Everyone claims to be an advocate of the law until they ascend the throne where real power resides. As the saying goes, “He who pays the piper dictates the tune.”
Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, was supposedly a senior advocate of Nigeria but what happened when he held power?
The truth is simple: let the Nigerian elites fight their own wahala. It is not our battle. When they are united, we the people bear the brunt of their actions while their families enjoy the benefits of their “togetherness.” But the moment they fall out, they drag us into the matter, making it seem as if they have been fighting for us all along.
If they want to keep him till the end of this world, let them. It is their business. I know some people won’t like what I’m saying, but this is the plain truth take it or leave it.
@JacintaMarmo @Anthon_tmx He said the same thing when he was with the team but we were not listening to him because of our hatred to him that time. All of us complaints of him not using the kid but he kept telling us that he is managing him because he is still a kid.
We bow out of the Emirates FA Cup at the Quarter-Final stage against the Club World Champions.
Thank you to @ChelseaFC for your hospitality this afternoon and best of luck in the Semi-Finals.

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
