Is it a crime to confess your feelings to your long-standing friend? I feel young girls these days overdo this thing called a relationship.
What will be your advice to this person?
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson @iamHSDickson
While I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened. (I played field politics, I never waited for anyone to give me ticket), I would like you as the National leader to watch this video again!
This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your Presidential Candidate. Your first one on one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself.
With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively!!!! The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself.
As a leader of a Political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants many of whom are rightfully aggrieved and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer!
No one can take away your leadership of NDC, no one is interested in that! The focus is on Nigeria is winning the 2027 election!
It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better.
There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego!
Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!
I've seen a lots of sitcoms and dramas. The lessons staged in every series' preaches about family, parenting, culture and survival. What's stopping us in Nigeria from producing one? I know Super Story would have been the basis of promoting Nigerian culture
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.
Childhood 🙌🏼
I hope is not a PR Stunts. After I saw "The Boys" my perception changed about celebrities interfering in public matters. Because most of the public opinions are most shaped and use to core advantage and not usually doing the ordinary citizen a favor.
Worse. At this point, I believe that we shouldn't allow these old folks to participate in election. Because they wants to end their days in extreme poverty; like this stupid baba would have children in university and will be expecting when they graduate they will get jobs.
I almost fought one baba today, he came to repair my flat pumps. We just got into the situation of the country and how bad things are gone under this administration. Baba said, we should allow the current government to do another 4 years. That if allowed Peter Obi he will do
Nigeria is a broken society. I’m a sucker for hopeless causes, but yours is a lost cause. You will have to reimagine Nigeria from scratch. I’m scared. No other society behaves this way.
I met my husband because I spilled zobo on him.
At a wedding.
He was the groom’s friend. I was the caterer’s cousin🫣.
I should have died of shame.
Instead, I found my person❤️.
It was December 2019. I was broke, single, and only at that wedding for free food.
He was in a navy blue agbada, looking like a problem I couldn’t afford.
I turned with a cup of zobo.
He turned with his white shoes.
You know the rest.
I apologized 14 times.
He laughed and said: “At least you picked a color that suits me.”
Then he asked for my number.
I said no.
Because pretty men with good jokes are usually trouble😃.
I had a policy.
He found me anyway.
Sent a DM: “Zobo girl, I still have the stain. Does that mean I get a refund or a date?”
I didn’t reply for 3 days.
My friends said I was mad.
I said I was protecting my peace.
Day 4, I replied: “Depends. You still mad about the shoes?”
First date: pepper soup and argument.
We fought about Burna vs Wizkid for 2 hours.
He paid, I insisted on splitting, he refused.
Walking me to my Keke, he said: “You’re stubborn.”
I said: “You like it.”
He said: “I think I do.”
That was the first time I felt seen, not just looked at🥹.
3 years later, he proposed.
Same city. Different wedding.
He wore white shoes again. On purpose.
He said: “I figured if you could ruin one pair, you should get to keep the man.”
I cried into his agbada.
Full circle stains.
People ask what love feels like.
It’s not the big moments.
It’s someone remembering your chaos and calling it destiny.
It’s zobo on white shoes turning into a home.
He didn’t fall for perfect me.
He fell for spilling, stubborn, scared me.
And stayed.
So if you’re wondering whether to text him back…
If you’re scared of looking stupid…
If you think good things don’t happen at weddings…
Shoot your shot.
Your zobo moment might be your beginning😍.
MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola told Nigerians that unlimited data does not exist anywhere in the world unless you are paying a fortune.
Nigerians abroad immediately responded with screenshots of their unlimited plans costing the equivalent of three hours of minimum wage work in the UK.
Karl said nowhere in the world. Nigerians pulled out receipts from the world.
Let us be factual.
India. Jio offers unlimited data, calls, and SMS for the equivalent of N3,500 a month.
UK. Three UK and O2 have unlimited plans a British minimum wage worker clears in under two hours.
USA. T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon all sell unlimited plans. Widely available, Heavily advertised.
Several African markets including South Africa offer near-unlimited plans at more affordable income-relative prices than Nigeria.
What Karl actually meant to say is this.
Unlimited data does not exist anywhere MTN operates at the prices MTN is willing to charge while maintaining the profit margins required to keep shareholders comfortable.
That is the honest sentence. It is just not one a CEO can say in public.
So he said nowhere in the world instead and hoped Nigerians were too poor and too disconnected to fact-check him.
