@gimbakakanda @Abdul_charming May Allah guide Gimba Kakanda to Islam.

#MichaelMovie spoilers: For those of us who grew up on the legend of Michael Jackson, and wallowed in the fantasies built around him, watching Michael, his new biopic, feels like being handed back a piece of one’s childhood. There is, sincerely, nothing in the biopic that is not already out in the media, except the nostalgia of being retold the story, and masterfully so, by his nephew, who plays the lead role. Michael will be a polarising watch, especially for those of us who feel that their patriarch, Joe Jackson, was unfairly demonised. Joe Jackson devoted his life to making the Jacksons a success in a society where people of their skin colour faced barriers to their rise. While I do not deny the effect of his parental abuse on Michael, I think he is not quite the devil we are being asked to see. That seems to be the aim of this biopic, which also shows the mother standing on the margins as it all transpired, without appearing to have done enough. There would never have been a Michael Jackson without Joe, and that is a haunting truth we are being asked to overlook. As a child reading about Michael’s abuse, I consumed everything wholeheartedly. As a father, I now understand that one must be careful to get parenting right, even when some decisions may seem paternalistic. It would have been a truly victorious breakaway for the estranged duo if Michael had fully walked the path of redemption after freeing himself from his father’s influence, at least physically and legally. But what followed was a series of scandals surrounding his alleged drug abuse and allegations involving children. Overall, it is a powerful biopic, powerful in the sense that it evokes memories that tempt you to become the child you once were, to jump out of the cinema chair and moonwalk, only to remember that your bones are no longer what they used to be, and that you are now a self-respecting adult. 😀

Meet Roger Barrett, a patient of mine who just started coming to our office this week. Little did I know, this man would change my life. Mr. Barrett was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2009 and was told he could receive treatment, but if the cancer spread outside his bladder, there wouldn't be much the doctors could do. As months passed and the doctor visits continued, Mr. Barrett’s cancer worsened. In 2010, during yet another follow-up, he received the devastating news that the cancer had spread beyond his bladder and that he had only five years to live. Despite the bleak prognosis, Mr. Barrett opted for any treatment that might help, but unfortunately, the treatments led to severe infections, and the doctors had no choice but to stop them. A few months later, in December, Mr. Barrett carried on with his annual tradition of decorating his home with 150,000 lights to display the true meaning of Christmas. He opens his home to the public, offering hotdogs and marshmallows at no charge around a fire pit. One Saturday evening, while parking cars in his backyard, a couple pulled up. Mr. Barrett noticed they were dressed quite formally—the woman in a white, elegant coat, and the man in a suit. The couple stayed for about two and a half hours, admiring the light display. As they were leaving, they told Mr. Barrett, "This is the most beautiful light display we have seen; we saw Jesus more than once through this display." Mr. Barrett responded, "Yes sir, that's what it is all about." The man then asked, "If you don't mind me asking, what does your utility bill usually run putting all this on?" Mr. Barrett replied that it ranged from $750 to $800. The man then asked, "Mr. Barrett, you're also having some health problems, aren't you?" Surprised, Mr. Barrett answered, "Why yes, I am. I currently have bladder cancer, and they have given me five years." The man then asked, "Do you mind if we pray for you?" Mr. Barrett, of course, appreciated the gesture. During the prayer, Mr. Barrett never felt the couple touch him, but he described the experience as if he were floating, swinging his feet back and forth. After the prayer, the man told Mr. Barrett, "Do not let yourself think about that cancer again. God told me He has His hand on you. Also, do not stop doing this light display; God also told me He is going to handle it." Still puzzled by the couple’s kindness, Mr. Barrett hurried to tell his wife, who was entertaining the rest of their guests. She was surprised, telling him, "Honey, there wasn’t a couple here of that description." Mr. Barrett insisted there was and asked several others who were there, but no one recognized the couple he described. The following Wednesday in 2011, Mr. Barrett went to the hospital for a biopsy. The next day, while sitting on the edge of his bed, his phone rang. It was his doctor. Immediately, Mr. Barrett began apologizing for not calling to set up a follow-up. The doctor, however, had surprising news. "Are you sitting down, Mr. Barrett?" he asked. "Yes, sir," Mr. Barrett replied. The doctor then said, "I have your results. Do not ask me any questions because I don’t have the answers, but you’re cancer-free!" Overwhelmed, Mr. Barrett handed the phone to his wife because he couldn’t speak. The doctor sent him for more tests, determined to find any remaining cancer cells. After extensive testing, the results were clear—Mr. Barrett was indeed cancer-free! Weeks later, when the utility bill arrived, Mrs. Barrett noticed something strange. She said, "They must have made a mistake, but I’m sure they’ll catch it next month." Mr. Barrett asked what she meant, and she replied, "Our total utility bill with all three meters is only $187." Mr. Barrett couldn’t help but smile and say, "There is no mistake. God took care of it!"

#War of any kind is never a good thing. People will suffer, resources will be destroyed and livelihood shattered. No life is less important as we are all valued possessions of God. My thought with the Middle East.

@deleosunmakinde Thank you for this opportunity to discover more about Jesus and service as a saved believer.

Dear minister It all began here on x Last June and July, we launched the first cohort of the Mathetheuo School of Ministry, and it was unprecedented. Loud, riveting, and life defining. Ministers joined from fifty two nations, not for motivation, but for real formation. This March, we return with a special five week deep ministry formation training. This is not trend driven ministry talk. It is structured, doctrinal, and transformational, designed for ministers who want clarity, stability, and longevity. If you are called, this will find you. If you are ready, this will shape you. Admission is free. To register, scan the QR code. See you in class.

@deleosunmakinde Deep sir!

The first time the word worship appears in Scripture, there is no music, no choir, no instrument. It is Abraham. “And Abraham said… Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship” and the worship was a journey to Moriah, carrying Isaac. This establishes the biblical frame for worship. Worship, before it ever became sound, was posture. Abraham worshipped by: Obedience – he went where God pointed Alignment – he agreed with God’s word even when it cost him Surrender – he laid down what was most precious Faith – he believed God beyond understanding No song. No atmosphere. No encouragement. Just posture. Worship was not what Abraham sang; it was how he stood before God. From that moment onward, Scripture teaches us that worship is first a stance, then a sound. People stood in reverence. They knelt in surrender. They lifted hands in dependence. They fell on their faces in awe. Each posture preached before any melody followed. This tells us something crucial: God responds to alignment before expression. You can sing loudly and still miss worship. You can be silent and yet fully worshipping. True worship is when the heart bows, the will yields, and the body agrees. Before the song rises, let posture speak. That is worship.

Kudos!

STANZA 'S OF PAIN AND MESSAGE FROM A BARRACK WIDOW: DARKNESS IN THE BARRACKS BUT PARTY LIGHTS OUT SIDE LIKE APRIL FOOLS: Brigadier General Uba, while on National duty was ambushed by ISWAP and Boko Haram and Executed as if he is a criminal. 1. This morning, I wrote as a Barrack Woman with a heart soaked in agony. 2. A pain that shakes the bones. A pain that only those who live inside the barracks can understand. 3. A whole Brigadier General, captured and killed by ISWAP, and instead of people crying with the family, instead of Nigerians feeling the pain of a woman whose entire world just collapsed, they are arguing about tribe and religion. 4. Is this what we have become? A country where humanity has died, and wickedness breathes freely? 5. As a soldier’s wife, this news cut deep into my soul. 6. In the barracks, when soldiers are killed in ambush, the silence is terrifying. Women sit outside with swollen eyes. Children ask questions their mothers cannot answer. Soldiers walk around with heavy hearts, pretending not to fear death, pretending not to feel the sorrow. We, the Barrack Women, carry a sorrow that no outsider can measure. 7. Our men are being used like sacrificial lambs. Sent into battlefields created by wicked leaders and their evil advisers. We watch widows multiply every month. We see fatherless children growing with questions that have no answers. 8. Ambulance sirens have become normal, yet every time we hear it, our hearts break all over again. 9. For how long will our gallant men fall like ordinary animals? For how long will we remain silent? For how long will our leaders sleep peacefully while families drown in tears? 10. Don’t tell us “they are fighting for the nation.” If our leaders wanted this insurgency to end, they know the solution. They know what to do. They know where to strike. They know who is aiding these beasts. 11. But they keep quiet and silence is an agreement. 12. So today, as a Barrack Woman in tears, I lift my voice to the God who answers fire with fire. SO I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY THUS: 13. Whoever is behind this bloodshed, Whoever benefits from it, Whoever sits in secret meetings to prolong this evil, Whoever supplies information, weapons, protection, or encouragement to these demons, Whoever smiles while families cry... 14. May the God of justice visit them. May their secret places be exposed. May their wickedness return to their own heads. May their laughter turn to sorrow. May their hands never know peace. May their generation feel the weight of the innocent blood they have spilled. May the cries of widows and fatherless children rise as a witness against them. 15. Any man or woman who watches this evil and supports it , openly or secretly... May the earth fight them. May heaven resist them. May their protection fail when they need it most. May the same sorrow they sponsor return to their doorstep. 16. And for every Barrack Woman crying silently at night, For every child waiting for a father who may never return, For every soldier standing between life and death... 17. Dear Lord, arise. Fight for us. Shield our men. And let Your judgment sweep through every hand behind this wickedness. 18. We are tired. We are hurting. We are bleeding. But we will not stop praying. Because the God of justice never fails. Mahdi shehu has joined the Barrack woman in saying THUNDEROUS AMEN,.AMEN,.AMEN to her prayers.

@ToyosiGodwin GRACE!

You’ve been called to speak on a topic. The call is impromptu. You have 20 minutes to speak on it. No preparations but you have to deliver. What is that topic?

@TomiArayomi Amen Sir.

This month of August You will not live in honor and die in horror! You will go from being rejected by men to being requested by men!

@CaptJamyl Allah dai ya kawo sauki!

@AKatsibi That’s the problem. I want it now.

Back in the days you bring a pin back to the house without better explanations and defenses, you go kollect. Nobody go send ya papa, you go see banza. These days come back with a Bugatti, “praise the lord! Alhamdullilah!, my childs enemies have failed. park it here, in-fact we need to build a fence to protect this car” 🥱 Are Morals dead or Life’s just hard? At the end, I feel there’s really no justification.

Congratulations Nafisa Abdullahi...we all are proud of the new image you have given Nigeria on the global stage. Thank you dear!

@ruffydfire A laptop only!

@BashirAhmaad The way of every mortal man. May God grant comfort to his immediate family, Katsina Government and the entire people of Nigeria.

INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHIR RAJI’UN. The family of the former president has announced the passing on of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin. Signed, Garba Shehu 13-07-25.

@Solomon_Buchi Cooking: 4/10 Cleaning: 8/10 Organizing: 9/10 Washing: 7/10....let me add, Talking: 10/10

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the Tax Reform Bills into law, which makes a major shift in our tax system. As a Nigerian, this new law directly affects you. So this is a simple breakdown of the law, read to see how it impacts you. 1. FIRS Renamed: The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is now called the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). 2. Unified Revenue Collection: The NRS will now handle revenue collections previously managed by agencies like the Nigeria Customs Service, NUPRC, NPA, and NIMASA. 3. Low-Income Relief: Workers earning ₦800,000 or less annually are now exempted from income tax. 4. High-Income Tax: A 25% personal income tax applies only to individuals earning above ₦50 million annually. 5. Small Business Exemption: Small business owners are fully exempted from paying income tax. 6. Corporate Tax Cut: Starting in 2026, company income tax for medium and large firms will be reduced from 30% to 25%. 7. VAT Exemptions on Essentials: There is no VAT on essential items like food, medical services, pharmaceuticals, school fees, and electricity. 8. No Tax Hike: VAT remains at 7.5%, and corporate income tax stays at 30%—there has been no increase. 9. New Development Levy: A 2%–4% Development Levy will now fund critical national institutions like NELFUND, TETFund, NITDA, and NASENI.

@DeeYasso1 Gwan boss

Yo guys wagwan? Been a minute

@FRSCNigeria A sure way to go. Kudos to the CM and his management team for this laudable step...FRSC should tell her story well

On May 21, 2025, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed held a press conference to highlight the Federal Road Safety Corps' achievements in road safety education and partnerships. Notably, the FRSC has partnered with the "I am the Future of Nigeria Youth Initiative" (IFON) to launch the "Drive Right, Drive Smart" International Road Safety Film Festival. This pioneering initiative in Nigeria uses visual storytelling and celebrity influence to educate the public on road safety rules and responsible driving behavior, complementing existing road safety programs.

@Omojuwa A new season, indeed, for the family. Congratulations Sir/Ma!
