Yoruba adage: He who is poor should not appease Osun. His matters are not spiritual. But If he likes to fool himself, he can appease the Sango as well as obatala. But he should know that until he chooses to work, he stays hungry. There's no deity for lazy people. #GoodMorning

If the NDC truly seeks the kind of political momentum and mass emotional investment that @PeterObi brought to the Labour Party, then they must be prepared to surrender more than a ticket or ceremonial leadership. They would have to cede the soul, structure, and strategic direction of the party to him — almost entirely. That means restraining their instinct to supervise, dictate, or micromanage how the movement is built, mobilised, and weaponised for electoral victory. But such a bargain comes with consequences. A number of the old political landlords may need to quietly gather their baggage and stand close to the exit door, because once the Obidient movement fully settles into a political home, ownership changes hands psychologically before it changes structurally. The original custodians of the platform could suddenly find themselves politically homeless within the very walls they built. In that eventuality, perhaps only the Kwakwasiyya Movement flank of the broader opposition pilgrimage may possess enough independent machinery and ideological stubbornness to withstand, or negotiate with, the fierce zeal of the irrational myrmidons that accompany political awakenings masquerading as movements.

Those kids comparing their fleeting stars — whose names are scarcely whispered in the halls where Michael Jackson was forged — can now see that legendary status is not built on catchy beats, chart numbers, or even the size of crowds alone. To become a legend is to transcend the stage itself. It is to bend culture, time, language, fashion, movement, and emotion into one immortal force. It is to become memory before death ever arrives. Michael Jackson was not merely famous. He became myth. The epitome of Legendary.

A symbol of……. Complete the sentence 🤣

Except that the records turned to dust and become ineffable 🤣

The kind of narratives signposting our unwavering commitment to Nigeria!

I stand on the shoulders of giants! What is there not to be grateful for? Which of the mercies of my Lord will I deny? #GratefulHeart #Alhamdulillah

And then…. A team of rivals! 🤔

Next musings… The Question of Character🤔

Ricochet: The Force of Rebound A force does not end where it meets resistance—it transforms. What appears to be a halt is often a moment of recalibration, where motion negotiates with obstruction and emerges altered, not extinguished. In that instant of impact, direction is not lost; it is reconsidered. Ricochet is the physics of persistence. Energy, once set in motion, does not simply vanish—it adapts. When a path is blocked, movement finds another expression. The rebound is not failure but intelligence in motion, a response shaped by encounter, where force learns to continue differently. In human terms, ricochet is resilience refined. Every ambition meets resistance, yet within that friction lies redirection, clarity, and renewed purpose. True power, then, is not merely in how far we go, but in our ability to absorb impact, adjust course, and continue—changed, but not diminished. — Aare Ago

Your narrative is wrong. Wale Edun is loved and respected amongst the civil servants of the Federal Ministry of Finance.

Thank You for the Opportunity to Serve Nigeria I wish to thank His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for the opportunity to serve our country from the outset of his administration in May 2023; first as head of the Presidential Transition Committee, then in my role as Special Adviser on Monetary Policy, before my appointment as Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy. It has been an honour to contribute to the implementation of the administration’s economic agenda at a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s journey. Mr President assumed office with our country facing difficult economic circumstances. Under his leadership, we have worked collectively across government to advance critical reforms that stabilised the macroeconomic environment, strengthened fiscal sustainability, and laid the foundation for inclusive and long-term growth. Key results of these efforts include: growth improving from a rate of 2% to over 4%, and inflation falling from 35% to 15%. These outcomes were driven by a shared commitment to restoring public trust and enabling faster and inclusive growth; through greater investor confidence and improved economic coordination. I am proud of what we achieved alongside colleagues in the Federal Executive Council, State Governors, our partners in the public and private sectors, and the many dedicated professionals whose work continues to support the nation’s economic transformation. While much remains to be done, the direction is clear and the foundations are firmly in place. I thank, too, all stakeholders, both domestic and international, for their collaboration, encouragement and support throughout this period of service. The work of economic reform is, by its nature, a continuous process; I remain optimistic about Nigeria’s trajectory. I wish my successor and the entire government the very best as they continue the work of improving the lives of Nigerians. I remain fully committed to the service of our country and to supporting Mr President. Signed. Wale Edun, OFR, CVO

@FritzShasha This is 40! Forty chapters of courage, forty echoes of grace, forty proofs that life— despite everything— is still worth the telling. Happy Birthday! And may this bring forth success, greatness, and happiness in your life!

Who is Peter Obi again that Rotimi Amaechi should step down for him? And why is Obi afraid to test his influence amongst his people?

@queenee02 Confidently spewing nonsense!

“Ondo was founded by the Benin people. The Yoruba language was created by Ajayi Crowther, he created the grammar, he created the structure for the language. The Yoruba people don’t speak the same language. Where exactly did the Yoruba language came from?” “We the Benin people were locked in the Yoruba block until we started to say no. We fought for mid-western region. That was the plan of the British, they wanted to shut us down to make sure we didn’t exist” What a beautiful nonsense.

Life is no single reel, but a restless cinema of shifting lenses, where truth bends with every angle and meaning wears many masks. Yet within this vast theatre, you are no extra drifting through borrowed scripts—you are the lead, burdened with the weight of choice and consequence. So act deliberately andhonourably; for the stage remembers, and history is a ruthless archivist of all who played their part poorly — Aare Ago (2026) #RevOP

First, you don’t rank injustice like WAEC. Nobody is “better” or “fairer” at violating human rights simply because they did it less. That logic is a farce—it diminishes justice, cheapens human life, and insults the very idea of rights. To answer you directly: both Abdulsalami Abubakar and late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua stand above Olusegun Obasanjo—the former within a military context, the latter within a democratic one. Given the scale of abuses across regimes, it is almost easy to forget that Abdulsalami himself was a Head of State; save for the unresolved and troubling death of Chief MKO Abiola. But let us not confuse lesser harm with justice, nor mistake restraint for righteousness. Otherwise, all we are left with is vocabulary… trying to clean blood.

@AareAgo @OgbeniDipo Name a better Head of State please. I didn’t say any of them was good. I said “a bit fair…”

These are some of the prominent victims of General Sani Abacha between 1993 till 1998. The killings and attacks were allegedly done by the 'Strike Force' or 'BGs', under Maj. Hamza El Mustapha. 1. Chief M.K.O. Abiola – Imprisoned, then killed in detention in 1998 2. General Shehu Musa Yar'Adua: Imprisoned and died in 1997 after being given a lethal injection 3. Kudirat Abiola: The wife of Chief M.K.O. Abiola, shot and killed in Lagos in 1996 4. Ken Saro-Wiwa and Ogoni Nine (Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel & John Kpuinen), executed by hanging in 1995 5. Chief Alfred Rewane: A prominent financier of NADECO, murdered in his home in Lagos in 1995 6. Rear Admiral Babatunde Elegbede: Shot and killed in Lagos in 1994 7. Admiral Emmanuel Olu Omotehinwa: Shot and killed in his home in 1996 8. Chief (Mrs) Bisoye Tejuoso: Murdered in Abeokuta in 1996 9. Alhaja Suliat Adedeji: Killed at her residence in Ibadan in 1996 10. Toyin Onagoruwa: Lawyer & son of sacked Minister of Justice, Dr Olu Onagoruwa, killed in 1996 11. Dr Sola Omatsola: Head of Security; killed in a bomb blast at Murtala Muhammad Airport in 1997 12. Tunde Oladepo: Bureau Chief of The Guardian in Ogun State, shot at home in 1998 13. General Oladipo Diya: Targeted with bomb blast; later imprisoned 14. Alex Ibru (publisher of The Guardian): Shot in the eye in 1996 15. Chief Abraham Adesanya: Relied on 'Yoruba Science' & somehow survived a drive-by shooting in 1997. Is this the man you are claiming will be remembered as more democratic and more respectful of human rights than NADECO activists? It is okay to disagree with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's politics but to try to rewrite our history is really unfortunate.

@Sobayo_AJQ @OgbeniDipo Then you don’t know Obasanjo enough. As both a Military Head of States and a democratically elected President, the records do not rank Obasanjo so high as this.

@OgbeniDipo Obasanjo was the only Nigerian Head of State that was a bit fair in human rights.

Sani Abacha was a ruthless and deeply repressive ruler. For those who dared challenge his authority, the outcomes were stark and constant: incarceration or death. Imprisonment was often reserved for those he considered lesser threats, while death loomed over figures whose stature could not be contained within prison walls. And the lists were endless on both sides. Self-exile, through the NADECO routes, remained a third path for activists resolute in the liberation of Nigeria. But a fourth option also existed—the path some took without coercion. They became instruments of the regime, enriching it even as they enriched themselves, and in doing so enabled the machinery of repression in a land soaked in the blood of heroes. @PeterObi belong to the fourth!

I have to join this comedy 🤣🤣
