GUESS WHAT?—YOU WILL HAVE ENEMIES!
I had been stuck for an opening to this column, when I began to think about social media and the thousands of people who are addicted to having their postings being ‘liked’. I’ve even read about some teens and millennials committing suicide over the lack of likes on their social media pages and postings. Some of them listed among the dead were—surprise—social media influencers!
Let an old P-school Ranger clue you in on one key fact of life. You WI
IT’S SIMPLE: THE RABBLE WERE ROUSED!
Many of the pollsters, Democrat pundits, social engineers, ‘wizards of smart’, the ‘shrews of The View’, the elites and the billionaire and celebrity classes got it wrong again as to why Donald Trump won re-election as the nation’s 47th President. Let me spell it out in very clear terms: The Rabble Were Roused! Folks of every stripe, color, economic class and social position made their way to the polls and sent Mr. Trump BACK to Washington with a very
WHEN DID OUR BLACK HISTORY BECOME HATE SPEECH? PART 1
I know that I will cause more than a few eyebrows to be raised based on the title of my column for today. However, I trust that I’ll be able to unpack a reasonable explanation in order for we as a people to stop being programmed by the world system and get back to being a godly, prosperous and God-fearing people.
Let me lead off with this observation about myself. I’m a fan of US Military History. The late four-star Gen. George
The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) has signed a landmark, multi-stakeholder Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with strategic partners to enhance collaborative efforts aimed at accelerating access to clean, reliable, and sustainable energy for unserved, underserved, and peri-urban communities across Nigeria.
The signing ceremony took place in Abuja, and marks a significant step towards driving innovation and expanding renewable energy solutions in key institutions in Nigeria. With an active hi
A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 11
We’ve spent much of a great year together, examining the components of manhood that you—my young brother—will need to become an upright man in a society full of males who are not sure in what direction they are traveling. Who knows? There may come a time when you can pass on your knowledge to another young brother, as I have been blessed to pass on what I have learned in life to you.
I just have a few other things to impart to you, to ad
A QUICK REFRESHER: MISS RIGHT VS MS WRONG PART 2
Based upon the responses which I have gotten to my first column, again, I have dusted off this list from about 20 years ago and are posting the hits for the brotherhood. Keep in mind that you may feel free to start your own list. However, since many young men were not around when I first wrote on this subject, and since there are new generations of young man who have been raised in a feminized American society, I continue with this next col
REAL MEN DON’T NAG
The time seems right to address this topic, considering what men have been facing. But first, let me start off from the top of the deck. Some of my male friends who are married have mostly daughters, and few-to-no sons. Now, I’ve noticed something about these brothers, when it comes to relating to and talking with other brothers—there seems to be a little nagging in their voices.
Maybe, they are upset because they haven’t been blessed with sons.
Maybe, they
Facts of the Matter: Governor Sim Vs Martins Amaehule and 26 Members of the RSHA
It is not about being eloquent; matters of the Judiciary are not for eloquent speakers or natural thinkers. Court orders are Orders where Reliefs are sought! As long as Orders have been made, they are enforceable until a higher court says otherwise. And that is why the Appellant, Gov Fubara is on his way to the Supreme Court even though his case is helpless. Only a political Solution can help him now.

TWO SAYINGS AND TWO SINS
Of the quotes I have been blessed to have collected over the years, these two have impact on this month’s column. They come from two different eras but are pretty much on the same side of the same coin. The first saying comes from one of my heroes, Booker T. Washington. Here is his quote: “A whining, crying race may be pitied…but seldom respected.”
Let me break this first saying down as it reflects upon our race in these last days. While many of our youn
BORDER ATTACK AND WHAT HISTORY TEACHES THE PREPARED
In picking up where I left off in our last thrill-packed episode, we were talking about the third ‘time shift’ concerning Modern Street Gangs. The influx of foreign gang and cartel members, illegals with gang ties, and terrorists fueled by witchcraft, satanic worship and demonic infestation—along with hard-core narcotics--have made their way from the southern—and northern borders—into a variety of states.
History has repeated itself
Sahara Energy has had a good chance of being accepted as an operator for the Ogoni oil fields. In 2019, when the news first broke out about Sahara's interest and maneuvers to assume the operatorship of the oilfields, IMOSOP made frantic efforts to contact Sahara for a dialogue and was turned down.
The mindset suggested that the government had backed the deal between Sahara and the NNPC and any opposition against the deal would likely be crushed with the force of state.
MOSOP's eventual rejection
Harlem’s rich cultural legacy has birthed countless artists who have redefined the sound and soul of hip-hop. Enter Rio Grinday, a 23-year-old rap/hip-hop sensation hailing from the storied streets of Harlem, NY. Following in the footsteps of legends like Big L and ASAP Rocky, Rio Grinday emerges with a project that is as raw as it is relatable: “SOULFUL PAIN Project.”
“SOULFUL PAIN Project” is not

The gesture is expected to assist their reading time in situations of power shortage.
Presenting the lamps, Managing Director of the company, Mr Matthieu Bouyer, reaffirmed the organization's readiness to develop the host communities, especially the welfare of children at the grassroots.

HBCU OR NOT HBCU—A RECRUITMENT ISSUE? PART 1
A few years back, I got into a heated discussion with a member of a local organization dedicated to helping young Black men and women to attend the college of their choice. Keep in mind that this local organization had been ‘discovered’ by the local Caucasian money brokers and were now ‘flush with cash’. Thus, the group—in my humble opinion—did not have to ‘recruit’ young Black students from the ‘hood’ anymore, meaning urban schools.

A University lecturer, Dr Clara Ifeanyi-Obi, has called on government and policy makers in Nigeria to initiate gender-based Agricultural policies to encourage more women involvement in agricultural activities.
Ifeanyi-Obi, a Senior lecturer at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers state made the suggestion at the monthly congress of the Organisation for Women in Science for Developing World, on Friday in Port Harcourt the Rivers State capital
SOME NEW DEFINITIONS FOR OUR TIMES
I got a good chuckle over the recent double announcement by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters National Union. On the one hand, for the first time since 1996, the Teamsters will NOT be endorsing a candidate for President in this 2024 election cycle. The other half of the announcement could be seen as a major disaster for the Democrats, as the rank-and-file—by a 60 to 31 percent margin—said that they would be voting for Donald Trump this fall.
A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 10
I am writing this column during the political season. Politics is something that should interest a young Black man because of the stakes that are involved. Further, it is wise that you begin to understand the political process of this nation while you are young and of a sober and keen mind. Black folk helped to build this country and are owed a debt FROM this country in the way of reparations. Thus, I would advise any young Black man to know
***Reject Okpebholo, Akpata
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, on Wednesday received the full backing of leading activists, civil society groups, lawyers, journalists and political leaders from all parts of Edo State.
“Asue Ighodalo is the best man for the job. We’re looking forward to his election”, the professionals said.
They also described the APC governorship candidate as dull, cold and colourless.
“Asue Ighodalo is serious minded, purpose
JOURNALISM 1-0-WHAT?
The same (legacy) liberal media that calls for others to recuse themselves out of leadership positions for the ‘slightest hint’ of impropriety, turn to the public stone-faced and get indignant when their conflicts of interest are pointed out. Especially Black liberal members of the press.
After watching the recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on ABC—and within 48 hours of the debate finding out that Harris and ABC Co-Moderator Linsey Davis were Sor
