Am still waiting till this very particular moment to see any blogger posts Verydarkblackman's Ratels environmental sanitation that took place on Saturday 29/11/2025. Do we really feel or think is that easy to organize people for such community service? Or do they always wait to post his controversial issue in their blogs? Or it could be that they didn't see it? But they could saw his fight with Mr Jollof on the plane. However, personally I can't sit here and pretend nothing happens without talking about it because my days as active rotaractor gave me primary knowledge of how difficult it is to organize human beings you know in assignment such as this talk more of ghost you don't even know or met, you only come across each other on social media. VDM is a legend, is an outstanding icon, his Ratels movement has moved from online to offline that shows he is a force to reckon with, I recall when he was challenge during chef Hilder Basi cocking competition gathering in Lagos, people said that VDM didn't comment on her efforts because VDM was jealous of the crowd she pulled that he VDM cannot pull such crowd. Fortunately the Ratels astronomical number that joyfully came to park dirty, DIRTY?? In the streets across Nigeria cities on the 29 November have answered those critics. Respect a man who sits in the corner of his room and made called and people honour it, funny enough not for any other thing but to come out to park dirty they didn't constituted and they willingly answered without expecting anything in return, no force and everyone joyously take part, are you kidding me? This is something our successive government has failed to achieve over the years. It's a new done, and history has been made, what is to come is bigger than what you have just witnessed, Ratels movement is a big, strong and reliable brand it will only get better and VDM is on another level and he is unstoppable the critics and haters can only work themselves off, his name has been placed on the horizon. Poor pikin don't get influence.

Is the issue on ground about party right now? We are talking about one uneducated lunatic trying to undermine our sovereignty, and some of you are still here dragging each other along religion affiliation, what a heck? I think it is time for us as people to rise above parties, tribes and religious and deal with the external aggression squarely. This is my stands for now. However, are we facing insecurity challenges yes, is our government doing enough to secure the lives of it citizens no this is the sad reality but there is no need for blame game for now, accusations and counter accusations will not help anyone at this point because the aggressors are good at psychological war fair to put you in disarray. Go and check how almighty Iran was able to recover from the covert operation that almost wipe out their entire leadership within 12hours and deal with US-Israel decisively in 12 days. Nigeria problem must be fixed by Nigerians not anybody else, no Messiah from anywhere else love you more than you love yourself.

A brief story about three Nigerian families:
The first family believed that the government would take care of everything for them because it's government responsibility, so they didn't think they needed to work at all.
The second family believed the government would take care of them, but they also had to participate in life a little to benefit from the support the government provides fully.
The third family concluded that they are responsible for their own future and that the government will do what it will do, but they won't wait around for the government to take care of them.
I think you all know how this story ends so that I won’t finish it.
Be like the third family and take control of your future before it’s too late.

I wish you all happy November

A date like this may come like every other day but in my case it comes with a heavy heart that has left an indelible marked in my heart, a day a real gem left this sinful world and a big vacuum was created permanently in my life, a day I realized that part of me was gone. My lovely father, my reliable friend, a mentor, a role model and a community servant per excellent. Daddy I can't stop thinking about you we surely missed you Dad and we love you but ALLAH love you more, may almighty ALLAH grant you entrance to jannatul firdaus, and give the children you left behind fortitude to bear your absence and ranked you among those ALLAH has accepted their good deeds and forgive their short comings. Allahumma Aameen 🙏 please kindly join me to pray for my beloved father and almighty ALLAH will also have mercy on you on your last day as you did in return.

I think it very imperative to say this at this point, first thing first I am not a politician, am a public, social/political commentator. I wrote my articles on things that interest me which I also feel the needs to share it among my audience local, national and international on politics, history, culture and sports. Written issues relating to individuals, tribes and religious, especially issues to do with women irrationality is totally out of bounds. Because I have an esteemed regards for them as such I don't talk about it except area where there is need to eulogized or save humanity. Secondly in all my choosing topics I go through research for facts findings to crave indulgence and get you a worth while reading pleasure, most times I stay all through the night just to ensure you get the right contents, no intentions whatsoever to hurt your feelings or your emotions because it is very essential to me except where there is conflicts of interest which is normal in human physiognomy, however you are free to argue with your keyboard in anywhere you feel there is discrepancies. Certainly any choosing topic of discussion is always within the ambit of the law and within the tenets of democracy, if you are one who sees every criticism against administration's failure to deliver promised made during electioneering campaign as hate to government in power or lyrics of oppositions just know you are delusional and you have no business in democratic setting. Democracy does not recognize the word love or hate, what it knows and recognizes is good governance, and welcome constructive criticism because that criticism alone reshape administrative focus, cohesion and stability of citizens social welfare, and it create an atmosphere for citizens to demand their right to health, security, education as well grants civil liberties to air their views and opinions when necessary, ask critical questions that demand critical answers on how they have been or will be govern this is what democracy entails not sycophancy but some setting ministers feel embarrassed when they faced with ethical questions and turn to professor in practice.🤣🤣 and some supporters who gain nothing screaming Tinubu till 2031 with increased tariff on the data or borrowed data and civil servants who received their salaries at the end of every month see it as favour and reasons to support the administration even if their salary doesn't meet their monthly requirements.

139 million Nigerians are living bellow poverty line despite president Tinubu's economic reforms according to world Bank report last week, what does this mean is that statistically over half of Nigeria population are living in abject poverty after the acclaimed economic reforms of Tinubu's administration, although APC at the federal level led by Mr taxes has came out in several media space to debunked this information from the world bank as usual, yes we expect them to do the damage control, claiming that the reforms has yielded success and the economy is doing well, claiming that price of fools and commodities has gone down. But my questions is how and where are the price gone down? How much was the prices of gari, rice, beans, yams and agbado before may 29 2023 and how much are they now? How much was the dollar to Naira exchange rate before may 29 2023 and how it is now? Save yourself the stress we no go school doesn't mean we no know the difference between sand and salt. Ironically 90% of the poverty stinky Nigerians who's life has been mortgaged with their borrowed data will come on social media space to defend their oppressors and tell you Tinubu till 2031. How does that change your status? In May 29 2023 Tinubu said removing fuel subsidy will enable his administration fixed dilapidated and rebuild new infrastructures across the country, two years after subsidy remover the only improvement in Nigeria today is debts increments to 150.4tri according to SAHARA reporters, with zero infrastructural service, insecurity on the high lost my cousin in my village in Edo state in April 2024 because of this administration security negligence. taxes increased nothing to show for it, inflation rate in the increase, renew hope is now a renewed hopelessness, even the rail projects started by Jonathan administration expanded by Buhari administration has been abandoned indefinitely for no reason, all we witness is rollercoaster administration. Yet their much concerns is second term agenda, intimidating state governors with EFCC, the state governors are now busy defecting to the ruling APC for fear of corrupt cases hanging on their necks. Their new slogan now is go and ask your state governor what is doing with your state statutory allocation, 🤣as if they were the first to pay states statutory allocation. I challenge you to campaign with your last two years achievement if you think you have done better than the state governors.

Oh ALLAH I seek refuge in You.

What offense Osimhen has actually committed? Out spoken right? When did speaking out became an offense in this country? Why Osimhen out burst over shadows the failure and quagmire Finidi George place our darling team super eagles into? Why nobody is talking about how to survive Finidi's failure and his inability to give Nigeria world cup ticket but only concentrated on Osimhen's out burst? Why? Why? I hope is not what am thinking right now. But what ever your plans is. Let me quickly remind some of you who think can pull Victor Osimhen down with your social media antics, Osimhen is the current 8th best player in the world today, the only Nigerian that ever got this fit in football was my arsenal and Nigeria legend Kanu in far back 1996 when he emerged as 6th best player in the world and I know some of you were not born then, and Finidi never made even the reserved bench player in the world throughout his career. The last time I checked Victor Osimhen is the current Africa footballer of the year, this accolades have eluded Nigeria for over 20 whole years, the last time a Nigerian player emerged was 1999 and it was my legend again Kanu. And Finidi never made it this level of recognition in his entire career in football, tell me Finidi won champions league, nation's cup these are teams efforts not individual efforts. should I go ahead and tell you what serial*A* title he Osimhen won for Napoli met to him Victor Osimhen after 36 solid years wait for Seria*A* title? Legendary. The only player who have got this fit at Napoli was the great Armando Maradona of Argentina, the second African player in history to ever emerged highest goals scorer in seria*A* after George Wear. By this Osimhen recognition is not just by selection but by merits and it therefore means Osimhen is already a legend in Napoli, Africa and the world football even before his retirement less I forgot he has won FIFA under17 world cup for Nigeria not just won the cup but size the golden boot of that tournament with his footballing chemistry. Well I don't know what you want to gain by trying to pull down Osimhen. But I must assure you here categorically you arrived very late.
