Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Before You Buy That Laptop, Read This!
Too many people are buying laptops they don’t understand.
You just walk in, see “Intel dual core”, the seller smiles, you pay ₦120K…
Then two weeks later, you’re crying because it’s slow.
First, understand this: the processor is the brain.
It decides how fast your laptop can think.
And just like people, some brains think faster than others.
Now, there are three main families ruling the streets:
Intel. AMD. Apple M-Series.
Let’s break them down:
⚙️ 1. INTEL: The OG in the game.
Intel has been running this show for decades.
But inside Intel, there are different “levels” of brains.
Here’s what they mean:
A. Intel Celeron → For typing, browsing, YouTube. It’s weak. Don’t buy it if you’re doing serious work.
B. Intel Pentium → A little better, but still entry-level. Good for office basics, not creative work.
C. Intel Core Series → This is where the real work happens.
a. Core i3 → For students, writers, and light users.
b. Core i5 → Balanced for freelancers, designers, and marketers.
c. Core i7 → Power user level — for editors, coders, and cybersecurity pros.
d. Core i9 → Monster. Expensive, but built for high-end creators and gamers.
Pro Tip: Don’t waste money on i9 because it sounds “pro.”
If all you do is Word, Canva, and Core i5 will serve you like royalty.
🔥 2. AMD: The Quiet Beast
AMD came for Intel’s neck and it’s been a beautiful fight.
Their processors are called Ryzen.
Ryzen gives you strong performance for less money.
Here’s the power scale:
Ryzen 3 = Core i3
Ryzen 5 = Core i5
Ryzen 7 = Core i7
Ryzen 9 = Core i9
Bonus: AMD has better built-in graphics.
So if you design, edit, or game Ryzen 5 or 7 gives you crazy value.
3. Apple M-Series: The Silent Assassin
Then Apple said, “Forget Intel, we’ll make our own.”
And they dropped M1, M2, M3and now M4.
These chips are super-efficient, quiet, fast, and smooth like butter.
But they live only inside MacBooks.
M1 is great. M2 is faster. M3 is for the gods. M4 the beast.
Note: They’re expensive, but worth it if you live inside the Apple ecosystem.
I do hope you learned something Here.
Tommorow we talk about RAM and Storage.

Thank you God for all the previous victories,
Am grateful.
Now I commit this first one into your hands.. crown our effort and help us to smile.
Let not the plans of our rivals come to pass on us.
Give us on Sunday, our first trophy for this year.
This I pray in Jesus name, amen

It's actually crazy how that whole Everton match could still be for nothing if we just lose our next match against the team with the longest unbeaten run in the league, the only team not to lose since the first game week of the year.

That 30 minute blitz is enough to give Arteta the epiphany he needs to maximise Arsenal’s margins.
22/23 dynamics.
Back 5 build and support, front 5 attack.
Fluid, but sensibly balanced.
Except now it’s much better because of the XI, depth, defensive + set-piece dominance…

@adilo__ @tobicious_abhay They are hoping ManCity will win and therefore place Arsenal under pressure

Pastor Paul Enenche is 58 years old, & has been married for 31 years.
I have been married for a little over half of that.
But we are saying the same things when it comes to a man being the provider.
And we are both providers to our respective families.
Telling you that, if your wife earns N1m, and you earn N100k, and that you should give her N50k from it, is wisdom that many of you have failed to see the depth of its meaning & importance.
Is it 50k that would truly feed the wife, kids and handle the expenses?
The answer is no.
What he's saying is that you as the man should not feel entitled to your wife's money.
And that just because she's making way more than you're making, then you should relax and say she should take over from you as the provider.
He mentioned that giving your wife half of what you earn, despite her earning more, shows that you care.
And it shows that if you have more, you'd give.
Your wife will respect you better than the wife of a man who feels entitled to her money.
He's speaking wisdom.
You're the one that doesn't want to think, neither do you really have a full grasp of his message, even if you're a married man.
Lastly, there would surely be some imbalance or friction in a marriage where the wife earns more.
But a wise husband that is not greedy, will retain his position as the head of his home, for a much longer time, while he works harder to bridge the gap.
Not feel relaxed because his wife is always stepping into his roles and responsibilities for him.
End.

It was never about the money... And that's what a lot of people dragging this issue fails to understand.
Is ₦50k enough to run a home? Big NO! But is Is ₦50k enough to show INTENTION? YES.
A man must not become a parasite in his own house,,, Provision is not about how much you have it is about what you are willing to give. A man who earns little & still gives,
is announcing something to his wife that look “If I had more, you would not beg.” And that message is heavier than what you bring to the table as a man at home.
That ₦50k is not feeding the house,,, it is saying “I am still responsible.” or “I am not waiting for you to save me from myself.” That kind of man will always be respected even when his pocket is small. Because respect is not built on income, it is built on INTENTION.
The whole idea of "A man's money is our money" is not about feeding the home,,, it's about feeding RESPECT. Many of you men still don't know women oooo... Let people who have lived with them for a long time tell you more about them. The danger is not that a woman earns more. The danger is when a man starts feeling entitled to her earnings. When he begins to think that “Since you have, you should carry everything.” That is not partnership. That is what I'll call ABDICATION.
A man does not lose leadership because he earns less. He loses leadership when he stops trying. I know some women can carry weight but she must never carry a lazy spirit.
So don't think Pastor Paul or Agba are teaching FINANCE,,, Incase you want to argue like an economist,,, they are teaching POSTURE. That even when you are behind, stand like a man going forward. Because the home does not collapse when the woman earns more,,, it only collapses when the man stops trying.
Provision is not a number but a mindset. And any man who understands that will never lose his place,,, even when life humbles his pocket.

@Khaytweets Skelly is better on the ball
And can invert way better than Timber

Lewis-Skelly will perform better than Timber at left-back at this point.

If Bruno Fernandes was Arsenal’s number 10 instead of Martin Odegaard over the last few seasons, Arsenal would have won the Premier League title on at least one occasion and would presently be at least 12 points clear at the top of the table.
