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!!! ✌️

Good news! Emmanuela and Jason Ngaha have started school today at Rainbow Bridge College, Enugu.
We have restored happiness and hope to their lives.
They will achieve greatness, and the world will celebrate them someday.
I was heartbroken to learn about these students today.
Their dad had both kidneys fail and no one could fund their education. They were forced to drop out of school in December last year.
Their names are Emmanuella Ngaha and Jason Ngaha. They came by themselves from Owerri to Enugu this morning to attend our 2-week intensive bootcamp.
They were both high-flying students at Ambassador College, Ota. The boy was the best in Maths and Chemistry in SS1, and the girl has won so many national awards.
Today they are out of school with no hope of continuing.
They decided to use their last ₦24,000 to take a bus to Enugu to attend the bootcamp.
Unfortunately, this morning they were defrauded of the ₦24,000, which left them with no option but to beg for transport support until someone helped them.
A lot of young, bright children are going through a lot that is beyond their control.
We can’t let these bright stars lose their shine because of challenges beyond their control.

I honestly don’t know how far this post will go, but I need to try.
I have ₦600,000 left to pay from a ₦1.8m debt that came from a business deal that went badly. I’ve already paid ₦1.2m, sold properties and sacrificed almost everything valuable I had to get to this point.
The ₦600k is due by Saturday, and my house rent is also due soon. I’m trying to raise about ₦1m to clear the debt, sort out my rent and get back on my feet.
I’m not asking anyone to give me ₦1m.
I’m asking you to patronize our business.
We deal in iPhones, laptops, UK-used gadgets, brand-new phones, active & non-active devices, game consoles, speakers and accessories.
For the next few days, I’m crashing our prices and forfeiting a large part of my profit to raise the money I need.
You will hardly find these offers anywhere else. Give me a chance to prove it.
📍 15, Adepele Street, Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos.
Come into the store, inspect and test whatever you want before payment. We also deliver nationwide.
I’ll be posting the available gadgets and prices. If you need an iPhone, laptop, PS5, speaker, smartwatch, charger or any gadget, please consider buying from us.
And if you don’t need anything, please repost.
You may not be able to give me money, but your repost could put this in front of someone who needs what I sell.
I’m not looking for a handout.
I’m asking for an opportunity to sell.
Please patronize us.
Please refer someone.
Please repost.
Give me a chance to work my way out of this.
Thank you. 🙏

As a network infrastructure engineer, I experienced this exact backend anomaly. My 800GB @MTNNG yearly plan was wiped out in just 53 days. I monitored the granular IPDR logs there was zero local hardware output or traffic to justify a depletion of that scale.
I currently have an unresolved petition with the @ConsumersNCC regarding this exact timeline. @MTNNG relies on blaming "background apps," but they refuse to provide forensic, server side transparency. I am ready to share my technical logs and correspondence to support this collective push for accountability.
Dear @MTNNG I FINALLY HAVE A RESPONSE FOR YOU
After a thorough review and analysis of your response to my earlier sent mail and the documents attached thereto, including an independent assessment by a number of data experts, and having allowed eight (8) days from the date of receipt of your correspondence for the materials provided to be properly scrutinised, I have now concluded my review.
My formal response to your correspondence has accordingly been sent to your email, with the relevant authorities previously copied into this matter by you duly retained in copy @NgComCommission and @fccpcnigeria
For the avoidance of doubt, this Twitter post is also part of my response to MTN’s correspondence. My decision to communicate publicly on the matter does not derogate from, replace or constitute a waiver of my formal written response. Rather, it is an additional exercise of my right to publicly communicate my experience and position concerning a matter that is already the subject of a formal complaint and regulatory engagement.
All rights and remedies available to me remain expressly reserved.

Nzerem Blessing Kamsiriyochukwu just arrived in Enugu for the 2-week bootcamp.
In 2 weeks we will activate the genius in her.
She will make her mother proud and will achieve greatness here on earth.
Something happened today in Imo State that touched me deeply. Her name is Nzerem Blessing Kamsiriyochukwu and her mother sells corn on the streets in Owerri.
She is in JSS 3 and heard about the 2-week technology bootcamp with NITDA that we will be having in Enugu starting on Monday.
We told them we couldn’t accept students from states outside Enugu because we don’t want to cater to the logistics for those outside Enugu.
Her mom pleaded and gave her all she had (₦120,000) to move to Enugu from tomorrow for 2 weeks and join her peers to get the training.
It’s so touching to see her mom sacrifice everything just for her daughter to get an education.
She said she would rather stay hungry but will give her daughter every opportunity to get educated.
This is the spirit that defines us.

WAEC Nigeria is calling out aggrieved parents, affected schools, and student content creators.
The current leadership is a menace.
This is the same organization that has been forcing students to write exams at midnight for 2 straight years.
What a terrible and irresponsible organization.
