Witnessing the Devastation of the US Embassy in Baghdad After Iraq Protest (Images)

Visual evidence has surfaced, displaying the destruction caused by Iran-backed militants to the US Embassy during protests that took place on Tuesday and Wednesday in Baghdad.

Reno Omokri’s Advice to Buhari’s Government: Borrow Wisdom, Not Billions

In response to the Nigerian government's plan to borrow $29.6 billion from foreign institutions to fund projects, Reno Omokri tweeted that what needs to be borrowed is wisdom.    The former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan criticized the "increasing foreign debt since President Buhari assumed office in 2015."   Reno Omokri pointed out that the Buhari-led administration has tripled Nigeria's foreign debt by borrowing more than other governments in the last 30 years combined.    His tweet read;     “In 2020, instead of Nigeria’s leaders to borrow $29.6 billion, what they should borrow is WISDOM. “In the last 4 years, this administration has tripled our foreign debt by borrowing more than in the last 30 years COMBINED. Borrow sense not money.”
