The Supreme Court is generally functus officio after delivering its judgment and will only revisit its decision in exceptional circumstances.
In JOKOLO v. GOVERNOR OF KEBBI STATE & ORS (2026) LPELR-84411(SC), the apex court reaffirmed the principle of finality of litigation by
Michael Jackson had to cut a deal with a drug lord to film this video. The Brazilian government tried to block the shoot. A judge banned the filming. The police refused to enter the area.
Rio was bidding to host the 2004 Olympics and didn't want the world seeing footage of its poorest neighborhoods. So Spike Lee walked into the favela (Rio's version of a hillside slum) and found the local crime boss. His name was Marcinho VP. He ran one of the city's biggest gangs, Comando Vermelho. He also happened to be a huge Jackson fan, and he provided the whole production with security for free.
A higher court eventually overturned the ban. The police still wouldn't go in. So 1,500 police officers and 50 residents acting as security guards sealed off the favela. Jackson arrived by helicopter. He walked the streets handing out candy to the kids. The people who lived there had woken up early that morning to sweep the streets and take out the trash before he got there.
Mid-shoot, two women burst through security. One knocked Jackson flat. Spike Lee helped him up and he kept dancing. That exact take is in the final video.
For the Salvador half of the shoot, he worked with 200 drummers from a local group called Olodum. The media coverage put them on the map in 140 countries. They'd been a regional act before the shoot. They became a global one after.
Over 200 million people watched the premiere around the world. The song itself peaked at #30 in America. In Germany it went to #1 and stayed on the chart for 30 weeks, the longest run of any Jackson song there. The video crossed 1 billion views on YouTube in 2023. Only one other Jackson video has done that: Billie Jean. He's the first solo male singer from the 1900s with two videos over a billion.
The day after Jackson died in 2009, Rio's mayor announced they'd put a statue of him in the same favela where the video was shot. Locals said the turnaround of their neighborhood started with his visit.
Myself and 3 other Nigerians have been unlawfully detained in Johannesburg airport for literally doing nothing, papers complete, visa valid and they literally just singled us out of the crowd for nothing, and onenof us's phone has been seized all day and hasn't been allowed to reach out to anyone. They are trying to take my own phone now, so I am putting this out so that the world knows that if anything happens to us, south Africa should be held responsible, please repost and tag the authorities concerned..
They are saying that they will detain us for no reason until God knows when.
We are telling them that we want to book another flight back home immediately and they are refusing that.

Wigwe University is collecting ₦9.6m – ₦12m PER SESSION (tuition only) — accommodation is extra.
Nobody is shouting. Nobody is invoking conscience. Nobody is mentioning tithe.
But suddenly…
Covenant University charging ₦1.7m – ₦2m ALL‑INCLUSIVE
(tuition, accommodation, medical, facilities, security, power, water)
now becomes a moral problem because it’s church‑owned?
Landmark University is even cheaper — ₦650k – ₦800k ALL‑INCLUSIVE — same church ecosystem, same discipline, same structure.
So what exactly is the argument?
That because members prayed, the university must now run at a loss?
That tithe is a discount voucher?
That excellence should bow to sentiment?
Please rest.
When rich men build universities and charge ₦10m+, it’s “elite education.”
When churches build and charge ₦2m, it’s “wickedness.”
That hypocrisy is louder than any sermon.
Tithe is worship, not entitlement.
Church‑owned does not mean charity school.
Excellence is expensive — everywhere in the world.
Argue affordability if you like, but stop weaponizing tithe to mask entitlement.
Facts don’t bend to emotions.

Naval Ravikant.
He was an early investor in Uber, Twitter, and Notion.
And he just said, “Networking is overrated. Become a person of value.”
3 philosophies on networking (and why you should care):
@Solomon_Buchi When I say marry a kind woman, I don't even mean a woman who cooks for the family. That's great but I mean a woman whose conscience is alive. A woman who would tell you "baby let me pay for the remaining 2months rent since you have paid for 10months". That's kindness.
As a student leader, it was very normal to respect the name, and sacrifices of the man "Omoyele Sowore. It was, and remains an household name in the students movement. But I really never understood the magnitude of his sacrifices until 2012 in my 200L when I arrived my
States were created to give Generals perpetual access to government funds via oil
Oil revenues are shared out according to land mass so a General gave his home State millions of land mass. If you remove 13% derivation , that State receives more than the State that generates the oil wealth
State capitals were picked based on whims, a particular rich State had its Head office picked by the wife of a General
Every law you see today is designed to access oil revenue

This was how my mum’s dad (my grandfather on the maternal side) recorded my birth in Yoruba Language back in 1971. He was a brilliant and handsome guy with nice handwriting, unfortunately he passed on not too long after I was born. His name was and still remains, John Olawoye!

Sanwo-Olu paid lawyers that defended him at the Election Petition Tribunal with taxpayers money from the treasury of Lagos State. All my life, I have never seen this kind of callous and mindless abuse. Totally unacceptable.

I visited a customer that particular day circa 2007/8. She sold cement and was prominent among the distributors in the city. While discussing with her, I saw she had a prayer book produced by Mountain of Fire and Miracles.
