Pro-sovereign media like The Spearhead can only do so much in raising the mental level of our people.
The real magic bullet is the primary and secondary education syllabus. If I ever hold state power, there will be a once-in-a-century earthquake at the Ministry of Education. The new syllabus will not be an updated version of the current one. It will be a completely different one that nobody is familiar with. A syllabus designed to prepare children to understand their developing country and grow up to take control of its destiny, not one designed to prepare them to pass anstract exams so that they can be plucked and harvested by oyibo people.
When I get my way, by the time a Nigerian kid writes their junior WAEC, they will know exactly who they are, where they come from, their place in the world, and where they are going. That's the only way to sweep out the decrepit millennial and Gen X generations who are already beyond redemption, and replace them with younger Gen Z's, Alphas and Betas who understand how the world works and know how to be useful to themselves within it.
I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.
The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.
At. All.
The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.
So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.
Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.
That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.
If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.
Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.
Them no really send any part of your papa at all.
I told everybody that the minute those 200 US soldiers deployed permanently in Nigeria, Tinubu won his 2nd term and any "opposition" still talking about "2027 election" is just doing political dance and drama.
Some people are still asking for explanation because they still don't get it. The fool is still trying to understand the game after it has ended and the other players have gone home.
Mr. David Hundeyin: While I understand your position here, you are entirely too harsh on the poor masses in Nigeria in whose name you are supposedly fighting for.
Yes, it is undeniably true that many Nigerians do not see the bigger picture.
They do not see how foreign corporations are funding the insecurity currently ravaging the North, how the IMF and World Bank are basically boardroom terror organizations destroying the economy of the Global South, or how the Nigerian government only serves the vile interests of a select few elites and their puppet masters in Western capitals.
All of this is true, but what is equally true is this: it is not this poor majority that will change this country.
This may seem counterintuitive, as the poor are the ones feeling the crushing weight of a dwindling economy, hyperinflation, and an epileptic power grid.
But as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels outlined in lovely book "The Communist Manifesto", a true change in government can only happen when the classes of society hold hands and unite under a common umbrella.
The poor and uneducated form the overwhelming majority of society and obviously possess the brute muscle to pressure the system.
However, they cannot articulate a well-structured plan, they cannot write manifestos, and they cannot understand the complex logistics required to sustain a massive protest.
They lack the financial war chest to fund a prolonged struggle, the legal expertise to bail out captured comrades, the media expertise to combat vicious state propaganda, and the strategic foresight to negotiate terms when the ruling class is finally brought to its knees.
The Hollywood theater of poor people carrying pitchforks to overthrow their government is pure, delusional fantasy.
An oppressive regime will always have a police force and a military that are heavily armed, well-trained, and eager to shoot live ammunition at protesters.
Drawing again from the works of Marx and Engels and their studies on class struggle, the fundamental catalyst that brings to light any true revolutionary movement must start with the Middle Class (the Bourgeoisie/Intelligentsia).
The middle class is educated; they possess the knowledge to decode complex geopolitics and translate it into simpler terms for the average farmer to understand, just as Thomas Sankara did in Burkina Faso.
The middle class has the resources and the time on their hands to properly coordinate protests and build formidable intelligence networks.
They can outsource the technology to bypass government censorship, they have the international connections to expose human rights abuses to the global stage, and they possess the ideological backbone required to turn disorganized public anger into a lethal, targeted political weapon.
The most famous revolutionary movements in history like the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, were all ruthlessly and carefully planned and organized by educated, wealthy, middle-class citizens. Even Fidel Castro of Cuba came from a wealthy family, and his father owned a robust sugar business.
Yet, even when the lower and middle classes unite, the upper class and the military still hold all the cards.
Even the celebrated 1979 Iranian Revolution was only successful because factions within the military and the government decided to commit mutiny and flat-out refused to protect the Shah.
If impoverished Nigerians were to relinquish their daily survival hustle and storm the streets en masse to protest against the government, what do you think will happen? Just like ENDSARS, the state will wait for the cover of night, turn off the lights, and gun down unarmed protesters in cold blood.
Then, their puppet masters in the Global North will instantly provide them with diplomatic cover, and the rest of humanity will simply move on.
Therefore, the struggling masses do not need to understand your complex geopolitics for a revolution to happen. If the comfortable, educated elite(who claim to know it all) do not get off their high horses and join forces to mobilize the streets, absolutely nothing will change.
A revolution does not happen in a vacuum; it requires a spark forged by intellectuals, fueled by the fury of the poor, and executed with ruthless, unwavering precision. Until the educated middle class is willing to sacrifice its comfort, weaponize its privileges, and bleed alongside the common man they so eagerly criticize, you're basically tweeting into oblivion.
Knowledge is not just a burden, but a lonely place. The ability to clearly see things that others cannot see if their lives depnded on it is not a gift. It's a social impediment.
If I say that there is a direct and obvious link stringing together the "Christian Genocide" fairytale with the Dangote Refinery, the Benue Trough, the Itakpe Hill Ridge, the Bama Beach ridge and the wider geological belt stretching from Plateau to Yobe, 99% of my audience will respond "What are those?"
And that's why we lose. How can they possibly fight and win a war when they don't even realise there's a war going on? Just one lonely guy speaking turenchi to himself on Twitter. People that drank FFMP instead of milk as children couldn't possibly grasp this information.
It's not their fault. They never had a chance.
Mary, the Mother of God, is not "dead" and waiting for the coming of her son.
She was, in fact, taken up to Heaven in her body.
She wasn't buried when she died.
She was assumed into Heaven, and she is interceding for all of us who call upon her.
We are her children, and she is our Mother.
Hail Mary!
Every Lenten season, my neighbour becomes a different person.
Normally, he’s the lively type—always joking, always playing music in the compound.
But once Lent begins, everything about him slows down.
One evening, he knocked on my door and said, “Come, let’s go for Stations of the Cross.”
I hesitated. I had heard about it, but I had never really taken it seriously. Still, I followed him.
When we got to the church, it was quiet. People were already gathered, moving slowly from one station to another.
At each stop, they paused, prayed, and reflected.
At first, I didn’t really understand what was going on.
We moved from one point to another, reading, kneeling, standing… repeating the same pattern.
But somewhere along the way, something changed.
At one of the stations, they talked about Jesus falling under the weight of the cross.
I glanced at my neighbour—his head was bowed, eyes closed.
And for some reason, it hit me.
This wasn’t just about what happened years ago.
It felt like a reminder of the struggles we all carry every day—the pressure, the disappointments, the silent battles no one sees.
As we continued, I started paying more attention. Each station felt personal. Each prayer felt heavier.
By the time we got to the end, the whole place was silent.
No noise, no distractions—just people thinking, reflecting.
On our way back home, my neighbour didn’t say much. That was unusual for him.
After a while, he finally spoke.
He said, “You see why I don’t joke with this period? It helps me reset.”
I didn’t reply immediately.
Because deep down, I understood what he meant.
Sometimes, in the middle of all the noise of life… you need moments like that—to slow down, reflect, and face yourself.
Since that day, whenever he knocks during Lent, I don’t hesitate.
I just follow.
Wait!
Let me get a little petty here.
Are you trying to compare the "audience" Selman has with the number of Catholics in Nigeria alone?? I'm not even talking about Africa or Europe or the world combined!
Are you prots ok at all?? Why do you all like to brag about irrelevant things like audience? This explains why some of you will go as low as inflate the number of attendees you have in your church because that is all you people care about. Clout!
You don't care about winning souls and preaching the truth of Jesus Christ.
This is why a protestant will see me coming out from Mass obviously and still share their church fliers to invite me to their church because, according to them, their church pastor is better! Poaching has now become evangelism to you all.
We are in the season of Lent.
Don't bring this cheap comparison ever in any of my posts or my tl.
Stop overating your pastors because in the grand scheme of things, they're not even known!
When world leaders speak, it is the Pope who speaks for Christians worldwide! Not Selman or any protestant pastor.
@ChiBaby106 Baptism is a sacrament that makes us Christians, children of God and members of the Church.

Children will always navigate towards things you make exciting for them. My daughter, who used to hate Catholic Catechism, doesn't mind going to play tennis twice a weekend on Saturdays and Sundays with her friends. I realized that something has to be done to change the Catholic Catechism classes.
We have depended on this pedagogic model of the Cathechist and students for far too long, and maybe we should evolve it, or we will keep losing potential Catholics.
My kids are not functional Catholics, as they don't understand anything deeply. I try my best, but I think I need more help aligned with the things they enjoy doing. People have different learning models.
My son's excellent performance at his new school, with better digital tools and a broader scope, has made me realize even more that Catholic Catechism MUST evolve.
The Pentecostal churches don't have a better gospel; it is still the same, but the UX is different. I went to a friend's wedding, and the amount the church spent on digital effects and comfort blew my mind. I almost wanted to go back there. It was unassuming outside but mindblowing inside.
When my money comes, this will be my next project for my church.
Hi everyone.
So I'm putting this post up here because I'm sincerely tired of hiding some really horrible comments, especially from Protestants, as regards my posts on the Holy Eucharist, the Blessed Virgin Mary, etc.
I will not be doing that anymore.
I'll leave your comments up so that people can simply see how horrible some of you are.
If my Catholic posts upsets you, kindly block me because even after Lent, I will not stop talking about my Catholic faith, the Pope, the Mother of God, the Saints, the Church, etc..
Ask about me. The more I see your disgusting comments, the more I'd make my posts promoting the one true Church.
If they make you uncomfortable, get exorcised by a priest because it clearly shows that you have a dark spirit inside of you.
But one thing I will not do, going forward, is hide your disgusting comments again.
Everyone is actually going to see it. And no! You won't be blocked... except, of course, when you block me first.
You can make as many tweets saying sh*t about me, but I will not give you the luxury of my time to even respond to you because you are sincerely not worth it at all.
This will be the first and last time I'd say this.
I'm up for healthy conversations here... If you are curious about the Catholic faith, I'm more than happy to talk about it.
But if I see that you are just trying to bait me with your dvmb takes, you'd be ignored...that's a promise, but you won't be blocked.
I want to sincerely appreciate all the people who have come to my DM to say the most encouraging words to me..priests even! From different parts of the globe.
God bless you all. To my new followers, thank you for finding me worthy to follow me. I don't take it for granted at all.
God bless you all, and may our Lady continue to intercede for us all.
What's even funny for me is how they claim to be sola scriptura, and when you show them things that are clearly in the Bible, they reject it.
For instance, when I say that Jesus is fully present in the Holy Eucharist, they say it is a lie. That it is his representation and not his real person.
I then refer them to the Bible verse where Jesus said it plainly in John 6:53-56
Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his bl00d, you will not have life in yourselves.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my bl00d have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day.
55 For my flesh is the real food; my bl00d is the real drink.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my bl00d live in me, and I live in them.
Satan h@tes the truth..they h@te the truth.
They tell you to show them where it is in the Bible, and when you do, they still deny it.
It is a roller coaster here lol but God will give us the grace to educate them better.
They've been told lies for 500 years, and the heretic Martin Luther started the lies.
Little by little, I'm sure they'd see the truth and come back home.
You're screaming Fu¢k David Hundeyin' but this man did the following;
1. Blew the whistle on illegal Chinese loan apps exploiting West Africans. The same China you're now defending him against.
2. Exposed Tinubu's drug lord past and forged documents BEFORE he became your president. You had the receipts. You still voted or stayed silent.
3. Investigated Flutterwave's fraud when everyone was calling it a pride of Africa. He was right.
4. Used cellular geolocation to solve Hiny Umoren's murder case. He exposed what the police were covering up and proved complicity. A woman got justice because of him.
5. Exposed Globacom's abuse of Indian workers. India's PM personally wrote him a letter. INDIA'S PM.
6. Exposed a dangerous bill the Nigerian government tried to sneak through during COVID lockdown. Won the People Journalism Prize for Africa.
7. Published a leaked military order that would have sent Nigerian soldiers to die in Niger. You called it treason. He called it journalism.
This man @DavidHundeyin had to flee Nigeria and apply for asylum in Ghana because telling the truth made him a target.
You don't have to agree with every geopolitical take he makes. But calling him a fo°l while benefiting from everything he uncovered? That's the real foolishness here 🤝.
@CatholicFQ Thanking Hod for the gift of life and for his benevolence.
It's the same way a Nigerian will look you straight in the face and tell you Iran, a Shia Islamic country whose belief is defensive Jihad, the exact opposite of Wahabism (extremism) are the major sponsor of terrorism? It's like saying most Arabians consume pork meat.
Dear Catholics, let’s be super-clear about something. The reason to be a Catholic is Jesus in the Eucharist. A priest would never be so great that he is better than the Eucharist. And a priest would never be so bad that it makes any sense to go to a non-Catholic church and lose the Eucharist.
Priests should work hard on their homilies and try to connect with you but don’t get distracted. Mass isn’t about the person standing upfront. It’s about the Person in the Tabernacle. Priests will come and go: funny priests, smart priests, short priests, tall priests, young priests, old priests. Only the Eucharist remains.
It is the most important thing. If the Eucharist isn’t really Jesus, go to another church where there is more music, more preaching, that will make more sense. But if the Eucharist is Jesus and you want Jesus, then it makes no sense to go anywhere else.
Excerpts from Fr. David Michael Moses homily

For the record, I couldn't give less of a fuck whether Wasspappin or whatever his name is belongs to a cult that ritually burns my photograph and desecrates my father's grave every morning.
Not because I like him or approve of him, but because that is ENTIRELY beside the point.
The point is that a citizen of what is supposed to be a sovereign, independent country cannot be getting arrested by state intelligence services because he expressed an opinion about a FOREIGN POLITICIAN.
Why should a Nigerian living in Nigeria have more freedom to say whatever he wants about the Nigerian president than about an Israeli president? Why on earth should a Nigerian in Kano face more consequences for saying something about a man on another continent than for saying something about his own president in Abuja? When will Israeli secret police start arresting Israeli citizens because they said something about Bola Tinubu?
You do not have to like Wasspappin. I think he is the epitome of a low-information Nigerian dullard whose entire personality is his religion and ethnic identity, but once again for the people at the back, it is possible to hold more than one thought inside your fragile head at the same time.
This is an issue of basic constitutional freedom and national sovereignty. Nigeria is not a colony of the USA or Israel. Nobody in Nigeria has ever voted for Benjamin Mileikowsky. Benjamin Mileikowsky has no office, position or role in Nigeria. There is ZERO legal or moral obligation for a Nigerian state security entity working under the authority of the Nigerian state to arrest a Nigerian citizen for a political opinion they expressed about Mr Mileikowsky.
Moreover, Benjamin Mileikowsky is a mass murderer and a war criminal who is currently wanted by the ICC for the crime of genocide. This is someone whose death would instantly make the world a slightly better place. If you are going to give up even the pretence of national sovereignty and turn the constitution on its head even further because of fealty to the people who are using the president's drug trafficking criminal history to blackmail him, then you should do so using a more defensible premise.
Benjamin fucking Mileikowsky is not the hill for Nigeria to die on.
I thought that listening to the "Our Father" in Aramaic was satisfying.
But hearing this Catholic priest sing Psalm 50 in Arabic is even more satisfying 😩❤️❤️.
