“We should stop beating around the bush. Ikwerre is Igbo. You can’t be answering an Igbo name and claim to be Benin. Our forefathers, no one answered a Benin name.”
— Former Niger Delta militant, General Asabuja
“We are buying a litre of fuel for more than ₦1,400. I spend ₦400,000 every term on school fees for my three children. That’s why I’m always on social media, advising young Nigerians to vote wisely for the future of their children. Yesterday, I ate my first meal by 5pm because of the hardship. I don’t usually sleep at midnight; I keep thinking about what my children will eat. Peter Obi is our last hope. Nigerians should be ready to stand their ground in the 2027 election.”
— Keke rider pleads with Nigerian youths to vote wisely for the future of their children.
“One of the things Christians lack in Nigeria is awareness of what is happening in the country. After God, government matters. Christians need to get involved in politics. One of the things the devil has made Christians in Nigeria believe is that ‘politics is evil and not for children of God.’ But we allow people to go there and make policies that eventually affect us.
“On the 2027 election, we must be vigilant. Fuel is now ₦1,400 and Nigerians are suffering. This is the time to elect a man with integrity and a good track record, a man who has never been found guilty of stealing government money.
“I am publicly declaring my support for him because if Tinubu returns in 2027, what we are seeing now is just shege; banza will follow if he wins again.
“Tribalism is what has kept us where we are today. I am a Yoruba man, he is Igbo, but I am supporting him because of what he has done.
“As we are going to vote, we should be prepared to d!e with our vote. If th¥gs come with sticks, we should go with sticks too. We have to defend our votes by all means.”

My day has been disrupted.
We cannot continue to excuse and ignore the irresponsibility and crass impunity of @flyairpeace in this country.
Mr Allen Onyema possibly believes that because he has the largest fleet of aircraft, and his company occasionally intervenes in the repatriation of stranded Nigerians aboard, that gives him the latitude to take passengers for granted endlessly.
I am scheduled to appear in court in Enugu State this morning for a case that is slated for definite hearing.
I woke up by 4:30 AM and got to MM1 at about 5:50AM hoping to join the 6:45 AM flight with Air Peace. I already checked in last night.
I became suspicious when Air Peace called for only passengers who were supposed to fly to Enugu and Owerri yesterday, while passengers scheduled to depart today were asked to wait.
Apparently, they cancelled yesterday’s flight to Enugu.
Air Peace kept us on the line for about an hour before their staff came and casually told us that the flight has been delayed till 4:50 PM.
At 2:01 AM today, Air Peace sent a second reminder to passengers, despite knowing that the flight was not going to depart as scheduled.
It is sickening that this airline has persisted in its poor service delivery despite routine complaints by passengers.
The regulators of the aviation industry are complicit in the impunity of Air Peace.
The Minister of Aviation, @fkeyamo, has been doing PR for this airline instead of holding them accountable.
@NigeriaCAA and @FAAN_Official have demonstrated that they’re incapable of tackling the arrogance of this airline.
My client’s fate is now uncertain because of the irresponsibility of Air Peace. I met two learned colleagues who were equally billed to travel on the same flight. One of them also has a hearing this morning in Enugu.
Unfortunately , the two other airlines that fly to Enugu from Lagos (United Nigeria and Enugu Air) only have afternoon flights today.
I lost sound sleep, wasted my resources on flights and taxis (by the way, I already booked my return flight with United Nigeria slated for 3:20 PM today), and I am going to miss a sensitive court appearance.
Official data published few ago by NCAA revealed that Air Peace delayed 71% of its flights in August 2026.
According to NCAA, Air Peace recorded 1,330 delays out of 1,864 flights, representing about 71 percent.
No sanctions were imposed.
No country that is serious about economic development will condone such ineptitude.
“Chris Ngige was the only governor in the history of Nigeria to have been kidn@pped. But immediately Peter Obi assumed office as governor, things started changing. Every day, we military personnel were on the move, working to tackle insecurity. I served under retired Major General Enenche. If Peter Obi becomes President of Nigeria, insecurity in the country will become a thing of the past. I’m speaking from experience.”

80% of companies that have collapsed in Nigeria were killed by government indebtedness.
– HE Peter Obi
Listen to this video and tell me why you're not supporting Obi if you truly mean well for Nigeria.
I have been paying my late uncle's wife's two children's school fees since 2024. Each term costs me about 240,000 naira covering both fees and books.
Earlier this year in February, she came to me with a plan. She wanted to start a business so she could lift the burden off my neck. She needed 500,000 naira. I gave her without hesitation.
Last term, she told me not to bother with the school fees anymore. She was ready to handle it herself. She had started selling thrift wears in the market.
Today she called and said she wanted to buy fuel for my car. I casually sent my account details.
This woman shocked me: She sent 50,000 naira.
She launched her boutique last week. She said it was her own way of saying thank you.
Some people will restore your faith in humanity when you least expect it.
Above all, love God.
73% of women on the titanic survived.
Only 19% of men did.
Read that again.
Even the richest men alive, class, power, status, all useless when the ship started sinking.
Hierarchy collapsed.
Gender didn’t.
“Women and children first”
Not a suggestion.
A rule men didn’t break.
Men stood there.
No panic
No begging.
Just accepted it.
They didn’t ask:
“Do I know her?”
“Is she worth it?”
“Will she remember me?”
No one asked if it was fair.
No camera.
No applause.
No second chances.
Zero return.
Full cost.
Understand this:
When survival gets limited, a man’s life becomes negotiable.
Men like that built the world.
And today?
Masculinity gets mocked.
Call it whatever you want.
But when everything collapsed, men paid first.
This isn’t opinion.
This is history.
In this life, sha, don’t let anybody rush you.
At 33, with a first-class degree, I was still sleeping on my parents’ couch in Ebute Metta, trying to figure life out.
I didn’t get my dream job until I was 36. I got married at 35 and started married life in a room and parlour tiny rooms in Mushin.
I started a business at 38 and failed woefully.
I tried again in my 40s. Failed again.
At 46, I opened an art gallery at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Lagos. It failed too.
At 47, I returned to the yoghurt business. Failed again.
At 48, we started again.
Then, at almost 50, I was compulsorily retired from my job.
Instead of seeing it as the end, I went fully into the yoghurt business.
I relocated to the UK at almost 52.
By 54, we had recorded over ₦2 billion in sales.
So please, be inspired by other people’s success, but never allow their success to put you under pressure.
Some people bloom at 25.
Some at 35.
Some at 50.
Some even later.
Your timeline is different.
Keep learning.
Keep trying.
Keep failing forward.
Keep moving.
You are not late. You are still writing your story.
Good evening.😊
During my postgraduate days at UNILAG, there was this guy who would always drive to lectures in his 2004 Toyota Corolla. He worked with FAAN.
Whenever exams were approaching, he would always want to borrow my notes and make photocopies because he liked the way I structured it. I had a way of highlighting important points and adding side notes, some of which would later turn out to be likely exam questions.
We had this particular course he had been battling with. At that point, his mindset was simply to write the exam, pass somehow, and probably end up with an E.
So I picked him up. We would have WhatsApp voice calls while going through the course materials together. We did it consistently, and we both ended up with an A.
He would usually tell me that if I ever needed anything, I shouldn't hesitate to let him know and that he would come through for me. Most times, I ignored the offer because I was also doing fine on my own.
About two years after our master's programme, I had a cousin who had graduated for years but was still struggling to secure employment. He had twice gotten a fully funded scholarship in the US and was denied visa twice. He also tried Australia and was denied three times.
He eventually gave Belgium a shot, got admission, and was required to present a blocked account, meaning he needed to show proof of a certain amount of money in a Belgian account. The amount was approaching €13,000.
He had nothing, and his resumption deadline was fast approaching.
He reached out to me. Even though he had never told me about his plans to travel, I decided to do everything I could.
I reached out to two of my friends in the UK, but they couldn't help because they were still trying to establish themselves t ground. I also contacted someone in the US who was on a fully funded scholarship. He told me his monthly stipend wasn't even up to $2,000 and that, after paying rent, he had less than $300 left.
Then something told me to reach out to my old master's classmate from UNILAG.
I narrated the situation to him. He asked me straight up, "How much do you need?"
I told him we needed €14,000 in a Belgian account.
He asked, "Will that be enough?"
The next day, he provided €14,000.
A few weeks later, my cousin's visa was approved. While he was heading to the airport, my same friet also gave him ₦2 million in cash, this time, a gift.
Today, my cousin has emmigrated to the US, happily married to an American woman who is also a scholar like him. They now have two children.
I have also become his go-to person for almost every thing he needs done in Nigeria. When he bought his first home in Maryland, Mende, Lagos, I was the one who went for the inspection, received the funds in my account for a Duplex, and handled the closing deal for him.
There is hardly anything I need today that my cousin wouldn't go the extra mile to do for me.
Life has a funny way of bringing people back into your life.
Sometimes, the person you think you are helping today may become the person who changes your life tomorrow.
Never underestimate the value of being genuinely useful to people.
Be useful. Be kind. Build genuine relationships. You never know when life will bring the same person back to you in a different season.
