 By Ben Ahanonu Materialism, which borders on greed and selfishness, is one perennial plague that has bedeviled man from time immemorial. The dictionary defines it as the belief that money and possessions are more important than art, religion, moral beliefs etc. A careful examination of the circumstances that culminated in the development and emergence of imperialism will expose the materialistic driving force. During his last years of captivity, Napoleon, the French imperialist, who dreamt of conquering Europe and the world opined that: “Brute force has never attained anything durable.” This evergreen remark by Napoleon resonates to date. It should be recalled that it was with brute force, inspired by materialism, that the Romans held sway in the world for five centuries, yet everything they laboured to build disintegrated in the end. According to historical accounts, the industrial revolution enabled Europe and the United States of America to produce more goods than they could se...

By  nytimespost As we enter the New Year all eyes are once again drawn to the Middle East, where there has been no peace in this Season of Goodwill. Having comprehensively defeated Hezbollah in Lebanon and emasculated Hamas in Gaza, Israel now faces a shift in its strategic focus. With the defeat of these two major adversaries, Israel’s attention will inevitably turn to the threat posed by the Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis, an Iran-backed militia, have grown increasingly influential and aggressive, and their connection to Tehran amplifies their significance within the broader regional dynamics. Israel can now confront disrupting this new menace before it can gain any more momentum. The Houthis are not new players in the Middle East. A Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged in Yemen in the 1990s, their rise has been characterized by a mix of religious fervour, military savvy, and a complex set of alliances, most notably with Iran. Their arsenal is formi...

 By BUSINESS INSIDER AFRICA    When I was in my 40s, if you had told me I'd be writing this from Mauritius after months of traveling across Europe, I would have laughed. Kelly Benthall and her husband left Texas to retire early and travel the world.Kelly Benthall Kelly Benthall, 53, and her husband decided they wanted to retire early and travel the world. Part of the couple's plan for early retirement was not to leave an inheritance for their six kids. They've been traveling across Europe and Africa since August and are happy with the decision. Back then, I had a more traditional view of retirement: I would work until 65, leave a nest egg for my kids, and settle into a quieter life. But at 53, my husband, Nigel, and I quit our jobs in oil and gas, traded comfort for adventure, and hit the road. To retire early and travel, we restructured our finances and mapped out a plan to spend every penny. Deciding not to leave an inheritance for our six kids was a crucial part of the...

 By Pulse Sports  Stanley Nwabali NFF President Ibrahim Gusau The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has reacted to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali having faced a devastating start to the new year after he announced the loss of his mother on January 1, 2025.  This tragic news follows closely on the heels of his father's death just two months prior, marking a profoundly sorrowful period for the young athlete. Nwabali, who plays for Chippa United in South Africa, shared the heartbreaking news via his social media account, expressing his grief as reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria.

In response to this trag...
