Your Vote, Your Life: The Truth About 2027 Dear Nigerians, As we move closer to the 2027 elections, I want to beg every Nigerian—young or old, rich or poor, student or worker—to take the next election seriously. Not because of party, tribe, religion, or social media arguments… but because elections are directly connected to your daily life and your future. Many Nigerians have been made to believe that elections don’t matter. We have heard things like: “My vote doesn’t count.” Or “They will rig it anyway.” Or “All politicians are the same.” But the truth is this: even if the system is not perfect, your participation still matters. When good people stay silent, bad people get stronger. When citizens give up, politicians become more careless. And when a country stops caring about elections, it becomes easier for leaders to treat people anyhow. Let’s be honest—government decisions affect our lives more than we like to admit. The leaders we elect determine the quality of our roads. They decide whether hospitals will have doctors, drugs, and functioning equipment. They control the education system, whether schools are safe, whether teachers are paid, and whether our children will learn in a proper environment. They influence the cost of living through policies that affect fuel prices, food prices, transportation, and even rent. They decide how secure or unsafe our communities will be through policing, intelligence, and the fight against crime and terrorism. If you have ever complained about the price of rice, bread, garri, transport, or electricity bills, then you are already talking about government. If you have ever suffered because of poor roads, insecurity, bad hospitals, unemployment, or weak currency, then you are already experiencing the result of leadership choices. This is why elections are not just political events. Elections are survival decisions. Another important truth is this: the future of Nigeria is being shaped right now. The decisions made today will affect the next 10 to 20 years. When a country keeps electing leaders who do not value education, the youth suffer. When leaders do not prioritize job creation, young people are pushed into depression, crime, desperation, or migration. When leaders do not invest in technology and industries, the country remains dependent and poor. When corruption is allowed to continue, even billions of naira cannot solve basic problems. Many Nigerians are tired. And honestly, it is understandable. People are struggling. Many families are barely surviving. Some are working hard but getting nothing in return. But this is exactly why we cannot afford to ignore 2027. Your vote is not just a vote. It is your voice. If you don’t speak with your vote, somebody else will speak for you. If you don’t choose your leaders, others will choose for you. And when wrong leaders are chosen, everybody suffers—including those who didn’t vote. Also, we need to stop seeing elections as entertainment. It is not a football match. It is not a time to insult each other online. It is not a time to fight because of politicians who don’t even know you exist. Elections should be a time of serious thinking. We must start asking real questions: What has this person done before? Do they have a clear plan? Are they honest? Do they understand the problems of ordinary Nigerians? Can they build strong institutions and not just share money? Will they protect the future of the youth? We must also understand that Nigeria will not change by prayer alone. Prayer is good, but leadership matters. Faith is important, but policies matter. Hope is powerful, but action is necessary.

If you just finished NYSC, please listen, Do not let anybody put a forex platform in front of you before your allawee clears, Do not let anybody sell you a “passive income” course before you have active income, Do not open a SportyBet account because your bunkmate swore it was a sure banker, You have survived one year of khaki, bad roads, and maize for dinner, Do not now hand your future to an algorithm and a man with a rented Benz, Your certificate is not useless, your network is not empty, your hustle is not over, But it will all become useless, empty, and over very fast if you spend the next 12 months chasing odds and pips instead of opportunities, The market will always be there, But the window to build yourself properly, with focus, with clarity, with hunger, That window is right now, Do not waste it on a 15-leg accumulator and a signal group that goes silent when the trade goes wrong, You just finished service to your country, Now serve yourself.

I buried my mother on a Saturday in Abeokuta and drove back to Lagos the same night. My aunties wanted me to stay. My uncle said sleep before you travel. I couldn't. Too many people crying in shifts. Too many saying she's in a better place like that was supposed to land somewhere useful. I drove home at 11pm with the windows down and nothing playing. Got to Surulere at 1am. Sat on my kitchen floor because the couch felt too comfortable for what I was carrying. That was March 2021. Grief came the way harmattan comes. Gradually. Drying everything out. I stopped cooking. Stopped returning calls. Went to work and came home and sat with her absence the way you sit in a room that used to have someone in it. I started writing because I had nowhere else to put things. One post on a small blog nobody read. Just what she smelled like when I was small. How she never said I love you but would peel an orange without asking and leave it on a saucer next to whatever you were doing. No announcement. Just an orange. Already peeled. Waiting. I didn't tell anyone. Someone found it 3 days later. She sent me a DM on Instagram. Said her name was Nneka. Said she lost her father 8 months before and read my post at 2am and cried. Said sorry if it's strange to reach out. It wasn't strange at all. We talked that whole night. Not about grief directly. Around it. The way you circle something hot before you touch it. She was a teacher in Port Harcourt. Said exactly what she meant with no decoration. The kind of person you recognize immediately even through a screen. We started calling every day. Month 3 I told her to come to Lagos. She laughed. Said for what. I said I don't know. Just come. She came in August. I picked her up at Ojota park. She walked off that bus looking exactly like I expected and nothing like I expected at the same time. We ate at a buka in Palmgroove and talked until they started stacking chairs around us. She stayed 5 days. First time since March I felt like a whole person. We went to Lekki conservation on day 3. She photographed everything. The way she moved through spaces. Deliberate. Unhurried. Like she had made a private agreement with time. Last evening on my balcony she said your mother would have liked this view. I didn't ask how she knew. She just knew. She went back to Port Harcourt that Sunday. We kept talking. But something had shifted and neither of us named it. She had Port Harcourt. A school. I had Lagos and everything it requires of you just to stay standing. December she got a transfer offer. International school in Abuja. Better pay. Further away. She called and asked what I thought. I asked what she wanted. Long silence on the line. She said she didn't know how to want something without thinking about what it costs someone else. I told her that was the most her thing she had ever said. She laughed softly. Then went quiet. She took the job. January she moved to Abuja. We still talk. But Abuja is not Port Harcourt and Port Harcourt was already not Lagos. The distance does what distance does when 2 people won't say the thing they mean. Last week she sent a photo. New classroom. Morning light through the window the exact way she described her old one. She wrote just 4 words. Different window. Same light. I've been sitting with that for 7 days. I don't know what we are. I don't know if something real can survive this much geography without slowly becoming a memory both of you are too fond of to release. What I know is I still write. And she still sends photos. And somewhere between her window in Abuja and mine in Surulere something is waiting quietly for one of us to say it out loud. We're still looking for the word.

As an ex-poverty alumni, one of the hardest things to do, was to beg or ask for help, yooo scary, I feel humiliated and ashamed before asking, on their behalf. If they ask me to kiss their feet I will do it. Self esteem drops, I don't wish this on anyone.

That Sambo guy is the kind of guy you want to do business with. He literally put Abazz on because he was a fan of the Abazz guy. If Abazz had delivered what he was supposed to, the guy would have sang his praise and even refer him to more people. You people are just greedy and myopic calling the dude “Agbako

Loyalty Is Rare Now, Betrayal No Dey Even Shock Anybody Again.

My heart goes out to the people of the middle belt and across Nigeria, victims of the maladministration of a failed government. The primary purpose of government is the protection of life and property. My fellow Nigerians, this is not acceptable, if our leaders refuse to respect we the people, we must teach them respect, If they believe they are King's over us we must remind them our ancestors gained our independence years ago. We must all unite in one voice to demand accountable, effective servant leadership whose priority is not 10mins of eye service, No , one whose sole priority and focus is the Well being of all the people, not one tribe , region or religion , ALL THE PEOPLE.

You can now shuffle. You can also shuffle. Language integration next. 1000reasons.vote Goodnight, Nigeria.

Please teach your sons that they don’t have to tolerate bad attitudes from badly raised girls for them to be seen as good men.

These clique thing you people do on Twitter is disgusting Abazz tried to trick that guy, tried to keep the jerseys, tried to distribute them himself, tried to keep some of the jerseys and NONE of you made a post to caution his wrong Now he sent substandard jerseys for an arguably befitting price and see how you all have crept out to support him. What is wrong is wrong, but you all Twitter influencer cliques are dishonest disgusting lots. I can’t wait for campaign period because you cheap souls will obviously sell Nigerians to APC for a plate of porridge. Tueh.

April 5 Sunday

I saw a post about Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently. Some people were cursing him. Others were praising him. But one comment hit me… The person said: “With the money this man has made, even in his next life, he can never be poor.” And it got me thinking… What if our definition of good wasnt this man’s path to success? What if this is actually how the world works? What if the reason I admire Peter Obi is that he operates within my definition of good? And what if the reason people like Mc Oluomo and Tinubu have come this far is that they operate within a completely different definition of good, bad, and evil? So who is right? Or better question… Who defines what is right? Religion tried to give us structure. It gave us language for good, evil, morality, and empathy. I once heard someone define sin to me like this: “Anything you do or say, and instantly feel bad about… that is your spirit telling you I am not with you on this.” Compared to the Bible which defines it as: Sin is anything that goes against God’s will… even your thoughts and intentions. Now think about this… Some people kill every day. Some people do things we call “demonic.” And we judge them instantly. But what if… They don’t even see it as wrong? What if, in their world, it is normal? Who is the moral authority? I have spent the last hours thinking & writing about this. Countries go to war… kill thousands… then thank God for victory. But the same Bible says “Thou shalt not kill.” So whose God are they praying to? Even education… There are billionaires today who never went to school or dropped out of school, yet they are on top of the food chain because they just learned and understood the simple basics. On the other hand, some people followed school, did everything right… and still struggle. So is success really tied to education? Or just to the rules of the game you choose to play? Life starts to look different when you see this… We are not all playing the same game. We are playing different games… with different rules… under different definitions of “good.” Maybe that is why… someone you see as a devil… is someone else’s answered prayer. Buhari was a disaster to me, but some people miss him… because their world made sense under him. So maybe the real question is not… “Who is good or bad?” Maybe the real question is… “What game are you playing… and who defined your rules?” People always ask: “Why do good people die early?” What if they just chose a game where goodness is not the winning strategy? What if they were playing a different game entirely and the world doesn’t reward goodness but rewards alignment with its rules? Is that why we see politicians today working with people they once criticized? Because they got to understand the dynamics of the game better, while we on the other side choose to understand with emotions? The world is not fully understood… so we use emotions to fill the gaps where understanding is missing. And that is a problem too.

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Virgil van Dijk’s display in the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City. “People are going to get emotional about this, but I don’t care, Virgil van Dijk is living off a reputation he built years ago. Tonight exposed it. When Manchester City turned up the intensity, he didn’t look like a leader… he looked like a liability. We keep hearing ‘world-class, world-class’ based on what? Aura? Because I didn’t see dominance, I saw hesitation. I saw a defender who doesn’t want to get exposed 1v1 anymore. The real top defenders embrace those moments, they don’t hide behind the system. And let’s be honest, if his name wasn’t Van Dijk, we’d be having a very different conversation right now. At Liverpool FC, that standard should be ruthless. But somehow, he keeps getting protected while others get blamed. For me? That performance wasn’t elite. It wasn’t even good. It was average… and average doesn’t win you big games.”
