THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIOLENCE AND RESISTANCE: NIGERIANS WILL NOT ACCEPT ANOTHER STOLEN MANDATE
To the supporters of this government and their political principals, let this message be understood without ambiguity: there is a fundamental difference between violence and resistance. Do not deliberately confuse the two simply because you have grown accustomed to impunity and the expectation that Nigerians must endure every assault on their democratic rights in silence.
When a people rise in defence of their mandate, their constitutional rights, and the integrity of their electoral process, it is intellectually dishonest to automatically label their resolve as violence. Resistance to electoral injustice is not synonymous with aggression. Peaceful resistance, civic mobilisation, lawful protest, and the collective refusal to legitimise electoral fraud are democratic expressions of popular sovereignty.
Let nobody mistake the patience of Nigerians for cowardice, their restraint for weakness, or their commitment to peace for an unlimited tolerance of electoral criminality.
You rig, you die” is a doctrine of necessity born out of deep frustration with the persistent betrayal of the people's mandate.
It is a political expression of the consequences of pushing citizens to the edge of democratic tolerance. It must not be misconstrued as an endorsement of physical violence, but understood as an uncompromising declaration that electoral manipulation will no longer be met with passive acceptance.
To those who occupy positions of authority, and to those who cheer them on regardless of the consequences, hear this clearly: Nigerians are watching. Every attempt, attempted attempt, calculated scheme, or institutional conspiracy to manipulate the electoral outcome on January 16, 2026, will be met with determined civic resistance. The people will not surrender their sovereignty to political desperados this time around.
Democracy does not belong to a president, a political party, a security establishment, or a cabal of self-serving interests. It belongs to the people. And when the people insist on defending it, no amount of intimidation, propaganda, or political blackmail can erase that fundamental truth.
Our message is unequivocal: the people's mandate is sacrosanct. Electoral fraud will not be legitimised by silence, intimidation, or force. Nigeria belongs to Nigerians, and the people will defend their democratic rights.
You have been warned. Not a threat of violence, but a declaration of democratic resolve.

I set up my personal practice, Studio Seyi, earlier this year, to explore all the cool and interesting ideas I have. Some of those ideas manifested as handmade, physical things. I wrote something about the journey so far.

Guys, NDC is under attack. They’re trying to confuse our voters, using PDP umbrella and ADC colors in posters and music. Please shine your eyes.
Share the correct NDC logo to all our supporters, especially in rural areas. Repost and share endlessly. We will not be stopped!

We all know the reason why we don’t see too many NDC posters in Lagos and other places.
Instead of asking mumu questions, use that energy to talk to other people about your candidate and why they should vote him.
You people can pretend for Africa man

How do I get into Marketing/Advertising the agency way.
Here are places you can actually skill up but you need to know where your heart is? Brand, Design, Copy or Strategy.
1. 02 Academy Lagos. Their training is usually for 3 months and it’s approx 450k thereabout. Very much worth it. Covers all 4 core areas of marketing & advertising.
02academylagos.com/
2. 42 courses by Cannes Lions. There are like free sample courses but with about $110 dollars max, you should get a full on course with a mini MBA.
42courses.com/
N.B You can also check out Lions Learning. There should be some other courses somewhere
3. If you think strategy is your thing. Here is how I know you can get started for FREE. Visit this YouTube channel and watch all the videos there from top to bottom.
youtube.com/@strategyhour?si…
4. I also have a free drive link to copywriting resources. One of my seniors who is a creative director shared this with me and I’ve held them dear to my heart.

5. If you want to get started with social media management/community management.
Join my waitlist for the January 2027 cohort.
In most agencies you do content/community management and a few others just community management but what you learn in my cohort can be very much applied across industries.

It depends on who you're hiring and the nature of the role.
🧵
I once worked with an international company where I often found myself working until 11 PM or even 1 AM due to the time zone difference and the need to align with the team's working hours.
During a 12-month contract, I produced between 10 and 30 designs daily. My productivity led the company to extend my contract by an additional two months.
Been looking to hire Graphics Designer and Video Editor for a client for 9-5 role in Abuja for 3 weeks
Lol…everybody wants to work virtually.
The client has been through hell and back managing creatives who work from home.
Graphics designer go dey flex for house, client go dey boil for office all because he says “there is no light in our areas sir” …

“And if we can do so much apart, imagine what happens when 54 nations move as one.
Our diversity is our greatest technology
We carry the dream of Alkebulan
We join Sitoe in our inheritance
This is not just any one nation
This is Africa."

Peter Obi at College of Nursing, Mbano, Imo State. Obi is the Patron Saint of Nurses.
Happiness overload for the students who are always glad to receive Obi as he donates regularly to the institution.
All healthcare workers should vote NDC and Peter Obi if they want to enjoy.

The current fight in Nigeria’s political space is between two ideologies. One group believes that the chaotic incompetence we see in Nigerian politics and governance today cannot be changed and must be adapted to. The other group disagrees.

Accountability is the foundation of good governance. Leaders must be willing to explain their decisions, account for public funds, and take responsibility for their actions. Public office is a responsibility, not a personal privilege.
A government that is accountable to its people builds trust, promotes transparency, and delivers good results.
Nigerians deserve leaders who serve with integrity, not those who evade responsibility.

INEC should submit their voter register to an independent forensic investigation. The news coming out from Edo state needs a forensic investigation. ~~ Dr Moses Paul, the Leader of Obidient Movement made this demand.
