Is Brittney Griner Being Set Up By Her Russian Attorneys So Russia Can Have Another High Profile American Prisoner? Here’s Why We Believe So!

Embattled American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared briefly in court for her drug trial in Russia on July 26, 2022. Still, her scheduled testimony was moved forward to July 27, 2022, by her defense team, who requested that the athlete be given a little more time to prepare for her testimony.

Speaking to the media after the court session, one of her lawyers, Alexander Boykov, said: “Griner will testify tomorrow, and after that, it’s her decision whether she answers any questions or not.”

Is Brittney Griner being set up by her Russian attorneys so Russia can have another high-profile American prisoner due to their questionable recommendations?

Her defense team remains firm on their argument that the cannabis oil found in her luggage was for medicinal purposes, and prosecutors will reportedly also have an opportunity to question her when she takes to the stands.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who made a brief court appearance at the Khimki court of the Moscow region where her defense team presented evidence, also had a lovely message for her wife, Cherelle. The latter reportedly recently graduated from law school.

Embattled American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared briefly in court for her drug trial in Russia on July 26, 2022, but her scheduled testimony was moved forward to July 27, 2022.

Brittney, who had arrived in court holding up two photographs in a clear, plastic sleeve, said they were photos of her wife, two best friends, and teammates. Her short message to Cherelle read: “Good luck on the bar exam,” and the star player also disclosed that she had “no complaints” about her treatment and she’s “just waiting patiently” for everything to work out for her eventually.

Recall that Brittney faces up to 10 years in a Russian prison after pleading guilty to drug charges earlier in July. However, her defense team called a key witness who testified on her behalf during today’s hearing which lasted for about one hour.

The witness, a narcologist named Mikhail Tetyushkin, told the court that, based on the WNBA player’s prescription, it is likely she used the cannabis oil found in her luggage for medical purposes rather than recreational purposes.

Brittney, who had arrived in court holding up two photographs in a clear, plastic sleeve, said they were photos of her wife, two best friends, and teammates.

According to him, “medical cannabis is a popular treatment specifically among athletes in many countries outside Russia.”

Mikhail told the court that there is no global standard on the quantity of cannabinoids in medical marijuana while also educating the court about how athletes use it to treat chronic pain. He added that its frequent use or abuse could have side effects for a professional, like relaxation and inhibition of reaction times, and Brittney does not have any of these symptoms.

Another member of Brittney’s legal team, Maria Blagovolina, also argued that the initial report from the prosecution’s expert witness was “inconsistent and not according to scientific and legal standards.”

The two-time Olympic gold medalist also had a lovely message for her wife, Cherelle, who reportedly recently graduated from law school.

Blagovolina said the report from the prosecution’s expert witness did not determine the quantitative content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the cannabis oil found in Griner’s luggage. THC is the principal psychoactive substance in cannabis.

When the hearing concluded, Blagovolina said Tetyushkin “explained that in various countries — namely in the US — medical cannabis is a popular treatment specifically among athletes.”

“Thus, with the prescription in place, Brittney may have used it for medical but not recreational purposes,” Blagovolina added.

This latest hearing is the WNBA star’s 5th in her ongoing criminal trial which is reportedly expected to be concluded “early next month” (August), according to her lawyers. The US Embassy Charge d’Affaires Elizabeth Rood was in attendance during today’s court session.

Some shocking facts were again mentioned during the recent hearing, and it raises an alarming prospect and question in our minds:

Her defense team remains adamant that the cannabis oil found in her luggage was for medicinal purposes, and prosecutors will have an opportunity to question her when she takes to the stands on July 27, 2022.

(1) Is Brittney being set up to end in a Russian prison?

During her trial, the American star’s legal team recently revealed that her “Russian attorneys recommended her guilty plea.”

This admission is as bewildering as it is baffling, and it surely gives us a strong feeling that something fishy seems to be in play here. Sadly, her legal team is either part of the plot, or they’re simply too naive about how dirty Russians can play when they are bent on getting something!

According to reports, during a recent survey of the rate of successful convictions in the Russian legal system, it was discovered that over 98% of every case where the defendant pleaded guilty always ended in a conviction against them, as their plea is firmly counted as an admission of guilt and any other factors are waved aside.

Do those Russian attorneys who allegedly recommended that Brittney plead guilty to the drug charges against her not know this fact – which is impossible, by the way – or what exactly is going on in her case?

A statement released by her lawyers today said: “Brittney sets an example of being brave. She decided to take full responsibility for her actions as she knows that she is a role model for many people.

Considering the nature of her case, the insignificant amount of the substance, and BG’s personality and history of positive contributions to global and Russian sport, the defense hopes that the court will consider the plea as a mitigating factor and there will be no severe sentence.”

Will this “hope” of theirs be enough to rescue the WNBA star from what is starting to look like a trap she’s fallen into already, or will she be convicted and sentenced to a torturous 10 years in a Russian hell hole? We will bring you more updates after her testimony and hearing on July 27, 2022.

Meanwhile, what do you think is at play with the hazardous recommendation of her Russian attorneys and everything that has happened so far?

Vital Question And Points As ISWAP Reportedly Threatens To Abduct President Buhari And El- Rufai “By The Grace Of God!”

The reported extremist and military arm of the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram, known as The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), recently boldly threatened that they would abduct and hold the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai hostage, and alarmingly, nothing has been done about it by the Nigerian government!

The ISWAP terrorists, reportedly responsible for the abduction of the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, made the threat as they bragged on a video that is currently making the rounds on social media, where they were seen flogging the abducted victims mercilessly.

The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), recently boldly threatened that they would abduct and hold the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai hostage!

One of the terrorists who spoke in the Hausa Language allegedly said: “This is our message to the government of Nigeria, and just as you have seen these people here, by God’s grace, you will see your leaders; your senators, and governors will come before us.

These ones you are seeing here, we will keep some as our slaves and sell them off just as our Imam told you in the past. Just like the Chibok girls that were sold off, we will equally sell these ones as slaves.

If you don’t adhere to our demands, we will kill the ones we need to kill and sell the remaining. By God’s grace, El-Rufai, Buhari, we will bring you here.”

The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), has had an unchecked and free reign of terror in Nigeria since Buhari assumed office as President in 2015.

These were the same Chibok girls that this Buhari and APC administration vigorously used to campaign against former President Goodluck Jonathan and promised they would be rescued “within the first few months” of their tenure if given a chance to rule!

Alas, not only did they never keep that promise, but now even they are being brazenly threatened with abduction and slavery, and this brings a troubling question to mind:

(1) What is the secret relationship between ISWAP, Boko Haram, and Buhari and the APC?

It is not bad enough that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had boldly decided to break not only a long-standing democratic tradition of having running mates from the two major religious beliefs in the country but also appoint a well-known alleged Boko Haram sponsor and supporter in Kashim Shettima.

The ISWAP terrorists, reportedly responsible for the abduction of the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, made the threat as they bragged on a video that is currently making the rounds on social media, where they were seen flogging the abducted victims mercilessly.

Now they’ve taken it up a notch, as things have degenerated so bad that a terrorist group operating with an alarmingly free rein in the country is now brazenly threatening to kidnap the president, and many days after, nothing has been done about it!

Yet, the likes of Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igbowo, and many others like them never dared such before they were hunted down like dogs, even to other countries, branded traitors, terrorists, and threats to national security, and slammed behind bars indefinitely by this same President Muhammadu Buhari!

As things stand presently, we can’t help but wonder: What is it about Boko Haram and all its branches that have been so sacred for Buhari and his administration to touch? It’s easy to add 2 and 2 together in their case and arrive at the usual 4, but we don’t want to be seen as jumping the gun here.

The APC boldly decided to break a long-standing democratic tradition of having running mates from the two major religious beliefs in the country, and also appointed a well-known alleged Boko Haram sponsor and supporter, Kashim Shettima as their VP candidate.

Hence the rhetorical question: Is there something the APC and this administration are not telling us about these terrorists and bandits that have totally and so freely overrun Nigeria since they came into power? Or, how else can anyone justify a terrorist group, reportedly camped in already known locations in the country, threatening to abduct and hold the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria hostage? Yet, no military action has been taken against them for over 48 hours?! What could be more treasonable and warrant even a state of emergency than this?!

Dear Muhammadu Buhari and the APC, please make it make sense to Nigerians and the rest of the world who are watching and seeing all you’re doing…please!

And, for Nigerians living in the country, we can only hope and pray that may greed, poverty mentality, and avarice not kill many of you because we can never understand how any sane person could have witnessed all these evil done by Buhari and the APC for over 7 years now, and still be drumming up support for them and any candidates they present!

Governor Nasir El’rufai

As for these evil ISWAP bastards, we’re pretty sure that at this point, many Nigerians would even be glad to reward you if you carry out this particular threat, so could you kindly speed it up and be useful for something good for once, please?

What do you think has made the Buhari administration such a toothless dog against insurgency and insecurity in Nigeria since he assumed office? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or via our Facebook pages: Wenetly and Prof. Mgbeke.

Major Question Arises As China Reportedly Threatens Military Action Against The USA Over Taiwan

The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has stated that the US Military thinks it is not a good idea right now for U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit Taiwan in August 2022, as planned.

US President Joe Biden, has stated that the US Military thinks it is not a good idea right now for U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit Taiwan in August 2022, as planned.

President Biden also disclosed that he intends to speak with President Xi Jinping of China by the end of July, and he reportedly appeared to cast doubt on the proposed trip to Taiwan by Pelosi.

This comes in the wake of reports that China recently issued stark private warnings to Biden’s administration about the planned visit, citing that Beijing sees it as an attempt to undermine its sovereignty.

President Xi Jinping’s administration has threatened possible military action against the US if Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan.

Six people reportedly familiar with the warnings from China have also warned that these new threats are significantly more potent than any threats Beijing has made in the past. Apparently, this is not the first time that China has been unhappy with American policies and actions on Taiwan because China has laid claims to the island nation as its territory.

According to reports, there could be a military response by China if Pelosi insists on visiting, as a statement allegedly released by the Chinese foreign ministry says: “Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan would seriously undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the United States would bear the consequences of our response.”

The U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi had planned to visit Taiwan in August 2022.

Further reports also hold that China has been seeking to bully Taiwan’s democratically elected government into becoming a Chinese colony by stepping up military activity around the small island nation. However, the government of Taiwan has reportedly declared that, as much as they want peace, all 23 million of its people won’t hesitate to defend themselves if China attacks them.

Neither the Chinese foreign ministry nor the White House National Security Council and the State Department has issued any further comments on this very tense situation, and one cannot but wonder:

Chinese military has intensified drills and actions around Taiwan in a bid to force the small island nation into submitting to Chinese rule.

(1) What exactly is China’s play in this power game, and why are they seemingly bent on triggering a 3rd World War?

If the Chinese attack either Taiwan or takes military action against the US if Pelosi visits as planned, it would trigger retaliation that would spiral out of hand and start a full-blown war worldwide.

President of the United States of America, Joe Biden

No matter how powerful or mighty a nation’s military is, there is no wisdom or sense in deliberately provoking or starting a war with any other country.

We hope that discretion and restraint will prevail in these matters, and all nations concerned will resolve issues between them as amicably and mutually beneficial as possible.

Major Observations As The Russia v.s USA Standoff Continues With Brittney Griner’s Trial Resuming On July 26

Imprisoned American WNBA superstar Brittney Griner is set to resume her trial in a Russian court on July 26, 2022, as the athlete seeks to escape a possible 10-year prison sentence for alleged drug trafficking.

Brittney, 31, was arrested as she went through Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February 2022, after Russian authorities reportedly found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. The Olympic gold medalist and seven-time All-Star basketball player earns extra money during the WNBA offseason by playing in Russia.

Imprisoned American WNBA superstar Brittney Griner is set to resume her trial in a Russian court on July 26, 2022, as she seeks to escape a possible 10-year prison sentence for alleged drug trafficking.

Recall that the basketball star entered a guilty plea to drug possession charges in a reported bid to get a reduced sentence on July 7, 2022. Many international observers say this does not bode well for the American athlete. However, the question remains: Should she even have to take a plea or be detained in the first place, seeing how her recent claims state that the vape is for medicinal purposes?

Reports from Washington hold that the Biden administration strongly condemns the athlete’s arrest and detention and has classified her as “wrongfully detained.” Yet, no visible concrete moves have been made to secure her release from her Russian captors.

Brittney entered a guilty plea to drug possession charges on July 7, 2022, and many observers believe this could do more harm than any good for her in the long run.

President Biden reportedly signed an executive order last week which allows an increased flow of information to families of Americans detained abroad. The order also looks to impose sanctions on government officials, criminals, or terrorists holding them captive, but it has done little or nothing to move Moscow on Brittney’s case.

From a majority of the developments and speculations on her case since her last court date a few weeks ago, we’ve recently observed two major things about this saga. We want to share them with you as she returns to court again in Russia tomorrow.

Paul Nicholas Whelan is an alleged corporate security director arrested in Russia on December 28, 2018, and accused of spying. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison with the possibility of time in a labor camp on June 15, 2020.

(1) Russia does not care about American policies or what Washington thinks about this issue!

If everything the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reportedly disclosed to the media recently is anything to go by, Moscow has its agenda concerning this case against Brittney, and they do not give a damn if it sits well with the Americans or not.

While allegedly stating recently that the athlete’s arrest, detention, and ongoing trial were all well justified, Maria also reportedly lashed out at American officials who alleged that Brittney’s “charges were boosted” and her arrest was unjust.

From all indications, Moscow has its agenda concerning the case against Brittney, and they do not give a damn if it sits well with the Americans or not.

An irritated Maria also reportedly said that the rest of the world is not obliged to follow in America’s footsteps if they have decriminalized marijuana and want “the whole country to become drug addicts.”

“If a U.S. citizen was taken in connection with the fact that she was smuggling drugs, and she does not deny this, then this should be commensurate with our Russian local laws and not with those adopted in San Francisco, New York, and Washington,” she added.

Russia’s stand is now crystal clear in this case, and it looks more likely that the court would seek a conviction against the American basketball star. To what ends, though, we cannot but ask? But this leads us to our second observation about this saga recently.

President Biden reportedly signed an executive order recently which allows an increased flow of information to families of Americans detained abroad.

(2) An international prisoner exchange is shaping to go down, but do the pros justify the cons for Washington?

The White House has said severally that it is working tirelessly to bring Brittney home and is pursuing every possible option. With the possibility of the athlete being sentenced to a 10-year prison term in a Russian hell-hole, it looks like Washington may finally be considering the release of a dreaded arms dealer, Viktor Bout, widely known as the merchant of death.

Brittney, an Olympic gold medalist and seven-time All-Star basketball player, earns extra money during the WNBA offseason by playing in Russia.

Viktor would likely be exchanged for Brittney and another American, Paul Whelan, and Viktor’s legal representative, Steve Zissou, has reportedly expressed confidence that Moscow would be open to making the exchange. Of course, they would be!

Although neither Washington nor the Kremlin has made any official statements regarding a swap arrangement, we believe that an internationally renowned terrorist for a pair of regular American citizens is way too much of a loss for Washington, unless there’s something about Paul Whelan that is “classified” from the public.

Paul Nicholas Whelan is an alleged corporate security director arrested in Russia on December 28, 2018, and accused of spying. The Canadian is also an American, British, and Irish citizen, and he was sentenced to 16 years in prison with the possibility of time in a labor camp on June 15, 2020.

Recall that last week, the U.S. Senate also passed a resolution condemning Brittney’s arrest, calling for her immediate release, and voiced support for Paul and other “prisoners unjustly imprisoned in the Russian Federation.”

According to reports, a bipartisan resolution introduced by Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona in the United States Senate called for the United States to push for their release in all interactions with Russia. The resolution also demands that Russia provide the WNBA star with consular access as she remains in custody. Brittney has now been detained for 158 days as of July 25, 2022.

Whether or not the Russian government will heed or respect any of these demands and requests remains to be seen, and we’re all set to witness the next move in this chess game of power when the basketball star’s trial resumes on July 26, 2022.

What do you think the outcome of her case will be on July 26, and do you think Russia will carve in on Washington’s demands? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below or via our Facebook pages : Wenetly and Prof. Mgbeke.

2 Other Significant Records That Show How Amazing Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan Truly Is On The Tracks!

Nigerian athletic superstar and newest world track sensation, Tobi Amusan, made history on July 24, 2022, by becoming the first Nigerian athlete to win gold at the World Athletics Championship in Oregon after blazing to victory in the women’s 100m hurdles.

Tosin shattered the existing world record of 12.20secs in a jaw-dropping semi-final race where she set a new world and personal best record of 12.12secs.

Having previously shattered the existing world record in a jaw-dropping semi-final race where she set a new world and personal best record of 12.12secs, Tosin was not done breaking and rewriting the records just yet.

The Nigerian athlete stormed to gold in grand style during the final, as she flew over the line in 12.06secs to set another new world record at the Hayward Field Arena in Oregon, United States of America.

The Nigerian track star was awarded a $100,000 cash prize for her remarkable feat.

Keni Harrison of the United States previously held the world record 12.20secs set in 2016. Tosin dusted the likes of Jamaica’s Britany Anderson, who claimed silver in 12.23secs, and the Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico, who came in third for bronze in 12.23secs.

Sadly, though, Tosin’s winning time in the final will reportedly not be recognized as a world record because of a “strong following win of 2.5 metres per second.” She was, however, awarded a $100,000 cash prize for her remarkable feat.

Tosin dusted the likes of Jamaica’s Britany Anderson, who claimed silver, and the Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico, who came in third for bronze.

Whatever that technicality means is inconsequential, as the whole world has already witnessed the greatness and ability of the Nigerian track star firsthand, and we believe this is the most important thing.

Besides the latest records and title she’s added, the Nigerian track star also holds two other prominent records, which are the African 100 meters track record, and the Nigerian 100 meters track record, too.

Her clean sweep at the world championships now means that she is the undisputed 100 meters track queen of the world, and this is no mean feat for any athlete!

Born Oluwatobiloba Ayomide “Tobi” Amusan in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, on April 23, 1997, the Nigerian track and field athlete competes as a sprinter and specializes in the 100 meters hurdle.

An Alumnus of the University of Texas, El Paso, TX, USA, Tosin was ranked third before this recently concluded world championship in Oregon.

Her remarkable rise to the top of her career is an inspiration to both male and female athletes like herself and many other young people worldwide who are also dreaming of making the most out of their God-given skills and talents.

You can be whatever you set your hearts on to become, and there are no mountains or hurdles you cannot surmount and overcome in this world as long as you never quit or give up trying!

We congratulate the new world track champion, and we wish her all the very best in her career as she progresses.

Heartbreaking Question As Video Of Kidnapped Train Attack Victims Being Flogged Mercilessly Goes Viral!

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES & VIOLENCE!

This short video clip of the abductees from the Kaduna-Abuja train attacked and bombed by armed terrorists on March 28, 2022, being flogged mercilessly in the forest is currently trending, and it makes me very curious.

Livid and in severe pain for these people and their families and loved ones at home, too, yes, but one major question keeps ringing in my head: Nigeria, how did we get to this point?!

This is not Afghanistan or one Taliban-held country, but the supposed land flowing with milk and honey, and the “land of the free” o!

During their campaigns in 2015, they railed so much at GEJ over the Chibok girls and made scores of promises that insurgency and insecurity would be wiped out. Today, after 7 years and a few months, Buhari and the APC are the WORST PLAGUES to have ever hit this country called Nigeria!

Sadly, one BAT has appointed an alleged leader and financier of these same Boko Haram terrorists as his Vice Presidential candidate, promised to “carry on the legacies and works of Buhari’s administration,” and some numbskulls are campaigning and rooting for him, and this evil to continue?!

So help us, God!

Key Lessons As Police Arrests 7 Africans In Dubai After Crime Video Goes Viral

A group of seven yet-to-be-identified young African men has landed themselves into hit waters in the United Arab Emirates, as they were all recently arrested by the Dubai Police following an alleged heated argument late at night in their apartment.

According to reports, a criminal case was registered against them after a video of them fighting and damaging properties in a public place went viral on social media platforms.

The Dubai Police reportedly warns against such unacceptable behavior and constantly urges the community members to report such through ‘Police Eye Service’ on the Dubai Police app or by calling the emergency hotline.

The men are reportedly all of the African descent, and they will be referred to the public prosecution for further action.

A group of seven yet-to-be-identified young African men were all recently arrested by the Dubai Police following an alleged heated argument late at night in their apartment.

Dubai authorities also reportedly warn the public against “publishing or forwarding clips to avoid legal accountability according to article 52 of the UAE Federal Law No 34 of 2021 on countering Rumors and Cybercrimes.”

According to their law: “Whoever uses the information network to announce, disseminate, re-disseminate, circulate, or recirculate news or data, or broadcasts any provocative news that would incite or provoke public opinion, disturb the public peace, spread terror among people, or cause harm to the public interest, the national economy, the public order, or the public health shall be punished with at least one year of imprisonment and a fine of not less than Dh100,000.”

These men not only fought and destroyed property in a public place, but they also somehow stupidly had it posted on social media!

They are now in more trouble than they ever bargained for, and their case holds an important lesson for everyone: Rules are rules, and they must be obeyed, whether in your native land or another country!

It is even more expedient and commonsensical to carefully note all the rules, laws, and regulations of any village, town, city, state, or country you’re visiting and diligently follow them consistently.

That way, you’ll be able to keep yourself out of trouble and abide peacefully for as long as you’re going to sojourn in that land.

Which African country do you think these young men, or most of them, are from? Please drop your comments below or via our Facebook pages: Wenetly and Prof. Mgbeke

2 Commendable Points, Lessons As Davido Reveals Igbo Heritage On Grandma’s 11th Death Anniversary

Multiple award-winning and world-famous Nigerian music superstar David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, left many of his fans and several Nigerians stunned on July 23, 2022, after the music star disclosed that his grandmother is from the South-East part of Nigeria (Igbo).

Davido made the disclosure as he penned a concise but lovely message to commemorate the 11th anniversary of her death.

Putting up a picture of his “Nana’s” remembrance poster released by the Adeleke Family on his Instastory, the DMW boss said: “Yes, my grandma is Igbo… Miss you, mama.”

Multiple award-winning and world-famous Nigerian music superstar Davido left many of his fans and several Nigerians stunned after the music star disclosed that his grandmother is Igbo

Madam Nnena Esther Adeleke passed on to glory 11 years ago, and the Adelekes speaking through Adedeji Adeleke (Davido’s father), described their late mother as a very amiable, humble, and good woman who was loved by all.

While thousands of remarks and lovely comments continue to pour in all over social media over the music star’s Igbo heritage, we have a crucial observation and lesson we want everyone to note below.

(1) Davido’s love, passion, and unrelenting selflessness for his family is an example every home should show and teach their children from early childhood! It is simply amazing!

How he goes all out for his family and commits everything to ensure they succeed is so surreal, and one cannot but wonder what kind of human he is.

One of the few genuine and very good ones left, we dare say, and his antecedents are no secrets or hidden things to the public. Simply put: Davido is a rare and glittering gem in the House of Adeleke, and this is all about his personality and not even his musical talent!

Madam Nnena Esther Adeleke passed on to glory 11 years ago, and the Adelekes described their late mother as a very amiable, humble, and good woman who was loved by all.

(2) Davido embodies the spirit and culture of Africa that stays grounded and very proud of our roots, no matter the level of Western exposure or distance traveled!

The way he is always eager and swift to identify with his African heritage and diverse roots is another thing we need to teach our children as they grow.

No matter where you come from, don’t ever trade in your heritage and roots for another person’s culture! Whether you’re Black, White, Asian, Latino, Indian, Aborigine, or from the chilliest places of Arctartica, your heritage, culture, and roots define and make you who you are.

Hence, like Davido is always quick to do, you must cherish and be proud of it wherever you go!

He is a shining beacon in this age where many people don’t seem to care about things like culture, roots, and heritage anymore, and he is one we believe should be well celebrated and hailed for his unique and commendable ways.

Odogwu David, you are doing well! Remain blessed always, Nwanne.

Davido’s love, passion, and unrelenting selflessness for his family is an example every home should show and teach their children from early childhood!

What do you think of the way Davido identifies with his roots and also stands solidly behind his family and relatives whenever they need him?

Crucial Questions Arise As Paris Police Chief Quits Over UEFA Champions League Final Show Of Shame!

The French government has ordered the replacement of the Chief of Paris Police, Didier Lallement, on July 21, 2022, following the conclusions of investigations into the horror show put up by his officers during the last UEFA Champions League final played at the Stade de Prince on May 28, 2022.

Chief of Paris Police, Didier Lallement, steps down today, July 21, 2022, following the horror show put up by his officers during the last UEFA Champions League final played at the Stade de Prince on May 28, 2022.

The iconic match between Spanish champions Real Madrid CF and English giants Liverpool FC was marred by terrible crowd violence before and after the finale.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were allegedly sprayed with tear gas, crushed, and denied entry into the stadium despite presently valid tickets for the event by the police.

This led to outrage and massive cries against the French government, football association, and police officers by millions of people who witnessed the horror worldwide.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were allegedly sprayed with tear gas, crushed, and denied entry into the stadium despite presently valid tickets for the event by the police.

Sadly for him, Didier initially blamed the chaos on Liverpool fans. Still, he later retracted his statements after a preliminary round of investigations into the matter revealed many facts in June 2022. He went on to say that the failure of his officers wounded him but that he is “the only one responsible” for all that happened.

According to reports, Didier sent a letter to his officers on July 20, 2022, where he reportedly stated that he was leaving his post with the chaos at the finale as the only stain on his three-and-a-half-year tenure.

Didier initially blamed the chaos on Liverpool fans but later retracted his statements after a preliminary round of investigations into the matter revealed many facts in June 2022.

“I’m still wounded from the failure of the Stade de France.

Certainly, that evening, we saved lives, but the reputation of the country was damaged. That the French flag has been sullied is a pain for me and a responsibility that I must assume,” he said.

Didier was reportedly due to retire from the Force ahead of his 66th birthday on August 27, 2022. Although there are attempts to play down his earlier exit as not being related to the debacle, we have a crucial question we would like to ask from our observations on this matter:

Didier was reportedly due to retire from the Force ahead of his 66th birthday on August 27, 2022. Yet, he chose to resign now because of the shame of the failure under his watch.

(1) Will Nigeria ever experience a time when a public officer would take responsibility for the ineptitude and gross failure on his watch and honorably resign?

It’s almost like every Nigerian government official takes an oath never to be responsible for their actions as they assume office because it is just inexplicable!

With all the kidnappings and abductions, ambushes and slaughtering of soldiers, daring attacks on prison facilities, airports, trains, and complete closures of major interstate highways by armed bandits and terrorists, not one of President Muhammadu Buhari or any of the so-called security chiefs he appointed has ever shown a trace of such integrity!

Nothing has ever been as terrible as it is in every sector of the Nigerian economy. Yet, President Buhari and his cohorts would rather swallow a porcupine than admit their incompetence and resign.

Didier could have insisted on staying and seeing out his tenure scheduled to end in August, yet he chose to resign now because of the shame of the failure under his watch.

The final question now is: Do these so-called leaders and government officials in Nigeria have any iota of shame, integrity, and dignity?

Sad Realities As US VP Kamala Harris Laments That Black Families Need To Hang Pictures Of White Friends To Boost Home Values

The American Vice President Kamala Harris recently disclosed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that black families reportedly “encourage” white friends to hang photos of themselves in their homes during appraisals so the values of their homes can be boosted.

In her speech, VP Harris said: “We are hearing the cases of, for example, a black family trying to sell their home, and they get the appraisal and they just know it is not the true value of their home.

And so you’ve heard the stories about how they’ll then encourage friends of the family — a white family — to come in. And then the white family will put the pictures up of their family. And then that appraisal gets done, and it’s for a much higher value. Same house. Same neighborhood.

It is because of a clear history of segregation, restrictive covenants and redlining that long denied black homeowners the opportunity to take full advantage of the wealth-building power of homeownership. That inequity continues today in the home appraisal system.”

According to a report released in August 2020, many companies were reportedly violating the Fair Housing Act by under-appraising the homes of Black families.

A popular anti-discrimination change agent, Abena Horton, also shared her similar experience on her website recently. According to Abena, the value of her home shot up by over $166,000 after she and her white husband removed all their family pictures in the house and had the man alone stay in the house when realtors came for another appraisal.

This reports point to a very sad fact that Black segregation and racism against the Black race doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon, and sadly, even in the United States of America, too.

If the value of the same building can change by only placing a white person’s picture in it – without any structural upgrades and repairs done on it, then this is a serious problem that needs urgent resolution!

No matter the color of our skins, or any other physical, racial, religious, ethnic, or social differences, let us all learn to live as one and tolerate each other better.

A report released in August 2020 shows that many companies were reportedly violating the Fair Housing Act by under-appraising the homes of Black families.

Life is much better and sweeter lived with love instead of hate. Try it today, and you’ll be glad you did.
