The turnout in these photos is quite impressive, and it is good to see women taking such an active role in the campaign in Enugu. I hope this energy also translates into real discussions about jobs, education and security for families in the state.

I'm based in the enugu those women are teachers in public schools in all L.G.A,they where threatened to either collect the materials and attend or lose their jobs,this is the truth,My aunty is a teacher

Sometimes, the mind becomes too loud. Thoughts collide, worries scream and emotions get tangled like a web you can’t break free from. And yet, a simple act (letting the pen bleed on paper) can silence the noise and give you back your peace. That’s the hidden power of journaling.

When I first thought about journaling, it felt unnecessary. “What do I even write? Who will read it? What if my words don’t make sense?” The first pages were awkward, slow and uncertain. But I kept writing anyway. Some days it was just one sentence. Other days it was a flood of emotions pouring out like rain I’d bottled up for too long.

Over time, something shifted. Journaling became more than words on a page, it became a mirror. A safe place where I could meet myself without judgment. I started to see clearly. Thoughts that once felt heavy now looked lighter when written down. Problems that seemed unsolvable began to make sense.

It wasn’t just about venting pain. Journaling healed me in small, unseen ways. It helped me track growth I didn’t even notice in the moment. It showed me my patterns, the mistakes I kept repeating, the fears that kept returning and the little wins that deserved more celebration than I gave them. With each page, my mindset slowly transformed.

That’s the beauty of journaling (it teaches you gratitude). Writing down even the tiniest progress changes your focus from what’s missing to what’s already here. It doesn’t demand perfection. Your journal doesn’t care if your handwriting is messy, if your thoughts are broken, or if your entry is just three words: “Today was hard.” It still listens.

Looking back now, I see journaling as planting seeds. Every word you write is a seed of clarity, healing, or growth. You may not see the results immediately, but with time, those seeds bloom into resilience, peace and purpose.

So, if life feels overwhelming, start with a page. Write not for the world, but for your soul. Journaling isn’t about fancy notebooks or perfect grammar, it’s about giving yourself the gift of honesty.

Because thoughts may seem useless, but on paper, it takes shape. On paper, thoughts becomes meaning.

Start journaling today! Write one line if that’s all you can. Tomorrow, write another. With time, you’ll see how daily writing transforms not just your mindset, but your life.

I attest to this.i started journaling this year and honestly the change within me is massive ☺️☺️

The same way their great grand mothers were obsessed with mirror

This reply is epic 😂

Uchesis:
Our government knows that we are too religious. That is why they will increase your suffering and ask you to pray to God to deliver you.

And churches are getting fuller every Sunday. Nigerians are looking for miracles because their government has failed them.

GBAM you said it all, religion is a weapon of fear and control

Edusouls:
he was right creating it for the wicked, carnal, unforgiving, cruel and unrepentant souls, that’s were they get the rewards of their ways…

Unforgiving you say, your god that couldn't forgive Satan

Sometime ago, I was watching a documentary...it was about Lions.

Three cubs walked away from their parents and wondered far away...at least a kilometre away. Suddenly, a herd of buffalo began approaching... If you watch wildlife, you'll know how much hate buffalos have for lions. These buffalos surrounded the cubs and were ready to gore them to death. The cubs ran under some shrubs in great terror as the buffalos kept circling them with obvious intentions off uprooting the shrubs for access...and then the unimaginable happened.
****
Back home, suddenly, the mothers of the cubs, at that very moment got up abruptly from their slumber...if you see race whe dem carry run go the area where dia cubs been dey eh.

That was how the Lionesses arrived and faught off these buffalos to rescue their cubs o.

****
It was telepathic communication. Ever since that day, I developed a keen interest in studying animals and this telepathy they exhibit. I noticed all animals still gat theirs intact... And I asked myself, what about humans??

INTERVIEWING MY MOM

I sat with my mom one day, and drove the conversion towards telepathy. She disclosed how she always knew when we cried Whenever she was away while we were toddlers. She told me most women still gat it...but it fades gradually as their children grow up (especially if the woman is the careless type). We discussed extensively on the subject.

****
Within that period, I started developing my telepathic abilities. Some weeks later, my mom was taking some fresh air outside as I chose to do something. A little experiment.


THE EXPERIMENT

I lay flat on my bed with my face straight to the ceiling. Closed my eyes and recreated a moment we had. I went back to a moment I looked in her eyes and 'paused time' at it... So in my head, I was looking straight in her eyes and she was looking in my eyes too. The next part came naturally, I simultaneously created a strong feeling and 'called' on her...

To my greatest shock, my mom rushed inside my room, pushed the door open without knocking, with panic in her eyes, she asked what was the matter, she asked if I was ok. That was one of the most exciting day of my life!!

At that moment, I knew without a doubt that such thing existed in humans.

****
Fast forward to this day... After working seriously on myself.

1. I can feel anyone's state of mind as long I and that person have made eye contact in the past.

2. I can invade someone's head (dreams). I literally can make you see me in your dream provided we've looked in our eyes previously. I've done it like a million times now. All those I've done it to admitted to it the next day.


There was this day I created a very hot scene with a neighbor girl at night. The next day, she saw me and was smiling... I was like why's she smiling... She laughed and told me plainly that I impregnated her in her dreams the previous night. I wasn't surprised, of course. I was just messing with her.

It always works. Easier to accomplish when the other party is asleep.

****
Till this day, I can pop into someone's head and make them call me ASAP.

Most humans currently existing have given away their inborn 'superhuman' abilities for our man-made tech in a sad and nearly irredeemable manner.

Hello @oyolohi are you done with the book I'm interested in this telepathy stuff and will be glad if you could throw more insight

Samuels90:
😂😂 e b like say u don pay for wetin you no budget before.

Yes o😂😂

Not asking clarifying and critical questions on things you know nothing about, especially when money is involved. e ga ebe gwaaa

Klington:
A lot of people are still not getting the message. The olodo culture is beyond going to school. We have alot of educated illiterates everywhere these days.

GBAM you said it all.

Names of platform you know that accept gift card s?

If prayer and religion dey work. Nigeria for be like America.

GBAM ✌🏾

Lies ,lies lies, the elite quest for control is alarming.cheeezzzz

Nnamdi kalu said this as far back as 2015 ,you all should listen to all his messages and see for yourselves,this country is.....

Animals the lower class of human, anywhere guys I need a job urgently please hellp

Parents parents,

Same thing I have been saying all this while

Neoteny:
Well its difficult to recommend anything without a baseline of expectations. However, I'd suggest some light reading on Wikipedia for the following:

1. History
-Ancient Greece (including notable philosophers, schools of thought and dialectics, Hellenic and Hellenistic influence on other civilizations such as Rome and Egypt)

-Ancient Rome (including political system, military campaigns, society, beliefs, and the Hellenic influences of Greeec

-Ancient civilizations such as Sumer, Mesopotamia, Babylon (especially the Akkadians; important for learning about the history of the Canaanite and Israelite Kingdoms)

-Ancient Egypt (from the old dynasties of (3rd to 6th, including the times of Pharaohs such as Djoser, Khufu, and Menkaure. They influenced the building of the pyramids and Sphinx). Also include the later dynasties like the Ptolemaic dynasties (which are Hellenic especially Ptolemy, Cleopatra, and the influences of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony etc to the downfall of this dynasty and the beginning of the Roman occupation of Egypt)

-The histories of Arabia and East/West Asia, the spice trades and wars, India.

-The histories of Europe from before the stones of Stonehenge, through the dark, middle and renaissance ages. Read about great lives such as royalties and emperors and the rise of Christendom, catholicism, the Anglican church (which came about because King Henry VIII wanted to behead his wife and marry a new one), the Plantagenets, Tudors, Yorks, Lancasters (the War of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster and York was the inspiration for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones: Lancaster= Lannister, York= Stark).

-The voyages of Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, Francis Drake, and the founding of America (the early 13 colonies, the signing of the declaration of independence, independence war, the civil war, the civil rights movement, Bretton Woods and the establishment of US might)

Great Lives: Socrates, Plutarch, Descartes, Freud, Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle, Aurelius , Marx, Avicenna, Kant. The Caesars (Julius, Augustus/Octavian, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Domitian). Artists like Titian, Tintoretto, Michelangelo, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Giorgione, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Picasso, etc. Classical composers like Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Vivaldi, etc. Scientists such as The Curies, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Feynman, Newton, Galilei, Copernicus, Tesla, Darwin, Pasteur, Hawking, Oppenheimer, Teller, etc. Innovators like Ford, Daimler, Benz, Wright Brothers, Von Braun, Edison, Franklin etc. Megalomaniacs and tyrants/Conquerors like Genghis and Kublai Khan, Alexander the Great, Kings Darius and his son Xerxes (both Iranians 😆 ) of the Battle of Thermopylae fame, Spartan King Leonidas, etc.

2. Literature

Great writers and works like Homer's Ilyad and Odyssey, Dante's Divine Comedy, everything by Shakespeare and Dante, biography and works of: Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, the Brontë sisters, Jane Austen, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Cervantes, Hemingway, Thomas Hardy, Helen Keller, Charles Dickens, etc

3. Art

Most of the people i mentioned in great lives especially the Renaissance masters like da Vinci and co.

4. Science

Read about electricity; electronics (transistor, diode, capacitor, AC/DC, voltages, currents, power, resistance, the electromagnetic field, electrons, charges, magnetism, photons, valence shells, atomic nuclei, the Standard Model, etc.

Brush on quantum physics and quantum field theory, quantum mechanics, waves, particles, thermodynamics, double slit experiment, electromagnetic spectrum, frequency, amplitude, wavelength, fermions, leptons, bosons, quarks, weak and strong forces, gravity, mass and matter, black holes, quantum gravity (still a hypothesis tho), lasers, entropy radiation, etc.

Read about chemistry and chemical reactions, compounds, molecules, acids and bases, pH, states of matter (gas, liquid, solid, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate).

Read about weightlessness (relates to gravity), spacetime (3D space, 1D time = 4D spacetime or the fabric of reality. The quantum fields mentioned earlier exist on this fabric), gravitational collapse, black holes, neutron stars (generally the lifecycle of a star), orbits, velocity, Newton's 3 laws of motion, Einstein's special and general relativities, time dilation, etc.

Phew 😅

I know it's much but seriously start with history of civilizations first.

Use Wikipedia and read in small bites. Then take your questions to any LLM and brush up on your understanding. Then progress to the next.

Civilizations are the bedrocks of literature, art, philosophy, and science. When you tackle these, it becomes easier to relate with happenings in the world today.

If you want to discuss any specific topic here, I'm always available.

Cheers.

Thank you

A strong point of view, which I share. Nigeria is a country of docility and lethargy where everyone waits for miraculous solutions to practical problems. We're either waiting for government, white people, or some cosmic deity to solve our problems.

Take robotics and AI. How many government and private schools are actively teaching in those fields? Why aren't we trying to be at the frontier of research and knowledge, instead of still teaching from books written in the 19th century? Knowledge, and resources for learning, have never been as democratized as now, with essentially every information for any topic freely available digitally.

I taught myself Arduino and sketches, I can 3D design and build components for a simple quadcopter with free Arduino sketches and cheap brushless motors. I studied convolutional neural networks (and now doing transformers) in the early days of GAN, so I'm relatively conversant with LLMs and generative AI. I know some semiconductor physics and basic design principles because i self-learned electronics. I understand rocket science and orbital mechanics, I know literature, art, history. All largely self-taught because of natural curiosity and access to resources. I wasn't trying to please my parents or peers, I just wanted to learn how the universe works.

If we're to build a progressive society of people who can solve realworld problems, then we'll need to get rid of our current curriculums and rebuild the school system from scratch, with transparent and self-accounting learning methods from first principles.

The barbarian method of brute-forcing knowledge into children needs to stop. Competitive schooling, instead of cooperative learning, also needs to stop. It helps no one when we assign artificial scores to intellect and thus create a competitive environment where the ultimate goal is passing exams and coming top in the leaderboard of banality, which incentivizes cheating at tests and exams. Rather, learning should be reinforced cooperatively in sync with developmental capabilities, and measure progress qualitatively instead of quantitatively. Those who come lower in rankings won't bear the psychological haunting of disappointed parents, angry tutors, and leery peers. They'd instead leverage the empathy and support of this support system to develop and thrive as productive members of society instead of as academic outcasts.

The emphasis on worthless certificates, except for certain professional fields that need attestation, ought to be de-emphasized. People hide behind lofty but meaningless titles and credentials without adding anything to the body of knowledge, and worm their way into the higher echelons of government and society, and then form part of the same parasitic and toxic policymaking system that keeps churning out mediocrity. Let's emphasize tangible capabilities instead of worthless paper achievements.

Please, Nigeria. We can do better with our school systems by looking at what successful societies teach their kids, how they allow them to be curious and discover for themselves, and what passes as motivated learning and not brutalist drilling.

Gbam,can you recommend some self taught books please
