This advice is not only for football-ambitious people alone, it’s for everybody. Create optionality for yourself. There’s no crime in having options in life.
“To bändits, kidnǎppers, and sponsors of terror: Surrender or face the full force of the Nigerian State. These windows of surrender will not remain open forever. No mercy will be shown to those who trade in the blood of Nigerians.” — President Tinubu.
1. Atiku Abubakar is broke (full stop).
2. He was financially decimated by Buhari, who wanted to ensure he would no longer have a large war chest to fund an election.
3. Buhari achieved this through Hadiza Usman, who frustrated Intels, a company co-owned by Atiku.
4. In 2021, Atiku sold his shares in Intels and used the money to run in the 2023 PDP primary election. Gov. Wike made sure Atiku spent big in PDP primaries by paying $30,000 per delegate.
5. Atiku who was fully extorted, needed a sitting governor to open his state treasury to co-fund his 2023 campaign, and Gov. Okowa came in handy.
6. Records show that Gov. Okowa borrowed N30,000,000,000 from three banks, Zenith Bank, UBA, and Access Bank. That was the money used for Atiku’s presidential campaign in 2023.
6b. EFCC records shows that Okowa could not show which project swallowed the last minute loan he took from 3 banks in 2022 using Delta state allocation as security.
7. Atiku’s remaining businesses, like America a university of Nigeria, Adama Beverage Limited, Gotel Communications, and Prodeco Nigeria Limited, cannot provide Atiku with the funds needed for the 2027 election, so he's looking for another “Okowa.” Sadly, that option is now limited.
8. Atiku has 25 voracious children waiting for food to be ready. Potential 25 Seyi Tinubu’s. Can Nigeria survive it? No!
9. Bottom line is: what we've seen Tinubu do will be child’s play compared to what Atiku will do if he becomes president.
10. A man who’s badly financially decimated and damaged, who has sold many assets and liquidated numerous businesses in his quest for the presidency, will first recover his investments before doing anything else.
11. If Tinubu, with Lagos treasury in his hands, is still hustling and scavenging the nation like a hungry vulture, imagine what Atiku will do.
12. Peter Obi remains Nigeria’s only real option. He's not broke. He's not hungry. He will not thief up your money.
13. This cannot be said about Atiku and Tinubu.
14. May God save us from Atiku and Tinubu.

The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.
Young Nigerians - Take back your country!

As an @Arsenal fan since 2006, I have to say I learned a lot from this #EPL win. All I can say is that patience, perseverance, consistency and hard-work are underrated. I have to continually apply these in all I do.
Being a Nigerian is a huge headache to deal with. All the security parastatals are just misbehaving anyhow. You cannot defeat insurgency but you can arrest someone speaking for you. It’s just insane. #freejusticecrack
As an Arsenal fan there’s no need to celebrate yet as anything can still happen with three games remaining. I want no heart break at this point, I leave it until the end. #evertonvsmancity#arsenal
@yabaleftonline Marriage is not an enterprise, doesn't have to favor anyone. It's rather a dutiful institution ordained by God to preserve the human race, structure society and maintain sexual sanity. Whoever thinks they aren't fit for Marriage should step aside. Afterall, it's not compulsory.
My friend resumed from leave and met someone else sitting at her desk.
She earns ₦500,000 a month.
The HR department received her resignation letter via email during her short leave. They confirmed it and asked why one of their best was leaving.
The response came back: “I got a better offer.”
HR acknowledged the resignation.
Confused, she rushed to HR.
“Sir, have you replaced me?”
“You sent your resignation letter, and it was acknowledged.”
“No! I didn’t send anything.”
HR showed her a copy of the email.
At that moment, she knew it was her husband.
He had sent the email and deleted them.
She confronted him:
“Why did you do this to me?”
“I’ve warned you about how that job is affecting me. No time for good sèx, and you come home late every day. We’ll find something else for you to do. My salary was just increased to ₦150,000 we’ll manage.”
Two months later, he was sacked.
“Most of Nigerian politicians’ children are not Nigerians. They are citizens of other countries. They only see Nigeria as a looting ground. You are the one who is a Nigerian and you need to fight for your country”
Everything he said here is totally true.
