We are all little weird,life is a little weird also,and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love
Let me start with the thing nobody wants to say.
Atiku Abubakar is wrong. Bringing back the fuel subsidy is not the answer. We tried it for forty years. It made a few men billionaires, it fed smugglers at our borders, and it never once put money in the pocket of the woman selling tomatoes by the roadside. Going back to it would be going back to the same thieves.
Mr President, you have done well. Removing the subsidy was hard and you did it. You have also sent far more money to the states than any President before you. The Federal Government has done its part.
Now the states must do theirs.
And let me say this as plainly as I know how, so that no governor can pretend to misunderstand it.
Subsidising transport inside a state is the job of that state government. It is not the job of the President. It has never been his job. It is not his job today. It will not be his job tomorrow. Moving people around Ilorin is not the work of Abuja, it is the work of the Kwara State Government. Moving people around Kano is the work of Kano State. Moving people around Lagos is the work of Lagos State.
This is not my opinion. It is our Constitution. Transport within a state is a state matter. The Federal Government has no business running a bus from Ozumba Mbadiwe to Ikorodu, and it should not be asked to. In fact, since the constitutional amendment of 2023, our governors have more power over transport than any governors in the history of this republic. They are simply not using it.
So when a governor tells you the hardship in his state is Abuja's fault, ask him one question: what have you done with your own allocation?
Because that is where the money is. And that is where the responsibility is.
In December 2022, one bus drop inside a Nigerian city cost ₦644. Today it is ₦1,431. Our people are now working half the month just to pay the bus. A man who cannot afford to reach his workplace does not really have a job. A child who cannot afford to reach school does not really have an education.
So this is what I am asking every one of the 36 governors and the Minister of the FCT to do.
One. Students ride free. Every student, to school and back home, at no cost. Not discounted. Free.
Two. Nobody pays more than ₦500. From one end of a city to the farthest end of that same city, ₦500 maximum. And in our smaller cities and towns, it should be far less than that.
Three. Do not buy a single bus. Governors, please. No buses. No taxis. No boats. We have seen those vehicles rusting in government yards from Sokoto to Yenagoa. Instead, register the drivers who are already on the road, fix the fare the passenger pays, and pay the driver the difference.
Four. Pay only for trips you can prove. GPS on the vehicle, a tap card in the passenger's hand. If a trip did not happen, nobody gets paid. That is how you kill fraud before it is born.
The drivers will not lose. The drivers will get richer. Today a driver chases passengers in traffic and prays. Under this scheme he earns a guaranteed payment from the state every month. With steady income he can service his vehicle, and in time he can buy a newer, cleaner, safer one.
And our people will feel it immediately. Money that used to disappear into transport will stay in the pocket for food, for rent, for medicine, for school fees. That is a pay rise that costs nobody a job.
Now, the money. FAAC allocations to the states have exploded since the subsidy was removed from ₦2.8 trillion in 2022 to ₦7.3 trillion in 2025. Nigerians have been asking a fair question ever since: where did it go?
I am asking each state to spend no more than five per cent of its FAAC allocation on this. Five per cent. Ninety-five per cent remains untouched for everything else.
If a governor cannot find five per cent to stop his own people from suffering, then the problem in that state was never money.
I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing
Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location
But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲
And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings
I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥

Let the world see what a young Nigerian can build
This is beautiful. Looking at this photo, it’s honestly shameful how far the muslim world has fallen to the point we actually allowed Palestine to be occupied by the zionists.
As a muslim, the absolute cowardice of our history and leadership is just pathetic. The rot started way back with the weak muslim leadership right before the time that Palestine was occupied by the zionists. Those leaders traded unity for nationalism, tribalism, and Western lies, completely abandoning the land and setting up everything we’re seeing today.
And todays muslim leadership has only perfected that betrayal. Over 50 muslim-majority nations, massive billion-dollar military budgets, and a global Ummah of more than two billion people, yet our leaders do nothing but issue worthless "strongly worded statements" while secretly protecting their normalization deals and wealth. While the Ottomans held the line and protected Al-Aqsa for four centuries, the modern Ummah has traded collective honor for absolute weakness and division. It’s a total disgrace. 🤦🏽♂️
Look at this Superpower.
The US President feels so secure that he brings missile defense to a golf course.
If an Iranian official did the same, Trump @POTUS would tweet: “I made them so terrified they even fear golf balls! They even bring missiles to play golf. They’re weak. They’re terrified. We destroyed them.”
Double standards much?
Meanwhile, our Supreme Leader was martyred at his workplace with no bunker, no missile shield, no escape.
This is why we say: There’s a world of difference between us and US (uppercase/lowercase matters)
🇺🇸 NEW: Hegseth criticized Iran for investing in missiles and weapons instead of its people, while the Pentagon and Trump are asking Congress for $200B in additional war funding.
The joke writes itself. The U.S. is run by idiots.
