When Hilda Baci stood for days to put Nigeria on the world map, the entire South stood still, cheered her on, and carried her to victory on the wings of massive support. Today, our very own brother from the North, Abdulkadir Basari, is at MAAUN Kano, pushing through a grueling 120-hour non-stop sewing marathon to break a Guinness World Record—not just for fame, but to sew uniforms for less-privileged kids! Why is Arewa so silent? We must learn to celebrate and lift our own champions. Let’s make some noise for him! 🧵

House hunting tip: Don’t inspect only the rooms they open. Ask to see the tank, the meter, and the back of the house.

The allegations made by that young man against Sen. Shehu Buba is very disturbing. Therefore, I am calling on the Senate, the DSS, & the Military to invite him for questioning because this is a national issue that demands thorough investigations for the sake of National Security.

WHY IS THE WORLD SILENT ABOUT THE SUFFERING OF OUR CHILDREN I ask this question today with tears in my heart as a father, as a pastor, and as a voice crying out for the persecuted Christians of Nigeria Success is only six years old Just six years At an age when this little girl should be running around with her friends, going to school, laughing with her mother and dreaming about her future, she is instead carrying wounds and memories that no child should ever have to carry When armed militants attacked her Christian community in Kaduna, Nigeria, nine people were reportedly killed As Success and her mother ran for their lives, trying desperately to escape the gunfire, this innocent little girl was shot twice Once in the back And once in the foot Can you imagine the pain Can you imagine the fear in the heart of a six year old child hearing gunshots while running for her life Can you imagine a mother watching her little daughter being wounded while knowing there was nothing she could do to stop the bullets Her injuries were so severe that doctors had to remove part of her ankle bone during emergency surgery Today, Success is still fighting to recover She needs reconstructive ankle surgery and a skin graft to have the best chance of walking normally again My heart breaks when I look at this child I keep asking myself Why should a six year old child have to suffer like this Why should she know the meaning of gunshots before she even understands the meaning of life Why should children be paying the price for violence they did not create Why is the world silent Why are the tears of Nigerian children not receiving the attention they deserve How many more children must be wounded How many more children must become orphans How many more families must bury their loved ones How many more innocent lives must be destroyed before the world says enough is enough The Bible says in Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute Today I am speaking for Success I am speaking for the children who cannot speak for themselves I am speaking for mothers who have watched their children suffer I am speaking for families who have buried their loved ones in silence And I am asking the world not to look away Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven Look at Success She is somebody's daughter She is somebody's precious child She has dreams She has a future She has a life worth protecting She did not choose violence She did not choose this suffering She only tried to survive Now she needs help to walk again As Rev Ezekiel Dachomo, I appeal to the conscience of humanity Please do not allow the suffering of these children to become another forgotten story Let us pray for Success Let us pray for her mother Let us pray for every wounded child Let us pray for the families who have lost loved ones And let us pray for Nigeria Because when a six year old child suffers like this, humanity itself must stop and ask What have we become May the Lord heal Success May God restore her strength May God provide the treatment she needs And may the day come when this little girl can walk, run and play again without pain How long, O Lord How long will innocent children continue to suffer How long before the world hears their cries Rev Ezekiel Dachomo

GO BEK TO YOUR COUNTRY. We currently have over 400 Nigerians in South African prisons. Please @NigeriaMFA @Ojukwu_Bianca what happens to them? Where does their fate lies, and what hope do they have? I got a DM this morning that Nigerians in South African prisons are being threatened, tortured and marginalized by South African prison wardens and fellow inmates, in the latest wave of extreme xenophobic attacks against black African foreigners. Some of these Nigerian inmates are basically surviving prison life from support they get from their Nigerian relatives in South Africa, friends and the Nigerian community over there. But all of that is no longer possible because Nigerians are being hunted all across South Africa like Animals. They no longer feel safe to go out or visit government buildings including the prisons. Many have left the country, abandoning family, friends and fellow citizens in prison to their fate. At this moment our brothers and sisters in prison need help. They have threatened to unalive all Nigerians in their jail through any means possible if the South African government don't send them back to Nigeria. They are currently living in fear, because the South African government can not guarantee their safety in prison, and the prison wardens are in support of the xenophobic attacks. Nigerian government should do something immediately. These people are still Nigerians irrespective of their current prison incarceration. Moreover, some of them might be innocent. Please retweet to help our brothers.

19 days left for PVC registration, transfer or collection to end, yet if you go round INEC offices nationwide is it still same old story of no network, server is down, network failure, or just one computer being used to serve as many as 500 persons. Or office closure.

Below are the names and ages of the innocent students that were kidnapped in Oyo state by Fulani terrorists. 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭 For those who don't know, the youngest among them is a two year old girl who doesn't know her left from right outside eating biscuit and licking sweet. The only crime these kids committed was being born in Nigeria, a country with irresponsible leaders. These students were Kidnapped with only their uniform on them, and had been subjected to cold and mosquito bites deep in the forest for some days now. As i type this post, majority of these kids are currently sick, traumatized, hungry and suffering. They all witnessed the beheading of their beloved teacher, and some of these abducted teachers are currently being subjected to daily torture by these kidnappers. In a sane country, all political activities currently ongoing in the country should have been put on hold until these kids are rescued, treated, and reunited with their families. But such can never happen in Nigeria. Not under the watch of Tinubu and his APC government. These kids are sick, starving, suffering and dying, yet everywhere is quiet as if nothing is happening. Some of them are siblings that are supposed to look out for each other, but they are all at the mercy of gun wilding heartless kidnappers. What will be going on currently in the mind of 4 year old Soliu Salami, when he sees 3 year old Sikiru Salami crying. What will be going on in the mind of 9 year old Tosin Abadi, when 5 year old Elizabeth will be crying for food. How can Mary Gabriel and Jacob Gabriel look out for one another in captivity? We are busy playing politics when the pride of our nation are languishing in kidnappers den. I weep for this country as my heart is totally shattered 💔💔😭😭😭😭 Tag every government handle you know on twitter to this post, tag every celebrity you know to this post, tag every influencer you know to this post. This is not the time for politics. The lives of innocent kids are about to be wasted to hunger, starvation, sickness, cold and mosquitos in captivity. As for the government, now is not the time for your useless promises of bringing perpetrators to book. We need action, and we need action fast. These heartless monsters need to be apprehended and summarily executed in public. They deserve no trial or perdon. They are pure illustration of evil. Note; That video making the rounds on social media of some blind folded person's on school uniforms being tortured, are not that of the Oyo state kidnaped students. Kindly disregard as fake news. The students are still in captivity, as some of them are currently sick, but they are not being tortured. Christianah Akanbi – 2 years Sikiru Salami – 3 years Soliu Salami – 4 years Abdulsalam Toyib – 4 years Emmanuel Oyedele – 4 years Idowu Taiwo – 4 years Waliya Bello – 4 years Testimony Jacob – 5 years Deborah Adebowale – 5 years Muiz Aliyu – 5 years Elizabeth Abadi – 5 years Pius Stephen – 5 years Jomiloju Ogunlola – 6 years Mary Gabriel – 6 years Samuel Oyedele – 7 years Juwon Sunday – 7 years Kehinde Kaosara – 7 years Sewa Seyi – 7 years Lydia Olohunloluwa – 7 years Ahmed Aliyu – 7 years Habidat Ayanwale – 7 years Ahmed Ramoni – 8 years Ojo Joseph – 8 years Lydia Adewole – 8 years Damilare Oderinde – 8 years Balkis Ayanwale – 8 years Agune Noah – 8 years Tosin Abadi – 9 years Aisha Oguntowo – 10 years Asa David – 10 years Shuaibu Aliyu – 10 years Lege Taiwo – 12 years Joshua Adeleke – 13 years Hassan Azeez – 14 years Hannah Ojo – 14 years Fatimo Jimoh – 15 years Baraka Abioye – 16 years Jacob Gabriel –

He was just a teacher. He only wanted to teach and impart knowledge into his pupils. He was kidnapped, He was tied up and made to beg. He begged for his life in tears. He was thrown on the floor. And his head was brutally cut off. An action by heartless barbaric animals who serve a bloodsucking demonic god. These are the terrorists that the government calls their “brothers”. We should wake up everyday as a country and this picture should haunt us all.

It is with a heavy heart that I have learned of yet another horrific attack yesterday by terrorists on the community of Ngoshe in Borno State, which targeted not only a military base but also an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp, and sadly claimed the lives of innocent civilians and soldiers, many of whom are still missing. I watched several videos of this tragedy with deep horror. Once again we are confronted with the painful reality of the daily suffering that far too many Nigerians are forced to endure. This is unacceptable. How long will Nigerians continue to bear the consequences of poor leadership and mismanagement? How many more lives must be lost before decisive action is taken to secure our communities, protect the vulnerable, and dismantle the structures of these insurgents? While Nigerians are slaughtered daily by terrorists, what is more troubling is that amid these daily killings, our political leaders are preoccupied with selfish schemings on how to steal, grab and run away with the next election cycle, and keep us in insecurity, poverty and underdevelopment. To the families who have lost loved ones, to the children now displaced, and to the communities living in fear, I stand with you in grief and in resolve. Your pain is Nigeria’s pain. Your safety and dignity must be the priority of any government that claims to serve the people. Nigeria deserves a leadership that values human life above all else. Our nation is stronger than the terror that threatens it. But we cannot remain silent, and we cannot accept inaction. We must act now, for today’s victims, for tomorrow’s children, and for the Nigeria we all deserve. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I miss my wife’s face every single day as a blind person🥹. The last time I saw my wife’s face, the faces of my loved ones and friends was seven years ago when I became blind as a result of an armed robber that shot me in the face. Sometimes I feel her face with my hands to create a perfect picture in my head, but it can never be compared to being able to see her with my eyes. but I’m grateful to God that I was able to see her beautiful face for several years before I became blind. It’s our wedding anniversary month and we will be six years married by January 31. So I say to you all, value your eyes, look your loved ones in the face and tell them how beautiful and handsome they are and how much you love them. Travel if you can and see the beauty and colours of the world with them. for someone like me, all I can see is black and ever since I travelled from Nigeria to Canada, all I can hear is new accents, the new sound of birds and life around me. So if you can take a moment to just say God, I’m grateful for my eyes and find a place in your heart to pray for me to see again.🙏
