You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
Extrajudicial Killing in Effurun
The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian Mr. Mene Ogidi, in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.
Such acts inflict unimaginable trauma on the bereaved family and deepen public anxiety in an already distressed society. Nigerians are already traumatised by recurring reports of brutal killings by terror organisations across the country, and incidents of this nature - especially when involving state actors - only worsen that psychological burden and erode public confidence in safety and security.
In light of this, while the law must take its full course, I commend the prompt response of the police authorities so far and express confidence that they will pursue this matter to its logical conclusion. Such responsiveness is necessary to reassure the public that justice will not be compromised. I therefore urge the police and all security agencies to sustain this approach by acting with transparency and accountability. Furthermore, recruitment processes must be more rigorous, ensuring that only individuals of sound judgment and the right frame of mind are entrusted with firearms.
In the final analysis, these measures can restore public trust and uphold justice - both of which are indispensable to building a new Nigeria that is possible. -PO
Spiritual warfare 101 - No matter how overwhelmed you “feel” inside, never show the devil. You see, the devil is NOT Omniscient, so he does not know all things. The things he knows about us are things said and spoken of us. Or the things we let out from our mouths ourselves or by our reactions and actions. So while you may be overwhelmed in your soul, the way he gets to know is from your reaction. And because he is a wicked and oppressive entity, when he knows where it hurts, he robs it in the more.
But responding in praise confounds him. This is exactly the rationale behind the idea that praise confuses the enemy. Because he can’t understand why his onslaught is not causing you to give up and give in.
So beloved saints of God, regardless how you feel right now, find a way to release your praise !
“14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.”
Psalm 71:14.
You are BLESSED 🙂
Prophesy ! Learn to speak faith filled words over your destiny. I have practiced this for years and by God’s grace, and every sense of humility and responsibility, seen those words become flesh before my eyes. So let’s start.
Say out loud
“A time will come when …….(fill in the gap)” and end with “IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN”
“If you are rich, you will enjoy Nigeria”.
This is one of the most fundamentally foolish things to ever say and believe in the history of foolish things in the world.
Today our very own world boxing champion Anthony Joshua had a ghastly motor crash that killed two people.
No ambulance.
No paramedics.
No first aid service.
No emergency response.
Just a confused crowd at an accident site.
Recently there was a fire outbreak in a building in Lagos with many people trapped in it.
For many hours,
No ambulance, no fire service,
No first aid service, no emergency response. Again, just another confused crowd outside the building while people burnt to death inside.
Terrible incidents like the terrible car accident that just happened to Anthony Joshua and the complete utter lack of a coordinated emergency response is another stark reminder of what a poor, backward and undeveloped country we are.
Two people died in that same car accident that Anthony Joshua was involved in. If AJ also needed emergency medical attention, he could have died. Quite simply so.
His money wouldn’t matter.
His fame wouldn’t matter.
His global renown wouldn’t matter.
He could have simply died today.
Today’s crash should be a cold brutal awakening to every one of us. Your money is absolutely meaningless in a failed country that has no working healthcare systems and no working institutions.
It does not matter if you are rich or poor. In many life threatening emergency medical situations, your money will end up being very useless. This is again a cold stark reminder to everyone who thinks that wealth is somehow always a sure shield against failed systems in a failed country.
AJ could have died today.
Just because he had an accident in a country that has zero first aid, zero emergency medical response, zero timely ambulance and zero paramedics when your life is hanging in the balance.
A country where human life has zero value.
SHAME ON KWARA STATE GOVERNMENT.
First of all, a warning:
If you have a soft heart,
Pls don’t watch this video.
This video will bring you tears.
Some women and young people went to protest at Kwara state Govt house about their husbands, children and family members being kidnapped by terrorists in some villages in Kwara State.
Rather than the govt speaking to them,
Rather than the police ensuring their right to peaceful protest and safety,
Right there in front of the government house, there was an unleashing of hired thugs who came out to beat these women silly and terrorise them. Right in front of the police who looked on and did nothing.
If you saw the start of the video:
These are poor helpless women who came to cry for help from a government they thought can sympathise and help them. Rather the government did nothing and hired thugs came with canes and whips to dehumanise these helpless people. They violated them and beat them black and blue till the women ran for their lives.
This is NOT a country. This is a jungle.
Please share this video and let the whole world see what the Kwara State Government did to helpless villagers who came to seek help for their family members that are victims of violent terrorism.
Pls lend your voice. Pls share this video.
This madness must not go unpunished.
SHAME ON KWARA STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Nigerian media does not want the world to see this so please 🙏🏿 kindly share this. Do not let these women suffer in vain.
My conscience cannot let me keep quiet.
This guy Dylan has 18million followers on TikTok. He is here analysing the situation of the road crash and the “help” that Anthony Joshua got afterwards.
My goodness, we are now a global disgrace. This is a shame.
I hope this crash causes us to reflect.
A good time to make this spread and trend again…….
Let’s go !
Jesus just has to be who He says He is. No one gives this joy that He gives.
We celebrate our king, JESUS !
I pray this goes viral 🙏🏾

BREAKING🚨: I just got off the phone with a colleague 💔💔💔
Today, a high‑profile security agency team was involved in a ghastly road traffic accident while on duty and in uniform. Multiple casualties.
One of them who was brought to the Accident and Emergency unit.
He had lost a massive amount of blood. He was in shock. He needed immediate, aggressive resuscitation.
And this is where everything fell apart.
A Hospital That Could Not Function
JOHESU is on strike.
No pharmacy services. No oxygen services. No blood bank. No attendants. No theatre services.
Nothing.
A force personnel. Someone who had risked his life for this country.
IV fluids had to be sourced from outside the hospital just to attempt resuscitation.
But he was bleeding massively. Internally. He needed urgent surgery. He needed blood.
The theatre was unavailable.
JOHESU is on strike.
The Cruel Irony
His blood group was unknown.
Imagine that. A force personnel on active duty, and his blood group is not documented.
Grouping and cross‑matching? Non‑existent.
Again, JOHESU is on strike.
By the time desperate arrangements were being considered, it was already too late.
He bled out.
He died.
What Exactly Works in Nigeria?
A life wasted.
A life lost.
Another number added to the statistics.
We argue policies. We argue strikes. We argue systems.
But people are dying. Real people.
Nigeria is not just struggling. Nigeria is failing.
Tax is not about money entering your account. Tax is about what that money actually is.
If you describe money wrongly, it may look like income, and you pay more tax.
If you describe it correctly, you only pay tax when required... and nothing extra.
Let me show you how you can use descriptions to minimise taxes legally
SIMPLE DESCRIPTIONS YOU CAN USE (LEGALLY)
1. Money that is NOT income (NO TAX)
Use these when the money is not payment for work or business.
SituationDescription to use:
1. When a Family member sends you money, they should write "Gift / Family support"
2. When a Friend pays you back your money, he or she should write:"Refund / Reimbursement"
3. When you move your own money to another account, write:"Personal transfer / Savings"
4. When someone lends you money, he or she should write: "Loan received"
5. If you put your own money into business, write: "Capital contribution"
These do not attract tax when they are true.
If your phone charging connector is a USB Type-C, you need this information before you plug your cord to random charging outlets next time.
If anyone carrying a block that looks like a ‘power bank’ asks you to unlock your phone and help them confirm if their type C charger is working (they’d lie that it’s not charging their phone), please DONT DO IT.
The new scam in town is they use the tech device (that has the look of a power bank) to clone all your files (photos, videos, chats etc). Their aim is to basically clone your phone with the device, with future intent to use it to blackmail you or steal from you. However, the scam won’t work unless you unlock your phone. Unlocking gives the device the access they need to transfer your files.
Why am I sharing this information? We are currently handling a case like that with the police. A guy invited a lady he met online for a movie date, during the movie, he told the lady that his USB Type C cord is not charging his phone and asked if he could try the charger on her phone. The innocent, unsuspecting lady unlocked the phone for the guy, and continued with the movie. About 5min later, the guy passed the Lady’s phone back to her saying he forgot and they moved on. Few days after the date, the guy began blackmailing the lady with private files from her phone that even her couldn’t remember she still had them.
Henceforth, before you connect your USB Type C to a ‘power bank’ or ‘charging outlets’ without your adapter (charging brick) please ensure you set your phone to not charge unless unlocked. Or better still, get your own powerbank.
It's here and it's beautiful😍.
I'm excited to announce the release of YarnGPT, the best text to speech system for Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin and Nigerian English🇳🇬.

MENSTRUAL PAIN: ARE MOOD SWINGS REAL DURING MENSTRUATION?
IS MENSTRUAL PAIN AN EXCUSE FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR?
Walk with me.
When the Womb Weeps. A Letter to Aderonke
Dear Aderonke,
You are right, menstrual pain is real. Very real. Sometimes it feels like a chain saw cutting throiugh the skin. Sometimes it is a dull ache that sits in the belly like betrayal.
Like I'll always say, Menstruation is the weeping of a disappointed uterus, mourning the baby that did not come that month.
The womb contracts. The blood flows. And the pain becomes the language of the body’s grief.
And you are right again,sometimes this pain is not just monthly sadness. Sometimes it is endometriosis. Sometimes fibroids. Sometimes adenomyosis. Invisible wars fought by women whose smiles do not tell their stories.
And yes, this conversation must not be left for women alone. It should be whispered in classrooms and spoken loudly in clinics, so that boys grow into men who do not flinch when women say pain. So that understanding can stand beside empathy.
Because pain changes things, it dulls joy, sharpens tempers, and sometimes makes silence safer than speech. Hormones rise and fall like tides, pulling emotions with them, and sometimes a woman needs space.
But, my dear Aderonke, pain, no matter how deep is never a license for cruelty. Menstrual pain does not justify meanness. It doesn't equate bad behaviour.
It does not excuse unkindness. It should not strip us of grace.
I have seen women curled up on hospital beds, trembling, sweating, whispering prayers between spasms. I have held their hands and watched their tears fall not only from pain but from exhaustion.
And when I say your pain is valid, I say it with the weight of their tears and the echo of their sighs.
Yet even in pain, I have seen dignity. I have seen women choose restraint when rage would be easier. I have seen them call in sick from work rather than lash out in anger. They know pain, but they also know grace.
So when someone says, 'Menstrual pain is not an excuse for bad behaviour', perhaps they are not denying your pain, perhaps they are pleading for balance.
And balance, my dear, is everything. Because there is help.
Real, medical help. A gynaecologist can listen. A scan can reveal what eyes cannot see.
A laparoscopy can uncover what silence has hidden.
There are treatments. There is relief. There is hope.
So, dear Aderonke, continue to speak. Speak about pain, and about the women who endure it.
Speak about wombs that bleed and hearts that keep loving anyway. But speak with grace.
Let truth be firm, and spirit gentle.
Because women’s pain is best understood by women, but women’s dignity must be defended by us all.
