Let me share this here


If this incident that happened a few hours ago.

I wasn’t supposed to stop.

But I did.

There was chaos just ahead of the supermarket gate somewhere in Surulere.

A black Toyota Corolla was surrounded by three LASTMA officials.

The driver, mid-40s, shirt soaked in sweat, kept pacing between them.

And something in his voice stopped me.

“Please. Please just look inside the car. He is not even moving anymore. That’s my son. He is sick, he is very sick. We were going to the hospital. I only stepped in to grab his medication. I was gone for just five minutes.”

One of the officials shook his head like he’d heard it a thousand times.

“You people always have stories. Why park where you’re not supposed to? You want us to lose our job?”

Another officer barked.

“Oga, if you don’t bring ₦70,000 now, this car is going to the yard. And from there? You’ll need close to ₦400,000 to bail it.”

The man reached out. Not to touch them. Just to plead.

They stepped back like he carried something contagious.

“I swear I’m not lying. Please. He has severe asthma. I forgot the nebulizer at home. I was rushing to the hospital, Faithview, just ten minutes from here. Look at him! You have a child, right? Please, have sympathy.”

That was when I looked.

The boy, maybe ten, was in the backseat, his small frame slumped against the door, eyes half-closed. His chest heaved in rapid spasms, every breath sounding like gravel grinding in a pipe.

His fingers trembled. His lips were turning dark.

So I stepped forward.

“What’s wrong with him?”

The father looked at me, disoriented.

“Asthma. It started an hour ago. He had a mild attack in the morning, but its worsening fast. I was going to get him treated and just stopped for a refill. Please, sir… help me talk to them.”

I tried to talk to the LASTMA officers but they ignored me so I turned back to the man.

“Try and sort this with them, let me take him to the hospital.”

His eyes widened.

“You…?”

“We don’t have another option and there is no time. He needs oxygen. Now.”

He hesitated.

“You’re a stranger.”

“I am. But your son is dying.”

He looked back at the boy.

Then at me.

He obviously saw that there was no other option left.

His lips trembled.

“Give me your number. Please.”

I gave him mine.

And he gave me his.

I opened the door and gently lifted the boy from the backseat.

He was warm. Burning. His eyes barely focused on mine.

As I placed him in my car, the father shouted behind me.

“Please, call me the moment you get there. Please don’t let anything happen to him!”

I nodded once. Then I got into the car and quickly drove off.

The hospital wasn’t crowded, I guess because it was a private one.

I rushed in carrying the boy in both arms.

“Emergency! Severe asthma attack. Ten-year-old boy!”

The receptionist stood up so fast her chair hit the wall.

She shouted.

“Treatment Room Two! Get Doctor Okafor!”

While I tried to fill the form I was given, two nurses rushed and took the boy, placed him on the oxygen tank, connected a nebulizer, and began checking vitals.

One of the nurses murmured.

“He’s tachypneic. Respiration over 40. Oxygen saturation 82%.”

The doctor said as he rushed in still zipping his scrubs.

“Get the hydrocortisone ready. Nebulize him every 20 minutes. Keep him on oxygen. If he doesn’t stabilize, we’re moving to adrenaline injection.”

I stood there.

My heart pounding.

This wasn’t my child.

But it felt like my fight.

Minutes passed.

Then the doctor came out.

“He is stable.”

He said, wiping his forehead.

“That was close. He’ll be okay, but he needs to stay a few hours for monitoring.”

I thanked him so much.

The bill came.

₦89,000.

I paid with my debit card.

I stepped outside and called the boy’s father.

He picked on the first ring.

“Hello! Sir, please, is he?”

“He is stable. He is getting oxygen and treatment.”

A pause.

Then I heard the man begin to cry. Softly.

I didn’t speak. I let him.

But he wasn’t done.

“They’ve taken the car. They refused to wait. I was still begging when the towing truck came. They said the 70K grace was over. I’m at their yard in Iponri now. Sir… they’re asking for ₦385,000 to release my car.”

I looked at the hospital door behind me.

Then at the sky.

Then back to my car.

I didn’t know what to say to him.

But all I found myself saying was.

“I’m coming.”

And I meant it.

He couldn’t believe his ears.

I arrived at the LASTMA office just before 3PM.

The weather was warm, no sun, but the heat stuck to my skin like wet cloth.

I found him standing by a corner fence, head down, fingers digging into his scalp.

He was tired and confused.

So I said to him gently.

“Sir.”

He looked up like someone coming out of a bad dream. His eyes were red, his face streaked with dry sweat and tears.

He approached me nervously.

His voice was hoarse.

“My car… they have impounded it. Said I’ll pay ₦385,000. They even threatened to keep increasing the fine by day. That car is my only source of income. That’s my office from where I make money to take care of my son and my wife. God, please, help me.”

I told him.

“Stay calm. Nothing will happen to your car, you’ll get it back, I believe.”

He nodded slowly.

“They have been laughing at me. One said, ‘Your son is sick? Na why you go break law? You think say we be Red Cross?’”

I felt something cold stir in my chest.

Not rage.

Just sadness.

I said to him.

“Please, come with me.”

We walked into the building.

Inside, it smelled of engine oil, sweat, and indifference.

I approached the counter.

“Good afternoon. I’d like to speak with your superior officer. It’s regarding a car that was impounded a few hours ago, black Toyota Corolla.”

A thickset officer with bloodshot eyes looked up at me. “Eeyyaa who you be? Police or Army? Abeg everything you want to say, say it here. We don’t have time.”

I responded calmly but firm.

“I was the one who rushed the sick boy to the hospital, I have the hospital card and bill here. He was in the back seat of that vehicle. That child would have died today if I didn’t act.”

He scoffed.

“And so? Good for him. E mean say we no go do our job?”

“No one said that but this man was in an emergency. All he asked was a few more minutes. Instead, you people want to extort him. Now you’re billing him almost ₦400,000. This isn’t traffic enforcement. It’s cruelty.”

Another officer chimed in.

“Oga, the car don enter system. Na only Oga inside go override am. And e no dey see everybody.”

“Then let him see me.”

“As governor of Lagos State or as who?”

Silence.

I stood my ground.

“Get your superior. I’ll wait.”

The minutes crawled.

The father stood beside me like a child awaiting judgment.

Fortunately, a senior officer emerged.

Bald, tall, stern. I saw his name tag.

He sized me up before he said.

“What’s the problem?”

I stepped forward and told the story. From the moment I saw the boy wheezing in the back seat, to carrying him into the hospital, to paying the ₦89,000 hospital bill, to returning only to find the car had been towed.

The Commander listened without interruption. Then he asked a single question:

“Do you have proof the boy was sick?”

I handed him the hospital bill and the case card. He studied them for a long moment.

Then something shifted in his eyes.

He looked at the officers behind the desk.

“You towed the vehicle knowing a child was dying in it?”

“Sir, the man parked in a no-parking.”

“I didn’t ask that. I asked if you knew a child was in distress in the car.”

No one answered.

He sighed.

“Release the car. Immediately. Remove the fine. No man should suffer for saving his own son’s life. And you.”

He turned to the father.

“You’re lucky someone still has a conscience in this country. Thank this guy for stepping in.”

The man fell to his knees.

“Thank you. Thank you, sir… I swear, thank you…”

When the superior left, he turned to me.

And his voice broke.

“You didn’t know me. Yet you rushed my son to the hospital. You paid for his treatment. And now, you’re standing here fighting for me when I couldn’t even fight for myself.”

I helped him to his feet.

He opened his wallet and tried to hand me some money.

“I don’t have much. Please… even if it’s part of what you spent…”

I shook my head.

“Your son is breathing. That’s enough. Please, pick your car and go and see him. God bless you.”

He looked at me, eyes trembling.

“Why? Why would you do this for me?”

I didn’t know how to answer that.

So I said the only thing I truly believed.

“Because someone should.”

As we walked out into the fading light, I handed him a folded note.

It was the hospital’s follow-up card. His son had to return in two days for further tests.

“I already booked the appointment. He’ll need more care. Don’t miss it.”

He opened it slowly, then looked back at me, his lips parted, but no words came.

Only tears.

Only silence.

And behind us, the LASTMA officers watched.

They were quiet now. Maybe even ashamed.

But I left there happy and fulfilled.

You could do the same.

And the world will be a better place.

Nigeria is radicalizing the Igbo, one injustice at a time


Nigeria is radicalizing the Igbo, one injustice at a time.

There’s something about persecution that does two things to a people: it either breaks them, or it makes them beasts of survival.

For centuries, they were hunted, hated, and humiliated by empires. But they didn’t vanish. They evolved. They adapted. And today, the Jews are arguably the most powerful tribe in the world economically, intellectually, and politically. Ruthless when necessary.

They are unapologetic about their survival. Now, look at the Igbo. A tribe known for industry, resilience, and brilliance. A people who just want to live, do business, and thrive. But Nigeria doesn’t want that. Nigeria wants control.

Nigeria wants submission. And the one thing the Igbo have never known how to do is bow. And that’s the real issue. So what does Nigeria do? It sidelines them. Isolates them. Provokes them. Bombs their villages under the guise of security.

Locks up their agitators. Shuts down their businesses. Mocks their pain. Ignores their history. Prevent them from voting. Playing politics with their education. Sponsored bigotry on them. And then Nigeria pretends to be surprised that there’s growing radicalization in the East?

Let me be clear: The Igbo didn’t start this fire. Nigeria did. And history, the very same history we keep refusing to learn from, has shown us that when you keep pushing a tribe that knows how to survive, they evolve into something stronger, something unstoppable.

It’s happened before. With the Jews. Europe tried to exterminate them. Instead, they became the backbone of global finance, media, tech, and diplomacy. You don’t touch a Jew today without consequences. You don’t push them to the wall and expect them to stay quiet.

Now Nigeria is doing the same to the Igbo, pushing, prodding, provoking. But here’s the warning: when you push an animal to the wall, it doesn’t stay calm. It fights back. It bites. And this time, when it bites, don’t act shocked.

But this isn’t just about the Igbo solely. Nigeria has perfected the art of creating monsters, then acting surprised when they bite. The Niger Delta? Radicalized. The region was exploited for oil, polluted beyond repair, and ignored until their youths picked up arms.

The Fulani terrorists? Radicalized. Left behind by the same government that claimed to represent them, now manipulated by religion and resentment.

The Almajiri? Radicalized. Abandoned by an elite that used their poverty as a vote bank and then left them to rot. The Agbero? Radicalized. Uneducated, weaponized, and unleashed as tools of political chaos.

Even the middle class is slowly being radicalized, not with guns, but with hopelessness. That, too, is a ticking time bomb.

A nation cannot continue to marginalize its most brilliant tribe and expect peace. The Igbo are not docile. They are not quiet. They are not forgetful. They are survivors, and survivors don’t beg for space forever. At some point, they take it.

The Igbo didn’t set out to be radicals. They were made into one by a country that won’t stop seeing their confidence as a threat. You can’t keep pretending unity means silence. You can’t keep preaching peace while planting injustice.

The Igbo are not asking for too much, they just want to live, build, and grow. But if you insist on turning their dignity into defiance, their enterprise into enmity, and their survival into sedition, then you are creating a monster.

And if history has taught us anything, it’s this: when a persecuted people decide that survival is no longer enough, when they decide to stop running and start resisting, they don’t just fight back. They win.

Nigeria must understand this: you cannot keep pushing people into a corner and expect submission. When you back a lion into a wall, don’t expect it to purr. It will roar. It will claw. It will tear through anything standing between it and freedom.

So here’s the final warning, for those who still care to listen: Nigeria is radicalizing the Igbo. But worse, Nigeria is radicalizing everyone. And it won’t end well.

When the fire spreads, when the rebellion multiplies, when the beast we created begins to fight back, don’t act shocked; no tribe will be left untouched. Don’t pretend it wasn’t preventable. We all made it happen. You don’t corner a lion and expect peace.

Thank You Jesus,

Islamist attack in Borno, Nigeria: 20 Christians killed, church burnt during mourning. Government silence raises concerns for persecuted Church.


Islamists launched an attack on a group of Christians gathered to mourn and bury a loved one in Borno. They killed 20 of them and burnt down a church.

Save for the fact that the Islamic State fighters posted what they did, the Nigerian government and mainstream media are saying nothing about it.

Thanks @visegrad24 and all those who are standing with the persecuted Church in Nigeria.

Who is Sunday Jackson?


Sunday is a simple Christian farmer from Adamawa State.

He was attacked by a knife-wielding Fulani terrorist while trying to get food for his family.

Somehow, he overpowered the herder, and stabbed him to death – a clear act of self-defense.

What did the Nigerian Judiciary rule?

That even if the weapon belonged to the attacker; that even if the terrorist intended to kill Sunday, SUNDAY SHOULD HAVE RUN AWAY INSTEAD OF DEFENDING HIMSELF, and for killing his attacker, Sunday should face the deaath penalty.

The Nigerian Supreme Court, led by Justice Kekere-Ekun, UPHELD this barbaric ruling.

Dear Nigerian,

In case you don’t understand what this means, it implies that if you are attacked and you act in self defense and kill your attacker, you must die.

This ruling sets a dangerous precedent against your self preservation.

This ruling gives terrorists the judicial right to kill you.

It is time to disband this clown show of a judiciary.

It is time to destroy this disaster of an executive.

It is time to tear down this travesty of a legislature.

The longer we wait before we kill bad governance in Nigeria, the more innocent people die in Nigeria
