On this my 74th birthday, I celebrate the valiant men and women of our Armed Forces.
Today, I have directed the Accountant-General of the Federation to establish a special account for a fund dedicated to those who serve, those wounded in the line of duty, and the families of those who have paid the ultimate price.
As a personal commitment, all my salaries since assuming office will be paid into this account as seed funding, irrespective of existing insurance and welfare schemes for members of our armed forces. This fund will directly support those who have lost their limbs, and the widows, widowers, and children of those who laid down their lives in service to our dear country.
I call on our Governors, members of the National Assembly, the private sector, my friends and all well-wishers to support this initiative. Details of the account will be made available in due course.
We must never forget those who stand in harm’s way for our peace, nor the sacrifices borne by their families.
This is not charity. It is duty.
And we will fulfil it.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPRs) are instruments of energy security, not price management. Their formal mandate is supply disruption mitigation, not consumer price relief. This is a basic knowledge.
This opposition is a blessing for President Bola Tinubu, but a curse for Nigeria. If this is the best argument of a major opposition leader, the president can go to bed knowing he cannot be defeated at the level of ideas.
It is sad and shocking. Nigerians deserve better than this watery akamu level of policy alternatives.
For Nigerians, it simply means they cannot even enjoy the privilege of comparing government policies with practical ideas from the opposition. The best we are getting are newspaper stands level of argument. Government policies are better served when the opposition challenge them on their essence, practicality and effectiveness.
For now, we must make do with ‘you dey gbogbolo siga’ level of alternate policies.
Populist candidates are better served by moments, once time passes, people are forced to scratch beneath the noise. Sadly, what gets exposed is often an unwholesome sight.
“The speed limit is 100km/h, but drivers go far beyond that. Driving discipline here is terrible. Trucks are overloaded and people cross the road carelessly. Ironically, the road itself is good enough to meet UK standards.”

I entered this airline’s toilet and everywhere was a mess. I asked one of the hostesses if there is anyone on board who is desperate to be president of their country. Confused, she asked why? I said it is the dirty toilet test of presidential ability.
She looked at me funny like she needed to get me a psychiatrist and left. Next time I went back to the toilet, it was as clean as new. A humble presidential candidate had quietly gone to clean it up.
This never happened of course. I am just trying to see if it is believable as a work of fiction.
Since Pep became a professional coach, only 3 teams have stopped him from winning the league and they are Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Only 3 teams have stopped him in the UCL semi final and they are Inter Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Only one team has stopped him in the UCL final and they are Chelsea.
Chelsea is football and football is Chelsea.
If you like, keep bragging about your great grandpa achievements.
Guys, it’s okay for a man to cry…but never in front of your woman.
Do it privately, gather yourself quickly, and don’t wallow in self-pity. Life is unfair and nobody is coming to save you. Wipe your tears, set your face like a flint and go again!
I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
1. After 15 years on air, I’ve learned that not every heated moment needs a heated response.
When Babachir Lawal told me to “shut up” on live TV, it was a test of composure, not ego.
Some wanted a stronger pushback, others appreciated the restraint. For me, it was about…
In Osun State southwest Nigeria, a traditional king is defying tradion - by running a free school for underprivileged kids across Nigeria.

You see this life ehn, no matter how rich someone close to you is, if it is not destined that they'll help you, they won't. Just focus on your life, work hard and pray you also make it in life.
Yep, I know YAYI! Senator Olamilekan Adeola, the big shot from Ogun West, is a political heavyweight in Ogun State. Nicknamed YAYI since his early days in Lagos politics, he’s now eyeing the governorship in 2027. Known for grassroots support and integrity, he’s a force to reckon with!
You spent multiple years as a minister and/or 8 years as a governor under a party. It just so happened that just over a year without an office, the party must have missed its way! Lol. I actually laughed out loud.
Whatever you do, seek the audacity of the average Nigerian politician, it will help you in your quest to face a truly challenging world.
Whilst you think the world revolves around you, they know it revolves around them and their ambitions. And they expect you to believe it and jump around with them. When you don’t, that which you did for them without pay or acknowledgement, they’d even shamelessly use it to insult you. I lol again.
You didn’t matter all those years they didn’t know the party needed to be fixed. 2013 to 2023 the party no get problem. Na now the problem don reach irreconcilable differences. And you must move along. Put your head in a head dryer if you buy this nonsense. A hairdryer won’t do.
As a young politician, if moving aligns with your interest, please move. But if you allow yourself to be fooled by some “fight for Nigeria” narrative, you are a congenital fool. And I don’t mean that as an insult. Except of course you were born in 2023, then I can say you haven’t seen enough to have learnt how this works.
I have. Not playing that game again!
Life’s unpredictability doesn’t just amaze me—it terrifies me. How fragile everything is. How quickly things fall apart. It’s a cruel reminder that nothing here is ours to keep.
