This is why I was shocked that there were even healthcare professionals who were joining banger boys to deride female medics in Nigeria.
Women are outnumbering men in the profession worldwide. It's now the norm for the best graduating student to be female, and they outperform men in most exams.
So it is a shame that despite all of that, we are still having regressive opinions like that being the norm amongst been the well-educated. Look at what we are seeing with the female pilot on the TL. People are letting their bigotry take over every aspect of their rational thinking.

There was a time my business crashed, and I had to start all over again. I was deeply in debt. In fact, the situation took away my peace of mind. Back then, N1 million was serious money .
But people had no idea what I was going through. All they saw was a guy who owned a car, lived in a three bedroom apartment and didn’t appear to be buying things on credit. From the outside, everything looked fine. But only I knew the battles I was fighting privately.
Let me tell you something that happened during that period.
One particular day, after sorting out some household expenses and paying other bills, I had just N10k left on me.
I was leaving the farm. Of course, whenever I left, I usually dropped something for my staff. That day, I gave them N3k and told them to use it to buy Fanta.
Before I got to the junction, some Omo onile boys stopped me to ask for money. These boys usually served as extra security around the area, and I often needed their services, so I gave them N2k
I continued my journey home.
When I got to my street, a married woman flagged me down. I was already worried about my own problems and honestly didn’t have the strength for any conversation, so I pretended not to see her.
But she started running after my car. At that point, I realised it must be something important, so I stopped.
She was a married woman with children. Long story short, she asked if I could lend her N5k until the end of the month.
I was shocked.
I remember thinking to myself, “So this woman’s problem is just N5,000? If only she knew that my own problems were running into millions.”
But then she explained that she needed the money to buy food for her children.
My heart melted.
I thought about it for a moment. After all, I still had something to eat at home. So I gave her the N5k
I got home, took a shower and lay down on the sofa, thinking about how I was going to survive. My debts were staring me in the face, and I honestly didn’t know where the next breakthrough would come from.
Suddenly, my phone beeped.
I thought it was one of those usual MTN messages, so I didn’t bother checking immediately. But out of curiosity, I eventually picked up my phone.
Omo!
I saw a bank alert of N5 million.
The sender’s name wasn’t familiar, and I wasn’t expecting money from anybody.
Different thoughts started running through my head.
Could this be a mistake? Should I transfer the money to another account? Should I contact my bank?
I dropped my phone, picked it up again and decided to check my banking app to confirm whether the money was actually there.
Mehn! The balance was real.
I told myself I would wait for 30 minutes. If the money wasn’t reversed and nobody called me, I would withdraw at least N200k first. After all, case na settlement! 😂
Then my phone rang……..👇🏼

I will vote Peter Obi not because he will make Nigeria America overnight, but because he is the only one who will not steal what is left. He will not buy a new presidential jet while we are hungry. That is why I stand with Peter Obi. New Nigeria is POssible.
Nigeria must be OK

DSS Releases Four Suspected IPOB Members, Awards Them ₦20 Million Compensation
The Department of State Services (DSS) has released four individuals previously arrested over alleged links to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), approving an initial ₦20 million compensation for them.
The suspects, identified as Emele Uduma Ibe, Berefgagha Appah, Ondokeyilemi Aggry and Oyeinmokebebeton Aggry, were arrested in May 2022 in Sampou and Akeddei communities in Bayelsa State.
Security sources disclosed that investigations revealed the four had been deceived into believing they would receive monthly payments of ₦100,000 under the Federal Government’s Amnesty Programme. They were reportedly recruited by IPOB members who are currently standing trial.
Following their clearance, DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, approved ₦5 million for each individual, bringing the total compensation to ₦20 million. The Service will also provide them with medical and psychological support.
Their lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, commended the DSS leadership for its commitment to human rights and national security, while one of the released suspects, Ibe, described the development as the happiest day of his life.
He said the experience had taught him an important lesson which he intended to share with others.

Una no sabi Sarah Ibrahim. She attended Air Force Primary and Secondary School in Ikeja, Lagos. I’m fortunate enough to be close to some of her friends from school, and they told me she's the last person Obi should trust. They even laughed when they saw her moving around with Obi. According to them, she could never be trusted. Back in the barracks, she was known for being a mischievous double dealer and constantly getting into trouble.
I told Harry all of this months ago and warned him that Sarah was a mole.

Men are creating anti-feminist accounts with pictures of women to pander to men in order to scam them😂😂😂
Lying as usual. Is the truth strange to you?
Sally Kenneth Dadzie retweeted
The fact these people have no qualms with lying brazenly is what really baffles me mehn.
Because if you can lie this brazenly, then you can as well kill someone you feel justified to kill.
It's scary.
When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

When he ran for senate/governor, GCI Old Boys Association denounced his claim to have graduated from the school. They asked Baba to point out his classmates from the set he claimed to have graduated with. By the time Baba would run again, he removed GCI from his nomination form.

Americans don't use WhatsApp because of a decision Apple made in 2013. We only know about it because the emails came out in court, and the whole thing came down to keeping your kids off Android.
It started with Eddy Cue, the guy who runs Apple's services. That April he emailed the team saying Apple really needed to put iMessage on Android. Google was reportedly trying to buy WhatsApp for $1 billion at the time, and Cue's pitch was that Apple already had the best messaging app, so why not make it the one the whole world used.
Craig Federighi, Apple's software chief, shut it down.
He asked how Apple was supposed to get Android users to leave WhatsApp when they didn't even have iPhone friends. So back in 2013, the guy running iPhone software was basically admitting WhatsApp already owned everybody who didn't have an iPhone. Then he got to what he was actually worried about. iMessage on Android would remove "an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones."
Phil Schiller, Apple's longtime marketing boss, backed him up in another email thread in 2016, writing that putting iMessage on Android would hurt Apple more than help it. None of this was public until Epic sued Apple and the emails got pulled into evidence in 2021.
Now look at what that does to WhatsApp. The entire reason WhatsApp exists is that it works on any phone, so it wins wherever group chats are a mix of iPhones and Androids. Apple went the other direction on purpose. For years, every Android user in an American group chat showed up as a green bubble and their videos came through blurry, and the fix everybody landed on was buying another iPhone.
Tim Cook pretty much said this out loud in 2022. A reporter at a conference told him he couldn't send videos to his mom because she had an Android, and Cook told him to buy his mom an iPhone.
And it worked about as well as anything Apple has ever done. Nearly 9 in 10 American teenagers own an iPhone, and iPhones were 75% of phones sold at the big three US carriers in early 2026. If almost everyone you text has the same phone, an app whose whole selling point is working across phones has nothing to offer you.
Worldwide, Apple only sells about 1 in 5 phones. Most of the world's group chats stayed mixed, so they ended up on the one app that ran on everything, and WhatsApp blew past 3 billion users. Meta says more than 100 million Americans use it now too.
Apple finally added RCS texting with Android in 2024 and turned on encryption for it this May, and they still kept those messages green.
Apple basically let WhatsApp have the rest of the planet so it could keep American teenagers.

There’s nobody, not one person, home and abroad that went to school, at any level, with the President of the most populous black nation in the world.
Jacob wasn't a good person. He did his brother dirty, even when Esau went looking for him so many years later to reconcile, even after God renamed him to Israel. I think his cunning ways came from his mom's side because his uncle, like the mom, was also deceptive.

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.
She is totally wrong, and this is why these people with microphones irritate me. Jesus told people that there's no marriage in heaven, so why is there so much spiritual importance on something that has no eternal value? Nobody came into this world married

There are old people that have been sleeping around PenCom in Wuse. They have been protesting for their pensions. So they sleep on concrete pavements, and on soil under the tree to wake up and protest the next day. Nigeria will strip you of dignity to the very end.

This reminds me of the time i was doing my NYSC in kano state. I was travelling from Bata to kazure to meet someone during Ramadan.
While waiting at the bus stop, i got thirsty and I went to one of the provision shops at bata and bought a bottle of water to drink. I totally forgot it was ramandan and i started drinking it right there at the bus stop. That is how i hear a hot slap from back. Before i knew it i got another one from my face. I pose for a fight but someone intervene because he noticed i was wearing my khaki trouser. That is how i was saved from the mobs who are ready to kill me because i feel thirsty and wanted to drink water in a very hot weather of kano.
Muslims need to stop this nonsense. You don't owe anyone respect. Your religion is not better than others and shouldn't affect others. Respect is reciprocal. This is barbaric.
