Tonight, our nation has reason to give thanks.

The children and teachers abducted by Ansaru terrorists in Oyo State have been rescued by our security forces, alive and unharmed. No ransom was paid. No concession was made.

I salute every officer and operative whose courage, discipline, and professionalism made this possible.

To those who seek to spread fear through terror, know that the Nigerian state will pursue you relentlessly. We will protect our people, defend our communities, and never relent until peace and security prevail across our country.

Ladies and gentlemen, look at the bird in the first frame. It's known as a greater honeyguide. Honeyguides are birds that guide humans or honey badgers to honeycombs. Once the humans harvest the honey, honeyguides settle for the wax comb and developing larvae left behind.

That doesn't make them a bad bird, right? Well, that's not all they're known for. I've written and made documentaries about cuckoo birds in the past. Cuckoos are known as brood parasites. These are birds who don't incubate their own eggs. They lay eggs into the nest of other unsuspecting birds. Honey guides are also like that, but with a twist.

A female honeyguide never builds a nest or raises her own chicks. Instead, she secretly watches the nests of birds such as bee eaters, barbets, hoopoes, kingfishers, and woodhoopoes. When the host parents briefly leave, she slips into the nest, punctures or removes one of their eggs to reduce future competition, lays her own egg, and disappears forever. The unsuspecting foster parents then incubate the honeyguide's egg as though it were their own.

The honeyguide embryo develops unusually fast, allowing its egg to hatch one to three days before the host's eggs. This early start gives the chick a major advantage in size and strength before the foster parents notice anything unusual.

Unlike most baby birds, the newly hatched honeyguide is born with two sharp, backward pointing hooks on the tip of its upper beak (check second picture). These hooks serve one purpose only: killing. Although the chick is blind, featherless, and only a few hours old, it instinctively searches the nest for movement. When it finds another chick, it repeatedly bites, stabs, and shakes it for several minutes until the victim dies from puncture wounds or internal injuries. If some host eggs hatch later, the honeyguide kills those chicks as well.

Researchers have found nests where every single host chick was killed this way. Unlike a cuckoo chick, which simply pushes eggs or nestlings out of the nest, the honeyguide murders its rivals directly (check image 3).

Within a few days, the deadly hooks begin to shrink, and by the time the young bird leaves the nest, they have disappeared completely. As an adult, there is no visible sign that it once possessed these specialized weapons.

The foster parents never realize they have been deceived. Even after all of their own chicks have mysteriously disappeared, they continue feeding and caring for the honeyguide until it is fully grown. In effect, they spend weeks raising the very bird that killed their entire brood.

This brutal behavior evolved for a simple reason: food. A nest can only support a limited number of chicks. If the honeyguide had to compete with its foster siblings, it might not receive enough food to survive. By eliminating every rival, it receives all the food and parental care, greatly increasing its chances of reaching adulthood and reproducing.

There you have it. Thank you!

If there is an “Olodo Uprising,” that is a demand problem, not a supply one.

When people complain about the ubiquity of something that exists precisely because of their interest in it, the complaint is not an indictment of the thing, it is a mirror held up to the complainant.

If no such uprising is actually underway, the uproar is theatre. If it is, the audience needs to look inward before looking outward.

Peller and those like him found a niche and are thriving in it. It is responsiveness to a market. The market does what it does. If the public is fascinated by them, their fascination cannot logically be their fault. You do not blame the sun for rising.

Those who are genuinely irked have options. More options, in fact, than any generation before them. There has never been a point in human history with such an avalanche of alternatives for whatever you crave, at whatever depth you want it. The algorithm will take you exactly where you point it.

In the world of Peller, a million other interests exist. It is still a free world to choose what works for you.

I took that challenge in 2017 and visited the war zone around Malam Fatori, Gubio, Damasak, Marte, Gudumbali, Baga, Chikungudu and other locations etc. I spent time in and out of the zone until 2019. Between 2019 and 2020, I was in Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina. The experience changed my perception of service and sacrifice.

Thank you, Nigerian Army for keeping us safe

After Messi scored a hat-trick and walked off to a standing ovation, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni sat on the bench with tears in his eyes. He tried to stay strong, but the emotion was too heavy. Then Messi came over, hugged him, and Scaloni completely broke down. 🇦🇷🥺

He later explained why he was crying:

"I cried because it's Messi's last World Cup, it's coming to an end, and every time I think about it, I start to cry. It's a privilege to watch this guy play."

For almost two decades, Messi has made millions of people fall in love with football.

Now even his own coach cannot hold back the tears because he knows we are watching the final pages of a story we may never see again.

Enjoy Messi while he is still here. One day, we will tell our children we watched magic live. 🐐💔⚽️

No matter what it will cost you, please avoid going to jail, especially in a country like Nigeria. Aside that the general living condition in prison will make your live a million times worse than it was before going to prison, your post-prison life might be extra worse.

Avoid crimes, with everything you have.

Igbos have contributed to the development of Lagos, yes, just like every other tribe; But Lagos has also given back to the Igbos who reside there. If the state wasn't so welcoming and profitable, people won't be relocating there in large numbers. Facts!

That said, the state belongs to the Yorubas 100%, point blank period; It is located in the South-West making it geographically a Yoruba Land, and historically speaking it is also a Yoruba land. Lagos doesn't even share borders with the South-East so the claim of ownership is invalid.

Now Illbliss asks "why is it always a problem when it's the igbos?" and that's a good question; The anwser is quite simple, people like him make it an issue by trying to claim Lagos forgetting that it is not in their rights to do so. You can't be loud and disrespectful and expect positive energy.

I have met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi the last time and will be voting PBAT next year.

I have also met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi last time but will sit out this election because Peter Obi hasn’t been as inspiring as he was in 2023 and they do not consider the alternatives as better.

I haven’t met a single PBAT supporter that is now supporting Peter Obi or any other candidate( this is my reality)

I believe this administration hasn’t lived up to certain hype but I cannot deny that it’s been reform minded. Helping correct structural issues that have plagued this country far too long.
For example, the recent passage of the state policing bill is by no means a mean feat. That this administration makes it look easy or don’t blow their trumpet so loudly does not diminish the huge significance of the bill and the tireless work that they put into it.

The implementation of the Nigeria Payments System Vision 2028 ( championed by CBN) is another policy that has gone under the radar(I believe we should all read about the policy) . This is one policy that will revolutionize our financial system for good. One that will birth several financial innovation and products. There is no eradication of poverty without financial inclusion and it appears CBN is on an articulated agenda towards a sustainable path.

For some of us, there are enough reasons to stick around this current administration. The alternatives aren’t as inspiring and simply do not have what it takes to out perform this current administration.

Some cabals are afraid of PBAT's re-election and they are desperate.

If a man who is facing re-election can damn the consequences of politics unlike his predecessors to remove subsidy, break the BDC black market racketeering, NNPC 100% remittance to FAAC ( these 3 items were the biggest heist against the Nigerian economy and its citizens )

He is pushing to disrupt the politics at the local level with LG Autonomy that will empower LG and stop them from being stooges of governors.

States Police, a decentralised security architecture with the establishment of Police Academies and Army Depots in different regions.

Tax reform and internal sharing of VAT to favour Derivation. Wealth should be distributed to align more with where it is derived.

Creation of other regional development commissions.

No President has been bold enough to tackle these issues since 1999.

"What will he do when he is not facing re-election" ?

There is nothing special in what they are doing. What is happening here is just a type of black magic called Sihr Al-Hijabah (protection sorcery). It is powered by a specific class of ground Jinn known as the Ghawas.

What they do is illusion. The sorcerer prepares a concoction using dark, symbolic materials designed to mock the natural order.

They most times use blackened gunpowder, iron filings, the crushed skull of a venomous viper, and the sap of a thorny desert tree. Then they mix them together with sacrificial blood. This mixture will then be rubbed into deep micro-incisions made on the skin or worn as an encased leather talisman (Ta'weez).

This juju works by invoking the Jin before the show. And the moment the heavy blade swings toward the body, the Ghawas creates a very dense, invisible cushion of force directly between the knife and the skin.

To your eyes, it looks like the sharp edge is pressing hard against the flesh, but it is actually hitting an invisible barrier that prevents the knife from making any impact on the skin.

The quickest thing that spoils this juju is basic impurity. If the guy touches a woman on her period, or walks into a dirty toilet with his right foot while calling on God, or if someone nearby can recite Ayat al-Kursi out loud, the Jinn will flee the scene instantly to save itself.

The moment the Jinn runs away, that invisible cushion vanishes, and the knife will slice through that skin like soft bread.

Don’t try it o 😂

Allah knows best.

If I was 32 years old, living in the UK, had no investments, and my goal was to retire before 55, here's exactly what I'd do starting tomorrow:

1. Accept that the plan needs to be intentional.
At 32 with no investments, you probably don't have time for "I'll start next year."
That's not shame. It's just maths. The good news? You still have enough time for compound growth to do serious work if you move now.
