Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I voted for Peter Obi in the last election after they counted the total votes casted in my ward and Obi won, I went back to my hotel.
I regretted that action, never again
So this election, after casting my vote and counting it in my ward, I will be following the inec returning officer to AMAC and making sure Obi wins there too, if possible I will park at ICC gate and make sure Peter Obi is declared the winner before driving back to my hotel this time around.
If the mandate is stolen again, this time around I will start protest from there straight to the National Assembly.
@rarejessica1 The struggle...
One thing is for sure: This too shall pass.. been there before..
It's not going to get easier.. but you're going to win.
You got this!
@rarejessica1 That determination.. That drive... that's literally what makes all the difference between someone who stops halfway and another who is making progress like you are.
Well done!
Tomorrow, Artemis II begins its return to Earth, re-entering the atmosphere at nearly 25,000 mph.
That’s about 17× faster than a bullet. Temperatures will soar to around 5,000°F.
For roughly 4 minutes, there will be complete blackout, no communication, no signals.
Just the crew, the heat, and the most intense phase of the mission.
Our hearts and prayers are with them.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Tunde got a backend role at a fintech in Lagos.
6 months later, their system crashed during Black Friday. 50,000 transactions lost.
The CTO asked one question: “who built this?”
Everything Tunde didn’t learn cost the company millions. Don’t be Tunde.
Here’s the full backend engineer roadmap
@TechnicalBben@Aikidotcom I can't begin to tell how inspired I feel reading this. I just finished from Mechanical Engineering as well, and I'm honestly still trying to find my feet and figure out things in tech and life.
I feel greatly motivated.
Thank you for sharing this, Sir Ben.
Growth is inevitable
Most people overestimate the importance of a degree and underestimate the importance of having a valuable skill set in this day and age.
You can always build big things, even from a small place.
Excellence doesn't come from your degree. It stems from the mind.
Thank you, Ben❤️
I graduated with a 2:2.
Two years ago, I stopped overthinking and got to work. No mentor, no connections. Just broke and hungry. I taught myself, got into tech, and made over $15k in my first year.
Today, I’m building a startup, @Aikidotcom,with over 1000+ on the wait-list, helping Africans like me earn so much money for free, no matter where they start from.
And here’s the part people don’t expect. I’ve earned scholarships and secured admissions to study abroad multiple times.
That result you’re ashamed of? It doesn’t define you. What you do after it does.
