I’m currently live at the NDC Headquarters participating in the final aspirants’ screening ahead of the primary elections.
The momentum is strong, the vision is clear, and the odds are in our favour.
A new era of purposeful, energetic, and people-driven leadership is emerging for Etsako Federal Constituency.

All my life, I've only written exams in two languages - English and Yoruba.
I have just stepped out of an exam hall where I had to write it's entirety in Italian.
Pass rate for Indigenous Italians is 58%.
8 out of 10 immigrants fail.
I wrote on first trial and made 100%.
I picked the @NigeriaNDCHQ Expression of Interest Form to run for a seat in the House of Representatives to represent the Oron, Mbo, Okobo, Udung-Uko & Urue Offong/Oruko Federal Constituency in 2027.
I’ll deploy evidence-based lawmaking that unlocks prosperity in Öro.

So people have been making private contribution towards @_belikebaddy surgery. As at today, we needed N1.4m to wrap it up and @chriscxss decided to seal it. Thank you Bro for always coming through 🙏🏾
The fund raising for the surgery is officially closed as the money is now complete. Thank you all for your kindnesses 🙏🏾
Safe trip to Egypt and safe surgery @_belikebaddy 🙏🏾
Serah Ibrahim & Jack are top tier political assets in any room they may find themselves. You can dislike or disagree with them all you want, but if na capacity, E choke!
idk how to stress this well enough but a truckload of people i come across do not have their PERM. VOTERS CARD and they all have one common excuse - “what difference would it make if i go ahead and get it?”
A lottt of people aren’t even trying to vote and I’m puzzled because how will you change things if you are not participating in the process and actively enforcing it????
PVC registration has re-opened and i beg you to start your registration and actually see it through.

I had a very productive and inspiring meeting with the National Leader of the NDC.
Our discussions were frank, constructive and aligned around a shared purpose, that will lead to a better Lagos, and a better Nigeria founded on competence, inclusion, accountability and service to the people.
I left even more convinced that meaningful progress is possible when leaders unite around principles, purpose, and the public good.

Today, I officially picked up my Expression of Interest Form to contest for the House of Representatives under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
For too long, our people have waited for leadership that listens, leadership that works, and leadership that truly understands the struggles of the grassroots.
This journey is for all of us.
And by the grace of God, with the support of the people, history will be made and…

Most people think DevOps is mainly about tools.
Kubernetes.
Terraform.
Docker.
Jenkins.
But the real skill is troubleshooting under pressure.
When production breaks, nobody cares how many tools you know.
They care if you can:
Stay calm
Think clearly
Communicate fast
Find the real issue
Restore services quickly
That’s the side of SRE/DevOps most courses never teach properly.
Every production incident changes how you think as an engineer.
What’s the hardest outage or infrastructure issue you’ve handled?
One thing software engineering teaches you over time:
Technical knowledge matters, but clear thinking under pressure matters just as much.
When systems fail in production, engineers suddenly need to:
Debug fast
Communicate clearly
Avoid making things worse
Restore stability quickly
That pressure changes how you approach engineering permanently.
What production issue taught you the biggest lesson?
The next couple of days will define the future of this nation. This deeper understanding is why I resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as I follow the leadership of, HE Peter Obi, who today embodies the hope and aspiration of a Nigeria that works.
When I give my word, I keep it. My decision to support HE Peter Obi first led me to the ADC. To continue to honour the promise I am joining the NDC.
This time I am joining the NDC not just as a member but as one running for the FCT Senatorial seat.
I have tidied up all my obligations to the ADC, ensuring a clean transition. I was fortunate to work with great and amazing people whose goal was a better country. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as sub‑committee chair, deputy committee chair, and secretary at various levels.
The experience has been invaluable, and I thank everyone for their support and cooperation.

Yours In Service

I grew up in Anambra State, and I saw this up close. One of my classmates’ fathers served as a Commissioner under Peter Obi.
Let me make it very clear:
Peter Obi didn’t build his cabinet around career politicians. He deliberately brought in professionals from different fields, people who already had established careers before government.
My classmate’s dad is a senior lawyer with law chambers in Anambra, Abia, and now Lagos. After serving in government, he simply returned to legal practice. No drama, no clinging to power.
His Chief of Staff, who later became Commissioner for Information, was a professor and lecturer. When the administration ended, she went straight back to academia.
That was the pattern.
These were people who had something to return to, so they weren’t in office to survive. they were there to serve.
Compare that to the usual system dominated by career politicians, where public office becomes a permanent livelihood, and you’ll understand the difference immediately.
It’s really not complicated:
When you appoint professionals, they serve and go back to their lives. When you appoint career politicians, they stay and turn governance into a career.
Fellow Nigerians,
As we look ahead to 2027, we stand at a defining moment in our nation’s history. The choices we make will shape not just the next four years, but the future of generations yet unborn. Getting it right is no longer optional, it is necessary.
For too long, we have endured cycles of hope followed by disappointment. We have seen the consequences of poor leadership, weak institutions, and decisions driven by short-term interests instead of long-term vision. But 2027 offers us another opportunity, a chance to break that cycle.
Getting it right begins with responsibility. It is not only about those who seek office, but also about us, the citizens. We must demand accountability, reject empty promises, and prioritize competence, integrity, and vision over sentiment, tribe, or religion.
Nigeria is rich in talent, resources, and potential. Yet, without the right leadership and active citizen participation, these advantages remain underutilized. We must choose leaders who understand the weight of governance and are prepared to serve, not rule.
Equally important, we must stay engaged beyond election day. Democracy is not a one-day event; it is a continuous process that requires vigilance and participation.
If we get it right in 2027, we can set Nigeria on a path of stability, growth, and prosperity. If we fail, we risk deepening the challenges we already face.
The future is in our hands. Let us choose wisely.
Thank you.
Let’s talk about System Design Interview Preparation.
But first, a short story.
This thread is purely educational, so kindly repost and bookmark for reference later before continuing.
Now let’s read carefully.
This is the Part 1 of a series I am doing on Kelvin Ayebaefie Emmanuel. A rather interesting figure with a well-documented track record of misrepresentation, intimidation, and obtaining money under false pretense.
What’s particularly troubling is the role media companies like @ARISEtv and @channelstv continues to play in amplifying his voice. Repeatedly platforming him on key issues and, in the process, lending him a sense of credibility he arguably hasn’t earned making it easy for him to scheme his next set of victims.
The goal of this series is simple: to put the information out there, in one place, so people can make informed decisions and avoid becoming victims of whatever comes next.
Happy reading!

Good morning everyone,
I’m kicking off a 90-day learning sprint where we’ll be building real projects, collaborating, and growing together as engineers.
You won’t be restricted to a single tech stack. You’ll be grouped with others based on your preferred programming language so you can build with what you’re comfortable with.
Once groups are formed, each person should create a GitHub repository that will be used throughout the 90 days.
The goal is to work in teams of 10. This isn’t just about coding, it’s about learning how to actually work in a team. Each group will have clear monthly targets, and you’ll collaborate, build, and consistently push your progress to your repository.
For the first month, we’ll focus on building a solid authentication system. The aim is to implement a proper, real-world authentication flow. I’ll share a reference we’ll follow, and add more where necessary.
If you haven’t joined the WhatsApp group yet, check the comment section and ask any of my mutuals for the link.
Let’s get to work.
Good morning all,
This week is going to be a blessed and amazing one for me, my mutuals, and anyone who ends up joining my community this evening.
The 90-day sprint will officially start on Wednesday, but we will use today and tomorrow to get the total number of people joining the community and place you all in groups, since you will be working in groups for proper accountability.
We are here to learn, to build, and to serve the community.
And I pray we achieve that over the 90 days.
Just do well to join the community today.
And one more thing, do well to repost so others can benefit from it too.
