I would like to gift my Chess Board to Mr. Peter Obi @PeterObi
I bought this Chess Board in 2020 while I was in Port Harcourt.
I have taught no fewer than 20 different people how to play chess using this board, including 5 fellow Corps members last year.
It is completely free, not ₦1 million.

Oyo State is actually the Strait of Hormuz of Nigeria.
Kogi State borders many states, yet no one calls it strategically vital.
The real Strait of Hormuz isn’t important because it borders many countries. It’s important because of the massive volume of oil, cargo, and large vessels that pass through it daily.
Similarly, Lagos is Nigeria’s economic heartbeat. Almost every major commodity heading to Lagos from other parts of the country must pass through Ibadan in Oyo State.
That makes Oyo State far more strategically important than many people realize.
X is actually full of people who are very shy to face the camera and make videos.
If that was what the majority here truly enjoyed, we wouldn't be on Twitter/X in the first place.
It later turned out the new vendor delivered far better quality jerseys than the earlier ones supplied by Abazz.
Your favourite Twitter influencers quickly moved to change the narrative to defend their friend, claiming that ₦20k cannot buy a quality jersey.
I really appreciate business owners who have integrity and always maintain high standards in their products.
The truth is simple: if you run your business with integrity and consistent quality, there is almost no way you won’t succeed in the long run.
It's best to advise your younger ones not to even consider going to a polytechnic. The discrimination is just too much.
At first, you have this hope that you’ll easily cross over to a university after your OND. But that’s a complete facade. It’s extremely competitive, and only a few people actually get admitted especially into top schools like UI, UNILAG, and OAU.
That one year of waiting to retake UTME is far better than going through all that stress.
I think paying for the Blue Tick goes beyond just seeking monetization or approval.
Being able to freely share your thoughts and beliefs is deeply satisfying and truly joyful.
There’s nothing comparable to expressing what you truly believe in and what you stand for.
HOW IRAN SHOULD END THE WAR - A DEAL TEHRAN COULD TAKE
Earlier today, the Islamic Republic of Iran rejected the ceasefire proposal by the United States Government. Not to forget that Iran did not actually start this war. It has been more than a month since American and Israeli forces have incessantly attacked Iranian territory, killing thousands of people and damaging hundreds of buildings, all in the hope of toppling the country’s government. Yet Iran has held the line and successfully defended its interests. While the Americans and Israelis, in their delusions of forcing capitulation, have found themselves in a quagmire without a feasible exit strategy. The Iranians, by contrast, have pulled off a historic feat of resistance.
While to some Iranians this success is a reason to continue fighting until the aggressors are severely punished rather than to search for a negotiated ending, continuing to fight the USA might be psychologically satisfying, but it will only lead to more destruction of civilian lives and infrastructure.
Tehran, then, should use its upper hand not to prolong the fight but to make a deal that both ends the conflict and prevents the next one.
1. It should offer to place limits on its nuclear program in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a deal the United States would not take before but should be ready to accept now.
2. Iran should also be prepared to offer a non-aggression pact with the United States in which both countries pledge not to strike each other in the future.
3. It could also offer economic terms with the United States which could be a win-win situation for the American and Iranian people. All these outcomes would allow Iran to protect itself from foreign adversaries and focus more on improving the lives of its people domestically.
This is not a call for surrender but rather a call for strategic wisdom. Iran has already proved its strength on the battlefield. Now is the time to turn that strength into a lasting victory that secures the future of its people rather than risking everything in a prolonged war with no clear end.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran just "opened" the Strait of Hormuz. But read the fine print.
Ships carrying essential goods and humanitarian supplies can now pass through... to Iranian ports.
Under IRGC-approved protocols, with cargo lists, crew manifests, and destinations submitted in advance.
Iran shut the strait to pressure the West, then selectively reopened it for allies: China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Philippines, country by country, deal by deal.
Today's announcement is the next layer: inbound humanitarian cargo for Iran itself.
2,000 vessels are still stranded, oil is still above $100. Israel-linked ships are still being targeted, Iran hit one with a drone in the strait this morning, same day as this announcement.
Iran is managing the strait like a sovereign economic weapon. It's not open. It's on Iran's terms, for Iran's benefit, on Iran's timeline.
