Russia on Wednesday, February 12, rejected any possibility of swapping occupied Ukrainian territory in a future peace deal, just hours after launching a missile and drone attack on Kyiv that killed one person and injured at least four others. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had suggested exchanging Ukrainian-controlled parts of Russia’s Kursk region for Russian-occupied areas in eastern and southern Ukraine in an interview published late Tuesday. However, the Kremlin dismissed the proposal outright. “This is impossible,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “Russia has never and will never discuss the topic of exchanging its territory.” He further stated that Ukrainian forces holding

OKE-ITE (The Great Pot): What Is It All About?
Wed, 12 Feb 2025 19:28:49 +0000

OKE-ITE is a deadly money-drawing charm. Okeite is the modern-day version of “Ogwu Ego” which many Nigerian youths have gone into because of the belief that it is capable of attracting wealth without bloodshed. It is simply the mixture of herbs, animals, and sometimes human parts depending on the individual instituting it. Okeite is a form of ‘ogwu ike’ that operates outside of our natural principle (“Chi na Ezumezu”) as such, it is not bound to our ancestral norms and values and simply operates on commands. Generally, Okeite is believed not to attract anything that is outside of our destiny.
