🇧🇯 BENIN has spoken, even if the coup failed, the message did not Congratulations to the courageous sons of Benin, Lt. Colonel Pascal Tigri, Captain Ousmane Samary, Captain-Major Sambieni Castro, and others. Whether the coup succeeded or not is not the point. The point is that you dared to confront a system that has silenced, ignored and oppressed the very people it claims to govern. Your actions exposed the truth the world tries to hide: Bad governance is crippling Benin. President Talon's leadership is choking the nation. Favoritism within the military is destroying morale. Soldiers who die in the line of duty are forgotten and their families abandoned. Northern Benin bleeds from insecurity while leaders pretend all is well. Corruption eats its roots. France exploit and control the nation. Leaders play puppet masters. These are the grievances of a nation betrayed. You have reminded Africa that resistance is not dead. You have reminded the continent that neocolonial puppetry can and must be challenged. You have reminded oppressed people everywhere that silence is not the only option. The people of Benin and many Africans across the continent are proud of your courage, not because of the weapons you carried, but because of the truth you exposed. Revolutions are not always won in a day. Sometimes they begin with a spark, and that spark becomes a fire the people carry forward. History will remember you as men who stood for a wounded nation.

FACT CHECK ✔️ Another Igbo Bandit! Ethnic profiling is dangerous and misleading. When society labels every crime as “Fulani banditry,” it creates space for criminals from other backgrounds to disguise themselves and exploit that stereotype. We must condemn crime without tribal tagging. Justice has no tribe, crime has no ethnicity. Demand accuracy. Reject profiling. Promote unity.

Model Mary Magdalene Found D+ad Years After Accident That Left Her With ‘Uni-B%ob’ Mary Magdalene, the Canadian-Mexican Instagram model known for her extreme cosmetic enhancements, has reportedly d+ed. According to reports, the influencer, whose real name was Denise Jarvis, was in Thailand when she fell from the ninth floor of a high-rise apartment building. Her d+ath was also confirmed by her friend, Eden “the Doll” Estrada, who shared a tribute online. Mary previously gained international attention after one of her massive br£ast implants ruptured, an incident that left her with what followers described as a “uni-b%ob.” In a February 2023 interview, Mary revealed that she began undergoing plastic surgery at 18 and viewed her repeated procedures as a form of thrill-seeking. She compared her obsession with cosmetic surgery to extreme sports, saying she chased bigger injections instead of riskier physical feats. The implant accident later became a turning point in her life. She said it led to a spiritual awakening and a desire to abandon what she described as a “bimbo” image in favor of a more natural appearance. By March 2023, Mary had undergone a br£ast reduction surgery costing nearly $33,000, reducing her implants to a C-cup. She shared the results publicly, explaining that the change symbolized a new chapter focused on health and personal growth rather than extremes.

Update: Burkina Faso has now moved the 11 detained Nigerian Soldiers into isolated detention. Apparently, the Nigerian government has been unable to formally prove to the Junta that the C-130 Aircraft was indeed flying to Portugal. The Junta suspects the aircraft was a spill from the ones deployed to thwart the Benin Coup, as alleged by sources close to the story. In December 2023, Burkina Faso arrested 4 French nationals in Ouagadougou and accused them of espionage (spies). The French government denied they were DGSE spies (Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure) The Junta demanded €150M and some equipments in exchange for their release. After prolonged negotiations and mediation by Morocco. The Burkinabè government finally released them exactly one year later in December of 2024 after a reported payment of €60M handled by the Moroccan government. France however denied making any payment up till date. But reports in the francophone countries insist the Burkinabè government were indeed compensated with €60M and some heavy artillery equipments. As it stands, the Burkinabè are ready to strech it to their favour, unless the Nigerian Government accelerate talks.

After they crawled out of ... cars, the woman says; “So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days." The man replied," I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God! The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely damaged, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she handed the bottle over to the man. The man nodded his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and handed it back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" She replies, "Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police to come and collect their evidence." (drunk driver's offence) " Adam ate the apple again! "😭
