When I survey the wondrous cross
On which my the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

As an Iranian woman who watched my country get ruined by Islamists, was bitten by the morality police, and saw my sisters and brothers die in the streets for protesting for freedom, I warn you Americans: don’t assume it can’t happen here.
Before 1979, many Iranians thought their relatively modern society was safe from a full Islamist takeover. They were wrong. After the revolution, Sharia became law. Women lost fundamental rights overnight. The legal marriage age for girls dropped to 9–13 (with guardian and court approval). Compulsory hijab was enforced and everyday freedoms vanished. Even something ordinary like Owning a pet dog became haram(forbidden), under the regime’s rules, dogs are ritually impure, and dog-walking is banned in many cities.
Many Iranians spent the rest of their lives under a system they never thought possible.
I tell you because I lived this, I watched this, I felt this.
Don’t make the same mistake of thinking “it can’t happen here.” The warning signs are visible, yet too many still refuse to see them.
Keeping destroying the hedges that give you the protection you enjoy today. One day, it'll be gone...
LoL. What is this? Are they doing it in the name of their religion?
I used to have debates on here with my guy. People just isolate the many Christian majority nations that are fucked up or have the same struggles. America and Europe are the only comp they use.
Latin America is very Christian. El Salvador before Bukele got there was not dealing with Muslim gangs lol
Those drug dealers in Colombia and Mexico go to church so are they any destructive? You people are unreal
How na.... All these comparisons...
I don't really know much about Akwa Ibom or Calabar , but let me speak on behalf of my Igbo people.
We Igbos don't really believe in buying cooked food. We prefer to prepare our own meals.
One reason I think the Yorubas have thrived more in the food business is that they are more accustomed to buying prepared food rather than always cooking at home.
Growing up, our Yoruba neighbours would give their children ₦20 every morning to buy food before going to school. Our parents, on the other hand, rarely did that. They made sure we had food prepared at home before leaving for school.
Years ago, if you opened a commercial food business in the East, you might struggle to make sales because people weren't accustomed to buying cooked food. Almost everyone prepared their own meals at home.
So, I think this difference in food culture is one of the reasons the Yorubas gained an advantage in the food business.

Some dey online dey drag @Jack_ng01 bitterly while my guy dey go about him assignment on a PJ.
This life no balance sha 😂
Your positions don't align sha.
They've been promising you people VP and "your turn" at presidency since when ? Una never learn be that
Why bother about him? Is he the only Igbo politician? The others aren't good enough to be VP? Smh
You guys are funny. Every election cycle, they promise SE presidency if only they'll "align". And you people lap it up.. Every damn time.... LOL
How many CNG stations do you have? Why has CNG not been globally adopted?
Nigerian intellectuals will always reject evidence that's contrary to their dogma.
That's why they always fail this country.
CNG is cheaper than fuel but the public transport people refused to reduce their own fares because they see it as their own opportunity to do what Dangote has been doing to be a billionaire.
What's that?
Get subsidised input in a ring-fenced but then refuse to pass that réduction to the populace.
CNG people will claim union solidarity with their diesel and petrol using counterparts.
Dangote and his friends will claim patriotism
Rice farmers will claim maximizing of return on investments.
Car assemblers will claim cost of doing business/electricity.
The result is the same.
That is minus the part where the drivers will simply form a cabal and ferry our petrol across the border.
Or the marketers register 2 thousand people as public transporters to collect subsidy then still sell at non subsidy prices in a sister station.
But the Nigerian intellectual that feels he's only job is to be contrarian?
Naaah

It was a proud moment yesterday at the 2026 Alex Otti Foundation Scholarship Banquet, held at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia. We welcomed and celebrated 81 exceptional young scholars who have joined our scholarship programme, and recognised six outstanding beneficiaries who graduated with First-Class Honours.
In recognition of their remarkable achievement, I presented each of the six First-Class graduates with a reward of ₦500,000, and challenged all our scholars to pursue excellence with discipline, humility, and commitment.
As part of our continuing investment in education and human capital development, I also announced an increase in the annual Alex Otti Foundation scholarship award from ₦250,000 to ₦350,000 per beneficiary, and directed that the new award be extended to all current scholars still in school.
Since 2019, the Foundation has supported hundreds of deserving young people through a transparent and strictly merit-based scholarship programme. Importantly, the Foundation’s activities are independent of politics, and its objective will outlive my political career. Our belief remains unchanged: education is one of the most powerful tools for overcoming poverty, expanding opportunities, and building a prosperous society.
I congratulate our scholars and encourage them to remain focused, grateful, and committed to making a positive difference in the world. The future belongs to those who prepare for it. I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Executive Director of the Foundation, Mr. Nnanna Chidiebere, his dedicated team, and the panelists for the excellent work they have done in sustaining this vision.
LOL... Old time Christians had crisis of faith too. Mandy questioned God. Many cried, wailed and all that... God isn't afraid of that... Peter betrayed him 3 times...
So, he couldn't approve because they are Yoruba's and from his church but he could fill up with Muslims?
Lol
