My opponent has a manifesto of grievances; I have a blueprint. It is not enough to list what is wrong; we must show how to make it right. Grievances describe the problems. A blueprint sets out the priorities, the steps and the work ahead.

(Mr Funny) is saying Nigerians should stop focusing only on the President. He is calling on people to also hold their Governors, Local Government Chairmen and other leaders responsible for lack of development in their own states and communities because they also receive allocations to do the work.
A journalist is in Kuje prison tonight for asking where public money went as alleged.
On Tuesday, a Federal High Court in Abuja remanded FIJ reporter Daniel Ojukwu after he pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of cyberstalking and criminal defamation. The charges were filed by the IGP in 2024 on a petition from Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, Late President Buhari's former SDGs aide.
In Nov 2023, FIJ reported that ₦147.1m was paid to build classrooms and a skills centre at Ajeromi Primary School, Lagos. FIJ visited and found a run-down school with no visible sign of the work, and a mosque where the school should have been. Other reports questioned a ₦47.5m contract and solar panels that stopped working within a week.
His bail application was not heard because it was filed only the day before. The court also declined to let him stay on police bail. He stays in Kuje until the hearing on 1 Dec. Police also told the court FIJ founder Fisayo Soyombo was "at large" and asked for a bench warrant. The judge refused, as he had never been brought before the court. Soyombo says his email is public and he will appear if served.
This is not his first time. In May 2024, police picked Ojukwu up in Lagos and held him for 10 days over the same stories, until public outcry freed him. Amnesty International Nigeria is now calling for his immediate release.
If a report is false, rebut it with facts and records. Prison for reporting on public spending should worry every Nigerian, whatever party you support. Rebut the story, don't jail the reporter in the spirit of press freedom. (Unless of course it’s an obvious case of malicious publication based entirely on falsehood). 🫵🏼🇳🇬
Good evening, everyone. That's her! Wow, I'm so proud of her. When you invest knowledge in young people, you empower them to think, question, and contribute meaningfully to society.
My mother turns 80 today. 🎉
She raised five solid children in Ilesa, starred in “Agbara Nla”, and gave me my school nickname, “Aro Meta.”
Her name, Ayodele, means “joy has come home.” For 80 years, she has been exactly that.
Happy birthday, Mama.
I Love You ❤️

I’ve said it several times that I supported Peter Obi in 2022/23 because of his economic policies.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Tinubu got into power and started implementing those policies I had looked forward to Obi implementing.
I publicly backed those policies, cause I believe they were in the best interest of the country.
On the other hand, the same Peter Obi I once supported started speaking against these policies he once campaigned with.
I publicly called out that deceitful behaviour.
Ladies and gentlemen, that’s how I became an APC data boy.
The guy actually made valid points. But that doesn’t mean he spoke without errors. And that is exactly what she should have focused on.
It’s not as if Tinubu has been so perfect that there are no shortcomings to highlight, but we all know that’s not why many of you are against him. 😂
For example, you can agree with the removal of fuel subsidy while still questioning how poorly prepared the government was to cushion its impact on Nigerians.
We all know what happens when fuel prices go up. Almost everything becomes more expensive, from food items to construction materials and transportation. The question, therefore, is whether the government did enough to mitigate the ripple effects on ordinary Nigerians.
You could also talk about the security situation and question the government’s performance in that regard. But no. Rather than engage with the substance of his argument, she resorted to unnecessary gaslighting.
Tinubu has not been perfect, because no one is. But neither do I believe that any of the presidential aspirants would necessarily have done a better job, Obi included.
@AbuAzeezAbolaji@HandofArsenal He is needed now. That Gabriel fall against everton is an indication. Gabriel also needs rest like wise others. Saliba played the Gabriel role for France and did well.
If Jesus tarries and you live till ripe old age? RCCG will outlive you...Worse was said about CAC when the younger tribe moved into RCCG. The Holy-Ghost movement of the 70's/80's that birthed many charismatic denominations/churches didn't give the Anglican/Baptist/Methodist etc... a chance with massive youth outflux. The white garments were even worse. They're all still here and guess what? They're now even waxing much stronger noiselessly.
It might interest you to know that most of the once vibrant, highly impressionable and very mobile youths, who are now in mid-life are now running back to their home churches. I say again to you - There will be movements. That's the beauty of the body, but RCCG is going nowhere. I am not an RCCG member.
As a pastor, I can tell you this from personal experience: a significant percentage of the financial responsibilities of many churches is carried by a relatively small percentage of their members, sometimes just about 20%.
Yet, when you come online and see the outrage, insults and endless arguments about giving money to the church, you would think everybody is contributing financially.
The noise about church money is often louder than the actual giving.
Many people enjoy the benefits of a functioning church, but only a few consistently take responsibility for keeping things running.
Of course, not everyone has the same financial capacity, and nobody should be manipulated into giving. But we must also be honest enough to acknowledge that churches do not run on good intentions alone.
The irony is that when you see the level of outrage about church giving, you go think say na everybody dey give.
You knew all of these things, yet you held a meeting with the MD of NELFUND and prior meetings with two VCs in the South East, all to ensure that students from the South East benefited from this stupid policy.
In your own words, you were among those who thought it wasn’t real and dismissed it as propaganda. Now, it’s election season, and suddenly, it’s stupid.
You were part of the stupid people back then, too.
