HU Staff: Kecia Gayle  @kecia.kae The new series “Squid Game” which made its debut Sept. 17, is on the track to becoming Netflix’s most popular show. Although the the Korean survival drama is on pace to surpass Netflix’s current record holders—“Bridgerton” and “Lupin,” Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk is sharing that the show’s success didn’t come easy at all. ___________________________________________________ Hwang talked about the long and stressful process of trying to get the show picked up. He wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years. According to the WSJ, studios initially thought the concept was "too grotesque and too unrealistic." He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles. However, Netflix took an interest in Hwang’s project in 2019, and in that same year, the project was given the green light. While speaking to The Korea Times he said: “the world has changed into a place where such peculiar, viole

NAFDAC WARNS NIGERIANS OF THIS PRACTICE

Image
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has advised Nigerians against consuming frozen poultry products and other food items preserved with formalin.   Formalin is a poisonous chemical popularly used to preserve the human body in mortuaries.   NAFDAC’s spokesman, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, who gave the word of advice in an interview with NAN, said unscrupulous business owners had been using formalin to preserve poultry products, chicken and turkey, in particular. Formalin is capable of preserving such products for weeks before they get to consumers, he warned.   “NAFDAC is alerting Nigerians to this practice. There are enough poultry products in the country than to resort to frozen chicken smuggled in, despite Federal Government’s ban,” Jimoh said   The NAFDAC spokesman also called the attention of consumers to the economic import of patronizing business owners who smuggle poultry products into the country. He noted that if such patronage continued, indigeno

Reasons for october 4th outage #facebook

Image
To all the people and businesses around the world who depend on us, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by today’s outage across our platforms. We’ve been working as hard as we can to restore access, and our systems are now back up and running. The underlying cause of this outage also impacted many of the internal tools and systems we use in our day-to-day operations, complicating our attempts to quickly diagnose and resolve the problem. Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt. Our services are now back online and we’re actively working to fully return them to regular operations. We want to make clear that there was no malicious activity behind this outage — its root cause was a faulty configuration

This is the Theban Trinity, consisting of Amun, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu. They were worshipped in ancient Egypt (Mizraim) 2500 years before Christ, during the time of Moses. In Deuteronomy 6:4, Moses gave Israel a strong warning against the Theban Trinity. He said “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD”. Notice what they are holding? They are holding an Ankh. This is one of the most demonic symbols on Earth. The Ankh is often depicted being given to Pharaohs as an assurance that they (the gods) would sustain the Pharaoh’s life in the afterlife. One of the things that will shock many people is the fact that Christ did not die on a Cross. The Scriptures never said so. I can see you now getting agitated. Christ existed. He is the Son of God. He lived, died and resurrected as a propitiation for our sins and there is no way to God EXCEPT through Christ. I did not say The Bible never said Christ died on The Cross. It does. I said the SCRIPTURES never said so. The Bible is a

In a video interview posted on Channel’s Television Facebook page, Obasanjo said that borrowing and accumulating debt for the next generations to come is criminal. . He said, “If you want to build a commercial house and you go and borrow money, and you have 50 per cent of your own money and you borrow 50 per cent and in five years, you pay the 50 per cent that you borrowed. That is a wise thing to do. But if you have to go and borrow money for you to be able to feed yourself and your family, that is a stupid thing to do. --
