One reason why the anti-feminist movement does not succeed is that every generation eventually realises that women’s rights are human rights.
Anyway, feminism has existed for centuries, before many of your forefathers were even born, so none of you has the power to end it. 😊
Men before you tried too, they chased women away from gatherings, even attempted to silence them, & it has never worked.
You can only wail!💀

An IDF statement issued yesterday stated a 14 year old boy was shot dead in the West Bank on Monday, because he planned to throw stones at them. Not threw stones, PLANNED, to throw stones.
This is Zionism.

ICE detained USF professor and Bay Area nurse Dr. Ann Lawani at her home and took her away in shackles. That was 8 week ago! A judge blocked her deportation to Nigeria.
She oversees 200+ nursing students. Rep. Harder says she complied with immigration requirements and was moved through multiple states to Louisiana in violation of a court order.
Trump’s ICE says it targets public safety threats. She’s a hospice nurse. nbcbayarea.com/news/local/an… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #ICE #Immigration #BayArea #USF #Nurses

Nazis didn’t sink this low to white wash their Holocaust. In fact they tried their best to hide it from the world.

Six weeks ago, the captain of a Japanese container ship was hit by severe abdominal pain in the North Pacific. The nearest U.S. rescue helicopter was more than 1,000 miles away.
His ship, the One Majesty, was 58 miles south of Adak, Alaska. He was 58 years old and he needed a hospital.
There was no hospital. There was ocean in every direction.
The U.S. Coast Guard in Kodiak launched an MH-60 Jayhawk anyway.
A thousand miles is Tampa to New York. No helicopter flies that in one hop.
So the Jayhawk hopped down the Aleutian Islands, refueling at Dutch Harbor and again at Adak.
That solved the fuel. It did not solve the crew. Nobody should fly a thousand miles through Aleutian weather and then hold a hover over a moving ship.
So the Alaska Air National Guard sent an HC-130J. It carried a fresh Coast Guard helicopter crew and two pararescuemen out to Adak to take over.
And if that one helicopter broke down out there?
A second Jayhawk flew to Cold Bay just to stand by.
The fresh crew flew the last 58 miles over open water with the HC-130J watching from above. They lowered the hoist to the deck and lifted the captain off.
Back at Adak he was moved onto the HC-130J and flown to Anchorage.
Two Coast Guard helicopters. One Air Guard rescue plane. A relief crew. Two pararescuemen. More than a thousand miles.
All of it for one Japanese sailor none of them had ever met.
From Japan: we saw this. Thank you.

There was a time when several of my friends and some really talented analysts left Tiger Global Management. One of them offered me an opportunity to leave with him, and I thought to myself, perhaps I should go too.
But I genuinely loved working at Tiger, so I went to my boss and said, “Look, this guy has offered me an opportunity to leave with him, but I genuinely love working here and would like to stay. The only problem is that I am not sure how I am doing. I feel like I am not performing as well as I should, and I would like to know where I stand.”
He reassured me, saying, “You are amazing. Please stay.”
Just one month later, he had already found my replacement. When the opportunity presented itself, he fired me.
That taught me a very important lesson, particularly on Wall Street. You are either fully in or off the boat. There is no in-between.
One thing that the midterm election has revealed is that electoral systems in most states and counties in the US are broken and inefficient. Unfortunately, I don't see many political office holders speaking and working to fix this.

In Nigeria, okpa is a traditional delicacy mostly sold on the streets. Meet a woman who has been selling okpa for over twenty years. Despite the gruelling journey, Victoria has put her four children through school.

I agree. Jesus might be the central figure of Christianity, but Paul's letters have profoundly influenced how Christians explain the meaning of Jesus, salvation, faith, grace, and the Church. There are 27 books in the New Testament, and Paul is credited with writing 17.
Controversial as it may be, I believe the modern Pentecostal movement reflects Paul more than Jesus(which shouldn’t be the case), since many practices here are interpreted through Paul’s strictness in his letters and doctrines—even though he was the most flexible apostle regarding Jewish laws.

mediocre about social/structural conditions. really ambitious/almost delusional about personal lives. interesting mix and little attempt to see that one affects the other.
Nigeria is the only place Ik people are content with being mediocre so much that if you suggest improving conditions, theyd see it as impossible.

You guys are misunderstanding the post. These people aren’t excited simply because it’s a tarred road. They’re excited because scenery like this along a road is relatively rare in Nigeria, which is why they go there to take pictures and enjoy the view. Nigeria has thousands of tarred roads, as shown in the video below. Many people know this, but the whole thing is just banter. This is coming from a Ghanaian who trolls Nigerians, but when it comes to facts, I’ll always be truthful.

The war and blockade have had a significant negative impact on the Iranian economy, but the impact on economic output has been smaller than most people realize.
After six months of war, the decline in Iran's non-oil economic output was smaller than the impact of the pandemic on US economy activity after the same period.
The decline was also only about *one-seventh* of the contraction seen in Ukrainian economic output within six months of the Russian invasion.
Iran's economy is not on the verge of collapse, it is simply experiencing a deep recession caused by an external shock.

Citizenship by Investment would face greater restrictions in the future. Govts are concerned that it's been exploited by individuals seeking to evade sanctions and conceal beneficial ownership.
The EU has become one of the strongest opponents of investor citizenship schemes.
I had a discussion with a prospective client who was considering obtaining a second passport through Citizenship by Investment. He was surprised & disappointed when I explained that his country of birth, which in this case is Nigeria, would also be reflected in such a passport.

Nigerian men lamenting that they are stuck with Nigerian women because they don’t have the money to japa or travel abroad, I’ve taken my time to put together a list for you.
There are African countries around Nigeria that you can travel to by road, and the transport fares aren’t
When I was a law student at uni & law school, I loved that law students, unlike others, had mandatory formal dress. It eliminated the need to constantly plan what to wear & also erased social class differences. Irrespective of your status, we are all going to wear Black & White.
School uniforms have a major advantage: they help erase social class differences. This itself can be a good reason to implement them. Also, they don’t have to be formal and uncomfortable. It could simply be a hoodie. That’s what I support.
