A lot of you never held any leadership role prior to marriage. Not your offices, not in associations you belong to, not even headboy of your primary school, so marriage is the one place you finally get to be the local champion leader you’ve been having wet dreams about.

Pathetic

[Iyaloja of Fields 🙌🏽 @bisolabadejo]

There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.

Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.

You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.

Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.

There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.

And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:

“What exactly are they reacting to?”

Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.

The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.

And God said:

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)

Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.

Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.

Statements like:

“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”

do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.

Genesis 1 says:

“Male and female created he them.”

God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.

And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.

Order does not mean value.

Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.

In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.

So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?

You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.

News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.

To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!

And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.

The logic collapses immediately.

The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.

And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:

“Have we represented Christ properly?”

Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.

Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.

Brother, silent treatment is not the same as taking a few hours to cool off. Taking space to calm down is mature. It is self regulation. You say, "I need a moment. Let us talk later." That is healthy. That is respect.

Silent treatment is different. Silent treatment is a weapon. The person does not tell you they need space. They simply shut down. They ignore your calls. They leave your messages on read for days. They act as if you do not exist. And you are left there confused, wondering what you did wrong, begging for a word, any word, just to know that you are still a person to them.

Bro, if you jam who be master at this thing, you go lose weight. You will lose sleep. You will lose your mind. You will start questioning your own memory, your own worth, your own sanity. Silent treatment is mentally abusive and draining.

"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others change their principles for the sake of their party." Winston Churchill

Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change

I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey.

I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built.

Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people.

Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so.

Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment.

Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty.

The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character?

Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest.

Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC."

Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian.

As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading.

Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain.

I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party.

As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer.

Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion.

Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope.

I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation.

I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right.

A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

[ZAHEER! @iam_YCee]

Nah my G!
These are not “dumb village twats”
Their actions are being recorded and published with smartphones to the internet. They are not in 1717 they’re in 2026 just like the rest of us. We’ve allowed misogyny to grow and thrive in our communities online and offline and this is just a manifestation of it. We’ve collectively failed our women time and time again that’s why you have men comfortable enough recording themselves saying “they told the women to stay indoors”.

[Harley knows you are lonely and so she @miss_ezeani]

God!! God!!!

Do you understand how much happened to those ladies! It was more than the assault, it was the mob!!!!

They were mobbed like criminals!!!

Pure beastial vigor unleashed on them, in droves!
Can you even picture the horror???

A hand reaches for your breast. You try to swat it away, but two more are already there. You realize you can’t fight them all, so you stop attacking and go into a desperate, frantic defense. You cross your arms tightly over your chest, trying to shield your own body from a drive of invaders. You are a fortress under siege.

But that does nothing.

Five more pairs of hands reach to rip your top. Three more are tugging at your bra, the straps digging into your shoulders. They are prying at your locked arms, trying to force your chest open, while the rest of the mob is pushing and pulling you in a dozen different directions.
You are fighting to keep your bra on, for your dignity.

Your flight response is screaming. Your legs are making a run for it even before your brain can process the path - this is pure survival now. Dignity has taken a back seat. You leap, trying to break free, but they pull. You feel your top give way, the fabric shredding, and suddenly your breasts are feeling the cool evening breeze... exposed to the eyes of these rabid drove.

You are using every ounce of feminine strength, against all these pure masculine energy fueled by the frenzy of a mob and lust… just to keep your arms wrapped around yourself. You’re trying to keep your balance things are happening faster than you can process. You realize you’re losing, so you drop. You collapse into a fetal position on the ground, trying to become as physically small as possible. To disappear.

But before you even hit the ground, hands grab the waistband of your jeans. The fabric is trapped between their grip and your skin. They pull. You feel the denim and the lace of your underwear fold into a brutal, agonizing wedgie between the lips of your vagina - the searing burn of the friction as they tug.

And you’re confused because you didn’t steal, you did kill… you were just a woman, commuting.

I didn’t censor my words because I want it to read as uncomfortable as possible.

Because there is not a single place on earth, in all of human history, where a man has faced this type of coordinated, ritualized horror from a mob of women.

Women get raped for “culture”, they get raped as a “punishment”, they get raped for revenge, they get raped for “duty”, they get raped for “rituals”, they get raped for looking too good, for dressing too scanty, “asking for it”, for being a tease, for getting in a room with a man, for being a toddler, for being an old woman in her 70s, for daring to commute in a BRT, for daring to breathe…

God!!!!

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

The actual research is wild. Every time you push down a feeling, your brain has to choose between suppressing that emotion and recording what’s happening around you. It picks the suppression. The memory doesn’t get saved.

A 2000 Stanford study confirmed this: people told to hide their emotions while watching a film remembered far fewer details than people who just reacted naturally. Suppressing emotions uses up mental energy, and that leaves less brain power for saving new memories.

Brain scans show why. A 2012 study found that suppression quiets the hippocampus (your brain’s memory-recording center) right when it should be saving information. The two brain regions that normally team up to lock in memories stop talking to each other.

Over time it gets worse. Suppression keeps cortisol (the stress hormone) elevated, and cortisol shrinks the hippocampus. Chronically stressed people can lose 10 to 15% of its volume. Just three weeks of high cortisol can shrink the tiny connection points between brain cells by about 20%. The good news: studies show this shrinkage can partially reverse once stress levels drop. Not necessarily permanent.

A Finnish study of 1,137 older adults tracked over roughly a decade found that habitual emotion suppressors had nearly 5x the risk of developing dementia, even after controlling for genetics, smoking, obesity, and education.

There’s a better way to handle emotions that doesn’t cost you your memory. It’s called cognitive reappraisal: instead of bottling the feeling, you reframe what’s causing it. (“This meeting isn’t a threat, it’s practice.”) A 2003 Stanford/UC Berkeley study found reappraisers had more positive emotion, better relationships, and higher wellbeing. Suppressors got the opposite on every measure. And reappraisal carries zero memory cost.

The difference comes down to timing. Suppression kicks in after the emotion has already fired, so your brain is fighting its own response while simultaneously trying to record the moment. Reappraisal changes how you interpret the situation before the emotion fully activates. Same event, same person, but your hippocampus stays free to do its actual job: recording your life.

Nigerians are too docile. A protest against NYSC would be the easiest thing ever. No one needs to hit the streets. There is no risk of bullets or tear gas. Every graduate simply refuses to register. Within 12 months, the FG would cave.

But we have useless SUG presidents.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

I’ve been pushing legislation to designate Nigeria a CPC and to impose sanctions on the Nigerian officials responsible.

Thank you to President Trump for his leadership in imposing the designation, and more broadly, for fighting to stop the murder of Christians in Nigeria.

Now we should take the next step and hold Nigerian officials accountable. I intend to be very explicit about who they are in the coming days and weeks.

good statements for women to practice:

1. NO.
2. you interrupted me, i'm not done talking
3. that's not funny.
4. i already know that.
5. that won't be necessary.
6. you're making me uncomfortable.
7. that's not appropriate.

Genuine question for Nigerian men who agree with this logic:
In what way has “toxic feminism” harmed you?
Every woman I know can give specific instances where they have been victims of misogyny.
Tell me about a time when you were a victim of misandry.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

As a child, I braided my mom's hair, painted her nails, slashed threadings from cornrows that served as base for attachments, without hitting any hairstrands.

In formative years, children reflect what they're around.

What you're telling us - is that you're an absent father.

[Rayhab 🇰🇪 @potentash]

Men overstep boundaries, then wonder why women want to keep things formal. Why are you calling a colleague sweetheart?

Clearly, you were trying to either undermine her or treat her as if she needed to listen to you because you are a "man" and she clocked your rubbish.
