I’m extremely disappointed in us as Nigerian youths. Extremely.
I woke up this morning to get ready for work without electricity and without water. The last time we had power in my area was Saturday morning. This is Abule Ijesha, Lagos.
I work a 9–5. I earn a substantial amount every month, and yet I’m still dealing with something as basic as the lack of electricity and water.
And meanwhile, young people on Twitter are still allowing tribal sentiments and religious affiliations to divide us in 2026.
Do you people not understand how limited you are compared to young people in developed countries? Do you not understand that if anything happens right now, the politicians who are the most privileged among us have the means to leave this country while the rest of us remain here to deal with the consequences?
Do you genuinely think the elites care about the tribal and religious divisions they use to keep us fighting each other?
Your Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources in Lagos can be online flaunting a Patek Philippe while young people are struggling with basic infrastructure. And this is just a Commissioner.
They know exactly what they’re doing. They know that as long as we’re distracted by tribe, religion, sex, politics and whatever other silly division they can exploit, we won’t look up and ask the people actually responsible for our living conditions the difficult questions.
This is disgusting.
And honestly, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Not because we are powerless, but because we have failed woefully to recognize where our collective interests lie.
We keep fighting each other while the people benefiting from this dysfunction continue to live above the consequences of it.
We need to do better.
Fake yoghurt. Fake milk. Fake toothpaste. Fake beverages. And now, fake sachet water.
This is no longer something we can dismiss as one bad batch from one bad seller. We are seeing too many cases of fake and substandard products making their way into the market.
How do you protect yourself and your family when you can’t always tell what is genuine? Let’s talk…
I was on call in a private hospital when one of my nurses developed abdominal pains.
I ran around despite resistance from the hospital's admin to ensure she got an Ultrasound (they wanted her to pay first!).
Results showed Acute Appendicitis. This private hospital refused to book her in for urgent surgery until she made a deposit of 750K (Ps-She works here and her salary is less than 180K).
We mobilized her and sent her with another nurse to a government hospital. She went to 4 different government hospitals and 'No bed space' was all they said and turned them back (not even minding she was a nurse!).
I had to ask them to bring her back to the private hospital where she finally had the surgery after myself and 3 other nurses including the patient signed to have deductions from our salaries till the debt was paid.
She had a ruptured appendix when we finally went in which changed the surgery from a simple appendectomy to an Ex-Lap. 750k became 1.6M and we had to pay it for 5 months till it was completed. She is fine now but just putting this out here.
Most times, we pray… but many times, we don’t watch.
To watch means to stay alert—to be on your guard and not let it down.
It means doing whatever is necessary on your part physically, so you are not a victim, while trusting God to do what only He can do.
In Nehemiah 4:7–9, the people prayed, but they also set a watch against the enemy. They understood that spirituality does not cancel responsibility.
There are those determined to oppose the gospel in this land. That is why we must not only pray, but also remain vigilant just like the children of Israel did.
There is a time for prayer, and there is a time for watch (practical action).
Stay prayerful.
Stay watchful. 🔥
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.
LIES YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOURSELF
1. WHAT IS MINE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME: Who told you that? Abeg get up and go get it...Fortune favours the Brave!
2. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CANNOT CHANGE: No Sir/Ma, Times are changing , your adaptability to changing Seasons will always put you ahead of others. Did you hear a Wise man when he said- Madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
3. I DON’T NEED ANYONE, I CAN MAKE IT ON MY OWN: No matter how disappointed you are with people, you must need someone at some point to help you navigate through life’s hurdles. God Ordained Relationships are answered Prayers.
4. MY CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER, I CAN MAKE IT REGARDLESS: Some habits are blessing blockers. Be Careful!
5. I AM TIRED MEANS I SHOULD GIVE UP: This Week, you might get exhausted mentally, physically etc. issues might stress and attempt to drain you. It’s okay to be tired....REST and hit the road again...NO GIVE UP MENTALITY here!
6. I AM WHAT I DO : Overtime , you probably may have disappointed yourself with your actions but always remember- YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Your Identity is who God says You are not what you’ve done.
7. I STILL HAVE TIME: You’ve got no time to waste time. Every time you are lazy, someone is working real hard. Every new day brings you closer to your next birthday- I don’t think you have as much time as you say you have. FACE YOUR FRONT. BE ALL IN with your Purpose and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
Hope this made a little sense...

Just being in the garage doesn't make you a car, you might be going to church and not be born again.
If morally excellent people like Cornelius and Nicodemus needed the gospel, then it's not about good character, but about faith in Jesus.

I was just a girl who had recently declared her love for God, no grand stage, just a heart that was ready to surrender. I had made the decision to walk away from everything that didn’t align with the life He was calling me into(hot breakfast caused the self reflection 😭). I wanted more, not just religion, but truth.
At the time, I didn’t have a physical church I was attending. But a friend introduced me to a prayer app called T30, and I started listening in. I remember hearing a preacher there whose words cut deep, not out of condemnation but out of clarity. I thought to myself, “Who is this man?”
So I went to YouTube, and that’s how I found Celebration Church. While browsing, I stumbled on something titled Reboot Camp. I had no idea what it was, but I clicked out of curiosity. That single click changed everything.
The program had happened in December 2022, but I didn’t stream it until January 2023. It was during that replay that I heard the gospel truly preached for the first time in my adult life. No scare tactics. No shouting about witches and wizards. Just the raw, pure message of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
I was on a BRT bus when Pastey began to pray especially for those who had not yet spoken in tongues. Something in me stirred. And right there, on that moving bus, surrounded by strangers and Lagos traffic, I rededicated my life to Jesus.
I’m not even sure the rededications I had done before then were genuine. But this one? I knew. It was different.
And right there on that bus, I spoke in tongues for the first time in my life. No one laid hands on me. No altar call. Just me, a screen, and a hungry heart.
It may have been a replay, but heaven was live.
And now two years later I’m inviting you. Yes, you. Reboot Camp 2025 is coming, and I don’t want you to miss what changed my life forever.
Don’t wait for the perfect setting. Don’t wait to “feel ready.” Just come hungry.
God is still showing up. He’s still filling hearts. And He can meet you, anywhere.
