What are the odds that this same accident that Anthony Joshua survived but unfortunately got two other people killed could have happened to him in the UK where he is based? I admit that accident can happen anywhere in the world, but I know that an overloaded truck would... never be allowed on the road in the UK. And I also know that UK roads will never degenerate to the appalling condition that Ogun State roads have become. OK, let's assume that the accident did happen to him in the UK, do you think there won't be any ambulance at all in the accident scene? All I am trying to point out is that Nigeria roads are death traps and it is very necessary for the government to fix the roads. If the government wants to tax Nigerians like other western countries tax their people, the government should at least provide the basic amenities for the benefit of the masses. I know some people will still say that I hate Nigeria and its government but I don't care how they feel. Ìwọ̀fà l'ẹnu. Anyone living abroad but still supports the anyhowness and poor living condition that the government has subjected the people to is the one who truly hates Nigerians. I wish AJ a quick recovery and I pray that the souls of the departed victims find an eternal rest.show more

“Those Of You Saying Anthony Joshua Should Go Back To The UK And That He Should Never Have Visited Nigeria Should Shut Up. You’re Criticizing Nigeria And Blaming Bad Roads For The Accident, As If Accidents Don’t Happen In The UK Too. Do You Know How Many People Die In The UK Every Day From Road Accidents? Even The Ambulance Are Not Always On Time Here In The UK”~ UK-Based Nigerian

If I ever see PBAT, First thing i will do is that I’ll give him a very big hug for saving us from the shame of this airport. For over a decade, Nigerians and foreigners complained endlessly about its condition, yet nothing meaningful was done. At least President Buhari tried to improve things, but many problems still remained. What I appreciate about this administration is that they understand that a travel experience starts from the airport. In fact, if I had my way, I would not only remodel the airport, but also upgrade the roads leading to it, the surrounding environment, adjoining roads to ikeja City, and even the routes connecting to the Island. These things make powerful statements. The way people perceive an airport and its environment affects how they see the country, the people, and even the government itself. One thing I’m truly grateful for is that this administration and the aviation team clearly understand the assignment. 📍MMIA undergoing Total Rehabilitation ✈️🇳🇬

LUNA: “If you know that you are going to get hit, and if you know you’re going to have people die, ultimately I would never want to have be in that position as the president.” “But what I will tell you is I would rather be on the right side and be able to control the outcome of something that I know is going to happen regardless.” MAHER: “I…I have to…I have to agree.”

The reason that this extra diverse doctor lawyer equal does not respond as normal to simple explanations has to do with theory of mind. The police officer explains six times that she caused an accident and now has to provide her insurance. The diverse equal knows that she caused the accident. She remembers it from mere moments ago. However, the police officer was not there during the accident. She did not see him there. Therefore, according to diversity mathematics, the police officer could not possibly know that there was an accident at all. How could he? He did not see it. Or rather, she did not see him seeing it. "If I did not see the police officer looking at me as I caused an accident, then he does not know that I caused an accident. I know this because I am unable to know anything that I did not personally witness, and so that is how everybody's mind works." In the vibrant mind of the diversity, everything that does not happen in front of a person's eyes is a confusing mess that is impossible to understand. There simply is no way to ascertain that something happened if you did not see it before your eyes. That is why this extra diverse value contributor believes that the police officer is similarly confused. "It should be easy to get away with lying about this accident," she calculated, diversely. "He ain't see nothin.'" That is why, when he insists that the accident did in fact occur, she has no choice but to perceive this as racism. How could it not be? Every other diverse equal that she has ever lied to in a similar fashion has been easily confused, and let her go after committing similar crimes. So in the mind of the diversity, "black people always let me go when I lie, but white people never do, so white people must just be evil racists." We are truly enriched by the genius of these builders of civilization

Gaza: The West can no longer preach to us about its HYPOCRITICAL values of ‘freedom’, ‘equality’, and ‘human rights’ ‘There are a lot of values that have been promoted in the West that have been proven hypocritical, to be honest. We live in the West. We thought that liberty and equality and the rule of international law is prevalent and that these countries are based on democracy and people have the absolute power. But then when the genocide came, all these values have been exposed. I no longer believe in any of these values. I believe in the principle with these values. But I don’t believe that the Western countries can ever preach to us about human rights or international law or democracy or freedom or equality. I don’t understand what that means anymore in the West, but also at the same time in the UK. The people in the UK have proven to be a people who care for justice, for freedom, for dignity. We have seen a huge massive protest that went out in support of Palestine and in support of the Palestinian people. But unfortunately their government has never represented them in the way that they deserve.’ -Ahmed Alnaouq, Co-Founder of We Are Not Numbers, on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

Abdul El-Sayed: “I know that antisemitism exists and it’s a very dangerous force. But I also know that trying to meld the interests of Judaism and the Jewish people with the interests of a Super PAC and a foreign government itself risks exacerbating antisemitism because just like I don’t want to be held accountable for what the Egyptian government does because I share ethnicity with the people who live in Egypt, I don’t think Jewish people in Michigan or America want to be held accountable for what the Israeli government does”

This Guy is right about Why the Epstein List will NOT be released. He says “…it’s because the names on that list would literally cause society to crumble. The trust would be gone in governments and everything in theaters and movies the richest people in the world would crash. And the richest people in the world are not gonna allow that which is why it's not being released. Why because the top F*cking people in the world are on that goddamn list and I think it needs to be released…” I already have no trust for the people in the Government, movie, music industries, etc and I definitely will NOT be shocked at who is on that list, but what I will be shocked about is if they do release the Epstein List.

"Nigerians have no idea what they did for me. I feel like I am a Nigerian." Beyoncé "Nigerians have done so much for me and gave me so much hope and made me feel like I have a home and purpose in Africa. I have a lot of fans around the world's but they can't compare to the fans I have in Nigeria. The things I saw in Nigeria are contrary to the narrative people push on social media about them. I know that my roots are from Africa, and Nigeria is like my home in Africa. And I can confidently tell you that Nigeria is the best country in Africa. I had no idea that people even knew me in Nigeria until I went there. I was nervous about performing in Nigeria because I was afraid they didn't listen to my songs, but they knew everything. Nigerians have some of the most creative and good artists in the world." Beyoncé

#WATCH | Cape Town, South Africa: At the Cape Town Conversation, Former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed says "We had presidential elections and there is a new govt. The new government will follow a different foreign policy but I can't see how that can change our relationship with India. I do know that there was some rhetoric on asking Indian troops in Maldives to leave but I don't think this is the path that the people of Maldives would benefit from. I have spoken in the Parliament and will continue to speak to my people giving my view that our future lies in an ever-stronger relationship with India. I believe that the new government will come to understand the intricacies of this"

Elon Musk: Maybe the biggest danger associated with AI and robotics is that governments use them to suppress the population. “Maybe the biggest danger for AI and robotics going wrong is government. People who are opposed to corporations or worried about corporations should really worry the most about government, because government is just a corporation in the limit. Government is just the biggest corporation with a monopoly on violence. I always find it a strange dichotomy where people would think corporations are bad, but the government is good, when the government is simply the biggest and worst corporation. But people have that dichotomy. They somehow think at the same time the government can be good, but corporations bad. And this is not true. Corporations have better morality than the government. That is the thing to be worried about. The government could potentially use AI and robotics to suppress the population. That is a serious concern.” Interview with John Collison and Dwarkesh Patel, February 5, 2026

“When I asked the people of Katsina State for the honour of leading them, I did not come with empty words. I came with a blueprint, a clear, deliberate vision for what this state could become. And at the very heart of that blueprint was a conviction I have carried for many years: that the greatest investment any government can make is not in roads or buildings, but in the minds of its children.”

See President wey una dey pity. Somebody that is building road on top of mountain.🤣🙆‍♀️ I told you, if you see any road that is not in good condition, happily tag the President. He knows what he came for. That Lagos–Cotonou/Badagry road, it is child’s play for him. And this is even the perfect time to fix it. Those claiming they are the ones that will save Nigeria are not going to do anything. They don’t even have the kind of time the President is dedicating to fixing roads. They will come and waste eight years and go their way. I know what I’m saying. This particular President knows what he came for. Stop pitying him on certain things,tag him with confidence and leave the rest. He will fix it. That road is a priority. It should reflect the prestige of Nigeria so that when people enter, they will nod their head and say, yes, I am in Nigeria. To those claiming to be messiahs, they dont even have any reasonable achievements, but that is a story for another day. One thing you can take home is that when it’s their turn, they will not even do anything. However, that is not the point. The point is this: now that President Tinubu is in office, if you see anything that needs fixing and it is not already captured in the plan or budget, tag him immediately and leave the rest. Because it is when he leaves that people will understand what I’m saying. Not everyone can be like him. Yes, this administration has its shortcomings, and Nigeria is a lot. But that is not the essence of this post. The Lagos–Badagry road is small thing for the President. He is doing even more than this. So with confidence, tag him and the relevant authorities. They know what to do. 📍 Gembu, Sardauna LGA, Taraba State, Nigeria 🇳🇬

Anthony Joshua has been involved in a car crash that left two people dead, and was rushed to the hospital not in an ambulance, but in a police van. This is negligence. Nigeria is witnessing a pattern of fatal crashes on broken roads the government still refuses to fix. #RejectTaxScam

While other countries like Ireland and Spain have acted to protect their people from the cost of living crisis, the UK government is missing in action. If Westminster won’t deliver urgent support, they should get out the way for a government that will.

The last few weeks have been mentally draining as an Iranian who hates the Islamic Republic and wants them out, but who also hates war, or the idea of a prolonged war that will hurt the iranian people. If I post that I am against a prolonged war, I am told that I'm a traitor, that I wished this on my people and get called 100 different names. If I post that I want the Regime out, I am told that I'm bending the knee to Trump, that I am a war mongerer and also get called 100 different names. There is no winning on social media, there has never been, but what I find shockin is the inability for people to have more balanced opinions. Not everything is all or nothing. Do I think this war is for the liberation of the Iranian people? Absolutely not, it's business as usual. Do I think that the current Regime in Iran is good? Absolutely not, they are terrorists who murder their own people for protesting, and they need to be taken out. At the end of the day I care about one thing and one thing only and that's for the liberation of my people. Since people don't read on X, here's a video of my thoughts.

Me: I discuss in the book—it refers to the state where I know something, you know something, I know that you know it, you know that I know it, I know that you know that I know it, and so on ad infinitum. So it differs a bit from the conventional usage, which just refers to something that everyone knows. Here, everyone has to know that everyone knows. Times Radio Interviewer (Daniel Finkelstein Daniel Finkelstein): Can I use this with reference to the interview that I did yesterday with my brother? My brother’s a professor at City University; he’s president of the university, and there’s a campaign at the moment going on against one of their professors who was in the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. We were having a discussion about how the university was standing up for the free speech of its staff, and I’d begun to wonder, as I went home reading your book on the tube, whether I’d made a big mistake—because the protest against this professor is really just a coordination exercise, isn’t it? And maybe I’d aided it by talking about it. Me: Oh yes—protests are coordination exercises. They’re designed to make private knowledge common knowledge. So, in a repressive regime, everyone may know that they despise the government, but because criticism of the government is punished, people might keep their opinions to themselves, with a result that they really don’t know what their fellow citizens think. Each one might think that they’re the only ones that are disgruntled, and so they can’t fear standing up to—they fear standing up to oppose the regime, because they can be picked off one at a time. If everyone were to protest at once, no government has the firepower to intimidate all its citizens at once. In a public protest, people can see other people there, and they know that the people there see other people there, and that can give them the strength and numbers to oppose the regime—sometimes by literally storming the palace, or sometimes just bringing the machinery of the state to a halt through work stoppages. But the crucial thing is that they are coordinated. They can only be coordinated if everyone knows that everyone knows that they hate the regime. Daniel Finkelstein: I suppose that social media is making people—is increasing the stock of common knowledge. We’re all much more aware of what other people like us, in particular like us, know, and we also know that other people know it, and so on, as you put it, and that makes people have more common knowledge. It’s not making us happier though; maybe we’d be better with less common knowledge? Me: Social media are making us more connected within certain circles—that is, those who are receiving the same texts and feeds that we are. It reduces the pool of, or shrinks the largest pool of common knowledge, namely the whole country, which may have been accessible in a day in which, say, in the United States there were three networks, or in Britain everyone was listening to the BBC. And yes, it probably doesn’t make us as happy, because when everything is public, it means that your reputation is on the line for anything you say or do. It means that since social media allow us to generate common knowledge, not just receive it like in the old days, it means that attacks on people’s reputation can be common knowledge, which means that it’s all the more painful for people on the receiving end of the attack. It may have something to do with the fact that in certain demographics—especially young people whose lives increasingly are online—that there’s that much more social competition, opportunities for gossip and ostracism and demeaning comments, and so on.

If everyone were to protest at once, no government has the firepower to intimidate all its citizens at once. In a public protest, people can see other people there, and they know that the people there see other people there, and that can give them the strength and numbers to oppose the regime—sometimes by literally storming the palace, or sometimes just bringing the machinery of the state to a halt through work stoppages. But the crucial thing is that they are coordinated. They can only be coordinated if everyone knows that everyone knows that they hate the regime. Daniel Finkelstein: I suppose that social media is making people—is increasing the stock of common knowledge. We’re all much more aware of what other people like us, in particular like us, know, and we also know that other people know it, and so on, as you put it, and that makes people have more common knowledge. It’s not making us happier though; maybe we’d be better with less common knowledge? Me: Social media are making us more connected within certain circles—that is, those who are receiving the same texts and feeds that we are. It reduces the pool of, or shrinks the largest pool of common knowledge, namely the whole country, which may have been accessible in a day in which, say, in the United States there were three networks, or in Britain everyone was listening to the BBC. And yes, it probably doesn’t make us as happy, because when everything is public, it means that your reputation is on the line for anything you say or do. It means that since social media allow us to generate common knowledge, not just receive it like in the old days, it means that attacks on people’s reputation can be common knowledge, which means that it’s all the more painful for people on the receiving end of the attack. It may have something to do with the fact that in certain demographics—especially young people whose lives increasingly are online—that there’s that much more social competition, opportunities for gossip and ostracism and demeaning comments, and so on.

Elon Musk: The government is a monopoly that can't go bankrupt – until it has extracted all the money from the population. "I think there are roles for the government that make sense. I don't think we necessarily want a private army or a private police force. I think there are certain things that are probably the right role for the government. But anything done by the government is going to be inefficient. Because the government is a monopoly. People who don't like corporations should not somehow think that the government is much, better because the government is a corporation in the limit. It's the ultimate corporation. But at least, private corporations can go bankrupt. And the government cannot go bankrupt unless the people go bankrupt. Basically, unless it exhausts extracting money from the population." Interview with The Babylon Bee, December 22, 2021

If you can remove Jonathan's government for a simple insecurity in the northeast, what would you be doing to the APC government? "I think we have to cut them into pieces," says Galadima They (the APC government) shouldn't presume that Nigerians are gullible and they cannot react. They should remember, and they know better that when things got to less than 10% of the situation we find ourselves in in 2015, Nigerians rose to the occasion and removed that government, he added. # PoliticsToday
