"How many trillions does MTN make in a year? In China, you don’t even need to buy separate data. Just buying airtime automatically gives you data that lasts for one full month.
MTN, stop sc@mm!ng Nigerians! This is too much. One month should be one month, and two months should be two months — not one week!👀

Sunburn rates before 1900: minimal, despite people working outdoors 12 hours a day in fields, on boats, on roofs.
Sunburn rates after 1900: epidemic, despite air conditioning and office cubicles and SPF 50.
What changed? The fat in the food.
Your skin is built from the fats you eat. Saturated fat is stable under UV light. Polyunsaturated fat oxidises rapidly the moment the sun hits it.
Eat seed oils → PUFA gets built into skin cell membranes → UV light strikes unstable fat → oxidation → sunburn.
Eat saturated fat → stable membranes → UV tolerance climbs → natural sun protection from the inside out.
Your great-grandfather worked in fields all day on butter, lard, and dripping. He didn't burn. He didn't reapply anything. He didn't own a hat with a UPF rating.
You eat sunflower oil for 50 weeks of the year, then go to Spain for one and come back looking like a boiled lobster.
The sun hasn't changed. The sun is the same sun.
What changed is your cell membranes. They're now made from industrial fat that combusts under UV exposure like cooking oil left in a hot pan.
Carnivores consistently report dramatically improved sun tolerance. Not because meat contains SPF. Because saturated fat builds UV-resistant skin.
You've been blaming the sun for damage caused by what you ate 18 months ago.
This is the picture of the police criminal gang leader who intercepted me at Ajao junction on Wednesday morning being 22nd of April, 2026 while going to work at exactly 05:55am. I saw a colleague by name Comrade chinedu . As i cleared to pick him up, they double crossed me with korope bus without reg number. They forced my colleague out of my vehicle and forcefully collected my key from me and pushed me to the back seat and three of them jumped inside my vehicle all dressed in police uniform, well armed and one on mask. They drove off and turned under NAHCO bridge and headed towards Mile 2. On getting to Cele express, they cleared before the bridge and forced me to transfer the sum of 200k into a named first Bank acct and this transfer was made at gunpoint at exactly 6 29am.Immediately they confirmed the alert, they all jumped down from my vehicle and fled into their korope and zoomed off towards Mile 2. Attached below is the receipt of transaction and the picture of their leader. I reported the incident at the police station, showing them the picture of the gang's team lead but the Nigerian police force has not been forthcoming in their investigation.

A page from an English textbook allegedly being read in a nursery school in Ojo, Lagos state, contains expressions that are not only age-inappropriate but also quite upsetting for any parent who still has a sense of decorum in our society. Worse still, we have been told that the text was not approved by the state’s ministry of basic and secondary education, which says it has started investigating the episode. The publisher or author of the book has gone ahead to report the whistle-blower to police, and she has had to engage a lawyer to honour the invitation. How low can we really go in this country? It will be most gratifying if all the culprits are made to face the full weight of the law. Filthy.
SIMON KOLAWOLE: "Contrary to what was widely circulated on social media as the “deep dive” into the Supreme Court ruling, there was no pronouncement restoring the Mark-led national officers. There was also no decision on jurisdiction. And there was no declaration directing the INEC to recognise Mark or anybody. What the apex court decided, in simple English, was that the high court should first determine whether or not it has jurisdiction. It also said the Court of Appeal was wrong to grant the preservatory order of “status quo ante bellum” — that is the job of the court of first instance on this matter. That said, I am quite relieved that the INEC has retraced its steps and re-recognised Mark."

@EngineerAdam123 Jealousy is terrible. And I thought it's only against Christians. I know Dangote, Elumelu and all the young EDs & MDs did many sharp and illegal things during the M&A of 2003 ordered by CBN, Dangote has created more jobs to compensate for his sins.
Yesterday, Channels TV interviewed Dangote and asked why his cement and other locally produced goods are expensive. Here’s what he said:
“All the companies you know under me spend at least ₦95 billion every single month on diesel alone. The cement plant in Obajana alone consumes about 50 million litres of diesel every month. At the end of the year, our total diesel cost is over ₦1 trillion annually. That’s not a small amount that people can ignore. So the cost of our products, especially cement, has to be high because from production to distribution, we rely heavily on diesel.”
That was Dangote’s explanation.
Now think about it. A man spending over ₦1 trillion yearly just on diesel, not even counting maintenance, staff salaries, allowances, taxes, and other expenses. Do you even understand what ₦1 trillion means? 😒
For comparison, Jigawa State with a population of over 8.2 million has never had a ₦1 trillion budget till today.
With all this wealth, Dangote still has just his three daughters. May God protect us from poverty in this world and the hereafter. 👌
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
@BSAT_Properties Lawyer na wa.
Normal order of writing, even in title deeds is First Middle Last or
First Middle LAST or
Last, First Middle.
When addressing,
it's Mr/Miss Surname only or
Mr/Miss First-name & Surname.
Please note that every name begins with a CAPITAL letter. John not john.
THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO WRITE YOUR NAME IN A DOCUMENT.
Many people are still writing names in documents in a way that later causes confusion, delays, or even legal stress.
Let’s make it simple and correct.
In any official document (agreement, affidavit, court papers, bank forms, property documents), your name should be written clearly like this:
SURNAME FIRST, then OTHER NAMES
Example:
OKAFOR CHINEDU JOHN
Not:
Mr. Chinedu Okafor
John Okafor (without full names)
Chinedu “The Boss” Okafor
Mrs Okafor only
Because titles like Mr, Mrs, Chief, Alhaji, etc. are not part of your legal name. They are just social titles.
Also:
Your names must be consistent in all documents
Avoid shortening your names randomly
Use the same spelling everywhere (no “Chinedu” today and “Chydee” tomorrow)
Why this matters:
A small name mistake can affect land transactions, court processes, bank verification, or inheritance matters.
Your name is your legal identity. Treat it carefully.
If you’ve ever signed a document and later saw your name “changed by force,” you already understand this message.
Ignorance of the law is not a defence.

Bill Gates: “Cows make 6% of global emissions.”
“You can either fix the cows, or make beef without the cow.”
That’s the conversation now: not about farming, not about land use — but redesigning the cow itself.
There's a whole industry built around African poverty. NGOs, consultants, conferences, awareness campaigns, celebrity endorsements.
Billions of dollars flow through this system every year, employing thousands of well-paid Westerners.
None of those people have an incentive for the problem to actually be solved, because if African poverty disappeared tomorrow, they'd all need new jobs.
I'm not saying they're evil.
I'm saying the incentive structure is broken, and incentives shape behavior more than intentions do.
The NYSC was established in 1973. The uniforms and other kits, including caps, were imported then from China and were of very good quality. The uniforms from China were last worn by the 1986 or 1987 set. Tinubu, we were told, graduated from Chicago State University in 1979, which was six years after the establishment of the NYSC scheme. What this means is that if Tinubu participated in the scheme, he would have worn the uniforms, including the caps imported from China.
I don't think anybody should be surprised. With Tinubu, anything is possible. The only man in the history of the world who attended a school two years before the school was established. If that can happen, he can also wear the NYSC uniforms produced in Nigeria long before they were introduced.
A fi suru.
@LekanAdeosun2@Big_marvis Mr DA. FT inheritance belongs to those who CARE about you. Not a right. Let that sink in.
If he gets a one who cares about him, LUCKY MAN. If not, still lucky man to enjoy his PEACE ALONE. NO MORE HATE AND NEGLECT.
@Big_marvis Maybe we don't belong to the same planet because to me; it's God, family and then country. Someone will still inherit that little hellhole he moved into.
This retired civil servant in Abuja sold his family house without telling his wife or children.
Months before anyone suspected anything, the original house documents had already been quietly moved out of the house for safekeeping.
So when strangers eventually showed up for inspection, it had already gone too far to reverse.
That house wasn’t inherited. It came from years of deductions, years of sacrifice, living inside one of those government quarters that were later sold to occupants.
But retirement changed the balance of power inside the house.
His wife controlled most decisions, and gradually the children adopted her tone until the man who paid for the roof over their heads became almost invisible inside it.
He said there was even a period he fell seriously sick and nobody asked if he had eaten before leaving the house each morning.
Around that same period, his entire gratuity was taken to fund a family business. It was supposed to help everyone. It collapsed before one year.
That was when the quiet planning began. Not loudly, not emotionally but silently. He decided he would rather start life again alone than remain in a house where he felt unwanted.
Months later, the house was sold privately for 90 million.
A smaller house in a quiet suburb was purchased for 18 million, and the rest was secured quietly.
At home, nothing looked suspicious. No arguments, no sudden tension.
Weeks before leaving, clothes were gradually packed under the excuse of sending them to the dry cleaner.
Then one day, he travelled for what was described as a consultancy job. He never returned to that house again.
The truth surfaced the day the new owner sent people to inspect it. Panic started immediately, his children that haven't checked on him since he travelled started
calling nonstop, asking what was going on. That was when he confirmed it himself.
Yes, the house had been sold. By then, nothing could be undone. Attempts were made to trace his new location, but he had already moved carefully and deliberately.
He said something that stayed with me since I heard the story:
“I didn’t abandon my family… I simply inherited myself before they buried me alive."
@Big_marvis No thanks to SOME greedy mothers who's main and only object in life is to indoctrinate their offspring to care ONLY about her to the exclusion of everyone else.
When Prince Odiri, the son of Akazua, the Obi of Onitsha, died and was to be buried in September 1864, some slaves were required to be buried with him, among them was an eight-year-old girl who carried a pair of shoes and food to serve as refreshment for the late prince on the long journey to the underworld.
When Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and his fellow missionaries (pictured) offered money to free the slaves, Akazua refused vehemently, asserting that the tradition of the land must be obeyed. #HistoryVille
@SamaHoole@sweetcaralee The body, like any living organism, responds to the environment. If given enough time will adapt. Louis Pasteur did great work that discovered a direct link between "germs" and causes of disease. Pasteurised milk allowed raw milk to be precooked and allow more to consume it.
Activist: "Drinking milk is for baby cows, not humans."
Farmer: "Humans have been drinking it for 10,000 years."
Activist: "We're the only species that drinks another species' milk."
Farmer: "We're also the only species that cooks food, wears clothes, and writes books. Should we pack those in too?"
Activist: "It's unnatural."
Farmer: "So are antibiotics. Refusing those next time you get pneumonia?"
Activist: "That's different."
Farmer: "How? Both are things humans do that other animals don't."
Activist: "Milk is meant for calves."
Farmer: "Wheat is meant to reproduce the wheat plant. And yet here you are eating bread."
Activist: "Most humans are lactose intolerant."
Farmer: "Most humans of European descent aren't. We evolved the trait. That's how evolution works."
Activist: "It's still weird."
Farmer: "Weirder than flying across continents in a metal tube? Weirder than arguing with a stranger on a phone you didn't build, charged by electricity you can't generate, about food produced by a farmer you've never met?"
@MikeArnoldTruth By extension, he orders who becomes governor or senator in South East. It's alleged that before one becomes governor in South East, he must be led into oath of allegiance to him. During this oath, the fellow secretly converts to Islam. That's why governors in South East pay
The Real Power of the Sultan
Most outsiders don’t understand what the Sultan of Sokoto actually holds.
He is the Sarkin Musulmi — Commander of the Faithful. The 20th-generation heir to dan Fodio’s throne, unbroken for 222 years. Spiritual leader of more than 100 million Sunni Muslims — half of Nigeria.
In pure numbers, that puts him among the highest-ranking Sunni authorities on earth.
Islam means submission. When the Sarkin Musulmi rules on a matter of religion, every Muslim under his authority is obligated to obey. Not invited. Obligated.
He chairs Jama’atu Nasril Islam — the umbrella body of Nigerian Sunni Islam.
He chairs the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs.
He is grand patron of Miyetti Allah — the Fulani pastoralist body whose factions are credibly accused of running the militia killings across the Middle Belt.
Every Northern emir — Kano, Zaria, Adamawa, Borno, dozens more — sits below his throne. Every Sharia court in twelve Northern states operates inside his doctrinal framework. Every Friday sermon in tens of thousands of Northern mosques follows his lead.
Every Northern governor, every Northern senator, every Northern president has paid him homage. None has publicly opposed him on a matter of substance. Ever.
He could end the killing in 90 days.
A binding fatwa from his office naming Boko Haram, ISWAP, and the Fulani militias as khawarij — rebels outside Islam — would split them from their kinship cover overnight. Every imam in Northern Nigeria would have to choose between obeying the throne or siding with men the throne has declared apostate.
He could publicly call out the nine billion dollars a year being looted from his own lands. He could withdraw his blessing from the political class running the cover-up. He could order cooperation with Nigerian security forces on every kidnapping ring operating in his domain.
He has every tool. He has every platform. He has every authority.
He has used none of it to end the terror or vast mineral looting in his lands.
That is not a man without power.
That is a man without desire.
#EarthShaker
@MikeArnoldTruth That also puts his effective power to test. If it fails to force submission, full submission, challenge emerges. Control crumbles. Like a pack of lies that it is built on.
JONATHAN NDA-ISAIAH: "Let me be precise about the pattern here, because treating Mene Ogidi’s death as an isolated incident is dishonest. There is a recurring category of security force killing where the victim is not a combatant, not an armed suspect in flight, not posing any imminent threat at the moment lethal force was applied. In the cases of Kehinde Alade, Ibrahim Usman, and the unnamed pregnant woman in Abraka, the two passers-by cut down in Alagbado in each of those incidents, the victims were either bystanders or already under some form of state control when they were killed. Mene Ogidi fits squarely into the worst sub-category of this pattern: physically restrained, hands literally tied behind his back, pleading cooperatively, and still shot. That is not a split-second field decision gone wrong. That is the deliberate execution of a man in custody."
