Does 9mobile still exist as a network in Nigeria? I don't see any adverts from them and I don't see anybody using the network too.
What happened to them?
I fi(na)lly understand leg day now. I be(lie)ve I’ve reached a new level of discipline.
This is growth. I fi(na)lly get it, I have now embo(die)d true strength. (I) will (de)finitel(y) keep pushing
Despite the fact that we all wanted INEOS and this sporting administration to go for a left-back, they deemed it not fit to do so this summer.
And the player who benefits the most from it all is Harry Amass.
Harry Amass has been a fringe player all along, and getting a new left-back would have meant he probably had to leave the club. But they failed to get one, meaning he’s staying.
And him staying means this season is going to be a defining one for him.
It’s now left for him to take the opportunity as it comes. He has to show that he can step into that role when needed, because definitely, he will be needed.
We cannot depend on Luke Shaw across a 60-game season. In games where Shaw doesn't play, we’ll need Amass to step up, with other options like Patrick Dorgu potentially covering the position depending on the situation.
Regardless, this is Amass’ breaking season.
He has to take the opportunity. He has to show that he’s capable, Otherwise, I believe this could be the end of his stay at Manchester United if he fails to take the opportunity when it comes.
Regardless, I wish him the very best. I genuinely hope he can fill that gap whenever we need him.
SENATOR KWANKWASO VISITS THE OBIDIENT HEADQUARTERS
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting my dear elder brother and our vice presidential candidate, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, alongside the gubernatorial, senatorial, and other candidates of our great party, the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), from various states across the country, at the Obidient Headquarters in Abuja.
Our discussions focused primarily on strategies to expand and deepen the reach of our party and take our message of national redemption to rural communities and the hinterlands.
I reassured our candidates of my continued support in their respective states and constituencies. I also reaffirmed my commitment to working with them and undertaking the necessary groundwork to secure victory for our party.
My partnership with His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa @KwankwasoRM is a partnership to rescue Nigeria from the calamitous and ineffective leadership that has brought our country to its present condition.
Our commitment is to commence lifting vulnerable Nigerians out of poverty, reduce the number of out-of-school children, support small and medium-sized businesses, secure our nation, unite our people, and move Nigeria from consumption to production.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO

Do you squat when you pee?
I was listening to the Deceased Podcast, and this woman was talking about how men should pee.
She advised men to sit or squat when peeing, claiming that standing puts more stress on the body.
She also claimed that men in Northern Nigeria rarely have prostate cancer because they squat to pee, and that men should wash after urinating to help prevent recurrent infections in their partners.
Your network provider probably knows more about your online activity than you think.
They can have records about the websites and services you use, your numbers, devices, IP address and approximate location.
Whether you're running a business, working from home, committing fraud or just browsing online, some of your activity passes through their network.
They don't necessarily care what you're doing. Their job is to provide the network service you paid for.
So you see, not everything you do online is completely hidden.
They may not be actively watching you, but records can exist and, in serious cases, may be accessed through lawful requests.
Just so you know.
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.

PRESIDENT TINUBU GOES ON HOLIDAY AGAIN
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again left Nigeria for another holiday, this time beginning a three-week vacation in Europe.
Nigeria is in deep crisis. Nigerians can barely afford food and transportation. Insecurity is ravaging communities, and thousands of children are unable to access education because of insecurity.
Just days ago, about 600 Nigerians, predominantly women, children, and the elderly, were reportedly abducted during Juma’at prayers in Niger State.
Yet, at this critical moment, the President has left the country for another holiday.
According to reports, government expenditure on presidential trips and related travel expenses between June 2023 and April 2026 amounted to about ₦37.64 billion, with the President spending approximately 261 days outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile, only ₦36 million was reportedly released to the Federal Ministry of Health in 2025, despite a capital allocation of ₦218 billion, in a country of over 230 million people.
This is the calamity befalling our country today.
A government that can spend tens of billions on presidential travel while critical sectors remain starved of funds, and Nigerians are asked to endure worsening hardship, must not be allowed to continue.
Leadership is about priorities.
When citizens cannot feed their families, move safely, access healthcare, send their children to school, or sleep peacefully in their homes, the President should be more concerned about fixing the country than repeatedly leaving it.
I look forward to a Nigeria where our President can vacation in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Cross River State, Bauchi, Ebonyi, and many other destinations across our country.
The President of Nigeria should be the chief marketer of Nigeria as a tourism destination, as other comparable countries do.
Imagine the economic possibilities if our leaders, celebrities, business communities, and citizens travelled within Nigeria more frequently.
Tourism creates jobs. It supports hospitality, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, crafts, and small businesses. It brings investment and foreign exchange and allows communities to benefit directly from their natural and cultural assets.
We cannot continue to export our wealth and import our pleasures while our own enormous potential remains neglected.
We deserve leadership that puts Nigeria first; leadership that cares and plans for a better Nigeria. That is the kind of leadership that the partnership between H.E. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and me will bring.
