This man (Prince Adeniyi Matthew) created a fake government agency called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, appointed himself as DG, secured office space at the Federal Secretariat, opened a CBN account in its name, got N1,302,978,784 allocation in 2026 budget, summoned ambassadors to meetings, held strategic sessions with ministers, and even represented Nigeria at international conferences.
The audacity is almost unbelievable. Nigeria never runs short of ‘yan iska.
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS FROM THE WAR FRONT
Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have rescued 360 abductees from a JAS enclave in the Mandara Mountains following intelligence-driven operations in the North East. The victims are being evacuated and receiving medical care. Sadly, two infants died due to exhaustion from prolonged captivity and harsh terrain. The Federal Government commends the troops and reaffirms its commitment to ending terrorism and protecting all Nigerians.
The first project I managed in Shell was a $750K that I got because no one in the room wanted it - it was too small for them.
We were upgrading the Firewater System in an old oil producing platform seating in 3,000 feet of ocean water.
By the time we were done, the project ran into over $1M and it was such a success that it put me on the radar.
If you are trying to break into a new role, sniff around for the job no one wants and take it.
Like a deadly striker all you need is a half-chance to score.
Take those half-chances.
This speaks directly to our reality as a people and applies to almost every national discourse we have, especially on this platform. One of those intellectual crisis is, when we see individuals who are not well-informed on an issue, giving an opinion or even rendering solutions.
When people don’t understand a problem, they mislabel the solution as the threat. And in some climes, it's not that they don't entirely understand it, they just have a different priority. How then is the way forward? Leadership that sticks to what's right regardless of the noise.
A reported dialogue between Ali Larijani and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before his martyrdom:
Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, came to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei carrying a cold report — but his heart was not cold.
After a long silence he said:
“My leader… this time the threat is not just a passing message of pressure. A decision has been made. The enemy wants to kill you, even if the sky burns with missiles. We have prepared a fortified location, a place carefully secured and hidden from all eyes — a place bombs cannot easily reach and aircraft cannot strike. It is not hiding, my leader… but a temporary disappearance until the storm passes.”
The Leader remained silent for a moment, then slowly stood up — as if history itself had risen with him.
He approached and asked calmly:
“And when you came to me… what answer did you expect?”
Larijani replied after hesitation:
“I expected you would refuse. But my leader, the nation needs you, and the battle needs its commander.”
The Leader smiled — a smile carrying both sadness and wisdom.
“You are right in the calculations of states and the books of security. But let us speak for a moment in a language older than politics.
How can I ask a soldier to face death if his commander disappears?
How can I tell the people to stand firm… if I am the first to leave the field of danger?”
He paused, as if a door to Karbala had opened within his chest.
“We are the sons of a man named Hussein ibn Ali — the Imam who knew his fate and still walked toward it as one walks toward God’s promise. He did not disappear because his army was small — for he had a greater army in the heavens.”
Larijani replied:
“But my leader, history is not one page. We also have a Hidden Imam whose absence taught us that disappearance is sometimes wisdom, not fear.”
The Leader sighed and answered:
“The difference, Mr. Larijani, is that when the Imam disappeared, he had no army and no nation capable of defending the truth. But we… how can I disappear when I have a nation fighting? How can I vanish while my soldiers stand under fire?
When a leader disappears while he is alone, it may be wisdom.
But when a whole nation stands behind him, his disappearance may become a heavy question in the conscience of history.”
Larijani fell silent, unable to respond.
The Leader shook his hand, thanking him for his concern. After Larijani left, he gathered his family and told them about the proposal — a safe place they could go until the war ended.
They looked at him as children look at the meaning of dignity and simply said:
“We are wherever you are.”
And so the man remained where he was — not because he did not know the danger, but because he knew something deeper:
Some leaders, when they disappear from death, may also disappear from the memory of their nation.
Let me tell you about the picture in Frame 1.
In August 2017, as a litigation lawyer in Lagos, I had work to do that required me to be at the office during the weekend.
There was only one problem that weekend.
I had a 16 months old son, no nanny and no one to leave him with at home so I asked my boss if I could bring him with me and she was gracious enough to agree. While I was working, my son fell asleep and I had to lay him down on the floor beside my table.
In that moment, I took a picture of him sleeping and made a promise to myself that if I ever had my own firm, at some point in that journey, no woman working with me who had a caregiver emergency and needs to be at work will have to lay her baby on the floor.
That same day, I thought of my struggles as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace and promised again that no woman working with me who had a baby will ever have to struggle for a private space to use her breast pump at work, relieve her aching breast to focus and save some quality milk for her baby.
Frame 2
Today, we finished the renovation of our office building complete with a nursing room.
Litigation is tough for women.
The firm should not make it tougher.
Strichland LP has a nursing room and today, by the grace of God, I kept that promise.

With Geopolitics, Nigerians Are Generally Very Dumb, Ignorant, Sentimental and Parochially Idiotic!
Nigerians Who are Mostly Christians Hate China, Iran, Russia and North Korea... Ask Them Why?
They Will Tell You Nothing but What The Western Media and Hollywood Told them!
The US, UK, EU and The West...
Took Your Ancestors into Slavery,
Colonized and Stole Your Assets,
Corrupted and Allowed Your Leaders Warehouse Your Loots.
But Somehow, Na Iran Be Una Problem. Nigerians are Horrible with Geopolitics.
N76bn fraud case: EFCC witness says FG asked AMCON to intervene in Arik debt crisis

In 2022, we screened 59 women for cervical cancer. We found 8 with precancerous changes and treated them for free. That was 8 lives saved.
By 2024, we pushed harder and screened 300+ women and intercepted 12 more cases before it was too late.
These women were walking around, living their normal lives, completely unaware of the silent killer growing inside them.
From Friday, Feb 20th to Sunday, 22nd, the @AD__Foundation is heading to Abuja to screen 1,000 women. Free screening o.

I actually saw my father in this situation, sometimes, when growing up.
It was hard to see him in it.
But I'm glad he didn't hide this aspect from us all.
It gave us all thick skins and now helps our resolve even when we're short of cash for certain things.
We understood early that life must be lived even if the finances get strained sometimes.
I'm grateful to him. He made us understand the value of money and the sacrifice a father often makes.
Now, we're adults and understand the concept. We're largely contented and even if wealthy, we don't panic during seemingly dry spells.
Life's ups and downs, in many facets, were taught to us as we observed our father live life unashamedly.
I'm glad he did so and didn't think us all too young, or worry so much about how we'd view it when he went through it all.
He died at 50.
And quickly, many things made sense.
It seemed as if he had trained us for years after his demise. This is 12 years after and I remember it all vividly, enough to post a reply related to him.
Kids are often stronger than they seem, and their resolves can be well-shaped to stand the days of adversity when they come.
I don't plan to shield my kids from life's turmoil. I'll rather responsibly expose them to it, with the diligence and interest their lives deserve.
I'd love them to know that tough times can always come and when life is not looking like a bed of roses, it's not a hint for them to throw in the towel.
I'd rather do this than watch them grow up all soft and with no spine, such that they'd always need their hands held when tough times come.
What if I'm no more?
Who will hold those hands?
Who?
We are just weeks away from Artemis II, where we will send astronauts around the Moon—farther than any crew has traveled before.
