It is deeply disheartening to realize that this land has already been allocated to the same vested interests behind these midnight demolitions carried out without a shred of empathy. Development is necessary, but it should not consistently come at the expense of the poor. Nigeria is already hard enough.... show more

one thing about being gay that isn't talked about nearly as much as it should is that distance for us is not the same as it is for other people.

The tax men don’t even care about source of your income, all they want is to tax it. Nigerians are not ready for these taxes at this time! The Nigerian problem is not a revenue problem, it is that we have squandamaniacs in power. #nigeria #taxes

I wanted to be soft on Bayo Onanuga this morning, but I won’t. He was supposed to take down that post about VDM, especially now that it has been confirmed to be fake. Is this not the same Bayo Onanuga who declared that 2023 should be the last time Igbo people interfere in Lagos politics? And that Lagos is not a no man’s land and that it is a Yoruba land. — Rufai Oseni..

It is truly disappointing that the Lagos APC is abusing state institutions by sealing off the venue where the ADC was scheduled to hold a meeting tomorrow after obtaining the necessary approvals. This is not only an abuse of power, it is a clear attempt to stifle opposition voices in Lagos. We understand that the APC is jittery about the momentum the ADC and obidients is building across the state, but deploying state security agencies to frustrate lawful political activities is unacceptable and undemocratic. Lagos belongs to all of us, not a select few. And it is our constitutional right to assemble lawfully. Let it be clear that no amount of intimidation or harassment will stop us from engaging with the people of Lagos. Our movement is powered by the people, and no barricade or show of force can weaken their resolve for a better Lagos. #OURLAGOS

Oh my God 💔😩. This is heartbreaking. Thankfully the woman survived, otherwise we would be saying RIP. When we raised concerns about Ham’s development along the Nakivubo Channel, many people said we were opposing development. But that was never the case. Speaking up about poor planning is not opposing development 😥, it is demanding responsible and thoughtful development. It is painful to keep seeing ordinary people suffer the same losses again and again, while the powerful continue to benefit from the pain and sweat of others. Today, just small rains can flood the city. That alone should be a warning that something is not right. In Uganda, it is always the poor who suffer the most. They are the ones who lose homes, businesses, and livelihoods whenever disasters like flooding happen. What makes it even more frustrating is that we already have many serious problems that affect people every day. Yet you still find money being allocated to things that do not address the real issues in the country at all. has become a repeated cycle ; rains come, the city floods, people lose property and livelihoods, and then silence follows. When leaders finally speak, it is often only speeches instead of real solutions.

Rebuilding #Gaza is not just about structures. It is about understanding the enormous trauma Palestinian children in Gaza have suffered. It is about healing, psychologically, as well as physically. It is about hope, about engendering a sense that the future is worth living for. That the future is worth fighting for. Link to the full speech at a community event in support of children of Gaza at the Scottish House in London:

John Major, "One aspect of reducing immigration would be to make it more palatable for migrants to remain in their own countries" "That is why the policy of cutting aid and investment to poor countries is a very poor sighted policy" "It will accelerate the demand from the countries to migrate as their countries get poorer" "It's a policy that acts against our own domestic interest" "It is morally wrong, politically wrong, and heartless"

This is Agnimitra Paul. She is the Minister of Urban Development and Municipal Affairs in the BJP government of West Bengal "You cannot heat milk for a baby on the street!" — this single sentence exposes how ruthless the class character of power truly is. The occupation of footpaths by the poor is noticed, but the encroachment of streets by the cars of the rich is conveniently ignored! If urban policy is not about developing the city but rather "evict the poor, protect the rich"—then who is this development actually for? There is no space to heat a baby's milk, and no shelter for the homeless—yet they are the ones being criminalized. Do the state and the city exist for the people, or merely to protect the interests of the propertied class?

“Not proud of it. Man enough to say it.” Wait till you realize that Democrats have been voting for your interests and the only reason that you despise them is because you’re still listening to the echo chambers that you’ve already just admitted have fooled you.

The conversation is no longer about how hard Lagos works. It's now about who Lagos is working for. For too long, the system has worked only for a few. But Lagos should work for all of us. Not just the connected. Not just the lucky. Not just the powerful. ALL of us. I'm Funso Doherty. And I'm ready to work with you to create a Lagos that works for everyone. #OTiYa #ItIsTime #FunsoDoherty #LagosDecides

Elon Musk: Shallow empathy is caring about criminals. Deep empathy is caring about the victims of the criminals. “The good interpretation of the woke movement is that we want to have empathy for our fellow human beings. Of course, we want to have empathy for our fellow humans. I strongly believe we should care about humanity, and we should care about the future. But we need to have empathy that is deep, not shallow. Shallow empathy is caring about criminals. Deep empathy is caring about the victims of the criminals. Why do we have repeat violent offenders released on the streets, often with no bail? They prey upon people, innocent people, and then our streets are not safe. How can America be the greatest country in the world, and we don't even have safe streets? This is crazy.” Harrisburg, October 19, 2024

My take on it all is the average Canadian is not that stupid, and they understand the importance of having economic ties with US and many countries around the world. To say that we're not going to do business with a country that, traditionally for over a hundred years bought 75% of our output, that's sheer stupidity. That has to be worked out, and to me, it's just a giant NAFTA 3 negotiation. If you think Trump doesn't like Pierre, well, then you want Pierre because he would be the stronger negotiator. But he's also conservative, so is the American government. It's not about one individual or another at the end of the day, and this is why Canadians, I think, are gonna figure this out in this election. It's about the policy, the policies of the countries. Is it pro-business? Is it pro-growth? Is it pro-energy? All of these things matter. Canada has fallen to the bottom through poor policy. Now, do you want more of that? Because that's what it sounds like you're getting if you vote for Carney. You get more. It's just Trudeau 2.0.
