GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Since I woke up this morning, I've taken my time to go through the comments, quotes, and advice people have shared. Trust me, I'm going to take every single piece of advice seriously. However, there's one advice I will not take, and that's people telling me to stay away from politics and focus solely on my business.
I think I responded to someone's comment suggesting that we should vote for Peter Obi, and I noticed that quite a number of people dragged me for it. But honestly, why should I be told not to talk about politics and just concentrate on my business? Who do you think put me in the situation I'm currently in? Is it not the government? I shouldn't talk about politics, but politics is talking about me. Do you understand how badly government policies have affected my business and my livelihood?
I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who came through for me, but the truth is, I'm still going to bear losses. And who created the economic conditions that contributed to those losses? The government.
Let me also address those who believe I made a financial mistake by opening the shop in the first place. Yes, perhaps there were things I could have done differently, but let me give you some context. My shop is strategically located between two major universities in Port Harcourt: the University of Science and Technology (UST) and Ignatius Ajuru University. These institutions have thousands of students. Do you honestly think these students don't want cookies? Why do you think I chose that location in the first place? The idea was simple: students from both universities would make up a significant part of my customer base.
Interestingly, since this whole support campaign started, a good number of the people who have shown up to support me are students from these same universities. They have always been my target audience. But the problem is that the economy has destroyed their purchasing power. These students, who ordinarily would patronise my business, are now more concerned about paying school fees, feeding themselves, and meeting their basic needs.
And somehow, I'm being told not to talk about politics?
You're telling me to focus on my business, post my products, and leave politics alone. But why can't I do both? Why can't I promote my business and also speak about the political leadership and candidate I believe can bring about the change we desperately need? Why shouldn't I advocate for someone I believe can help change the circumstances that have made running a small business this difficult?
I was fortunate that my situation gained attention and people rallied around me. But what happens the next time? Will I have to depend on a viral post before I can make meaningful sales? Is that how a business should survive? Absolutely not.
I appreciate every single person who has supported me, advised me, encouraged me, and shown me love. I will take the business advice, learn from my mistakes, and make better decisions going forward.
But please, don't tell me to stop talking about politics. The economy is affecting my business. Government policies are affecting my customers. The political decisions being made in this country have direct consequences on my livelihood.
I cannot separate my business struggles from the politics and economic realities that contribute to them. I have every right to speak about both.
PLEASE VOTE PETER OBI!!! ✌️

Parabéns, mano, por esta caminhada tão bonita! 🙌🏾🇵🇹
Inspiraste-nos a todos e fizeste-nos acreditar que, como portugueses, podíamos ser os melhores do mundo. Fizeste-nos sentir orgulho em nós próprios, como povo e como seleção.
És e serás sempre uma referência para todos nós que te seguimos e que partilhámos contigo momentos maravilhosos, dentro e fora de campo.
A Seleção é o ponto mais alto das nossas carreiras e tenho um enorme orgulho em ter feito parte da tua história. Para mim, és o melhor de todos os tempos, não só pelo jogador que foste e por tudo o que deste à nossa Seleção, mas também pelo que representaste para todos nós.
Mesmo quando muitas vezes discordávamos, estávamos sempre a crescer, a melhorar e a aprender. E isso também te devemos.
Por tudo isso, só posso dizer: muito obrigado, Capitão! O que fizeste por Portugal e por todos nós jamais será esquecido. 🐐👏🏾

She ran under a hail of bullets while in labour.
On June 21st, Longdi ThankGod arrived at the hospital to give birth to her first child. Minutes later, terrorists stormed that same hospital.
Inside the reception, they killed her husband, her in-laws, her doctor, and her taxi driver.
Longdi escaped through an emergency exit while in active labour. Under gunfire, she ran 500 meters and delivered her baby alone in the bush.
She named him Naankibanmun — "God helped us."
He was orphaned on the day he was born, in the place he was supposed to meet his father.
Three months later, Longdi is still living with the trauma. We cannot look away.

I AM HEARTBROKEN AGAIN. HOW MANY MORE TEARS MUST I SHED BEFORE THE WORLD HEARS OUR CRY?
I am writing these words with a heart that is bleeding. Days ago, I stood beside a mass grave in Plateau State, Nigeria, weeping over the lifeless bodies of members of my congregation whose dreams, hopes, and futures were brutally cut short. I cried until I had no more strength. I thought those tears would be enough for one lifetime.
But today, I am heartbroken again.
Four more innocent people have been killed near my church. Four more families have been thrown into mourning. Four more homes have been filled with unbearable silence. Four more people who woke up with hopes and dreams will never return to their loved ones.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
How many more graves must we stand beside? How many more mothers must cry over their children? How many more children must grow up asking why their fathers and mothers never came home?
And who knows whether I am next?
Who can guarantee that tomorrow I will not be the one lying in a grave while my congregation gathers to mourn me? Who will stand beside my family if the next attack takes my life?
I am a shepherd. My responsibility is to protect, pray for, comfort, and lead my flock. But what happens when the shepherd is constantly forced to bury the very people he was called to care for?
My beloved, I am tired of burying my people. I am tired of seeing innocent blood spilled. I am tired of watching children become orphans and women become widows. Must our children inherit nothing but stories of killings, mass graves, and broken families?
OUR ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
We cannot simply fold our hands and watch our families, communities, and future disappear. If we do not stand together, protect innocent lives, and demand urgent action, we fear that one day there may be no one left to tell our story.
Are we going to wait until an entire generation is wiped out before the world decides that our lives matter?
I am therefore making another desperate appeal to the United States Government and the American people.
Please, hear our cry. Please, help us. We are not asking for sympathy alone; we are asking for meaningful intervention to protect innocent lives, strengthen security, support displaced families, and bring those responsible for these killings to justice.
How many more innocent Nigerians must die before the international community acts with urgency?
To the world, I ask: If these were your children, your parents, your brothers, or your sisters, would silence still be an option?
I am not asking the world to remember us only when another mass grave is discovered. I am asking the world to help us while there are still lives to save.
I WILL KEEP RAISING MY VOICE. I WILL KEEP SPEAKING FOR MY PEOPLE. I WILL KEEP CRYING OUT FOR JUSTICE.
Our lives matter. Our children matter. Our future matters.
May God remember Plateau State. May God comfort every grieving family. May He protect those who are still alive and give us the strength to see another day.
Because honestly, I do not know how many more funerals this broken heart can endure.
— Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo

Football belongs to the fans! Thank you to all the fans around the world, the Ballon D’Or of All Time is also yours.

🚨𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓: France Football wanted to give a Ballon d'Or to Messi for his performance in the 2026 World Cup. But Lionel Messi lost all the individual awards and the World Cup Final 2026.
So Messi's PR launched a media campaign to get his fans to vote for Messi as the greatest Ballon d'Or winner of all time.
France Football made an award named "BOAT" - Best Ballon d'Or Of All Time. Messi won 8 Ballon d'Ors, and they wanted to give him another one to make it 9, and then the Super Ballon d'Or to make it 10. 10 for LM10. ✅
They made it a ONE EURO fee for the voting system so that no one could vote for free and kids couldn't give votes. The people should be 18+ to vote because there are a lot of Ronaldo fans among young children. They get inspired by Ronaldo. They love Ronaldo.
But even after this criteria, Ronaldo's 2008 got 62% of the votes in just one day. They understood that Ronaldo might win. And they can't give another Ballon d'Or to Ronaldo. So they changed their award and statement overnight, saying that there is no physical trophy for "BOAT" and that it's just a fan poll.
What was equal to the Ballon d'Or became an online poll. And they knew that even if Ronaldo wins the BOAT, he will not go to take that. That would be an insult to France Football.
The story isn't even finished yet. Even after that, Ronaldo got 72% and then 75% of the votes for his 2008 Ballon d'Or, while Messi's 2012 is only the highest vote with 9%.
Then they stopped the voting for Ronaldo's 2008. You can't vote for that, but you can vote for Ronaldo 2017. But still, Cristiano Ronaldo won the BOAT, Best Ballon d'Or of All Time. 🐐🏆
Ronaldo won the BOAT while only having 5 Ballon d'Ors, while Messi lost having 8. ❌
Ronaldo is the only player in the history of football who won the Ballon d'Or 5 times and then exposed the Ballon d'Or publicly. 😳
The people voted for the right person, and Ronaldo stopped another Ballon d'Or robbery.
