The Scales 🤳⚖️™️

  In many religious circles, a recurring pattern emerges—people elevate their spiritual leaders to an almost untouchable status. They see them as infallible, treating their words as absolute truth and sometimes even prioritizing them over personal relationships. In extreme cases, this devotion leads people to distance themselves from family and friends who don’t share the same level of admiration for these leaders. This phenomenon is more widespread than we often acknowledge. Respecting spiritual leaders is important. They offer guidance, provide encouragement, and often play a crucial role in personal growth. However, there’s a fine line between respecting someone and placing them on a pedestal where they are beyond reproach. No matter how knowledgeable or charismatic a person is, they are still human—capable of making mistakes, having flaws, and experiencing personal struggles. A title, whether it be ‘pastor,’ ‘prophet,’ ‘imam,’ or ‘spiritual father,’ does not make someone sup...

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and one of its largest economies, has long been hijacked by political corruption and elite dominance. Over the years, a small group of powerful individuals has transformed the country’s political landscape into a cartel-like network—where power, resources, and decision-making are controlled by a select few for personal gain. Much like a business cartel that stifles competition and monopolizes industries, Nigeria’s political system is dominated by a handful of families, former military rulers, business tycoons, and traditional elites. This grip on power became even stronger after the return to democracy in 1999, as these elites merged their interests to control governance. They act as kingmakers, deciding who gets elected—from local government councils to the presidency. Instead of allowing true democratic competition, they manipulate the system to ensure only their loyalists rise to power. They fund campaigns, control party structures, and influen...

Nothing unsettles someone who mistreated you more than seeing you happy, thriving, and completely unbothered by their absence. Especially if they once believed you couldn’t live without them or assumed they were too important in your life to be replaced. People who have wronged you often keep tabs on you, even from a distance. They secretly wonder how you’re doing, whether you’ve moved on, and if their departure or betrayal has left you broken. But here’s the truth: the best revenge isn’t anger or bitterness—it’s living well. Your happiness, success, and inner peace are the ultimate proof that they never had the control over you they once thought they did. When someone has hurt you, their deepest fear isn’t your retaliation; it’s your indifference. It’s realizing that their presence—or absence—was never as crucial as they imagined. The moment they see you smiling, glowing, and growing without them, they’re forced to confront the harsh truth: they never had the power they assumed they ...

Dear Mama Africa, Your sons and daughters are being torn apart over and over again by the curse of tribalism. One of the greatest afflictions that has plagued our beloved continent for generations is this very division. While many point fingers at external forces, the painful truth remains: our biggest enemy is ourselves—our refusal to unite beyond ethnic lines. From politics to employment, from social interactions to national development, tribal identity dictates opportunities, alliances, and even conflicts. It has fueled civil wars, political instability, and stagnation across the land. Instead of building bridges, we have erected walls between ourselves, choosing division over unity, prejudice over progress. Why do we continue to see ourselves as Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Zulu, Hutus, Tutsis, Twa, Luba, Mongo, Kongo, Xhosa, Kikuyu, Shona, or Amhara before we see ourselves as Africans? Why do we argue over which ethnic group should lead, rather than focusing on competence, vision, and in...

  For too long, Africa has been bleeding—wounded by wars that serve no purpose for the people but only feed the egos of those in power. Our history is stained with conflicts over land, resources, and tribal differences, yet what has truly changed? More poverty. More division. A continent that remains exploited—by those outside and, worse, by those within. But we must ask ourselves: How long will we allow history to repeat itself? Look at Europe, America or Gulf countries. Once, they were torn apart by endless wars over borders, identity, and power. But today, they have learned from their past and built a union for collective progress. Meanwhile, in Africa, we remain trapped in old battles, manipulated into fighting one another while our resources are stolen, our futures dimmed, and our voices silenced. this unnecessary conflict has displaced over 40 millions of our People.   The truth is painful, but we must face it. Our elders, our politicians, our so-called leaders—they have...

  Life isn’t always as picture-perfect as the dazzling clips you scroll through on social media. You know those reels—people lounging effortlessly by the clearest turquoise waters in Barbados, the Maldives, or Zanzibar? They make it all seem like paradise on Earth, don’t they? But let’s face it: sometimes, reality has other plans, and it can hit you like an unexpected beach wave! 🌊😂 In the Reels vs. Reality: In the reels: The beaches look pristine, the water is calm and inviting, and the sand is so soft you’d think it’s powdered gold. In reality: You’re wading through patches of seaweed, stepping on sharp shells that make you yelp, and realizing the sand is so blistering hot, you’re practically dancing your way to the water. Oh, and don’t forget the sneaky seagulls eyeing your snacks! 🦅😅 In the reels: A fancy cocktail in hand, served by a waiter with a bright smile. Pure luxury, right? In reality: You just forked over $25 for what’s essentially coconut water with a tiny umb...
