No one teaches us better about the hypocrisy of the Nigerian politician than @DonAzag

On Tuesday, Minister Toluwanisings was ministering at a worship concert in Ibadan. Less than 24 hours later, he was dead. He was 41.
His PA says they took him to seven or eight hospitals after he slumped. Some had no doctor. Some said their doctors were on strike. Some wouldn’t take him.
Let us talk about what actually determines whether somebody survives something like this.

Sometimes the blessing isn't always what God gives you but what he removes from your life.
Today, I left my house as early as 8:30 a.m. to work. I completed five trips:
First trip: ₦19,800
Second trip: ₦10,900
Third trip: ₦15,900
Fourth trip: ₦4,600
Fifth trip: ₦4,500
Total earnings: ₦55,700.
I bought fuel worth ₦20,000 in the morning and another ₦20,000 on my way back home. I paid Bolt ₦15,000 and still owe them ₦6,000. I also spent ₦2,100 on food, ₦2,500 on airtime and data, and ₦1,000 on water.
At the end of the day, after working from morning till evening, I was still running at a negative balance.
What we are experiencing in Nigeria is not living. How can you work all day and have nothing to show for it at the end of the day?
This is not sustainable. We are getting poorer every day, yet the government keeps coming up with lies.
Nobody can use the threat of hellfire to scare us anymore as Nigerians because, at this point, this is definitely the hell the Bible talks about.

If you want to be respected, taken seriously, and included in rooms where life-changing opportunities exist, you need to do some honest introspection.
If you’re guilty of these things, especially 5, 6, 10 and 11, don’t be surprised when people stop including you in important things.
1. Don’t be the guy who sends people his account number without being asked.
Someone gets paid, buys something expensive, or appears to have money, and your next move is to slide into their DM with your account details.
That’s very weird. Get rid of that sense of entitlement.
I’ve seen many people comment that life is not Nollywood, but they forget the Yoruba adage that says, “The cane used to beat the first wife is kept somewhere for the second wife.”
Know for sure that trust is a currency everyone spends. Both good and bad people need it. Once you act in a way that makes people lose trust in you, it’s only a matter of time before they discard you.
It may take a long time, but both parties will live in fear for as long as they remain together.
Nigeria men are the best all over the world , every woman want to be with them except Nigeria women
American woman engaged to a Nigerian man wonders if Nigerian men are environmentalists after discovering that her electricity bill dropped by $80 the month her fiancé moved into her house. She says he manages electricity so well that he often stays in the dark to save power. 😂😭
Who was the first person that monetize Sex ? I mean the first man that offer a woman money for sex and the first woman that demanded money for first
Let no religion use Hell fire to scare Nigerians anymore because what we witness in the hand of our government is worst than hell

You will not see a better argument against the way president Tinubu removed subsidy.
Take your flowers @iamayolawal
Quality of Service and network performance are part of NCC’s regulatory responsibilities.
The Commission conducts assessments of operators and sets regulatory requirements relating to service quality.
So when you complain about:
“My network is always bad here.”
That can become a regulatory issue—not merely a personal complaint.
🇳🇬 KNOW THE INSTITUTION.
KNOW ITS MANDATE.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
NCC means:
Nigerian Communications Commission.
It is Nigeria’s telecommunications industry regulator.
Its job is to regulate the communications sector and protect the interests of consumers while promoting competition and investment in the industry.
KNOW THE INSTITUTION.
KNOW ITS MANDATE.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Day 3 (English) of me telling you to avoid Libya.
The risk of abduction is high.
I met a Nigerian who was abducted, tortured, used as a slave by the Arabs for 8 months, and he still paid a ransom for his freedom.
I met a young man from Edo who was abducted and sent to Central Africa Republic (CAR), then got sold to a second set of kidnappers. After two captivity spells and five months on the road without getting to his destination in Libya, he made a U-turn to Nigeria.
I was almost kidnapped myself.
And guess what? If you get abducted and you pay the ransom quickly, problem. If you pay it late, problem!

‘God Save Me’.
That was the graffiti (pictured below) imprinted on a car by an unknown African migrant held hostage at a trafficking house in Ghut Shaal, Janzur, in north-western Libya.
In truth, only God can save any migrant who gets stuck in Libya after abandonment by heartless Libyan traffickers and kidnappers or arrest and detention by the police. But the mortal that I only am, I am determined to save as many migrants as possible from asking God to save them after embarking on an ill-advised trip to Libya.
Therefore, starting tomorrow and for the next 20 days, I’ll be on a campaign of short videos enlightening the public on why they should steer clear of Libya. These videos will be on all social media platforms, but my primary targets are Tiktok and Facebook, where traffickers often hoodwink unsuspecting youth with fake promises of a better life.
For the first 10 days, my messages will be released in English (morning) and Pidgin (evening).
The final 10 days will be made in Hausa (morning), Igbo (afternoon) and Yoruba (evening), consequently eliminating language barriers among subliterates and illiterates, who constitute the prime target groups of traffickers.
I know some will only learn by experience and will proceed to Libya regardless of advisories to the contrary, but I also know many would stay put in Nigeria if they had access to credible information.
Migrants like ‘Para’ and Samuel who told me “I wouldn’t have come if I knew I would suffer this much”, those are my targets. So help me God!

🇳🇬 KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT
THE NDDC
Why does Nigeria have a special government commission dedicated to the Niger Delta?
What exactly does NDDC do?
Who benefits from it?
And is NDDC simply a road-construction agency?
Let’s find out. 🧵👇
The Managing Director leads the day-to-day administration and operations of the Commission.
The Governing Board and management have different responsibilities.
Board oversight is not the same thing as day-to-day management.
That’s another important government-structure lesson.
Development projects can involve cooperation with:
🏛️ State governments
🏢 Federal agencies
🏭 Private companies
🌍 Development partners
🤝 Communities
👥 Civil society organisations
For example, in February 2026, NDDC signed an agreement with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) aimed at improving electricity in the Niger Delta
