Another inspiring visit today at ABUSOL (Agribusiness Solution Ltd)... in Bugesera District, Mayange. Founded by Rwandan entrepreneur Jean Baptiste Musabyimana, ABUSOL stands out as one of the country’s leading poultry farms with over 130,000 chickens and producing between 80,000 and 100,000 eggs daily. Beyond scale, the impact is clear: contributing to Rwanda’s drive to increase access to animal-sourced proteins and strengthen food security. What is even more impressive is the level of innovations; the operate on an automated system handling feeding, water distribution, and egg collection, with robots now sorting and grading eggs. From local supply to international markets, this is agribusiness done right, efficient, scalable, and forward-looking. 🐔🐔🐔🐔🥚🥚🥚🥚 #InvestInRwanda #VisitRwanda #RwandaWorks #Agribusinessshow more

My Newest family member and portfolio addition: Eggs! 🐣📈... With egg prices $4.95 per dozen in USA I decided to skip eggs and bacon breakfast for one morning and placed a few fertilized eggs from free-range hens into an egg incubator from Temu 😅 The result after 21 days? 🧵 Four adorable chicks 🐥🐥🐥🐥 Here's the breakdown: These hens will start laying eggs at about 18 weeks old. They'll produce approximately 1 egg per day in their most productive 3 years. Average of 300 eggs per year over 3 years, each hen could lay around 1000 eggs in her lifetime. That's 4,000 eggs in total! At the current price of $4.95 per dozen, that's $1,650 worth of eggs over their laying period. It's similar with stock trading principles: by delaying immediate gratification and investing with patience, you can achieve significant returns. I postponed a single breakfast, invested 21 days, and now have a sustainable source of organic eggs 🐔🥚💰show more

🥚 Raw Eggs — They are nature's fast food,... and a complete food, with every nutrient you could need. A raw egg digests in only 27 to 37 minutes, which is phenomenal compared to other foods containing protein and fat, like meat and milk. This is because egg is a fully liquid food. The body doesn't need to use any digestive fluids, hydrochloric acid, to break it down, it will absorb within the first 5 inches of the intestine only, from bacterial digestion alone. Of course, if you cook the egg, this doesn't apply anymore. Cooking not only destroys nutrients, especially enzymes and vitamins, which impairs digestion, and generates toxins, like heterocyclic amines from proteins, and cauterizes the minerals, but it coagulates the egg. This not only makes a raw egg the perfect food to get instant energy in a healthful way, but a vital food that can save someone's life. If your digestive system is so compromised you cannot digest other animal protein, like meat, raw eggs will work. Or if you have leaky gut, they digest before they even have to go through the G.I. tract. In general, if you want to give your digestive system a rest, eat raw eggs, you will get back appetite for other foods very soon. In the next post of this thread is a quote of Aajonus' most incredible testimonial on the healing power of raw eggs. They are also the best food to repair. The only thing that Aajonus found that eggs cannot do is help the body reproduce cells quicker. That takes raw meat. So long-term, you cannot replace raw meat with raw eggs, they work complementarily. Don't discard the egg white. Aajonus proved the avidin in raw egg white is not an anti-nutrient. Aajonus ate up to 60 raw eggs a day (one or two dozens on most days) since 1976. He confirmed there was no biotin deficiency whatsoever. The narrow-minded lab experiments do not explain what actually happen and then draw the wrong conclusion. What actually happens is that biotin mixes with avidin to make a compound that cleans the body of biocarbons, which are leftover byproducts from macronutrient digestion that need to be eliminated by the body. This is actually a good thing. Plus, there is an excess of available biotin in raw egg compared to the amount of avidin. It is also recommended by Aajonus to not eat raw egg yolks alone either, as it creates imbalances when on a raw diet (this doesn't apply on a cooked diet). He did the experiments on animals, feeding them raw egg white and raw egg yolk separately, and it made them extremely hungry, they required twice as much food, had huge imbalances emotionally, caused obesity, water retention, all kinds of problems. So, if you go to a restaurant, you can request the egg white to be included in your steak tartare, just like Aajonus did. What about salmonella? Salmonella is already on our skin, in our eyes, our nose, our mouth, recycling dead cells. They are beneficial bacteria, not pathogenic. Of course, this isn't medical advice. Look into Aajonus and more broadly into terrain theory vs germ theory. Don't refrigerate eggs. Only in the USA do people do this. If you wash the egg, you remove the protective membrane around it, then health departments require them to be refrigerated. Just don't wash the eggs. Eggs are a bit of a fragile food, many of its natural bacteria die when in cold temperatures, so it's better to keep them at room temperatures, or they will lose digestibility. You can blend raw eggs, however it will oxidize them, destroying certain nutrients. There are three enzymes in the egg white which prevent certain hormones that help certain diseases progress like cancer. If you as little as whip the raw egg with a work, these enzymes in the egg white oxidize within seconds. Raw eggs are a detoxification food. They are rich in cholesterol. If you drink alcohol, eat plenty of raw eggs (before, during, after), and you will avoid a hangover. The cholesterol in raw eggs is very good at collecting the alcohol and other toxins. They also enable the body to make solvents to break down toxicity like cellulite. Raw eggs can be fermented, and aged in various ways. Century eggs, the real ones (which are around 25 years old), can cost a thousand dollars. They transform in all sorts of shapes, they can look like green boiled eggs, jewelry, eggs that could belong to a dragon, or turn into white, black powder. They can give incredible energy and libido. How to eat: If you eat the raw egg white first, then the yolk right after, the raw egg will digest in 27 minutes, otherwise in 37 minutes. It is easier to do so from the shell by poking a hole on each side and sucking from it. This is "Aajonus-style". From a glass is "Rocky-style". Nowadays also called slonking. Make the egg go through your teeth while you drink it, this makes it easier to mix it with saliva, which allows better digestion. That only works if you eat only one raw egg at a time. If you eat several raw eggs at once, they will digest slower. Not an issue, it is still extremely healthy. Therefore eating raw eggs frequently throughout the day, one at a time, can bring a steady flow of nutrients to your body. Eggs are perfect to eat upon waking up, providing quick energy from fats and providing protein for the body to make glycogen from and feed the nervous system. They are perfect to eat in-between meals. Only take a couple seconds and get you going for hours, and whenever you get tired. Eggs help gain and lose weight. It all depends how you combine them. A raw egg eaten alone can lead to weight loss, except if you eat more than around 22 a day to maintain. Aajonus' weight loss protocol relies on eating a raw egg diet for 1-3 weeks and is very effective. Raw eggs can help remove cellulite, strip down toxic fat (which is fat that was used to store toxins). Eggs eaten with other foods, or several at once, don't have this weight loss effect. They are very good to eat with other foods, such as raw meat (steak tartare). You can easily eat 3 raw eggs with your raw steak. There are many recipes, from raw pastries, to sauces like mayo, milkshakes, ... where you can keep the egg raw and whole.show more

Today, North Kivu is witnessing a transformation unlike anything... seen since the Democratic Republic of Congo came into existence. A new road is under construction, stretching from Sake to Masisi Centre—marking just the beginning of a new era. The people of Masisi, long tormented by impassable roads, will no longer spend days struggling to survive journeys that should take hours. At the same time, Goma is experiencing a renaissance. Water now flows across the city where, not long ago, people endured weeks—even months—without it. Those once responsible for public services profited from the population’s misery by selling water from tankers. That chapter is closing. Today, water is a right, not a privilege. Electricity is stable and reliable. Since the departure of the Kinshasa regime, blackouts have become a thing of the past. Cleanliness now defines the city, greeting every visitor with a sense of pride and order that was once unimaginable. Security has improved drastically. Goma is now 99% safe, even in the face of challenges created by the reckless distribution of weapons and cash by the previous regime. Our security forces have refused to rest—they work tirelessly to safeguard the people. Areas like Ndosho, once gripped by fear and sleepless nights, now stand as symbols of the peace and stability brought by AFC/M23. Banks are open and functioning, with plans already in motion to extend banking services to rural communities. In the countryside, food is so abundant that the leadership is now focused on opening up larger markets to prevent the surplus from going to waste. All of this has been achieved in less than three months—through leadership rooted in unity, diversity, equity, inclusion, gender equality, and equal opportunities for all children. Imagine what will be achieved in five years! The era of poor leadership is fading like smoke. In its place, the people of North Kivu are witnessing real progress, restored dignity, and renewed hope in the liberated areas. What Kinshasa failed to deliver for decades is now being done—with purpose, transparency, and results.show more

Roqqu partners with @OndoFinance to drive the Global adoption... of Real-World Assets Hundreds of trillions of dollars in financial assets exist today. Only a fraction of 1% of them have been tokenized. This imbalance represents one of the largest opportunities in modern finance as capital markets increasingly move on-chain. From Stocks and ETFs to bonds, commodities, and REITs, financial institutions around the world are exploring tokenization as a more efficient way to issue, distribute, and access financial assets. Against this backdrop, we are going into a strategic partnership with Ondo Finance, one of the world's leading issuers of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), to expand access to institutional-grade tokenized financial products across emerging markets. This partnership combines Ondo's leadership in bringing traditional financial assets on-chain and Roqqu's growing distribution network in emerging markets, creating new pathways for investors to participate in the next evolution of global capital markets. At a time when tokenized assets are rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance, both companies share a common belief: the future of finance is tokenized.show more

Dear Nigerians, "Patriotism means to stand by the country.... It does not mean to stand by the president." ~Theodore Roosevelt On this national scale, if the mass number of Nigerians are suffering, their lives and properties in jeopardy, it is okay to speak up, call a spade a spade and stop this gov from leading us astray. Now more than ever, we must unite. We must unite against the ruiners of Nigeria before they bury what is left of her. Organization is the first primary weapon of the oppressed. This is the only weapon we are yet to explore, and we can not explore this until we unite. The oppressed Nigerians must organize to form a force against the ruiners of Nigeria and take back our country to have a system that is for the benefit of the Nigerian people and not a few in the position of power. President will come and go, only the people will remain. Don't give those in power today to play politics with your future. Let's unite, not necessary as one but as a team. A team with different skills, languages culture, religion and tradition, but one CAUSE regardless of our tribal differences to stand against the common enemy who have now shown to be a curse on our very own existence as an amazing people of this great nation. ~OIA✊🏿show more

In the first video, people in Donetsk are seen... greeting a water tanker. In the second video, during the rain, people try to collect at least a drop of water because the water pipeline from the Siverskyi Donets was destroyed by the Russians. When Donetsk was not occupied by Russia, the city hosted the European Football Championship, as well as concerts by Rihanna and Beyoncé. Now, there is no more running water in the city. According to the schedule, water only appears in taps once every three days, and even then it doesn’t reach every household, so water has to be delivered by tankers, with long queues forming for it. People use plastic bags as toilets, and this filth spreads everywhere. This is happening not only in Donetsk - water is supplied once every two days in a number of other cities, including Mariupol. This is how Russia 'liberated' Donbas. Why is this happening? In the past three and a half years - since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - reservoirs in Donetsk Oblast have significantly dried up. The water supply system from the Siverskyi Donets River was destroyed. The region’s reservoirs and underground water sources are not enough to meet the needs of the population, in part due to the extensive network of coal mines. When the self-proclaimed “DPR” and “LPR” were created in 2014, Ukraine did not cut off this water channel, as it was still supplying water to Mariupol, which remained under Ukrainian control. But at the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, the situation changed: the Russian army, during its offensive, destroyed a unique hydraulic structure that had supplied the region’s largest cities with water. The Russian authorities decided to build a new canal - the Don–Donbas canal - which was supposed to begin in the Rostov-on-Don area. It soon became clear that the new water pipeline, first of all, could not provide the region with the necessary amount of water, and second, it was built with numerous violations, with a large portion of the budget embezzled during construction. Crimea is also suffering from a water shortage, and the situation is worsening. One of the reasons why Russia is striving to seize southern Ukraine is that it sees this as a way to "solve the water issue" for the occupied territories.show more

Today we took a major step forward in executing... the strategy outlined. 20.23% of the $PEPEWH supply has now been moved into the multisig. This capital is dedicated to growth initiatives including exchange listings, market making, artist collaborations, and other key drivers needed to scale the project properly. This is a direct reflection of the lessons learned. Supply is being managed with intention, and resources are being deployed where they create real impact. The dev wallets will continue to buy dips, and as always, any rewards generated will be reinvested back into the chart. Alignment remains the priority. The goal is to build more than just another token. We are building a coordinated effort between communities that share a common vision and are committed to executing together. The targets remain unchanged. 10 million is the first milestone. 100 million is the next. There is a clear path for a project built on two globally recognized meme archetypes to reach those levels when backed by discipline, transparency, and consistent execution. This is how we move forward. Together. Official links below...👇 Dexscreener: Dextools: Telegram: Contract: H21gP58wVqK4cFJTNcWdcwDxT8A2y7Lek1mYRxQGpumpshow more

Contrail lesson! 1. “Chemtrails” don’t exist. Just to get... that out of the way. 2. Observe the satellite loop and Skew-T chart. In the IR satellite loop you can see yesterday, the West Coast had a decent short wave ridge suppressing moisture over California and Nevada. Today, you can see moisture from a low pressure over the Pacific spilling over the ridge that is now moving east of California. This is upper level moisture ADVECTING into the area. This upper level moisture is mainly above the 500mb level, or 20,000ft. 3. Now observe the Skew-T chart. Particularly clue into the 300mb level. This is a perfect example of what I talk about all the time, and why it’s important to pay attention to the 300mb level. This moisture layer is advecting particularly at the 300mb level, and synoptic scale cirrus development, and advection, typically occurs at 300mb. This is key because aircraft are flying at and above the 300mb level. 4. So, lastly, observe the pictures that I took of the sky over northern Nevada at the time of this post. You can see the layer of cirrus as well as contrails persisting in that moisture layer, exactly as depicted in the satellite shot AND confirmed by the Skew-T chart. Keep in mind that temperatures at this level of the atmosphere are typically -20 to -50°C. In this case, you can see that the temperature at 300mb is -40°C and relative humidities at this level are far different than what you experience at the surface. Any decrease in the gap between temperature and dewpoint at this level can significantly increase the relative humidity. This is why it’s referred to as “relative”because it’s far different than temperatures and dew points at the surface. So, to bring it all together, aircraft flying at these altitudes, which most commercial and military aircraft do, injecting warm, moist air from the engines rapidly into the super cooled environment, not only instantly form contrails, but when relative humidities are as depicted in this example, will enable contrails to persist for hours at a time supported by the moisture existing in that layer. This is what causes persistent contrails. These ARE NOT “chemtrails” and because they persist, does not, and will not ever, make them “chemtrails.” Now that you all needed your government to tell you that climate change was a hoax and I’ve been telling you for years that the “Geoengineering” and “chemtrail” nonsense are propaganda directly related to the climate change hoax, hopefully you can take some time to learn the basics of the atmosphere and understand what I’m showing you here, and how it works, so you’re not fooled by climate propaganda going forward. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 💪🏼🇺🇸show more

IMAGINE THIS You’re stranded in the middle of the... ocean. Your boat is sinking. You know you’re going to drown. Then you see a rescue ship. It’s got food, water, and the ability to save you. But as it gets closer, you notice it’s flying an Israeli flag, so you tell it to turn back. That’s Iran today. In Tehran, taps are dry and water is now rationed from trucks in the streets. These trucks will run dry too. Meanwhile, Israel has water security and even water excess, enough to export 10% of Jordan’s supply. And Jordan only gets it because it has peace with us. If Iran wanted peace, they could have water. Instead, they’d rather sink than be rescued by the one ship that can save them.show more

Today, at Redeemer’s University Redeemer's University, Ede, Osun State,... I was glad to commission the new Institute of Genomics and Global Health, marking a significant evolution from ACEGID’s @acegid status as a center of excellence. This moment is not only a proud achievement for all those involved, but it also stands as a powerful symbol of what African scientific leadership can achieve on the global stage. Under the visionary leadership of Prof Christian Happi Christian T. Happi, the team at ACEGID has made extraordinary strides in genomic research, particularly in addressing some of the most pressing infectious disease challenges of our time. The inauguration of the Institute reminds us that the work being done by the ACEGID team is a global public good, benefiting not only Nigeria and Africa but also contributing to global health security. The partnerships fostered between institutions and scientists from the Global North and South are a testament to our shared commitment to protecting and advancing human health. This collaboration has demonstrated what is possible when we work together to confront challenges that affect us all. Under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu health security remains a central pillar of our broader strategy to transform Nigeria’s health system, unlock the value chain, and improve population health outcomes. This is why supporting cutting-edge scientific research, like the work at this Institute, is essential. We need to create a health system environment with strong public health capabilities to withstand the potential and evolving threats posed by infectious diseases and the ongoing impacts of climate change. The pace at which new health threats are emerging is accelerating, and with it, the need for robust scientific responses. The innovations in genomics we are witnessing at ACEGID provide a glimmer of hope, offering us the tools we need to be better prepared for what may come. The Federal Government of Nigeria Government of Nigeria is fully committed to supporting these efforts, knowing that science must lead the way in securing a healthier future for all.show more

This isn’t Shanghai or Beijing. This is Ürümqi, the... capital of Xinjiang. A region once seen as remote is now becoming China’s rising star. Xinjiang stands as a powerful symbol of development at the crossroads of geography, strategy, and ambition. Often in the headlines for geopolitical reasons, Xinjiang is one of the most economically transformative regions in China. Geographically, Xinjiang is huge, over 1.6 million km², sharing borders with eight countries. Historically underdeveloped, it’s now becoming a key node in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), serving as a gateway for trade routes stretching from Central Asia to Europe. Economically, China has poured billions into infrastructure in Xinjiang: 🤜 New railways and expressways connecting the region to coastal hubs 🤜 Smart agriculture in the Taklamakan Basin 🤜 Investments in renewable energy, making Xinjiang one of China’s largest producers of wind and solar power 🤜 Urbanization and digital infrastructure in cities like Urumqi and Kashgar Incomes of Uyghurs are rising, access to education and healthcare is expanding, and industrial zones are attracting businesses in textiles, logistics, and high-tech. Xinjiang’s GDP has more than doubled over the last decade. Xinjiang is a case of regional convergence policy in action, where China invests heavily to reduce the gaps of income and development between western China and the eastern seaboard. China-haters often miss something fundamental! Development in Xinjiang is a part of China’s macroeconomic vision for national resilience, cross-border trade influence, energy and strategic security. As an economist living in China for over a decade, I can say this with confidence, Xinjiang is undergoing undeniable and significant development which is inspiring.show more

🇨🇦 Canada’s new defence plan reads like a diplomatic... alarm bell: America’s closest neighbour is preparing to spend dramatically more on its military while deliberately cutting its dependence on U.S. defence suppliers. Ottawa’s target is to lift defence and security spending to NATO’s new benchmark of 5 percent of GDP by 2035, with the plan structured around rebuilding Canadian production capacity and scaling a domestic defence industry that can actually deliver at volume. The sharpest signal is procurement. Canada intends to steer roughly 70 percent of defence acquisition spending to Canadian firms, up from about half today, explicitly to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers and to build “national champions” at home. The strategy also frames this as an economic programme as much as a security one, tied to jobs, exports, and industrial growth. And yes, the subtext is bigger than Canada. This is what allied “de-risking” looks like in real time: not a press release about shared values, but a hard pivot of contracts, supply chains, and long term capability planning away from the United States. Every U.S. ally is “leaving” overnight, and Canada is demonstrating a new instinct spreading across the alliance: prepare for a world where Washington is no longer the the popular guy.
