Privilege is such an interesting thing I often find myself thinking about. We do not ask for the life we have, and that is why I'm very mindful of it. You often find it a lot in my writing.
Last week, my cleaner told me on Monday(2 days ago) was her birthday. I asked her what age we are celebrating and she said 33. Epiphany hit me that my agemate is my cleaner. I wore a wry smile as I nodded my head and told her to remind me on Monday so she could get her gift.
I then went to my room to deal with the epiphany of privilege. In another universe, that could easily have been me.
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,
I don’t know these doctors personally,
But we can’t watch evil and say nothing.
Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,
It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Ever since I learned about the way the subconscious mind works, I take people mistreating me so much more seriously.
People mistreating you are programming "worthlessness" into your subconscious, and that literally alters the course of your life.
You are writing a full epistle because of 321 in JAMB and 7A1s? My brother in academia, those are historical artifacts for average students.
You think 321 is an academic IDAN moment? I cleared JAMB with a massive 366. While you were struggling to get 7A1s, I demolished both WAEC and NECO with A1 parallel. The examination boards had to use my scripts as marking guides.
You are fighting for your life and blaming lecturers for a 4.96 in one single department. Meanwhile, I am maintaining a flawless 5.0 CGPA in OAU, Obafemi Awolowo University! The undisputed headquarters of academic shege and the absolute most difficult university to survive in Nigeria.
While your lecturers are spoon-feeding you, I am conquering the ruthless trenches of OAU grading with straight A's across the board. No B's, no stories. And I am concurrently running multiple degrees on top of that!
I am not here to drop long caps without empirical evidence. I have attached my receipts below for your viewing pleasure. Check the screenshots and understand the true definition of an academic giant.
If we are in the same class, you will be the one wiping the board before I enter. Fold that your result and drink water. We are not mates! ✌🏾
Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy
Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.
From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.
It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.
It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.
The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.
Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.
My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.
I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO
I’m not trying to be controversial, but if we're demanding civic responsibility from religious leaders, it shouldn't be limited to or reserved for a single religion.
Wetin dey pain me pass no be the benefactors of the government wey still dey support o!
Na the ones wey dey suffer everyday, yet still blinded by tribe, sentiment, or pure foolishness.
I know there’s a coping mechanism spirit in this country.
But honestly, I refuse to normalize this nonsense.
Inflation, insecurity, suffering everywhere… nah.
We shouldn’t be coping with problems this serious, we should be demanding better.
