I was at a restaurant getting food when I overheard a guy telling the guy standing next to me that he lost his job and hadn’t eaten since the previous day. He wasn’t asking for money, he just wanted something to eat. I could tell he genuinely needed help.
The guy was kind enough to buy some food for him, so I approached him and told him to pick whatever meal he wanted as extra food for later, give them his order and ask them to make it takeaway. I told him I would pay for it. He honestly couldn’t believe it. He was so grateful and even gave me a hug.
As he was leaving, I still felt like I should do better than that, so I gave him some cash too. It felt really good knowing I could help a brother who genuinely needed it. I really hope things turn around for him, and when they do, I hope he remembers this moment and pays the kindness forward.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

"We should refuse to agree that this is Nigeria, where:
-Nothing works
-Certificates are forged and it's ok
-Elections are rigged and you're told to Go-To-Court
These things have consequences"
-John Cardinal Onaiyekan of the Catholic Church
He's been consistently consistent!
A bond trader in Frankfurt just discovered that a federal agency in Nigeria can freeze the entire accounts of a state, meaning the State can't repay bond coupons.
That same bond trader wants to offer an African bond to investors in Canada. Would he recommend a Nigerian bond? No.
Why?
Sovereign risk for Nigeria is high.
This is why Nigeria is struggling to attract FDI today. Nigeria is attracting expensive FPI.
Later, you will blame the CIA for self-inflicted wounds
To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.
I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.
Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.
Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.
I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.
And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

As a former two-term President of the Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria (CYON) in the Army Chaplaincy, I didn’t need a second look to recognise this as a poorly fabricated forged press release.
The forgers in Aso Rock and their team of failures are now clutching at straws.
For God and For Youth…….
What did i just watch?
“There are some SANs in this country who don’t have any degree certificates. There are some senators and lawmakers who have forged degree certificates. So Tinubu not having primary and secondary education is not a crime”…

These are the people making laws that affect everyone 💔🤯
They call Nigerians criminals, but the official number from the Government of South Africa does not back up the claim that Nigerians are wholesale criminals in South Africa.
Nigerians form a small minority of foreign inmates. Available figures and statements place the number of Nigerian inmates in the low hundreds, estimated at roughly 1–3% of all foreign inmates; note foreign inmates, not total inmate population
The branding of Nigerians is not backed by data, but it's rather by personal animus towards an immigrant class that is successful in South Africa.
Data is stubborn
Omo! It seems BOLDLY and FIERCELY standing for the truth is part of the courses taught in the Seminary....
If this is the kind of fire Lapite faced in that meeting with bishops then I can understand why he's so dazed and dumfounded 😭😭😭
14 years ago, Adamawa was receiving N2.8b allocation, while today it receives N16b.
Lets do quick maths:
N2.8B in 2012 could buy you 400,000 bags of rice, while N16B today would buy you 320,000 bags.
N2.8B in 2012 was $18m, while N16B today is $12m.
Under APC, MORE IS LESS!
