THE MOMENT EMIR OF KATSINA TOOK @officialABAT tinubu AND HIS CAMPAIGN TEAM TO THE WASHERS
“My palace is not a polling centre to visit every 4years when pressed during election only to vanish till another election cycle.
In my emirate alone, fifty-two schools closed because of bandits. Same number in Doka. Farmers cannot go to farm in 12 local government areas of Katsina. People pay up to ten to twenty million naira to Bello Turji and his boys.
And you come talking about DG campaign for Tinubu 2027. Should you not be talking about DG security for Katsina 2026? Where is Bello Turji? You promised to handle security. Bello Turji is in the forest, a hundred kilometres from here. Go and bring him, then come and campaign.
If you are selfish, my people will be selfish with their votes. If you do politics of selfishness only for your family, for your cronies, for your friends, and for your contacts, then people will also do politics of selfishness. They will collect your rice and vote against you. They will collect five thousand and still vote for who they want.
In 2023, you brought rice, you brought money, but Katsina people still split their votes. In 2027, if you bring the same selfish politics, they will collect your money but will not vote for you. And I assure you that.”
Mustafa Chike-Obi, former Chairman of Fidelity Bank, explains the housing dilemma in Nigeria.
If you buy a house worth N50m today and it's worth N200m in five years, you're richer by N150m. But you can't do anything with it.
You can't sell it, because if you do, your next house will cost more because all the properties have gone up.
If you stay in the house, you can't get any money out of it.
•What he says now: In his appearances on Arise News, he insists that the Federal Government has not awarded any contract valued at ₦15 trillion. Because the 700+ km highway is being designed and procured in phases (such as Section 1 from Victoria Island to Eleko for ₦1.06 trillion), he argues there is no official, single master bill of engineering for the entire stretch yet.

•What he said on Channels TV: When he originally mentioned the ₦15.3 trillion sum, he explicitly qualified it as a "tentative figure." He arrived at it live on air by multiplying the early cost-per-kilometer projection (roughly ₦4.5 billion to ₦7.5 billion per km depending on lanes) across the estimated full length of the road.

Sometimes, forgiveness doesn't mean things go back to the way they were.
You can forgive someone and still need time to rebuild trust.
You can let go of resentment without giving someone the same access to you.
And you can wish someone well while protecting your peace.
You keep checking their phone but what are you really looking for?
Why do we feel the need to check our partner's phone?
Sometimes it's not really about the phone—it's about trust, fear, insecurity and unanswered questions.
“I was hospitalized for months, and I felt so useless. I would see my colleagues post skits and burst into tears because I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to do it again. I was scared people would have forgotten me by the time I returned.” — Broda Shaggi
