For those of you who studied Engineering at Unilorin between 2015 to 2020, you will definitely know Prof. Mrs. Eleta and her legendary course: Thermodynamics. (I am not sure if she still takes the course till now).
We did our first test, and I scored 13/15. I was actually among the top three in the faculty. It was a big flex to see my name at the top. Back then, I was using Thermodynamics Demystified, and that result made me so sure of myself. I thought I had mastered the course completely.
So, when the mid-term came, I was just flexing, doing the "scholar" walk. Lo and behold, the test came out so hard, it wasn’t smiling at all. I panicked after the exam, and regrettably, the score confirmed my panic. I had 4/20. This was after using 4 extra sheets!
That day was the first time I cried for a result. I remember crying in my aunt’s car on the way home. My friend, who was hailing me during the first test, kept saying, "I know they didn’t score you well, you should go and complain😅." But deep down, I knew the truth. I had messed up.
The first thing I did when I got home was cry some more. I soaked my bedsheets with tears from my eyes, and honestly, I cried myself to sleep. It was during that sleep that the inspiration came. I made peace with the fact that I didn't know this course as much as I claimed to. I needed to fix the gap immediately.
I went out and bought a new higher education notebook, and I downloaded the Thermodynamics textbook by Gupta on my tablet with the aim of reading it from the very beginning. Mind you, this was just three weeks to the exam.
I made a plan to read Thermodynamics for at least 5 hours a day. Every morning when I woke up, before even going to the mosque, I made sure to prove all the formulae and concepts I had learnt the day before.
I remember breaking my own reading record; I read for 24 hours straight on a marathon at LT1. I recall a lady who noticed that I had spent so many hours reading there, and she was forced to ask me which department I was in. After I told her, she said to me: "WHATEVER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, GOD WILL GRANT YOU."
By the time the exam started, I had become gallant. I went into the exam hall ready to revenge, yet afraid not to fuck up again. Despite the intensity and my wahala, guess what I scored? 71. I can still see how I jubilated at the school stadium when the result came out.
I can’t forget that experience. Unilorin was brutal in those times. We thank God for growth and blessings.
NB: I have shared this story before on the TL.
Two years ago, a former colleague of mine who had relocated to Canada came to Nigeria and while chatting with colleagues still working in the company asked about me.
"Suraj is now doing real estate full time", she was told.
Few weeks later, she contacted me: "Suraj, I heard you are now doing real estate. Can you reconstruct our family house in Lekki?"
After series of meetings and negotiation with her family, agreement reached: we will demolish the old bungalow and shops, finance and construct units of flats in a three floor building on the land and we share the units of flats built in an agreed ratio.
The rest is history.
Sometimes, business opportunities come from random interactions.
PS: The land was bought for N2,000 in 1976. Now worth up to N200m.
I met Ahmed Musa at Clock Tower Hotel during Ramadan 2025 Umrah. After a quick handshake, he waited to see if I wanted a selfie despite his friends leaving him behind.
Ahmed Musa is an amazing soul. Never heard anyone talking bad about him except back then, when twitter women dragged him for taking another wife shortly after divorcing the first.

PETER OBI MUST APOLOGISE TO AIRPORT STAFF AND PAY THE FINE FOR WRONG PARKING
As the Minister of Aviation, I felt a moral duty to investigate and authenticate the claim made by opposition candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, a few days ago that the tyres of his car were ‘unjustly’ clamped at the airport, suggesting a ‘persecution agenda’ against him by the Federal Government. Politics aside, every Nigerian is entitled to fair treatment under the law.
I therefore instituted an internal inquiry over the issue.
Luckily enough, the entire Abuja airport is covered by CCTV cameras, real-time, 24/7. But apparently, this fact was unknown to Mr. Peter Obi. Otherwise, perhaps he would have been more circumspect before rushing to the media to cry ‘persecution’.
From the recordings, these are the facts:
1. On Saturday, July 4th, 2026, Mr. Obi arrived at the domestic wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja at exactly 20:28 pm, driven by a Policeman. He alighted with two other occupants and went into the terminal building.
2. The Police driver then parked the vehicle, almost blocking the entrance and came out himself and went into the terminal building too. The airport rule is that, apart from the fact that it is a drop-off zone, a driver must remain behind the wheels of the vehicle for it to be tolerated for some time within that zone. Still the vehicle tyres were not clamped.
3. The Policeman came back to the vehicle at about 20:32pm and collected something from the vehicle and went back into the building again, leaving the vehicle unattended to.
4. At this point, the dutiful airport security staff came over and clamped the tyres of the car. In doing this, contrary to the claims by Peter Obi, nobody was inside the car and so nobody knew whether it was his car (not that it should matter, anyway).
5. When the Policeman returned again and discovered the tyres were clamped, he was directed to an office and upon getting there, he called Mr. Peter Obi on his phone and gave the phone to the manager. Mr. Peter Obi then introduced himself and spoke with the manager, peddled his ‘influence’ and requested for the release of the vehicle. His vehicle was then released without him paying the necessary fine.
6. It is important to note that the time the vehicle was parked unattended to in that prohibited zone was about 30 minutes, which constitutes a security risk at an airport by global best practices.
What has emerged from this is a clear case of an opposition candidate trying to whip up unnecessary sentiments for a wrong he committed with his driver. The excuse which Mr. Peter Obi gave that there were other offenders too on that day (which is completely false) cannot be an excuse for an individual aspiring to be President of Nigeria. He must live above board.
This is a matter that was not even mentioned at all by the airport authorities and had been put to rest. But ever determined to milk any situation to score cheap political points, Mr. Peter Obi decided to go on air to render a false narrative.
Therefore, he must also face the consequences of his actions. (I have attached the CCTV footages to this statement for the public to clearly see what transpired.)
In the circumstances, consistent with the principle of equality before the law, as Minister of Aviation, I make the following demands on Mr. Peter Obi:
1. That he tenders an unreserved, public apology to those hardworking, ordinary Nigerian workers at the airport, just doing their jobs dutifully and whom he sought to blackmail as his ‘persecutors’.
2. That Mr. Peter Obi voluntarily goes back to the airport and pay the appropriate fine of N25,000 for wrongful parking at the airport for which he used ‘influence peddling’ to bully his way out on that day. He cannot be bigger than the law.
If these demands are not met within one week, I will be giving the necessary directives to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to take the next steps against him.
Your influencers - the myopic, mediocre personalities you all empowered on this platform - have since attempted to dilute the jubilatory atmosphere with their toxic portion of skepticism and pessimism. They act like the proverbial bird that dances in the mud because it cannot fly in the clear sky.
"The children look well-fed."
"How are we sure these are the same children?"
"Why did they resuce them in the evening when Spain was playing?"
"They must have paid ransom."
"Why are they laughing?"
The gravel-faced Dickson only fell short of saying he had a kidnapper friend who told him the children escaped and were not rescued.
Unfortunate cretins...
A proud moment. It's Zeenatullah's graduation 👨🎓 I remember how emotional I was dropping her off on her first day at School
All thanks to God. Congratulations Yetunde Aduni💖
Attention my northerners, brothers and sisters: why are your leaders are so heartless with all the opportunities you people have? Why are you treating your people like nothing? You people are oppressors; you want the poor to remain poor while your children are doing well. Haji @atiku, what have you done for your people? You built a university that the average northerner cannot attend. You were vice president for 8 years; what development did you bring back to the north? Absolutely nothing.
My northerners, brothers and sisters: your leaders are your enemies, President @officialABAT. He can help you; give him your support. He will educate and ensure all northerners are treated equally.
"Since 2023, I have seen this president push out five bills that, to a large extent, are transitioning Nigeria toward a more truly federal system by devolving powers to the states. In three years, the president has achieved what we could not in the previous 27 years of the Fourth Republic." — Political Scientist, Obafemi George
@PeterObi have you heard that FG not Tinubu and our gallant security services personnel have rescued schools and teachers from Orire LGA.
2: o ya call @seyimakinde to confirm.
3: we even arrested 8 kidnappers.
4; o ya find another thing to tweet
