Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one God; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever.

A famous American General once said, The only things worth counting on are people you can count on…so never waste a minute worrying about people who don’t like you or aren’t helping you make a difference in your life. Instead focus on people who will help you make a difference. I say this because something is happening in our country, and most of us don’t fully understand it. The world feels upside down. Every day brings more confusion, more lies, more fear. We’re told who to trust, who to doubt, and who to ignore, but how are we supposed to know who is telling the truth? The institutions we were taught to rely on—our government, the media, the courts, even big corporations—feel broken. Allies turn into enemies overnight. Yesterday’s heroes are today’s villains. Stability feels like it’s slipping through our fingers. So many are left scared, frustrated, and searching for answers that don’t come. We want brutal honesty. We want safety. We want a future for our families. Instead, we get manipulation, deception, and chaos. Too many of the wrong people have been protected for far too long. To change this, we must educate ourselves, ask tough questions, and demand transparency from those in power. We are at a turning point in America, not red versus blue, but truth versus lies, the people versus the system, freedom versus control. If justice comes, if corruption is truly exposed, it won’t just change politics; it could shake the foundations of our country and the world! We feel the weight of history pressing down, and deep down, we know this isn’t normal. What we need now is collective courage, honesty, and moral clarity. Most of all, we need to stop pretending everything is fine because it isn’t. A society that abandons truth abandons everything. As Thomas Paine once said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” Stick to those people you can count on. Take control of what you can control. Get involved and speak up. One life to live, make it matter.

Sooner or later, you are going to come to your senses and see that I was telling you the truth, all along. Everything is rigged. They give you the illusion of choice. The fallacy of voting. The myth of free markets. Healthcare that actually is sickcare... keeping you ill, paying for life with illness, versus real healing. They want you to hate your neighbor. They want you so angry with this broken system that you take matters into your own hands. Then the trap is closed... the real lock down. Don't fall for it. Love your neighbor. You can't say what you want for fear of consequence from your governments. They force you to endure mass migration of people who don't wish to live civilized but would rape and trample over your culture, beliefs and sanctity and peace; while leaching off the taxpayer's back. They engineer wars to thin the herd and profit on the blood and lives of your children... and you think your gimmicks overlaid on charts has any sway over price movement or predicts it. You sipped their tea for far too long. Sober up. The real stuff is about to commence... ready or not.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who recently lost her 21-month-old son, has released a statement detailing the circumstances surrounding his death. ARISE News reached out to Adichie’s media team, who confirmed that she did author the statement. According to her representatives, the message was originally sent privately to family members and a few close friends. "My son would be alive today if not for an incident at Euracare Hospital on January 6th. We were in Lagos for Christmas. Nkanu had what we first thought was just a cold, but soon turned into a very serious infection and he was admitted to Atlantis hospital. He was to travel to the US the next day, January 7th, accompanied by Travelling Doctors. A team at Johns Hopkins was waiting to receive him in Baltimore. The Hopkins team had asked for a lumbar puncture test and an MRI. The Nigerian team had also decided to put in a 'central line' (used to administer iv medications) in preparation for Nkanu's flight. Atlantis hospital referred us to Euracare Hospital, which was said to be the best place to have the procedures done. The morning of the 6th, we left Atlantis hospital for Euracare, Nkanu carried in his father's arms. We were told he would need to be sedated to prevent him from moving during the MRI and the 'central line' procedure. I was waiting just outside the theater. I saw people, including Dr M, rushing into the theater and immediately knew something had happened. A short time later, Dr M came out and told me Nkanu had been given too much propofol by the anesthesiologist, had become unresponsive and was quickly resuscitated. But suddenly Nkanu was on a ventilator, he was intubated and placed in the ICU. The next thing I heard was that he had seizures. Cardiac arrest. All these had never happened before. Some hours later, Nkanu was gone It turns out that Nkanu was NEVER monitored after being given too much propofol. The anesthesiologist had just casually carried Nkanu on his shoulder to the theater, so nobody knows when exactly Nkanu became unresponsive. How can you sedate a sick child and neglect to monitor him? Later, after the 'central line' procedure, the anesthesiologist casually switched off Nkanu's oxygen and again decided to carry him on his shoulder to the ICU! The anesthesiologist was CRIMINALLY negligent. He was fatally casual and careless with the precious life of a child. No proper protocol was followed. We brought in a child who was unwell but stable and scheduled to travel the next day. We came to conduct basic procedures. And suddenly, our beautiful little boy was gone forever. It is like living your worst nightmare. I will never survive the loss of my child. We have now heard about two previous cases of this same anesthesiologist overdosing children. Why did Euracare allow him to keep working? This must never happen to another child".

welcome to 2026

One important historical footnote worth adding here. Several years before Columbus, an African king attempted the same thing — and arguably with far greater risk. His name was Abu Bakr II, also known as Mansa Abu Bakr, ruler of the Mali Empire in the early 14th century. According to the Arab historian al-Umari, who recorded conversations with Mansa Musa (the famous Malian emperor who later ruled Mali), Abu Bakr became obsessed with what lay beyond the Atlantic Ocean. He did not act on impulse. He first sent an exploratory expedition of hundreds of ships westward. Only one vessel returned. Its captain reported that the fleet was caught in a powerful ocean current and swallowed by the sea. Abu Bakr was not deterred. He organized a second, much larger expedition, reportedly involving thousands of ships, stocked with food, water, and gold. And then he did something extraordinary: he abdicated the throne, handed power to Mansa Musa, and personally led the expedition himself. He never returned. There is no solid archaeological proof that Abu Bakr reached the Americas, and serious historians should be honest about that. But what is documented is this: an African ruler, decades before Columbus, deliberately planned transoceanic exploration, tested it, learned from failure, and then committed himself fully, even at the cost of power and life.

Merry Christmas

“We cannot trample upon the humanity of others without devaluing our own. The Igbo, always practical, put it concretely in their proverb Onye ji onye n'ani ji onwe ya: "He who will hold another down in the mud must stay in the mud to keep him down.” ― Chinua Achebe, The Education of a British-Protected Child: Essays

The is exactly the problem with tech founders. Out of touch with reality, overinflated ego and solving anything but actual problems. Nigerian founders are the worst, giving our current stage of industrialization. If you complain that cost of food is too high, they will build app to order food. They will package and package until force themselves into govt where real problem solving skills are required, they would get exposed like your current Minister of Digital Economy.

@abs_special No be only reduce Police brutality. The same glasses wey them go seize from your eyes. Ask Sowore.

The Federal Government must come clean with Nigerians. The quiet appointment of Xpress Payments Solutions Limited as a new TSA collecting agent is not an administrative decision, it is a dangerous resurrection of the Alpha Beta revenue cartel that dominated Lagos State during and after the Tinubu years. That model created a private toll gate around public revenue and funnelled state funds into the hands of a politically connected monopoly. What we are witnessing now is the attempt to nationalise that same template, moving Nigeria from a republic to a private holding company controlled by a small circle of vested interests. To introduce such a policy in the middle of a national tragedy, while Nigerians are mourning loved ones lost to the deepening insecurity crisis, is not only insensitive, it is a deliberate act of governance by stealth. When a nation is grieving, leadership should show empathy and focus on securing lives, not on expanding private revenue pipelines. This latest move raises fundamental questions: Why was this appointment rushed and smuggled into the public space without consultation, stakeholder engagement, or National Assembly oversight? What value does Xpress Payments add that existing TSA channels do not already provide? Who truly benefits from this? Nigeria or an entrenched political network? This is not reform. This is state capture masquerading as digital innovation. Let me be clear: Nigeria does not need more middlemen between citizens and their government revenue. What we need is greater transparency, stronger institutions, and a tax system free from political capture. I therefore call for the following: 1. Immediate suspension of the Xpress Payments appointment pending a public inquiry; 2. Full disclosure of the contractual terms, beneficiaries, fee structures, and selection criteria; 3. A comprehensive audit of TSA operations to prevent the creeping privatisation of revenue collection; 4. A legal framework, not executive shortcuts, that prohibits the insertion of private proxies into core government revenue systems; 5. A national security priority shift, recognising that a country under assault cannot afford economic governance conducted in the shadows. Nigeria’s revenues are not political spoils. They are the lifeblood of our national survival, especially at a time when insecurity is tearing communities apart. The government must abandon this Lagos-style revenue cartelisation and return to the path of transparency, constitutionalism, and public accountability. -AA businessday.ng/companies/arti…
