In Honour of the Late Archbishop Augustine Obiora Akubeze
I arrived in Benin City yesterday to attend the Vigil Mass for the repose of the soul of His Grace, Most Rev. Augustine Obiora Akubeze, at the Holy Cross Catholic Cathedral, Benin City.
Today, I also participated in the Funeral Mass at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Airport Road, Benin City, as we gathered to honour a shepherd who sincerely dedicated his life to the service of God and humanity, with a deep concern for building a better society and improving the lives of the people he served.
We celebrate the life of service of our Lord Archbishop Augustine Obiora Akubeze, his commitment to the Church, his pastoral leadership, and his strong dedication to the people. His life reminds us that true service is rooted in faith, compassion, sacrifice, and a genuine desire to make society better.
May his life of faith and service continue to inspire us, and may the good Lord grant him eternal rest in perfect peace. Amen. -PO
@FabrizioRomano Not sure we can call Rinaldo top 10 greatest players even if he scores 1200 goals. He's just not got the Aura, just a beautician on the football.
OSUN STATE: LET THE PEOPLE CHOOSE, LET PEACE PREVAIL
As we approach the upcoming election in Osun State, I wish to draw the attention of Nigerians, our institutions, political actors, the diplomatic community, international observers, and all friends of Nigeria across the world to the solemn responsibility before us.
Osun belongs to its people. Therefore, I call on the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, political parties, candidates, government institutions, civil society organisations, religious and traditional leaders, the media, and every stakeholder to act with the highest degree of neutrality, professionalism, and restraint.
The people of Osun must be allowed to vote freely, safely, and without intimidation. Their votes must be counted transparently, protected faithfully, and announced according to the genuine will of the electorate.
To those within Osun State, I appeal for peace. Do not allow politicians to turn your neighbours, friends, and communities against each other. Do not destroy your state in the name of winning an election. Nigeria is bigger than any candidate, and Osun is greater than any political party.
To those outside Osun- politicians, supporters, influencers, and financiers- I urge you to exercise restraint. Do not import violence, intimidation, or desperation into a state whose people have the constitutional right to choose their leaders peacefully.
To our security agencies, your loyalty must be to Nigeria and the Constitution, not to any political party or individual. Your duty is to protect every voter equally.
To INEC, the credibility of this election must be safeguarded from the preparatory stages to accreditation, voting, collation, and declaration. Every irregularity must be addressed seriously, and every legitimate vote must count.
And to the international community, diplomatic missions, and election observers: please monitor Osun closely. Your presence, vigilance, and principled observation can bolster confidence in our democratic process. Nigeria welcomes genuine partnerships in the protection of democracy, peace, and the rule of law.
Let us remember that democracy is not merely about who wins. Democracy is about whether the people are truly allowed to choose.
Let Osun demonstrate to Nigeria, and indeed the world, that political competition can be intense without degenerating into violence; that disagreement can exist without hatred; and that power can change hands through ballots rather than blood.
Let every vote count. Let every voter be protected. Let every legitimate result be respected. And above all, let peace reign in Osun State.
Nigeria is watching. Africa is watching. The world is watching.
Let us provide them with a democratic process worthy of the Nigerian people.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@SSurgeGG@KalshiEPL That season Al Nassr got gifted about 18+ penalties or more. It's completely different when you signed a contract to help you achieve 1000 goals with Saudi.

Alleged Phone Conversation Between Minister David Umahi and SUKAPU President Samuel Tabara Over the Controversial Death of Mary Habila
David Umahi: Are you Samuel Tabara?
Samuel Tabara (SUKAPU President): Yes, I am.
David Umahi: I am David Umahi, the Honourable Minister of Works. I saw your suit against me. You need money, right? I will teach you a lesson of your life so that you will learn never to mess with a person like me. I will give you ten lawsuits. People are mourning, and there you are taking me to court. I will deal with you.
What does this alleged conversation say about our justice system and the conduct of people in positions of power?
Nigerians are tired of Tinubu’s Irresponsible & Oppressive Administration & I am glad content creators are now informing the public with their contents.
This content got me laughing so loud 😹
