An act of goodwill got me into trouble. Crazy night. 😂
I was working on a Toyota Fortuner today and needed some petrol for a task, so I decided to take a little from the car.
I called one of the IT students to help start the car
He tried to start it and asked, "Why isn't the car starting and the petrol is coming out
I told him I removed the starter relay, I don't want to hear any starting sound.
After getting the petrol I needed, I fixed everything back.
I came to work this morning to meet my colleagues (all Europeans) discussing South Africans and their xenophobic culture.
It pleased my heart to see that the embarrassment is no longer continental.
All your countrymen abroad should begin to feel uncomfortable.
About to take the kids to school this morning, I opened the front door to see a big, black crow perched on the car.
Me to the kids: "Guys, I saw this cool thing on NatGeoWild about crows. Did you know..."
My wife: "I COVER THIS CAR WITH DA BLOOOOOD OF JESUSSSSS!"
In the last three years alone, over 15 million of you have turned 18. You, therefore, have the power to shape the nation’s future. Go and obtain your PVC.

I dont understand why a man is asked to go get married just because he has made money.
"You have a good job. You have a good apartment. You have money. What are you waiting for? Get yourself a woman."
Get a woman to do what? Getting married is not the problem, I have a problem with the monetary qualification. Why do I need money to get married and she comes as she is?
Marriage is a merger not an acquisition. Thus, your financial status is irrelevant. Whatever stage you are in life and you choose to commit, the parties come together to do life together, which means that the bills become one. Both income are family income and the couple put family first by investing both income to the success of the home. Marriage is not the acquiring of somebody to increase your burden and expenses.

I bought mango of N1,000. Your pikin use ‘big’ nylon to package the mangoes 🥭 for me & you started beating him up in my presence just because he used a big nylon to attend to me?
And the funniest thing was that she was speaking in Yoruba saying ‘For just N1,000 market he bought you’re using the big nylon to attend to him. Please use small nylon for N1,000 market and below. What will I use to attend to my main customers when they arrive?’
I intentionally replied in Yoruba telling her ‘Iya Aje ni yi lese kese’ …. And i dropped the mangoes and left without looking back.
Anything and everything she said, na her family and herself e go touch!…..Amen!
Every few months I have to come out and ‘defend’ my name on the internet. Crazy that I never had to defend my result though.
Anyway, my dad is from Delta, and my mum is from Ogun state.
So I’m entitled to the name. It had nothing to do with my result though. 😏
Till next time.
From the videos we saw, this lady and her late husband were being held with some other kidnapped victims.
Since you engaged the terrorists and they ran away, where are the other victims?
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
If you don't have the means to fund your vices, you're not a good person - you're just poor.
Morality isn't proven by absence of temptation but choices made in it's presence
You're not a faithful husband - you've just not been privileged to walk the streets of Madrid at night.
Adidas are set to re-release a remake of Arsenal’s iconic 1990-92 home shirt.
The collection, expected to launch in early 2027, will also feature a ‘blackout’ version of the legendary design.

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!

Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking.
On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja.
Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society.
I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership.
The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance.
I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people.
Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
The late MajorGeneral Rabe Abubakar was once the army spokesperson. He once went on TV to say the military was winning.
Few weeks ago, he was himself kidnapped by the terrorists and he has now died in captivity in the hands of the same terrorists.
RIP to him. We are in a mess.
