the unbearable notice is; that you've to make up your mind to be the difference and not the other way round else people will misjudge you even though you're not that person.
Have you ever seen a European Christian call a non-christian European a pagan or idol worshipper?
It was rebranded and given new names and language.
You’ll never ever hear that.
Have you ever heard the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury call other European traditional worshippers, pagan or idol worshippers? Never.
Have you ever seen churches in Europe or Asia mount big billboards by road and litter the streets with loud noise?
Have you ever seen a European denied a job or attacked online for not being a Christian? Never.
Come to Africa.
A pastor or priest would mount the pulpit and begin to attack the African traditional religions, calling them pagan and Idol worshippers.
Churches would brandish everyone who doesn’t share their faith as a satanic person and they would sing intolerant songs coined to mock and ridicule African religion.
You’d see Catholics arguing if Anglicans should be allowed to receive communion in their church and vice versa.
They forget that both churches are named after two civilisations; Rome and England.
“Western religions taught the African man that his brother was the enemy and that except his brother accepts his own religion, he was evil”
InsiderNotes!
The same Europeans taught their own people that Africans are animals and that we were merchandise to be bought and owned.
You'd never see a European who goes about shouting Holy ghost fire when he sees a cat or owl in the night.
The African man forgets that cats and owls are creatures created by the Almighty and that it’s natural for them to move at night.
Rome colonised Africa but how many of us know this?
Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands, England, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg and about 30 others were all Roman empires.
Remove Switzerland and Luxembourg, the rest on the list colonised Africa.
Today the Roman religion is the most dominant in Africa.
“The Roman Catholic church and the Anglican church are directly controlled by Roman culture“

The world’s single train refinery, the Dangote Refinery, has made an essential move by issuing tenders to sell its first two fuel cargoes for export in Nigeria.
The development is an essential step for the newly launched refinery, which has generated a buzz in the industry.
A Reuters report quotes three sources saying that the first cargo of 94,000 metric tons of sulphur straight run fuel oil, which Dangote has awarded to Nigeria, is due to load at the end of this week. Before 25th February 2024.
The second tender is for about 70,000 tons of naphtha, which three other sources told Reuters, with the tender started on February 05, 2024.
The development comes after reports emerged that the refinery was preparing to deliver its first fuel cargoes to the domestic market in early weeks today.
“Significant oil marketers in Nigeria had registered with Dangote Refinery to lift and distribute petroleum products from the $20 billion facility”
INSIDERNOTES
The Petroleum Products Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria said that PETROAN has been in talks with the refinery management holding on a conclusion to supply products from the facility as soon as possible.
The report outlined the seven significant marketers, including 11 Plc, Conoil Plc, AA Rano, Ardova Plc, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, OVH Energy Marketing Limited, Total Nigeria Plc and NNPC Retail.
Adeola Yusuf, Energy Policy expert and Lead of Platforms Africa said the development is good and did say that the move will affect local pricing positive.
In another report the Port Harcourt refinery is set to begin operations after receiving 745,000 barrels of crude oil from #Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited.
The crude oil supply is the first to be made in the past few years due to the poor state of the plant, which called for rehabilitation and testing to ensure readiness for sustainable operations.
Port Harcourt refinery begins production after years of neglect Shell stated that the recommencement of crude oil supply from the BOGT to Port Harcourt Refinery is a significant achievement and a game changer for the industry and Nigeria.
The intensive preparations, partnerships, and dedication of both teams involved were responsible for overcoming challenges and ensuring safe and efficient supply operations.
According to Shell, the move will support the government’s plan of a steady supply of petroleum products to the downstream market and other associated benefits to Nigeria’s economy like the #150naira sale back from October, 7th, 2023.
FG gives oil firms in Nigeria strict orders on Dangote, other refineries as reported that the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has ordered oil companies in Nigeria to supply about 934,000 barrels of crude oil daily to local refineries for the next seven months beginning from January, 1st, 2024.
The initiative is part of Nigeria’s efforts to ensure regular supply to local refiners for domestic consumption.
About 12 local refineries are expected to begin production in the coming weeks, including the 960,000 capacity Dangote refinery and Nigeria’s four refineries in Port Harcourt, 2 in Warri, and 3 in Kaduna.
The economic hardship in Nigeria has proven on over time that “while the seething nectar we drink inn harms no one else but ourselves” every institution from every sector is detrimental to this scourgerous failure.
A question for you: have you heard about Zambia’s escalating HIV crisis? No?
Well what about Angola experiencing one of the most intense droughts in its history, have you heard anything about that?
If not, it’s not surprising, because nor have a lot of people.
Despite the world having this wonderful access to information technology where news and stories can be shared globally with just the click of a button, some of the most crucial stories and events are going overlooked.
lobal media attention can be both fickle and fleeting and, often depending on where a crisis is happening or who the people are being impacted, the threat to lives and the urgent action needed can often go unnoticed or underreported.
This in turn, can affect the political and humanitarian attention that each crisis receives.
Humanitarian agency CARE International released a report this month called,
The report dives into the crises that are impacting millions of people yet received the least media coverage of the past year they found that all of them are on the African continent
CARE’s research compares the coverage of these crises to the coverage of major pop culture moments, and the results are… revealing.
In Malawi, for instance, 5.4 million people are facing an acute hunger crisis as a result of tropical storms such as Cyclone Ana with 2,330 articles written about the crisis.
That might sound like quite a lot — until you compare it with the 217,529 articles written about the Chris Rock/Will Smith incident at last year’s Oscars.
That’s almost 93 times more articles than the hunger crisis in Malawi.
According to CARE, the main reason these humanitarian crises don’t get more attention is because they often don’t suit the criteria of being compelling enough news, which, according to experts CARE consulted for the report,
“prioritize dramatic, timely, familiar, unambiguous, and easy to explain stories, which are assumed to resonate with their target audiences.”
InsiderNotes
But now more than ever, as the climate crisis wreaks havoc, the refugee and displacement crisis is the worst it’s been in decades, the global food crisis leaves millions going hungry every day, and conflict is raging across countries and continents we can all play a part in making sure all crises get the attention they need.
And how do we do that? We asked Emily Janoch, Senior Director for Thought Leadership, Knowledge Management, and learning at CARE USA.
“As an individual, diversify your news sources.
Look at what you consume, click on, and share.
If that hasn’t covered one of these crises, start thinking about why, and who might be covering those issues,” she said.
“Also look at who is telling the story,” she added. “Is it someone who is impacted by the crisis?
Does it show the people involved as humans who can act and who deserve better? Or does it only treat them (especially women) as victims?”
This is a result of rising temperatures, with CARE reporting that there’s potential for these droughts to be more frequent due to climate change.
The droughts are causing climate migration, and have impacted food insecurity resulting in 3.8 million people not having enough to eat.
It also doesn’t help that Angola is also one of the countries with the highest food price increases as a result of the war in Ukraine.
2. Malawi: Cyclones, Cholera & Hunger
Health workers treat cholera patients at the Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe central Malawi on Jan. 11, 2023.
Malawi’s cholera outbreak has now claimed more than 1,000 lives by Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2023 according to the country’s health minister, who warned that some cultural beliefs and hostility towards health workers are slowing down response efforts.
We’ve mentioned that 5.4 million people in Malawi are experiencing an acute hunger crisis as a result of damaging cyclones.
We also need to mention that Malawi’s health care system is under strain due to rising HIV cases and intense cholera outbreaks, seen as a result of not enough access to clean drinking water.
3. Central African Republic: Conflict & Climate Change
One in two people in the Central African Republic don’t have enough to eat.
The changing weather conditions have impacted the soil that the country’s food grows from, while storms and floods have destroyed thousands of homes and left 10,000 children without schools to attend.
The country has also experienced unceasing conflict since 2013, which has resulted in a severe refugee crisis with over 740,000 people seeking refuge across the borders and 500,000 people experiencing internal displacement.
4. Zambia: Increased Poverty, HIV & GBV
More than half the Zambian population lives in extreme poverty — meaning living on less than $1.90 a day and the country is experiencing some of the worst malnutrition rates in the world as a result of economic instability and the climate crisis affecting agriculture.
Meanwhile, more than 10% of people have recently been infected with HIV and, in 2021, around 19,000 people died of AIDS in the country.
Gender-based violence is also highly prevalent in the country, particularly following the #COVID19 pandemic and lockdowns that also saw economic hardship increase across the country.
5. Chad: Unrest & Floods

Droughts, flooding and a shrinking Lake Chad caused in part by climate change is fueling conflict and migration in the region and needs to better addressed, a report said Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023.
Armed conflicts and insurgency have remained a major issue in the Sahel region of North Africa for several years, and right now, 6.1 million people in the region are in need of humanitarian aid as a result.
Over 70% of Burundi’s people live below the poverty line, and 1.8 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to the lack of safe drinking water and inadequate access to health care.
Climate migration has also been a major issue, with 85,000 people being forced to leave their homes following extreme flooding.
6. Burundi: Economic Crisis & Natural Disaster
Over 70% of Burundi’s people live below the poverty line, and 1.8 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to the lack of safe drinking water and inadequate access to health care.
Climate migration has also been a major issue, with 85,000 people being forced to leave their homes following extreme flooding.
A vendor counts her money after making a sale in Harare, Thursday ,June, 2, 2022. Rampant inflation is making it increasingly difficult for people in Zimbabwe to make ends meet.
Since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, official statistics show that Zimbabwe’s inflation rate has shot up from 66% to more than 130%.
The country’s finance minister says the impact of the Ukraine war is heaping problems on the already fragile economy.
High inflation and economic instability mean more than half the Zimbabwean population is living in extreme poverty.
The climate crisis, including intense drought periods followed by heavy rainfall, have impacted food production and food security, resulting in food shortages and insecurity across the country.
8. Mali: Conflict & Climate Crisis
Ongoing violence and two coups in 2020 and 2021 have led to citizens fleeing the country in large numbers resulting in 2.5 million children dropping out of school, and exposing women and girls to the threat of sexual violence.
The climate crisis has also hit Mali hard, with floods and droughts contributing to crop failure and increasing malnutrition and hunger in the country.
Cameroon has faced crisis after crisis over the last decade, and currently 3.9 million people are in need of emergency humanitarian assistance that’s around 14% of the country.
There has been ongoing conflict and political unrest since 2016, resulting in 3,000 schools closing down, and citizens becoming internally displaced this despite the fact that there is already a large influx of refugees entering Cameroon to escape violence in the neighboring Central African Republic.
Water and sanitation is also a major issue, with 1.8 million people unable to access clean water.
10. Niger: Hunger & Lack of Development
“In general, Niger is a country of records: one of the hottest countries, it has the highest fertility rate, and the highest population growth in the world,”
The Report Highlights.
Yet, despite these records, little to no investment has been made into the country’s development and climate adaptation.
Natural disasters such as droughts, together with ongoing conflict and insurgency, have led to food instability 4.4 million people are acutely food insecure, and half the country’s children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished.
Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Shine Ya Eye finalist, Liquorose attended a public function with the mother of her lover in the house, Emmanuel.
Liquorose got special attention at the event. She appeared in a beautiful green gown as she exchanged pleasantries with other guests at the party.
A couple of fans have reacted to the video with some of them suggesting that Liquorose was mingling with her future mother-in-law. Legit.ng captured some of their reactions below:
Jasmine Crowe wants to solve hunger. So in 2017, she founded Goodr, an Atlanta-based food waste management company that connects restaurants and businesses with leftover food to nonprofits that help feed people experiencing food insecurity..
Rhetoric about what was next to be…
What incited you to start Goodr?
She started by saying; What really opened my eyes was realizing businesses were already paying waste companies to throw perfectly good food away when that food could be going to somebody in need.
“She’s also a speaker, children’s book author (!), and a Jay-Z super fan”
INSIDERNOTES
What’s one thing you wish you knew when you first started pitching Goodr to investors?
When I started raising funding, the first million that I raised, I must have taken well over 200 meetings. I wish I knew then that investors don’t care about fighting hunger or food waste.
And I went into meetings pitching that so hard because I thought, I wish I knew that investors only care about money. Even if they’re a social impact investor, money is still what drives them. I was a little naive to that.
“Hey, I have this world-changing idea. We’re solving hunger.”
JASMINECROWE
How do you build a successful team as a startup?
What I would definitely advise against is just hiring your friends and family. It costs a lot of money and it takes a lot of time for training.
So hire the best people, even if it takes you a long time to find that person. It’s really worth it in the end.
And in hindsight, I wish I had let them go faster so that they could follow their passion. And then it would have allowed me to find somebody else.
Besides fundraising, what other hurdles have you faced in the early days of Goodr?
Building a team can be an early challenge in any startup. I’m still competing against Twitter and the Ubers of the world for employees. And they have endless money.
What is the best thing about Atlanta?
When I was first raising money, investors acted like Atlanta was the worst place ever. But there are a lot of great startups here that I think are going to make a lot of change.
The people and the culture. It’s tough to pick just one. Atlanta is a community and the people have really supported me.
One of my first customers ever was the Atlanta airport—that’s one of the world’s busiest airports. And they embraced the fact that I was a startup in Atlanta.
Fresh off the release of his new album Punk and a pair of Travis Barker-backed Saturday Night Live performances, Young Thug dropped by the Breakfast Club headquarters for an hour-long discussion that opened with a reflection on his previous issues with Charlamagne.
Asked what kept him “away from the Breakfast Club all these years,” Thug initially said he didn’t know before pointing to his and Charlamagne’s “misunderstanding.”
From there, Thugger noted his previous comments against CTG—which were spurred by Birdman’s infamous appearance on the show in 2016—were “all talk” at the time.
“That was all talk,”
YUNGTHUG
Thug said. “I never understood, like, how could it go so, how could it seem so far. We all just talking shit. … I was kinda young back then.
I ain’t understand blogging back then. You know, I was so young and fresh in the game to the point that I didn’t understand this shit and how important it is.”
About three minutes into the interview, Thug—who’s 30—said he’s “pretty old now” and has since grown out of “arguing on the internet,” among other things.

Gabrielle Union became a major success commercially when she reprised the role of Syd Burnet in Bad Boys 2.
This 2003 movie grossed over $273 million and was a worldwide hit. It placed Gab squarely in the pantheon of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.
However, like many other actresses before her, Union’s first choice wasn’t always acting in movies. She revealed this on the latest episode of JJ Redick’s ‘The Old Man and the Three’ podcast.
“Gabrielle Union revealed how her acting career took off as she began auditioning for roles as a video actress, resulting in an audition with Tupac”.

There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home.
At the risk of stating the obvious, there are few, if any, looks that A$AP Rocky cannot pull off with aplomb. (Is it because he is insanely hot?
It’s not not that!) But there are a few times that the rapper has well and truly put together A Fit, like when he attended the Calvin Klein Fall 2018 runway in February of that year.
I personally think the star is the oversized striped knit, but there are no losers in this outfit, from the color-blocked outerwear to the signature Calvin Klein white boots, which still look fresh several seasons out.
Rocky would go on to make a snow angel in the piles of popcorn, so for added authenticity on the cheap, feel free to stick a few popped kernels of corn to your knits. Stylish and a snack! Just like A$AP Rocky. Okay I’ll see myself out.
“An easy shortcut to copying his style this fall would be picking up a pair of white boots of your own”

Kanye West has earned his first ever Diamond certification, with ‘Stronger’ surpassing the 10 million sales mark earlier this week.
Released in 2007 from West’s third album ‘Graduation’, the track has reached the milestone 14 years later.
Tracks need to surpass 10 million sales to be certified Diamond according to the RIAA
INSIDERNOTES
Sharing the news via Twitter, Def Jam Records said: “Kanye West’s ‘Stronger’ is now @RIAA certified DIAMOND! Congratulations to Yeezy and the entire team.”
Earlier this year, it was revealed just 58 songs have been certified Diamond, which is the Recording Industry Association of America highest honour and is worth the equivalent of ten Platinum plaques.
“West also recently announced he is looking at expanding his empire of fashion and music”
INSIDERNOTES
Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ was the fastest song to ever earn the classification while tracks by Justin Bieber (‘Baby’, ‘Sorry’), Eminem (‘Not Afraid’, ‘Lose Yourself’), Lady Gaga (‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’) and Drake (‘God’s Plan’) have also achieved the milestone.
Meanwhile, it’s been announced that an “intimate” new documentary about West, titled jeen-yuhs, is coming to Netflix next year.

However, his background used to be rather murky, so he’s made a ton of appearances in different ways.
Now, with The Suicide Squad movie out and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League releasing in 2022, it’s easy to see how the two takes on the one character have interpreted his background and made him their own.
“With The Suicide Squad now out, it’s easy to draw comparisons between James Gunn’s King Shark and the upcoming SS: Kill The Justice League’s”
That obviously comes with the caveat that the movie is out and the full game is not, but there’s quite a few easily notable differences in terms of physical and personality.
PLEASE NOTE: The following has SPOILERS for the newly-release movie.
In the new James Gunn movie, King Shark is perhaps best described as a loveable oaf with a twinge of sadness, serving more often than not as comical relief. He demonstrates his lack of intellect several times by pretending to read a book upside down, when he tries to eat Ratcatcher-2, and by his general lack of vocabulary, but as Amanda Waller puts it, he’s the strongest member on the team.
His strength is great, and the combination allows King Shark to play off Ratcatcher, Bloodsport, and others quite well. It’s even quite sad when his “friends” betray and attack him in the water tank explosion, as well as when members of the Suicide Squad have to leave him behind because he’s a shark.
Air passengers to the UK have spent at least £500m on PCR Covid-19 tests from private companies since mid+May, a Guardian analysis has found, only for the NHS to be saddled with extra costs when firms fail to deliver them.
Concern is mounting that the system for testing travellers is on the brink of collapse, with Heathrow airport calling on Wednesday for the government to allow people to use cheaper lateral flow tests instead.
Travellers have reported having to call the NHS testing hotline on 119 for free taxpayer-funded kits after PCR tests they had paid for did not arrive.
“The government must also introduce robust accreditation for all test providers listed on its website, to prevent travellers being ripped off when trying to buy something as essential as a test.”

Google has rolled out a new internal calculator to explain potential pay cuts to employees who choose to work remotely — and the early results suggests it will penalize its suburban staffers.
Screenshots obtained by Reuters show that Google employees who previously commuted an hour to Google’s Manhattan offices from nearby Stamford, Conn., for example, would see their salaries slashed by 15 percent if they choose to continue working from home.
“Google is slashing pay by up to 25% for some employees who choose to work remotely forever”
NYPOST
Google employees who move even farther away from the company’s offices have been warned they could face even harsher pay cuts.
A worker who left San Francisco for Lake Tahoe, another expensive area of California, would have their pay cut by a whopping 25 percent.
That would mean an employee with a $150,000 salary would suddenly make less than $112,000 per year.
“News of the Google tool comes amid a broader debate at tech companies about remote work and compensation.”
NYPOST
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have allwarned employees who plan to leave expensive cities like New York and San Francisco that their pay will be slashed while smaller tech companies like Reddit and Zillow say they’ll pay the same regardless of where employees live.
The calculator states it uses US Census Bureau metropolitan statistical areas, or CBSAs. Stamford, Conn., for example, is not in New York City’s CBSA, even though many people who live there work in New York.
Jake Rosenfeld, a sociology professor at Washington University in St. Louis who researches pay determination, said Google’s pay structure raises alarms about who will feel the impacts most acutely, including families.

Rebecca Dixon, executive director at the National Employment Law Project, told MarketWatch that an employee who has proof of a medical exemption or religious objection to receiving the vaccine may still be eligible to collect unemployment benefits if terminated.
The New York Times reported that other large companies — including Facebook and Google — have said they will require employees to be vaccinated in order to return to the office.
Some companies, including The Washington Post, have made vaccination a condition of further employment; however, few have given details about the consequences of violating vaccine requirements.
CNN revealed that it had fired three unvaccinated employees for violating the company’s vaccine requirement for in-person workers, according to an internal memo signed by Jeff Zucker, the cable network’s president, obtained by the New York Times.
According to employment law experts, the three former CNN employees likely won’t receive unemployment benefits, reports MarketWatch.
“And, if you refuse to get one and quit or are terminate”
YAHOOFINANCE
To receive unemployment benefits, most individuals must prove that they are out of work through no fault of their own.
Unemployment benefits may also be unlikely if one quits due to vaccination refusal, although state workforce departments are able to make changes to that eligibility requirement.

Space Jam: A New Legacy gave the Looney Tunes a makeover by turning them into 3D/CGI versions, but was the movie secretly criticizing the use of CGI through the Looney Tunes?
The Looney Tunes have gone through a variety of adventures since their debut in 1930, but in 1996 they went through a one-of-a-kind adventure in space in Joe Pytka’s Space Jam.
The movie brought together two different worlds unlikely to cross paths in the real world: the Looney Tunes and professional basketball, this by having Michael Jordan leading the Tune Squad in a life-changing basketball game.
“The biggest, most noticeable change that has sparked a lot of debate among critics and viewers is how Space Jam 2 digitized the Looney Tunes and gave them a 3D/CGI look, which was justified in the story.”
SCREENRANT
The biggest, most noticeable change that has sparked a lot of debate among critics and viewers is how Space Jam 2 digitized the Looney Tunes and gave them a 3D/CGI look, which was justified in the story.
The Looney Tunes spend the first two acts in their traditional looks, but when the time comes for the big game to start, the villain of the story and leader of the opposing team, Al-G Rhythm (Don Cheadle), gives them a makeover to fit with the digital look of everything else.
Bugs Bunny and company are understandably horrified when they see themselves in 3D form, but could this be a sneaky way from the writers of Space Jam 2 to criticize the use of CGI in recent years?
“However, given a big issue surrounding the animation crew behind Space Jam 2, this theory now seems unlikely.”
INSIDERNOTES
In an unexpected (and unprofessional) movie from Warner Bros., the studio didn’t credit the whole 2D animation team, and this issue was quickly pointed out by some of the animators, most notably Dave Alvarez.
In response to this, and in a failed attempt to make up for the “mistake”, Warner Bros. shared the names of the whole 2D animation crew and their “gratitude” to them via the official Space Jam 2Twitter and Instagram accounts, which only drew more backlash.
