Having so much mixed thought while still not knowing what to say.
Am sure most Nigerians did everything right in 2023 yet YAKUBU MAHMOUD and judiciary dimmed it fit to reward is with Illegitimatè criminals.
Most Chief Justices Have Had Their Children Appointed To High Offices In The Judiciary -Chidi Odinkalu
That will suggest a tendency that needs to be questioned. Converting judicial office into a family dynasty undermines public confidence.

Sad: Our Children Are Now Pawns in a Deadly Ransom Economy
It’s heartbreaking to report yet another bandit attack on a school, barely three weeks after over 40 schoolchildren and their teachers were abducted and are still languishing in the forest.
The security situation in Kogi State has taken another tragic turn with a brutal bandit attack on Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba-Bunu LGA. Armed bandits disguised in military uniforms invaded the school during an ongoing WAEC examination, killed the Vice Principal, Mr. Gani Anifowose, and attempted a mass abduction of students.
Reports from the scene indicate that local security personnel and vigilantes actively resisted the attackers and frustrated their abduction attempt.
Making educational institutions soft targets is a direct assault on the nation’s future. It creates a psychological barrier to school enrolment and worsens Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, disproportionately forcing young girls out of formal education due to fear. There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than being unable to protect its children.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of the Vice Principal, who lost his life while gallantly defending the children entrusted to his care. May God grant his soul eternal repose.-PO
Exponential increase in revenue with excessive borrowing: Yet more hardship for Nigerians!
In celebrating three years of his administration, President Bola Tinubu included, among his achievements, an increase in revenue from N16.8 trillion in 2022 to N35 trillion in 2025. An increase of over 100%.
Shockingly, while Nigerians expected a reduction in borrowing with the exponential increase in revenue, the opposite is the case. In just three years, President Bola Tinubu’s government seems to be obsessed with excessive and imprudent borrowing, with our total debt currently about N200 trillion—a deeply disturbing increase of over N100 trillion.
In addition to the exponential increases in both revenue and debt, it is also important to note that Nigeria has earned far more than the budget revenue targets due to global and regional geoeconomic and political tensions.
Alarmingly, even with the astronomical increase in both revenue and debt, almost all key socio-economic and governance indicators are worse than in 2023. Multi-dimensional poverty has increased from 87 million people in 2023 to over 140 million people in 2025. Rapidly increasing unemployment and a decline in GDP per capita from $1,597 in 2023 to $1,223 in 2025, and the list goes on.
Just more and more hardship for Nigerians! The question Nigerians and even the international community are asking is, “Where did all the money go?”
Nigerians deserve a detailed and transparent explanation of what happened to our economy and financial resources since 2023, and a stop to the imprudent, unaccountable, and opaque management of our common patrimony.

I have listened to everything Kenneth Okonkwo, Bwala, Reno, Momodu, Abure, and others have said about Peter Obi.
I have concluded that PO is no longer the better candidate but the BEST CHOICE for 2027.
The fact that they all hate him is exactly why we want him in power in 2027
Terrorists collected the maths teacher's phone, saw a picture where he held a bible in the phone, and they beheaded him. He was beheaded because he's a Christian.
But they will still tell you there's no genocide of Christians in Nigeria.
This man was a mathematics teacher in Nigeria.
Not a fighter. Not a criminal. Not a threat to anyone.
He was a simple man who dedicated his entire life to teaching children. Every morning he walked into a classroom carrying books, lessons, and dreams for the future of young students. He spent years helping children understand numbers, solve problems, and believe they could become something great in life.
He was the kind of teacher parents trusted with their children.
The kind of man students respected and loved.
A man whose hands were made for writing on blackboards, not for carrying weapons.
But in today’s Nigeria, even a teacher is no longer safe.
He was kidnapped alongside over 100 innocent people and fellow teachers by terrorists. Families cried and prayed, hoping they would be released alive. Children waited for their teacher to return home safely.
But evil had already made its decision.
Reports say the terrorists saw a picture of him with a Bible on his phone. A Bible… the Word of God… became enough reason for them to take his life.
And then they slaughtered him.
Not in secret.
Not away from people’s eyes.
But in front of the very children he once taught in school.
Can you imagine the terror in those children’s faces?
Can you imagine young students watching the man who taught them mathematics being butchered before their eyes?
Can you imagine the screams, the tears, the fear that will follow them for the rest of their lives?
Those children may never sleep peacefully again.
They may never forget the sound of terror.
They may never erase the image of their teacher dying helplessly before them.
What offence did this man commit?
Was teaching children now a crime?
Was carrying a Bible now worthy of death?
Why take the life of a man who spent his years building the future of children?
Why murder a teacher whose only weapon was education?
Why destroy innocent lives while the world watches in silence?
Nigeria is bleeding every single day.
Christians are being persecuted. Villages are attacked. Pregnant women are murdered. Fathers are slaughtered. Mothers are left widowed. Children are becoming orphans overnight. Churches are filled with tears instead of joy.
Yet the world stays quiet.
If this was happening somewhere else, the world would cry out.
If this happened in powerful nations, headlines would never stop speaking about it.
But when Nigerians die… when Christians are massacred… when innocent teachers are killed before children… many choose silence.
But we will not remain silent.
We will keep speaking.
We will keep crying out.
We will keep telling the stories of innocent people whose blood cries from the ground.
We will keep demanding that the world pays attention until help comes.
Because silence in the face of evil only gives darkness more power.
“Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood.” — Isaiah 59:7
And the Bible also says:
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
May God comfort the children who witnessed this horror.
May God comfort the family of this teacher.
May God remember every innocent soul lost in Nigeria.
And may the world finally open its eyes before more innocent blood is spilled.
I just watched this disturbing video of nursery school pupils of Community Primary School, Umuora Obulechi, Oriuzor, in Ezza North LGA of Ebonyi State, receiving lessons in their terrible classroom.
The government just suspended the teacher and principal for letting someone show the rot in this school.
This same state spent billions sending a handful of persons to the UK for education while ignoring the poor children and poor families.
Let’s find the suspended teachers and support them.
We can pay them a year salary each and find other ways to support them.
For the government that suspended them, shame on you.
Fix this school for Christ sake and don’t be wicked to these children.
When a Society Turns Against Its Own
Reports from Cross River State this week have brought to light a deeply troubling incident involving young boys who were tied up like animals and brutally treated under the label of “Skolombo boys.” These are not merely disturbing images; they are a stark reminder that we have failed the children of our nation.
These young people, often labelled “Skolombo boys” and “Lakasara girls,” are not criminals by birth; they are victims of a system that has neglected them. Children who ought to be in classrooms, learning and building their future, are instead on the streets, struggling to survive.
Today, Nigeria has over 20 million out-of-school children, the highest number in the world, which constitutes a national emergency.
A society that ties up and beats its children with machetes is one that has lost its moral direction. We cannot claim to be building a future while destroying the very foundation of that future - our children.
Even more troubling is the contradiction we now live with. In a country where we speak of rehabilitation and reintegration for “repentant” terrorists, how do we justify brutality against vulnerable children whose only “crime” is poverty and abandonment?
We must move from punishment to compassion, from neglect to responsibility. These children must be taken off the streets and given access to education, shelter, and structured rehabilitation. Governments at all levels should seek ways to protect and integrate them into society, rather than criminalise them.
This is not just about Cross River; it is about the kind of Nigeria we are choosing to build. We must do better. Our nation must protect the weak and the future of its people.

FACT:
In 1990, one in ten Nigerians had high blood pressure.
Today it is one in three.
Diabetes was a rich man’s problem.
Now it lives in every street in Lagos.
Every village in Enugu.
Every family in Kano.
What changed was not the stress.
Not the water.
Not the genes.
It was the oil.
Somebody in a boardroom in Europe decided that the fat Africans had cooked with for centuries was “dangerous.”
They funded studies.
Paid for headlines.
Manufactured a replacement.
Soybean oil.
Canola oil.
Sunflower oil.
Extracted with hexane, a chemical solvent used in shoe factories.
Shipped it here in yellow bottles with a picture of a heart on the label.
And we bought it.
By the millions.
Within one generation, every kitchen in Nigeria changed.
Not because the new oil was better.
Because the marketing was louder than the science.
The oil changed.
The hospital bills changed with it.
Nobody connected the two because nobody was paid to.
Part 1 of 2 today.
Stay on this page.
If you are ready to take control of what goes into your body and stop following marketing disguised as health advice, send a dm to get a well-structured meal plan that actually supports your health.
Share this with someone still cooking with the wrong oil.
Boko Haram killed your family.
The EU is now paying and promoting for their “reintegration.”
And nobody is asking questions.
This is what betrayal dressed as peacebuilding looks like.
