I am the good news from Nigeria

Everybody will one day appreciate communal training at last. Just offer to wash, it won’t kill you. I also hope the old man will do the same to a wealthy inlaw.

@asemota You can ignore Nigerian politics. But as long as you live in Nigeria, your very life is always at the mercy of Nigerian politics, because politics never forgets about you, for good or ill.

"Millionaires don't use astrology; billionaires do" - JP Morgan.

"There is no Atheist at 50x leverage."

That last famous quote above also applies to billionaires and the massive bets they make.

Someone just asked me if billionaires also pray after seeing the latest picture of Otedola and Rabiu. I told him that I know Adenuga is always praying with his catholic rosary. Some of the most superstitious people I know are very wealthy.

Nayib Bukele just built the Greatest Hospital in South America called Hospital Rosales. It will Treat Citizens FREE. Total Cost Building + Furnishing $61m (N83billion)

Tinubu used N15 trillion to Build Coastal Road.

N15 trillion divided by N83 billion =

181 Hospitals 😢🙆🏽‍♂️💔

Despite Nigeria’s abundant sunshine, i find it interesting that up to a third or more of the population suffers from low vitamin D levels.

This is primarily caused by darker skin pigmentation, which reduces UV absorption, paired with indoor urban lifestyles, cultural sun-avoidance, and diets lacking fortified foods.

I’d be interested in knowing to what extent low vitamin D levels causes hormonal imbalance in Nigerian women.

@asemota Epa, we plenty for this whatsapp group. My first thought was it's family affair....

[Cross˚ @Elkrosmediahub]

Honestly don’t know why tales of the kidnap of these kids are being swept under the carpet.

Unlike Gov. Seyi Makinde, Zulum isn’t even saying anything about it. Totally unfazed.

HE LEFT HOME TO KICK A BALL AT 14. THEY FOUND HIM IN PRISON 18 YEARS LATER.

Nigeria, someone explain this.

2007. A 14-year-old boy named Gospel Uabari Kinanee stepped out to play football with friends. Normal day. Normal child. Normal game.

He never came back.

His family turned everywhere upside down. Hospitals. Police stations. Churches. Mortuaries. Every rumour, they chased it. Weeks became months. Months became years. Still nothing.

The pain broke them completely. His parents sold everything they owned searching for their son. They dïêd without ever finding out what happened to him.

Everyone eventually accepted the worst.

Then, eighteen years later — not one, not five, not ten — EIGHTEEN YEARS — his elder brother got a phone call.

"We found your brother."

Found him where?

In a correctional facility in Rivers State.

The boy who vanished at 14 had been behind bars the entire time. When family members asked for records, there were reportedly no clear answers. No family visits. No one looking for him. No voice. No hope. Just years disappearing silently, one after another.

But the most devastating part isn't even the prison.

It's what eighteen years inside did to him.

He now struggles to recognise his own family. He cannot properly explain what happened to him or where his life went.

Eighteen years. Gone. Just like that.

If this story is true, every Nigerian should be asking the same questions right now.

How does a child vanish inside a system meant to protect him? How many others are sitting somewhere at this moment, waiting for someone to remember they exist?

Today it is Gospel. Tomorrow it is someone's brother. Someone's son. Someone's father.

This is not just one man's story. This is about justice. About accountability. About a system that is supposed to protect people — not quietly swallow them whole.

What is your reaction to this? Drop it below.

When I first arrived in Silicon Valley, I watched two guys go to lunch, sketch an idea on a napkin, walk into a VC's office that afternoon, and have funding by the end of the week.

Back home in Senegal, that same idea would've taken two years of permits, bribes, and government approvals before it could legally exist. 

By then, the moment would be dead and the founder would be broke.

That gap between what's possible in a free system and what's impossible in an unfree one is the reason I do what I do.

[Arojinle @arojinle1]

One way you'll know that these unfortunate Neolife people are destroying lives is by how they get people involved. If you're sharing genuine opportunities, why lie to bring people in? We'll keep doing our parts but people too shouldn't be too gullible. This is 2026. Thank God you're smart. They would have reeled you in.

THE NIGHT A KING WARNED ME TO ABANDON A 90-HECTARE FARM PROJECT IN NSUKKA

One of the most unforgettable experiences in my agricultural consulting journey happened many years ago in a community under Nsukka Local Government Area.

I received a call from a former Commissioner for Health from one of the Eastern states. He had acquired about 90 hectares of land for a large cassava project and wanted me to handle the farm establishment.

Before work could commence, he asked me to visit the community, meet the traditional ruler, and familiarize myself with the people.

I immediately called my neighbor, Muhammad, an okada rider.

"Muhammad, do you know this place?"

He smiled and replied, "Oga, I know am well. We will pass through Obale and cross the Egabada River. We will get there."

Early the next morning, we set out on the journey.

My people, that trip was an adventure on its own. Rough roads, rivers, forests, and countless villages. But eventually, we arrived.

The king welcomed me warmly. He offered me kolanut as tradition demanded. I respectfully collected it and quietly slipped it into my pocket. Anybody that knows me knows I am always careful about what I eat whenever I enter a new environment.

After introductions, I explained that I had been sent by the doctor based in the USA who owned the project.

The king confirmed they had already spoken with him.

We were then taken to inspect the land.

As we moved around, some elders were discussing among themselves in a language they assumed I didn't understand.

Unknown to them, they were speaking Igala.

I later discovered that the community had strong Igala roots before administrative boundaries placed them in the East.

As they spoke, I heard one of them say:

"This one should not be rushed. Let us give him some time before we deal with him."

I kept a straight face and smiled.

Immediately, Muhammad pinched me from behind as if to say, "Oga, you hear wetin I hear?"

I simply nodded.

After returning home, I informed my client and arranged for a surveyor to carry out the measurements and beaconing.

A few days later, we returned to the community and completed the survey work successfully.

That night, as I was preparing to sleep, my phone rang.

It was the king.

He spoke softly.

"Omaye..." (which means brother in Igala).

"Please don't handle this project. I don't want anything to happen to you."

The moment I heard those words, fear gripped me.

For a king to call privately and issue such a warning meant there were things happening behind the scenes that I did not fully understand.

I thanked him sincerely and immediately informed my client about everything that had happened.

To my surprise, he simply laughed and said,

"No problem."

Not long after, he made a decision that probably saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Instead of proceeding with the farm project, he sold the land to one of the sons of the community.

The matter ended peacefully, and everyone moved on.

He later bought land in Kọgi state and started his plantation

Looking back today, I remain grateful to that king.

Leadership is not always about power. Sometimes, it is about quietly protecting a stranger who came into your land with good intentions.

Till today, whenever I remember that late-night call, I thank God for His protection and for the people He places in our path at the right time.

Not every opportunity is worth pursuing.

Sometimes, walking away is the greatest success.

There’s a difference between an emergency room and a trauma center.

A trauma center is where patients are taken who have had an accident or other major traumatic event. In this instance it’s one for pediatrics.

Do we have trauma centers in Nigeria?
