“Supporting Peter Obi's coalition would be a gravę mistake for Arewa” – Angry Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri has warned Arewa against supporting Peter Obi's coalition, citing concerns about Obi's past actions and potential consequences for the North. According to Omokri, if Arewa backs Obi's coalition and gives him the Presidential ticket, they may face marginalization similar to what Northern Cameroon experienced after Ahmadou Ahidjo's resignation in 1982.

Omokri highlighted President Bola Tinubu's loyalty and integrity in supporting former President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that Arewa has a reliable Southern ally in Tinubu. He raised questions about Obi's credibility, citing allegations of plotting against Muslims, defending IPOB, and failing to condemn IPOB's activities, and appointing a Christian coordinator in Sokoto.

Following Peter Obi's appeal to Nigerians about his single four-year presidential bid, Reno Omokri said: “If Arewa makes the mistake of backing the coalition and giving their Presidential ticket to Peter Obi, exactly what happened to Northern Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned on November 4, 1982, is what will happen to Northern Nigeria. Go back and study history.

The Hausa and Fulani are the most marginalised ethnicities in Cameroon, and Paul Biya kept none of the promises he made to Ahidjo.

But in Nigeria, Mutanen Arewa has a Southern friend they can rely on, in President Bola Tinubu. He showed his loyalty and integrity by standing with Buhari and ensuring he was elected and reelected.

General Buhari had tried thrice without Asiwaju Tinubu and failed each time. But in 2015, Jagaban stood with him. And that fidelity made the difference that led to victory:

Now, do you want to leave him and entrust power to a man who was caught on a leaked audio plotting "religious war" against the Muslim Ummah, and has in the past made other disparaging remarks about Mutanen Arewa?

A man, like Peter Obi, who defended the Indigenous People of Biafra and said they were not terrorists? So who killed Harira, the pregnant Arewa woman from Adamawa, and her four underage daughters, including Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2, who were killed in broad daylight at Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State?

Who killed Ahmed Gulak in Owerri in May of 2021?

Today, millions of innocent Nigerian citizens will be forced to observe the infamous Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. Has this same Peter Obi ever condemned IPOB or their sit-at-home?

Mutanen Arewa may recall that in the most Islamic state of Nigeria, the seat of the Caliphate, Peter Obi named Ifeanyi Ezeagu as the state coordinator of his campaign for Sokoto. He also named John Ezeigbe the coordinator for Lagos state.

And this is the man telling you to give him power, and he will do only one term?

A man who could not keep a promise to Ojukwu will now stay true to his pledge to Arewa?

Believe that, and prepare for the Cameroon treatment.”

Burkina Faso is making huge strides in onion production, officially becoming the third-largest producer in West Africa, surpassing Senegal. This season, the country is set to harvest over 400,000 tonnes of onions, marking a historic milestone in its agricultural sector.

This surge is credited to expanded irrigation systems, improved seed varieties, and better access to regional markets. With this momentum, Burkina Faso is on track to become the ninth-largest onion producer in Africa, boosting its economy and creating thousands of jobs.

A proud moment for Burkinabé farmers and a major win for West African agriculture!

The History and Legacy of Disrupting African Leadership.

They lived and fought for us all, and for the people whom they've never known. Lions die, leaving behind their mane. Heroes leave this world leaving behind glory and valour to be remembered until the end of time.

Throughout history, the African continent has faced numerous challenges to its stability and progress. One recurring theme is the disruption of visionary African leadership. Many African leaders who championed independence, self-determination, and pan-Africanism faced opposition, including assassination, imprisonment, or exile.

Examples include:

- Omar Al-Muktar (Libya )
- Patrice Lumumba (Congo )
- Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana )
- Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso )
- Steve Biko (South Africa )
- Samora Machel (Mozambique )
- Muammar Gaddafi (Libya )

These leaders' visions for Africa's development and sovereignty often clashed with Europe and the USA's greedy interests. The legacies of these great African leaders continue to inspire Africans today.

Patrice Lumumba: The first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo was murdered by Belgium and USA. They tied him to a tree, shot him, buried him, excavated his remains, hacked his corpse into pieces and dissolved it in sulphuric acid. Since the brutal assassination of Patrice Lumumba by Europeans and European-Americans, the DRC has never been the same again. What was Lumumba's crime? He refused to hand over his country to the colonialists.

Captain Thomas Sankara: The President of Burkina Faso was assassinated in a bloody coup orchestrated by France. Since then, Burkina Faso has never been the same again.

Dr Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah: The first president of Ghana and the founding father of Pan-Africanism. His government was toppled by the USA terrorist group known as the CIA. Since then, there has been political instability in Ghana.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi: He was shot dead on the street of Libya by the Western-backed Al-Qaeda terrorists. The combined forces of Europe and the USA invaded Libya and bombed our beautiful country back to the stone age, leaving behind sorrow, tears and blood.

After perpetrating all manner of evil in Africa, they will tell Africans to forgive, forget and move on like nothing happened.

How can you bomb my home, kill my loved ones, assassinate my leader and expect me to forgive, forget and move on

It's exclusive to the USA and it's sophisticated technology makes it undetectable by any radar system on earth.

It can carry deadly missiles weighing several tons and capable of penetrating concrete up to 60 meters deep.

Iran Brought Israel On Their Knees, Now Begging For Ceasefire - Femi Fani-Kayode

According to him "I congratulate the Islamic Republic of Iran for standing up to the Zionist bullies and Talmudic troublers of the world, teaching them the lesson of their lives, bringing them to their knees and forcing them to go running to their big brother America for help in the field of battle and to beg for a ceasefire.

In its entire 77 year history the Zionist state has never suffered such shock, panic, trepidation, terror, infrastructural damage and shame and their cities have never been so savagely attacked and destroyed.

They picked a fight with a strong and proud nation and got not just a bloody nose but a thorough beating. Never will they launch an unprovoked attack on Iran again.

I thank God for the ceasefire and for the fact that lives will be saved. I commend the courage of the Armed Forces of Iran who were restrained in their military engagements and operations and who refused to commit atrocities, level Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to the ground or target civilians.

Finally I commend the remarkable strength, faith and fortitude of Ayatollah Khameini @fr_Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, who kept his head held high throughout this war and inspired millions of people in Iran and indeed from all over the world with his humility, resilience and courage. He refused to bow to Bibi Netanyahu or Trump and his faith in God shielded him from death, harm and defeat.

The Zionists and Americans not only failed in their objective to destroy all of Iran's nuclear enrichment plants and nuclear and ballistic missile threats, despite all pretentions to the contrary, but they also failed to kill Ayatollah Khameini, to effect regime change, to spark off a wider war in the Middle East, to take us one step closer to WW3 and to flatten the cities of Iran and slaughter its people in the same way as they have done in Gaza.

I pray the ceasefire holds and I urge the Iranians to continue to be vigilant and to watch and to pray because the Zionists hate peace and cannot be trusted.

Permit me to end with the following. I will continue to display and voice my utter and complete contempt and disgust for the child-killing, mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, genocidal, ethno-supremacist, fascist, racist, religiously fanatic, apartheid State of Israel as long as it continues to occupy the land of the Palestinians, to detain and torture the captives, to indulge in abominable and unspeakable practices, to bring turmoil to the Middle East, to bring war and destruction to its neighbours, to call its citizens God's chosen people and members of the master race and to slaughter the people of Gaza.

I urge every right-thinking person who has managed to retain his or her humanity, who seeks justice, who cherishes peace, who loves God, who regards the Palestinians as human beings and who has a modicum of decency and compassion to do same.

Until they refrain from their wicked ways and horrendous atrocities I shall continue to resist the sons and daughters of perdition, to expose the Ashkazi of Israel and the worshippers of Baal, to spit on their 'Star of Remphan' and to oppose the cult of the Synagogue of satan who falsely claim to be semites and Jews."

It is striking that when our leaders visit Russia or China, they receive a respectful welcome and are treated with considerable respect, as their value and the country they represent are duly acknowledged. In contrast, when they visit the USA or Europe, they are frequently treated with disrespect, akin to beggars. Although some may view the Russians as racist or rude, I maintain that their forthrightness is preferable to pretentiousness. This glaring disparity in treatment is an irrefutable fact, and it is essential that we reevaluate our relationships with nations that fail to show us the respect we warrant, instead treating us like minors or animals. As the world progresses at an unprecedented pace, it is imperative that countries like France and the USA desist from their haughty behavior, which is reminiscent of a bygone era.

The deal, signed on June 16, 2025, during the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) in Changsha, China, includes a large-scale titanium extraction project in Salima and the creation of a state-of-the-art mineral processing facility in the country.

Following the signing, the country’s Minister of Mining, Dr. Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, hailed the deal as a strategic breakthrough, emphasizing its alignment with President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera’s long-term vision of transforming mining into a key driver of the national economy.

“This MoU signals a new era; anchored on sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth. It aligns squarely with President Chakwera’s agenda to turn mining into a driver of national development,” Ng’oma said.

Notably, Hunan Sunwalk CEO and Founder Hou Xingwang described the agreement as a strategic milestone for both nations, stating that it will, “facilitate the flow of capital, technology, and skilled human resources between China and Malawi”

He also expressed interest in exploring investments in agriculture and other sectors to contribute to Malawi’s broader economic development.

Ng’oma emphasized that the partnership goes beyond raw material extraction, delivering technological transfer, strict environmental compliance, and human resource development.

He highlighted Hunan Sunwalk’s successful performance in Zimbabwe as a testament to the company’s capabilities.

Reassuring the public, the Minister said, “This is the first time Malawi has entered into such a comprehensive MoU with a multinational mining corporation.”

“We ensured that due diligence was conducted thoroughly, and we are confident that the interests of Malawians are well protected.” He added.

Officials from both parties described the agreement as a “win-win” venture, with potential to create thousands of new jobs, infrastructure development, and enhance economic growth.

The Chinese company has reportedly commenced exploration and feasibility studies in the Salima District.

*TOPIC: AVOIDING PITFALL IN MARRIAGE/ RELATIONSHIP*(Series 4)

*Scripture Reading:* Hosea 4:6b, John 6:63

*"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life]."*(AMP)

We started looking at pitfall to avoid in marriage yesterday, we shall continue from where we stopped today by God's Grace.

*2) Lacking of knowledge:* Hosea 4:6b says; *"my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge...."* Lacking of knowledge destroy a home. You must build your home constantly on the knowledge of God. With knowledge, you averted many ways of the devil. *It's an error to go into marriage/ relationship without adequate knowledge. The marriage/relationship is liable to crash without any notice.*

*3) Being double minded:* Being double minded with your spouse causes you to be unstable in all of your ways. You can never enjoy or see the best embedded in him/her because your thought, vision and mission are different. *You must constantly walk on the same frequency to avoid pitfall in your marriage.*

*4) The carnal mind is an enemy of God:* To avoid pitfall in your marriage/relationship, be spirit filled. Being carnal makes your spirit to be subjected to your flesh. *"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you —they are full of the Spirit and life.*"(John 6:63). Never give room to carnality, it makes you worldly and when you are worldly, you will be control and manipulated by the worldly system.

*5) Refusal to forgive your spouse:* Another pitfall in marriages is when you conclude never to forgive your spouse. And the moment you refuse to forgive your husband/wife hurts, it causes you to live in torment and hinder you from receiving God's promises. Matthew 6:14-15 says, *"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Create in me a clean heart o God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me to please you in my marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
