※I’ll delete this overnight, but I wanted everyone to see it for a little while.

I was looking back at old photos, and I found some photos from when I did a solo wedding shoot.

When I found out that my mother didn’t have much time left, I remembered that she had said she wanted to see me as a bride, so I hurriedly went to have them taken.

Looking back at them now, I think they were taken so beautifully. And remembering those memories made me cry a little.

I remembered how happy my mother looked when she saw these photos.

They weren’t photos from a real wedding, but she told me she was happy she got to see me in a wedding dress. I was really happy that my mother was happy too.

There’s no punchline to this story. I just thought about it, missed my mother a little, and cried.

I hope that someday, I’ll get to wear a wedding dress in the real sense. Just kidding.

Thank you for reading this far. I’ll delete this post when I wake up.

'Dr. STONE' artist Boichi:

"Pirated manga readers are not our opponents. They are our future audience. They are proof that demand already exists."

Boichi says many manga fans around the world still lack access to legal manga because some countries have no publishing infrastructure, translation systems, or distribution networks

"Telling manga fans in those countries, 'You should buy manga,' is meaningless if there is no actual way for them to buy it."

He argues that affordable digital manga services are key to expanding the industry globally and creating opportunities for future creators

Reflecting on the Prison Exchange with Ethiopia

The news of the conclusion of the prisoners exchange between Nigeria and Ethiopia is refreshing.

Every life is precious, and ensuring the constitutional right to human dignity for all Nigerians - regardless of where they are or the circumstances they find themselves in - must remain a cornerstone of our national foreign policy.

I must therefore appreciate the efforts of our Foreign Affairs Minister, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and their Ethiopian counterparts for finally concluding these protracted negotiations.

However, we must reflect deeply on this development. It is heartbreaking to learn that at least four Nigerian citizens lost their lives in custody while this diplomatic and administrative process dragged on over the past few years. My heart goes out to their families, who had to endure the ultimate pain of losing loved ones in a foreign land.

While we commend this humanitarian intervention, it serves as a reminder of a larger systemic crisis. The overwhelming majority of these citizens are young Nigerians. A significant number were arrested while transiting through Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport in search of green pastures. While we must continuously urge our citizens to remain law-abiding and respect the laws of host nations wherever they travel or reside, we must also ask ourselves a hard question: What drives our young and productive population into desperate circumstances across the globe?

Until we build a New Nigeria that offers genuine economic opportunities, a functional educational framework, and an environment where hard work is rewarded, we will continue to grapple with the tragic consequences of mass emigration and its associated vulnerabilities.

As these citizens are brought home to serve out their terms, our correctional facilities must be properly managed with a focus on genuine rehabilitation and societal reintegration. Let us use this moment not just for short-term relief, but as an urgent call to build a nation that protects, values, and empowers its citizens here at home.

With the right policies and leadership, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

A dad says Valve has “a customer for life” after the company sent him a free replacement Steam Deck case.

He reached out to Steam Support after his baby threw up on the original case and asked if he could buy a new one.
Instead, Valve told him they had already ordered a replacement and would send it free of charge.

“Valve has a customer for life. I reached out asking if I could buy a replacement case after my newborn got sick all over mine, and they just sent one for free.”

“I know it’s a small thing, but this kind of customer service means a lot.”

Train hard. Prepare for the worst. Fight with everything you have.

Then surrender the outcome to God.

That is the only way to live without fear.

The Commendable Act of Nigerian Artists at the World Cup

Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, as I previously stated, stems not from a lack of talent but from a conspicuous deficiency in political leadership that has failed to create an enabling environment for talent development.

This assertion is underscored by two notable occurrences during the tournament: the vibrant participation and impressive performances of Nigerian artists, and the presence of numerous Nigerians representing other nations on the field. These observations present a significant imperative for Nigeria’s political leaders to actively foster an environment in which the nation’s youth can fully realize their potential.

Furthermore, Davido’s impactful gesture in drawing global attention to Nigeria’s security challenges warrants commendation. He prominently displayed the names of schoolchildren who had been held captive for an extended period, advocating for their safe return. By utilizing his international platform, Davido effectively highlighted Nigeria’s security crisis, transcending mere entertainment. He appeared in a custom black leather jacket emblazoned with the message “BRING THEM HOME,” accented with green buttons bearing the names of 39 schoolchildren and 7 teachers recently abducted by bandits in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The pervasive insecurity in Nigeria merits international scrutiny, particularly given the government’s apparent inability to effectively address the situation. Nevertheless, the prospect of a revitalized Nigeria remains achievable. -PO
