The only people who want your fitness advice are people who asked for it.
If nobody asked you, do well and mind your own business. Everyone has access to YT if they want to check the proper form for any exercise.
CSR has to begin at home.
Jarus Homes excited to commit to donate a mini sports complex (consisting of football pitch and volleyball and tennis courts) to the University of Offa.
We genuinely underestimate what Tunde Ednut is doing on Instagram. Singlehandedly holding down the forte, on there.
Imagine someone like him decides to form apolitical.
Nigeria has decayed too far for anyone to sit on a fence - that is how you utilize your influence.
We have not seen destruction on this scale before.
The lower class have been obliterated. They have all been pushed below the poverty line. N55m more Nigerians pushed below the poverty line since Tinubu became president.
The middle class are in the lower class now.
Vote NDC.
Introducing Danii.
After years of designing for others, I finally designed for myself.
This is more than a portfolio. It's a reflection of my journey, my growth, and the kind of designer I'm becoming.
A huge shoutout to the Dev @Divine_Ose_Omo

I can’t lie we entertainers .. we Dey fuckup I won’t lie including me … we need to speak up … it’s too much injustice goin on .. our country don go 💔🇳🇬
Nigeria has a massive landmass of 923,768 square kilometres. Divided by our population of approximately 230 million, this results in about 4.00 square metres per person. The foregoing clearly illustrates that we have absolutely no justification for being among the world's hungriest nations.
Transitioning our nation from a state of consumption to one of production, through significant investments in agriculture, is the sole dependable strategy to escape the current depths of hunger and poverty. As I often emphasise, the uncultivated lands in our northern region represent our most substantial tangible assets. Transforming this sector is our direct pathway to prosperity.
ENERGY SECTOR
Nigeria today is the nation with the highest number of citizens lacking access to electricity globally. We currently generate and distribute a mere 4,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity for a population exceeding 200 million. In contrast, comparable nations worldwide - including several African peers such as South Africa and Egypt - each generate and distribute over 40,000 MW, despite both countries having less than half of our population. This considerable power shortfall continues to cripple businesses, choke industries, and stall overall economic growth.
Over the next four years, I commit to ensuring a minimum of 10,000 Mof W power increase generation and distribution.
UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT
Our large pool of talented youth remains largely unemployed. The current official unemployment rate of 4% grossly misrepresents the true situation; actual underemployment and unemployment in Nigeria exceeds 30%, with youth unemployment sitting at over 40% - among the highest globally, necessitating urgent intervention. We will address this by aggressively supporting the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through targeted tax incentives, special interest rates, and accessible funding in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, entertainment, sports, and distribution. These improvements will be both measurable and verifiable.
CORRUPTION AND GOVERNANCE COSTS
Nigerians will witness a tangible and verifiable reduction in corruption and the baseline costs associated with governance. Public resources will be managed with absolute transparency, prudence, and accountability to ensure that every naira spent yields demonstrable value for citizens.
RULE OF LAW
The rule of law will be fiercely upheld, and adherence to it will be sacrosanct for both government officials and citizens alike, strictly in accordance with our constitutional frameworks.
DEMOCRACY
Our democracy will exemplify true governance of the people, by the people, and for the people, completely free from interference by the ruling party. Instead, we will institutionalise deep respect for opposition parties and foster constructive engagement in governance.
Under my leadership, democracy will be pursued with integrity, fairness, and transparency.
Following this i will make democracy work and the Vice president will be partner not a spare tyres. I hereby accept my affirmation and nominate Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM as my Vice President.
May God bless you all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
When people say “they are close to Lagos”, “they are now in Oyo state”, I really don’t understand
The places they’ve been attacking are not as important?
You see how they give opportunities to everyone regardless of where you are from?
Lagos people said goverment shouldn’t give Igbo people jobs in Yoruba land and Ronu applauded it.
Bunch of hypocrites
