“RAISING A CHILD WITHOUT RULES IS RAISING A DISASTER” (Why freedom without boundaries is destroying today’s kids) Let’s stop lying to ourselves: Children don’t need too much freedom — they need firm direction. You think you're giving them "space to express themselves"? But what you're really doing is giving them a fast-lane ticket… To self-destruction. A child without boundaries will test everything. They’ll test time. They’ll test truth. They’ll test how far they can go — until something breaks. And when there are no rules, no “NOs,” no clear lines drawn… They don’t become confident. They become confused. You’re not helping their self-esteem. You’re raising someone who won’t respect law, leadership, or life. Parents, wake up: It’s not “modern parenting” to allow your 12-year-old do what they like. It’s not “freedom” to let your 15-year-old lock their door 24/7 and live like a tenant. It’s not “trust” to hand them a phone, laptop, and data without supervision. That’s not love. That’s neglect with WiFi. Look around you: Kids cursing their parents online. Teenagers dressing like strippers and calling it “fashion.” Boys addicted to porn and calling it “freedom of expression.” Girls posting half-naked pictures with captions like “God’s masterpiece.” Young boys who can’t say “yes sir” or “no ma” because they were “raised to speak their minds.” What’s the result? A generation that wants respect but knows nothing about discipline. Let’s be clear: Boundaries don’t destroy children — they build them. Rules don’t limit children — they shape them. Discipline is not wickedness — it’s protection. Correction is not abuse — it’s love in motion. A child who grows up without consequences becomes an adult who disrespects everything — including God, law, and you. Many of you are afraid to say “NO” because you want to be liked. But parenting is not about popularity. Your job is not to be their best friend. Your job is to raise a man, to mold a woman, to train a future leader. And yes, it will involve: Saying no. Checking phones. Cutting off bad friends. Seizing devices. Setting curfews. And making tough decisions that your child will not like — but will thank you for later. Don’t wait till damage is done: Don’t wait until the police call you. Don’t wait until you’re dragged to a hospital. Don’t wait until you’re kneeling in church, crying, “Where did I go wrong?” The time to guide is now. The time to lead is now. Final Word: Give your child structure, not just softness. Give them discipline, not just data. Give them correction, not just comfort. Because no matter how sweet your child is, freedom without rules will turn even an angel into a problem. Happy parenting to us all. Copied!!!!!!!

Nemesis of the genocide perpetuated against the Igbos under the watch of Yakubu Gowon is still haunting Nigeria. Let nobody look far for why it has been impossible for past leaderships of Nigeria to fix the country. People must learn the basic natural principles that guide and sustain the earth or they risk swimming against the tide of life to their chagrin. Mother nature doesn't allow any injustice to go unpunished, without being redressed, because one of the fundamental physical laws of nature upon which the universal purpose of God for the earth is achieved is the law of balance. Without balance on both sides, nothing can be achieved but a continuously oscillating condition that puts no one to rest in the manner that we are all experiencing it in Nigeria. Unlike the so-called mercantilist Nigerian 'men of God' will tell Nigerians to pray endlessly, only an admission of guilt and reparations to the Igbos by Nigeria will set Nigeria free. If nobody decides to listen to this, let them do or we can go on endlessly on the present path of perdition until, as Patriarch Moses would say to a stubborn Pharaoh who chose to perish in the sea than grant the Israelites freedom, 'let my people go!'

When a Father Walks Away—Everyone Pays the Price Let’s say it loud: The greatest crisis a child can face isn’t poverty. It’s not bullying. It’s not the cost of college. It’s a father who left. Whether he left through cheating, cowardice, or being pushed out— the result is the same: A child with no compass. A future with no blueprint. A legacy with no foundation. Let’s talk about it. — 1. Fathers Who Cheat Don’t Just Betray Their Wives—They Break Their Children That affair you had? It didn’t just destroy trust. It disrupted an entire bloodline. Because the day you became a father, you weren’t just a lover. You became a leader. And when the leader abandons the structure? The whole kingdom collapses. — 2. Women Who Weaponize the Law Are No Better Let’s not pretend: The law is on your side. The courts favor you. The world will call you brave—even if you’re petty. But just because you can destroy a man legally doesn’t mean you should. Pushing a father out because your emotions changed isn’t power. It’s generational sabotage. Children don’t care about your ego. They care about consistency. — 3. Science Confirms It—Kids Do Better With Fathers Present You can’t rewrite this. Studies show: – Boys raised without fathers are more likely to be violent. – Girls raised without fathers are more likely to be exploited. – And all children suffer emotionally when dad becomes a ghost. Single motherhood may be normalized. But it’s not ideal. And if you’re offended? Check the prison stats. Check the dropout stats. Check the depression stats. Father absence is not just a wound. It’s a curse. — 4. Men: Stop Starting Families You’re Not Ready to Lead You want to be a father? Then stop acting like a frat boy with responsibilities. – You don’t get to cheat because “she let herself go.” – You don’t get to start over and pretend your first family doesn’t exist. – You don’t get to “heal” by disappearing from your children’s lives. Leadership isn’t convenience. It’s covenant. And a man who can’t keep his vows shouldn’t expect loyalty from his children later in life. — 5. Women: Stop Removing the Father Just Because the Marriage Died You fell out of love? Cool. But that doesn’t cancel his role. You moved on? Great. But that doesn’t mean he disappears. When you turn your child against their father, you’re not protecting them. You’re punishing them. And they’ll resent you for it when they grow up. — 6. Children Aren’t Resilient—They’re Just Quiet Don’t be fooled. That smile is covering confusion. That silence is hiding trauma. That “I’m fine” is rehearsed. They notice: – When your new partner gets more attention. – When they stop being invited to things. – When love starts feeling like a competition. They’re not “adapting.” They’re breaking quietly. — 7. Masculinity Must Be Modeled—Not Just Taught Boys don’t become men through lectures. They become men by watching one. And if you’re not around? They’ll find masculinity in the streets, the screen, or the chaos. And none of those places build men you’d be proud of. — Final Word: You Don’t Stop Being a Father Because You Failed as a Husband Men: You may have lost the marriage. But don’t lose your mission. Women: You may be hurt. But don’t hijack your child’s future to soothe your ego. Because when a father walks away— Or is pushed out— Everyone pays. The kids. The legacy. The soul of the next generation. So whether you're the man who strayed, Or the woman who shut the door… Fix it. Because children don’t care who was right. They just want both parents to stay in the fight.

AFRICA | 🇰🇪 | The Government of Kenya under President William Ruto killed a man in police cells for posting his views on social media. | There are now tensions in the country, with fears of protests. Last week a woman was arrested for creating an online link for citizens to comment about the government's finance bill. This is how narcissistic psychopaths behave. Trying to control how people should think and what they should say....signs of weak leadership.

Omirhobo to General Gowon: "the Nigerian-Biafran War was a self-inflicted crisis stemming from your leadership decisions, marked by youthful impulsiveness and lack of discernment. Your inability to uphold the Aburi Accord's spirit exacerbated the situation."The killings, destruction of properties ,  displacements , misery and despair going on in Benue /Plateau and other parts of the country today are direct consequences of your inaction.

Abia’s Alex Otti vs Delta’s Sheriff Oborevwori Same time in office. Different results. One is building a future. The other is wasting one. Delta receives more money than the entire Southeast combined yet has nothing to show for it. Let’s talk FACTS 👇🏾 REVENUE: WHO REALLY HAS THE MONEY? 🔹 Delta State Over ₦1.9 TRILLION received in 24 months (₦700bn FAAC + ₦400bn 13% Derivation + ₦300bn IGR + ₦500bn borrowings/debts) 🔹 Abia State Less than ₦300bn combined revenue in same period YET: Delta is gasping. Abia is growing. INFRASTRUCTURE: WHERE’S THE WORK? ✅ Abia (Otti): – Rebuilt Abia Secretariat for ₦900m (₦1.1bn saved) – Massive road projects across Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia – Overhauled streetlights, traffic control, & environment ❌ Delta (Sheriff): – Key roads like Effurun-Warri, Sapele axis, Jesse, Bomadi still death traps – No flagship project launched – Secretariat, schools, and hospitals in ruins HEALTHCARE: A STATE OF LIFE OR DEATH ✅ Abia: – Allocated 15% of budget to health (first in SE Nigeria) – Revived ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital) – Renovated PHCs & digitized medical records ❌ Delta: – Central Hospital Warri is a glorified mortuary – Medical staff strike constantly – No major hospital completed in 24 months Yet Delta spends billions on “consultancy.” EDUCATION: INVESTING IN BRAINS OR BUILDINGS? ✅ Otti: – ₦29.5bn to fence public schools (for safety) – Restored accreditation to ABSUTH – Launched bursaries & ICT training for youths ❌ Sheriff: – DELSU underfunded – Schools lack desks, staff, basic infrastructure – Education budget still bloated with ghost expenditures IGR & FISCAL DISCIPLINE: WHO’S MANAGING BETTER? 🔹 Otti: – Raised Abia IGR to ₦15bn in 6 months – Working toward ₦5bn monthly target – Cost of governance cut by ending fraudulent contracts – Prioritized salaries, pensions, and contractors 🔹 Sheriff: – No known IGR strategy – Huge FAAC dependency – No clear debt servicing plan – Budget padded with vague “empowerment” votes TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY 🟢 Otti: – Publishing contracts (partially) – Subjected Abia’s past finances to forensic audit – Sacked ghost workers – Implementing due process in procurement 🔴 Sheriff: – EFCC still probing Okowa’s ₦1.3trn derivation fund – Sheriff silent on financial abuse – No audit report published since he took office – Key ministries operating in secrecy COURTS & RULE OF LAW ✅ Abia: – ICT-driven judiciary – 17 LGAs with modern courtrooms – Judges motivated, cases now digitized ❌ Delta: – Lawyers protest delay in justice – Courtrooms in shambles – Judges neglected, salaries delayed COST OF GOVERNANCE Yes, Otti spent ₦5bn in 3 months. But he’s showing work. Delta spends the same and we ask, for what? Govt House in Asaba is bloated with aides, contracts, PR tools and “influencers” eating millions monthly. Zero productivity. VISION Abia is building an economy around technology, health, agriculture, and infrastructure. Delta is still doing “empowerment” and handouts like it’s 2003. Abia’s Otti is planning for 2050. Delta’s Sheriff is repeating 1999. SO DELTANS, ASK YOURSELF THIS: What if a man like Alex Otti governed Delta State with the kind of resources we’ve wasted under PDAPC? – Delta would be West Africa’s industrial hub. – Our schools and hospitals would be world-class. – Warri, Ughelli, Asaba, and Sapele would be model cities. Instead? We’re stuck in reverse. CONCLUSION Abia is proof that bold leadership can work. If a state with less than ₦300bn in 2 years can show us working hospitals, digital courts, smart schools, and real savings. Then Delta has NO excuse. We don’t lack money. We lack vision. 2027 must not be about party. It must be about performance. Integrity. Audacity. Boldness. Character. Delta must rise from the ruins of deceit. We need a reformer, not a seat-warmer. We need an Alex Otti not more of the same. #DeltaDeservesBetter #OttiModel #SheriffNoDeliver
