Ok, morning all.

It’s gone from “he broke the ministerial code” to “he stole my idea”.

I have put my views across on a policy I’ve been working on for months (I have the receipts) in an Op Ed in the times. Give it a read, and let’s continue to discuss.

I won’t be intimidated to drop my views. Stay classy!

Oh and I’m at a wedding in San Francisco, but happy to talk more when I’m back (I promise that’s the Golden Gate Bridge hidden by the fog)

[Yannick Bolasie @YannickBolasie]

I also don’t want anyone to forget how at the end of last season all the people who talk on TV and on the net put the pressure on Arteta saying “he has to win the league this year” such a wild thing to say but he’s shut everyone up with the mentality he’s built there, especially when they would have all got the flamethrowers out if he didn’t do it this year, don’t let anyone pretend they wouldn’t love him as there manager

this set of players have shown some big hearts and quality! The day Arsenal went and got Declan Rice was the day they were going to compete yearly for the title! Gabriel and Saliba been the best partnership for a few years and Saka has been the starboy we all know he is! What a day what a moment….I was still wearing Wallabees in school kicking ball last time I got to celebrate 😂🏆 #Arsenal 👏🏿

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

We did it, together.

[Patrick Timmons @PatrickTimmons1]

For everyone who suffered through 8-2.

For everyone who half 6 at Stamford Bridge in Wenger’s 1,000th game.

For everyone who suffered through Baku.

For everyone who had to go to school after conceding 10 to Bayern.

Today is for you. Drink it all in. We deserve this.

[Fanibe Samuel @SamuelFanibe]

Champions of England!

Congratulations Arsenal.

Introducing Azamen glasshouse pt1... you can see what they all have in common.
It's all about their personal pockets and never about the growth or development or Nigerian football.
So long as they good, they don't care about Footballers/ athletes welfare!!!

Mercy Confessions...

There are seasons in your journey where what carries you is not your strength, not your status, not your strategies—but sheer, raw, undeserved mercy. These are your mercy moments—when heaven overrides history, when grace outruns guilt, and when God places you where your qualifications could never take you.

Romans 9 unveils the mystery of such moments: "It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." Paul wasn’t speaking theory—he was living proof. He had been a persecutor turned preacher, a blasphemer turned builder of churches. His ministry stood on one loud truth: I obtained mercy!

This confession is not a motivational chant—it is a declaration of divine intervention. It is a loud, faith-filled alignment with what God has already decided. It is how we agree with mercy, respond to mercy, and walk in mercy—deliberately, boldly, and gratefully.

This day, I give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 136:1)

Now, let the full confession begin.

1. I stand today—not by merit, not by might, not by lineage, not by law, but by mercy! Mercy found me when I was lost. Mercy crowned me when I had no claim. Mercy raised me when I was down in the dust. I am not here by effort—I am here by election. I am not here by hustle—I am here by His heart!

2. I declare boldly: It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy (Romans 9:16)! Let every voice of performance be silenced. Let every striving cease. I am not climbing to earn—I am standing to receive. I am the one mercy chose, and I say yes again today.

3. His Word has not failed—it cannot fail! (Romans 9:6). Even when people fall, His purpose stands. Even when the Church shakes, His covenant remains. Even when disappointment knocks, mercy answers. I declare: His Word is fire-tested and eternity-proof!

4. I am not a fluke in the plan of God. I am a grafted one. I was wild, untrained, unknown—but mercy reached for me. I am now connected to the covenant root, drinking from the wells of ancient promise. What I carry is not new—it is eternal, and mercy made me part of it!

5. I am the fruit of grace. I am the result of mercy. I am the story God is still writing. I have been chosen—not by committee, not by culture, not by credentials—but by the kindness of a merciful God. My life is proof that God picks the unlikely to carry the undeniable.

6. Like Isaac, I was born by promise, not by flesh. Like Jacob, I was chosen before I could qualify. Like Paul, I was arrested by mercy on the road of rebellion. I have no boast in the flesh—my boast is in the mercy that found me and will not let go!

7. I do not argue with God's mercy—I submit to it. I do not question His choices—I worship in awe. I do not compare callings—I celebrate grace. For who am I, O clay, to answer back to the Potter? I am a vessel of mercy, shaped for honour, filled with purpose!

8. When Pharaoh rises, I do not panic. When Moses is called, I do not complain. When Israel stumbles, I do not gloat. I see mercy orchestrating the story behind the scenes. I see sovereignty painting with colours my mind can’t mix. And I trust the Master Artist!

9. Mercy does not consult my past. Mercy does not require my perfection. Mercy does not need my permission. Mercy moves because God is good—not because I am great. And today, I stand under that unrelenting stream of divine goodness!

10. I no longer labour under the law. I no longer strive for approval. I no longer fear rejection. Mercy has removed the veil. I now see clearly: I am accepted in the Beloved. I am seated with Christ. I am rooted in righteousness—not by works, but by His will.

11. I declare that mercy rewrote my story. I was guilty, but mercy said "clean." I was lost, but mercy said "found." I was broken, but mercy said "whole." My entire life is a monument to what God can do when He chooses to show mercy.

[dele osunmakinde @deleosunmakinde]

12. By the mercies of God, I present my life as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). This is my reasonable response. My service flows from mercy, not from struggle. My posture flows from love, not legalism. I serve, not to be accepted—but because I am already beloved.

13. I now run the faith lane—not with fear, but with fire! I follow in the steps of Abraham, the father of faith. I believe what God says, and it is counted as righteousness. The law has been fulfilled in Christ. Now, I walk by faith, and mercy fuels every step!

14. I reject every voice that says I must earn what Christ already paid for. I rebuke the spirit of performance, the shadow of comparison, and the lie of inadequacy. Mercy made me worthy. Grace made me righteous. I walk in it, loud and unashamed!

15. Even when I stumble, I do not fall away. His mercy is my safety net. His love is my anchor. His Spirit keeps me from despair. The accuser may speak, but I know who speaks louder: Mercy has the final word.

16. I am not a visitor—I am an heir. I am not a substitute—I am a son. I am not barely making it—I am carried by mercy. I now walk, live, give, and lead from the overflow of divine favour. I do not just have mercy—I am full of it, and I pour it everywhere I go!

17. I receive mercy daily and I extend it freely. I will not hoard what heaven has lavished. I forgive, because I have been forgiven. I bless, because I have been blessed. I serve, because mercy made me more than a servant—it made me a son.

18. I will not speak against what God is grafting. I will not judge what I don’t understand. I will not mock another man’s mercy moment. Instead, I will worship at the wonder of it. I will honour the mystery of it. I will yield to the movement of it!

19. Today, I declare: Mercy is not a mood—it is my mode. Mercy is not seasonal—it is eternal. Mercy is not soft—it is sovereign. Mercy is not rare—it is the rhythm of redemption. I am living proof that God’s mercy outlasts judgment!

20. I am planted in mercy. I am rooted in righteousness. I am growing in grace. I am flourishing in favour. And I will not be moved. The same mercy that found me will finish what it started. He who began this good work will perfect it—because mercy never abandons what it begins.

21. So with a loud heart and lifted hands, I give thanks! Thanks for choosing me. Thanks for grafting me in. Thanks for calling me Your own. Thanks for a mercy that outruns my past, overwhelms my present, and secures my future. This day, I give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 136:1)

Amen and Amen!

Good morning, @CustomsNG.

I’m writing to congratulate you on finally successfully smuggling over 2,000 cars containing over 6,500,000kg of rice into the country in trickles through Badagry, with the major act happening from Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday morning.

The two videos appended below are a part of a larger set recorded at various times between 2:30am and 4am on Sunday, evidence of the flow of rice vehicles through Badagry.

After a certain Customs checkpoint, more than 60 cars parked at a particular spot were noticeable. Elsewhere, at a filling station, more than 50 cars with rice were also spotted. Many more drove into the country with unfettered access, all eventually easing their way through Customs checkpoints without hassle.

Many of those cars passed through Ijanikin, Mowo, Aradagun, Oko-Afo, Agbara and Ibereko, some slowing down around the bridge to Festac and others continuing on to other routes.

Congratulations once again and continue aiding and abetting the very crime you were created to tackle!

Please pray for TG Omori.

He has battled kidney failure for 1year.
His only brother donated a kidney for him and the transplant kidney didn’t work for him.

He will have to continue dialysis until he gets another kidney. Most people with kidney failure need 2-3 dialysis sessions per week for them to stay alive.

In Nigeria today,
Dialysis is about 80k per session.
That’s about 240k a week and 960k a month. This is apart from many miscellaneous expenses that keep coming along. I have not talked about money he will spend on medication and other health expenses he will have in between dialysis. So essentially we are talking about roughly 1.5-2million naira PER MONTH for the person with kidney failure to live optimally on dialysis and stay alive.

Abroad in the uk,
Dialysis done privately is about £300 per session. So this is a no-brainer except you are a millionaire in pounds.

Patients with kidney failure need regular dialysis to do the work of their failed kidneys. Dialysis do NOT cure the failed kidneys, it only buys the patient time until they find a donor kidney.

If they never find a donor kidney,
Or they find a donor kidney and the procedure fails or their body rejects it,
They have to continue dialysis or they may die if they run out of money to continue the dialysis.

I know people personally who had to sell land, sell houses, sell assets, sell jewelleries, and eventually died from the expenses of dialysis and kidney failure. It is an unfortunate and a very cruel unkind medical condition that will eventually kill its victims if they never find a donor with a kidney that works or if they are unable to afford regular dialysis on a longterm.

I take my time to say all of this:
To explain to you how financially draining kidney failure is and why we must all be aware of it to prevent it and live healthier longer lives.

How to know someone has kidney failure:
They may have swollen face, legs or arms.
They may have nausea or vomiting.
They may have generalised body itching.
They may have uncontrolled blood pressure problems. If you, your loved one or your family member has any of the mentioned symptoms, please see a doctor and get a comprehensive medical check up. Before the kidneys finally pack up and fail completely, there are usually simple signs that the body gives (which are what I mentioned above here).

How to prevent kidney failure:
Monitor your blood pressure yearly,
Monitor your blood sugar yearly,
Keep your weight under control,
Avoid excess alcohol use,
Stop smoking- of any kind,
Drink 2-3litres of water everyday,
Avoid using/injecting any hard drugs.
Stay away from unregulated street herbal drinks. Get yearly medical checks if you have people in your family with kidney failure.

Sometimes a person may develop kidney failure even when they have done absolutely nothing wrong. So pls don’t assume that having kidney failure is the person’s fault. Sometimes it may purely be as a result of a genetic disorder or an inherited medical condition.

Except you have lost a loved one to kidney failure or you have seen firsthand the trauma, the pain, the loss and the unspeakable suffering that kidney failure can cause, you may never truly understand how very important this message here is.

And as for the donated kidney:
No, it cannot be returned to the donor, if the recipient’s system rejects it. Because usually it would have spent time in the system of the recipient and will most likely be unsuitable for re-transplantation into anybody else. This sad reality only adds more to the pain and the torture of the whole process both for the recipient and the donor.

On a final note:
Please pray for TG Omori.
You may not have money to give him.
You may not have a kidney to give him.
But please say a prayer for him if you can.

There’s a really long road ahead for him.
And may God stand by him in this very difficult time.

Yesterday, I paid a courtesy visit to Daniel Joshua,Ex Nigerian International who played for the Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles.He has been Bedridden for 15 years in Kaduna,after he sustained a spinal cord injury as a result of the car crash that happened when he was driving to the Minna Eagles camp,on the invitation of the @thenff .
Niger State Government under the Leadership of Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu graciously paid for his treatment to a certain point and then stopped.The NFF just gave him 500k and abandoned him to his fate.
The man who suspended signing millions of euros contract with Atheletico Madrid to come and play for his country has been neglected by the sporting authorities of his country.The MON National honours award holder scored a major goal in the Korea 2007 World Cup victory.
Our Government demands for patriotism from our Sportsmen and Women and abandon them in their moments of need.
This new Government and the new leadership of the @thenff should come to his aid and others in similar situations.

[OgaNlaMedia 🇳🇬 @OgaNlaMedia]

This Randy Waldrum response to the NFF is BRUTAL.

I think I should stay home and cancel this World Cup investment 😭
