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!!! ✌️

🚨🗣️ Mourinho: “Cristiano Ronaldo? His decision must be respected, and I do respect it.
He hasn’t ended his career, those who know him are aware that he still has goals, and the only thing I would wish for is that his retirement as a player had unfolded differently than it did yesterday.
As for whether I see him becoming a coach, I’m not sure what to say. It’s still too early.”

Not a single accolade to himself, not a single talk about debate being settled.. it’s all about sacrifice to the national team
I know my goat 🐐 and his name is Cristano!!!!

It might sound ridiculous but I have only ever had 2 role models in my life: my father and Cristiano Ronaldo. Watching the latter has taught me how to never be comfortable with mediocrity, to work hard even when things look bleak, to stand up after every fall, to keep forging my path without caring about being liked, to never give up in the face of personal loss, to have unshakeable self-belief bordering on delusion because if you cannot bet on yourself, who will?

It’s not just a chapter—it’s history you’ve shaped. You're an icon to the entire world, not just Portugal.
Portugal is in your heart, and you are in the hearts of the world. A page has turned, but there is still history left for us to write together at your home, AlNassr. 💛❤️

The Nets ran the SAME PLAY for MPJ 5 straight times in the 4th quarter. Scored every single time.
Three straight 3s for Michael Porter Jr led to a triple team and a wide open layup for a teammate
- 26 points
- 10 rebounds

Go to any football pitch in the world this evening. A dusty field in Lagos. A beach in Rio. A cage pitch in London. A narrow street in Cairo, Jakarta or Lima, with two stones and/or a stack of blocks for goalposts
Wait for a free kick.
You will probably see a boy step back, plant his feet wide apart, puff out his chest, take a deep breath and stare at the ball like it owes him money.
You know exactly who he is copying.
Cristiano Ronaldo retired from international football today. 23 years with Portugal. 146 goals in 234 games, more than any man in history. And I promise you, that boy on the street doesn't know half of those numbers. He doesn't need to. He knows the stance. He knows the "Siuuu." He knows the man. That's enough.
That is what I want to talk about today. Not what Ronaldo did for Portugal. What he did for the boy watching from thousands of kilometres away.
Think about it. Some of the people reading this were children when Ronaldo made his Portugal debut in 2003. Some weren't even born. For an entire generation, he has always been there. Every summer tournament, every big night, every argument about who is the greatest. Football without Ronaldo is something millions of fans have simply never known.
Every young player knows the story by now. The skinny boy from Madeira, laughed at for his accent in Lisbon. The boy who stayed behind after training. The one who did sit-ups in his room at night. The ice baths, the diet, the gym when everyone else had gone home. Whether every detail of that story is true or not, the lesson landed in every corner of the world: talent alone is not enough. You have to outwork everybody.
And he kept proving it. He was still scoring for his country at 40, still winning a Nations League final at 40. Players are supposed to fade by 33. He made "old" look like a choice.
It went beyond the pitch too. A generation learned from him that a footballer can be a brand. That your body is your business. That how you speak, how you dress and how you carry yourself matters as much as your first touch. He became the first person in the world to reach one billion followers across social media. One billion. That is not a fanbase. That is a planet.
Now, let me be honest with you. Not every boy copying the free kick stance will become a professional. Most won't. But many of them will take something from him that lasts longer than football. Discipline. Self-belief. Showing up every day, even when nobody is watching.
That is a legacy you can't count in goals.
So to every boy standing with his legs apart before a free kick this evening, in Lagos, in Rio, in London or anywhere else, keep doing it. Just remember the part of the story that happened when the cameras were off.
Obrigado, Cristiano.

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. 🐐👏🏾
