WITCH ONE (Witches of the West)
By Ngozi Ollawa (Nollawrites) @NgoziOllaw91726
She thought she was ordinary. Then, the ancient magic woke up.
Long ago, the fertile lands of Naijerya whispered with the raw magic of powerful witches. Then came the churches, hunting them down and driving the survivors into the shadows, burying their legacy far from human eyes.
There came Akunna, an Elder's daughter living an ordinary life, until a fateful summons awakens ancient, dormant blood within her. Suddenly, she is ripped from everything she knows and plunged into a breathtaking, perilous underworld of mythical creatures she never knew existed.
With forgotten powers surging through her veins, Akunna faces a dangerous choice: will she embrace her true destiny as a daughter of the West, or let a consuming hatred burn everything to the ground?

The unlucky are without a present guilt, and because they are guilty of no accountability to any fortune, it becomes a misfortune that posterity will not account for them in the histories of men that walked the earth.

Osun: When the People Stand, Democracy Wins
I warmly congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election and the good people of Osun State on this important democratic victory. They - Osun people - have spoken with courage and clarity, reaffirming that the power to choose their leaders belongs to the people. Through his commitment to the people, compassion for their needs, and the strength of his work and achievements in office, Governor @AAdeleke_01 has earned their renewed confidence and been entrusted once again with their mandate.
I particularly commend the courageous youths of Osun who rose to the occasion and peacefully defended their democratic mandate. Their vigilance and determination demonstrate that when citizens stand firmly to protect their votes, the forces of good can overcome the forces of darkness.
The lesson from Osun is clear: democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, conscious of their civic responsibility, and determined to ensure that their votes count. Every genuine vote must be respected, and every lawful mandate must be protected.
This is also a clarion call as we approach 2027. Nigerians must remain informed, participate actively, vote, and protect their votes. The Nigerian people are the ones experiencing hunger, deprivation, insecurity, and hardship; therefore, they are also the ones with the power, through their votes, to bring about the change that will end these conditions.
I urge all political actors to place the interests of the people above partisan considerations and to embrace peace, unity, and the rule of law. Elections should never be battles of violence, but contests of ideas, competence, character, and service.
May the Osun experience strengthen our confidence in the democratic process and inspire Nigerians everywhere to remain vigilant and committed to building a just, secure, prosperous, and truly people-centred nation.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
The Blind Eagle, always blind to the main issue. Anyway, we hope the Blind Eagle doesn’t hit the wall very soon.
Maybe one day, I will petition the ICPC to investigate the EFCC, and then petition the EFCC to investigate the ICPC, because it seems the Blind Eagle doesn’t even know its job.
When it comes to politicians, the Blind Eagle—the EFCC—seems to go blind. But when it comes to naira mutilation, Yahoo boys, and other minor offences, they suddenly become very active.
Anyway, maybe one day, they will have a better explanation.
By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society
A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.
We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.
If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.
That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.
History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.
A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO
“Where professors are aiding illiterates to rig elections... and people sing 'On your mandate we shall stand', whether stolen or not.”
Speaking at the 2026 Goodluck Jonathan Democracy Dialogue in Bauchi State, NDC Presidential Candidate Peter Obi decries the decline of democratic integrity and judicial independence in Nigeria, calling on citizens to reject the normalisation of electoral malpractice.
Omo! It seems BOLDLY and FIERCELY standing for the truth is part of the courses taught in the Seminary....
If this is the kind of fire Lapite faced in that meeting with bishops then I can understand why he's so dazed and dumfounded 😭😭😭
Just In: The DSS has arrested Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama following this interview on Channels TV, in which he boldly claimed to have evidence that Tinubu was paying Boko Haram and bandits, while also blocking media coverage of it.
“If you think you’re too big for politics, MC Oluomo will be your next governor. ‘Mushroom pikin will Governor your state, if you exclude yourself from its affairs.”
-Powerful message from Farotimi.✍️
You see how Argentina and Messi failed despite having the referees and FIFA, that's how Tinubu will fail despite having INEC and the security agencies.
