy family. The moment he falls short of being the breadwinner, both society and that same wife will call him a useless man and publicly ridicule him.

Add the frustration of Tinubu economy to the picture and you get the complete image of a man who is living on the edge and trying to keep things together in an increasingly difficult situation.

Iamblessed85:
I observed this when i go to shopping malls and public places. You see a pretty and happy wife with good looking kids. You would expect the husband to be happy too but you would see him wearing a forlorn look without acknowledging the wife or kids except to periodically scold the kids when they are playing too much.

Why is it that the men never look happy?

A305:
The financial obligations of a married man are enormous and his mind state is usually in a state of calculation, projection, troubleshooting, balancing a situation before it even happens.


When a man is out shopping in a mall like that; while his wife is busy picking what they need, the kids are busy with Impulse purchases (stuff not planned for but they want it), the man mentally goes into a state of calculation and how to influence everyone decisions to shop prudently. While doing this, he is also mentally planning for tomorrow expenditures as well.

The wife doesn't share that mental burden except she is the bread winner of the family and kids wouldn't understand what it means to be a bread winner.


That's why men always have that look.

Men who are rich never have such look, they would be the one at the fore front asking their kids, do you want this or that — or sometimes remain in the car while the wife and kids go into the mall.

Foreign Affairs / Mysterious Monolith Structures Are Appearing Around The World by ShoeGetSize: 3:56pm On Jun 23
A “mysterious monolith” has appeared in a desert north of Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says the shiny, reflective structure – similar to one found in Utah years ago – was spotted by its search and rescue unit near Gass Peak over the weekend.

“We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking like not being prepared for the weather, not bringing enough water… but check this out!” police wrote on X alongside an image of the monolith.



The discovery comes months after a hiker in Wales captured a video of a mysterious “UFO”-like monolith on top of a hillside along the country’s border with England.

Craig Muir recorded footage showing the shiny object in March while hiking Hay Bluff near Hay-on-Wye, according to Storyful.

“I come up here most days and I’ve never seen this before,” Muir says in the video, adding that it “almost looks like a UFO.”

Similar monoliths also have been found in Belgium, Romania and the Isle of Wight – an island in the English Channel.

In November 2020, one of the monoliths, estimated at between 10 feet and 12 feet high, was found by Utah state wildlife employees who were counting sheep from a helicopter.

Bret Hutchings, the helicopter pilot, said it was “about the strangest thing that I’ve come across out there in all my years of flying,” according to Salt Lake City’s KSL-TV.

Authorities said at the time that the mysterious object was installed in the ground in a remote area with “no obvious indication” of who might have put it there, according to a press release from the Utah Department of Public Safety.

The monolith found this week is reminiscent of the one recently spotted in Utah.

Then a week later, another monolith was discovered in Atascadero, California, which is north of Los Angeles.

It’s unclear who is behind the placement of the monoliths.

A New Mexico artist collective claimed responsibility years ago.

Politics / Tinubu Political Ally Dies In Mecca Heatwave by ShoeGetSize: 7:31am On Jun 23
Alhaja Ramota Bankole, a key All Progressives Congress leader in Lagos, was one of more than 1,000 who died on the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.

A renowned veteran politician and member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Nigeria, was among over 1,000 pilgrims who died in extreme heat during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

The death of Alhaja Ramota Bankole, the former Welfare Secretary of APC’s Lagos chapter, was confirmed dead by local officials on Thursday.

The death toll from this year's Hajj has exceeded 1,000, an AFP tally said on Thursday, with over half of those who died being unregistered worshippers who joined the pilgrimage through irregular channels.

Top Nigerian officials shared their condolences of the late Bankole, who was said to have celebrated her 60th birthday prior to leaving for the Gulf state.

"Her death is most shocking and unfortunate. She was a committed and experienced party leader," Seye Oladejo, APC's Publicity Secretary told state-owned news outlet News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

"The deceased was a proven mobiliser and inspiration for women participation in politics. May her precious soul in peace."

The local government of the Lagos town of Epe, where Bankole was based, also expressed their grief on the politician's passing.

"It is with a heavy heart, and a deep sense of grief that I received the news of the death of Alhaja Ramota Bankole," Epe local government chairwoman Surah Animashaun said in a statement.

"It is a sad day indeed as I received the news that she died in the holy land of Mecca while on holy pilgrimage."

About 10 countries have reported 1,081 deaths during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, which every Muslim with the financial and physical means is required to undertake at least once in their lifetime.

Nigeria reported earlier this month that two of its nationals died while performing the pilgrimage, who were identified as Salman Alade and Ayishat Ologele.

In Medina, authorities also confirmed the deaths of another two Nigerian pilgrims, Saliu Mohammed and Hawawu Mohammed.

Other countries, including Malaysia, India, Jordan, Iran, Senegal, Tunisia, Sudan, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, have confirmed fatalities. In most of the instances, the cause of death has not been specified by authorities.

On Thursday, more fatalities were also officiated by Pakistan and Indonesia, as friends and relatives have continued to search for missing pilgrims.

Saudi Arabia has not disclosed the number of fatalities during Hajj but reported over 2,700 cases of "heat exhaustion" on Sunday alone.

Last year, various countries reported more than 300 deaths, primarily among Indonesian pilgrims.

The Hajj dates shift about 11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. Next year, it will occur in early June, potentially cooler weather conditions.

Hajj is being increasingly affected by climate change, with the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change warning parts of the Gulf could become uninhabitable by the end of the century.

More than 10,000 heat-related illnesses were recorded last year, 10 percent of them heat stroke, a Saudi official told AFP this week.

A Saudi study said regional temperatures were rising by 0.4 C each decade, and worsening heat may be outpacing mitigation measures.

Hajj has witnessed several disasters over the years, including a tragic stampede during the "stoning the devil" ritual in 2015, which resulted in up to 2,300 deaths.

I mean it, you've got talent bro. A lot of people don't know this, but story-boarding is an integral part of modern movie making.
Storyboarding is when the movie director and an artist collaborate to visualise what they want the movie to look like.

In most fantasy movies and science fiction movies (like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Avengers etc) those stunning visuals you see, usually came from the creative imagination of an artist before they enhanced it with special effects and CGI.

Just keep advertising your talent and you will eventually go places.
