@Big_Mck @edwinokugbo You be spewing non*sense. This rhetoric I see from you is crazy. You sound so d*mb. Everyday agenda. Instead of seeing the greater good, you're orchestrating rubbish. You f*cked in the head and your posts keep appearing in my feed. Wake up, there is no agenda anywhere.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Never accept a counteroffer—even if it’s a 100% hike.

Being in HR, I’ve seen this play out more times than you think.

A candidate I was hiring for was earning 100,000.
He got a new offer of 170,000, a solid jump.

But within 15 minutes of the offer letter hitting his inbox, he backed out.
His current company dangled a 190,000 counter-offer and he accepted it immediately.

Fast forward 4 months…
The same candidate messaged me again.
His company had laid him off and replaced him with a cheaper resource.

His message started with:
Hi sir, I’m really sorry… do you have any openings?

This is exactly why I keep saying this:

👉 A counter-offer is not a reward. It’s a strategy to buy time until they find someone cheaper.
👉 Loyalty doesn’t magically increase with money.
👉 If they valued you, they wouldn’t wait until your resignation to pay you fairly.

Please don’t fall for counter-offers. It looks like a win… until it isn’t.

SIMPLE THINGS YOU CAN DO WHEN SOMEONE HAS A SEIZURE

READ. SHARE. REPOST.

SADLY, THESE THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TAUGHT AT PRIMARY SCHOOL LEVEL!

When the Body Shakes, Let Kindness Hold It: A Small Manifesto for Seizure First Aid

If a person is having a seizure, the first gift you give them is not medicine and not miracles, but calm, and calm is a language the body understands. Stay with them, and breathe as if your breath can lend theirs courage.

Panic is loud and clumsy, but presence is deliberate and kind. Gently move objects away, and if you can, guide them to the ground, because safety is sometimes nothing more than clearing a small space in a crowded world. Turn them onto their side and loosen what grips the neck too tightly, because even dignity needs air.

This position keeps the airway open and keeps fear from becoming choking. And then, quietly, begin to count, on your phone, on your fingers, on the soft metronome of your heart, because time, in seizures, is not an abstract thing; it is a decision-maker. It tells you when to wait and when to call for help.

Do not put anything in their mouth. Do not hold them down. Do not try to outmuscle the storm. And please do not offer food or water while the shaking is still speaking. Most seizures will end the way they began, suddenly, and without apology. What the body asks for in that moment is not interference, but space; not heroics, but safety.
When the seizure ends, remain.

Say gently, “You’re safe. You had a seizure. I’m here.” They may look at you as if waking from a strange country, tired and confused, and this is normal. Let them rest, because recovery is not dramatic, it is quiet, and it is human.

Call emergency services if the seizure lasts more than five minutes, or if it is their first, or if they are injured, or pregnant, or if another seizure arrives too quickly after the first. And share this, because knowledge is a form of love, and one day, in a bus or a church or a living room, you may be the calm person someone needs.

@OguguoNnamdi @Jade_Mois @OurFavOnlineDoc I think that there's a confusion somewhere and a lot of people are misunderstanding the movie. It wasn't a dream. Her child died the previous day, she had hallucinations all thru the day, think and match the storyline

@jbarbier @holbertonschool @SylvainKalache @verstaen Thank you sir

@TomisinWhyte @asher_kine Happy New month boss

@IfyADL @0xDaniiel Maybe because you haven't worked on a large project. It would be a disaster if you didn't write test for your frontend. I'm fullstack and I would write tests for both though stressful

[Faith Johnson @faithermacluv]

@IfyADL @0xDaniiel I write tests for my application, it is a vital part of development. Wrote over 200 tests cases for my backend

[Faith Johnson @faithermacluv]

@iamDoxazo @OurFavOnlineDoc Jesus being poor signifies that he left his exalted throne in heaven and came to our lowly state, so that we can be rich in all spiritual blessings. There's nothing spiritual about making money, unbelievers make money as well
