What about babies, children that didn't reach age of understanding, special needs individuals that have incapacitated mental function that don't get the chance to do all these, they get casted into the lake of fire too?

God loves everyone of us and wants our good. A baby has nothing to account because he/she is not yet responsible for his/her actions.

Even those incapacitated to the point they can't understand the teachings or even those who are capable but don't have the knowledge of Christ availed to them.
Is not a case of the Nigerian law that says ignorance is not an excuse. God is lovely fair to all of us.

May we have the right knowledge of Him

mysticwarrior:
So what about the billions of people who lived and died before Jesus was born, or those who never had the opportunity to hear of Him? Are we to believe that none of them could have their names written in the Book of Life and would automatically be condemned to hell?

Everyone is judged by his/her actions. We all know what is morally right, what is acceptable and the right values. And moreover God spirit is within everyone of us to help us in our decisions and if we keep following it's voice we are good to go. This is obtainable also before Jesus Christ emergence. During Christ emergence, as it is now, we are called to believe in Him and follow His teachings which are all surrounded by true love.

So those that died earlier before Christ may be judged by their actions and many will be saved

In any true democracy, the power of the people is not merely symbolic, it is expressed and enforced through the ballot. The potency of our votes lies not just in casting them, but in ensuring they are accurately counted and respected. When votes count, citizens are no longer passive observers; they become active architects of governance.

A system where votes are genuinely counted compels leaders to recognize that their authority flows directly from the people. Such governments understand that their continued stay in power depends on performance, accountability, and responsiveness. As a result, policies are more likely to reflect the needs and aspirations of the populace, improving infrastructure, strengthening institutions, enhancing education, and promoting economic opportunities. Leaders in such systems tend to listen more, act responsibly, and prioritize public welfare because they know they can be voted out if they fail.

On the other hand, when electoral processes are undermined through rigging or manipulation, the foundation of accountability collapses. Governments that emerge from flawed elections often lack legitimacy and are less concerned with the well-being of the citizens. Instead of focusing on governance, their priority shifts to maintaining control, tightening their grip on power, weakening opposition, and perfecting the mechanisms that brought them to office unlawfully. In such environments, the voice of the people is muted, and public trust in institutions erodes.

The consequences are far-reaching. Citizens become disillusioned, voter apathy increases, and governance deteriorates. Without the pressure of genuine electoral accountability, there is little incentive for leaders to deliver meaningful change. Corruption thrives, public resources are mismanaged, and the gap between the government and the governed widens.

Therefore, the true strength of a democracy lies in the integrity of its electoral process. Every counted vote is a reminder that power belongs to the people. It is a call for transparency, fairness, and civic responsibility. When citizens insist on credible elections and actively participate in them, they reinforce a system where leaders serve, not rule.

In the end, the potency of our votes being counted is not just about elections, it is about shaping a government that reflects the will of the people and works tirelessly to improve their lives.

Ranked: The World’s Most Powerful Passports in 2026

Key Takeaways
Singapore tops the 2026 ranking with visa-free access to 192 destinations.
The gap is massive: the strongest passports offer access to 5x more countries than the weakest.
European and Asian countries dominate the top, while conflict-affected nations rank lowest.
Your passport shapes how much of the world you can access. In 2026, the gap between the strongest and weakest passports spans nearly 170 destinations.

This graphic ranks global passport strength using data from the Henley Passport Index, based on how many destinations citizens can enter without a visa.

Singapore leads with access to 192 destinations. That’s nearly five times the access available to citizens of the lowest-ranked countries. Meanwhile, the weakest passports allow entry to fewer than 50 destinations. The disparity highlights how geography, diplomacy, and stability influence global mobility.

If your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.

Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.

Peter Obi - a man that defiles Nigeria's version of leadership.

Flangelo12:
He worked for Abacha at the ports.

From there, his wealth exploded.

But even if he did, is he the only one amongst today's crop of politicians that worked with Abacha? Perhaps, he is just amongst the few ones who have put their quest for illegal acquisition in check ✔️

I am wondering who amongst others who criticise PO can reject any of those for good. Good 😊

But if they check and he is, then he definitely is not a Nigerian.

His father has questions to answer.

1. Peter Obi rejected #700m monthly pension as Ex Governor.

2. Peter Obi rejected lands given to Ex Governors as part of their entitlements.

3. Peter Obi rejected #500m House & Furniture Allowance as Chairman of Security & Exchange Commission, SEC, Abuja 2015.

4. Peter Obi rejected $1m dollars as prize money for being the First & Best Governor to achieve the 2020 Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.

5. Peter Obi rejected the offer of an Oil Well, one of the reasons Nigerian Politicians k!ll to attain Abuja Status.

6. Peter Obi rejected the allocation of millions of naira for the set up of office of the First Lady. Insisting that his wife was not an elected official

7. Peter Obi rejected the proposal to share the State annual budget on percentage with the State House of Assembly leading to his first unlawful impeachment.

8. Peter Obi handed over about #75bn in cash & assets after 8yrs as Governor, rejecting to convert it to personal use like other Governors did.

This man has conquered man's most natural, intense & vicious appetite...Greed.

I want someone to prove just one of these statements to be false.

Peter Obi is the Man
Culled from Chimamanda X"spage

Every meaningful and patriotic Nigerian should frown and reject what INEC is doing right now especially having seen the speed in which the current administration amended the 'The Electoral Act' to stop anyone who intends to stop the president using falsification of age or academic results.

It is indeed unfortunate that 'PERJURY' is now only treated as a crime aside politics. The implication is that anyone can claim what ever he wants as his academic qualifications in politics and cannot be disqualified or even sued based on that.

Nigerians should all wear the neutral mindset that build strong institutions and countries than pander to emotions of tribe and religion or for self-aggrandisement.

In every nation, there are ideas that rise not from air-conditioned offices or polished podiums, but from dusty roads, broken bridges, silent clinics, overcrowded classrooms, and homes lit by lanterns instead of electricity.

The Village Boy Movement is one such idea. It is not a slogan crafted for applause; it is a cry born from reality. It speaks for the majority of ordinary Nigerians whose daily lives expose the painful truth: development has bypassed too many villages, communities, and towns, while unemployment has chained the hopes of millions of youths.

The Village Boy Movement begins with honesty. It acknowledges what many prefer to deny, that a large part of Nigeria still lives in neglect. Roads that lead nowhere, schools without teachers, hospitals without medicine, farms without support, and young people without jobs or direction. This movement does not ask the people to pretend that things are well. It does not sugarcoat suffering. Instead, it names it, confronts it, and insists that it must end.

At its core, the Village Boy Movement is about dignity. It believes that a child born in a village deserves the same opportunity as one born in a city. It insists that rural communities are not charity cases but contributors to national survival, feeding the cities, supplying labor, culture, and resilience.

It demands investment in agriculture, skills, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and local industries so that young people can thrive where they are born, not flee in desperation.

In sharp contrast stands the infamous City Boy Movement. This is not a movement of solutions but of spectacle. It is designed for the high-class and politically connected, wrapped in elite language that rarely translates to food on the table of the ordinary citizen. The City Boy Movement thrives on bait, grand promises of a better tomorrow, delivered with deceitful confidence, while urging the people to look away from their present suffering.

“Endure today,” they say.
“Sacrifice a little more,” they insist.
“Vote now, progress later.”
But later never comes.

The City Boy Movement is comfortable with inequality. It sees poverty as a political tool, not a problem to be solved. It appears during election seasons, smiles for cameras, shakes hands, and disappears once power is secured.

Its loyalty is not to the struggling youth, the unemployed graduate, the farmer without support, or the trader crushed by hardship, but to preserving privilege at the top.

Where the City Boy Movement asks people to ignore their empty pockets in exchange for promises, the Village Boy Movement asks leaders to look directly at those empty pockets and fix the system that caused them. Where the former depends on propaganda, the latter depends on truth. Where the former protects the few, the latter stands with the many.

The Village Boy Movement understands that real development does not begin in the city centers alone. It begins in the villages, the communities, the forgotten towns. It begins when youths are productively engaged, when local economies are strengthened, when governance is felt at the grassroots, not just announced on television.

This movement is not against progress; it is against deception. It is not anti-city; it is pro-people. It does not reject the future; it refuses to mortgage the present suffering of Nigerians for empty promises.
Nigeria cannot move forward by asking its majority to keep enduring while a minority prospers. A nation rises only when its villages rise, when its youths work with hope, and when leadership chooses responsibility over rhetoric.

The Village Boy Movement is a reminder, and a warning: the ordinary people are no longer willing to be used, ignored, or silenced.

They want development they can see, jobs they can do, and leadership that remembers them long after the campaigns end.

Nobody should be surprised, when your secret is known by someone else's, he will control you like mumu. If you get stubborn, he will expose it to the world and still hunt you with it.

This is the why other forward-looking countries of the world put structures to screen out persons with uncertain histories from their leadership.

There is something profoundly tragic about watching a nation with so much promise drift steadily into institutional helplessness. Nigeria was not meant to arrive here. With its population, resources, intellect, and history of struggle against authoritarianism, one would expect a country anchored on strong institutions and balanced governance. Yet today, one is compelled to ask with deep pity rather than anger: what exactly has become of the Nigerian state?

A democracy is not defined merely by elections or the existence of offices. It lives and breathes through the separation of powers, through institutions strong enough to restrain excess, correct errors, and protect citizens. But can Nigeria honestly still claim this? Or has power been so thoroughly concentrated on the executive that other arms of government now exist only in name?

When the executive speaks, does the legislature still deliberate independently, or does it merely echo? When laws are debated, are they scrutinized in the interest of the people, or hurriedly passed to satisfy executive comfort? One must ask: when last did Nigerians witness a legislature that truly stood its ground against the executive without fear or inducement?

The situation becomes even more troubling when the judiciary is considered. Courts are meant to be the last hope of the common man, the neutral arbiter between power and justice. But what happens when judgments begin to feel predictable, when justice appears selective, and when legal outcomes seem aligned more with political convenience than constitutional principle? Can a society survive when its judges are perceived, rightly or wrongly, as vulnerable to executive pressure?

Across the tiers of government, the pattern repeats itself. At the local government level, which should be closest to the people, autonomy has been hollowed out. Local councils wait endlessly for funds controlled elsewhere, their officials reduced to spectators in matters that directly affect their communities. At the state level, houses of assembly often function as extensions of governors’ offices. At the federal level, oversight is weak, accountability diluted, and institutional courage scarce. One is forced to ask: where, exactly, does power truly reside in Nigeria today?

Institutions are meant to outlive individuals. They are designed to be resilient, principled, and difficult to capture. Yet Nigeria’s institutions increasingly appear personalized, bending, shifting, and weakening depending on who occupies the executive seat. Regulatory bodies, security agencies, electoral institution, and anti-corruption agencies often seem responsive not to law, but to signals from above. What does it say about a country when institutions tremble before individuals?

This is not merely a political failure; it is a moral and structural one. It signals a slow erosion of the social contract. Citizens begin to lose faith, not just in leaders, but in the idea that fairness, due process, and accountability are achievable. When institutions fail, people retreat into apathy, cynicism, or desperation. And when that happens, democracy itself becomes fragile.

Nigeria’s tragedy is not the absence of laws, constitutions, or structures. It is the steady weakening of the very institutions meant to guard them. It is the normalization of executive dominance and the quiet surrender of other arms of government. It is the painful realization that checks and balances have become ceremonial, while power operates largely unchecked.

And so one must ask, with sorrow rather than sarcasm: how can a nation progress when its institutions no longer stand? How can democracy survive when power is no longer balanced? How can hope flourish where accountability is optional?
Until Nigeria confronts this uncomfortable reality, until institutions are rebuilt, empowered, and defended against capture, the country will continue to drift, not for lack of potential, but for lack of institutional courage. And that, perhaps, is the most pitiful failure of all.

H.E. Peter Gregory Obi has inscribed his name in Nigeria’s political history in a manner that is both profound and unprecedented. Without the advantage of state machinery, entrenched structures, or decades-long party dominance, he demonstrated that ideas, integrity, and purposeful messaging can still move a nation.

In less than nine months after joining the Labour Party, he ignited a political awakening that reshaped Nigeria’s democratic landscape. His campaign was not driven by coercion or inducement, but by conviction, clear, consistent messages centered on competence, accountability, and national rebirth. The result was historic:
1 Governor, 8 Senators, 34 Members of the House of Representatives, and 68 Members of State Houses of Assembly, a feat no individual in Nigerian political history has achieved through influence rooted primarily in credibility and civic trust.

No one campaigned harder. He traversed the country relentlessly, engaging citizens directly, appealing to conscience rather than patronage, and inspiring especially the youth to believe again in the power of their voices and votes. What emerged was not just an election campaign, but a movement, one that redefined participation, challenged political apathy, and raised the standards of public discourse.

Beyond the polls, his insistence on due process and lawful redress made him a jewel others frown at but his persistence continues to strengthen Nigeria’s judiciary and deepen democratic norms. By choosing institutions over disorder, and principle over convenience, he reaffirmed that democracy is sustained not merely by winning power, but by defending its foundations.

Peter Gregory Obi has set a new trajectory in Nigerian politics, one that proves that character can still compete, that vision can still mobilize, and that the future can still be negotiated with truth. Such a man deserves not only recognition but celebration, for reminding a nation of what is possible when leadership is anchored on purpose and integrity.

When will they wipe off the NIRSAL/COVID LOANS given to Nigerians.

It would have made sense if affected most Nigerians than few individuals that were involved in the oil company.

Recent demolitions of properties in Lagos, many of them belonging to the Igbo and other Nigerians, have exposed a troubling dimension of governance and inter-ethnic relations in Nigeria. These acts, carried out by the Lagos State Government, amount to economic terrorism against citizens who have invested heavily in the state’s development.

For decades, Igbos have played a vital role in transforming Lagos into Nigeria’s commercial nerve center. They built homes, industries, and markets; they created jobs and generated taxes that sustain public infrastructure. They bought lands with their hard-earned money, secured necessary approvals, and constructed buildings under the supervision of government agencies.

How then can the same government return years later to demolish those structures, citing “irregularities” or “encroachment”? Such actions are not only unjust but also destructive to public trust and economic confidence. They amount to a betrayal of legitimate investors and a blatant disregard for the rule of law.

These demolitions send a dangerous message, that citizens, particularly the Igbos, are not safe to invest outside their ethnic homeland. They also discourage both local and international investors who now view Lagos, and by extension Nigeria, as a politically unstable and economically petty environment.

If truly Nigeria is one nation, then no government has the moral or legal right to destroy the wealth of citizens who invested in good faith. The act is not just a physical destruction of property, it is a symbolic assault on unity, trust, and progress.

By targeting a group whose only offense is enterprise and success, the Lagos State Government, possibly aided by elements of the central authority, shows a lack of gratitude and foresight. It proves that political pettiness and ethnic bias still outweigh justice and development in Nigeria’s governance system.

Perhaps, the seller didn't know he bought a fake product. It will be better to bring his attention to that calmly.

For the pain Nigerian citizens have suffered, born from the greed of the so-called political leaders, history owes them justice. From local government chairmen to state governors and up to the presidency, each has dealt a heavy blow to Nigerians, save for the very few whose hearts remain upright. Together, they have built a coven, a system designed to destroy the aspirations and destinies of the people. Through this machinery, they manufacture poverty, entrench misery, and cling to power, installing their handpicked successors to continue the cycle of oppression.

Nigerians appear helpless, almost spellbound, for no other nation may have endured what we have tolerated for so long. Perhaps, rather than praying for these leaders, we should be casting and banning them, for their actions are not meant to build, heal, or preserve, but to steal, kill, and destroy.

Yes, some of us may want to see it the other way because of trauma bonding or defending them perhaps in the name of party loyalty, closeness to those in power, or trying to show how passionate they are about some of the leaders who they think are good. Note, and if your conscience serves you right, I have already acknowledged that a few of the leaders are exceptions.

If you doubt this about most of the political leaders, ask yourself:
What do these leaders truly do in the name of governance, and what is their level of concern for the citizens? Why is it difficult for our leaders to simply fumigate the drainage and the bushes, knowing that most of the citizens mainly suffer from malaria in this part of the world?

Why have they refused to build standard hospitals across the country, yet lavish our public funds to fly abroad for treatment? And after witnessing excellent services abroad, why do they return home without any intention to replicate it here?

Ask yourself again: why do their children study outside Nigeria? Is it not deliberate to keep our educational system broken and ineffective, while they reap the benefits of other nations’ progress?

Why do governors now behave like emperors, ruling their states unchecked? Could it be because they have captured their Houses of Assembly, the very institutions meant to keep them accountable?

Why do they bend the law to suit their greed, and at times, frustrate court judgments? Perhaps the judges themselves are on their private payrolls.

Why does corruption continue to grow wings, smarter, faster, and stronger? Perhaps the institutions meant to fight it have been weakened, stripped of the integrity and independence needed to shine light on the darkness.

Why do most former governors and serving governors run to the ruling party? Perhaps they seek the immunity the party offers, the so-called baptism of forgiveness, once promised by a former party chairman who boldly declared that joining the party cleanses all sins.

So, can there be hope for a nation ruled by such men, men who trade conscience for power, and perpetuate themselves and their stooges in office? The answer is clear, for we all know it deep within.

It is worthy to note the words of Frederick Douglass, “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” Douglass asserts that tyrants do not have unlimited authority; their power is set by the people’s tolerance for injustice.

Therefore, I urge us to assert ourselves. And rise for what is right. Let us save our country from the grip of greedy leaders. Their actions do no one any good, not even their own relations. Silence now is complicity.
Tolerance is not patience; it’s slow death.
To redeem Nigeria, we must all speak up, confront our leaders by holding them accountable, ask questions, make demands, and ensure that the laws of the land are respected by all.

Nigeria stands at a defining moment, at a point where the values and vision of Peter Obi-like politicians are starkly contrasted with the entrenched ways of the political majority that have dominated our landscape for decades.
Peter Obi-like politicians are not just another set of public office seekers. They are bold, confident, and armed with a clear blueprint for change. These are leaders who have conquered the demons that have long crippled our political system: greed, tribal and religious divisiveness, unpatriotic decisions, selfishness, corruption, and elitist-centered governance. They rise above the politics of patronage and sentiment, focusing instead on nation-building, integrity, and service.

On the other side are the familiar faces, many Nigerian politicians. still ensnared in the very vices that have kept our country in a state of arrested development. Their politics is about preserving privilege, masking incompetence with tribal or religious appeals, and buying loyalty with money rather than earning trust with vision. It is no wonder that many of them resist Peter Obi’s presence in the political space, because his very existence and message become a living judgment against their actions, priorities, and intentions.

In the last presidential election, Nigerians, especially the young, the informed, and the hopeful, saw in Peter Obi what has been missing in our politics for generations. That he pulled a record number of votes for a first-time presidential candidate from an opposition party without the traditional political structure is proof of how deeply his message resonated.

More than just one candidate, Peter Obi has become a movement, a wake-up call that has also stirred some other politicians to rediscover their initial convictions about public service. His sole, immediate aim is clear: to retire the class of politicians that have driven Nigeria into the dungeon of economic decline, moral bankruptcy, and national disillusionment. This is not an act of personal ambition, but a noble, nationalistic, and patriotic mission.

If Nigeria embraces this new political consciousness, the fruits will begin to manifest in one to two years. We will see a citizenry more willing to entrust leadership to persons of character, not those who throw around the highest currency notes or try to manipulate voters with primitive sentiments like tribe and religion to hide their unfitness for office.

The truth remains eternal: a good and healthy tree bears fruit to everyone’s delight, but a bad and diseased tree leaves everyone hungry. The dice is cast. As citizens, we must choose wisely, not as pawns in a tribal or religious chess game, but as people who understand the power of our vote and the value of our lives.

It is time to queue where it makes the most sense. The future of Nigeria depends on it. I wish us well.

Nigerians should liberate themselves from the vampire- politicians and wolves offering nothing but agony.

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 presidential election, the political landscape is intensifying. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite facing criticism for his policies, may leverage the advantages of incumbency to implement people-oriented policies and win over the electorate.

While the coalition that removed the incumbent president in 2015 elections rallied around the popularity of the Alhaji Mohammed Buhari of blessed memory in the North to unseat Jonathan, a southern president.

Recently the situation and history is presenting a similar circumstance witnessed in 2015.

Politicians in the ruling party and the opposition parties are now struggling to maximise the situation to their advantage.

Though, the situation prior to 2015 and now might not really be typical. A coalition is being formed to remove the incumbent president but the manner they handle the situation will determine the outcome of the 2027 presidential election.

The Coalition needs to identify the most popular acceptable candidate so as to rally his support base just like was done with Buhari to defeat the incumbent.

The questions begging for answers are:

1. Which of the contestants has a natural strong support base to be rallied around?
2. Would the Coalition prefer a Southern candidate or a Northern one?
3. What would be the slogan of the current coalition? (It was 'Change' in the previous Coalition).
4. Do you think the current president will allow himself to be swept without taking necessary steps to forestall it?
5. Does the current president trust all his allies to still sincerely support him in 2027?
6. Could the current president correct some policy-mistakes and assuage some negative effects on the citizens before 2027, if any?

The outcome of the 2027 presidential election will depend on the strategic decisions of both the ruling party and the opposition coalition. The coalition's success will hinge on its ability to select a strong candidate, craft a compelling message, and mobilize support. Meanwhile, the incumbent president's fate will depend on his ability to adapt to changing circumstances and address the concerns of Nigerians.

I will advise you encourage her to maintain your trust for her especially in your absence because obviously she is hungry to fill emotionally any space you will leave because of your work demands. Encourage her to work on her feelings. If she doesn't have a work get her one or get her to learn a skill, and in the meantime get someone to always come around to stay with her anytime you are days off for work. Also Make that guy you saw her with a friend, and get his details.
Make sure you sound respectful in trying to persuade her to do any of these.

Prominent journalist and political commentator Donu Kogbara has highlighted the overwhelming public interest in Labour Party’s Peter Obi compared to other major opposition figures, stating that a single program she produced on Obi attracted 611 new subscribers to her YouTube channel, while a similar effort featuring Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi brought in only 170 combined.

Speaking on Arise News on Monday, July 7, 2025, Kogbara made the striking comparison during a discussion on the dynamics of Nigeria’s evolving opposition politics and the early groundwork being laid ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“After the program on Peter Obi, I got 611 new subscribers. But when I did a program about Amaechi and Atiku the following week, I only got something like 170,” she said, emphasizing the glaring gap in public engagement.

Kogbara explained that both programs were designed to test public interest in key opposition figures. The Obi-focused content, she said, was not only widely viewed but also generated enthusiastic reactions from a broader online audience. In contrast, the program dedicated to praising the qualities of Atiku and Amaechi struggled to generate traction, despite her efforts to present both men in a positive light.

Check the the following:

1. Identify triggers: Reflect on when and why you masturbate excessively. Is it stress, boredom, or emotional avoidance? Once you understand your triggers, you can develop coping mechanisms.


2. Find alternative activities: Engage in hobbies, exercise, or creative pursuits to redirect your energy and emotions.

3. Build healthy relationships: Nurture connections with friends, and family.

4. Practice self-care: Focus on physical and emotional well-being through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or meditation.

5. Set realistic goals: Gradually reduce frequency or establish boundaries for yourself. Join social group(s) to enable you connect with opposite gender.

Recovery is a process, and patience, self-compassion, and persistence are key.
