True success isn't just about personal achievements; it's about lifting your family up alongside you.
Imagine a family responsibility that only you can contribute financially!

[West Africa Weekly @WestAfricaWeek]

Mr. Hundeyin's disengagement was due to repeated, and documented financial irresponsibility. The Board members no longer had confidence in his commitment to the core principles of WAW or in his work ethic. In due time, more communication will be made available on these issues.

Please, what could be the cause of this?

My iPhone 17 Pro Max was ‘MOVED’ at the Eagle Square… 😭😭

Here is how the story unfolded:

I arrived in Abuja at 4:10pm on Friday for the APC National Convention, which was scheduled to begin at 7pm. President Tinubu’s motorcade was expected to arrive at Eagles Square for the event. However, I had been delayed at the Lagos airport for about 45 minutes before my flight took off and then faced the stress of moving from the Abuja airport to my accommodation. My plans were slightly disrupted.

Then, my colleague @Mr_JAGs called me to inform me of a significant change in the convention’s schedule. This literally raised entropy in my body system.

I realised I needed to quickly change my neatly tailored kaftan to the uniform Ankara brocade (Aṣọ Ẹbi) hastily sewn for the APC Convention. It would not make sense if I looked different from the colourfully dressed Lagos delegates led by Mr. Governor.

So, I rushed to my hotel to freshen up and change my clothes. I, then, joined Mr. Governor and his Governor colleagues at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge to move in a group to the venue ahead of the President’s arrival.

Upon arriving at Eagle Square, the buses carrying the Governors were directed to the VVIP entrance on the opposite side of the President’s entrance. I tucked myself in this movement.

Everyone disembarked and proceeded to the VVIP entrance, which was manned by a combined team of soldiers, policemen and DSS operatives. The VIP entrance consisted of three layers of checkpoints, each strictly controlled.

Navigating through the first two checkpoints was chaotic. Some unaccredited individuals attempted to mingle with the Governors’ security details, but their attempts were firmly rejected by the soldiers. At the final checkpoint, there was confusion about who should be allowed access.

In the ensuing disorderliness, my iPhone 17 Pro Max (2TB) was ‘Moved’ from my side pocket, which was quite deep. I was momentarily dazed by the excitement of the Governors’ grand entrance into the venue.

“Where is my phone?” I exclaimed.

Everything seemed blank before I came to terms with the fact that I had been robbed.

My Charmast power bank and AirPods were the only working tools left on me. How would I work with such hardware?

However, I strolled into Eagle Square without betraying any emotion. But within me, I was experiencing deep pain. Emi omo Mushin ni won move ni Abuja…

I spotted many of my APC favourites but couldn’t take pictures with them. Pastor Okezie, Bashir Ahmad, Mayowa Davids, Segun Dada, Seyi Law and Jerry Koko, among others.

I was worried about getting back to my base without a phone to use GPS. My brother, Saheed Idris, who owns the popular Lagos Gist blog, graciously lent me his small Android phone so I could connect with people while inside the Eagle Square. I tried calling my number repeatedly but no one answered.

Given the huge crowd, I gave up on my iPhone. Then, I remembered my iPad, which was at the hotel with my second phone – a top series of Samsung. Most of my iPhone’s contents were on my iPad; this gave me some hope.

🇳🇬 JUST IN: Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, Rejects Amnesty for “Repentant Terrorists,” Says Force Is the Only Solution and Calls for Decisive Military Action

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, has declared that appeasement and goodwill gestures cannot end terrorism in the country, insisting that only decisive force will produce lasting results.

Speaking at the Nigerian Armed Forces’ inaugural lecture at the Joint Doctrine Centre in Abuja, he stated, “No amount of goodwill gesture or appeasement will end terrorism in Nigeria. It can never be a comprehensive solution compared to decisive kinetic action.”

He warned that terrorist groups exploit peace initiatives, adding, “They will simply exploit these initiatives whenever it benefits them. Terrorists never surrender out of remorse.”

According to him, such groups only lay down their arms when they are overwhelmed. “They lay down their arms only when they are facing certain defeat, and suddenly, they claim to be repentant,” he said.

Footage from the event shows General Oluyede addressing an audience of senior military officers and civilians, including personnel from the army, air force, and other branches gathered in a large auditorium.

Unpopular opinion, Adelabu, Tinubu etc are not the problem of the power sector.

The problem is purely lack of heavy investment in the sector because the sector is not profitable for private sector...

Electricity needs 80 GW (80,000 MW) to be 24 hrs, the country currently supplies 7GW.

To get 80 GW, you need nothing less than 70 billion dollars.

Nigeria total current budget is less than 40 billion dollars.

So be honest, do you think Tinubu or Adelabu can provide 24hours without private sector investment??

@ummarulfarouk In retrospection, if you have been looking at the crescent from the sallah day. You'll confirm that this guy was right after all

i was reading Surah An’am and found a verse that says, “Your Lord has made it obligatory upon Himself to be merciful to you.” i stopped, put my Quran down, and just sat there amazed, the one who doesn’t need anything from me has made it a rule for Himself to show me mercy? 1/2

Around this time two years ago, I lost my elder brother, Iskilu. I grew up looking up to him he always pushed me to go to school, work hard, and never give up. He believed in me, gave me books to read, and wanted the best for me. Sadly, he took his own life after losing his leg in a terrible accident. He got depressed, couldn’t get a normal job anymore, and felt like all hope was gone. We never recovered his body after he jumped off Third Mainland Bridge.

It still hurts that I never got the chance to tell him how far I’ve come how I moved from having just 700 naira to earning $15,000 in a year, all from working online. I wish he knew he didn’t have to work onsite to survive I could have taught him what I know. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to sharing knowledge and helping others find remote opportunities. Many people have landed real paying jobs just using their phones.

I’m still on this journey to defeat poverty, and I hope to make him proud. I miss you, brother.

Broke ones will rise again

Rest in peace, Iskilu. 🕊️

@ASAKESZN Raising people's hope with promises you know you can not fulfill. This is not good at all

@asherkkine Big lie on Twitter as usual, to get engagement

My other friends had to call the attention of policemen and passers-by to resuscitate me.
I found reminants of biscuits and salts in my mouth when I regained my consciousness, and I became angry that those guys had cut my fasting. Everyone started laughing at me.

Some of my friends registered for WAEC in one village around 2003. We were very close, used to rally around and helped each other.
So, myself and other friends went to give them hands (expo). It was on mathematics day, which fell on a Thursday. 1/3

Tell us a crazy but true story.

[Ade of Kano @adgado4u]

It was tough, as policemen were patrolling around the area, and we were running and hiding in the bush too.
Being a Thursday, I was fasting too. Alas, when I was running and dodging in the bush, I had fainted and unconscious. 2/3
