A society and family without strong men and leadership will collapse
I think God placed a huge burden on men and they don’t even realize it
This is why I can never drag headship with a man
You will never find me in the camp of women arguing that a woman can be a man
I think it’s the hardest Job in the world and i am not cut out for it nor do i covet it
Let’s go to school tonight shall we?
Statistically, women make up more than 60% of church attendees
So more than half of the people min church are women already. Then more than half of the programs organized in church is to groom women for marriage
So imagine one side of the coin being more shaped than the other
Women are more self aware
More emotionally intelligent
More groomed for motherhood
They read more books about family
Learn to cook and clean and be home makers
While male counterparts feel like as long as they go to work and come back, donate semen, they are doing great
A lot of you grew up without even being emotionally connected to your father because your dad was great in providing but not being able to communicate or even understand you
You would always go to your mum to ask questions, or to make requests
Because mummy knew how to be a parent
I and a few others are part of those who had a father that was a parent
My father was full of the Holyghost but our shelves at home were full of books on parenting and fatherhood
Because my father knew that being a great father was not imparted automatically
You needed to learn it. And boy did he learn his
So before you start huffing and puffing brothers, I’m on your side. Your job is hard but it so pivotal for the family.
God made you heads and leaders and your role in the home cannot be overemphasized
I’m advocating for more leadership and accountability from you because if you get it right, I believe the women and children will be so much better for it
So calm down sirs
Blessings
PS: no where in the last post did I say that submission was conditional.
Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy
Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.
From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.
It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.
It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.
The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.
Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.
My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.
I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

~Thus Sayeth The Viral Proverb Of Our Time
I have never worn a wig
I may never wear one till Jesus comes. But that’s just me
A whole lot of women love wigs and wear them
Some say it’s very convenient
Some say it affords them freedom to up and go without doing too much
Some just love how they look with a wig on and that’s valid.
It looks dope and all and you do you queen. Love it for you
My post yesterday had nothing to do with liking or not liking wigs or what each woman chooses to which was why I said “ a lot” of women not all women
Which was why I did not just mention wigs. I also mentioned skin colour but somehow you all disagreeing did not touch that one
So let’s go to school a bit and unpack this discuss a bit more
I mentioned that I had a problem with the version of wig wearing that is used to hide our hair.
I mean black hair. Kinky, coily, shrinky, you get the gist .
Some said it was the styling problem and not a natural hair problem
But Sister Marie bliss styled hers too. She wore a full face of makeup and somehow a lot of black Nigerian women still felt she did not do enough for her big day.
All of a sudden we want to pretend we don’t know that many times, a black womans hair is not considered “made” until it’s tamed
Our hair that is naturally curly and kinky is a raw material that must be processed and relaxed to oblivion and flat ironed till its proteins are denatured before society considers it “styled”
The doctor in question was not doing surgery. She was not in a professional capacity. She was doing a photoshoot and left her hair in a twist out.
And some people called her mad. Because her hair was not laid sleek
Have you asked yourself what birth relaxers?
Have you asked yourself what birth flat irons?
Are you aware that a lot of women are fired from their work place because an Afro is considered a political statement and too intense for a work environment?
But a Scottish woman with wild red curly hair is considered ethereal
This is the same mindset that birth cancer causing whitening cream. And brightening. And lightening
Because one of the yokes the colonial masters dropped on our shoulders is that you’re not good enough if you don’t look like a white woman
A lot of Nigerians are still colourists. A light skinned baby is considered more cute and we still check the ears of a new born to see if they would darken with time.
Because black is dirty
A dark armpit is gross. Your dark inner thighs are disgusting
I’m passionate about fashion. Fashion is not just clothes.
It starts from inside. It starts from loving yourself, seeing yourself as beautiful.
The clothes we wear, the accessories, the hair , the skin, they are all just to accentuate who we already are inside.
And as a society we should be open to relearning ourselves dropping the shackles we still hold from the era when black men were seen as no better than cattle.
Blessings!
PS: 4C in all its glory innit🤭😌
@d_ocheido The average black man feels irrelevant if he does not behave and display like the white man. We have lost our originality. Thank God there are still those who don't need another's opinion to thrive.
Ps. I think it was your hair and the way you flaunt it that attracted me to you

@jon_d_doe There are informations that won't help anyone and in this case, it is your id. There are always exceptions to the rule but the rule will never be negated because of the few exceptions. The exception might never be you.
I just went through the comment section of this post, and one thing became immediately obvious: men and women often view and describe the exact same realities very differently.
A fat man knows he is fat. In fact, you will often see him proudly answering to "Biggie." A fat woman, however, is "thick." A short man is short, but a short woman is petite. A man with a big head knows he has a big head, but for women, it's suddenly the "forehead gang." A broke man is broke, but a broke woman is an independent woman working hard for her money. Women have mastered the art of rebranding realities into compliments.
The funniest part is the body-positivity movement. Fat women will passionately defend being fat and tell everyone to love themselves as they are. Yet, the moment they start losing weight, they celebrate every kilogram they drop, show off their transformation, and become noticeably happier with their appearance. I have never seen a woman who was once fat, became slim, and then said, "I preferred being fat."
That tells you everything you need to know.
There is absolutely no health benefit to being fat. If you can lose the weight, lose it.
Your health will improve, your mobility will improve, and, let's be honest, your appearance will improve too.
Insecurity.
HERE ARE THE RED FLAGS TO HELP YOU IDENTIFY IMPERSONATORS, KIDNAPPERS, CRIMINALS, TERRORISTS ON MILITARY OR PARAMILITARY UNIFORMS WHEN DRIVING OR TRAVELING THROUGH THE HIGHWAYS IN NIGERIA.
VISIBILITY AND STATIONED VEHICLES.
When driving and you suddenly sight men in uniform and guns, either soldiers in Army camouflage, police, or paramilitary uniforms standing on the express in an isolated area, slow down from afar and scan the area for proper visibility. If the road is a two lane express, ensure both sides of the road where the uniform men are standing are not covered with bush. If the both sides of the road is covered with thick and over grown grass, please it is a red flag. Before soldiers, police, civil defence, immigration or customs set up checkpoints or road blocks in the middle of nowhere, they will properly clear the bushes on one side, or on both sides of the road where they intend to mount their road block. They will build makeshift shades or seats. They may build makeshift shelter and create a proper space for vehicles to park. At a certain distance, the road block will be very visible to you as a motorists.
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT.
If you see such road blocks, please check both sides of the road if there is a stationed vehicle of the officers.
For such an isolated roadblock there must be a well branded vehicle of the organisation parked by the side of the road for easy identification, confidence, and protection assurance. If the men who blocked the road are on Army camouflage, you will see a well branded Army Hilux parked by the side of the road. If they are on police uniform, you will see a well branded police vehicle parked by the side of the road.
If they are on customs, immigration or civil defence uniform, you will see their branded vehicles parked by the side of the road. The vehicle is for proper identification and protection assurance.
Please note: on such isolated road blocks or checkpoint, they will never use unbranded vehicles, unmarked vehicles, or private cars.
If you don't see a branded vehicle of the force parked by one side of the road when you sight such road blocks from a distance, it a big red flag. If such road block is not very visible from a distance, it's also a big red flag.
HOW THE OFFICERS ARE KITTED UP.
Check how the uniform men on the road are dressed from up to down.
If they are on a legitimate stop and search or road block, they will dress properly from head to toe. They will Put on their uniforms properly, with boots. They will put on their caps and will properly shave their beards as officers. No overgrown hair, no dreadlocks, no long beards. If you see them on pam slippers, snickers, or rubber shoe, it is a very big red flag.
HOW THEIR GUNS ARE POSITIONED OR DISPLAYED.
If they are on legitimate road block, or on a stop and search, they will never point their guns on oncoming vehicles. Their guns will either be hanged on their back, or seen pointing to the ground.
In this video, you will see that they are not properly kitted up. They are putting on pam slippers, and mounting road block. (RED FLAG)
You will not see a branded vehicle of the Army parked on any side of the road. (RED FLAG)
You can clearly see some of them pointing their guns towards oncoming vehicles. Ready to shoot.
(RED FLAG)
Please don't be deceived by their uniform. They are bandits and terrorists using the Nigerian military camouflage to disguise.

2027 is Peter Obi's last shot at the presidency.
2027 is your last opportunity for Peter Obi to pull you out of poverty.
2027 is Nigeria's last chance for Peter Obi to rescue her from that structure of criminality, structure of corruption, structure of looting.
2027 is our last chance to be rescued from this worsening economy, and ravaging insecurity.
Irrespective of how the election goes, Peter obi will remain a wealthy man, a comfortable man, an accomplished man, and a fulfilled man.
The best and only opportunity to take advantage of Peter Obi's availability is this 2027, if not you will suffer. Think about your life 12 years ago, and think about it now. This is not about politics or political party. There is always a positive or negative consequence after every presidential election in Nigeria.
Those who fail to value the treasure they have because it is readily available, will eventually regret when such treasure becomes scarce and unavailable again.
Go out there, get your PVC, vote for Peter Obi and Kwankwaso (OK)
Vote for NDC, defend your votes and make sure it counts.
The Knife is in your hands, the ball is in your court. The choice is yours ✌️
(1) Which Presidential candidate will remove immunity clause if elected into office, with an express approval to security agents to prosecute him if found guilty of corruption or any infractions while in office?
IT CAN ONLY BE PETER OBI.
Currently they are all hiding under "immunity clause" to shield themselves away from prosecution, despite their heavy corruption, infractions and brazen abuse of office.
(2) Which Presidential candidate if elected into office will approve the use of only one Presidential jet, and sell off the rest to support Nigeria's struggling economy.
IT CAN ONLY BE PETER OBI.
Currently Nigeria’s Presidential Air Fleet generally consists of about 10 aircraft, including six fixed-wing jets and four helicopters. Peter Obi will call it a waste of tax payers money.
(3) Which Presidential candidate if elected into office will pay off all Nigeria's debts, and save more money for the future of this nation?
IT CAN ONLY BE PETER OBI.
When he was the Governor of Anambra state, he didn't owe salary. He also cleared all outstanding pensions and gratuity owed by previous governors before him. He saved and left 150 million dollars (75 billion naira) for Anambra state before leaving office.
Obi showed Nigerians what prudence and true resouce management entails. How things are done in civilized climes. That's why Obi is so clean, totally free of any corruption charge or EFCC harassment.
But same can not be said about other ex and current governors. Reason they are all running into APC, or visiting EFCC every eke market day.
Nigerians will you see suger and honey, but choose salt if you want to prepare tea? Is that not insanity?
The choice is yours to make. The best opportunity usually come but once. Good people don't stay forever.
Go get your PVC. Vote Peter Obi and Kwankwaso (OK) in 2027. vote NDC and defend that vote until it counts✌️
Dear Nigerians, January 16th presidential election date for 2027, was well thought after, and highly strategic.
(1) Many will still be in their villages, and may most likely not vote.
(My Southeastern brothers and sisters)
(2) Salaries that will be paid between 22nd, 23rd and 24th December, must have been exhausted. (Rice, 5k or 10k for vote, will be highly tempting)
(3) House rent and school fees pressure will be hitting so hard by then. (5k, 10, or 20k for vote, will be so so tempting)
Please don't sell your votes. If you know you will spend January 2027 in your village, kindly apply to transfer your polling unit to your village now that INEC's continuous voter registration exercise is still ongoing.
Please go and get your PVC, and vote
OK and the NDC ✌️
It's your shortest cut to the actualization of our dream of a new Nigeria that is possible.
Abi suffer no dey tire you?

You work in a bank with a pay of N150, 000 but your once classmate visits the bank to make transactions of millions. Each time he comes, he tips you like 10k. He is a Yahoo guy that makes millions in a month, but see you working your a$$ out every month for just 150k. Several thoughts begin to run through your mind... If you want, he's ready to teach you for free. Who no like money? 🤔 Who like suffering? Few months after you resign... Imagine if 2 or 3 people resign from all the branches... Imagine they call for interview for new intakes and none comes... Just imagine...
My Bricklayer told me that boys does want to learn the work again, and those who learnt earlier and leaving it for Yahoo. I kept calling him, and he kept telling me he can't work alone, no laborer, na mason man, and when they come, the charge is now double...
I have been looking for workers for over 1yr, and have gotten none. The one I'm managing comes anytime he wishes because to him I can't sack him since I'm seriously short staffed. I found a 15yr old boy who is in SS1 and said he wants to be coming after school, but in 6days he stole 6 goods in my shop, all worth N550,000.
Internet fraud has done serious harm to our society and to our economy. Imagine you won't see mechanic, plumber, shoemaker, to do your jobs... Just imagine 🤔! Boys don't want to learn work or trade again. Yahoo is a dangerous trend. I never saw the danger before now... Imagine in 10yrs time when the present artisans are off and none to replace them.
The government should fight them mercilessly!
SAY NO TO INTERNET FRAUD!
SAY NO TO ILLEGITIMATE BUSINESSES!
SAY NO TO YAHOO!
