I am making a thread of Men with fragile ego in Nigeria.
1. BAT
Despite all the ?wealth amassed to himself, he still needed to massage his ego with presidency despite being physically and mentally unfit. He would rather be wheeled to Aso rock and be ridiculed globally.
You are very myopic in your thinking, our geographical co-existence with other tribes leads to sharing of beneficial cultures including food. Iru is a discovery for me, and I have added it to my super healthy ingredients. Now I have ogiri, okpei and iru in my corner.
Igbo people do not add iru to egusi soup.
Igbo people do not add iru to okra soup.
Igbo people do not add iru to ogbono soup.
Igbo people do not cook with iru.
Igbo people do not add sugar to yam porridge.
And Igbo people do not pour beans inside pot, add water and ingredients, then start cooking it like that. We cook it halfway first, pour away the first water like rice, then add fresh water before adding ingredients and seasoning.
Yes, Igbo people use crayfish to cook almost everything apart from stew and you people should try it.
I genuinely do not know where some of you learnt your cooking from.
If you’ve divorced your partner and there’s no threat to life, why are you on the internet crying, can’t you just move on? Nobody cares! Look at Frank’s debacle - today, some are on Sandra’s side, tomorrow Frank’s, others are using the story for traffic. Utterly despicable!
This school Best Steps Academy Secondary School located at No 5 Atusiaka Lane, Oyigbo, Rivers State is currently engaging is massive WAEC fraud.
The WAEC supervisors sent there are mandating all students to pay N6000 per exam paper.
Their WAEC centre number 4332165.
There is massive exploitation of students currently going on at Abia State University.
Students are being forced to sort almost all courses or they will fail. Exam scripts are only marked when students sort with N5000.
They have extremely horrible lecturers.
This must stop!
What a terrifying and unimaginable country we now live in.
Terrorists launched an attack on mourners at the mass burial of seven Christians who had been killed in last night attack in Plateau State!
I’m Stranded in Lagos guys
I Need Your Support 🙏
Hi, my name is Esther Ubak. I came all the way from Akwa Ibom State to Lagos for an exhibition, full of hope and excitement, dreaming that this trip would open doors for my craft and creativity.
I’m a startup without funding anywhere, and to make this trip possible, I had to borrow money from friends, gather materials, and cover my travel expenses, all with the hope that the exhibition would be a success.
But things didn’t turn out as I expected. The exhibition didn’t go as planned, and now, I’m faced with the reality of having to refund every single amount I borrowed.
I really need the support I can get right now.
So here I am, still in Ajah, Lagos, with all the beautiful, handcrafted, upcycled pieces I brought along. I cannot go back home until they are sold, and every piece carries the love, time, and creativity I poured into it.
Below this post are the products available for pickup, each with its price tag clearly displayed.
So If you’re in Lagos and love unique art, this is your chance to grab something special.
📍 Location: Ajah, Lagos
📲 To order: Screenshot your favorite piece(s) and DM me on WhatsApp: +2347080501180
If you can’t afford a piece right now, you can still share this post, refer a friend, or invite someone who might love them. Your support, big or small really means the world and can help turn this setback into a blessing. 🙏
⚠️ In Brazil, a 48-year-old ice cream vendor abducted a 1-year-old baby girl from a floating boat where her mother had put her to sleep.
He raped the toddler, murdered her, and dumped her tiny defenseless body in the river.
When the horrific news spread, hundreds of outraged locals, including the baby’s mother, stormed the police station holding the suspect.
They dragged the rapist out, beat him, doused him with gasoline, and burned him alive in the street.
All captured live on social media.
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
