Nigeria Bleeds
Arriving back from my visit to Kano this evening, I received disturbing news and images from Jos of a painful attack at the Angwa Rukuba area, Jos North, Plateau State.
The recurring loss of innocent lives in Plateau State reminds us, yet again, of the insecurity innocent citizens face in our nation without any protection. These continuous devastating headlines are a reminder of a nation that is steadily normalising the loss of its own people.
It is unacceptable that these attacks happen with such frequency, and even more unacceptable that there seems to be no decisive, sustained strategy to end them. No nation or leader normalises tragedy.
The safety of Nigerian lives must become non-negotiable, we cannot continue to mourn what should have been prevented. Enough is enough.
My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones. May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and their memories never be forgotten. I pray that we get a country where the loss of lives is no longer a recurring reality.
We cannot continue like this. -PO

President @officialABAT is running the Most Useless Government in the history of Useless Governments!!!
How many more Nigerians have to die due to this abysmal level of incompetence?
Nigerians wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other.
Unbearably heart-wrenching!!!

Yesterday, Monday 30th March, I returned to the North's Commercial nerve centre, Kano, on the invitation of my dear elder brother, Senator, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM, whose decision to join our party marks yet another significant step in the collective effort to rescue and rebuild our democracy and dear nation, Nigeria.
As I have consistently maintained, this is the time for all opposition forces and well-meaning Nigerians to set aside their differences and work together in unity of purpose.
Nigeria is at a critical stage in its history, one that demands sacrifice, courage, and selflessness from all of us. The challenges we face, economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment, and declining public trust, require more than rhetoric. They require deliberate collaboration, disciplined leadership, and a shared commitment to national progress.
We must move beyond the politics of division, ethnicity, religion, and region, and embrace the politics of competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to a better Nigeria. The task before us is not about winning elections alone; it is about rebuilding institutions, restoring confidence in governance, and securing a better future for our children.
I therefore call on all members of the opposition, and indeed every patriotic Nigerian, to see this moment as a defining one. A moment that calls for unity over division, service over self, and nation over personal interest.
A new Nigeria is POssible, but it will require all of us, working together, making sacrifices, and staying committed to the vision of a just, equitable, and prosperous nation. -PO

Not me but my guy, he lodged in a hotel with one of his buddies, they invited two girls over and was waiting for the third one. My guy just spoke to his babe few mins ago and she said she's home and will be going to the market soon.
Few mins later, the last girl his buddy invited showed up and knocked, nd my guy opened the door to his own babe.....

One of the dullest guy in my secondary school is a top photographer in the UK today.
He married a Caucasian women about two years ago, did a badass wedding, drives a Tesla and lives in a big house.
I know because I follow him on IG.
He doesn't reply my message even though we were besties in best brain.
I have another classmate, he was only good at math and I had to coach him in chemistry and physics for him to pass waec.
He got involved in a startup or something a few years into his undergraduate days, he's a multimillionaire today with multiple properties in the country.
Lastly, when I was in 300 level, there was a boy who always came to greet us in the compound, when I was moving house, I gifted him my rugs and items just to help him as he just got admission.
About 2 years later, this small boy was posting his house in lekki with bad BMWs.
As in terrible looking BMW's.
My point is people's life can change dramatically within a few years, months even.
Take a look at lobi, he used to be a nobody on X.
Now everyone wants to be him.

Sorry, just seeing your quote.
I’ve attached the photo you quoted, it’s too blurry for my liking, I added extra for you😭
You see, when I was working in one of the biggest banks in Nigeria as an I.T professional, you were still drawing Davido on your breast, twerking on Instagram for likes, and selling your body like bole & fish all over Port Harcourt.
You even went through my posts to comeback with my football?😂
At every point in time, I’ve always had multiple options, unlike you who has one, OLOSHO😂
I’m a Chartered Banker, a certified and experienced Project Manager, a Certified BA-Professional, a Senior Applications Analyst, BSc., MSc., just to mention a few.
In every area of life, I’m not your mate, except in knacking for money😂😂😂
By the way, that picture was taken in Barcelona. I can go anywhere in the world, with my money. No Big Brother or drawing Davido on my breast, or twerking on IG.
You this local pig. You wey dey smell
For Live TV😂😂😂

There was a woman who sold rice and stew outside my office building on Broad Street. Every day for 4 years. Big pot. Blue plastic chairs. She knew everyone's order before they reached her table.
Her name was Mama Chidi.
Mine was the last plate before she packed up. 1:45pm. Every day without fail she'd see me coming and start dishing before I even sat down. Extra meat. Never charged me for it. I asked her once why.
She said I looked like someone who skipped breakfast.
She was right every time.
2019 she stopped showing up. No warning. Just gone. I asked around. Nobody knew anything. I switched to a restaurant down the road. More expensive. Smaller portions. Spent 4 years just quietly missing a plate of rice I never properly appreciated.
Last month my colleague forwarded a Twitter post into our work group.
A young guy. Maybe 25. Saying his mother used to sell food on Broad Street before she had a stroke in 2019 that took her left side. That she was recovering but kept asking about her regulars. That she cried one day saying she never got to say goodbye to any of them.
I DM'd him immediately.
He called me 10 minutes later.
She was sitting right next to him.
I heard her voice through the phone. Slower than I remembered. But she laughed when he told her who it was.
She said she always saved my plate last because quiet people need someone looking out for them.
I visited her in Mushin on Saturday. She can't stand long anymore. But she sat up straight in that chair and watched me eat everything she'd made.
Didn't let me leave without packing food for the road.
Some people just decide to take care of you. Before you even know you need it.

🚨 José Mourinho on Portugal’s 0–0 draw vs Mexico:
“Take Cristiano Ronaldo out, and Portugal look like just another average team. People keep calling for him to be dropped—well, today he didn’t play, and you saw the result. No threat, no fear, just a team getting pressed by Mexico. When Ronaldo is on the pitch, opponents think twice. Without him, they don’t think at all.”
