“Meet the best landlord in the world, my former landlord, the moment he knew I was building my own permanent place, he gave me his full support, my rent expired last year June but this man didn't allow me to renew my rent again, he gave me extra 6 months rent free to complete my building.

You can imagine leaving a rented space to your own permanent site, this man made it possible. I’ll forever be indebted you sir. Thank you for making this journey an easy one..."

Woman appreciates kind-hearted landlord

Good people deserve to be celebrated 🫶❤️

Didier Drogba on CAF's INSANE Ruling:

"My brothers and sisters in African football… today I speak with a heavy heart.
In January, we all watched Senegal fight with courage and defeat Morocco in a historic final.
It was a night of passion, sacrifice, and pride for the entire continent.
From Dakar to Abidjan, from Lagos to Nairobi — Africa celebrated its champions.
But now, months later, a decision taken in a boardroom has changed that story.
The Confederation of African Football Appeal Board overturns the result… and suddenly a victory earned on the pitch is taken away.
This is not just about one trophy.
This is about the credibility, the dignity, and the soul of African football.
Yes, rules must exist. Discipline must exist.
But when decisions arrive long after the final whistle, they create doubt, confusion, and pain.
They make the world question our organisation, our seriousness, our unity.
And we know how quickly critics speak.
They will point to moments like this to belittle the Africa Cup of Nations, to call it chaotic, to reduce its greatness.
But Africa is not small.
Africa has produced giants — players who have conquered Europe and inspired millions.
From Samuel Eto'o to Mohamed Salah, from Sadio Mané to Riyad Mahrez.
Our talent is unquestionable.
Our passion is unmatched.
What we need now is leadership that protects the image of our game.
Leadership that builds trust, transparency, and stability for the next generation.
If justice must be sought, then let it be sought — even before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But beyond this case, we must look within ourselves and ask:
What future are we building for African football?
Because our fans live for these moments.
Our players give everything for that badge.
We must not allow uncertainty and politics to steal the joy of victory from our people.
Africa deserves respect.
African football deserves strong foundations.
We are giants…
and giants must stand tall together."

This is a photo of Elon Musk's son at a meeting where his father met with the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Notice that this child of the richest man in the world carries no phone, no iPad, or any other electronic gadget that entertains, while stealing children's attention span. Instead, the then-eight-year-old boy was reading Secrets of Mental Math by Arthur T. Benjamin and Michael Shermer, while his brother held another book.

That is the secret between the Rich Dad and the Poor Dad. The wealthiest man in the world is teaching his children mathematics and numbers, while your child has a phone, iPad and still plays video games on another device after watching Netflix.

Steve Jobs, the creator of the iPad and iPhone, did not let his own children use both devices. He instead gave them books and even paid them to read. Please fact-check me. Yet, you overload your children with digital devices.

Mark Zuckerberg is famous for not having a television in his house. Not even one. His reason is that it will distract his wife, his children, and him from reading.

Notice what all three of these tech billionaire founders had in common. Their children are readers.

If you don't teach your children to love learning, they will grow up to become adults who are not earning. Children who lead grow to become adults who lead. The expansion of the mind in childhood results in an increase in your wealth in adulthood, if you can apply what your books supply.

And by the way, notice how simply the children are dressed. It just reminds me of how simply Alhaji Aliko Dangote's children were absorbed when I met them last year after spending time with him.

Think about this and consider making a positive change in your child's life.

Our sovereignty has since been violated by terrorists and murderous gangs who have countlessly slaughtered our people,raped our women,burn down our villages,kidnapped our students and extorted billions in ransom.Any military action taken with the consent or participation of our Government can’t be categorised as a violation of our sovereignty.We have lost hundreds of our galant soldiers,thousands of our citizens and pumped billions of dollars for nearly two decades and counting.
Terrorists have turned our North West region into a bloody theatre of endless funerals and perpetual bereavement.We have prayed and pampered enough.Their illusive,theocratic lunacy pursued through bloodshed and criminality must be confronted and defeated if we want to live in peace.
The military action to incinerate and annihilate them is the only path to getting our country back.When you have a fire in your home or snakes in your room,you don’t have the luxury of selecting or screening those who will help you to extinguish it.
Not just the US,if China,Russia or any African country wants to partner with our country to fumigate and deworm our country of these pests and evil forces,the Federal Government should welcome them.Those who are our friends should demonstrate their friendship in times of our urgent needs.
However,the ULTIMATE security of our country lies with the NIGERIAN ARMY and the effectiveness of our other security agencies in the service of our country and not with President Trump.

The writeup raises serious questions, but many of its claims rely more on suspicion than on facts. It links unrelated political transitions and frames them as a deliberate pattern, when these same transitions happen in every administration.

The idea that the “Muslim North” is being sidelined is misleading. The North has never been a religious bloc. Christians and Muslims across Borno, Katsina, Gombe, Bauchi, Niger, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Kogi and others have always been Northerners together. They have lived, traded and shaped the regions politics despite differences. Turning the region into rigid religious blocs is dangerous. We must see ourselves as Nigerians and Northerners first, before Muslim or Christian.

The claim that certain groups “make kings” also distorts reality. No region or religion determines power. People mobilise and vote, but leadership ultimately comes from God. Reducing politics to religious lines misrepresents our history and our faith.

On appointments, the idea of calculated displacement does not align with facts. When Kemi Adeosun resigned under Buhari, she was replaced by Zainab Ahmed from Kaduna. No one linked it to religion. When Adams Oshiomhole left as APC Chairman, Mai Mala Buni from Yobe replaced him without controversy. Even Gandujes exit simply returned the office to North Central where it was originally zoned. That was the fair and balanced thing to do. These are normal political corrections, not signs of a quiet war.

On insecurity, every region faces its own challenges. Yet defence and security now take the largest share of the national budget at about twelve percent, almost double the seven percent average of past administrations. That contradicts the narrative of a lukewarm posture toward Northern insecurity.

The Lagos Calabar coastal highway is also misrepresented. It is not a Lagos road. It spans eight states including Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River. Many of these are oil producing states that remain the economic backbone of the country. Investing in infrastructure along this corridor is logical, just as increasing defence spending is logical given national insecurity. Both priorities can coexist.

Negotiations with bandits did not begin today. Northern governors have adopted similar approaches in previous years. Presenting this as a new federal agenda against the North ignores that record.

As for foreign pressure or online rhetoric, Nigeria is governed by its constitution, not by tweets or external commentary. Supporters posting provocative views do not represent government policy. And no President seeking re election can ignore Northern votes, both Christian and Muslim. Every serious political actor understands this.

What is most concerning is how the narrative encourages Northerners to distrust one another. It tells Christians they are outsiders and tells Muslims they are victims, quietly fracturing a region that is strongest when united in purpose even with internal differences. This does not defend the North. It weakens it.

Nigeria needs less religion in politics and more focus on building a cohesive nation. At this point in our national life, leaders, stakeholders and citizens must push through both words and actions for national integration, peace and unity for the sake of the country regardless of region, religion or political leaning.

Has Religion Underdeveloped Africa?

Do you want to know why Africa is not as developed as it could be? Then consider this: Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther published the first Lukumi Yoruba Bible 141 years ago, in 1884. The first Swahili Bible was published 135 years ago, in 1890. The first Igbo Bible was published 112 years ago, in 1913. The first Hausa Bible was published 93 years ago, in 1932.

Sub-Saharan Africa has been way too focused on translating sacred religious texts of foreign faiths into our own languages. But how many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics books have we translated into African languages?

Let's take Lukumi Yoruba, for example. It was not until two years ago, in 2023, that Dr. Kayode Fakinlede wrote the first (to the best of my knowledge) science books in Lukumi Yoruba. That is 139 years after the first Lukumi Bible

And it was not till 2024 that Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro wrote the first science textbook in Igbo language. Again, this is 111 years after the first Igbo Bible.

I am told that there is a science textbook in Hausa, but that it is not quite ready and undergoing some review.

But if you look through history, no nation has become technologically advanced by depending on only the Jewish Tanakh, the Christian Bible or the Islamic al-Quran.

In fact, the very first word in the Quran is Iqra, which means "read." Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalaam, encouraged Muslims to read not only the Quran but also other areas of academic research and study.

The Quran, for example, in Ayats, traditionally known as Verses of Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, encourages the study of science and the natural world. That is why many scientific innovations, such as algorithms, hospitals, and universities, are of Islamic origin.

For example, the oldest university in the world is the University of Al-Karaouine, founded by Muslims in 859 AD in Fez, Morocco.

Modern Israel is better known for scientific innovation than religious conservation. There are over ten thousand scientific, technological, technical and mathematical books written by Israelis in Hebrew. They have more science texts than religious books.

While we in Africa call on the God of Israel to save us, Israelis are using the brains that that God gave them to save themselves.

When we as a race focus the vast majority of our intellectual effort on religion, and especially religion, for the sake of religion rather than for the sake of societal progress, we will not fulfil our potential as a people.

That is why I want to urge African governments to see this as a challenge and start prioritising the localisation of technology by funding research that results in Mass translations of science texts into African languages.

Inferiority begins in the mind, and that is where Africa has to fight it. One way we can do this is through early education.

We program our kids from youth to see themselves as inferior to Westerners by teaching them:

A for Apple instead of A for Akara
B for Ball instead of B for Boli
C for Cake instead of C for Cedi

We must Africanise Africa’s Europeanised education system.

We must stop teaching African children that Mungo Park discovered River Niger, that John Speke found the source of the Nile or that Richard Lander discovered River Benue. These are not just historical fallacies. They also condition the African child to see himself as inferior to Europeans.

Instead of London Bridge is Falling Down and Cinderella fairytales, let us teach African children right from primary one about the 1000-year-old Ife bronzes, the ancient Benin civilisation, Queen Amina of Zaria, Shaka the Zulu and his defeat of Britain, Mansa Musa and his fabulous wealth, and other historical facts about their great Black African heritage.

If we can initiate this intellectual revolution, our next generation will have a mental shift. Instead of cruise, we will have youths capable of manufacturing cruise missiles.
