There comes a time in a man's life, when he has to start saying things like there comes a time in a man's life, to sound like he has small sense.

So since the Christmas Day strikes, your president didn’t think it was necessary to speak to Nigerians? America carried out air strikes in your country and not even a word to nigerian citizens? There has not be 10mins to spare for a national address?

You’ll see a road block; a terrible rickety truck/bus with zero road worthiness will be allowed to pass, then they’ll stop you with a healthy looking vehicle instead.

In 2010 the Saudi government detained Sheikh Ahmad Gumi for six months over alleged links and email correspondence with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "underwear bomber".

Abdulmutallab, a young Nigerian who got radicalized and joined ISIS was said to be having some relationship with Gumi shortly before he attempted to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear while on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan, U.S. on 25 December 2009.

Abdulmutallab was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to four life terms plus 50 years without parole on February 16, 2012, after acknowledging in a courtroom statement that he had traveled to Yemen and was greatly inspired to avenge what he described as ‘US tyranny and oppression of Muslims’ in the Middle East.

It took the Goodluck Jonathan's government intervention for the Saudis to release and deport Gumi back to Nigeria.

In May 2025, the Saudi authorities prevented Gumi from taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage and subsequently deported him to Nigeria. That was Gumi's first visit to the country since his deportation in 2010.

When you see Gumi romanticing terrorists in Nigeria, do not be surprised because he has a history of having 'good relationships' with international terrorists.

@SatomiTerumi @MsAdaO Fundamentally, hypocrisy is when one professes what one doesn't believe.

Sometimes, a person may falter, or fall to temptation or circumstance and do something contrary to their core beliefs, but that's not necessarily hypocrisy.

[Plateau Militia Asian girl🌟 @CatiaKyen]

He was the leader of a community attacked and seized by terrorists since 2021. They renamed the village “MAHANGA,” meaning “watchtower.”

MAHANGA is now the terrorists' base for attacking areas in Plateau State, yet nothing has been done about this den of terrorists.

In this interview, the former village head of Rankum, in the Jol district of Riyom Local Government Area, says that since its capture, the town has remained a no-go zone for the indigenous landowners and is now a staging ground for further terror attacks and village takeovers in surrounding areas.

@harrydaniyan @AyoBankole I was just thinking the same thing.

[Lukas Not Podolski @OtitoNosike]

Sex, in many ways, is a possession ritual.

Not in the occultic or demonic sense, no—but in a deeply psychological one. It’s an act that grants access—not just to the body, but to the mind. To sleep with someone is to leave an imprint on their psyche, to be etched, however faintly, onto the chalkboard of their memory.

Whether we admit it or not, we remember those who’ve entered us—or whom we’ve entered. It’s why sex is never just sex. It leaves traces. It creates mental loyalties. It forges invisible ties.

This is precisely why a woman often hesitates. Why she withholds. Especially when she meets someone new. She knows what’s at stake. She knows that if she gives in too quickly—and the man is good, really good—then he doesn’t just take her body. He leaves a stamp. He becomes a reference point. A standard. A ghost she might struggle to exorcise.

And men? Men understand this too, even if they don’t admit it out loud. It’s why many of them drown themselves in aphrodisiacs, performance enhancers, and all manner of virility boosters—not necessarily to enjoy the sex, but to perform. To impress. Because deep down, they know that women remember the ones who make them feel most alive between the sheets. The ones who crack something open in them. And once that happens, something shifts—attachments form. Preferences solidify. Decisions follow.

This is also where chastity comes in—not as some archaic religious punishment, but as a guardrail. A mental firewall. When we abstain, we prevent our hearts from building hierarchies of desire—ranking Person A above Person B simply because Person A fucks better. And whether we like it or not, we do this. All of us. We keep score. We compare. We pine. And then we choose, not based on values or shared futures, but based on who activated the most primal part of us.

It is the reason why a married woman may still ache for a past lover. Why a man may leave a stable home to chase the thrill of a more skilled partner. Because once sex is introduced, objectivity is compromised. Boundaries blur. Soul ties form. Our decisions become less about what makes sense—and more about what makes us feel.

That’s why the ancients outlawed fornication. Not because they were clueless or prudish, but because they understood something our generation scoffs at: that sex, uncontrolled, untethered, ungoverned—leads to confusion. To misaligned unions. To misplaced loyalty. To heartbreaks that feel like spiritual warfare.

The moment we start to fornicate, we stop seeing people for who they are—and start seeing them for what they do to us. And when that becomes the basis of our love, our choices begin to betray us.

Because let’s face it: most of us aren’t choosing from wisdom anymore. We’re choosing from memory. From sensation. From imprint.

And yet, we dare to call it freedom—this drifting from body to body, chasing echoes of pleasure we mistake for connection. But real freedom isn’t in indulgence. It’s in discernment. What we parade today as liberation may, in truth, be the most elegant form of bondage.

@SocialComms9 @kentuch005 Agreed.

[1st Name Basis @twittpope]

@SocialComms9 @kentuch005 I'm not exonerating the superior officers, in cases where those superior officers are still in service. They should be punished as well. Even greater. However, where the "illegal" order/directive comes from a retired officer, the subordinate should know better.

[joel ESQ. @_empighalo]

A soldier will beat and break your fingers then claim he was following orders.

Some of you were actually "tailor made" for this country. Satan sent you here to suffer. 🤡

@FrizzinKold @Bri_g_ht @thornsport You have no idea what you're talking about.

[1st Name Basis @twittpope]

@Dapsijaiye @thornsport On the contrary, that's exactly what they are.

[vicosang @vicosang]

@thornsport This is not about Wike and the officer. It's simply a reflection of how weakened is our democratic system.The military sees all elected officials as bloody civilians .We can cheer the young officer, but remember, the guys with the guns are watching & waiting .we may regret !

[FitMedic @FEMMY466]

Why I'm learning definitively is that, military personnel don't just do things, they must be ordered to do whatever they do and they will follow that order to the letter.
So, who ordered the shooting of the protesters at Toll Gate?

[Zariyi Yusuf Madaki @ZariyiYusufu]

Nigerians, there is an on-going genocide that the Nigerian government wished the world did not pick on its radar.

Please, for humanity’s sake, don’t be distracted by the “new hero vs old villain” episode the government just created and end up moving past an evil that has been cutting down Christians for almost two decades.

For the first time, even pastors who have been silent about their personal experiences of Christian persecution are beginning to speak up.

Let us leave the “Young Officer vs Wike” drama and stay focused on this matter of life and death, upon which the future of Nigeria solely rests.

Hold the line, for humanity’s sake 🙏🏿

[1st Name Basis @twittpope]

@cremechic11 I concur. Let's recruit into, equip, train and remunerate the police adequately enough to suffice in their stead. Then get the permanent road blocks out entirely. There's a lot to do.
