They call it a “free market” until you trade outside the dollar, nationalize your resources, or elect a leader Washington doesn’t approve of. Then come the sanctions. Then come the coups. Then comes war. Suddenly, “free market” means following Washington’s rules.
I believe Nigeria should seriously consider restoring fuel subsidy in a way that brings petrol back to around ₦100 per litre or as close as fiscally possible.
If a policy leaves millions of families unable to afford food, transport, healthcare, or keep their businesses alive, then it’s time to re-examine it.
Economic models mean little to a parent who can’t feed their children or a business owner shutting down because operating costs have become unbearable.
Policies should be judged not only by theory, but by how people actually live.
Leadership must be courageous enough to admit when a policy is causing widespread suffering and be willing to change course.
Becoming a cardinal is not a common chore.
You must study hard, and be ready to defend the faith, the church and humanity.
Some people drank tea with God and still cannot correct Tinubu.
After a certain age,
your parents slowly become your children.
They ask same questions again.
They repeat stories you've heard a thousand times.
They forget little things.
Their steps become slower.
Their world becomes smaller.
And without realizing it...
The people who once carried you through life begin depending on you.
Very few people recognize this role reversal.
What feels like an inconvenience is often just time reminding us that nothing lasts forever.
Don't rush them.
Don't correct them harshly.
Don't make them feel like a burden.
One day, their voice will be silent.
The questions will stop.
The stories will never be told again.
And you'll wish for just one more interruption...
One more repeated story...
One day, you'll give anything to hear those same stories again.
One more chance to hear them call your name.
Growing old is a privilege not everyone receives.
Care for them the way they once cared for you
It’s repayment.
It's the final way we say...
Thank you for spending your life loving me .
WIZKID got more fans when he converted this beat to gold. Remember, no one actually knew what to do with the beat until he got to SARZ’s studio.

This little girl is not in the video. She wasn't even born. But she is moved to tears watching her mother and father get married. Why?
Marriage researcher and family therapist Pat Fagan once told me:
"When a child sees their mother loving their father they feel like their mother is loving them. When they see their father loving their mother they feel like their father is loving them. It is the only time in the human experience where you can be loved indirectly. No one's even looking at you or touching you or talking to you, but you feel loved."
That is not the case with a step parent, he said. The child may tolerate the romantic expression. But they do not experience that same circuitous love. More often they feel competition or jealousy.
If every child could order their own world, this is what they would say:
"I want my mom and dad to love me and I want my mom and dad to love each other."
Sometimes that's not possible. Woe to a culture that intentionally denies that to children in the name of adult freedom.
If you receive government assistance you shouldn’t be allowed to vote until you are self sufficient. You don’t get to tell me how to run my house if you don’t pay the bills.
God will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you to build you. Then God will give you back everything far beyond what you lost to prove to you God is real and that everything is for a reason. Keep your trust in God.
The unvaccinated were the most hated people on Earth. They lost their jobs. Friends and families disowned them. They were reported and arrested. Society treated them like lepers…and 7 years later…it turns out that they were right about everything…
when I was doing my BSc in political science, I used to glaze over revolution as the only solution to Nigeria’s problems.
but after my several touch-points with reality, I have come to a higher realization that in our bid to sail towards a place of Eldorado, if we by chance toe the line of revolution, people like you and I would first be killed by this kind of people. if that happens, we have lost the revolution. it will just swiftly turn to a looting exercise with no direction.
"You can't slåught€r members of my family and expect me to pray for you. I will pray against you and your household. The government is pretending like they don't know what to do. I have been quiet for a long time, but the bubble is about to burst."

Amaju Pinnick is just a reflection of our value system as a people. Money, Money, Money. It is not as if he has any progressive thought in that head of his. The NFF under him was an embarrassment.
For the life of me, I can never understand how we never get sensible people into office.
