I held history in my hands yesterday. This is the West African Pilot of Tuesday, February 18, 1969. Price Three Pence. Vol XXX No 7,718. The big story on the front page shook me: 14-Point Peace Plan To End The War ZIK'S PROPOSAL REJECTED Federal Government Urges Ibos To Plead With Ojukwu To Lay Down Arms. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Zik of Africa, former President, had gone to Oxford University and presented a 14 point plan to end the civil war. He wanted the United Nations to step in and help stop the bloodshed. The Federal Military Government under General Yakubu Gowon rejected it. They said they would press forward. On the same front page, the Lagos Military Governor, Colonel Mobolaji Johnson, was warning Obas and Chiefs not to relax, because the war was not yet over. Another story: Five Management Executive Courses to start at Lagos Varsity on February 24, 1969. And a comment on the Ian Smith Constitution in Rhodesia. When I read this, one thing stood out for me. In 1969, our leaders were fighting over how to end a war. Today we are still fighting over how to build the peace they could not build then.

It doesn’t always work like that oh☹️☹️ When I was working in the bank, one of my colleagues was dating a big man who happened to be one of our major customers. At the time, she still had her boyfriend so we all advised her to just chop the man’s money while maintaining her relationship. 😭 Six months into the relationship, she came to work one day and told us the man wanted to leave his wife and marry her we screamed.. We told her not to make that mistake because we were convinced that if he could leave his wife for her, he could also leave her for someone else. She married him exactly one year into their relationship. Fast-forward to when she had her first pregnancy, the man sponsored her to USA to have their first baby. she sent us chocolate and whenever I’m eating that chocolate, I feel like ntor 🥵😜was attached to it because imagined she listened to our advice? She for still dey do “next customer please with that red bank” She has had her second child with the same man, got a brand-new car as a push present and her mum has travelled to the USA about five times now. Omo, life don pass rich prince falling in love with village girl feem abeg.. Anytime I view her status, I’m always grateful that she followed her mind oh and never listen to us.

Whoever advised me to get a big stabiliser and connect it to the entire apartment so that all my appliances depend on its voltage really did me a favour. Sometimes, when there’s electricity in the area but the voltage is too low to power the AC, freezer and other appliances properly, I barely notice because everything in my apartment keeps working just fine. The only downside is the occasional sound of the stabiliser as it regulates the voltage. Other than that, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. I don’t know what such a connection is called but I love it.

For those of you on this app supporting Tinubu, I have bookmarked your posts.✍️ I hope the money you have been paid will sustain you and your family for another 4 years. Because if Tinubu gets to rule for another 4 years, God forbid, and I see you tagging people for help on this app, I will remind you that you voted for Tinubu and you should go and get every help you need from APC. As suffer no Dey tire U Nah, collect APC bread with 5k and suffer with hungry, bad road, insecurity for another 4 years. If you get am for mind to vote APC, may your PVC lose ijn 🙏🫵

This will solve Lagos's one-way issues.

Bros u don’t have any right to banter Peter obi. If u are going to criticise his actions, do so with facts and evidence. But bantering him, for the sake of “we banter Tinubu, wike and others” is absolute gibberish. His name should never be mentioned with those losers unless you’ve secured corn in your pocket and if that’s the case, come out with your full chest, so that you can be addressed accordingly.

Who is your Presidential candidate for the January, 2027 elections?

JUST IN: 🇫🇷 France confirms first-ever human infection with Shamonda virus, previously only found in animals. patient has died.

QUIT SUPPORTING TINUBU ON TRIBAL GROUNDS! youtu.be/W6omflrqR8k This week, I urge Nigerians to put principles and performance above ethnic considerations when they are deciding which politicians to support.

NDC should create their own thugs who will face the thugs of the ruling party, if they really want Peter Obi in Aso Rock in 2027. Don’t take anything lightly. Nothing good comes without hardwork.

You're a very terrible person., and dumb too I must say. We all know why people are always coming out to defend Otti, I mean, intelligent people know why. Otti has been in govt for almost 4years now, we all know how terrible Abia State was before he came and he has been working. Show me one tweet where you commend him, e don reach to criticize am, you appeared. @myabiadaily abeg tell whoever to tell Otti to fix that school

How old were you when you finally discovered that Lagos is West West Nigeria, but not exclusively Yoruba land? Are you aware?
