At 32 I was editing Papa Ajasco and Super Story, trying to become a director.
One night officers who had been drinking shot me through my car. I am 47 now. The hand is dead. I edit with my left hand for $10 and $20 so my children can eat. I won in court.
The police have ignored the judgment since 2015. The officer’s name is in their own report. Ayuba Philip ID 257745.
Please tag em until @TunjiDisu1 & @CspIniedu see this impunity. Thank you

“There is definitely an issue of character with Prof. Soludo and his desperate search for power and relevance in Nigeria. Nigerians should, therefore beware of so-called intellectuals without character and wisdom because this combination is fatal.”

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
Look at Pep's career. He's never relied on old, familiar players at any of his new clubs, with the exceptions of Thiago & Bravo, who didn't even play that much.
What does this tell you? He has elite talent ID. He knows great players who can impact at the highest level.
He can look at the market and recognize the exact player who can elevate the team & he insists on them. Doesn't matter what the profile is—the question is ARE THEY GOOD ENOUGH?
Messi
Eto
Ibrahimovic
Lewandowski
Aguero
Jesus
Haaland
Different profiles, all phenomenons.
Look at his fullbacks:
Jordi Alba
Lahm
Alaba
Kimmich
Abidal
Walker
Cancelo
Zinchenko
Gvardiol
O’Reilly
Nunes
Delph
Ake
Look at the diversity. He just knows quality when he sees it and how that quality can contribute.
In a world where dozens of people are influencing transfers at a club with agents on the outside and executives on the inside, one of the most important qualities of a manager is the ability to envision how his team will play and identify that quality.
This is what has made Mikel Arteta a monster at Arsenal. Look at the bargain deals: Gabriel, Raya, Timber, Calafiori, Merino, Trossard, Tzolis, Havertz.
This guy knows Champions League quality when he sees it. And he knows never to compromise on that quality.
Talent ID of elite quality and the balls to not compromise on them, even if it means waiting, that is what makes Mikel Arteta the best active manager in football.

God's design for every believer isn't an extraction plan, but an infiltration plan. He hasn't called us to be "alloy" Christians, but to stand out, completely uncompromised, as pure lights in a dark world.
Exposure is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!
Stay in proximity to the life you want.
What you can relate to is a cue to the quality and standard of life you have permitted yourself to have.
Break the loop of impossibility.
I know some one that had chronic cancer after she attended his service she ran a check and she was cancer free till today....I don't care what the World thinks but God is doing great things through this man.
When I go out to preach the gospel, I have had the privilege to help some believers receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But, when they tell me of a commitment to another church, I encourage them to continue and be more committed there. No church needs to die for mine to grow.
Every single day, I bless God that Pep was still in this league when Arteta won the EPL. Not just that Pep was in the league, he competed directly against Arteta and lost. I wasn’t ready for the “Arteta only won it because Pep left” agenda. Thank goodness!
I actually agree and can’t fault having a PSG player as the MOTM because they won but it would be so nice if awards are given without certain contexts.
For the 120 mins’ the ball was in play for, there was no better player on that pitch yesterday than Gabriel Magalhaes.
