I just received the sad news of the train derailment along the Warri–Itakpe rail corridor in Delta State.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the families who lost their loved ones in this unfortunate mishap, and I pray for the quick recovery of those injured.
I urge the relevant authorities to investigate the immediate and remote causes of this derailment swiftly, ensure full accountability, and implement measures to restore public confidence in our rail systems. -PO
@nextdoorpod_ Repeat the statement "If ue can't afford it then dont read it." to urself and hear how twisted and elitist tht sounds esp. when ue come from a country where there's limited access to books and libraries.
Re ue writing for money or because you have something to say?
Anyway, I have multiple free libraries on my page. Everybody deserves books. Everybody deserves access to literature. Everybody deserves the ability to increase their literacy.
folks deserve to read regardless of money. Here’s a library enjoy 😉

Ever since I successfully handled the divorce of a family member, my grandma has not spoken to me for 2 weeks.
Make una help me tell this woman say na my work.
The devil did not use me.
Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5.
I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma.
That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury
Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly.
I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while.
We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.

During my IT I went to stay with my Uncle and his family.
The wife was a Banker.
One night I heard him telling the wife that the Canada process is taking so much from him
Mentally and financially.
She said she got the house.
He should just focus on other stuff
After that night,we started eating good 😊
Not like we weren’t eating good,but she made sure he knew that she meant it when she said she got the house.
They are all in Canada now.
I’ll never understand the concept of not letting your wife work.
Makes no sense to me.
Yesterday was my boyfriend's birthday. He posted his picture on his WhatsApp status with a happy birthday caption.
Guess what happened after🤔 more than 5 girls texted him to send them 'birthday money'.
It is his own birthday, but he should be the one to press money 🤦🏽♀️ none of them asked why he hasn't been online. One even had the audacity to call and asked if she should send her account details. I didn't know when I took the phone from him and spoke words into her head.
The shamelessness in some girls these days is becoming overbearing.
Men are so private online. A guy could be moving to another country or having his first child, and he’d still only post a random football score on his story.
You're squatting with me. I went to work and returned tired and exhausted, only to receive a text from you saying that your boyfriend is around and that I shouldn't come home yet. Is it my apartment or your boyfriend's apartment?
Breaking News: First Lady Of Nigeria Remi Tinubu distributes Luxury Cars to APC women leaders ahead of Presidents Tinubu’s upcoming Re-election to advance his Renewed Hope Agenda, this is Happening all while Nigerians are Protesting against Kidnapping & Insecurity in the Country
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

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity
I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.
I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.
It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.
To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.
No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.
I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO
