Please pray for my dad. He’s still on oxygen, and it’s been 5 days with no improvement. I’m tired and genuinely exhausted. I’ve cried so much over the past week. My human strength has really failed me💔💔
Everybody cannot do remote jobs. Everyone cannot be a tech bro/sis. Everybody will not press laptop. Stop using your struggle for survival as a template for millions of young people. Quit selling delusions!!!
It’s my birthday today, but I’m struggling to celebrate.
My friend Chukwudi Nzelu, a former Nigerian national Taekwondo athlete and champion, is fighting for his life against lung cancer.
Chukwudi once fought for Nigeria. Today, I’m asking Nigeria to fight for him.
We have funded his treatment as far as we could, but a break in treatment due to funds has seen his condition deteriorate. He needs to return to treatment urgently.
We need to raise at least ₦7 million to cover two immunotherapy injections, five radiation treatments and an extended hospital stay.
And Chukwudi became a father just last month.
His little girl deserves the chance to grow up with her father. He deserves the chance to watch her grow.
So this year, I have only one birthday wish:
Please help me keep my friend alive.
Anything helps. ₦1,000. ₦5,000. ₦10,000. And if you cannot give, please repost this until it reaches someone who can.

That is the only birthday gift I want today.

The media sector in Africa has failed us. We keep seeing news about Ukraine and Gaza but the genocide happening in neighbouring countries like Sudan and Congo has been grossly underreported.
We need to do better in Africa.
Are they not Nigerians ? Have they committed any crime? Is it because they’re not driving big cars and wearing expensive suits?
Lol Nigerians with their poor man version of classism.
I pity una
There is a sickness in the land that no hospital can cure.
A man stands in the open, sleeves rolled, voice unguarded, ready for the ordinary Nigerian to question him (Peter Obi) like a father answering his children at the evening fire. He offers the rarest currency in our politics: humility that does not demand applause. He makes himself small so the people may feel tall. And what do we do? We spit on the calabash of clean water and run after the one who kicks the bowl over, the one who walks with his chest swollen like a toad after rain, the one who believes the people are only useful when they are on their knees.
It is the same old madness. The same story our grandmothers told under the mango tree and we still refuse to hear.
A young woman is courted by two men. One speaks soft, works hard, shows respect, waits at the door like a man who knows a woman’s dignity is not for the taking. The other arrives with dust on his shoes and arrogance in his throat. He insults her in front of her friends, raises his hand when the mood turns, takes what he wants whether she says yes or no. And yet, night after night, she returns to the second man, lips swollen, eyes lowered, inventing excuses the way a thief invents alibis. “He is just stressed.” “He loves me in his own way.” “At least he is not boring.”
Tell me, is this love or is this the hunger of a soul that has grown addicted to the whip?
Our people have become that woman. We look at the humble man and call him weak. We look at the bully and call him strong. We cheer the one who tramples us because the sound of his boots feels like music we already know by heart. The proverb is old but it still cuts: *the dog that is used to being beaten will bark at the one who offers it meat.* We have barked so long at kindness that we no longer recognise the hand that does not strike.
Perhaps the average Nigerian is not merely a victim. Perhaps we are secret lovers of the chain. Perhaps oppression has become our preferred perfume and we spray it on ourselves every election season, smiling as the bottle runs dry. The hawk does not need to hunt when the chicks keep walking into its shadow and calling it shade.
So the question hangs in the air like smoke after a fire that refused to die: when a man finally opens the door and says, “Come, ask me anything,” why do we turn away and run toward the one who locks the door and laughs while we beg outside?
The answer, if we are honest, is uglier than any politician. It lives in us.
Today, I must bring to the attention of all Nigerians an alarming act of political intimidation. As the NDC candidate for Surulere 1, alongside Mr. Peter Obi and other NDC supporters, I was dismayed to see over 50 of my big campaign banners removed by the APC-led Lagos State Signage LASAA. This was carried in their truck with security escorts.These banners, placed in public spaces, were taken down while APC banners remained intact.
Their spokesperson of the LASAA told me that the poles were lagos government property and it has been assigned to “ Outdoor Practitioners”
They claim to take it Alausa, only for me to discover this evening that my banners are hidden somewhere in the surulere Local Government Area in onilegogoro
I ask: what right does the signage agency have to silence us during this crucial election season? INEC has lifted all bans to ensure free campaigning, and we will not accept this bullying. Meanwhile, Barakat,s banner is still intact , Fuad,s posters are all over the place
I call on all Nigerians to see what the APC government is doing to us and to question why they fear a fair contest.
I also call on the national leadership of the NDC to investigate this intimidation and demand that APC stop this bullying of opposition parties.
These are my banners they carried
Meanwhile these “Signage abusers of office left all the APC banners alone
Signed,
Dr. Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo
NDC, House of Reps, Surulere 1.
They have no criminal records, haven’t stolen a dime of federal government money, and are in good standing in society. Their only offence? Being ordinary, looking like the average Nigerian, and wanting Nigeria to be a better place.
Again, pay attention to Policy and Politics.
You see how a neglected road impacted your movement which led to the death of your fish and loss of money.
Now imagine if this fish farm is run with loans.
Hold your government.
This level of extreme superstition is exactly why religious leaders can manipulate people so easily…
Let me create a scene; So the holy spirit left the global economic crisis, inflation, and insecurity to go and negotiate with a landlord to evict you because of a tweet? Is that it? The ego you have to possess to think the universe revolves around your timeline commentary like this is insane, lol… delulu at its peak…
