Do you know where the phrase "The Devil's Advocate" came from?

In 1587, Pope Sixtus V formalised an office in the Catholic Church called the “Promotor Fidei,” the Promoter of the Faith. People simply called him the “Advocatus Diaboli,” the Devil's Advocate.

His job was strange but necessary. Whenever the Church wanted to declare someone a saint, he was paid to argue against it. He dug for flaws, questioned miracles, and challenged every claim of holiness. If a candidate couldn't survive his attacks, they didn't become a saint.

Think about that. One of the most powerful institutions in history deliberately paid a man to disagree with it. Not because it loved criticism, but because it understood something powerful people often forget especially in this part of the world: when everyone around you agrees with you, you stop seeing your own mistakes. You stop growing.

The wisest and intentional governments in the world learned the same lesson.

In Britain, the Leader of the Opposition is paid a state salary, and opposition parties receive public funds called “Short Money” to scrutinise the government. So, the government literally funds its own critics.

Let us go further. After intelligence failures before the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel created a unit in their military intelligence whose only job is to argue against the official assessment. It's called “Ipcha Mistabra,” meaning "on the contrary."

After 9/11, the CIA set up a "Red Cell" to challenge the agency's own conclusions and think like its enemies.

Sweden created the world's first ombudsman in 1809: an independent official paid by the state to investigate complaints against the state. Not paper agencies like we have in Nigeria oh.

These governments didn't do this because they were weak. They did it because they wanted to be strong and most developed countries in the world including Canada has similar units.

Now, bring it home to Nigeria.

Here, it's the opposite. Our governments don't pay critics. They pay praise singers.

Count the aides, the media assistants, and the online warriors whose full-time job is to defend every decision, clap for every project, and attack anyone who asks a question. A citizen raises a concern about public spending, and instead of an answer, he gets a counterattack. He's called an enemy of the state, a paid agent, a frustrated politician, or a man seeking relevance.

Leaders here are surrounded by applause, those whose only job is to sing their praises and tell them "Your Excellency, you are doing well" every morning.

A few months ago, I made a post on this page detailing how I hired someone at KaaTruths Podcast whose job is to find fault in everything we do: every video, every question I ask, every graphic, every thumbnail, even the movement of my lips during interviews.

He started with my "hmm hmm" sound during interviews. I struggled until I stopped. He watched interviews I thought I'd nailed and told me he wouldn't watch them for a second. He once told me, "Sir, you spoke like an illiterate." He's empowered to be brutal, so we get hit internally before the public hits us.

It was the best decision I ever made for the podcast. Every new video is better than the last.

If a podcast can pay a man to criticise it, why can't a government?

Well, the answer is clear: most of our leaders are not interested in leading. They are just interested in power.

But if the government is reading this, I would propose the following:

Let every governor in Nigeria create an Office of the Devil's Advocate: independent, funded, and protected. Staff it with engineers, economists, and yes, critics. Give them access to the documents. Let them review every major project before a naira is spent, and publish their findings. Trust me, any government who does this would be the beloved of the people.

A government that fears criticism will always need praise singers. A government confident in its work will welcome the devil to the table.

Happy Independence Day and an optimistic new month ahead

In a recent video released from 2023, before Shehu Buba became a senator, he was seen alongside several Fulani Imams, including Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

In the video, he claimed that bandits are "his brothers" and vowed that they would defend and protect them.

He stated that they had been cheated for far too long and that they would no longer tolerate it, asserting that the reasons behind their banditry are completely justified.

He went on to say: "We understand that the government has wronged you, and we are standing up to tell the government that you are our brothers."

He pledged that they would never allow them to be labeled as bandits or terrorists, swearing that as long as they remain in Nigeria, they will not allow the military or state forces to fight them.

Fast forward: this same man won his election and was subsequently appointed to the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence!

Is it not completely logical to suspect that after every high-level security meeting, the confidential details reach bandit kingpins within minutes?

Are you still wondering why he was the primary advocate in the Senate pushing for a "non-kinetic" (soft) approach toward Fulani bandits?

Are you still wondering why, in videos released by Hassan ransom money was allegedly being processed and sanitized?

Are you still wondering why those same videos allegedly show his property being used to treat wounded bandits shot by our brave soldiers?
Is any of this really a surprise to you now?

A nation cannot defeat terrorism when those entrusted with its national security policy maintain ideological and operational ties to the very criminals destroying it.

Infiltration of high office by bandit sympathizers transforms state strategy from national defense into state-sanctioned complicity.

Until a republic investigates and purges political enablers of armed crime, security operations will remain compromised from within.

Kano Tricycle Rider Who Returned Missing N15m Offered 4 Women To Marry

The Kano Matchmaking Marriage Association, also known as Mai Dalilin Aure, has offered four women to the 22-year-old Keke rider who returned N15 million to the owner who forgot the money in his tricycle.

Auwalu Salisu found N15m, including some CFA currency, in his tricycle and returned it to the owner, who is from the Republic of Chad.

The matchmaking group promised four women for him to marry, to be selected from 10 women.

Speaking with Freedom Radio, Kano, the chairman of the association, Alhaji Mukhtar Inuwa Yakasai, said that among the ladies, two were his daughters.

Yakasai noted that the integrity, honesty, and trust displayed by the young man qualified him for the honour.

“He is indeed trustworthy. That is why we have decided to honour him with these gifts,” Yakasai said.

“There are 10 women for him to select from. Two of them are my daughters.”

CDCFIB RECORDS HISTORIC SUCCESS WITH FIRST-EVER DIGITAL ORAL INTERVIEW ACROSS 6 GEOPOLITICAL ZONES

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has recorded a historic milestone with the successful conduct of the digital oral interview for the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise across the six geopolitical zones of the country, the first of its kind.

For the first time in the Board’s history, the oral interview staged a critical component of the recruitment process, conducted using a hybrid digital model. Under this new system, shortlisted candidates present their official invitation slip at their designated zonal centres, the slip is scanned and instantly verified on the CDCFIB recruitment portal, after which the candidate proceeds for the oral interview with scores captured digitally in real-time.

This innovation has dismantled the old system of physical convergence of thousands in Abuja, eliminated logistical bottlenecks, security risk of travelling long distances, reduced cost and stress for applicants, and brought the recruitment process closer to the people.

This landmark achievement is a clear testament to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, which champions technology-driven governance, efficiency, and citizen-centered service delivery.

Under the reform-driven leadership and digital transformation vision of the Honourable Minister of Interior and Chairman of the Board, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Board has continued to entrench transparency, fairness and merit throughout the recruitment exercise.

In line with this, the Secretary to the Board, Maj. Gen. (Rtd) A M Jibril, has concluded a comprehensive tour of all oral interview centres across the six geopolitical zones. The Secretary expressed satisfaction with the seamless conduct of the exercise, commended the professionalism of the interview panels and the discipline of the candidates, and described the process as transparent, orderly and a new standard set for public service recruitment exercise in Nigeria.

The Board commends all shortlisted candidates for their cooperation, patience and reiterates that the entire recruitment process remains free, fair, transparent and strictly merit-based.

The CDCFIB remains committed to sustaining this digital momentum and setting a new benchmark for recruitment in Nigeria’s public service, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.

IF YOUR FLIGHT IS DELAYED FOR 3 HOURS IN NIGERIA, DON'T SHOUT AT THE AIR HOSTESS. DO THIS INSTEAD:

Yesterday I watched passengers fight at Lagos Airport because their flight was delayed for 6 hours. They shouted, they cursed, they went home with nothing.

You don't have to go home with nothing. The law is on your side.

Under NCAA Regulations Part 19, if your flight is delayed:

1. 2 HOURS DELAY: Airline MUST give you refreshment, free calls/emails.
2. 3 HOURS DELAY: You can demand REFUND of your ticket or REBOOKING to next available flight. Your choice, not theirs.
3. OVERNIGHT DELAY: They MUST give you hotel + transport + feeding. It's not a privilege, it's your right.
4. LUGGAGE LOST OR DELAYED? Under Montreal Convention, they owe you up to ∼$1,500. Most Nigerians just say "God will provide".
5. YOU CAN SUE: Takeoff, landing, turbulence injury - airline is liable.

WHAT TO DO:

- Don't fight. Ask for their "Passenger Rights Sheet"
- Take video/picture of departure board
- Keep your boarding pass
- Write to NCAA Consumer Protection Directorate: cpd@ncaa.gov.ng

The reason airlines misbehave in Nigeria is because we don't know our rights.

Share this to save someone stranded at the airport today.

Have you ever been delayed? What did the airline do for you?

37 DEATHS IN ONE ROOM: NIGER STATE AND THE QUESTIONS WE MUST NOT BURY WITH THEM

37 Nigerians died in one room.

Not in a war. Not in an accident on the highway. But in a detention cell in Minna, Niger State.

For over 48 hours, Nigerians have been left to speculate, to argue on WhatsApp groups and Facebook comments about how 37 young men - some of them CHILDREN below 18 - died at once. Some say suffocation. Some say chemical poisoning from mining sites. Some say disease outbreak.

But 48 hours after, where is the official press release?

Where is the science? Where is the truth?

If 37 people died in detention, Nigerians deserve more than rumours. We deserve a FORENSIC TRUTH.

WHO SHOULD BE SPEAKING BY NOW?

This is not a village matter. These are the authorities that must speak NOW:

1. Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) - In whose custody they died. The Commandant has been suspended, but suspension is not an answer.
2. Nigeria Police Force - Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Niger State Command - The lead agency for criminal investigation of unnatural death.
3. Department of State Services (DSS) - Already part of the investigation committee set up by Governor Bago.
4. Forensic Pathologists & Medical Examiners at General Hospital Minna and Federal Ministry of Health - Only an AUTOPSY, toxicology and histology can tell us if they died of suffocation, lead poisoning, mercury, cyanide or disease. Not a press statement.
5. Federal Ministry of Solid Minerals Development & Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment - Because what took them to that mine in the first place?
6. National Orientation Agency (NOA) and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA)- Where is the awareness?

Governor Bago confirmed 67 boys were crammed into ONE cell, and 37 died. Survivors said they were banging the door, begging for water, drinking their own urine to survive. They were left to gasp for air while officers watched.

If that survivor testimony is true, then we are not just talking about illegal mining. We are talking about negligent homicide and a violation of Section 34 of our Constitution - Right to Dignity.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REAL DISEASE: ILLEGAL MINING

For years, we have pretended not to know that illegal mining is the engine of insecurity in Niger, Zamfara, Kebbi and Nasarawa.

Who owns these illegal sites? Who are the sponsors with excavators, who pay peanuts to our sons to dig gold with bare hands? The boys you see are just labourers. The real owners are big men in cities - some with political protection.

Illegal mining in Nigeria is not hustle. It is a CRIME.

Under the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007, Section 131, unlawful mining without a licence is punishable by imprisonment, fines running into millions, and forfeiture of the minerals and equipment. When it leads to death, it can attract manslaughter and even murder charges under the Criminal Code, and charges of child labour and human trafficking.

But how many owners have been jailed? We arrest the small boys and leave the cartel.

And that gold does not stay here. Reports show it is smuggled out and trafficked through global supply chains while our children die in pits and our communities are taken over by bandits who protect the mines.

We ignored it, until the pit swallowed 37 lives at once.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

Some of those bodies on that green tarpaulin were children. Under 18.

Child labour. Cheap labour.

Someone recruited a 16-year-old to go and inhale mercury and lead for N3,000 a day. Who is that person? That is the question we must ask, not just "what killed them?"

The Child Rights Act and the Trafficking in Persons Act is clear. Using children in hazardous labour like mining is a crime. NAPTIP should be on this case too.

PARENTS, LET US ALSO LOOK IN THE MIRROR

I sympathize deeply with the parents. No mother should bury her son like this. May Allah comfort you.

But as parents, let us ask ourselves with a heavy heart - when our 15-year-old son brings home N10,000, N20,000 from a mining site, do we ask him where he got it from? Do we know illegal mining is a crime, or we just don't care because there is hunger in the house?

Poverty is real. I know. But a little accountability can save a life. If we do not question that money, we are silently sending them to death.

AND WHERE IS THE PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN?

The NOA, Ministry of Health, and State Environmental Agencies have failed these children.

Do our children know that illegal gold mining exposes them to lead poisoning, silicosis, mercury, cyanide that can damage their brain, lungs and kidneys forever? Do they know one night in a chemical-contaminated body inside an airless cell can kill them?

We have not taught them. We have not warned them. We only wait for tragedy to post RIP.

MY CALL TODAY

1. I call on President Bola Tinubu, the Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the IGP and the DSS to ensure a transparent, independent autopsy is published. No cover-up.
2. I call on the Federal Government to NAME and PROSECUTE the owners of the Wushishi and Lukoto illegal mining sites, not just the boys they used.
3. I call on NAFDAC, NOSDRA and Ministry of Solid Minerals to shut down all illegal sites in Niger State and create a register of legal artisanal miners with safety gear.
4. I call on NAPTIP and Ministry of Women Affairs to rescue children from mining pits in Niger and Zamfara.
5. And I call on YOU reading this - Stop celebrating "quick money" from illegal mining. It is blood money.

37 boys went out to look for daily bread. They came back as corpses. If we bury them without answers, we have buried our conscience with them.

May their souls rest in peace. May their families find justice.

We need peace. We need security. And it starts with telling the truth

REFLECTION BOOST

Rumors can turn you against innocent people. Don't judge people based on what others are saying about them. Be smart, get to know them yourself, and then form your own opinion. The one talking to you may be the one you need to stay away from.

The death of over 30 suspected illegal miners in the custody of the NSCDC is not merely an illegal-mining story; it is fundamentally a story about accountability, duty of care and the value of human life. Whatever offences these men may have been suspected of committing, once they were arrested and placed in state custody, the responsibility for their safety shifted to the authorities. Their deaths therefore demand more than an administrative suspension.
The suspension of the Niger State Commandant is a necessary step to facilitate an impartial investigation, but it must not become the end of accountability. The investigation should establish exactly what happened—from the moment of arrest, through transportation and detention, to the circumstances of their deaths. If negligence, overcrowding, denial of medical attention, abuse or any other unlawful conduct is established, individual responsibility should follow.
At the same time, the incident should not be used to undermine legitimate efforts to combat illegal mining. Nigeria needs firm enforcement of its mining laws, but enforcement must operate within the law and respect human dignity. A state that arrests people for an alleged crime cannot allow them to die in its custody without a clear and credible explanation.”
One particularly important point is that the cause of death has not yet been conclusively established. The Niger command initially referred to a suspected disease outbreak, but NSCDC headquarters cautioned that this had not been medically confirmed. That is why the promised forensic examinations and autopsies are important. �
Punch +1
Given your own NSCDC background, I would also distinguish institutional responsibility from individual guilt: the suspension does not by itself establish that the commandant personally caused the deaths. It creates room for an investigation without the officer remaining in operational command while the facts are being established.


Nigerians deserve better

NIGERIA NAIRA IN THE FOREST 🤔

In Nigeria we have two central bank, one in Abuja and the other is called forest Central bank of bandits.

The amount of money in the hands of bandits in the forest is more than the money in circulation in our economy.

Just imagine this kind of cash is in circulation and be chanel on good source, then we won't have the cause to complain that the economy is bad.

Sometimes I asked myself who are the ones behind this, that the government cannot flushout? Of what benefits they allowed this kind of calamity to be happening to us.

Honestly I will conclude bandits are the one in power that's why they cannot fight their brothers in the bush.

UNDERSTANDING HOW MONEY REALLY WORKS

You work for money. You save money. You spend money.

But have you ever stopped and asked yourself a simple question?

*What actually is money?*

Because the truth is, most people spend their entire lives chasing money without ever understanding how it works.

And that is a problem.

Every day, invisible financial systems are making decisions that affect your life, your salary, your savings, your debt, and even your future.

The strange part?

Nobody really teaches you this stuff.

School teaches algebra, history, and science. But when it comes to the rules that determine whether you stay broke or build wealth, most people are left to figure them out alone.

And that is why millions of people work hard for decades and still feel financially stuck.

Not because they are lazy.

Not because they are stupid.

But because nobody explained the game they are already playing.

Today, we are going to uncover some of the most important financial concepts every person should understand.

Not with boring textbook definitions.

Not with complicated jargon.

But through simple stories that reveal how money really works.

Because once you understand these invisible rules, you will never look at money the same way again.

---

*PART ONE: THE INVISIBLE THIEF*

Imagine you take $100 and hide it under your mattress.

No spending. No risk. No mistakes.

Just $100 sitting safely in your room.

Now imagine you come back 10 years later.

The money is still there. Every dollar. Every bill.

At first, that sounds like a good thing.

But here is the catch:

The world did not stand still while your money was sleeping.

Rent went up.

Groceries became more expensive.

Gas prices climbed.

Restaurant prices increased.

And suddenly, that same $100 can buy much less than it could 10 years ago.

This invisible force is called inflation.

Inflation is one of the most powerful financial forces in the world, yet most people barely think about it.

Inflation quietly reduces the purchasing power of your money year after year.

It does not steal the dollars from your wallet.

It steals what those dollars can buy.

That is why many people feel like they are earning more money but getting less in return.

Their salary increases, but prices increase faster. Before they realize it, they are running harder just to stay in the same place.

Some economists even describe inflation as a hidden tax because everyone experiences its effects, whether they understand it or not.

And if your money grows slower than inflation, you are not really moving forward.

You are slowly moving backward.

---

*PART TWO: THE SNOWBALL EFFECT*

Now let us talk about one of the most powerful wealth-building forces in finance:

Compound interest.

At first, it sounds boring.

In fact, it is probably one of the least exciting concepts in finance.

But it can become incredibly powerful over time.

Imagine a tiny snowball rolling down a hill.

At the beginning, it looks small. Almost insignificant.

But as it rolls, it collects more snow.

Then more snow.

And eventually, it becomes enormous.

That is the basic idea behind compound growth.

You earn money.

Then your money earns money.

Then the money your money earned starts earning money too.

The growth begins slowly.

Sometimes painfully slowly.

But eventually, something incredible happens.

The curve starts to bend upward, and the growth accelerates.

This is why time is so important.

Someone who starts investing at age 20 can potentially end up with significantly more wealth than someone who starts at age 30, even if the second person invests more money.

Because in finance, time can be more valuable than effort.

The earlier you start, the bigger the snowball has the opportunity to become.

---

*PART THREE: THE SECRET SCORE*

Right now, there may be a number quietly following you around.

You cannot see it.

You may not think about it every day.

But banks do.

Lenders do.

Credit card companies do.

And sometimes landlords do too.

It is called your credit score.

Think of it as a financial reputation score.

It helps lenders assess one important question:

Can this person be trusted to repay what they borrow?

A lot of people think credit scores measure wealth.

They do not.

You can be rich and have a terrible credit score.

You can be broke and have an excellent one.

A credit score is primarily about your credit history and how reliably you manage borrowed money.

Do you pay your bills on time?

Do you manage debt responsibly?

Do you keep your financial commitments?

The stronger your credit history, the more trust lenders may place in you.

And trust has value.

A good credit profile can potentially save you significant amounts of money.

A poor one can make borrowing more expensive.

The crazy part is that many people spend years trying to earn more money while completely ignoring the financial reputation that can influence how expensive borrowing becomes.

---

*PART FOUR: BORROWING FROM YOUR FUTURE*

Most people think debt is simply money.

But debt is better understood as future income being committed today.

Every time you borrow money, you are making a deal with your future self.

You are saying:

“I will enjoy this now, and my future self will handle the bill.”

Sometimes, that can be a smart decision.

A business loan can create an opportunity.

A mortgage can help you acquire an asset and potentially build long-term wealth.

But not all debt is equal.

Using debt carefully to acquire productive assets can create opportunities.

Using debt to constantly buy things that take money out of your pocket can create a trap.

And many people do not realize they are trapped until years later.

Because debt does not always hurt immediately.

It hurts gradually.

One payment.

Then another.

Then another.

Until your future income is no longer fully yours.

It is already spoken for.

---

*PART FIVE: MONEY THAT DOESN’T EXIST AS CASH*

Here is something that surprises many people:

Most modern money is not physical cash.

A large portion of the money in the economy exists as bank deposits, and commercial bank lending plays an important role in creating new deposits.

Think about that.

When banks make loans, they can create new deposits in the process.

The financial system therefore depends heavily on trust.

Trust that loans will be repaid.

Trust that money will be accepted.

Trust that the system will continue functioning tomorrow.

Money is not simply paper.

It is also a system built on trust, confidence, rules, and a shared agreement about value.

Once you understand that, you start seeing money very differently.

---

*PART SIX: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUILDING WEALTH AND LOOKING WEALTHY*

Many people spend their lives chasing possessions.

People who build wealth often focus more on acquiring assets.

An asset can generate income or hold value.

A liability creates an ongoing financial obligation or takes money out of your pocket.

That is one of the simplest and most important lessons in personal finance.

Many people buy things that make them look rich.

People building wealth often prioritize things that can produce income or grow in value.

One grows appearances.

The other can grow wealth.

And over decades, that small difference can become enormous.

---

*PART SEVEN: THE WEALTH SCOREBOARD*

Most people focus on income.

But income does not tell the whole story.

Net worth does.

Net worth is simply:

What you own minus what you owe.

Someone earning a six-figure income can still have a negative net worth.

Someone earning far less can quietly build substantial wealth.

Why?

Because wealth is not simply about how much money comes in.

It is about what you keep, what you own, what you owe, and what those assets can produce or become worth over time.

Income can make you look rich. Net worth gives you a clearer picture of your financial position.

---

*PART EIGHT: THE COST YOU NEVER SEE*

Every financial decision has a hidden cost.

Not just what you spend, but what you give up by spending it.

Economists call this opportunity cost.

Imagine spending $1,000 today.

Simple enough.

But what if that same $1,000 could have been invested and grown significantly over time?

Suddenly, the true cost of spending that money is much larger than the amount on the receipt.

Every dollar has multiple possible futures.

And every choice closes certain doors while opening others.

People who build wealth understand this.

They do not only ask:

“What does this cost?”

They also ask:

“What am I giving up by choosing this?”

That question can completely change the way you spend and invest your money.

---

*CONCLUSION*

Money is not necessarily complicated.

It is unfamiliar.

Nobody was born understanding inflation, debt, credit, compound growth, opportunity cost, or net worth.

But these invisible forces can shape many of the financial outcomes in your life, whether you understand them or not.

The game is already being played.

The question is: Will you finally learn the rules?

Because once you understand how money actually works, you become better equipped to make informed financial decisions instead of simply reacting to circumstances.

You stop being controlled by your lack of financial knowledge.

And you start learning how to make your money work for you, instead of spending your entire life working only for money.

Learn the rules. Understand the system. Control your money before your money controls you.

Edo State University, Uzairue — State-owned
This is the clearest current example I found.
For 2025/2026, the university's official fee schedule shows:

Electrical/Electronic Engineering: ₦603,500
Nursing: ₦1,844,375
Medical Laboratory Science: ₦1,225,625
Medicine & Surgery: ₦3,900,600
These figures are school fees excluding accommodation. �

3. Rivers State University — State-owned
Interestingly, the official RSU fee schedule I found for 2024/2025 shows some categories reaching:
₦479,600 for certain students
₦446,600 for another category.

Amigoos1:
Which government university is paying 450k per session?

FROM NOW TIL 2027, 3 THINGS WILL BECOME IMPOSSIBLE FOR 140 MILLION PEOPLE IN NIGERIA.
Especially if the current governance continues on this trajectory without being checked.
1. Owning a Vehicle, Car, or Motorcycle:
Right now, a liter of petrol costs between ₦1,400 and ₦1,500. The worker's minimum wage has become a joke. Businesses yield no profit, and for some, the cost of transportation to their workplace exceeds their entire earnings. As for artisans and handcrafters, their capital and profits are entirely consumed by buying fuel for generators, because NEPA electricity has long become a thing of the past in this country.
Trekking or riding donkeys will soon become commonplace.
2. Running a Business and Banking:
The new taxes coming into effect in 2027 right after the elections, which the government has rolled out for full implementation, will push ordinary people out of the banking system. Every single transaction you make in your account will attract heavy deductions. This system will collapse small businesses and reduce banking and commerce to an exclusive privilege for the rich.
3. Western Education:
You cannot hike tuition fees from ₦50,000 to ₦450,000, start distributing student loans, and then claim you have achieved something commendable. Today, if the NELFUND loan scheme stops, where will a poor person's child find ₦450,000 to pay for registration? Furthermore, regarding this loan you are celebrating—how will you repay it after graduation when there are no jobs? If we are not careful, education will become accessible only to the privileged.
Honestly, we must wake up from this slumber and fix our future, otherwise, we will perish where we stand.

C O P I E D

Furthermore, Peter Obi is right that Nigeria needs better leadership, but leadership must ultimately be judged by measurable results—not eloquent speeches.

Since 2023, Tinubu's administration has undertaken difficult reforms, including fuel-subsidy removal, exchange-rate reform and major revenue reforms. Nigeria's real GDP growth improved from 3.38% in 2024 to 3.87% in 2025, and reached 4.43% in Q2 2026. Oil production also rose to 1.72 million barrels per day.

The government has also committed heavily to infrastructure and development, with the 2026 budget allocating about ₦32.2 trillion to capital projects.

These figures do not mean Nigerians are comfortable—far from it. Inflation, insecurity, poverty and declining purchasing power remain serious concerns. But if Obi wants Nigerians to believe that leadership is the problem, he must go beyond diagnosis: what exactly would he do differently, how would he fund it, and what measurable results should Nigerians expect?

Nigeria needs accountability from Tinubu—but it also needs Obi to subject his own promises to the same rigorous scrutiny.

eddie7:
Peter Obi is right about one thing: leadership matters. But his latest sermon on “leadership reform” raises a fundamental question—is he describing a national prescription or simply positioning himself for 2027?

Nigeria's problems did not begin with Tinubu, and neither will they disappear simply by changing the occupant of Aso Rock. The country has suffered decades of institutional weaknesses, corruption, insecurity, poor productivity, inadequate infrastructure and policy inconsistency under successive administrations, including those in which today's opposition figures were themselves important political actors.

It is therefore convenient to tell Nigerians that the greatest problem is “leadership” without acknowledging the difficult reforms the present government has undertaken. The removal of fuel subsidy, exchange-rate reforms, efforts to increase government revenue, tax reforms, infrastructure investments and attempts to attract private capital are not imaginary achievements. One may strongly disagree with the manner, speed or social consequences of these policies, but dismissing them altogether would be intellectually dishonest.

The real question should therefore be: Are these reforms translating quickly enough into better lives for Nigerians? That is where the Tinubu administration should be rigorously judged.

But the same standard must apply to Peter Obi.

Talking about prudent management of resources, investment in education and healthcare, job creation, strengthening institutions and giving young Nigerians hope sounds excellent. The question is: How exactly would you achieve these things? With what resources? Within what timeframe? And what evidence do we have that your proposed model would perform better at the federal level?

Nigeria does not merely need inspiring speeches about “character, competence, capacity and commitment.” Nigerians need policies that can survive beyond political slogans.

And there is another uncomfortable question: if Nigeria's greatest resource is its people, as Obi rightly says, why should Nigerians accept a narrative in which virtually every difficulty is reduced to the failure of whoever is currently in power?

Leadership should indeed be reformed—but political accountability must also be reformed. Every politician seeking the presidency should be prepared to submit his past record, present promises and future plans to the same unforgiving scrutiny.

Tinubu should not receive a blank cheque simply because he calls his programme “reform.” But neither should Peter Obi receive one simply because he calls his programme “good leadership.”

Nigeria needs neither political messiahs nor eloquent diagnoses. It needs competent leadership, measurable results, institutional continuity and accountability.

If Obi believes he represents that alternative, then the 2027 contest should be about specific policies, credible numbers, implementation strategies and demonstrable capacity—not beautiful speeches about the Nigeria we all wish to have.

Peter Obi is right about one thing: leadership matters. But his latest sermon on “leadership reform” raises a fundamental question—is he describing a national prescription or simply positioning himself for 2027?

Nigeria's problems did not begin with Tinubu, and neither will they disappear simply by changing the occupant of Aso Rock. The country has suffered decades of institutional weaknesses, corruption, insecurity, poor productivity, inadequate infrastructure and policy inconsistency under successive administrations, including those in which today's opposition figures were themselves important political actors.

It is therefore convenient to tell Nigerians that the greatest problem is “leadership” without acknowledging the difficult reforms the present government has undertaken. The removal of fuel subsidy, exchange-rate reforms, efforts to increase government revenue, tax reforms, infrastructure investments and attempts to attract private capital are not imaginary achievements. One may strongly disagree with the manner, speed or social consequences of these policies, but dismissing them altogether would be intellectually dishonest.

The real question should therefore be: Are these reforms translating quickly enough into better lives for Nigerians? That is where the Tinubu administration should be rigorously judged.

But the same standard must apply to Peter Obi.

So sorry to disappoint you, I'm not an Obedient.
Secondly, if your eyes and senses are actually working, you could have noted that I am not the direct writer of this piece

Lithiumite:
Burden of proof is on you the accuser, but if he was supporting obi you would have been praising him as patriotic.

One is already serving a jail term. Others will follow

Professor Ignatius Uduk of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO). Is one example

Lithiumite:
Name the VCs you see as partisanwith proof and make it public,we will take it from there.......

MY THOUGHT THIS MORNING

Why The INEC Must Not Use Vice Chancellors And Senior Lecturers As Returning And Collation Officers In The 2027 Election

My Prognosis:

The Tinubu 2023 Place holder Masari and a clique of Northern governors including Uba Sani, Zulum and Dauda Lawal met behind closed doors with over 600 Senior Lecturers led by the Vice Chancellor of the Kaduna State University, at Kaduna in a closed door Meeting (Source: Daily Trust)

Daily Trust further reported that at the end of the Meeting, the Senior academics drawn from various public Universities in the North, endorsed Tinubu for the second term tenure

There is nothing wrong for the academics to hold political meetings with politicians or even to join political parties as registered and card carrying members

It's perfectly within their Constitutional rights as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

However, against the back drop of the fact that the INEC since the time of Professor Jega has decided to be using the Senior academics including Vice Chancellors of Universities as Returning and Collation Officers in our elections, this Kaduna closed door Meeting becomes particularly worrisome and the intention very highly suspicious.

The politicians out of sheer desperation have shown their hands too early in the day.

It's all the more reason the INEC must not use the University Lecturers or Vice Chancellors as Returning or Collation Officers in the 2027 elections and beyond.

Their integrity, independence and impartiality can no longer be trusted by Nigerian voters; since they have started hobnobing and holding clandestine closed Meetings with the politicians of the ruling party

The academics have descended into the arena of electoral contest and have already taken sides with the ruling party the APC ahead of the election

We can therefore no longer trust them to be impartial in the Collation of election results and declaration of the winners of the election

For the INEC to conduct free, fair, credible and transparent elections, the officers involved must be persons whose integrity and impartiality are beyond reproach.

These Lecturers have demonstrated their partisanship and are not worthy of playing the roles of election officials in the 2027 elections

And as it's said, it's one bad Apple that spoils the whole basket.
What these Northern Lecturers have shown is that we can not trust their colleagues in the other Regions to be different.

Politicians have invaded the academic community in anticipation of using them to advantage in 2027

The people must say No and the INEC must not use Lecturers as electoral officers in 2027.

Maiduguri has entered a new era of petroleum economics! 😂

At ₦1,600 per litre, petrol is no longer just fuel—it is now a luxury item, an investment, and possibly a future means of acquiring land. 😂

You don't buy petrol in Maiduguri anymore; you negotiate with it. Before filling your tank, you may need to ask: “Sir, can I pay in instalments?” 😭

Meanwhile, the government keeps telling us that the economy is improving. Apparently, the improvement is happening somewhere our eyes cannot see. 😂

At this rate, very soon, filling stations may stop displaying the price per litre and start displaying “Price available on request.”

And the most interesting part? We are told to keep enduring because “things will soon get better.” Nigerians have heard that promise so many times that “soon” has practically become a permanent government policy. 😂

Maiduguri ₦1,600/litre: When fuel becomes more precious than the salary used to buy it. 🇳🇬😂

WE ONCE LIVED IN A PARADISE

Once upon a time, this pot was found in the kitchen of every family, whether rich or poor.

The kitchen was usually accessible to everyone, including visitors and neighbours.

The pot usually had a cup placed on top of it.

Anyone who was thirsty simply scooped water, drank, and placed the cup back.

Was the cup washed before or after drinking? For where. It was only washed in the morning and never again until the next day.

The Indomie generation will not believe this. That was possible because there was no Nollywood that gave people the impression that society, especially the villages, were occupied by evil men and women looking for whom to p0ison.

It was a time when churchgoers were not told from the pulpit that their predicaments were caused by their family members, neighbors, and friends.

I am talking about a time when it was unheard of for native doctors to brag about possessing the powers to make one rich.

The time I am talking about was a time when uncles were known to be the best friends of their nieces and nephews.

During the holidays, children were moving from one uncle and aunt to another. It was always joyful to see an uncle or an aunt.

Today, there is hardly any die-by-fire prayer without mentioning wicked uncles.

I am talking about a time when children played together and when it was difficult or even impossible to distinguish the children of the rich from that of the poor when they are playing.

Yes, houses were built without fences because no one was afraid of being maimed by the other.

I decided to post this to remind us that there was a time when we lived in paradise

*The Harsh Truths About MEN Nobody Wants to Admit*

_______________
1. Men are only loved based on what they provide.
A man without money, status, or value is invisible to society—even to his own family.

2. Men don’t get sympathy, only expectations.
A struggling man is mocked, not helped. The world doesn’t care about his pain—only his productivity.

3. If a man fails, he is on his own.
No safety net, no pity. A failed man is seen as useless, even by those who once praised him.

4. Men are only as good as their last achievement.
Your past success means nothing if you can’t maintain it. The moment you fall, you become irrelevant.

5. Nobody teaches men how to deal with emotions.
Society says “Be a man,” but never explains how to handle pain, stress, or heartbreak.

6. Men are judged by results, not effort.
Nobody cares how hard you try—if you don’t succeed, you’re just making excuses.

7. Men must build themselves from scratch.
No handouts, no shortcuts. A man must create his own value or be ignored.

8. Men’s problems are seen as complaints.
If a man speaks about his struggles, he’s called weak. If he stays silent, he suffers alone.

9. Men are replaceable.
In relationships, jobs, and even families—if a man can’t provide, he’s discarded like an old tool.

10. A man’s worth is always conditional.
No matter how much he loves, gives, or sacrifices, his value is always tied to what he can do.

This is the brutal reality. A man must level up, stay strong, and never expect handouts. Because in the end… Nobody is coming to save you.

*Note:*
_So remember to *take care* of *yourself* by *yourself* for *yourself.*_

PRESS RELEASE

POLICE REPEL ARMED BANDITS' ATTACK ON AYILAMO COMMUNITY

The Benue State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public of the repelled attack on Ayilamo Community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State on 10th September 2026.

Report received reveals that suspected armed bandits in large numbers invaded and attacked the community at about 1812hrs. Police operatives comprising PMF units, tactical teams and conventional police officers deployed to the area gallantly responded and engaged the attackers in a sustained operation which lasted for seven hours.

The operatives stood firm in defence of the community and successfully repelled the attack, forcing the criminal elements to retreat into the surrounding forest with heavy casualties in the early hours of 11th September 2026.

Regrettably, four police officers paid the supreme price in the course of defending the community. Their bodies were subsequently recovered during search and rescue operations in the surrounding bushes. The corpses of seven civilians were also recovered following the attack and deposited at a mortuary for necessary procedures.

The Commissioner of Police, Benue State Command, CP Cletus C. N. Nwadiogbu, psc(+), mnips, PhD, has commended the courage, resilience and gallantry displayed by the operatives who stood firm in defence of the community. He paid special tribute to the fallen officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their nation.

The Commissioner of Police also extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased civilians and the entire Ayilamo Community, assuring them that the Command shares in their grief and remains resolute in its commitment to protecting lives and property.

Meanwhile, additional tactical teams have been mobilised and deployed to the area to reinforce existing security arrangements, while the Command continues to work closely with other security agencies to strengthen security and sustain operations in the affected area.

The Benue State Police Command reassures residents of Ayilamo Community and the people of Benue State that every necessary measure is being taken to protect lives and property. Members of the public are urged to remain calm, vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing useful and timely information that can assist ongoing operations.

11th September, 2026.

BAD ADULTS ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE A PROJECT. No one wakes up at 30 and suddenly becomes rude, entitled, dishonest and impossible to deal with.

That software was installed early.
Bad manners don’t come from nowhere.
They are raised.
Fed.
Protected.

We have parents who are allergic to correcting children.
“They are children.”
“They will change with time.
“Let the children express themselves.”

Express themselves into what?
A menace?

So the child talks back to adults.
Throws tantrums in public.
Disrespects teachers.
Breaks rules with confidence.

Parents clap.
“The kid is smart.”

Fast forward 20 years.
Same child.
Now an adult.
Can’t keep a job.
Can’t respect authority.
Can’t take correction.
Always offended.
Always the victim.
And suddenly society is the problem.

No.
You skipped your assignment.
Discipline is not abuse.
Correction is not hatred.
Boundaries are not trauma.

Character is built when it is uncomfortable.
When “no” is enforced.
When actions have consequences.
We are raising children who have never been told
“Sit down.”
“Apologize.”
“Do it again.”
“Face the consequences.”

Then we release them into the world and expect miracles.
Schools don’t raise children.
The internet doesn’t raise children.
Church or Mosque doesn’t raise children.

Parents do.
If you refuse to correct your child, society will do it for you.
And society has no patience.
No mercy.
No explanation.
Prisons are full of people who were never corrected early.
Homes are full of adults who are emotionally immature because no one taught them discipline.

Raise children with manners.
With respect.
With accountability.
Otherwise you are not raising a child.
You’re manufacturing a future problem.
And society will send you the bill.
May God protect our Children
Amen 🙏.
Hava a great day
