Family Drama…
Parents, gather here. I need legal advice.
For a while, I kept seeing people refer to my first son’s posts.
So one day, I decided to visit Oga’s page and see what the young man had been posting.
Only to discover…
I was BLOCKED.
Not unfollowed.
Not muted.
Blocked!!!
As in, “Access Denied.”
Me.
His father.
Blocked without due process.
Blocked without a hearing.
Blocked without a righty for appeal.
I stared at my phone for a few seconds.
Maybe it was a network issue.
Maybe Elon Musk was updating X.
Maybe there was….
There wasn’t anything. 😂
I immediately called him.
“Oga, why did you block me?”
The young man answered so calmly as if he had blocked NEPA and not his father that I became even more annoyed.
“Dad, I need my freeness of speech.”
The confidence in his voice shocked me.
I said, “What kind of freedom of speech, abi “freeness of speech” requires blocking your father?”
He then explained that he wanted a place where he could express himself freely without worrying that his father was reading everything.
I said, “So helping you grow up, I have now become a threat to democracy or DSS or FBI?”
The boy laughed.
I didn’t.
😂😂😂
Then reality struck me.
The young man now lives on his own.
Pays his own rent.
Pays his own bills.
Buys his own groceries.
In other words, the sponsorship package has expired. The Constitution of Independent Adult Children is now in force.
At that moment, I knew the balance of power had shifted. I know understand how those people in government feels when they leave office.
I quietly ended the call and accepted my fate.
Still, I think there should be a law against children blocking their parents on social media.
What do you think? Someone should help me, this is not fair.
Is Oga right, or should parents be granted permanent viewing rights under the Family Constitution? 😂
I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.
You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.
In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.
This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.
To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.
I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.
We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.
The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.
Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.
To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.
May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
