I raise local chickens on a small poultry farm in my compound.

For months, two cats (mother and son) have been disturbing me on my mini poultry farm. There was a particular night they killed 7 small chickens at a go. They don't even kill one and go, they break their necks one by one, and then come back to drag the dead bodies to their den.

We tried a big trap that hunters use for bush rat. It almost closed one of the cats in on the first night, but the cat, struggled out before the stuff shut. The cats never went near the trap again, even though we always use their best food as bait, fried fish.

After a while, we decided to start using poison at different points of the compound. I had given up hope till this morning. I was looking for something in our gen house and I saw one of the cats their (the son), laying there, breathing heavily. I couldn't believe my eyes. At a point, it had felt like we were never going to win with them, sort of like how Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer felt in the movie, The Ghost and the Darkness, where lions were terrorizing a community in Kenya in the movie.

Anyway, within an hour, it took its last breath. Too bad I can't give the OPC guys at my junction who tried to catch it with a cage. They would have eaten it, but with it dying of poison, they can't eat it.

Attached are some pics of the cat. The chickens gathered around, making loud noises as they watched the lifeless body of the cat that ate their children and siblings and tormented their life for many months.

“Start Talking Like a Human Being…” – Lere Olayinka Finishes Rufai Oseni on Live TV Like a Charging Cable in Ilorin Heat

At last, the moment many of us have been praying for with low-key fasting finally arrived — Rufai Oseni got verbally karate-kicked on live television.

Lere Olayinka, in pure form, no chaser, no filter, took one look at Rufai's usual condescending babble and fired:

> “Start talking like a human being or stop talking to human beings and go run documentaries on animals.”



💀💀💀
We felt that one from Lagos to Lafia.

Honestly, someone had to say it. For years, Nigerians have endured Rufai’s unhinged baboonic tone dressed up as "journalism."

This man doesn’t interview — he interrogates, interrupts, and throws attitude like it’s a tennis match and we’re supposed to cheer.
...and when you try to respond?
Boom.!
You're cut off like PHCN power during JAMB exams.

He talks to people like he's addressing primary school delinquents — with that weird smirk and tone that screams, “I read Wikipedia last night, fear me.”

But today?
He met Lere.
And Lere said enough of the National Geographic behaviour.

See, Rufai talks as if he’s holding a superior gene strand.
But truth be told, if IQ were speed, Rufai is a tricycle on a bad Kano road during rainy season.

His go-to move is to shout over guests, play the “I’m enlightened” card, and hope viewers confuse noise with sense. (with eyes always red)

Sorry bro, we’ve caught on.

You can’t sit there week after week pretending to care about Nigeria while dragging people like your Twitter drafts are leaking live.
Arise TV is not a zoo.!
...and you're not the caretaker.

So let’s be clear:

This isn’t about journalism. It’s about decorum, human interaction, and knowing when to let people finish a sentence without barking.

And today, someone finally said what millions have whispered:

> Talk like a human being.
Or please — go talk to your mates at the animal kingdom.



Shout-out to Lere Olayinka for the verbal exorcism.
We needed that.
The nation thanks you.!

In the spirit of Eid.
Let the pride deflate.
...and may Rufai finally download some humility updates.

Aro is Ibibio. Ibibio occupied the whole of Abia state before Ibos pushed them south and appropriated their deity and attached Chukwu to Aro.

Abia state is Ibibio land just as Ebonyin is Hausa land and Anambara ia Igala/Edo, Enugu is Igala/Idoma, Imo is Ikwerre land. Ibos came from Equatorial Guinea and started eating up the neighborhood

BREAKING PATRIOTISM: Why Abdullahi's Exit From APC Is Another Loud Whisper That Nigeria Needs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in 2027 🇳🇬🔥

📰 Shock Resignations.
Silent Exits.
Northern elite discontent.

Mohammed H. Abdullahi, former Minister of Environment under Buhari, just quit APC.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed — silent resignation, no clear reason.

More will follow.

Let’s stop pretending we don’t know what’s going on.

This is not politics as usual.

It’s the elite rejection of a Tinubu-led war on terror, tribal greed, and inherited impunity.

Because while Tinubu is finally doing what Northern elites never dared — confronting terror sponsors, shaking the old tables, and trying to rebuild real federalism —
many are jumping ship.

Why?

Because the poor North wants peace, but the elite North wants power. (Elites want Power but the People want Peace)

🚨 But here’s the truth: Tinubu’s vision will collapse without a stabiliser.!

A real one.

Not a PR Vice President who disappears during national crises.
Not a benchwarmer with tribal loyalty but zero reform credibility.

This country is too fragile for decoration politics.

We need someone who commands global respect and domestic discipline.

🎓 Someone who rescued us from debt in the 2000s.
💰 Who can negotiate capital, not just chop it.
🗣 Who speaks truth to power and gets results.

●|□

👑 Enter Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Not as a woman.
Not even as a political icon.
But as a rescue partner — the exact counterbalance to Tinubu’s style of raw courage.

Because power is not enough.
Peace is not enough.
Policy is everything.

So yes, Shettima may be loyal.
But Nigeria doesn’t need loyalty.
It needs delivery.!
We don’t need a co-pilot in shadows.
We need a woman who’s sat at the table with the world’s economic titans, and held her own.

🛑 Because let’s be honest:

The North is bleeding.

The South is burning.

The East is exhausted.

The West is waiting.

...and the centre must hold — or we all fall.

So when people like Abdullahi and Baba-Ahmed jump ship without cause, we must see it for what it is:

📢 A sign that Tinubu needs a better co-pilot — one who doesn’t just balance the ticket, but lifts the nation.

•●

Dear Tinubu, if you want to retire as a hero of history, not just a headline of ambition — you need Dr. Ngozi beside you in 2027.

Let the patriots unite.
Let the enemies of peace fall apart.
Let us rise with brains, not just biceps.

It's said that petrol has been deregulated so it's the seller and buyer's deal. Why is the government interested in what happens at the border since it's paying no subsidy and people are currently paying full price for petrol and can decide what to do with it.

Before you tell me that it's cheaper in Nigeria, kindly note that it's one of the benefits of lower exchange rates. It makes export cheaper and should attract capital inflows. I don't really understand how Nigeria works honestly.

I can have issues with this if we're still under subsidy regime but since it's the reverse, I see no reason government should have a problem with it provided it has no security implications

Looking at the country that we are, with millions without job, can you take up the job of a domestic staff for a high profiled politician like a governor, senator etc in the country?

Remember you are a graduate. Might even be a masters holder or Ph.D.

For me, I would gladly take it because I can achieve a lot in less than 5 years than someone who put in 35years in state or local government civil service.

I know a domestic staff to a former governor who has built 3 houses already. Someone in civil service after 20 years hasn't bought a land yet.
