My Thoughts

Silence is not always golden

We look for things that divide us but look at the true image of Jesus, he looks like a combination of every race ~ a reflection of oneness

“Nigerians, I’m Heartbroken Right Now. My Brother, Who Has Served In The Nigerian Army Since He Was 20 Years Old, Has Died. Now, The Army Told Us They Cannot Bring His Body Home For Us Unless We Pay ₦2 Million. They Said If We Don’t Send The Money, They Won’t Bring Him Back For Burial. My Father Was Also a Soldier Before He Died, And This Situation Is Very Painful For Our Family. I Never Imagined The Nigerian Army Would Deteriorate To This Point.” ~ Lady Reacts 💔🇳🇬

@AnambraNewMedia Just look at what you are shamelessly calling ultra- modern

“Christianity Began To Deteriorate In Nigeria The Moment Some Christian Preachers Including Some Catholic Priests Started Telling People, Especially Those Who Were Suffering, That Believing In Christ Would Automatically Bring Breakthroughs, Miracles, And An End To Their Sufferings.” ~ Bishop Godfrey I.

I write this with pain in my heart.

On April 23, 2026, I bought a car on loan after trading in my former car, which had become a constant source of problems. I still had an outstanding balance of ₦4.5 million to pay.

On April 28, 2026, I was taken away by the Nigerian Army under the guise of DSS officials. For three days in their custody, I was subjected to treatment that left deep scars on me physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Throughout those three days, I remained handcuffed and blindfolded. During the day, I was left under the scorching sun for hours without water. I begged and cried for water, but nobody gave me any. At night, I was kept in an extremely cold room where I would cry and plead for help, but no one responded. I also received random slaps from unidentified individuals.

Even after the court granted me bail, the trauma did not end. I still wake up suddenly at night, struggling to sleep as memories of those days continue to haunt me.

What breaks my heart even more is that the car I bought on loan was damaged. Sometimes I ask myself: what exactly did I do to deserve such treatment?

My only “offence” was speaking up and asking that my brothers and sisters serving in the military should be properly fed and cared for.

Today, I can truly say that Nigeria happened to me.

But despite everything, one thing remains certain:

Justice can never be cracked.

🚨𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Roman Molina provides a fresh update on Somali referee Omar Arteh;

🗣️ “Omar obtained a diplomatic passport and traveled directly, only to be stopped, questioned, and so on. They took his phone and tablet from him and haven't returned them to him yet, and he was deported from U.S. soil on a flight headed to Turkey.”

“FIFA issued a statement afterward saying ‘we cannot intervene in countries' immigration procedures,’ but in reality, FIFA did intervene in immigration procedures during the last World Cup in Qatar. But it seems like everything is measured with two different standards.”

“FIFA knows that the U.S. administration does whatever it wants, so we could have imagined they'd say to themselves: ‘Alright, let's play it safe and assign him to officiate matches in Mexico or Canada.’ But no, because FIFA is ruled by sheer incompetence.” 👀🥲

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Somali referee Omar Artan was questioned for 11 hours (!) before being denied entry.

“I am just a referee trying to live my biggest dream: going to the World Cup, I am really, really disappointed. I had the correct documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.”

The Fall of DSTV

DSTV raised its subscription prices three times in two years.

Then it lost 1.4 million Nigerian subscribers in those same two years.

Then it slashed its decoder price by 50% to beg those subscribers to come back.

Some people will call it business strategy but this is a company eating itself alive and wondering why it is hungry.

The numbers are brutal.

MultiChoice lost 2.8 million active subscribers across Africa over two financial years. 1.2 million in 2025 alone. An 8% year on year decline. 

Nigeria accounted for 77% of subscriber losses across all of MultiChoice’s African operations outside South Africa. The Rest of Africa base collapsed from 9.3 million in 2023 to 7.5 million in 2025. 

Nigeria did not just leave DSTV, they buried it and the content is leaving with the subscribers.

BET Africa and MTV Base shut down January 2026. CBS Reality and CBS Justice went December 2025. CNN International, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, TNT Africa, Food Network and several others were all at risk of removal. 

A platform charging premium prices while removing the channels people subscribed for is not a product anymore but a subscription to disappointment.

DSTV built its Nigerian dominance on a monopoly with no serious competition for decades. So it did what every monopoly does when it feels untouchable. It raised prices whenever it wanted, reduced value whenever it could, and treated Nigerian subscribers like they had no alternative.

Then Netflix arrived. Then YouTube got faster. Then data became more accessible. Then the naira collapsed and Nigerians had to choose between DSTV and eating.

Omo we chose eating.

MultiChoice responded by cutting decoder prices from N20,000 to N10,000 and launching a promotional campaign called “We Got You”.

“We Got You” from the same company that raised your subscription three times in 24 months, removed your favourite channels, and treated your complaints like background noise.

They did not get you, they lost you and now they are running after you with a discount like an ex who only calls when they realise you moved on.

DSTV is not falling because of Netflix or the economy.

It is falling because it spent twenty years treating Nigerian consumers with contempt and assumed loyalty was the same thing as having no choice.

Nigerians finally got a choice but not MultiChoice

[My Thoughts @Forchebs]

But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:25

Nigeria because of politics, ethnicity claim to be rehabilitating terrorists while their victims and family are still suffering;

Terribly wrong.

RCCG Pastor dey invoke deity 😂

[My Thoughts @Forchebs]

@frmarcellinus And God can't feel that emptiness unless you are in the four walls of a Church?

My best moments with God is when I'm alone with him, no dramatics, no distractions.

I do both Church and alone - it's not by force.

"Record me if you like, we will invoke our Lagos deities to chase you Igbo people out of Lagos. We will inherit all you Igbos in Lagos" -Remi Tinubu.

Remi Tinubu made this obnoxious shameful statement 2019. She was ordained pastor by RCCG in 2018.

SHAME.

[Adetutu Balogun, MBA @Tutsy22]

This is the work of Buhari and @ChibuikeAmaechi — the same nuisance who ran to the ADC. You all embraced him in the name of forming an opposition.

The majority of Nigerians are deeply in love with their oppressors; that’s why looters are never held accountable

[My Thoughts @Forchebs]

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

[Ada Ehi @AdaEhiMoses]

If you don’t have your voters card and you are a Christian, brethren

You are a big part of the problem. Because tell me how God is supposed help us bring about a positive change democratically? God is not a cheat!

You have faith, where are your works!

[Ada Ehi @AdaEhiMoses]

Excellent performance is wayyyy cheaper than rigging

Just a fraction of the monies spent coercing followers would have delivered good governance and the good will needed for a sure return to office

Revd Dr Olaleye Oluwafemi is a good man but a fake pastor

It is a sad reality but it is what is.

[My Thoughts @Forchebs]

@vian337 Exactly, he might be a good man but no business with the pulpit.

He's so worldly, no way he's not a fake Pastor

[WeSabiWay.Online @WeSabiWayOnline]

@HonShield Definitely like Atiku who deleted his tweets on Deborah

@_Bunchus @OurFavOnlineDoc Farming because everyone has land to farm on

Trade by barter when there no garri to trade for rice

SOLUTION: Pulpit is a powerful platform, you teach how to choose the right spouse/Career etc, use same pulpit to teach members the right character to look for in choosing a leader
