Should one avoid politics or emulate it?"And why should you care?"

  That is a great question that many people struggle with.  It is important to be aware of current political and social issues and an individual's role in the system.  Everyone has a basic right to express their opinion and stay informed about the state of affairs.  However, when it comes to politics, there is no one-size-fits-all answer.  On one hand, voicing an opinion can be empowering and can have an impact on the community. Why we may avoid politics  Avoiding politics can be beneficial when trying to keep the peace or maintain relationships with people of different backgrounds or beliefs.  In some cases, having meaningful conversations on political topics can be beneficial and insightful.  It is important to be mindful of how discussions on sensitive topics may affect your relationships and consider the environment when deciding to enter the Conversation .   Politics can be a divisive and emotionally charged topic, and talking about it...

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 01/02/2020 IPOB hails US republicans over Kanu’s invitation  to Trump’s rally Emmanueludeh646@gmail.com  * Says Biafra restoration imminent We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to appreciate the leadership of the US Republicans Party in Iowa for their invitation to our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a special guest at Trump campaign rally on Des Moines Iowa on Thursday January 30, 2020. Our leader was granted entry to the VIP section of the arena reserved for the top echelon of the Republican Party in the state including the Iowa State Governor Kim Reynolds whom he met briefly. It is ironic that a man injuriously labelled a terrorist by a biased, corrupt, discredited and dysfunctional judiciary in Nigeria is being accorded VIP status in an event attended by the president of the United States of America whereas Nigeria has been placed on a list of terror ravaged countries banned from entering the US. What this proves...

According to the source, he immediately sent for his bodyguards to get his phones so he could make some calls, but the embassy allegedly told him he could not make calls within the precincts of the visa-issuing section of the embassy.

Iran Mistakenly Shot Down Ukraine Jet - photos

US officials say they believe the Ukrainian International Airlines Boeing 737-800 was hit by a missile, CBS says. Ukraine earlier said it was examining whether a missile strike brought down the aircraft - but Iran ruled this out. The crash came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.
