This morning broke my heart.

I saw the makeup artist on my street packing her studio equipments into a small truck.

Thinking she had upgraded, I smiled and asked, "Congratulations! New studio?"

She looked away before replying, "No... I couldn't afford to renew my rent."

For five years, her business paid the bills. Rent was never a problem.

Then Tinubu happened to Nigeria—the cost of living kept rising. Food became more expensive. Transport went up. Everything cost more. Clients became fewer. The money she had painstakingly saved for rent slowly disappeared into the daily fight to survive.

Today, she isn't moving into a better studio.

She's moving because she could no longer afford the one she already had.

This is what an economic crisis looks like. It's not just statistics or government press releases it’s not high trading stocks. It's ordinary Nigerians watching years of hard work slip through their fingers.

How many more stories like hers are playing out across the country every single day?
It’s time to send Tinubu parking.

Betting should be a choice, not a reflex. If you feel angry, desperate or like you need to win it back, that’s your signal to stop. Take a breather, reassess, and only come back when you’re calm. Discipline beats emotion, every single time.

I advocated the government will use gains from subsidy removal to help the poor little did I know they will loot the poor!

Till date they can't account for the 3 billion dollars spent on refineries

Till date they can't even fund budget

Buhari even funded the budget better despite paying subsidies

They have collected loans but today all we hear is corruption cases every day

JUST IN: Femi Gbajabiamila reportedly forged a law, used it to collect ₦54bilion from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), claiming it was an order from Pres. Tinubu. Bayo Onanuga backs him.

He allegedly demanded 4% of NUPRC’s revenue, to be split into two. 2.5% and 1.5%, the latter will be for “upgrading of crude oil and gas metering and transparency systems” — this doesn’t exist in this context. It was his way of illegally collecting the money to himself.

Gbaja assumed office as Chief of Staff in June 2023. The incident occurred in July 2023, just weeks after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in.

Bayo Onanuga insists the money was not illegal and that it was released under a lawful order from the President. Which is concerning, because the President does not have the legal authority to issue such orders.

Apparently, the Presidential Chief of Staff also reached out to FIRS, NIMASA and Nigerian Customs with similar tactics.

- he increased NECO from 30,000 to 50,000
- he removed general electricity subsidy
- he increased tertiary institution’s tuition fees
- he also increased international passport fees from 50,000 to 100,000 last year

Nigerians are being priced out of basic civic entitlements. This is bad leadership!!

Two ladies went to visit Mr David Umahi for God knows what. Many says it’s for mekwa.

One of the ladies died naked and Umahi didn’t tell the police immediately, instead an ambulance was brought in to carry the dead body out.

He kept it secret.

It took Sahara Reporters to blow the horny cover open and when Umahi responded, he said they are medical physiotherapists deployed to SERVICE HIM SPECIFICALLY. What kind of service that’s special to him when he has no medical needs that demands physio?

The Umahi Teaching Hospital that he claimed deployed them to him has no business doing such. Umahi has lots of questions to answer.

If a girl dies in the house of a poor man, he will be in police custody by now. Umahi should be in one. That’s the only debate he should be having right now and not with Peter Obi.

Who killed the girl?
Who sucked her breasts when it was opened?
Who stripped her naked?
Do doctors now carry out physio work naked?

Umahi is a culprit

The second that went for the adventurous journey must not be killed and not also be bribed, as she’s the only eye witness alive. We know that what dollars cannot do in this kind of case does not exist.

When Tracy accused him of being a horny goat, he denied it even though no Nigerian believed him. Two months after, one proof seems to be coming out. This cannot be swept under the carpet.

Umahi must not go scot free in this.

I was inside Lagos Island (isale Eko) yesterday (the residential area) and it got me wondering; what exactly do you benefit from the government that has made you this loyal to them?

Everywhere stank, the roads were only accessible to one vehicle at a time, the houses are so cramped together and over crowded, your parents sat on the roads just to receive fresh air. I had to beg people to move their chairs off the road so that I could drive through.

You claim to own Lagos but you're living like this in the same Lagos you own? Why!!!!

Burna Boy completely cleared Davido out of the way so the focus stays on him and the biggest, Big Wiz — it’s alarming. Davido is finished 😂
Big Wiz No 1 forever 🦅 They’re all trying, but they don’t come close. Who haven’t you all compared to Big Wiz? You can’t deny it anymore he’s the biggest pioneer of African global music Big wiz. The most versatile and complete artist in and out of Africa😇❤️🦅

🔥Jamie Carragher on Reece James:

🗣️ "I've said it for years when Reece James is fit, there's not a right-back in world football who gets near him. He comes on for 20 minutes, pockets Antonio Nusa, and looks like the best player on the pitch. That's how good he is."

"People always bring up other names, but I don't see it. Arsenal fans can mention Timber, United fans can mention Dalot, Liverpool fans can throw in whoever they like it doesn't matter. A fully fit Reece James is operating on a different level."

"The biggest opponent he's ever had is his own fitness. If Xabi Alonso manages his minutes properly and keeps him available, the debate is over. Everyone will remember why he's the benchmark at right-back."

[PROFESSOR @Prof__Akinwale]

You hardly hear a newbie say, “I’ll be bigger than Burna boy”
It’s always, “I’LL BE BIGGER THAN WIZKID”
When fan comparisons start,you hardly hear, “X artist is better than Davido”
It’s almost always, “X ARTIST IS BETTER THAN WIZKID.”
Why?
SYMBOLISM of music Success = WIZKID 🤝

The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development

On Friday, July 10, 2026, I had the honour of delivering the keynote address at Mandela Hall, African Union Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations in New York, on _The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development across Africa.

Africa is a continent of immense riches. Indeed, it is the richest continent in the world, not only because of its vast mineral resources but also because of its greatest asset, its people. It is the second largest continent by landmass, after Asia, covering more than 30 million square kilometres. It is also the second most populous continent, with over 1.5 billion people. Significantly, more than one billion of these are young people in their productive years, making Africa home to the largest youthful workforce in the world.

When this demographic advantage is combined with nearly one billion hectares of arable land, about 60% of which remains uncultivated, it becomes clear that Africa possesses everything required not only to feed itself but also to become the food capital of the world.

Regrettably, despite this enormous potential, Africa remains home to the largest concentration of the world’s poorest people. Of the approximately 800 million people living in extreme poverty globally, nearly 60% are in Africa. That is about 480 million people, with Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the countries most affected. In other words, nearly one in every three Africans lives in extreme poverty. Likewise, in multidimensional poverty, Africa continues to bear the greatest burden.

The question, therefore, is simple. With all these advantages, why has Africa not been able to lift its people out of poverty?

It means there is a missing link. That missing link is Competent Leadership with Capacity, Compassion, Character, and Commitment to good governance.

What Africa needs is leadership that will rise to the challenge and drive the continent in the right direction. This means competent leadership with character, capacity, compassion and commitment to begin turning the continent around. When we get leadership right, everything else begins to change. We start realising our true potential.

So, what is the role of the Diaspora African in this journey?
You have an enormous role to play.

Because you live in societies where institutions largely work, where democracy is strengthened by accountability and where systems function more effectively, you have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help build Africa. It is time to become stronger advocates for good governance. Even where you cannot vote, your voices matter. They should be heard both at home and abroad whenever things are going wrong on our continent. Stand firmly for what is right. Speak truth to the leaders who visit you. Let them know where they are getting it wrong. That is what some of us have continued to do.

The contribution of the African diaspora extends far beyond advocacy. History teaches us that many of the world’s great economic transformations were driven, in part, by their diaspora communities.

Japan offers one example. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the country embraced modernisation and benefited immensely from Japanese scholars, professionals and citizens who studied and worked abroad, especially in Germany, before returning home to drive the technological transformation for which Japan is admired today.

China presents another remarkable example. It was under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms, beginning in 1978, that China embraced education, innovation and global engagement. These reforms created opportunities for the Chinese diaspora to contribute significantly to the country’s extraordinary economic transformation. In 1980, China had more people living in poverty than Africa. Today, China has reduced extreme poverty dramatically, while Africa continues to struggle with the challenge.
