Number of People Without Access to Electricity by Country 1990-2025.
Pay attention to Nigeria and India.
Watch specifically what happens to both countries between 2015-2025.
One country ran by sensible people.
The other country ran by brainless lunatics. x.com/TheIndexMint/s…
I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.
Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.
In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.
A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.
In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.
This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.
You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.
For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.
I’m tired of pretending that all religions are equal…
There are 4,000 religions in the world.
1 is responsible for 96% of terror attacks.
George W. Bush called Islam the ‘Religion of Peace’ while we were still pulling warm bodies from Ground Zero. Since then Muslims have killed 300K more people in 64,000 separate terror attacks.
We are not equal. If you walk onto a plane and yell ‘Christ is King’ nothing will happen. Yell ‘Allah Akbar’ and you’ll get arrested. For good reason.
Islam is incompatible with western civilization and it’s suicidal to import more of it to our sacred lands.
Thanks for having me @NEWSMAX@RobFinnertyUSA
It's interesting how the news emphasis is on vulnerable Afghan and Palestinian women and girls; no mention of the fact that this resettlement route will include husbands and sons. Why is there no refugee route for vulnerable Christians fleeing the horrors of Sudan and Nigeria?
"Government will reopen the UK resettlement route in partnership with the United Nations," Shabana Mahmood says
Around a quarter of arrivals will be Afghan women and girls, and Palestinians "who have fled the horrors of Gaza", the home secretary adds

Did you know? Since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999, President Tinubu is the first Nigerian president to miss the UN General Assembly for three consecutive years.

I have followed with deep concern the developments surrounding the reported freezing of the bank accounts of the Osun State Government by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), coming just days before the governorship election.
Let me reiterate that I have always supported a relentless fight against corruption. However, that fight must never become a tool for political intimidation or the suppression of democracy. No institution, however important, should be used in a manner that creates the impression of influencing the electoral process.
The timing of this action raises legitimate questions. If investigations had been ongoing for months, why take such a drastic step on the eve of an election? In a democracy, institutions must not only be impartial but must also be seen to be impartial.
What is increasingly troubling is the growing perception that state institutions are being deployed to achieve political ends and secure power at all costs. This is dangerous for our democracy. Governments come and go, but once institutions lose their independence and credibility, the nation suffers.
If there is evidence of wrongdoing, the Constitution provides a clear path: seek the appropriate orders from a competent court. Due process is the foundation of justice. No agency should exercise powers beyond those granted by law.
I call on all relevant authorities to act strictly within the Constitution and ensure that nothing undermines the credibility of the Osun Governorship Election. The people of Osun must be allowed to freely determine their future through the ballot, without intimidation or institutional interference.
Nigeria’s democracy was built on sacrifice. We must not allow it to be weakened by the misuse of institutions or the pursuit of political advantage.

When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
Hamas was elected by Gazans.
In 2005 Israel withdrew completely, removed every Jew, and handed them the territory.
They chose Hamas and terror.
Since then, Hamas has started every war.
They hide behind civilians.
On October 7, 2023 they broke a ceasefire, murdered 1,200 people, and kidnapped hundreds.
Recent polls show over 70% of Gazans still support Hamas.
Hostages were told by their captors:
“Take our guns and we’ll kill you with stones, with our hands.”
When will people finally admit this is driven by Islamist extremism — not “grievances”?
@TRobinsonNewEra You’re being too kind to her. Your kindness to her is actually unkindness to the rest of us. There is absolutely no reason to tolerate that kind of threat that she made.

From the days of the military up till today, the Catholic bishops of Nigeria are renown and reputable for always speaking truth to power.
These are not men with wives,
You can’t use women to blackmail them.
These are not men with children,
You can’t kidnap their kids to blackmail them.
These are not men who want fame,
You can’t use the allure of celebrity to compromise them.
These are not men who chase money.
You can’t use the offer of bribes or dirty lucre to compromise them.
These are not men who seek material things. You can’t use private jets to make them bend or buy their conscience.
They are not Daddy GOs.
They don’t own church buildings.
They mostly have no property or assets. So you can’t use temptation of setting up human empires to compromise them.
These are noble men.
Not pulpit opportunists who turn the holy altar of God into a platform to rebrand satanic politicians.
May God bless these Catholic bishops for being the last voice of reason, the last hope of sanity and the last shred of conscience in a society full of depraved, compromised people who have sold their souls for dirty money.
