You cannot divide the people and expect to lead a united people.
When citizens start becoming immune to tribalism and people being called slaves, we know we have a problem.
As we bask in the newness of 2024, let’s prioritize Nigeria by shifting our focus from divisions to progress. We are, indeed, greater than these divides and must not hinder our own potential.

If the legendary American astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, can be of the opinion that Africa is on its way to becoming a superpower, who are we not to share his belief? 😎

Long caption alert, but I hope to inspire someone.
Exactly a year ago, the first episode of The African Story, “Why Nigeria Is Not Truly Free,” was launched, and it went viral. Here is a clip that someone “remixed.” It was also forwarded many times
The Most Uncomfortable Nigerian Story
They don’t want citizens to talk about it, but I will. On July 6, 1967, the Nigerian government attacked the breakaway Republic of Biafra.
I am not asking for Nigeria to be split up, but the atrocities committed will forever be a dark part
Over time, we have seen who the real 'Coconut Head Generation' is. This generation is more awake than ever before. You have refused to be silenced, speaking out boldly for better governance.
If anyone tells you that your words don’t matter, don’t believe them. They do. Things
What a Space! Despite the atrocities committed last year, one thing is certain: people are not joking about good governance.

If the government effectively leads the people, there won't be a need to teach them to offer praise; ambassadors will naturally emerge everywhere. However, expecting people to overlook massive suffering is highly unrealistic.
The people need relief. The people deserve relief.

This video is about a week late. There was an undersea cable snafu that disrupted internet supply in some parts of Africa (as mentioned in the headlines 😊). This significantly slowed down my team during post-production, so much of the content that should
One thing that the last election taught us is that we should normalize speaking up for others when their rights are violated.
The drawback of waiting to speak up ONLY when something affects you directly is that too much damage may have been done to salvage your own rights.

I cannot over-stress the power of investing. 1. The stock market: Be calculated and mostly think long-term. 2. Real estate: Having a landlord is nice, but you should have properties you can live in and rent out too. 3. Own a business: This is where your passions will reward you.

Kenyans have decided to put KENYA first. During Occupy Nigeria and EndSARS, many Nigerians put NIGERIA first. Then, some of us decided that ethnicity was much more important than Nigeria, even if it meant that we should die in silence.
It is well.
Anyway, FREE KENYA!!!

While I think African men over-do the whole "I am in charge" movement (because in reality, a man doesn't have to demand leadership...He earns it by also giving his woman utmost love and respect), I find it really unsexy for a woman to be in charge of any relationship or marriage.
