Hello everyone ,
It’s been a very interesting 24hrs .
Yesterday, I made a statement about Peter Obi that generated a very strong reaction here .
My intention wasn’t to make him look unattractive or deride him in any way . It was borne out of frustration as to how eerily familiar this process felt like the 2023 episode.
To be honest , I love Peter Obi and the image he represents. He comes across as really empathetic and compassionate. Even after 2023 he remained consistent in lending a helping hand where he could outside of election cycles . This is not something we are used to seeing a politician do . He remains the politician who has no criminal case of corruption attached to his name . This is commendable and must never be taken lightly.
I apologize to everyone who might have been hurt by my comments yesterday despite what my intentions were .
We all want a Nigeria that works !
I really do hope that the New Nigeria will be one we all get to see and be proud of in our lifetime.
As Nigerians , we must never forget that though we might disagree on issues , we are all in this boat together and together we must do all we can to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams .
God bless you!

I’ve been in Jos for like 5 days now and I have a lot to say.
Firstly, I never knew a people could be this nice and kind and respectful.
I almost felt sick because I never knew people could still be like that.
Lagos has fried my brain. People call you Sir while offering every service to you.
From the suya guy to the super market attendant to the local restaurant to every single person.
I’ve never seen this before in my life. In Lagos, the way I know the food in a restaurant would be good is if the woman is rude.
I never trust the food of a polite food seller in Lagos.
But I’m here where everyone treats you with respect.
Then things are cheaper. The uber that will normally cost 10 million naira here in Lagos is 2,500 here.
I’ve never seen life lived like this before. I see clear road everywhere.
I’m not scared of holding my phone carelessly.
Hotel is cheap with free WiFi. Omo. Jos na place.
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Good. Jesus is the shepherd. The chief shepherd. We have human shepherds around. People who see to the flock over which they are made overseers.
The devil is the thief. The chief thief. Whoever John 10 refers to as thieves, the devil is still their chief.
He equally told these same folks they were if their father the devil.
So they are liars, the devil is the chief liar.
Are there thieves? Yes, and the devil is the chief thief.
The devil is still a thief in any world where the Christian belief comes to play.
False teachers do not operate in a vacuum. ✅
There is often a spiritual power behind false teaching. ✅
Satan works through human agents. ✅
1 John 4 does connect false prophets with deceiving spirits. ✅
The question is whether recognizing a satanic influence behind false teachers means we are free to identify the thief in John 10:10 as Satan.
Take your own example. In 1 John 4:1, John explicitly distinguishes between “spirits” and “false prophets.”
The false prophets are not the spirits.
The spirits are not the false prophets.
They are related, but they are not identical.
Likewise, in John 10, one can say the thief is the false shepherd, and Satan stands behind the false shepherd. However, Jesus still seems to be speaking directly about those shepherds and what He’s saying about them is important.
Discussing the meaning of the text is not being unnecessarily disagreeable.
Okay. It's good. Now, if you are honest, pick the other opposition and write about how they merged multiple parties to have the APC. We've been following Nigerian politics for a while. So as it stands. Na draw we dey at the moment. 1-1. Talk another thing .
You know, it’s always funny when people portray Obi’s parting ways with PDP and ADC as his being “principled” and refusal to participate in evil politics, because last time I checked, he didn’t leave any of those parties because of their corruption, he left when he realized he wasn’t going to benefit from it.
Peter Obi was in PDP for years, he was well aware of the “dirt and corruption” involved, yet he stayed, his “principles” didn’t make him leave, not until he lost out on the benefit he sought to get from the party, the Presidency ticket.
Same thing happened with ADC when he went back to his vomit to align with the individuals he claimed to have left as a result of their “corruption”, so many people said that nobody who was actually principled against corruption will align with El Rufai, Atiku, Dino Melaye, Malami etc, every single one of them were labelled “APC/BAT/RONU” supporters.
He was both unprincipled and a terrible politician because it was not just obvious that joining with such contradicts the ideology of someone principled against corruption, but it was also obvious that joining was a futile attempt because there was no way he was going to beat Atiku at his corrupt game. But what did he do? He went head on.
Now, he didn’t leave ADC as a result of the corruption he saw there, as whenever he was asked about the moral bankruptcy of the corrupt politicians he aligned with, he said “we are the same” and consistently refused to comment on it, but the moment he realized that the corruption in that party was going to lead to him not being Presidential candidate, he left, wasting so much time.
Someone took a mic and said “Church take back your country” in one election, only to partner with the biggest persecutors of the church, El Rufai, Kwakwanso who passed Sharia Law in Kano, or we don’t know what principles are anymore??
A person who had over 6 Million votes with an unpopular party, had 4 Years to build on that momentum in that party, failed to build the party, ran on the first encounter of storm and 3 Years later, found himself in the very same low-level-party position he was in the last election is not just an unprincipled politician but a terrible one.
But. He is a bad politician 🙂. May I never understand whatever that statement means. Being a good politician is building your own empire. I don't get how we can't see this thing is just anti the faith we proclaim. A good politician who doesn't care about the people is not a choice. If that's all we have available, then we have no choice.

We must vote defend our vote this time around.
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
There is this guy currently going to neighborhoods to make people aware of the insecurity in the country and why they need to come out and.
Imagine if we have 1,000 youths in each state doing this and creating awareness. Even without live protests, Nigerian youths at home can do this and win against the government.
Get your voter’s card before it’s too late. I heard it’s closing soon.

Good morning.
Paul also spoke positively about being married. More than he did for being married. Let's situate things within their proper context. Scriptures are clear. The only Christian reason to stay and remain single is service to God's kingsom. Nothing wrong with developing yourself as a single. But there are two sides to a coin. Let's not flatten it out.
Good morning sir.
If the country can deploy this much to protect the president, then it's a shame that 42 kids are in the hands of bandits. So we can trace people? Amazing.
You are within your fundamental rights to criticise the President and the federal government.
But if you spread fake news about insecurity and cause people fear, hysteria or panic, the DSS might visit you, arrest you and charge you.
Don’t moan, don’t cry. You have been warned!
@BigDowat The north is the test case.
Twelve northern Nigerian states already operate under Sharia law. Nigeria is currently ranked sixth globally for terrorism impact according to the 2025 Global Terrorism Index.
Boko Haram was not founded despite Sharia being present in the north. It was founded inside it, in Maiduguri, Borno State, one of the Sharia states, with the stated goal of extending Sharia further.
15 million people affected. 2 million displaced. Up to 30,000 dead. All in the Sharia north.
The experiment has already been run. The results are in.
If them adopt sharia law, none of the criminals would be safe. Because sharia law says anyone that takes another man’s life unjustly should also be unalived not rehabilitate them
For too many people, we fail to recognise God's mercy upon the Church.
When God uses our critics to scourge us from pride, we throw tantrums and start defending our shame.
Every opportunity to introspect and hopefully repent is turned away because our ego is more important than our God.
Good morning, @reformedgirly.
This is quite a lean view of marriage and singleness. Paul is not the only author of scripture. To pick a verse from 1 Corinthians 7 which Paul clearly stated was for "this present time" and turn it into a full-blown universal take on marriage is rather overreaching.
If we take a look through the entire narrative arc of scripture, we cannot arrive at 1 Corinthians 7 and conclude that Paul is actually saying singleness is better.
Even if we stick with that interpretation, chapter 7 has a host of scriptural wrestling to do before it can stand.
You have Genesis 1, 2, and 5 situating God's created order as something that relies heavily on marriage and not singleness for its perpetuity.
The Song of Solomon is the celebration of love leading to marriage within the context of an onlooking community that gets to poke its nose in from time to time. The book is loud on garden imagery, which ties back to Genesis and the Eden narrative.
If Eden was God's ideal at the beginning, then the Song of Solomon, in using garden imagery, shows us that marriage is God's ideal, not singleness.
The burning you speak about, the lust which is the same word translated as desire across the New Testament, is actually a strong feature within the Song of Solomon.
The Old Testament is riddled with passages where Yahweh uses marriage to describe his union with Israel. It is impossible to read through all of this and arrive at “singleness is better.”
In fact, singleness is choked out of the room.
When you come into the New Testament, the situation really does not change. Jesus upholds marriage. Matthew 19, where the Pharisees bring questions on divorce, is very instructive. In the beginning, he made them male and female. Jesus is not innovating. He is reaching back to the original design and holding it up as the standard that the Mosaic concession was never meant to replace. Divorce has no ground in that design except on very stringent terms. It is to this that his disciples respond in complaint, that it is better to stay single. They saw the vision of Jesus for marriage and felt it was too much.
On the issue of eunuchs, the three categories are clear and do not need explanation. A life lived without marriage is not for everyone and should be one given entirely to the service of God. Anything outside of this turns singleness into plain idolatry. It becomes the worship of self and the solitude that comes from being alone.
Past Jesus, the next great commentary on marriage is Paul. In Ephesians and many other places, Paul gives what we can frame as universal injunctions to husbands and wives. He uses marriage as a figure to describe the union between Christ and the church. Other apostles do the same. The book of Revelation describes a wedding feast between Christ and his church.
Nowhere does Paul celebrate singleness as the norm within the plans, purposes, and pursuits of God. What he upholds repeatedly is marriage.
So when you situate 1 Corinthians 7 within its appropriate place in scripture, we cannot reach the conclusion that singleness is better, except within the immediate context of the present time Paul himself names.
That said, we must not allow the individualism that is ravaging the world to find its way into our lives and our interpretation of God's word. That individualism is unholy, idolatrous, and antichrist. God's plans move through covenant. They always have. A theology built around the autonomous self was never going to carry them very far.
Stay blessed, dear sister.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with being single or wanting to be single. I think a lot of christians have made an idol out of marriage to the point that they twist scripture around it. Paul literally said singleness was better.
The
false teachers,
false pastors,
false apostles,
false prophets,
false evangelists,
false brethren;
all work for the devil, the prince of the power of the air, the spirit at work in the chidren of disobedience.
