At the start of the new year, I decided to share a project I worked on four years ago on the 2019 Nigerian elections, on LinkedIn. A few days later, I received a contract from the European Union to join the social media team as a data analyst for the 2023 Nigerian elections.

People really don't know what a simple recommendation can do for them. All I'll say is always put in your best at work. Be there for your boss as often as you can!
For me, any player who wants to leave the club because he wasn't given the money he asked for doesn't really want to play for you.
If he wants, he will agree to a deal that suits him and the club. To build the right culture at Chelsea, we need players who truly want to play for the club. No exceptions.
Bruno Fernandes had bigger offers last season, and United wanted to sell, but he insisted on staying without Champions League and without demanding more money.
That's the character we need at the club. Make no mistake, the club's culture is more important than any player's desire.
The kidnapped students and their teachers are going to spend another night in that forest again 💔💔💔💔💔
THIS IS THE SIXTH NIGHT 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Please Do something @oyostategovt@seyimakinde 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Leaving Fabrizio in Aug 2025 was a huge chapter. So thankful for the opportunities it gave me.🙏
Kit swaps used to be my playground—practised until I could do a clean one in under 15 mins lol. Now AI does it in 2 mins 😅
Crazy how fast things change.
Lived it. Loved it. 💪🥰
Context being that at the time, there was a running gag about how everytime Aaron Ramsey scored a goal, a famous person died. Famous person being wished death on here was a certain Goodluck Jonathan.
No arrest happened.
Very interesting times.
The next couple of days will define the future of this nation. This deeper understanding is why I resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as I follow the leadership of, HE Peter Obi, who today embodies the hope and aspiration of a Nigeria that works.
When I give my word, I keep it. My decision to support HE Peter Obi first led me to the ADC. To continue to honour the promise I am joining the NDC.
This time I am joining the NDC not just as a member but as one running for the FCT Senatorial seat.
I have tidied up all my obligations to the ADC, ensuring a clean transition. I was fortunate to work with great and amazing people whose goal was a better country. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as sub‑committee chair, deputy committee chair, and secretary at various levels.
The experience has been invaluable, and I thank everyone for their support and cooperation.

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I will speak at the end of the season about many real matters.
I was the first to come to this league, and the rest came because of me.
They must respect the referees; even if they make mistakes, they are human and they do errors”, told @rioferdy5.
A University of Jos student, John Arum Azi, was kidnapped while traveling to Kaduna. 😭
The kidnappers sent a distressing video showing him being tortured and are demanding ₦30 million for his release.
His life is in serious danger.😭💔
