Snapchat just reminded me of a letter my brother wrote to me four years ago. He wrote it while he was still in secondary school. He had come home for midterm break and stayed with me. On the day he was heading back, I was taking him to the park and left my phone with him. Till today, I still don’t know what he did with that phone, it disappeared. We searched everywhere, even went back along the route we came. That was my only phone at the time. He still went back to school regardless, he later wrote me a letter from school, telling me how bad he felt about everything. The cutest part? He wrote and sent it on my birthday. 😂♥️

My father never came to a single thing I invited him to. Not my primary school graduation. Not my secondary school prize giving where I collected 3 awards and kept looking at the gate. Not my university matriculation. Not the ceremony when I got called to bar in 2012. I'd send him the date weeks in advance and he'd say I'll try and that was always the full sentence. I'll try. No follow up. No explanation after. My mother would sit in his place and clap loud enough for 2 people. I stopped inviting him after the bar call. Not from anger. Some people love you completely and still cannot show up and after a while you stop making them feel guilty about it. He was not a bad man. I want to be clear about that. He was a mechanic in Mushin for 35 years. Worked 6 days a week. Sent every one of us to school. Never raised his hand. Never left. The lights stayed on and the rent was paid and there was always food and he did all of it quietly without asking to be celebrated. He just could not sit in a plastic chair and watch something. I accepted that and moved on. Last year I bought my first property. A flat in Ojodu. Took 9 years of saving and 2 years of paperwork and a lawyer who nearly finished me. When the keys finally came I sat in the empty flat on the floor for an hour just breathing. I called my mother first. She screamed. My sister cried. I didn't call my father. 3 days later he called me. Said he heard about the flat from my mother. Said he wanted to come and see it. I didn't know what to do with that so I just said okay. Gave him the address. Figured he'd say I'll try and we'd never speak of it again. He showed up on Saturday at 9am. Stood at the door in his good agbada. The one he only wears for serious things. Holding a small nylon bag. I let him in and he walked through every room without speaking. Not quickly. Slowly. Like he was counting something. He checked the pipes under the kitchen sink. Knocked on the walls. Opened and closed the windows twice each. Looked at the ceiling in every room the way only a man who has fixed things his whole life looks at ceilings. Then he came and stood in the sitting room and looked at me. Said the pipework is good. Said the windows seal properly. Said whoever built this knew what they were doing. I nodded. Long silence. Then he opened the nylon bag. Inside was a small framed photo. Me at maybe 7 years old sitting on the bonnet of an old car in his workshop. Grinning. Both legs swinging. He's standing beside me with his hand on my shoulder looking at something outside the frame. I remember that day. I had gone to the workshop after school and he let me sit there while he worked and gave me a Fanta and put a Michael Jackson cassette on the small radio. I didn't know anyone had taken a photo. He said he kept it on his workshop table for 22 years. Said he wanted me to have something for the new place. I held that frame and stood very still. He said he knew he missed things. Said he was not good at the sitting and watching. That crowds made something in him go wrong in a way he never knew how to explain. Then he said the flat was good and he was proud and he asked if there was anything in the kitchen because he hadn't eaten. I laughed. Made him eggs and bread while he sat at my kitchen table in his good agbada like he owned the place. We ate and he told me about a car he was working on. I told him about a case that was giving me trouble. Normal conversation. The kind we should have been having for years. He left at 1pm. At the door he gripped my shoulder the same way he did in that photo. Didn't say anything. Didn't need to. The photo is on my sitting room wall now. First thing I hung in the whole flat. Some fathers cannot sit in the plastic chair. But mine drove to Ojodu in his good agbada on a Saturday morning with a 22 year old photograph in a nylon bag. That was his standing ovation. I just didn't know to look for it in that shape.

So according to the news I just read, someone reported a civil dispute relating to the purchase of a property in Lagos to the police and now the Federal High Court in Lagos has awarded the sum of ₦500 million in damages jointly and severally against the police and the person who reported to the police. Let me break down what happened and why this is a warning to a lot of people in Nigeria. According to the story, a civil dispute over the purchase of a 3-bedroom bungalow at Abijo GRA, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, was wrongly escalated to the police. In December 2020, real estate developer Dr. Harrison Agboifon (Managing Director of Landmark Corporate Realty Limited) agreed to sell the property to Mr. Bright Solomon Omozejele (Managing Director of Solviz Resources Limited) for ₦36.5 million after negotiations. The buyers paid only ₦19 million and then stopped, breaching the payment agreement. Instead of pursuing the matter through the civil courts as required by law, Mr. Omozejele petitioned the Commissioner of Police in charge of Interpol at Force Headquarters, Abuja, boasting that powerful connections in Abuja would be used to “forcefully collect” the property. This led to persistent threats, harassment, and intimidation by senior police officers, including the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Commissioner of Police (Interpol), the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Interpol), and CSP Abdullahi Sanusi who issued invitations for Dr. Agboifon to appear in Abuja over a purely Lagos-based civil transaction. Now, the Federal High Court in Lagos (Suit No. FHC/L/CS/16644/2023, per Justice Lewis Allagoa) delivered a landmark ruling declaring the entire police and Interpol involvement unlawful. The court held that the matter was civil, not criminal, and that inviting or threatening to arrest someone for a non-criminal property contract dispute violates fundamental rights to liberty under Section 35(1) and (3) of the 1999 Constitution. Justice Allagoa explicitly described the Abuja invitation and threats as “intimidation, harassment and unlawful.” In a crushing judgment, the court awarded ₦500 million in damages jointly and severally against all the respondents including the IGP, Commissioner of Police (Interpol), Deputy Commissioner of Police (Interpol), CSP Abdullahi Sanusi, Mr. Bright Solomon Omozejele, Solviz Resources Limited, and the police authorities. The court also granted perpetual injunctions restraining the police, Interpol, and their agents from further harassing, intimidating, arresting, or inviting Dr. Agboifon in connection with the matter. In this exact setting, the parties (especially the complainant and the police officers involved) could have used Case Radar to avoid this entire costly fiasco. Case Radar is Nigeria’s leading legal intelligence platform that instantly helps you with legal advice and legal research. A quick search on @UseCaseRadar would have immediately flagged a long line of judicial authorities holding that police have no business investigating or arresting citizens over pure civil disputes such as land contracts, debt recovery, or breach of sale agreements. Case Radar would have shown, in seconds, that such actions constitute unlawful intimidation and expose officers (and their superiors) to massive damages, exactly what happened here. Even the police officers, who should know better, would have received legal advice from @UseCaseRadar that relocating a Lagos civil dispute to Force Headquarters Abuja for “investigation” amounts to unconstitutional harassment. Had anyone simply used Case Radar before the petition was written or the invitation letters issued, they would have known the red flags and the outcome would have been clearly to refer the buyer to the courts for specific performance or damages, not drag the seller to Abuja under police escort. Instead, the failure to consult this basic legal safeguard has now cost the respondents half a billion naira and earned them a perpetual injunction stopping any further intimidation. This case is a textbook reminder that when it’s civil, keep it civil; and when in doubt about anything relating to law, @UseCaseRadar is the fastest, most reliable way to confirm the law before costly mistakes are made.

🇳🇬 Today, @theflutterwave announces a Nigerian banking license. It is a defining step in our 10-year journey to build the financial infrastructure powering Africa’s future. A decade ago, we started with a simple belief: better infrastructure changes everything. Payments failed too often, settlement was slow, and expanding meant rebuilding from scratch. So we focused on connecting what was fragmented. With the acquisition of @mono_hq earlier this year, we deepened that connectivity. Now we are going further by building a unified platform where businesses can open accounts, accept and send payments, manage payouts, run payroll, and operate across currencies in one place, with access to lending and working capital powered by real transaction data. Businesses can now run their entire financial operations seamlessly, while developers can build new financial products directly on our infrastructure at scale. We can now build, innovate and solve customer problems faster than before because we now control the value chain of payments in Nigeria. Our destiny is now in our hands. We are reimagining banking for Africa’s future. Faster. Smarter. Built for scale. 🚀🦋 Learn more: flutterwave.com/us/blog/owning… flutterwave.com/ng/bank

You don't need to be a politician to know how Tinubu/APC will rig 2027. 1. Joash Amupitan/Inec will glitch to prevent real-time transmission 2. Tunji Disu (IGP)'s sudden redistribution of the police force isn't a masterstroke, na political move. 3. More rice, beans, garri handouts. 4. Using the Governor’s and Cabinet to recreate Obj 2003 and 2007. The real question is, "AS A PEOPLE, HOW HUNGRY, POOR AND DETERMINED ARE WE TO SEND TINUBU PACKING?"

This girl invited me out for a date and I came with my friend for security and she refused to pay for his food. She could have just said she could not afford it. I bought food for my friend and stood up and left. She did not even call to apologize or to know if I got home safe. 👎
