Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Pastor Adeboye Did Not Protest Against President Goodluck Jonathan’s Government

A false narrative has been circulating online, accompanied by a photograph of Pastor E.A. Adeboye holding a placard during a public walk. The image has repeatedly been misrepresented as evidence that Pastor Adeboye led or participated in a protest against the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

This claim is FALSE.

The photograph in question was taken during a peaceful nationwide walk held in response to a directive issued by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Churches across Nigeria were instructed to hold peaceful walks after service, calling attention to the persistent killings of Christians and urging the government to take decisive action to protect lives.

The walk in Ebute Metta, where Pastor Adeboye participated, was part of that nationwide exercise. It was neither organized against President Goodluck Jonathan nor connected in any way to his administration.

Ironically, despite the significant media presence at the event when it took place, some of the same photographs have years later been recycled and falsely presented as evidence of a protest against a completely different government.

It is important to note that Pastor Adeboye’s message during the walk was clear: all lives matter to God. His placard emphasized the value of every human life, regardless of religious affiliation. The call was for the protection of innocent Nigerians, both Christians and Muslims.

Yes, Nigeria is facing enormous challenges, and citizens have every right to desire solutions. However, the growing demand that Pastor Adeboye should “command” the President or the First Lady on how to run the affairs of the nation is both unrealistic and unreasonable.

Pastor Adeboye is a clergyman, not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Nevertheless, he has not remained silent.

During the November 2025 Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye publicly offered counsel to the President of Nigeria regarding the worsening security situation and the continued killing of innocent citizens by terrorists. He warned that urgent action was necessary before foreign powers found justification to intervene in Nigeria under the guise of combating terrorism.

He further advised that security chiefs should be given a clear ultimatum to decisively address the menace or vacate their positions.

In his words:

“When they eliminate the terrorists, ask them to eliminate their sponsors too.”

At 84 years old, Pastor Adeboye continues to provide spiritual leadership, moral counsel, and national guidance within the limits of his office as a minister of the Gospel.

For the avoidance of doubt:

• Pastor Adeboye cannot command the President or the First Lady on how to govern Nigeria.

• Pastor Adeboye and RCCG are not responsible for the current challenges facing the nation.

• RCCG is not a political party.

• Pastor Adeboye does not hold political office and was not elected into government.

• RCCG is not the religious arm of any political party in Nigeria.

Facts matter. Context matters. Truth matters.

Before sharing claims about Pastor E.A. Adeboye or The Redeemed Christian Church of God, verify them through RCCG’s official communication channels.

Everything you need to be great is already around you.

If you can force your way, by all means, into consistency, you will be shocked at what you will become.

Discipline is hard. Consistency is harder. Conquer these two, and you will rule your world.

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Guys, always stand up to shake hands. If the other person is older than you, it shows respect. If they are younger than you, it shows humility. Either way, you win. People who sit to shake hands are bad-mannered.

When you shake hands, do not just offer a limp hand... even to an elder! Make sure that your handshake is firm. It shows confidence and fitness.

Then make sure that you look into the person’s eyes. It shows interest, attention and confidence. Don’t look away furtively like a liar and a thief!

Remember, as a man, there should be nothing limp or flaccid about you. You should always be polite and gracious, quietly confident (not arrogant, that is for inferior men) and erect. Always erect!

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

It is better for people to see you from afar as lightweight, then come closer and discover you are heavyweight and be amazed, than for them to see you from afar as heavyweight, come closer, and discover you are lightweight and be disappointed.

It's a waste praying, after electing bad leaders!!

[Dr Paul Enenche @drpaulenenche]

A nation cannot move forward while lives are being wasted.

When will we choose people over politics?
When will human life truly matter again? 🇳🇬

QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED:

Is it not better to deploy all necessary resources to stop the loss of lives, rather than deny what is happening?

Is it not more profitable to protect lives than to prepare for elections over victims of preventable tragedy?

What nation truly progresses in a climate of constant crisis and insecurity?

When will we be tired of being a reproach among nations?
When will leadership be tired of Nigeria making negative headlines globally?

When will human life regain its value in this country?

When will senseless perpetrators be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice?

Enough is enough.
Lives must be protected.
Justice must be served.

[Apst Johnson Suleman @APOSTLESULEMAN]

Jos attack is another evidence of failed leadership..

Leadership that prioritizes politics over protection of lives..
Choosing rather to waste our collective patrimony in pre-election jamboree and pre-coronation plans..
Posterity will judge a leadership that now emboldens,enables and replicates what it once vehemently condemned..

I believe in the power of prayers but prayers won’t replace responsibility..
We need humane leaders..
These current folks have zero affiliation with empathy…
We are tired..it’s depressingly exhausting.

We stand with the families who lost loved ones and pray for fortitude to bear the irreparable loss..

And for those who will engage this tweet to support failed leadership for the crumbs they offer you,pls show your irritation via good grammar..
So even if I am irritated by your intentional delusion,I would be encouraged by your mastery of words..
AJS.

[Emmanuel Olapade @Emmanuel_Pade]

Tempted to share the awful experience I had last year. People can be very terrible!

[BSAT Properties @BSAT_Properties]

One of my financial mistakes

2024 i opened a pure water factory for additional income.

In fact in my head I had imagined that it’s blood money business I was about to enter because I felt the expenses will be small so I imagined plenty profit.

In my mind I said after all I’m not buying the water.

Anyway let me first use 5 minutes to laugh at my self first before I start 😂😂😂

I bought every machine it needed to Nafdac standard,I also registered it with Nafdac so my sale was very legit.
That gave me my first experience with Nafdac

I started with 3 cars,a hilux truck and 2 open boot bikes.

We kicked off and my reality set in.

First of all printing of roll was more expensive than i thought,already taking half of my money.

Then as a producer our price is usually regulated with other factories,we cannot give drivers higher than other factories because we had a union binding us and it was part of our rules.

We are producers so we don’t sell directly,we give to drivers at cheaper rate then they sell and make their money.
As at that time I was giving each bag of water to my drivers at 120 naira a bag sometimes 150.

Now I will still buy fuel for the cars ooo
Even when i considered the option of them buying fuel and adjusting their price I still suffered for it.

I also pay each bagger 10 naira to bag 1 bag,this is minus other salaries of the people in production handling the major sealing machines ooo

I was burning electricity and light bill as if fire was burning my Nyash.

I changed filters every two weeks and it’s not cheap

I ran diesel to support Nepa because of course I live in Nigerian.

I had so many staffs on salaries too and there are so many other expenses i cannot say all here.
Abi is it car maintenance,story for another day 🥱

Drivers will owe me and they kept giving excuses that customers are owing them,all lies,infact me,drivers and police station became customers every week.

I gave most of this drivers accommodation ooo but the truth is they are full blown thieves.

At the end of every sales I make money but it goes like the wind to expenses and I will be left with only money to replace the rolls to produce again.

To cut the long story short I was close to running madd then I shut down the business and I regained my sanity.

If you have ever ran a pure water business you will understand this post better than anyone else,and if you intend to open a pure water factory first go to Amadioha and take juju make all your workers first swear oath before you start and take jazz not to run madd.

Which business showed you shege?
