Kulture Wave Beauty by Cardi B Joins Fight Against Skin Bleaching in Africa |
In collaboration with UNESCO, Cardi B's Skincare brand is set to mitigate the devastating effects of trends in skin bleaching in the tropical regions of Africa |
LOS ANGELES, California, March 8, 2023/ -- Kulture Wave Beauty by Cardi B, a leading beauty brand, announced today its commitment to fighting against the practice of skin bleaching in Africa. Skin bleaching, also known as skin lightening or whitening, is a dangerous trend that has become prevalent in many African countries, where it is associated with beauty and social status. Are you tired of seeing harmful skin-bleaching products advertised and promoted to achieve "beauty" in Africa? The popular rapper has recently announced the projected launch of her own line of skincare products that are designed to celebrate melanin-rich skin and discourage people from using dangerous chemicals on their bodies. In this article, we'll dive deeper into why Cardi B's brand is such a game-changer for African beauty standards and how it can help steer the conversation away from harmful beauty practices. For more information about Kulture Wave Beauty by Cardi B and its commitment to fighting against skin bleaching in Africa, please visit the brand's website at www.KWBIManagement.com Distributed by APO Group on behalf of KWBI Management,LLC.

2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria: Delusions of Grandeur of Peter Obi, Chimamanda and the Obidients
2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria: Delusions of Grandeur of Peter Obi, Chimamanda and the Obidients
The followers of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) need a reality check for their bloated political Delusions of Grandeur for his victory in the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Making the loudest noise does not mean you are making sense.
Emotional immaturity, intellectual insecurity and political hypocrisy of majority of them are glaring from their widely circulated lies of demagogy and now worsened by the intellectual hypocrisy of the celebrated Nigerian novelist and feminist, Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie who is misinforming the ignorant foreign news media on the current affairs in Nigeria. She has been posing and posturing in conceit and deceit to show Peter Obi as a new political personality. A lie.
She has known him since he became the Governor of Anambra State in South eastern Nigeria from March to November 2006, February to May 2007, and June 2007 to March 2014 as a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and later decamped to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in 2014.
He was in the PDP when the party lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 presidential election.
He was a leading member of corrupt and incompetent administration of the former President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP that failed to tackle the insurgency of the Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in northern Nigeria and failed to rescue the unfortunate hundreds of Chibok secondary school girls abducted by Boko Haram in April, 2014.
On 12 October 2018, Peter Obi became the running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election and they lost to the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Oluyemi Osinbajo of the APC.
When Peter Obi was in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie rejected the national honour given to her by the Nigerian government.
She and Obi are from the same Anambra State and of the same Catholic Church.
In May 2022, Obi became the Labour Party nominee for President of Nigeria in the 2023 presidential election, after defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Living in denial of the truth is foolishness.
It is delusional for the followers and supporters of Peter Obi to claim that he won the 2023 presidential election held on February 25 as the presidential candidate of the dysfunctional Labour Party (LP) without formal functional offices in the 36 states and federal capital of Abuja.
During the last presidential election in 2019, LP had only 5, 074 votes nationwide for the presidential candidate Alhaji Muhammed Usman Zaki and his running mate, Chief Ezekiel Akpan.
LP has had only one state governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, who ran successfully as Governor of Ondo State under the banner of the LP for a period of two terms (2009-2017). Then he returned to the PDP in 2021.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu achieved more than all the state governors combined as the Governor of Lagos State from 1999 - 2007.
He made Lagos attractive to FDI.
His economic blue print made Lagos the 4th biggest economy in Africa: the Startups capital of Africa and with the most Unicorns and attracted Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
Majority of people attacking the APC do not understand the indices of human capacity development and achievements of Nigeria under the government of the APC.
Over 10 million new jobs have been created since the administration of the APC came to power in 2015.
Most of the jobs have been created in Lagos.
Lagos is the best and safest state to do business in Nigeria.
The economic development master.plan of Bola Tinubu, include the Eko Atlantic City; the Lekki Port Project, a $1.5 billion project to develop Lekki port in Lagos.
The acceleration of any ecosystem depends on the environment.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made Lagos the best place to do business in SubSaharan Africa.
Achievements of the Administration of the APC
Majority of the supporters of Peter Obi are ignorant of the unprecedented achievements of Nigeria under the dynamic economic policies of the administration of the APC since 2015 - 2023.
The booming fintech sector created more than 2 million jobs from the POS vendors on every street to those trading on the internet with over 300,000 online traders.
There were over 41 million micro-enterprises in Nigeria in 2017, which represented over 99 percent of the micro. And the numbers have increased.
Number of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria in 2017.

$256 billion: The total sum of money Nigerians transferred electronically in 2019.
Digital payments in Nigeria have surged more than fivefold since 2014, hitting 105 trillion naira ($256 billion) by 2019. This rise was partially fueled by companies like Flutterwave and Paystack, which developed easy-to-use payment solutions for individuals and businesses.
This is why it wasn’t a surprise when U.S. payments giant Stripe paid over $200 million to acquire Paystack in October 2020, or Tiger Global valued Flutterwave at over $1 billion in March. Others are also getting involved: The Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement Scheme (NIBSS) and Interswitch have developed infrastructure like real-time transfers that fintechs rely on.

All these unprecedented achievements happened during the administration of the APC with the visionary leadership of President Muhammad Buhari and tech savvy Vice President Oluyemi Osinbajo.

The acceleration of any ecosystem depends on the environment.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made Lagos the best place to do business in SubSaharan Africa.
Hundreds of thousands of Igbos did not come out to vote on Saturday, February 25, because of their fear of attacks by different fringe elements of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
that threatened to enforce the Sit-At-Home order declared by the Simon Ekpa-led faction of IPOB that the 2023 general elections will not take place in the South East geo-political zone of the country.
Peter Obi has not condemned the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and this has implications for his presidential ambition, because majority of Muslims and others, especially non+Igbos who are against the breakup of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will not vote for him.
It is even unbelievable that Peter Obi defeated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos State, the home state of the presidential candidate of the APC!
Wherever the LP won, they were happy and even claimed that they should have won more votes than the national ruling party of the incumbent administration of the Nigerian government.
How can you claim you have won in more states than the APC that has been ruling the federal government since 2015 to date; with 22 governors in 22 states of the 36 states in Nigeria; majority of Senators in the Senate; majority of members in the House of Representatives and the Houses of Assembly in the 36 states with functional offices in all the states and in Abuja.
Peter Obi and the Labour Party cannot win the presidential election in more states than the national ruling party.
Peter Obi actually exploited the gullibility and political naivety of majority of Nigerians by widespread defamation of the personality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and labelling the APC as an evil political party and lied that the APC has failed in the administration of the federal government. They deliberately ignored the outstanding achievements of the APC since 2015 to date.
The Labour Party accused the APC of rigging the presidential election. But I have a video showing the LP rigging the election.
They lied by calling Peter Obi "Mr. Clean" and incorruptible politician. But Peter Obi was linked to the misappropriations of funds by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) when he was a leading member of the former national ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, the MD of Fidelity Bank was arrested by the EFCC and he told his interrogators that he was under instructions from Peter Obi, believed to be one of the owners of the bank, to go to former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s residence in Abuja for a “financial transaction that could benefit the bank.”
Peter Obi was once the Chairman and is a major stakeholder in Fidelity Bank.
He is among those named in the Pandora Papers for international financial crimes in illicit foreign assets.
PANDORA PAPERS: Inside Peter Obi’s secret businesses — and how he broke the law
Peter Obi serially violated the law by failing to declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies and assets he tucked away in secrecy havens.

It is really baffling that Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie would endorse such a character, because they are from the same tribe and church when she should know that suspects in similar situations in the United States of America would have been on trial for their crimes and not contesting for public office.

February 25, 2023 Elections: The Beginning of a New Nigeria
February 25, 2023 Elections: The Beginning of a New Nigeria
Only Patriotic Nigerians Are Celebrating the Victory of Democracy
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the national ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) won the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria that was held on Saturday, February 25. He defeated Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) and presidential candidates of other political parties.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023 presented the certificate of return to the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu in Abuja.
*AN ELECTION...*
An election that has turned Lagos from APC to another party other than PDP;
An election in which El-rufai could not deliver Kaduna;
An election in which Ganduje could not deliver Kano;
An election where Labour Party won in Nassarawa;
An election where atleast 7 popular incubent governors lost their bid for the Senate despite spending massively, to "nobodys" who barely spent anything;
An election where an Okada man and a driver have been reported to have won a seat in the Federal House of Representatives;
An election where the son of a nobody has finally been able to become somebody without the help of anybody;
Yet, you want to rubbish that election?
Because we didn't reverse it all completely?
How do we not see that THE CITIZENS have won already?!
How can we not see that the will of a people has prevailed over established political "structures"!
How can we not see that this is a MASSIVE win for democracy, and then plan to build on this even if the overall result doesn't fall as desired?
How can we not see that this is indeed the first election that the voice of the people has really mattered and has officially killed the age long narrative that *votes don't count*?
Shouldn't we start to celebrate this massive win for Nigeria;
Knowing it's the beginning of massive things to come?
Knowing that something has shifted and true change beckons?
Will blood on the streets be the only indication of change? And what guarantees does that offer?
Do we not see, that what happens from here is the most important thing?
Do we not see that how we build from here, is what matters most?
Do we not yet understand that anger is NOT a strategy and doesn't exactly produce the right result, but it is only an emotion
which, if channelled postively, should birth the right strategies?
Do we not yet see that we have achieved for the first time what has been impossible since the rebirth of our democracy in 1999?!
Are we so blinded by unguided passion that we will rather throw out the baby with the bathwater?
And cannot see that a massive thing just occured?
How many of you calling for blood on the street, is truly ready and willing to shed his/her blood?
Have we not checked history?
Have we not seen that those that died for change still did not fast forward the process of change?
For change still happened completely, ONLY in the process of time.
Can we therefore not see the massive step we have already taken?
And for those shouting, "The violent shall take it by force";
Did you not read your reference completely to understand that violence is the language of KINGDOMS and not DEMOCRACIES?
What exactly do we want?
Outside of the bandwagon mentality and somewhat unguided passion, have we truly defined what we want?
Every election Nigeria has had from 1999, with the exception of NONE, has been marred with protests, disenfranchisement of voters, and violence of massive proportions!
This election is not different, neither is it unique in that regard!
Some of the "tipexing" and "record changing" we have seen, which gives us the illusion that something monumentally wrong happened this time around, has actually been happening in much worse dimensions since 1999.
The only difference which we can't seem to appreciate is that for the first time, we have now been given a system in BVAS, that will shine light on whatever happens in the backend, and therefore, for the first time in our democratic history, the average citizen has been given eyes behind the scenes!
What a WIN!!!
All of this, therefore, makes this
election, the "closest" to CREDIBLE, or if you like, the closest to REALITY that we have ever had!
The pointers are littered all over the results we see!
We must really learn to separate things and not muddle them up with emotions.
We must be sincere enough with ourselves, to know when we have stopped fighting for our country and are just now performing for our individual egos and straddling the lines of arrogance.
If there be any grievances as would legitimately be expected, should we not then go through the established legal framework to address same?
NIGERIA HAS WON!
This election shows that much!
This victory, however, is a continium;
And in our lifetime, we will enjoy the fullness of it!

Peter Obi and the Political Realities of the 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria
Peter Obi and the Political Realities of the 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria
Millions of Igbos will not vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the presidential election on Saturday February 25, 2023, even though he is the preferred choice of majority of Igbos among his fellow Igbo presidential candidates of the other political parties.
Living in denial of the facts on the political realities in Nigeria is sheer stupidity. Because, these realities will determine the outcome of the presidential election.
There are 371 ethnic groups in the most populous country in Africa; the largest of which are the Yoruba, Hausa and the Igbo. These ethnic groups consist of multiple tribes enumerating up to 371 with about 500 languages.
Majority of non-Igbos don't like Igbos; especially the non-Igbo ethnic groups in Edo State, Delta State, Rivers State, Cross River State and Akwa Ibom State, because of the wickedness of the Igbos during the Nigerian civil war from 1967-1970.
They have not forgotten their agonies under the defunct Republic of Biafra before their liberation by the victorious Nigerian Armed Forces.
Igbos Have Ruled Nigeria As President, Military Head Of State And Senate
Only those who don't know the political history of Nigeria will say that the Igbo tribe has been marginalized or deprived of the political leadership of Nigeria. Because the Igbos have had it all even before the Independence of Nigeria from the British Empire on October 1, 1960.
The Right Honourable: Nnamdi Benjamin Azikiwe was the third and first ever Nigerian Governor-General of Nigeria; the representative of the Monarch of the United Kingdom in Colonial Nigeria and the Nigerian Head of State from 16 November 1960 – 1 October 1963.
Nnamdi Benjamin Azikiwe, PC (16 November 1904 – 11 May 1996), popularly known as "Zik of Africa", was a Nigerian statesman and political leader who served as the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966.

The Igbos have had more Presidents of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria than any other tribe in Nigeria since 1960 to date.

2005–2007 PDP
The Igbos should stop all their brouhaha over the Office of the President of Nigeria. They have been more favoured in the national leadership of Nigeria than the other tribes.
There are millions of Igbos who will not vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), because of the Inter-tribal conflicts and rivalries among Igbos.
Igbos in the Delta State don't like Igbos in the south eastern states
Igbos from Abia don't like those in Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra.
There are deep rooted ethnic rivalries among Igbos.
The 2023 presidential election is a sort of Referendum of the Igbos who want the restoration of their defunct Republic of Biafra and the Igbos who want to belong to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Peter Obi and Nnamdi Kanu.
It is a contest for the leadership of the Igbos between Peter Obi and the detained Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB.
True members and supporters of IPOB will not vote in the presidential election and other elections in Nigeria.
Because, it is betrayal of the mission of IPOB to participate in Nigerian elections for the sovereignty of Nigeria.
Hundreds of thousands of Igbos will not come out to vote on Saturday, February 25, because of the fear of attacks by different fringe elements of IPOB that will enforce the Sit-At-Home order declared by the Simon Ekpa-led faction of IPOB that the 2023 general elections will not take place in the South East geo-political zone of the country.
Peter Obi has not condemned the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and this has implications for his presidential ambition, because majority of Muslims and others, especially non-Igbos who are against the breakup of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will not vote for him.

Content Creators Earn More on Blogger Than TikTok
Content Creators Earn More on Blogger Than TikTok
Monetizing a blog with Google AdSense or another advertising platform may provide earnings of about $2 to $5 per 1,000 page views.
A blog that receives 10,000 views per day may generate about $20 to $50 in income.- 16 December, 2022.
TikTok pays around $0.02 and $0.04 for every 1,000 views. These are reports based on payments received through the TikTok Creator Fund.
This is a program that TikTok introduced in 2021 in a bid to compensate content creators.
There are content creators making thousands of dollars monthly on Blogger from sponsored posts and adverts on their blogs.
As a publisher, you will get 68 percent of the click amount (and 51 percent when it comes to Google AdSense for search). The commission you will receive depends mainly on the competition as well as CPC in a niche. In most cases, the commission per click will range between $0.20 and $15.30
- August, 2022.
Meta should pay content creators on Facebook and Instagram.
My premier blog on Blogger, Nigerians Report Online has over 200, 000 pageviews monthly and should be making from $5, 000 - $10, 000 monthly. But I have not really monetized it. 70 percent of the viewers are located in the United States of America.
