Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

There are men with a long truck right outside my street this night.

What exactly they're doing, I don't understand.

Thieves? Bandits? Kidnappers?

I'm so scared right.
😐😐😐

God abeg.

When most people hear “AI” they instantly think ChatGPT.

But AI is way bigger than “something that replies to you.”

There are AIs that don’t talk at all yet they’re silently running your apps, your devices, your recommendations… even your security🧵⤵️

[ACHIEV3R💡 @Achiev3r]

Most people think AI is just for pictures, videos, or random prompts.

But in reality, AI is meant to reduce friction and save time, the same problem Web3 is trying to solve.

NotebookLM focuses on studying, research, and deep understanding.

[ACHIEV3R💡 @Achiev3r]

I’ve been discovering some AI tools that are actually important and useful.

Especially for students and people building skills online.

One that really stood out is Google’s NotebookLM.

If you’re into tech or Web3, this is worth your time 🧵⤵️

Many nurses I met here in the uk were the one financing their home for the first few years of their relocation.

These are people who did not pay rent while in Nigeria.

These are people whose husbands were engineers, doctors, Lecturers in Nigeria but after relocation had to do menial jobs ti sustain the family.

The idea of “50/50 in marriage” sounds fair, modern, and balanced, but in real life, it’s one of the biggest fallacies we keep spreading.

Marriage has never worked on perfect arithmetic. It works on capacity, season, and sacrifice…not percentages.

Some days one partner will give 80 while the other gives 20.

Some seasons, one person will be strong, and the other will be fighting silent battles.

Some moments, one will carry the emotional weight, financial burden, or household responsibilities because the other is simply drained.

And that’s not failure.
That is marriage.

The truth is simple: no human being can wake up every day and contribute exactly “50.” People get tired. People get sick. People break down emotionally. People lose jobs. Life shifts. Energy fluctuates.

A healthy marriage is not two people calculating what the other has done, it is two people who are committed to showing up fully in whatever capacity they have each day.

Today you may carry your partner.
Tomorrow they may carry you.
Balance is achieved over time, not in one moment.

And here’s another reality people avoid:
Sometimes the person who is giving “30” is actually giving 100% of what they have in that season. And the partner giving “70” also gives because they can at that moment. That is partnership, not exploitation.

The people who survive marriage long-term understand one thing clearly:

Marriage is not 50/50. Marriage is 100/100.

Two people committed to giving their best, not an equal fraction, but a full effort according to their ability, their health, their season, and their reality.

When you insist on 50/50, you reduce marriage to a business contract.
When you understand 100/100, you embrace marriage as a covenant, a daily decision to love, support, and show up.

Some days you will be the one lifting.
Some days you will be the one leaning.
And that is perfectly fine.

Anyone who wants a mathematical marriage will never experience a meaningful one. Love has never been about counting. It has always been about giving.

@OIuwatosin Then you have not seen me and some other creators write.

I wrote a content on LinkedIn that went viral on this X platform.

I don't think it has ever happened before for a LinkedIn content to go viral on X.

But X content goes viral on LinkedIn.
