Makachi, cultism is one of the most useless things in this life. It is one of those decisions you can make that has absolutely no advantage, only disadvantages.
Tell me, how does it make sense that your father gets killed by unknown people, and the whole story flying around is that you are somehow responsible for your father’s death? That you are a cultist, that you put your hand where you weren’t supposed to, and that people retaliated by killing your father.
Whether you are actually responsible or not, nobody knows. But imagine the narrative surrounding you. Imagine being somewhere and hearing people say, “That is the boy whose actions led to his father being killed.”
Imagine how your family would look at you. Imagine how your friends would look at you. Imagine how society would perceive you. Imagine carrying the burden of being known as the son whose actions allegedly led to his own father’s death.
There is genuinely no benefit in cultism. I keep saying this, but people don’t listen.
Forget all those fancy handshakes and coded gestures that some of these celebrities display on Twitter and other social media platforms. For an ordinary young guy on the street, what exactly is cultism going to give you?
It will take, take, and take from you.
It can take your life.
It can take your freedom.
It can take your peace.
It can take your innocence.
It can take your family.
It can take everything genuine that life has to offer you.
And what does it give you in return?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Just pain, fear, loss and regret.
Cultism is not an achievement.
It is not a shortcut to respect.
And it is definitely not something worth sacrificing your life or your family for.
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
We have taken a couple of steps since I got to know earlier in the morning at 6;
She has been rescued from the man's house and she will be living with my mom (she used to and was taken away only towards the end of last year by the father. we should have known he was up to no good)
We lodged a formal statement with police and tests have been done (she said the man was unfortunately defiling her)
Her excuse of a father did show up at police 30 minutes ago and has been arrested
I want to involve a lawyer so that this case is seen through to court, but first, a family meeting. Thankfully, my mom, as head of their family, agrees with me that we shouldn't let this slide...
Bruno Fernandes was still shit bruh, his flaws are hiding blc we won and us winning today all thanks to Kobbie Mainoo, who was able to steady the Midfield, a fit Kobbie Mainoo is a dangerous and deadly player
everyday i pray against being a knowledgeable broke man, the guy that know it all but hasn’t done anything significant with his life.
very miserable thing to be.
Good news from around the world that nobody is talking about.
1. A Nigerian physicist built a portable MRI machine that cost 100 times less than existing models.
2. By the end of 2026, eye drops that will correct vision without the need for glasses will be available for sale.
3. Finland developed a microbiome pill that eliminates depression in 6 weeks with no side effects.
4. Michael Jordan opens another free medical clinic for uninsured people, extending access to health care.
5. Norway has reached a deforestation rate close to zero.
I can't believe that the most powerful man in the world has the IQ of a toddler and behaves like one. He treats deadly war, which has a great impact, like a schoolyard contest. How did we get there?
There was a 5-day gridlock in Edo State because of bad road; you didn't feel ashamed.
Over 500 people were kidnapped in Niger State; you didn't feel ashamed.
Corpers were kidnapped; you didn't feel ashamed.
Fuel just increased to N1,310 per litre; you still didn't feel ashamed.
The president of the most populous black nation, Tinubu is begging FBI not to release his records; and you still didn't feel ashamed.
But you'll only remember shame when you see Peter Obi rolling with common Nigerians in the streets.
Well done, Minister of shame.
Two ladies arrested for stealing their neighbors’ 3 kids 2 weeks after moving in as tenants
Two women have been arrested in Jalingo, Taraba State, after they were caught attempting to take three young girls out of the state to Adamawa.
According to reports, the suspects, both single and reportedly from the South-East, were arrested at a filling station while travelling in a commercial vehicle with the girls, aged between five and six.
The incident reportedly began when the women, who had rented a room in the same compound where the girls lived about two weeks earlier, reportedly deceived their mothers into allowing the children to accompany them to the market.
Instead, the women allegedly took the girls to a motor park in Jalingo, where they hired a vehicle to transport them to Adamawa State.
The vehicle driver reportedly became suspicious after noticing that the girls did not resemble the women. He alerted members of his union, who contacted the police, leading to the suspects’ arrest.
At the police station, the women reportedly admitted taking the girls from their compound after deceiving their mothers. The girls, identified as Ummul Shuaibu, Ummul Baba Gasal and Amina Abubakar, were later reunited with their families at the Taraba State Police Command headquarters.
Their fathers were initially invited to identify them, while their mothers were subsequently asked to confirm their identities before their release.
Abubakar Kwalli, father of one of the girls, said the children became emotional when they saw their mothers, with each girl rushing to her mother in tears.
The Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Victor Mshelizah, confirmed the arrest and said investigation into the incident was ongoing, adding that further details would be released after the investigation.
