If you come into my home to start telling me and my family what to eat and the time to eat, it thus, mean that you are after our lives. As the head of the family, I will stand up and deal with you mercilessly.
This isn't about food! It's about self preservation

I posted this in December 2020. Facebook reminded me today. And I still stan! It is still my stance!
Dear Woman,
You look at other Women whose journeys have been straight and you condemn yourself because yours have been crooked...
Maybe because Mary, Rebecca, Rachel and other clean Women in The Bible are the ones we're trained to be like.
Then, boom, life happens, throws us jabs and we can't just be "clean"! So it makes you feel defeated, condemned.
But do you know the story of Rahab the harlot? Woman at the well who married many times whom Jesus defied tradition and gisted with? Tamar, who "re-arranged" her own journey? Ruth with strategy? Mary Magdalene who had evil spirit, Jesus's friend? Why don't you revisit the stories of these "crooked" Women again?
These Women, because of the culture and situation of their days, were stigmatised, vilified, despised, isolated, mocked, maybe as you are experiencing right now, but the common thing with all of them is the QUEST TO PLEASE THE ALMIGHTY AND WALK IN HIS WAYS. They BECAME so. They didn't wait for someone to "tap anointing" from.👀 They feared GOD and lived FAITHFULLY, wanted better and got "expo" of The Spirit on how to rewrite their stories!
And their stories changed! Beautifully. They became Women that matter, inspiration. Those who mocked them, what are their names? But these Women are still known, centuries later. Legends, I stan!✊
Your journey is different, face and own it, please! Don't waste the treasures in your pain! I'm not saying suffering is good. No, it s not. And not everyone will suffer. But you're suffering already?🤷. Use it to draw strength and BE BETTER.
You're not what happened to you. Maybe it's your mistake sef, mourn it if you want but learn from it, use it for growth! Don't waste your pain. Channel it towards BECOMING better.
It's not easy o but will you allow the storm of life to sink your boat when the shore to glory is near? I'm sure Rahab and Tamar, my favorites, had fear but acted fearlessly!
Stop being bitter towards that Woman whose journey is straight, let her enjoy her life. It's okay for life to be sweet!
Make better your own journey. You're not your past! BEAUTY IS IN IT ALL!
My Sister, my kind, I wish you strength and courage. Mo lọv yín, gan. 😊
#Yóòdáa! ❤️

32 states have officially approved state police.
What Nigeria has wanted for 30 years.
Tinubu has achieved in 3 years.
Welcome, state police!
It’s time for governors to take responsibility for security in their states.
Thank you, President Tinubu.
We’re grateful for this!

Nigeria’s proposed $21.7 billion external financing plan is designed to fund investments across 10 priority sectors over an estimated five-year period, with $10.6 billion earmarked for transportation infrastructure, including the Sokoto–Badagry Highway, Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and Kano–Kaduna rail project. Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele clarified that the plan does not mean the entire amount has already been borrowed or will necessarily be drawn down in full.
The government also highlighted social and infrastructure interventions, including over ₦600 billion in cash transfers to more than 10 million households, subsidised single-digit-interest loans for over 800,000 MSMEs, and plans to expand electricity transmission capacity from 5,000MW to about 19,000MW within two years. Meanwhile, the Federal Executive Council approved road projects valued at approximately ₦594.49 billion, alongside efforts to clear more than 300 containers of power equipment stranded at Nigerian ports.

Mr President has given a practical solution to the longstanding problem of Plateau security. So, nobody from Plateau has any reason to vote for any other person apart from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
