12 June 1775: #British General Thomas Gage declares martial law in #Massachusetts during the American Revolution.

28 May 1588: The #Spanish Armada officially sets sail from Lisbon, Portugal. King Philip II dispatched the massive fleet of roughly 130 ships on a fateful expedition aimed at invading England and overthrowing Queen Elizabeth I. However, the campaign failed spectacularly after the fleet was defeated by the #English navy and subsequently devastated by severe storms while retreating around Scotland. #History #OTD #ad https://t.co/N854RHeXhL
She is stripped
Beneath her soul
Beneath her bones
Is shown
Substance
The veins
The blood
Beats from her heart
She cannot unsee love
Her true-self dawns
And upon the horizon
Linger moments of forever
Where
From the touch of his eyes
Rekindles
Ashes
Into
Embers
Into
Flames
Sometimes
The quietness of my steps
Is all I need
In the solitude of me
But
Today
Is different
Today
It's the wind
Who is
Tugging at my soul
Setting me in
An impetuous mood
Where my spirit
Out rules my reasoning
And where
My heart is free and in love

7 May 1918: The Treaty of #Bucharest is signed after #Romania had been defeated by the Central Powers during World War I. Romania had to return southern #Dobruja to Bulgaria, give Austria-Hungary control of the passes in the Carpathian Mountains, and lease its oil wells to Germany for 90 years. When the Central Powers surrendered in November, the treaty was nullified. #History #OTD #ad https://t.co/Ly4QAR4Ym9
So here I am
My heart before you
My life in your hands
You speak
But
I hear no words
Only your mouth
I see
Moving
Only
The glimmer of something
Long lost
In darkest colour
Of your eyes
Now you command me
Upon my knees
As
My heart I once
Offered,
You bloodily rip
From my hands

My heart once more
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
