May whoever has the ear of the war monger kindly lullaby his temper🙏

Tell him that the knife has no gain in the meat it chops.
The silence that trails a war is not peace, but unvoiced cries of those who have lost too many to wail over.
The real war is the later quest of WHY?

When things are smooth—-Pray.

When you experience a miracle— Pray.

When you are in difficult times— Pray.

When your life is still— Pray.

When your life is regressing — Pray.

When you are at your best— Pray.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR PETER OBI AND OBIDIENTS

1. At the private ECFR roundtable in Berlin, "Nigeria in 2027 and Beyond," you told the room you won the 2023 election and that it was rigged.

If you truly won, where is the reconstructed vote count showing you actually won , and why did it never appear in your own petition to the Presidential Election Petition Court?

2. You have also acknowledged, in effect, that you lost the North outright and never built an alliance there. You just started that with Kwankwaso. You secured only 14.2 per cent of the vote across the entire north.

How can you admit you won the election and admit you also lost the North?

3. You told the room that Governor Alia of Benue advised you not to visit the state, that a shootout occurred when you went anyway, and that this amounts to a plan to assassinate you. What evidence connects a governor's caution to an assassination plot, rather than a governor trying to keep you out of a security situation he already knew was live?

4. If your waking moments are spent demarketing and misrepresenting Nigeria, why do you think you should be voted to lead it?

Yoruba people were reading news in their own language before Nigeria had a single English paper. Nigeria’s very first newspaper was not printed in English. Iwe Irohin launched in Abeokuta in December 1859, in Yoruba, before any other newspaper existed anywhere in the country.

Umar Bago, the Governor of Niger State, has removed all Fulani district heads (traditional rulers) in the state and replaced them with chiefs. He said the decision was prompted by the rising cases of kidnapping. According to him, when kidnapped victims are released after ransom is paid, they often identify Fulani as those responsible for the abductions.
He also stated that whenever there is a dispute between the indigenous people of Niger State and some Fulani communities, some of those involved allegedly invite their relatives from neighboring countries to join the conflict.
In addition, there have been growing concerns over land grabbing involving some Fulani groups in Niger State.

Nigeria has now banned the export of cocoa and partnered with three other African countries to dictate the prices of cocoa to push domestic production.

I’m so tired of “them” coming to buy our natural resources for cheap and then selling it at a premium back to us, it's never made sense. I’m optimistic about our future with all these new policies 🤩

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The "Doll Test" was a psychological experiment designed in the 1940s to test the degree of marginalization felt by black children children caused by prejudice, discrimination and racial segregation.

In the 1940s, psychologists Dr. Kenneth Clark and Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark conducted what became known as the "Doll Test," a groundbreaking experiment that explored how racial segregation and discrimination affected the self perception of Black children in the United States.

During the study, children were shown two dolls that were identical except for their skin color. They were asked a series of questions, including which doll they preferred, which doll they thought was "nice," and which one looked "bad." Many of the Black children associated positive qualities with the white doll while assigning negative traits to the Black doll. Perhaps the most heartbreaking moment came when some children identified the Black doll as looking most like themselves after already describing it negatively.

The findings revealed the profound psychological impact of growing up in a society where segregation and racism constantly suggested that whiteness was superior. The study demonstrated that prejudice was not only shaping opportunities but also influencing how children saw their own worth and identity from a very young age.

The Doll Test became an important piece of evidence in the landmark 1954 United States Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The research helped illustrate that segregation caused real emotional and psychological harm to children, reinforcing the argument that separate educational systems could never truly be equal.

If in 2026, you are still asking why Ogun State VAT is low despite the production and consumption here, I really don’t know what to say. VAT is credited to the state where companies file and remit.

A cement company mines and produces cement in Ogun State, but its HQ is in Lagos, their orders will be processed in Lagos, invoices issued from Lagos, and for that reason, VAT is credited to their Lagos office.

Take for example: In 2025, Ogun State had the highest average amount per transaction per Moniepoint records (arguably the biggest retail payments platform in the country). Which state does the VAT accrue to? Where is Moniepoint HQ?

Ogun State has the second-highest number of mobile internet subscribers and active SIM connections in Nigeria, second only to Lagos. Which state does the VAT from purchases accrue to?

Ogun State is the most industrialized state in Nigeria, and overwhelmingly, the majority of those industries are HQ’d in Lagos. Which state does the VAT accrue to?

Messi is NOT humble, just as Cristiano Ronaldo is not arrogant.

They are the same in that trait: confident and dominant. The only difference is that Ronaldo talks and asserts more.

They are both gods of the game, and humility is not a trait of gods.

Remember, “We will bring the Champions League back to Camp Nou.”

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

A Black man tried to vote in Florida, so they erased his entire town.

Ocoee, Election Day, 1920. Mose Norman showed up to the polls and was turned away. That night, mobs attacked the Black side of town. July Perry was lynched.

Homes and churches burned. Ocoee's Black community fled — and the town stayed essentially all-white for decades.

All because one man tried to vote. We documented it in our book, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For. Get yours with the link below https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

@og_beeping101 Talk about petty the people he fires when he starts sweeping his room in Aso Rock where will they work. Is that not adding to the unemployment? Instead of slashing the salaries&allowances of politicians he wants to sack the poor cleaners who are struggling to make ends meet

[OG Beeper|| aka MJ’s baby @og_beeping101]

I honestly don’t want a president this classless. I expect certain standards from someone vying to be president. All that, ‘I have one watch, one shoe’ material needs to die in Nigerian politics. Those are not what makes you competent. To me they make you incompetent. What we want is to pick your brain to know how intelligent and strategic you are, also your track records if any. It’s not by how poor you can sound. I personally don’t want a president that is poor and has never tasted luxury before.

Tell me one spiritual problem that SCIENCE did not solve

Before modern science and medicine

- "Witches caused the plagues". Science brought a solution

- "Witches caused barrenness". Science brought IVF and soon IVG"

For every thing we blamed a spiritual entity for, science provided a solution. From energy, to health, to transportation, to education, to poverty, famine, etc. Science has always been at the forefront of bringing solutions

From history, we have learnt that all the so called witches that were killed by people were not the reason for anything they accused them of. Ignorance and folly pushed the murder of innocent lives.

In Nigeria,
A couple will struggle to give birth for 5 years and someone in their family will be labelled a witch. meanwhile, take them to do IVF and they will have kids

Ignorance is the enemy
