Dear @inecnigeria , thank you for releasing the results from 3,612 Polling Units in the #Osun Governorship Elections i.e. 95.99% of the results by 2am approx. Please release the results of the remaining 151 Polling Units. We are still watching. We also believe you owe the nation an explanation as to why it took you longer to collate the last 13% of the results than it took to collate the first 87%. Was there a "glitch" ? #Osunvotes2026 #GoNigeria

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

Not sure how to thank Alex again.

I guarantee you one of these kids will be a founder/CEO of a multi-million-dollar corporation and will directly credit these sessions as how he/she got to the top

Well done @winexviv

@AkintoyePeace @AskMichaelTaiwo Safety! 🤔

[Gabriel Ojile @Gaby_Watchman]

@AskMichaelTaiwo Interesting time, sir. The good thing is that the aforementioned countries have high level of safety and good protection for public and private property.

Egypt is building Africa's largest nuclear power plant right now.

El Dabaa. Four reactors. 4,800 megawatts. First reactor online by 2028.

They just installed the reactor pressure vessel for Unit 2, seven months after Unit 1.

Kenya plans 3,000 MW of nuclear. South Africa is scoping a 5,200 MW addition. Eight African countries now have active nuclear energy plans.

The narrative that Africa cannot do hard infrastructure is dying in real time.

The continent is not choosing between solar and nuclear. It is choosing both.

Not spend first, then save what is left.

The most valuable real estate on earth is the six inches between your ears.

Most people rent it out to strangers on the internet, for free, all day long.

Guard your attention like the asset it is.

THIS IS TOO DEEP FROM MESSI 😭

MESSI'S TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE DAD!!!

LEO MESSI ON IG: 👇

"Dad, I still can’t believe you’re gone. It hasn’t sunk in, or rather, I don’t want it to. It’s so hard for me to imagine that I’m never going to see you again, that we’re never going to talk again. I know you were suffering and that this is for the best, but you left us far too soon. We still had so much left to enjoy together.

"You kept asking me to play in one last World Cup, and just days before it began was when your condition got worse. It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at a tournament, but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel. I kept telling you we were going to reach the final so you could make the trip.

"After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was. Even so, I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, to give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games.

"We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t. My legs just couldn’t give me any more. This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t. I never managed to feel physically right.

"When I got back, you thought we had lost the final on penalties. We couldn’t talk about anything that had happened. You weren’t able to enjoy any of it. We didn’t become champions, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it.

"I’m telling you all this because it was the only thing we never got the chance to talk about. You already know everything else. We spoke every day and saw each other whenever my commitments allowed us to.

"I don’t know what I’m going to do without you. I don’t know how to keep going. All I ever did was play football, and now I have serious doubts about whether I’ll keep doing it for much longer. You were by my side from the very beginning, and there was so little left until the end. Why couldn’t you hold on just a little longer so we could finish it together?

I know your happiness came from seeing your family doing well, your wife, your children and, above all, without anyone else knowing, from watching me play…

"It had always been that way since I was little. You took me to every training session as soon as you got home from work. Mom took me to many of them because you were working.

"And of course, you never missed a single match. How much you suffered watching me, and how much you enjoyed it, even though you never gave me too much praise.

"You were my dad, my friend, and my representative. You always knew exactly who you needed to be in every moment, and you were never wrong about anything. Despite some arguments or disagreements, you were always right. In the end, things always turned out the way you said they would.

"I’m going to miss you so much, but you’ll always be present, especially in the way I raise my children, because I teach them and raise them the way you and Mom raised me.

"Rest in peace and watch over us from above, just as you did here. Thank you for everything.

"I love you, Dad. ❤️"

I have so much respect for writers due to my appreciation of literary excellence. I see some sentences and I pause to applaud the depth of the mental capacity to put that to paper.

Some sentences are like a beautiful long yard pass.

Prediction.

Within two years, can you use AI well will be a bigger hiring filter than most degrees.

Build the muscle now, while it is still a rare skill and not yet a basic requirement.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

'I Never Said Military Should Reject Salary Increase'.

I wish to address a recent
report that falsely attributes a statement to me, suggesting that Nigerian soldiers should refuse any salary increments until after the elections. This assertion is entirely untrue.

My profound respect for our security forces, particularly the Nigerian Army personnel who diligently serve and protect our nation under challenging conditions, is unwavering. I have consistently advocated for the adequate provision of equipment, motivation, and protection for our security personnel.

My concern was palpable when soldiers were lost to insurgents due to a delayed rescue effort, prompting me to question how those defending us could be left vulnerable in their time of need.

Should I be elected President, the well-being, resources, safety, and honour of our soldiers will be a paramount priority. Those who ensure Nigeria's security must never be relegated to a secondary concern. Our soldiers are deserving of our utmost respect, unwavering support, and a government that will unequivocally stand by them. Under my leadership, scenarios where our servicemen and women are left unprotected in the face of peril will be eradicated.

I implore the Nigerian populace to dismiss this misleading report. I remain committed to articulating a clear and consistent vision for a secure and prosperous Nigeria. The realisation of a new and secure Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO

FINANCE TIP

Never ever borrow to start a business from scratch.

Never.

You will be frustrated. It’s not always as it seems on paper.

Always have something on ground before taking a loan for that business.

Nigeria is short roughly 28 million homes.

Not 28 thousand. Twenty-eight million.

Enough missing housing to shelter more people than the entire populations of Ghana and South Africa combined.

The country builds about 100,000 homes a year.

It needs 800,000.

And even if the homes existed, most people could not buy them. Mortgage rates run from 20 to 32 percent, and home loans are barely 1 percent of the economy.

Here is the way to see it.

A shortage this large is not only a crisis. It is one of the biggest business opportunities on the continent.

Affordable housing. Cheaper building methods. Honest mortgage finance.

Whoever cracks how to build well and cheaply for the many, instead of luxury towers for the few, will make a fortune and house a nation at the same time.

[Sarkin Mota @SarkinMota_AMF]

just so we’re clear: are you now saying that the primaries conducted by the same party that produced your principal, who was the sitting President at the time, were neither free, fair nor credible?
