Let’s be clear and brutal.
Nobody is coming to save Nigeria. Not China. Not Russia. Not the US. Not the IMF. Not ECOWAS.
Venezuela is the lesson.
China watched and did nothing, because China doesn’t fight wars for people.
Russia shouted and issued statements, because statements don’t stop suffering.
If China is your ALLY, you have no military ally. If Russia is your PARTNER, you have no economic rescue.
So Nigerians that are waiting for foreign powers to fix Tinubu’s disaster are wasting time. The world does not do charity with power. They do interest.
Nigeria is not collapsing because of external enemies.
Nigeria is collapsing because we keep rewarding incompetence with votes.
No coup will save us.
No foreign intervention will save us.
No prayer point will replace civic responsibility.
Only Nigerian citizens can save Nigeria, democratically.
By organizing.
By voting.
By voting out incompetence, deceit, and ethnic blackmail.
Tinubu is not a curse from heaven.
He is a choice Nigerians made, and choices can be corrected.
If Venezuela teaches anything, it is this:
When leadership fails and citizens outsource responsibility, the country pays the price.
Nigeria’s future will not be negotiated in Beijing, Moscow, or Washington.
It will be decided at the ballot box.
Anything else is self-deception.
LET THAT SINK IN! 🤷
Mateus Mane scores for Wolves against West ham at 18 years old.
Ahead of the game he shared Philippians 4:6 "Worry about nothing, pray about everything."
Not a single word from Abel is recorded in Scripture. Cain murders him, and Cain has something to say. But the victim of violence? the recipient of hate? the righteous one? Not a syllable.
Cain has words, Abel none.
But Abel does speak in a different language. He utters crimson eloquence, red rhetoric so profound his speech pierces heaven's veil to lodge in the ears of God.
How so? The Lord says, "The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground" (Gen. 4:10).
You see what's happening?
1. Blood has a voice.
2. Blood cries out to God.
3. Blood is heard by heaven.
Far, far later, the author of Hebrews wrote about another crimson eloquence, about more red rhetoric. He says that the blood of Jesus "speaks better than the blood of Abel" (12:24).
Whatever Abel's blood said to God, Christ's blood said it better.
The voice of Jesus's blood, crying out from the ground beneath the cross, piercing the heavens, lodging in the ears of God, speaks one and only one message: "Father, forgive them."
That eloquent blood pronounces the absolution of the world, you included.
Believe it. It is for you.

About a year ago, I met Success Bala in the slums of Jakande begging for money by the roadside. Today he graduates from Majeurs furniture academy and begins his internship with one of the biggest furniture companies in Lagos.
The Dreams of the boy child must never be neglected.
Will I ever stop holding our Governments, Politicians and Public Officials to standards of Public Accountability?
The answer is Impossible and Can’t which together form the poetically licensed word:
*Impossicant.*
No amount of insults can ever make me stop demanding Accountability in our Democracy.
Here’s the thing.
Nigerians only finally got to see a physical version of the barrage of online insults and cyber-bullying that I get daily from hirelings of politicians and governments.
They want all of us to be quiet, endorse and enable their Bad Governance, Selfish Behaviors. Injustice and Criminality.
Those who have been on social media since 2014 and followed activities on my handle would probably be surprised that anyone is shocked at the invectives thrown at me at that Senate Session.
The ally-internet-trolls of Politicians and the 3 administrations of @NigeriaGov that have governed between 2014 to date have actually called me worse things on here and elsewhere.
I hardly dignify insults because they really are like water on the back of a duck.
Eyes on the Ball.
Senator @NatashaAkpoti must be given a fair hearing by the @NGRSenate on her petition against the Senate President @Senator_Akpabio for Sexual Harassment.
All the shenanigans being thrown out to prevent this will fail. Senator Uduaghan has the legitimacy conferred on her by the Good People of Kogi Central.
No fraudulent recall will prevail over the will of the people who genuinely believe in her representation of their interests at the Senate. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
Never thought about this before:
I have always thought that Noah was safe inside the Ark because he built it according to God's specifications. I thought that perhaps it was the strength of the gopher wood and the soundness of the architecture that ensured that the waters of the flood would not come into the Ark.
But today I encountered a verse that shifted this whole paradigm. Let's read what Gen 7:16 says ... "The animals going in were male and female of every living thing as God had commanded Noah... THEN GOD SHUT HIM IN....
Don't miss this.... even after Noah had built the Ark, it was God Himself who shut him in, in order to shut out the waters of the flood... In other translations this verse says "The Lord sealed them inside."
It is not the fact that you have locked your house that keeps you safe at night, it is not your good driving skills that keeps you safe on the road, neither it's your healthy eating habits that keeps you healthy - only God can shut you in and shut out the devil that is seeking to devour you.
Only God can do so much for us.☝️
Without Him, we are nothing.

If not for Nigeria politics constantly putting thugs in political seats, this Upper Iweka bus conductor cannot sit at a table with Aunty Oby Ezekwesili anywhere in the global world.
GEJ was so much under pressure from the Obama government that he has no choice but to concede defeat for peace to reign.
A lot of conspiracies and damage been done by America to other countries is out of count.
Stop funding insurgents and leave Africa alone.
Follow @RazakMakinde to continue supporting us.🙏
@BarackObama@MichelleObama FYI they denied him Visa after this interview.
America is an Evil state and are directly or indirectly responsible for 90% of the civil conflict going on in every country.
I like the way this guy analyzed this whole thing. Actually, Nigeria was close to being a trillion-dollar economy & that's the only crime we committed. WHY WAS OB@MA THIS HEARTLESS?
