URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,
I don’t know these doctors personally,
But we can’t watch evil and say nothing.
Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,
It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.
Pls share and retweet. Thank you.
As Nigeria counts down to 2027, my team and I have spent the last five months building something big.
It’s called Power and Plunder — a series that takes you through the entire history of Nigeria’s leadership.
From Tafawa Balewa in 1960 to the current administration, we’re doing deep dives on every single leader who has occupied that office. How they governed. What they built. What they destroyed. And how, for better or worse, each one shaped the course of this country.
First episode drops Wednesday, May 6th. Watch this space.
🪵🔨 The Strong, Silent Type — The Quiet “Yes” That Shook Hell
He never speaks in Scripture.
Not once.
No sermons.
No recorded wisdom.
No dramatic speeches.
And yet he is entrusted with the Virgin.
He names the Son of God.
He rises in the night and walks into exile without complaint.
He lived beside the Living Word
— and never needed to be heard.
When the angel spoke, he obeyed.
When danger came, he moved.
When entrusted with mystery, he guarded it.
His life can be summed up in one word:
Yes.
Satan does not fear noise.
He fears the quiet “Yes.”
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph — and we’re celebrating a day early.
March 19 interrupts Lent.
If it falls on a Friday, abstinence yields.
Even penance steps aside for this man.
So gather around the table.
Light the grill if you must.
Give thanks for steady hands and faithful fathers.
In an age of broken homes and loud opinions,
we need the man of Nazareth again.
🎶 The Strong, Silent Type — a meditation on obedience, chastity, fatherhood, and the strength that does not shout.
Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us.
I am 39. Married 8 years.
I learned 4 phrases that de-escalate any argument with my wife in under 60 seconds.
Being “right” is less important than being connected.
Here are the phrases:
My father fled Iran during the revolution.
He landed as a young man in Paris and decided to become a doctor.
But…he failed his first year of medical school. Because he didn’t speak French.
Then, he retook the first year again…and failed for a second time (because he still barely spoke french and was taking organic chemistry in a language with a different alphabet).
He decided to move to Brussels to give it a third try and start over.
And on his third try, he’d learned enough French to pass. He went on and graduated top of his class.
Then, he met my mother and she convinced him to come to the U.S.
He came here with $1000, a suitcase, and, yet again, didn’t speak the native language (now English).
They wouldn’t recognize his foreign MD and no one would give him a residency because he was a foreigner.
So he spent 2 years as a technician working barely above minimum wage.
Then finally, he was finally given a
residency in the U.S.
After residency, he joined my grandfathers practice (moms dad).
Just as he began to develop a reputation, he found himself locked out of his own office. The locks changed on him overnight.
My mother decided to get a divorce.
He had to start over, again, this time on his own.
But he didn’t have the money.
And - to build a surgery center was $250,000 (in 1995 dollars).
He didn’t have that kind of money.
So looked up the legal requirements and he built his own. The entire thing. Himself. To code. Actually. Out of sheer will. And built it for under $30,000 (all the money he had at the time).
Finally, he was on his own.
This time, he kept growing and growing his practice until he became the top eyelid surgeon in Maryland. And eventually, in the U.S.
He’s done more than 16,000 cases meaning somewhere upwards of 50,000+ eyelids.
And every year he (on his own) does more eyelid cases than all of John’s Hopkins eye department combined.
My father taught me many lessons. Most of them through example, not preaching. He’s not a man of many words.
But the few things he did say, he’d say with his actions over and over again:
Failures are just detours.
Don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t good enough for what you want.
Whatever you do, be the best.
God gave you the power to ignore, use it.
It’s better to be envied than pitied.
You won’t even remember their name in 20 years.
You’re only stressed because you’re underprepared.
There’s nothing anyone can put you through that you haven’t already put yourself through that was worse.
And finally…
You only get one name, tell the world what you want it to mean by what you do with it.
****
Whenever I go through hard times I like to remember what he went through to make my life possible.
And somehow, everything always falls into focus.
PS - I get a lot credit for what I’ve done. But I often think what he accomplished was far harder than what I have. And - I don’t want his sacrifice to be in vain.
PPS - Whats the best piece of advice your father (or father figure) gave you?
📜⚠️ NEW SONG: “James Should Come With a Warning Sticker…”
A snarky Scripture bombshell revealing just how dangerously Catholic the Epistle of James really is.
📝 Why This Song Exists
For centuries, people have tried to make James play nicely with “faith alone,”
but James… just… won’t.
This letter strolls into the New Testament grinning like it knows something inconvenient —
and then starts tossing theological grenades straight into the Reformation:
“Not by faith alone.”
“Confess your sins to one another.”
“Call the presbyters to anoint you.”
“Save a brother’s soul from death.”
“Religion that is pure and undefiled…”
“Faith without works is dead.”
It’s almost like he didn’t read the pamphlets.
James isn’t subtle.
James isn’t playing.
James is the apostle who refuses to stay in the Protestant buddy-comedy reboot of the first century.
And yes — Luther really did wish this book would disappear into the stove.
(He could smell the Catholicism.)
🔥 What the Song Delivers
Fast-paced talk-sing snark.
Dry humor.
Punchy theological jabs.
A full detonation of every sacramental thread James weaves into the text.
Because if any book deserves a neon sticker slapped across the front that says:
⚠️ WARNING: Contains Active Catholic Grenades
…it’s this one.
🎶 “James Should Come With a Warning Sticker…”
— a track for converts, cradle Catholics, former Protestants, Bible nerds, theology enjoyers, and anyone who’s ever noticed that James does NOT behave like a modern evangelical.

👉UPDATED🔥 “READ YOUR CATECHISM” — UPDATED VIDEO NOW LIVE
So… a quick note about the video.
Yes, I use AI to create the artwork — it’s one of the only ways I can produce these videos at the pace I’ve been releasing them. And in the original upload, one of the generated frames included what some viewers would consider a PG-13-ish image.
It was extremely brief.
Covered by text.
Over a thousand people didn’t even notice it.
But some did — and several asked if they could share the song with youth groups, confirmation classes, RCIA/OCIA, etc.
And that meant I needed to make sure the video was 100% VIRTUS-appropriate.
So we cleaned it up.
Removed the questionable frame.
Re-rendered the whole thing.
And the UPDATED version is now live and ready to share anywhere — parishes, schools, youth ministry, your grandma’s Bible study, whoever needs to hear “read your catechism.”
Thank you to everyone who caught it, flagged it kindly, and helped make the video better.
And thank you to everyone sharing these songs to help spread truth with beauty, clarity, and (let’s be honest) a little snark.
Updated video is live now. Enjoy — and as always, read your catechism.

🔥 NEW SONG: The Immaculate Conception: Fitting Not Forced
Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Peter’s Barque
Two ways to save someone from a pit.
That’s it.
That’s the whole doctrine people tie themselves in knots avoiding.
You can save someone after they fall —
that’s us.
Every sinner Christ drags back to life with grace.
Or you can save someone by preventing the fall entirely —
that’s what He does for His mother.
Same Savior. Same grace. Different application. Perfect symmetry.
The New Eve doesn’t start broken.
The New Ark doesn’t carry the Word with spiritual rot.
Genesis 3:15 says “enmity,” which means total separation, not “Satan gets partial custody.”
Revelation 12 calls her the mother of all who keep God’s commandments.
Gabriel greets her not with a name, but with a title meaning “graced completely.”
And none of this dents monotheism —
the people who died defending the One God didn’t suddenly forget theology in the first century.
This track hits.
The visuals hit harder.
And the next ones are coming fast.
Peter’s Barque is picking up speed.
