Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promises. - Hebrews 10:23
@yaygha The real question remains is he intentional? Does he not have insecuries? Is he a real man? Does he realise it's happy wife, happy life? Let's not get distracted by spiderman antics please.
@yaygha "me and my wife are equals". No wahala, na here we dey.
Till today dem dey see me as bad husband for church because in sunday school I said my wife and I can NEVER be equal. I'm her LORD. Finish.
Nobody suffer for marriage reach "God fearing husband".
The language of this WhatsApp TV is not far from that used by babes today
That's why any girl who says "if you can't afford me..." or "if you're not pressing..." is a prostitute
Gone are the days when you could marry a woman who doesn't love you, endure her contempt in private and still maintain the appearance of a loving marriage in public.
In this era of smartphones, you will have no privacy. She will use her disrespect for you as content - or you will do it yourself.
If you like, wear suit and tie everywhere, or do odogwu in public, your wife will disgrace you, and in some cases, without even realising it.
You will not be able to hide your shame
@yaygha I really love seeing these things. "Foolishness is an office and someone has to occupy it". For wisdom to hold any value, foolishness has to be abundant.
These men play a crucial role in the society. Long may it continue

@yaygha No need to lie to a girl. If she feels (read 'loves') you enough, she'll lie to herself to be with you.
If she cannot deal with your reality, she can bounce. You can't possibly fuck the sheer number of women available to you as a MAN.
Dear @FabrizioRomano, please keep up the good work. You transformed the transfer window and no one can take that away. Block the outside noise, it's simply envy. You remain the GOAT of transfers forever! ✌️
Reflections on My 65th Birthday
Today, July 19, 2026, marks my 65th birthday. At sixty-five, birthdays should naturally become moments of deep reflection - moments to look back with gratitude to Almighty God for His abundant graces, examine the journey so far, and ask how the remaining years can be devoted more meaningfully to the service of God and humanity.
Perhaps in countries where basic human needs have largely been met, where institutions function effectively, and where citizens enjoy a greater measure of security and dignity, such attainments may rightly call for elaborate celebrations. In Nigeria, however, our reality compels a different kind of reflection.
Our nation is blessed with enormous human and natural resources, yet millions of our people continue to struggle with challenges that demand our collective attention. We cannot afford to celebrate ourselves excessively while many around us are burdened by poverty, ill health, unemployment, and limited opportunities. Rather, occasions such as this should remind us of our responsibility to contribute towards building a nation where future generations can genuinely celebrate.
This is why I have always seen birthdays not merely as occasions for personal celebration, but as opportunities for sober reflection, thanksgiving, and a renewed commitment to service.
As I reflected today, I came to a simple conclusion: the greatest celebration of life is not what we receive from others, but the lives we can touch positively.
This conviction has guided my approach throughout my years in business, in the corporate world, and as Governor of Anambra State. In each of these roles, I have tried to see every privilege not as a personal entitlement but as an opportunity to improve the lives of others.
Whenever people or institutions sought to celebrate me with expensive gifts or elaborate ceremonies, I encouraged them instead to redirect those resources towards projects that would have a lasting impact. Over the years, this philosophy has resulted in the building of schools, hostel blocks, support to schools, and other facilities that continue to benefit the less privileged. I have always believed that resources meant for personal comfort can often be transformed into instruments of hope for many.
The greatest honour anyone can receive is not found in gifts, ceremonies, or public admiration, but in knowing that one’s life has contributed, however modestly, to making another person’s life better.
Today, therefore, I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of life and for bringing me to this important milestone of 65 years. I began the day with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Onitsha, thanking God for His grace, protection, guidance, and the countless blessings He has bestowed upon me over the years.
After the Mass, I proceeded to St. Raphael’s Hospital, Umueri, a small rural hospital in Anambra East Local Government Area. In furtherance of my belief that birthdays should be occasions for service rather than self-indulgence, I donated the sum of ₦10 million to support the hospital’s work of providing quality healthcare to the people.
As I was conducted around the hospital and saw patients in their moments of vulnerability, I was reminded again of our shared humanity. Some of those receiving care may not even have the financial means to settle their hospital bills, yet they deserve compassion, dignity, and access to quality healthcare. Their condition was a reminder that leadership, in its truest form, is about caring for people, especially those who cannot repay our kindness.
Hospitals and schools remain two of the greatest investments any society can make. A hospital preserves life; a school shapes the future. Supporting both is, therefore, not just an act of charity - it is an investment in humanity and in the future of our nation.
Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II
Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria
Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.
Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.
Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”
Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.
We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.
We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.
State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.
We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO
He doesn’t need to say a word. His eyes tell the whole story — pain, sorrow, and desperation💔.
In one night on July 12, James Yohanna lost everything. His wife, his six children, his daughter-in-law, and his 3-month-old granddaughter. Nine members of his household, slaughtered while they slept.
They were unarmed. They were not in conflict with anyone. They were simply resting in their own home — the one place that should have been safe.
In the dead of night, Islamic terrorists invaded. They blasted the door locks with bullets, kicked the doors open, and moved from room to room, executing his family one after another.
No one was spared. They shot adults and children at point-blank range — a 3-month-old baby, a 4-year-old, an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, a 14-year-old.
They took nothing. They burned nothing. They came for one purpose only: to take lives and attack their faith.
James, 42, narrowly escaped with one child, running blindly into the bush under a hail of gunfire. Before they pulled the trigger on his son, he heard them say: “Today you will taste real pain.”
The message was clear. They were not killed for anything they had done. They were killed because they are Christians.

Very good submission!
I’ll also pay good money to read a paper that tells me why Nigerian Women are so obsessed with ‘Money’ and why (given their obsession), they don’t learn to make it themselves.
