Very good. Everybody must follow chop the food wey uba cook. No be only poor people go chop am.

For me personally, the funniest part isn’t even that Arsenal lost.

It’s that Gabriel ended up playing a major role in the defeat 😭

After a whole season of Arsenal fans defending the dark arts, the constant wrestling at corners, the blocking of goalkeepers, the tactical fouls and all the little tricks to gain an edge, it almost feels like football decided to deliver a perfect karma.

But on a serious note, I genuinely want to know the lore behind this Arsenal's hate.

I’ve never seen the football world this united against a club.

Arsenal won the league weeks ago and rival clubs were practically silent, no one congratulated them. Yet the moment they lost the Champions League final, timelines were flooded with clubs, fanbases and rival supporters celebrating like they had won a trophy themselves.

Even clubs with absolutely no connection to Arsenal were posting their own European Cup photos 😭

What exactly did Arsenal do to make the entire football universe move like this?

If you carefully watched the Champions League final, you’ll agree with me that PSG kept attacking after scoring while Arsenal started defending their one-goal lead too early.

Scoring in the 6th minute through Kai Havertz was the dream start, but it became a curse because it forced Arsenal into survival mode with 84 minutes of normal time left to play.

Instead of using that momentum to put PSG under real pressure, they immediately dropped into an extremely deep defensive block and completely surrendered the pitch.

PSG smelled that fear. Even after Ousmane Dembélé leveled it from the penalty spot, the French champions did not coast, they actively pushed for a winner, pinning Arsenal back, hitting the post, and forcing desperate last-minute clearances.

You cannot expect to win a European cup by camping in your own box from the 7th minute and praying your center-backs carry you through 120 minutes of relentless pressure.

Arsenal invited the onslaught by shutting down their own attacking game way too early, and in a final, that kind of negativity almost always catches up to you.

Fortunately, the Best team won.❤️💪


Dominique I dey gleet you o.

This is long over dew and I'm in total support of the protest.

Dating is when you and your girlfriend gives dates before seeing each other, while courtship is when the two of you have problems with each other and you decided to go to court and the court keeps adjourning your case and both of you keep going to court almost everyday to end the relationship. Your regular going in and out of the court because of the case is called courtship.

LETTER TO VDM

Dear VeryDarkMan,

First, let me say this clearly: not everybody has the courage to speak when things are wrong in Nigeria. In a country where many celebrities, influencers, and public figures are afraid to offend politicians because of contracts, connections, or fear, you stood up and used your voice. For that, many young Nigerians respect you.

You have helped expose scams, called attention to injustice, spoken for ordinary citizens, and forced conversations many people were afraid to have. Whether people like your style or not, nobody can deny that you shook Nigeria’s social media space and woke many youths up politically and socially.

But brother… this is exactly why I am writing this letter.

History has taught us one painful lesson: nobody fights the government head-on and truly wins in the end.

Ask Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

The same Fela that spoke truth to power was beaten, arrested repeatedly, humiliated, and his mother reportedly died after military officers invaded his Kalakuta Republic. Till today, Nigerians celebrate him, but the system dealt with him heavily while he was alive.

Ask Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni activists.

They fought for justice, environmental accountability, and the rights of their people. What happened? Execution.

Ask Dele Giwa.

Till today, many Nigerians still remember the parcel bomb that took his life after fearless journalism.

Even abroad, history is filled with people who challenged powerful systems and paid deeply for it — Malcolm X, Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, and many others. Some were imprisoned, silenced, disgraced, or eliminated politically and physically.

This is not me saying people should never criticize government. No. Democracy allows criticism. Citizens MUST question leadership. Even the presidency itself is not above criticism. But there is a dangerous line between activism and becoming consumed by the power social media gives.

Social media is a beautiful tool… until social media enters into you.

That is where trouble starts.

When the attention becomes addictive.
When every issue becomes personal.
When the crowd cheering begins to fuel grandiosity.
When a man starts believing he is untouchable because millions are reposting him.

That is the point many strong voices lose direction.

I listened to your recent response where you said:
“I am not going to defend the audio, it is my fundamental right to criticize the government…”

Brother, criticism and dissemination are two different things.

If you release or share an audio allegedly involving a sitting president, people will naturally expect you to stand firmly on the authenticity of it or distance yourself from it clearly. You cannot throw a grenade into the public space and then say, “I’m only exercising my rights.”

Rights come with responsibility too.

And let me say this openly — I am not even a fan of the current administration. I am currently in Nigeria and I can see the hardship myself. I see frustrated youths everywhere. I see unemployment. I see anger. I see hopelessness in many people’s eyes. So this is not about defending politicians.

But wisdom is also important.

The Nigerian government has more power, structure, influence, and patience than any social media activist. Governments don’t fight emotionally. They fight institutionally. Slowly. Strategically.

Sometimes, the greatest victory is knowing when to speak, when to slow down, and when to protect yourself for the future battles ahead.

Nigeria still needs strong voices.
But Nigeria does not need another destroyed voice.

May wisdom guide you.

My name is Nurudeen and I am a social worker!!.

This is hɛartbrɛak!ng 💔

The àgony of a Mother: 'I watched in hòrròr as five bàndits ràpèd my 13-year-old daughter after kìllìng my husband' - Plateau woman criès out

A young woman whose husband was killɛd by Fulani bàndits has narrated how five of the bàndits gàng-r@ped her 13-year-old daughter in her presence while the body of her husband lay beside her.

The woman who narrated her hòrrific experience on Tuesday, said the Fulani bàndits invaded her community in Bwai district in Mangu local government area of Plateau State in the night and went from house to house slàughtering people and livestock.

"The Fulani bàndits, who were over 100, invaded our community around 12 midnight and went from house to house killìng people, steàling our livestock, and killìng some of them.

They also bùrnt down some houses and food silos. When they got to our house, they asked about my husband, who was one of the leaders of the vigilante group. It was clear they knew my husband and had come purposefully to kìll him.

“When my husband heard them, he ran into the toilet to hide but when they threatenèd to kiìl me and our 13-year-old daughter, he came out and surrendered himself. He begged them to kìll him instead and spare me and our daughter.

“Luckily, our two older sons were in the boarding school; otherwise, they would have been killèd too.

One of the Fulani men told my husband, John, yau na ka ya kare. Ba kun kafa kungiya domin ku yi tare mu ba? Ina sauran mutanen ku?’ (John, today will be your end. So you people formed a group to stop us? So where are the remaining members of your group?)

“Having said that, he ordered one small boy who could not be more than 17 years old to sh00t my husband, and the boy carried out the orders immediately.

“I was busy begging them not to kill me and my daughter and the leader said they were not out to kìll women. The leader was looking at my daughter somehow, and I feared for the wòrst.

My fears were confirmed when he told my daughter to remove her clòthes and lie on the bed, that they were going to have sèx with her.

“I begged them not to dèfile my daughter, and out of desperation, offered to be ràpèd in her place, but they said I was old and they needed to taste a young girl. That was how the five of them gàng-ràped my little girl, and even when she pàssed out, they still continued assàulting her.

“The most hèartbrèaking part of the ordeal was that they made sure I watched what they were doing, and every time I turned my face away, they would slàp me and threatened to sh00t me if I refused to look. For over one hour, I watched in horròr as the animals took turns to ràpe my daughter.

“Since the ordeal, the girl has not been the same again. She has become a recluse and hardly talks to anyone. I have not shared this hòrrible experience with anyone to protect her, but I am opening up now to see if I can get help for my daughter, as her condition is becoming wòrse.

She can no longer control her blàdder and urinàtes on her body without control.

“I am a poor widow just managing to take care of my children but my life has been shàttered,” she said, breaking down in tɛars.

a looter in the making talking.

I attended Cherubim and Seraphim Church for two years before I left, and my experience there taught me so many lessons about Christianity and life. Let me share a few with you. Please read with an open mind o.

Just before I gained admission to the university, I attended a polytechnic where I earned a diploma. It was my first time leaving home alone, so my parents were understandably worried because I was quite young.

Since the polytechnic did not offer on-campus accommodation, we started house hunting. During that period, my dad’s aunt heard that I was coming to school in the city and offered that I live with her. After much consideration, I moved in.

Her husband was the founder of one of the well-known Cherubim and Seraphim churches in that city. He was a Primate and a heavily referenced spiritual leader within the denomination nationwide.

The church sat on a large expanse of land, with several houses belonging to the church. I remember one small house in particular where the spiritual leader would enter once a year. He had this yearly practice of going on a 21-day dry marathon fast and prayer. He would remain inside that house throughout, without stepping out. This man was deeply devoted.

Throughout my stay there, he never ate palm oil, salt, pepper, or any coloured food. Every church member knew this. I once asked how long he had lived that way, and I was told it had been decades.

When I first moved in, I would go out on Sundays looking for a Pentecostal church to attend because the church where my dad pastored did not have a branch in that city. After a few weeks of attending a church not too far from the house, my aunt asked why I didn’t want to attend their church, which was right there in the compound.

Well, long story short, I started attending C&S, and in no distant time, I had my first white garment.

Everything about their mode of worship was different: the order of service, the call and response, the incense, the candles, the colours of the garments and what each colour represented. There were also rules around women's purity and the white garment, especially as it concerns their monthly menstrual period.

I enjoy learning, so understanding this new expression of faith was fascinating for me.

I learned many lessons there, and my eyes were opened to several aspects of Christianity that the "average gospel” or Pentecostal Christian may not know.

The first lesson is this: Music is a portal.

Chai. I doubt there is any denomination that understands the depth and power of songs like C&S. I attended Apostolic Faith Church for three years (I will share my experience in this church another day). I experienced a different kind of musical depth there in Apostolic faith, but in C&S, songs can carry you fully into another realm.

To them, songs are not just for worship. Songs are tools for connecting with the heavens. They are portals for ascending and accessing the spirit realm.

Everywhere may look calm and normal one minute, but just wait until it is time for Ariya, that moment dedicated to singing and invoking the spirit, and you will see ordinary people transformed before your eyes.

People you were just greeting casually will suddenly begin to speak mysteries and deliver messages from a realm beyond them. You will see people vibrating in a different rhythm, and their dance steps will begin to carry movements that look almost angelic.

I always watched with so much fascination. Even young children were not left out.

Cherubim and Seraphim showed me that songs evoke spirits, and chants can launch a person deep into mysteries.

I later met a man from a completely different religion. He told me that in his religion, music is taboo. He does not listen to music, nor does he sing.

When I asked him why, he said evil spirits inhabit songs.
I could relate his explanation to my experience in C&S, not because C&S songs evoke evil spirits. Far from it, but because I had seen, with my own eyes, that music is truly a portal. It can connect a person beyond the ordinary.

There is a gospel minister named Asher Rouna, the man who sang the popular “Seven Eyes, Seven Winds, Seven Scrolls.” What he does with sounds reminds me so much of what C&S does with songs.

Even as a gospel believer, if you are trying to connect to depth and you are struggling to “launch” spiritually, playing the right song, praying in tongues, and concentrating can hasten the process.

I love the Cherubim and Seraphim Church.
Their hymns have stayed with me till this day. Once in a while, I still look for their channels on social media just to enjoy their melodious songs.

Over the years, the church has often been misunderstood and judged for many things. Some say they are too attached to Old Testament patterns. Some say they are unnecessarily religious in a funny way, but the truth is, every denomination has its own frailties, lapses, and excesses.

Should I talk about how proficient they are with the Scriptures? Haa, don’t go near a serious C&S member in a Bible competition o. You will be humbled.

They literally eat the Scriptures like food. They know so much offhand that I often wondered how they did it. I once met a man who could recite the longest chapter in the Bible by heart without blinking.
I could go on and on about this church. There is so much to say, but this post is already getting longer than I planned.

I think it is an erroneous belief to think God only dwells in your denomination, or to assume that other denominations are not serving God simply because their style does not sit well with you.
Their expressions may look strange to you, their practices may not be what you are used to, their garments, songs, prayers, symbols, or patterns may not fit into the version of Christianity you grew up with, but viewing them as lesser Christians could be spiritual pride wearing the clothes of doctrine.

Well, I left C & S after the completion of my National Diploma, but the experiences stayed with me to date. And yes, I still love them. Infact my best male friend of many decades is a devoted member, not a floor member o, he is an Alakoso(leader), and each year when he invites me as an Alaga(Chairperson) in their annual Ajodun(anniversary), I attend with so much joy and gladness.

Yes, some practices may seem extreme in some of these denominations, but I think we would rather let God be their judge, not you.

And maybe, just maybe, the body of Christ will be healthier when we stop acting like God gave one denomination the full picture and gave everyone else photocopies.

Halleluyah, Hosanna, Iye. Ma ye❤️

a thief in the making spotted

How did these men become so rich in less than three years of serving as Inspector General of Police?

Two former Inspectors General of Police under former President Muhammadu Buhari, Usman Alkali Baba and Abubakar Mohammed Adamu, both contested for governorship tickets under APC in Yobe and Nasarawa States.
Both men bought APC nomination and expression of interest forms reportedly worth about ₦50 million each.

These were public servants. Police officers who spent most of their careers in government service. Yet immediately after leaving office, they suddenly became wealthy enough to spend ₦50 million on forms alone, not including campaigns, consultations, logistics, delegates, and elections that could easily cost over ₦500 million or more if they had won the primaries. And Nigerians are expected not to ask questions?

Abubakar Adamu served as IGP from 2019–2021. Usman Alkali Baba served from 2021–2023.

In less than three years in office, they became powerful political figures with enormous financial strength. Meanwhile, millions of Nigerians became poorer during the same period. Inflation exploded, insecurity increased, businesses collapsed, and the economy suffered heavily.

This is why many Nigerians keep asking: What really happened during the Buhari years? How did public service suddenly become a gateway to massive wealth? Why are retired security chiefs immediately turning into heavyweight politicians?

The painful part is that ordinary Nigerians struggle daily to survive, while many former public officials move from government office straight into politics with unbelievable financial capacity.

Nigeria cannot truly recover from what Buhari, Tinubu and APC did to this country until citizens begin asking hard questions without fear or tribal sentiments.

Some truths are uncomfortable, but silence has cost this country too much. How did these men become so rich in less than 3 years of serving as Inspector General of Police?

PASTOR AYO, WHERE WAS YOUR "ANOINTING" WHEN CANCER CAME FOR YOU?

If you're religiously emotional or you dislike the truth, please, don't read further.

This post isn't an attack but it would tear your soul apart, but like I always say, when your soul is healed yiur vision will be healed...

So, Mr Ayo Oritsejafor just came out to tell us he was secretly battling cancer.

He spent months receiving treatment abroad, flew to the United States, and spent over $120,000 in medical bills before he recovered.

In fact, in his story, he claimed at one point the cancer had spread to other parts of his body. He couldn't breathe, got rushed back to the hospital, developed a serious infection that doctors had no medication for, and nearly died on the operating table before an elderly doctor stepped in.

And he's telling us all this now, as a testimony. Of course, like always, people will celebrate and rejoice.

Well, I rejoice that he is fine now!

But here's what nobody wants to say, because you're afraid or ignorant.

This man leads a congregation.
He has laid hands on sick people.
He has told people God heals through him.

By his own admission, he was standing in front of his church, laughing and smiling with cancer eating through his body, and he said nothing.
He didn't heal himself.
He didn't pray it away.

In fact, there's no acclaimed man of God he called to ask for healing.

He just booked a flight and found doctors. Chakam!

I hope you're learning?

Like I tell people, if you have any ailments, the first point of call is go to the hospital, use herbs or use medication that can treat you based on the recommendation of your doctor.

That is perfectly fine. That's what any sensible person should do.

Now, the problem I noticed about Mr Ayo is the double standard.

The same men who tell their congregation "touch not God's anointed" and "speak it into existence" and "your healing is already done" are the same ones quietly flying abroad for chemotherapy and surgery.

I have told you, you people don't want to believe, God has healed more people without any contact with a so-called man of God than you people claim; you don't need a man of God to heal you, you can say your prayers in the corner of your room and get your healing.

God will heal you, if He wants.

But you see the reality, these people you call Pastors send their children and wives abroad to get premium intensive medical care, because they can afford it with the same tithe and offerings and seeds you've invested into their "church".

See, they don't use their own theology when their own life is on the line.

That should tell you something.

...someone reading this post is planning to quote Paul's thorn in the flesh, but I will burst your bubbles. There are several schools of thought as to the specific "thorn".

...but then Paul himself said he prayed three times for that thorn to be removed and God told him no, that His grace was sufficient.

Paul was transparent about his weakness. He didn't build a money making avenue around "healing ministry" and then hid his sickness from the very people trusting him.

That's the difference. I hope you're getting the gist.

The apostle Paul's thorn actually destroys the argument of these modern "healers".

If anything it proves that even the most anointed person in the New Testament couldn't simply command sickness away.

So what exactly are today's pastors claiming to have that Paul didn't have?

Nobody is saying God doesn't heal. The question is whether these men are channels of healing the way they market themselves to be.

Because when it's their turn, they rush to Johns Hopkins in the US, they don't reach out to other men of God like them, they run to the hands of medicine.

See, I wish you can be as wise as your General Overseers using you... If you're sick, go and run test and get treated, instead of sowing seed, invest the money in your healthcare account.

Denominational Christianity in Nigeria has become a performance industry.

God is real and all powerful. But a lot of the men on those pulpits are selling something they don't believe in enough to use themselves.

Nouf said; may God open your eyes!

RIBADU JUST LEARNED THE HARDEST LESSON IN TINUBU’S APC

Nuhu Ribadu has just learned the kind of bitter political lesson many in the North keep learning the hard way under APC power politics.

Let’s not sugarcoat it. This was not just another routine appointment inside Tinubu’s government. This was a loud political message.

Ribadu has fallen.

He may still carry the title of National Security Adviser, but in Nigerian politics, title means nothing the moment real access to power starts slipping from your hands. In a presidency like Tinubu’s, power is not about what is written on paper. It is about who still has the president’s ear when doors are closed.

And right now, that power equation has changed.

Tinubu’s appointment of retired Major General Adeyinka Famadewa into the security structure was not random. It was calculated.

In Nigerian politics, parallel appointments are rarely innocent. They are usually a silent demotion dressed up as restructuring.

That is the bitter lesson Ribadu is learning.

For nearly two years, he looked untouchable. Many saw him as the second most powerful man in the administration after Tinubu himself. He had influence, visibility, direct access, and the kind of authority many politicians spend decades chasing.

But Nigerian politics has no permanent favorites.

The moment that access begins to weaken, the fall begins instantly.

A lot of people are rushing to blame Nasir El-Rufai, especially because their political friendship has turned into open hostility. Yes, El-Rufai may enjoy seeing Ribadu humbled. Yes, their fight has become personal and bitter.

But this fall runs deeper than that.

Ribadu’s real mistake was misunderstanding the kind of politics he was playing.

He got too comfortable.

He forgot one dangerous truth about Tinubu’s APC: loyalty today does not guarantee relevance tomorrow.

Reports, statements, and controversial moments — especially that “they are our brothers” remark about Northwest bandits — only added fuel to an already growing fire. In politics, one wrong statement can become the excuse needed to redraw the power map.

But the biggest mistake was political miscalculation.

Ribadu failed to study the brutal history of the office he occupied. The NSA seat is one of the most powerful positions in Nigeria, but it is also one of the most dangerous. Many who sit there rise fast, shine briefly, and fall suddenly.

He should have moved carefully.

He should have understood that under a southern presidency like Tinubu’s, federal politics follows a pattern many northern politicians keep pretending not to see.

This is the lesson.

Northern politicians often walk into southern-led administrations believing loyalty will protect them. They expect trust to translate into lasting influence.

It rarely does.

From Obasanjo to Jonathan and now Tinubu, the pattern has remained the same. The North supports, hopes, waits… and eventually watches power shift elsewhere.

Ribadu’s fall is bigger than one man losing influence.

It is a warning.

A brutal reminder that in Tinubu’s APC, proximity to power can disappear overnight.

And for Ribadu, that lesson has come at the most painful price possible..
