@iSlimfit He understands sports 'more than anybody' but he doesn't know what a red card is, 'haven't heard of it before, and yet he doesn't think it's a red card.

Lol

@NaijaFlyingDr You sound exactly like one of my lectuers at Rome Business School in a recent class.

Won't lie, but that was the first time I was exposed to the concept, and how to get one.

Our society is too polarised for a national uniform to be the cultural attire of one group, when other corps members come from groups with endangered textiles.

How are these guys even thinking?

From @TheAthleticFC: Cristiano Ronaldo has fired Portugal into an early lead over Uzbekistan at the 2026 World Cup.

Karl Marx wrote the communist manifesto 7 years before the creation of Limited Liability Companies.

Before then, if you wanted to set up a business you have to be seriously rich because anything the business did could impact your entire net worth. If your business got sued, you could lose your entire estate. Only the very rich had businesses and they ran their businesses like every decision could be financially catastrophic.

Then in 1855, the Limited Liabilities Companies Act was passed into British Law and the game changed.

Suddenly anyone could set up a business, raise investment and trade. There was separation between ownership and control.

This wasn’t lost on Karl Marx either. He wrote good things about this change. He was even a company director at one point.

Essentially, it means that under capitalism you can be a socialist if you want to.

A socialist can set up a company, give shares to all the workers, put workers on the board, pay executives the same as everyone else and if there’s any profit remaining they can freely donate it to the government.

There is absolutely nothing stopping any socialist from living according to these values under a capitalist system.

Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world and most of the employees own shares. Many are millionaires. In the UK, John Lewis and Waitrose are owned by their workers and are much loved successful businesses. Capitalism has no problem with workers owning the means of production.

Under capitalism, anyone with an idea can set up a company, pitch to investors and launch it. Starting with nothing, they can be a millionaire (on paper) within a month.

Socialists can lead by example; the fact that they almost never do this tells you a lot about socialists and human nature.

The same is not true under socialism. It is not possible for a capitalist to live according to their values. Under socialism, if I believe in small government, self-sufficiency, low regulations I must leave the country - if it’s even possible to do so. It’s not enough for a socialist to live their values, they need everyone to do it too.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

Growing up, when life was still really good, anytime this “to me,to you” Indomie advert came on TV, my siblings and I would drop whatever we were doing and rush to the TV. We would sing along, passionately mimicking every line and gesture. Our dream was to be those kids, and to grow into the kind of people the song encouraged us to be.

The funny part is how the advert worked exactly as intended. The moment it ended, we would start feeling hungry and craving Indomie. It became our Indomie moment. There was hardly a day we didn’t eat it. If my mum asked, “What do you guys want to eat?” She would get the same answer from all of us: “Indomie!”

That was the golden age of meaningful TV ads. With that ad, Indomie marketed their product and taught a whole generation about the beauty of sharing, kindness, and caring for others.

Were you there? Do you have any such moments? Share, let’s reminisce.

[Emmanuel Azubuike @EmmanuelAC14]

@Letter_to_Jack I've been looking for this ad, and when I talk about it with others who are younger, they seem not to know the ad (I'm not old oh).

Like you, there's no time this ad would come up that I wouldn't drop whatever it is that I was doing to mimick them.

I'm loving PO communication team. They seem new, and more strategic, using happening events to tire into their campaign message.

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,

After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.

You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.

It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.

In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.

I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.

You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.

If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.

Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.

I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.

My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I am from Abia State. I let everybody that I meet to know that before even knowing my name. Lol

[Omega X D 𝕏🤴🏽 @OmegaXDreams]

Alex Otti is currently speaking at the Invest Lagos 3.0 opening ceremony. Listen to him as he talks about the growth of Abia State, highlighting the progress, achievements, and upcoming projects his administration has delivered within just a few years in office.

I keep saying it, good governance is not rocket science.

Alex Otti is doing a remarkable job just in 3years.

We looked up all the companies that won the inaugural SEDC Venture Capital program to learn who they are and what they do.

Here are the winners of the Incubator category, and their founders. We're excited to see what they do with the backing of the SEDC.

Congrats to all the winners!

[Emmanuel Azubuike @EmmanuelAC14]

How can you, in this time and age, read a headline and have an opinion?? How?

People are laughing at Abia state because it wasn't crowed the 'best performing', without realising that the state jumped from 36th to the 10th position in a year.

Just read, man. Read!

[Emmanuel Azubuike @EmmanuelAC14]

One of Nigeria's major challenges is a lack of media literacy. It may seem like a small or negligible problem, but it is far from it.

When people cannot look beyond a headline and understand the context and data behind a story, they become vulnerable to manipulation.
