Dear Nigerians, corruption is not just about corrupt politicians filling their pockets with public money. It is the mother who loses her baby because the hospital in her community lacks basic equipment, it is the family mourning a loved one kil!ed by a bad road filled with potholes, the child denied a decent education, and the bright business forced to shut down because there is no electricity. When public money is stolen by corrupt politicians, ordinary Nigerians pay the price with their lives, their dreams, and sadly their future.

INEC cannot afford to be careless with the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral process. The presence of AI-generated images in a register meant to support our democracy raises serious questions about verification, transparency and accountability. Our democracy is at stake here!

Long-term thinking changes your short-term actions.
-When you intend to invest long-term, it changes which stocks you buy.
-When you intend to be in a relationship long-term, it changes the type of person you look for.
-When you intend to stay injury-free for the long term, it changes the type of workouts you do.
Build what lasts.

Good work @eureka_seamless. If you care for it, please add a Vote Peter Obi Billboards and Stickers. If they won’t let him put it physically, we will put it in our favorite games.
Thanks, Chief 💜❤️

A reminder to anyone currently applying for scholarships, jobs, grad school or opportunities that feel slightly out of reach:
Keep applying to as many opportunities as possible.
You will never feel 100% ready.
Your CV will never feel “perfect.”
There will always be someone who looks more qualified.
But sometimes, all you need is one application to change the direction of your life.
A few months ago, I applied for the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship.
Today, I’m in the UK, beginning my MSc in Emerging Infections and Pandemics at the University of Liverpool as a Commonwealth Scholar. 🎓🇬🇧
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported my application journey. One lesson I’m taking with me into this new chapter:
Don’t reject yourself before the opportunity gets the chance to decide.
Apply. Ask. Try. Send the email.
The worst outcome is often the same place you already are.
The best outcome might completely surprise you.
Liverpool, let’s see what this new chapter brings! 🚀

Unfortunately if you want to grow you need to be exposed to hard things. You need to wire your brain to think that you can actually bypass anything. You are most probably capable, you just have not tested that ability yet. Do hard things. 🤍

A big clue to a bad mindset, is a young or mid-life person reminiscing about the past.
If you see your peak as behind you, and talk about your "glory days," you are crushing your future.
Eyes forward. Mind forward.
Start creating your best years.

Major cheat code for life: Be patient with yourself when you’re trying to become someone you’ve never been. You’ll feel lost, unsure, and tempted to quit. Don't. Change feels chaotic because your old self is fighting for survival. Expect it to be a battle. But also expect to win.

My circumstances aren’t a reflection of my worth in this world. There’s more to who I am beyond what’s happening to me. Good things have happened to me before and they’ll happen to me again. I remind myself of that and I repeat it as often as I can.

Foreign client: we'll pay you $4/hr for this job. You get as much as you work but must work minimum of 5hr/day.
We: Alright. Thank you.
Then the company employed a Nigerian HR, only for the HR to know that we're being paid $4/hr and went forward to tell the boss that the hourly wage was too much, advising them to bring it down to $2/HR, that a lot of Nigerians will still accept the pay.
Ladies and gentlemen, that was how our wages were downgraded from $4/hr to $2/hr all because the company hired a Nigerian HR.
Most Nigerians are just evil especially towards their fellow Nigerians. We're just wicked in this country.
Abuja gives me more reasons why I cant easily like a Nigerian
- Why are you living in a 100-200 million Naira House
- You drive all V8 engines
- Your kids go to schools paying over 1 million Naira a term
But you're paying your gateman 30k Naira a month.
Satan is your name
And this gateman washes your car, cleans the compound, trims the flowers, manages the gen house, goes on errands for you and your family while sleeping there waiting to confront an intruder every night
Meanwhile it's 30k Naira in this economy you choose to pay?

My mum’s whatsapp status. She goes about posting 10, 20 pictures and there is hardly anyone that is clear. The pictures often appear as though someone keeps shaking her hand while taking the pictures. Yet, she posts them. I love how she is not aware that the pictures are not great. To her, they are great and that is all that matters. That’s where I want her to keep living. I laugh a lot at her captions too. Tell me why someone will post a picture and caption it as follows: “Happy Sunday from iya alayo in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen”. I really don’t know but these things make me laugh a lot.
