@dn_atheist You may not need roads, but industrial and commercial producers who will employ the good citizens of the republic do. Consumption people? Nobody gives a damn about you. Na only to take una dey good for.

May our eyes be open to see that we don't need leaders who build highways, bridges, and airports to nowhere. But what we need are power, security, rule of law, and good basic infrastructure.

We tracked the Sokoto Badagry Super-Highway from both ends this month, the Lagos axis and Sokoto axis. On the Lagos end, the project is currently within Ogun State, stretching from Diya Gate, OPIC Estate, Agbara to Iyana Idoye, Lusada. Sparse work was observed at Odugbe in Lusada, Ado Odo/Ota LGA. The project terminated at Phase 4, Atan with only one side of the road under construction by Hitech Construction Company Limited. At the Sokoto end in Illela LGA, work was ongoing, bush clearing, sand filling, and site preparation. On the section towards Katami, Silame LGA, Sokoto and in Kebbi State, some portions have been completed with concrete paving and solar lighting installed. Progress is uneven and slow. Now here is what has been committed on paper, FEC has approved contracts worth N2.36tn for the highway since 2024, (N947bn for Kebbi single carriageway in August 2024, N456bn for Sokoto 120km section in October 2024 flagoff and N961bn for Kebbi second carriageway for August 2025). Just 3 days ago, President @officialABAT sent a fresh request to the Senate for a $516.3m loan from Deutsche Bank, the largest single external injection into this project yet. But the Minister of Works, @realdaveumahi admitted in February 2026 that only N210.31bn, 9.7% of expected 2025 capital releases have actually been paid to contractors. Contractors across @FMWNIG projects are owed N2.2tn for advanced work. Commitments on paper. The total cost of this 1,068km highway alone is projected at over N6.5tn, borrowed money, at a time when Nigeria already spends substantial part of her total revenue servicing existing debt. We urgently call on the Federal Government of Nigeria and @nassnigeria to; - Properly scrutinize every new loan. - Release funds owed to contractors. - Publish quarterly disbursement reports for this highways. - Scrutinise the $516.3m Deutsche Bank loan terms transparently. Citizens deserve infrastructure and fiscal accountability, not one without the other. #Publicfundsmustforthegoodofthepeople #AskQuestions

For the first 300 years, Christians fought each other over christology. They couldn't tell who Jesus was. Was he man? God? Half and half? Full and full? These disagreements still survive today. But God is not an author of confusion.

Christianity is one of those beliefs that can sound normal when you grow up around it, but once you step outside it and look at it critically, a lot of it starts to feel very absurd. You’re told to believe extraordinary claims like virgin births, resurrections, miracles, demons, answered prayers, and a God who controls the universe, yet the evidence is usually faith, old stories, and personal feelings. If these same claims came from any other religion, many Christians would reject them immediately. Then there’s the problem of suffering. We’re told God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and loving, yet the world is full of war, disease, disasters, starvation, and children dying painfully every day. If someone has the power to stop that and chooses not to, calling them loving becomes difficult. The Bible itself raises problems. Christians call it perfect truth, yet believers disagree on what it means, split into countless denominations, and often choose which verses are literal and which are symbolic depending on modern comfort levels. Many biblical stories also look like products of ancient people trying to explain the world before science: floods covering the whole earth, talking snakes, demons causing illness, humans made from dust, women from ribs. If written today, most people would classify them as myths. And then there is God’s silence. If God wants everyone to know him and have a relationship with him, why is his presence so unclear that sincere, intelligent people across the world honestly do not believe? When you step back, Christianity can look less like revealed truth and more like a man-made system built from fear, hope, tradition, and the need for meaning. Once faith is removed from the equation, much of it stops looking sacred and starts looking strangely human.

Some people are deluded enough to believe a person cam be 100% man and 100% God. Christianity only makes sense the moment you stop thinking.

It's sad how we humans have normalized killings. Everyday you read of how people are killed. Schools, hospitals, communities, bombed. My daughter is ill and as i held her in my hands the thought of her dying scared me. These people we're killing are people's daughters and sons.

Refunding unearned monies to your clients or customers even when you are not sure it is the right thing to do, will earn you valuable good will. Honesty and trust are rare commodities. Clients and customers will send you referrals once they know you are honest and trustworthy.

@dn_atheist @OfficiaEdoOsasB We're in 2026, Islam is the problem now. Christianity now is not a threat as compared to Islam. Mind you, when Christians committed those atrocities you mentioned, Islam was at the other side of the world doing the same thing.

Failing to support Israel is a betrayal of Christ. To oppose the Jewish State is to oppose God’s "prophetic clock." If Israel is the stage for Jesus' return, withholding support isn't just politics - it’s an attempt to stall the Kingdom. You cannot long for the King while opposing His Kingdom.

@abdullahayofel Alex Otti has been governor for less than 4 years. He's starting from the scratch. Sanwolu is working on a project that has been decades in the making. You can make your point without referencing Alex Otti.

When people tell me God loves the world, I look at them in astonishment. This world or another one?

For civilization to be pervasive, it has to be cultural. We may have civilized Nigerians. But because the civilization is not cultural, the country still feels uncivilized even inside the high rises of Lagos Island or Victoria Island.

Greed will deprive you of a lot of opportunities. It makes you eat your future today. I did a legal transaction with someone. I told him I would pay him up to 50% of what I earn for his services. When the transaction was successful, 50% would be over N100 million. He asked me if I'd truly give him his fees and I said yes I would. He didn't believe or trust I would. He even discussed it with his wife and tld her he was afraid I'd cheat him. His wife told him that from what he said about me it seems I'm trustworthy. I later sent him his money. He was astonished. Days later he called me and said he knows I've been wanting to purchase an office. Says he owns a building which would be a good office building. Says he changed his will to leave the building for me when he dies. He's 76 years. I never imagined I'd not give him his money. It didn't even cross my mind not to. I've received immense favours from people simply because they know I'm not greedy, I won't cheat them, and they can trust me. These are virtues to cultivate if you want to go far in life.

@omgjulissaa Social media is a dangerous place. I've only conceived the possibility of anal sex since reading about it on social media. It doesn't come naturally. That's why the Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence cos out of it comes the issues of life.
