Just came back from watching Agbara Nla.
WOW
I totally get why people broke out in tongues.
For me, it was the Gospel that was preached, not so much about power as such, but the power of God's love to meet those who said yes, said no, defied, did not believe; everyone got His Love.
Goosebumps when some scenes came up.
Stellar performance from Daddy Mike Bamiloye and Pst Philip Olubakin.
Big Love to the Mike-Bamiloye Brothers and the entire family for birthing this.
Physically and spiritually, this was a high cost.
In my life as a Nigerian, i have never seen a government intending to run for a second term without a single campaign selling point cos it truly has none. Yet, there are people desperately pushing for its reelection.

Sincerely, I struggled not to respond because I’ve respected you from a distance. But your post reeks of a painful disconnect from the reality of ordinary Nigerians.
I’m almost 50, with a master’s degree, certifications and years of experience, yet I struggle to find stable work, pay bills and raise ₦1 million for accommodation after receiving a quit notice. Petrol has risen from ₦257 to ₦1,500, rent from ₦300,000 to ₦1 million, and three square meals have become a struggle. How much more suffering must Nigerians endure before their anger makes sense to you? They say the one who has never tasted bitter leaf will swear it's juice is sweet.
You say we shouldn’t reject Tinubu without knowing whether the alternative is a saint. Fair enough, but "must a man keep drinking poison because he cannot guarantee the purity of water elsewhere?" Would you tell a woman to endure repeated stabbings from her husband simply because she cannot vouch for the next man?
Living abroad may give you perspective, but it cannot replicate the daily suffocation of living here. You can sympathise with the man carrying a burden but you cannot dictate its weight when you’re not carrying it. The proverb is plain: he who has never carried the load does not know the weight of the rope.
"Not every angry Nigerian is blind; some are simply tired of being suffocated and then lectured on how to breathe." Before you preach to us about whom not to hate, try understanding what has given our anger a home.
Thank you
Finance careers explained simply
1. Investment banking. You help companies raise money or buy other companies. Think of the people behind big deals like the Dangote IPO. The pay is high, but the hours are brutal.
2. Corporate finance. You manage the money inside one company, like budgets, costs and big spending decisions. Steadier hours and solid growth.
3. Asset management. You grow other people's money through mutual funds, pensions and portfolios. Stable, well paid, and in demand as more Nigerians start investing.
4. Private equity. You buy stakes in companies, help them grow and sell later for a profit. Very high earning potential, but hard to break into.
5. Risk management. You spot money problems before they blow up. Banks and big companies always need these people.
Which one would you pick?
After more than 40 years apart, Fatai Okoya has made an emotional appeal to his father, billionaire industrialist Razaq Akanni Okoya, asking for forgiveness and a chance to rebuild their relationship.
In an open letter, Fatai expressed regret over their long-standing estrangement, admitting that he misses his father and hopes they can make peace while there is still time.
“Dad, I am truly sorry. My heart is open, my hands are extended, and my hope for reconciliation remains alive.”
After four decades apart, he is still holding on to the hope of reconnecting with his father.
