Be honest nd truthfull,help the needy and live a righteous life.

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

One of the deepest reasons I cannot leave Nigeria is my family; and I do not mean my wives and children. I mean my parents and my siblings.
I do not imagine a life so far away that I cannot wake up one morning and simply decide, “Today I will go and see my parents.” That freedom, that nearness, that quiet possibility of presence, is not something I am willing to trade for any opportunity abroad.

I have had friends who told me: Adam, Nigeria is not for you. You can make a lot more money and achieve a lot more professionally, outside Nigeria. To me, that’s not the kind of life or career fulfilment I want. As one of my mentors always tells me: you can achieve bigger things even from small places. This has made me more resolute in achieving it all in Nigeria, with my family around me, in the shortest possible distance.

There is a particular comfort in knowing that the people who knew you before the world knew your name are still within reach. The ones who watched you crawl, who corrected you when you went astray, who celebrated every small victory long before the certificates and the titles arrived. To be hours, not continents, away from them is a form of wealth that money cannot buy and distance steadily erodes.

I have seen too many people return home only for funerals. I have watched the slow regret that settles when parents grow older and the visits become fewer, shorter, and more formal. I do not want that story for myself. I want to still be able to walk into their house without announcement, to sit and talk without the pressure of limited days, to share ordinary moments that only proximity makes possible.

My siblings are part of that same circle. We are not just relatives; we are the living archive of one another’s childhood. The jokes that need no explanation, the shared memories that still make us laugh, the quiet understanding that comes from having been raised under the same roof and the same values. Distance does not destroy love, but it changes the texture of it. I prefer the texture that remains close.

This is not sentimentality. It is a deliberate choice about the kind of life I want to live. Success that requires permanent separation from the people who formed me feels incomplete. I can travel. I can explore. I can even work across borders when necessary. But the centre of my life remains here, Nigeria, within reach of the people who matter most in the deepest, oldest sense.

Some will call it limitation. I call it rootedness and I am content with that.

Ogbeni, defending a government should never require downplaying the daily realities millions of Nigerians are facing.

No one is denying the government's right to respond to criticism. The real question is whether those responses address the hardship people are experiencing or simply attempt to change the narrative.

A commendation from a foreign leader or diplomatic engagement does not erase the struggles of ordinary Nigerians. The true measure of any administration is not the praise it receives abroad but the quality of life of its citizens at home.

Yes, reforms can be difficult. But after more than three years, Nigerians have every right to ask: Where are the corresponding improvements in their daily lives? Food prices remain extremely high, inflation has severely reduced purchasing power, many businesses have shut down under the weight of operating costs, unemployment remains a major concern, and insecurity continues to claim lives across different parts of the country. These are not opposition talking points, they are realities many Nigerians experience every day.

Citing projects like student loans, road construction, and agricultural initiatives is fair, but those achievements should not be used to dismiss the legitimate concerns raised by religious leaders, civil society groups, economists, or ordinary citizens. A government can implement projects and still be held accountable for areas where it is falling short.

The Catholic Bishops' Conference did not invent hunger, rising living costs, or insecurity. They echoed concerns that millions of Nigerians have expressed repeatedly. Dismissing those concerns as bias does not make them disappear.

Most importantly, this is not about religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation. It is about governance and accountability. Every administration deserves credit for what it gets right, but it must also accept responsibility for what it gets wrong.

Those who continue to defend every policy without acknowledging the pain many citizens are enduring risk becoming defenders of political interests rather than advocates for the Nigerian people.

The truth is simple: Nigerians are not asking for propaganda; they are asking for results. History will judge this administration not by the volume of its defenders, but by whether the lives of ordinary Nigerians genuinely improved under its leadership.

Just because you are benefiting from this administration doesn't mean other people are not going through hell just to survive.

Bruno Guimaraes is a fine midfielder technically, exceptional in possession under pressure, but he’s so much more, he’s an energiser, a leader, a warrior, a chaser of lost balls and lost causes. The charismatic Brazilian will be a huge loss to Newcastle United tactically, technically and also emotionally.

His departure will hurt more than Sandro Tonali’s or Anthony Gordon’s. Guimaraes “got” Newcastle, understood the fans, loved their passion, and enjoyed a special city. But from the moment he reflected on his ambitions at 28, how they could best be met, and signalled his desire to move on respectfully, the die was cast, it was all about the size and timing of the deal.

Newcastle are absolutely right to hold out for an acceptable bid from Arsenal that reflects Guimaraes’ importance to them on and off the field. And that, in modern transfer parlance, begins with an 8 not a 7. In the current frenzied market, with two years left on a contract, and Tonali trading for £92m (albeit two years younger), Guimaraes is an £80m player (75+5).

He strengthens Arsenal further. As they face a long campaign on two fronts, Premier League and Champions League, plus the two cups, Arsenal need the dynamism of Guimaraes. He can play 6 or 8 (prefers 8). Arsenal defenders will appreciate his tenacious work in front of them. Their attackers will feed off his line-breaking passes. Their fans will love his commitment and technical quality.

He’ll dovetail well with Declan Rice, bringing even more power to the champions’ engine room. What it means to Martin Zubimendi, the versatile Mikel Merino and also to Myles Lewis-Skelly’s development is a debate, of course. His arrival would allow Mikel Arteta to ease Rice’s huge workload. If the deal does go through, Guimaraes is a signing that strengthens the belief that Arsenal will retain the title. #AFC #NUFC
