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
I saw this video of a school using a kids' monitor to clock in the student.
Their parents will receive notifications when their child enters or leaves school.
This is impressive and a good initiative👏👏
If Bruno wins PFA Player of the Year, we can all shut up.
There is a reason Players prefer that award to the EA Award. The PFA award is voted for by your fellow players.
It is that "we sight you, you play pass pass us this season" award.
We aren't crying. 🥹❤️
Victoria, thank you for sharing such a beautiful, vulnerable story with the world. We’ve always said that Bukka Hut is a place where you come to feel at home, but we never knew it would be the place where a 'happily ever after' began in such a kind way./1
I am ready for an incredible new week.
Money, Success and Joy will flow effortlessly towards me this week.
I am ready to receive all of the miracles and magic coming my way this week.
I am always where I need to be and the timing of my life is perfect for me.

I know campaigns are not built off a single photograph. Strategy, context, partnerships, and long-term planning matter. But sometimes, one image is enough to spark an idea.
I couldn’t help but imagine what it would look like if @CAF_Online used this picture to drive a Clothing and Shelter Drive for millions of homeless African children.
The main copy almost writes itself:
“The rain doesn’t choose who it falls on.
But we can choose who we protect.
Across Africa, children sleep exposed to rain, cold, and fear.
Help us put a roof over a child’s head
and warmth on their back.”
This is why I believe in Sports for Change and Storytelling for Change.
Because beyond medals, rankings, and results, sport still has the power to remind us who we are and who we should be protecting.
If anything we do doesn’t, in some way, help change the world, then we may be missing the bigger picture.
I remain interested in conversations and opportunities around sports marketing, communications, and purpose-driven campaigns where storytelling can create real impact.
Sometimes, impact begins with simply paying attention.
Thank you for capturing this moment @PoojaMedia
HAPPY NEW YEAR Saints! Congratulations for making it thus far. Your YEAR OF THE NEW!
Amongst other things the Lord spoke to us, This is very heavy in the heart of the Father
It’s time to RESTORE THE ORDER! We will be teaching and showing this in worship throughout the year
Someone would graduate with First Class. You would claim it is not by First Class that all the First Class graduates you know are suffering. Only Pass and 3rd Class graduates are making it.
When people celebrate marriage, you claim it is not an achievement. But when your friend gets engaged and married, excitement wants to kill you. When you get engaged and married, you shut down social media with celebration. When people don't celebrate with you on what is supposedly not a celebration by your own admission, you call them haters.
You find it easy using your uncle and father's friends' connect. You also want to marry a rich man. You want to be successful to give a solid foundation to your kids. But you are envious, jealous, and hateful of rich men's children, and people whose own connect are their own parents, who gave them a solid foundation.
Even on this app, you attack people that have big followers and question people who follow them. You accuse them of thinking they have sense just because they have large followers. But you're doing "follow for follow back" to grow your follower base. You hate influencers but want to become one.
I would have called it witchcraft, but I understand. Success has no real enemy. It is a natural victim of envy.
Dear Ikorodu City FC it’s been an interesting 3 seasons together filled with joy, happiness, tough and memorable moments.
We scaled through relegation together, promoted to the NPFL in a remarkable fashion, and of course, a superb NPFL debut season.
The experience garnered.. 1/2
