Debt is the new slavery. Financial institutions discourage loans for wealth creation but aggressively promote debt for consumption. One leads to independence. The other keeps you trapped. Guess which one they prefer.
A nation busy killing itself from within has no moral energy left to care about others. If you think America prioritizes the wellbeing of other nations, think again.
Personally, I don’t believe AKY betrayed RMK. The world has ears, and he may have picked up on some quiet moves aimed at stopping him from going for a second term. To me, it looks like he’s simply testing the waters, trying to see which side runs deeper.
There is no disease more destructive than human greed. Killings, injustice, and the total disregard for humanity—all fueled by the selfish ambitions of a few. What a tragic world we are living in.
Those who believe they are plotting our downfall may, in reality, be vessels through which Allah elevates us to a higher status. What seems like hardship is often part of a divine plan unfolding in our favor. Always put your trust in Allah He is the best of planners. 🤲
As it is Friday, let us reflect on the lessons from Surah Yusuf (Joseph). Allah (SWT) reminds us so beautifully that when we place our trust in Him, we are never truly disappointed.

Let any politician who wants our votes first deliver on those demands. Failure to do so should be met with a clear and convincing response on election day. Politics is a game of scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. It’s time we learned how to play it.
Nigerians need to start speaking to politicians in the only language they truly understand: QUID PRO QUO.
Instead of blindly rallying behind parties or personalities, we should organize around clear interests and demands.
