Honestly, I think it's an unwise thing to leave politics and voting to unwise people. The first success factor of rigging is not ballot snatching, voter inducement, or rewriting results, it is voter apathy.

@TerfaTG @ruffydfire You think you're smart 🚮🚮

@ruffydfire The question I always ask Obi supporters is if he can’t amicably negotiate accord within his own party how does he hope to do so at a national level? Flirting with 4 parties in 4 years is not a good look.

BREAKING: 2027: OBI, KWANKWASO QUIT ADC FOR NDC TODAY [PRES] Despite all denials, the two political heavyweights in the African Democratic Congress, Peter Obi and Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso will formally join the Nigeria Democratic Congress, today (Sunday), paving way for their aspirations for 2027 Presidency. [OOV] The announcement was contained in an invite sent to journalists on the NDC Media WhatsApp Group. The declaration would take place by 2:00pm in Abuja. They will be received by the National Leader of the NDC and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson and its National Chairman, Moses Cleopas, alongside members of the National Working Committee (NWC). The party leaders have described the new development as a growing wave of confidence in the NDC nationwide.

@PeterObi @asemota Anywhere you go, you have my vote.

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

@ChimdiIbeawuchi Launching a startup soon & I feel confident because I've worked in sectors that have taught me a thing or two. I hope to go into Agriculture in the future, but only when I've first built capital & knowledge. I'd not like to get burnt on sth I practically don't know much about.

@CharlotteA3u @TechnicalBben Assess track record, openness to scrutiny, and test their accountability. Added to that, demand/build a structure and system that protects you both. There are still many trustworthy people in Nigeria & I'm sure many potential investors are losing big money for not seeing that.

@Emidiata16 @TechnicalBben How do you identify someone that’s trustworthy?

Fine I made some money, but I'm too scared to start a business in Nigeria 😭😭 because the top businesses also left Nigeria, so what makes me different in this Nigerian economy. If you have 10 million Naira what will you be investing your money on? Help!!

Your entire life will change when you realize your standards decide your future. Every time you let something slide, you train yourself to accept less. That’s how goals erode. That's how principles slip. Set your standards. Then hold the line. Especially when it’s hard.

@MrOlibaba Absolutely!

@Emidiata16 The mandate can come handy before death is established. The stress to get an LOA is just too much.

If you're a bank account holder, you have an aged parent or you’re the next of kin, please read this. When an account holder passes, the bank will restrict access to that account. Before money can be withdrawn, the family has to go through court processes and bank documentations. That usually means getting letters of administration, paying fees and a long wait. But then there's a simple way to avoid that stress. As an account owner you can request a change of mandate on the account and add trusted signatories. For example: Signatory A (can sign alone): This remains the principal account owner. Signatory B + C (must sign together): This could be two trusted children or beneficiaries. In this setup, while the principal account owner is alive, they retain full control. If anything happens, the bank already has a valid instruction on how the account should be operated. If you prefer to add just one person: Signatory A + B (either to sign): This means either the account owner or the second signatory can operate the account. This option requires a high level of trust. You are essentially giving that person full access alongside you. The bank will only act based on the mandate on the account. So it’s important that whoever is added is someone you trust. This advice is just to put structures in place so your family can access funds without delay when it matters.

@shelovesore @falafolosho Was telling my bro few days ago how I spent #700 for both movie ticket and pop corn.

@falafolosho There was a time it was 500, I remember my mum taking us that time

You guys should go to cinemas, those places are empty, people are not going to watch movies at the cinema anymore, and I don’t even blame them honestly. 1 movie ticket is about 15k, apart from popcorn Let’s say you’re on a date and you’re paying for 2, that’s already 30k Now include popcorn for two, that’s about 8-10k Everything will be about 40k. All this excluding transportation Imagine going to see a movie for almost 50k. Omo

Top three Michael Jackson’s song and you are not allowed to mention Thriller or Billie Jean.

@CFC_OBED You're bugging yourself unnecessarily. That Chelsea team will probably finish 8th or 10th.

Aston villa are currently losing to Nottingham forest, if that happens in both games , Chelsea finishing 6th won’t give us champions league. We need Aston villa to win this Europa league semi final at all cost

Your low standards are not as dangerous as your love for cheap excellence.

@BukkyOA Hmm... This is a strong one!

@urchin_spine @IroegbuLucky As funny as your last statement is, it's actually correct.

He should squat with his colleague who lives closer to his work place, so transport can reduce then he can save better. I think 50k feeding support is too much, he should do 30k instead, then since he is a regular payer of tithes, he should reach out to his pastor for rent support. The response he gets should tell him if he should continue paying tithes.

I woke up thinking about my kid brother. He is working with a salary of #250,000 monthly. He is currently living with our parents and have come of age to rent his own apartment. The reason why his thought came across my mind this morning was that he spent 5k daily on transportation to his place of work and he work 26 days a month. He support the feeding of the house with 50k. He is also a student with national open University of Nigeria. As a Christian, he is firm believer of titheing which he removes 10% monthly from his salary. His goal this year is to rent his own apartment preferably closer to his office and the cheapest room goes for 650k (self-contained) What will be your advise(s) to him considering the economic situation in Nigeria and his monthly bills?

You keep waiting for the perfect moment. The perfect moment is watching you waste the current one. Start messy. Fix it as you go.

@MrOlibaba These days Microsoft Teams is the new Tinder for Bankers. 😅

Then at UBA a colleague in sales got married to a lady in operations. No drama from HR. Nobody was asked to resign. Nobody lost their job. The only decision management made was simple. The husband was transferred to another branch within the same city. I respected that. If you understand how banking works, especially in operations, people spend almost their entire day at work. It is the same faces, the same pressure, the same environment, every single day. It is only natural that people will form real connections in that space. So when marriage happens banks should not force one person to resign. I have seen many women bankers in their early to mid-thirties who are not married. Not because they do not want to be, but because work takes most of their time and energy. There is little room to meet people outside that environment. In many cases, they end up marrying customers or people they meet through work. It is not easy to find love outside work.
