                        UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT BRAIN JOTTER GIRLS AFIRE 



 Once upon a time, there was a young man named Brynjota, who was born on February 5th, 1995, into a family of entertainers in Nigeria. Brynjota, also known as "Brain Jota," was the youngest of five siblings, and from a young age, he was always the funny one in the family. He grew up in Lagos, where he attended the University of Lagos and studied Business Administration.

After completing his studies, Brynjota started making funny jokes while in school, but he never thought of himself as a comedian. In an interview, he revealed that comedy just came naturally to him, and it was more of a lifestyle than a career path. He started making comedy skits in 2018, not to become popular, but just for fun, and to catch crews.

In 2020, Brynjota's first viral video was about suicide, but it was flagged down by Instagram. Despite this setback, Brynjota continued to create comedy skits, and his popularity grew rapidly. He now has over 1.5 million followers on Instagram and over 400,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Brynjota's signature green shirt is a way for him to stand out and be recognized by his fans. He revealed that the repetition of the green-colored clothes was a deliberate move to help people recognize him after some persons reposted his skits but covered his Instagram name with a watermark, which was discouraging.

Despite his struggles before finding success in the comedy business, Brynjota now feels fulfilled and happy to be living his best life doing what he loves and getting paid for it. His estimated net worth is $150,000, and he has worked with other top-rated Nigerian comedians and personalities such as Don Jazzy.

So, if you ever come across Brynjota, don't be fooled by his on-screen persona. He's a hardworking and talented individual who is dedicated to making people laugh and living his best life.

The US has temporarily suspended operations at its embassy in Sudan


 The US has temporarily suspended operations at its embassy in Sudan and evacuated its diplomatic personnel and their families due to the violent civil war in the country. The US was in the vanguard of the evacuation operations, which involved a raid by special forces to evacuate around 100 people, including embassy staff and their families. The violence in the country has escalated, with the central prison in Khartoum collapsing into violent anarchy, and there are real concerns that the country is on the brink of anarchy. The situation is not conducive to conducting a larger military evacuation of American citizens, and the best advice is for them to stay sheltered in place, stay safe and secure, and off the streets of Khartoum. The US military is flying unmanned aerial assets over the convoy of several dozen Americans that are making their way to Port Sudan. The US is also deploying naval assets to Port Sudan in the Red Sea in case Americans need to be transported elsewhere or need any kind of care.

THE WORLD AT WAR

 


Foreign Finland has officially joined the NATO military alliance, ending seven decades of relative peace in Europe. This move also marks the dissolution of Nordic neutrality, leaving no more neutral territory to separate Russia and NATO military lines. The Arc of Confrontation has suddenly doubled overnight, and Europe is now facing potential conflict and turmoil.

The Yalta consensus, which maintained peace with tension between the big three at the end of the Second World War, has been broken. Western leaders welcomed Finland into the military alliance with open arms, while Russia responded with massive combat training, including aerial bombings and the deployment of soldiers and nuclear-capable missiles along the Finnish border.

The Baltic Sea has effectively become a NATO lake, and Russia's stakes in controlling the Crimean Peninsula have gone up. Kaliningrad, the headquarters of Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet, has been deemed the world's most dangerous place by some military strategists. It houses an estimated 12,000 soldiers, military equipment, tanks, ships, and aircraft, along with nuclear-capable Iskander missile systems. Russia's strategic location allows it to project power into the heart of Europe.

Europe has not learned the bitter lesson that hostile military alliances never establish peace of any kind. The war in Ukraine has exposed the terrorist fault lines on the European continent, and the steady expansion of the NATO military alliance to Russia's doorstep has sowed the seeds of future conflict.

Finland, previously ranked as the world's happiest nation, now finds itself on the front lines of the ongoing tensions between Russia and the West. It remains to be seen what the future holds, but one thing is clear: Europe must learn from its past mistakes and work towards finding a lasting peaceful solution to this ongoing crisis.







Eyewitnesses Report Hospital Directly Targeted Amid Violence in Sudan


In Sudan, what is being called an attempted coup has led to heavy shelling in the capital, Khartoum, with at least 180 people reported killed over the weekend. The military, led by Abdel Fattah Al-burhan, is fighting for dominance with Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hamad, who leads the paramilitary rapid support forces. Hospitals have come under fire, with both sides accused of hitting them in the fighting. Eyewitness accounts from doctors on the ground have reported that the paramilitary rapid support force directly targeted a hospital where wounded armed forces soldiers and their families were being treated. Both military leaders were key allies in subverting Sudan's nascent democracy after the popular uprising in 2019 which deposed Sudan's longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir. The memories of those protests and the promised transition from military to democratic civilian rule are slowly fading. There is no end in sight at the moment, and many people are without water, food, electricity, and no way to bury their dead.

On one of the world’s most dangerous migrant routes, a cartel makes millions off the American dream

 



In the humid jungle of the Darién Gap, a vast crowd of people huddled together in flimsy tents, waiting for their chance to cross the treacherous terrain that separated them from the American dream. They had come from all over South and Central America, driven by economic desperation and the hope of a better life. But the journey ahead was perilous, and only the strongest would survive.
Among them were masked robbers and rapists, hardened criminals who saw the trek as an opportunity to prey on the vulnerable. Others were exhausted, bitten by snakes or nursing broken ankles. Hunger was a constant companion, and the ever-present threat of murder hung in the air.
The journey would take them through remote, roadless mountainous rainforest, a terrain so forbidding that it had earned the nickname "the Gap". But for these migrants, it was the only path to freedom. And so they risked it all, paying smugglers at least $400 for access to the jungle passage, and absorbing all the risks themselves.
The CNN team that joined them on their journey saw firsthand the hardships they faced. Traversing muddy, dense rainforest and treacherous rivers, they pushed themselves to their limits. They had to choose who to help and who to leave behind, a heartbreaking decision that would determine life or deat
At the end of their journey, they reached a government-run camp in Panama, where migrants were received and processed before continuing their journey north to the United States. It was a moment of relief, but also of uncertainty. Would they make it to their final destination? Or would they fall victim to the dangers that lay ahead?
For the cartels that controlled the passage, these migrants were a new commodity, perhaps even more valuable than drugs. Each one paid a fee for the chance to cross, and the risks they took were their own. The smuggling trade earned the cartels tens of millions of dollars annually, but the human cost was incalculable
As the number of migrants crossing the Gap continued to rise, the question remained: how many more would risk it all for the chance of a better life? And what would become of those who made it through, battered and bruised, but still holding onto hope?
The Darién Gap, a remote and dangerous jungle region connecting Colombia and Panama, is one of the most treacherous migration routes in the world. A recent report by CNN highlights the harrowing journey that migrants face, including risking death from wildlife and exhaustion, crossing the treacherous jungle with little more than backpacks and one bottle of water. A record 40,438 children crossed the region in 2022, with half under the age of five, and around 900 unaccompanied. With gang violence, failed governments, and malnutrition crises prevalent in their home countries, many migrants have been forced to flee, although the report notes that changes to US immigration policy have added to the uncertainty faced by those on the move. The US, Panama, and Colombia have recently launched a 60-day campaign aimed at ending illegal migration through the Darién Gap, while also offering “new lawful and flexible pathways for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees as an alternative to irregular migration,” although no further details have been released.
