Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

My name is Cosmos Maduka. I do not have a primary school certificate.

My father died when I was four years old.

Those who went to school used to call me a shop rat while growing up.

Despite all these setbacks, I gave my life to Jesus as a teenager, and my life changed. I learned about business from Jesus. The principles of Jesus form all my business secrets. From the Bible, without going to any business school, I have built a global empire, and so can you too.

Without a degree, I have served on the boards of two publicly quoted banks.

I have built a multi-billion-dollar empire across five continents and fifteen African countries. All these things could not have been possible without Jesus. I am nothing without the grace and help of God.

I pray for you today. Despite your limitations, grace will lift you up in 2026, in Jesus’ name. Jesus will give you an unfair advantage in the marketplace this year, 2026.

Type Amen if you believe.

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

I went back to Luke this morning just to revisit the story of Christmas… and Luke 2:7 hit me like an arrow to the chest:

“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.”

We romanticize that line so much that we forget how brutal it actually is. If the gospel narrative is true, then that’s not a cute nativity detail. That is the most explosive statement in human history.

The God who created galaxies entered His own creation… and there was no room for Him.

No royal welcome, no palace, no safety, no honor, not even a bed. He comes into the world He made, and the doors are closed in His face.

This is the single greatest scandal of Christianity: God doesn’t supervise salvation from a throne. He steps into it. He doesn’t arrive in glory. He arrives vulnerable. He doesn’t come intimidating humanity into submission. He comes as a child who can’t even hold His own head up. If you were inventing a religion, this is not the story you’d write.

Luke is quietly showing something staggering about God’s character:
He wins, not by force, but by love.
He saves, not by domination, but by self-giving. He comes close, not as a King demanding space, but as a Savior entering even when there is “no room.”

And that manger isn’t sentimental. It’s confrontational.

It confronts our pride, cos humanity has always had space for power, wealth, celebrity, and status… just never space for God unless He serves our plans.

It confronts our illusions of strength cos God is showing that real power isn’t the ability to crush. Real power is the courage to empty yourself for the sake of others.

It confronts religion, cos God bypassed temples and elites and arrived where animals feed… then announced His coming not to emperors, but to shepherds.

Luke 2:7 tells us who God is.

He is not distant, He is not indifferent, He is not cold sovereignty. He is the God who chooses weakness so He can stand with the weak. He is the God who walks into human pain instead of observing it from afar. He is the God who would rather be rejected with us than reign without us.

If this verse is true, Christianity isn’t just another belief system. It’s a radical claim that the deepest power in the universe is love; not might, not fear, not spectacle.

So yes… this verse broke me today.
Because if this is who God is… then hope isn’t sentimental. Grace isn’t theoretical. And Christmas isn’t “cute.”

It’s God stepping into history quietly…
exposing us gently… and saving us completely. Luke 2:7 isn’t a children’s story. It’s a revolution.

Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

Pay attention to this gist.

Someone in Switzerland committed a crime and went to prison for 4.5 years. He worked while in prison and was paid.

After serving his time, he saved about CHF 41,000 (>₦74 million). He has been released and has decided to return to his home country (Nigeria) for good.

When I was listening, I felt bad for Nigerians. Even prisoners in Switzerland earn much more than doctors in Nigeria.

From January 2026, you will start paying taxes like those in first-world countries. I hope you will demand to be treated like first-world citizens.

Artlas Remembers

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Back from the Vatican

I have just returned from the Vatican, and it was a deeply solemn and reflective visit. My participation in the inauguration ceremony was in line with my previous witnessing of inaugurations, swearing-ins, and official ceremonies across the world, this was no exception. Such occasions carry profound moral and spiritual significance. This was never a political event and should remain untouched by politics. Some moments are best reserved for quiet contemplation.

After the inaugural Mass, I did not attend the Papal Audience and therefore did not have the opportunity to meet the Holy Father personally. That honour was reserved for heads of state and accredited diplomats. For those who desire such an encounter, the Papal Audience continues traditionally.

What should truly command our attention, however, is the content and moral force contained in the Pope’s homily, particularly his urgent call to fight poverty and promote a spirit of brotherhood that transcends ethnic, political, and religious boundaries. The deeper meaning of the gathering lies not in ceremonial gestures, but in whether those present internalised his message and will return with the resolve to act.

The fight against corruption is the essential first step toward building societies where resources are directed to what truly matters - education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, and infrastructure. These should be our major concern and the lasting message we carry home from the Vatican. May we, in whatever station we occupy, rise to the task of building a more just, compassionate, and prosperous nation. -PO

@CNehdum Time heals. Please stay on the job, try and make a couple of new friends who will help you get over her.

You might need to meet other people to gain some perspective on whether she is the right person for you or not.

Hope this helps

I remember when I newly moved abroad. Planned a date with this particular babe.

"So, what would you like to do next week when we see ?"

Maybe coffee or a park walk, she said.

I burst laugh.

Her: "I didn't know I was this funny 🤭"

My dear, it's not you. It is PTSD. LMFAOOOO!

My First Encounter with PIDOM Nigeria.

My Uncle was k!dnapped in February 2022, in Imo state.

At about 12-1 am, in the dead of the night, 4 armed men stormed his compound - all masked and clothed in black (single) colour.

They dragged him out of his room, half-clad, like he was some cr!minal with a “bounty” on his head.

WHY IGBOS MUST NOT PROTEST!!!

As the nation prepares for the "Mother of all Protests" on August 1 under the umbrella name #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, there has been a very microscopic but consistent voice calling for the South-Easterners and indeed Ndigbo to shun the protests. The reasons given by those subscribing to this school of thought is that it may be tagged an Igbo protest, as Igbos are perceived as an endangered species in Nigeria. Heeding the call to shun the protest would be one of our gravest mistakes as a people.
I will elucidate why… come with me.

Ndigbo are highly opinionated and self-governing, as the adage goes, "Igbo enwe Eze" (the Igbo have no king). The British had difficulty conquering Igboland, which lacked a central political organization. There has never been a solitary voice that decrees or orders Ndigbo on what to do, as each is a government unto himself. The call by some state-backed groups and individuals to shun the protests is, at best, an exercise in futility, as Ndigbo will not be labeled as people who are incapable of owning their thoughts.

The Igbos will join the protests because Igbos are Nigerians, and no Nigerian is more Nigerian than any other Nigerian. Pulling out of the protests will portray Ndigbo as weak and psychologically subjugated people who are afraid of backlash from the government and its minions. The five Eastern States, with the exception of Abia State, are wallowing in directionless leadership, from the travesty of governance in Anambra to the demolishing machine in Enugu, down to the mannequin of Ebonyi and the Supreme Court stooge of Imo. Ndigbo are experiencing the same level of mindless pillaging by the supposed governors who are supposed to bring the dividends of governance to them—a region blessed with both human and natural resources, yet ravaged by insecurity and infrastructural deficiency.

Enugu State has become a haven for malevolent herdsmen, with the governor only appearing in blue suits with a confused smile, signing MOUs, and dancing at the State House. Ndigbo has a right to say "Enough!" and we will not become second-class citizens in our own country, lest it be tagged an Igbo protest.

The South-East has been the most marginalized and persecuted in the living memory of the Nigerian people. Omoyele Sowore called for a revolution, and Tinubu’s aide Onanuga wrote that Peter Obi is the one to be held responsible should there be anarchy.
This is a clear indication that the protest, which no prominent son or daughter of Ndigbo has supported, has been tagged an Igbo protest. What this means is that whether we protest or not, it doesn’t change anything. The Igbos will exercise their fundamental human rights, and no mental gymnastics will stop it.

Furthermore, Simon Ekpa, who is responsible for countless loss of lives and economic sabotage in the South-East and from all indications a stooge of the regime, has declared sit-at-home in concordance with the government, which is anti-Nigeria people both at local and federal levels. Heeding to the “No Protest in Igboland” is siding with Simon Ekpa and ultimately becoming anti-Nigeria .
We have as much stake in Nigeria as anyone.
Igbos are not endangered and will never be. Not even the civil war fought by our fathers could give us that subduing and conquered-people nomenclature.

In conclusion, Ndigbo, stand up and be counted, for an Igbo man is never known for cowardice. We are known for our bravery and gallantry in all spheres of life. If you must stay out of the protest, let it be a personal decision, as no man born of a woman can order an Igbo man around, let alone the whole South-Eastern region. Participate in the protests and join other Nigerians to save this country or step aside and watch us do it. Remember, whatever you do, you can never break the spirit of an Igbo man.

Deeje Nu!

He saw one of the cars we refurbished on X and decided to reach out to us, all the way from Lagos, we made an arrangements to pick up the car from Ibadan. We appreciated the fact that someone we had never met or seen trusted us with his car and we promised to give it our best to make the car look as good as possible.
