...A masterclass on power, perception, and resistance. Katniss isn’t just a girl with a bow; she’s a symbol, and symbols are powerful. The real threat isn’t her actions, but the hope she inspires. Hope is dangerous to any system built on fear. Plutarch understands that destroying her physically isn’t necessary. All they need to do is destroy her image. Control how people perceive her, and the people will do the rest. That’s how propaganda works; not always by silencing, but by manipulating narratives. They also expose a chilling truth: distraction is a weapon. While people are being flogged and executed, the media is told to focus on her wedding dress and cake. When the public is busy with entertainment and gossip, they forget the real battles around them. But President Snow says it plainly; fear alone won’t work if people still have hope. That’s the core message. No matter how dark things get, the presence of hope keeps people awake, aware, and ready to resist. For Nigerians, this hits home. In a society where fear is often used to control, where media narratives are twisted, and where distractions are everywhere, holding on to hope, and thinking critically, is revolutionary. #HopeOverFear #NigerianYouth #PowerOfSymbols #StayWoke #AmarsCity

I just discovered something very surprising today. There’s a tribe in Ethiopia called the Hamar people, and their tradition shocked me. According to their culture, When a young boy is about to become a man, he has to go through a ceremony called bull jumping. And yes, it means exactly what it sounds like...he has to run naked across the backs of several cows lined up in a row. If he falls, then that is considered a big embarrassment. But that’s not even the most shocking part. Before this ceremony, the women in his family allow themselves to be flogged willingly. They stand there and take real lashes from men who have already been initiated. And they don’t complain. In fact, they feel proud of the scars. Why? Because it’s their way of showing love and support to the young man. And the scar is like a contract...whenever that woman needs help in the future, the man must answer her. No questions asked. I read this and paused for a moment. I imagined asking my sisters, “Would you allow yourself to be whipped for me?” I’m very sure they would say, “Why not you for us?” 😂😂😂 Traditions like this are hard to believe but deeply meaningful in their culture. Now I’m curious....would you go through pain to support someone you love? Are you still proud of your country?😁

*** My neighbor was away on a two-week work trip when his pregnant wife went into labor. They had been married for almost two years now and this was the closest she had come after six consecutive miscarriages. It was past 11pm when his call came in and I was in bed at the time, fast asleep. I reached for my phone with sleepy eyes and clumsily picked the call. "Nnamdi!!" He yelled my name "Please help my wife! She is in labor! Take her to the hospital, please!" I jumped out of bed the moment I heard 'labor' and had to rush down to his apartment in just singlet and boxers. I got there and met his wife in the living room, in pain. "Nnamdi, thank God you're here!" She said in relief "Please take me to the hospital, labor has come" I drew closer and tried to lift her off the couch, I couldn't. "Hold my waist, Oga!" She yelled angrily and began to cry "I don't really blame you sha. It's Chukwudi I blame" I was finally able to get her up with my hand around her waist, and we began to slowly march outside. When we got to the door, she told me to slow down, that I was moving too fast. "Wait here let me get a taxi" I told her and dashed out the gate. I returned moments later to find her sitting on the floor. "I couldn't find a taxi o" I informed her "Can we use wheelbarrow?" "You and who will enter wheelbarrow?" She barked, panting "Oya Oya go and get the wheelbarrow naw! You're too dull... Tufiakwa!" I rushed to the back of the house and fetched our landlord's wheelbarrow, then helped her settle into it. "Look at what Chukwudi has caused" She started lamenting "I told him not to travel o" I ignored her and started pushing the barrow. She was as heavy as a hippo. I got to a point and decided to stop and rest. "Chukwudi what are you doing!?" She turned to ask me "Push this thing before I born here! Lazy boy!" "Ma, I am not Chukwudi. I am Nnamdi" I said annoyingly "Shut up Oga, both of you are the same thing. Push this thing Osiso!" She voiced I swallowed my anger and began to push again. She wouldn't stop talking, she wouldn't stop crying. Finally we arrived the hospital and she was wheeled into the theatre room. I stayed back at the reception hall. I was just praying silently. Ten minutes later, a nurse accosted me. "Mr Chukwudi, your wife wants to see you" She said "My name is not Chukwudi, that's her husband's name" I said "Is there a problem?" "Please just come" She said, grabbing me by the hand as we walked into the labor room "Nnamdi! Carry that your big head and come here!" She yelled the moment she saw me approaching with the nurse. The other nurses in the room began to giggle. At that point I was both exhausted and angry. I didn't know if I was now the husband or neighbour. I just stood by the door gawking. "Good husbands are beside their wives in times like this but Chukwudi is nowhere to be found" She continued "Men are w!cked.. All of them!" The nurses asked me to leave and I returned to the reception hall. I sat and closed my eyes, but the next time I opened them, there was the cry of a baby. I was still trying to figure out if it was a dream or not when another nurse ran up to me. "Congratulations sir, it's a baby boy!" All the pain and anger immediately vanished as I ran into the theatre room to meet the baby in his mother's arms. She was just shedding tears of joy. I couldn't contain my happiness. It felt so satisfying. I returned to the reception hall again and was still in an excited mood when another nurse approached me and shook my hands firmly. "Congratulations sir" She said "You're now a father!" I was set to tell her I wasn't the husband when she dropped yet another bombshell. "The baby looks exactly like you" 🙄 If dem never kîl one nurse for this hospital, others no go rest.

JOKE OF THE DAY: A man walks into a police station in tears and goes to the sergeant at the desk. Husband: “My wife is missing. Yesterday she went to rescue people from the flood and has not come home!" Sergeant: "What is her height?" Husband: “My God, I'm not sure. Just over five feet tall. " Sergeant: "Weight? " Husband: "I don't know. Not slim, not really fat." Sergeant: "Eyes color? " Husband: "Sort of brown I think. Never really noticed." Sergeant: "Hair color? " Husband: “Changes several times a year. Maybe dark brown now?" Sergeant: "What was she wearing?" Husband: "Could have been pants, or maybe a skirt or shorts. I don't know exactly." Sergeant: "What kind of car did she go in?" Husband: "She went in my Jeep." Sergeant: "What kind of Jeep was it?"

JOKE OF THE DAY: After having failed his exam in “Logistics and Organization”, a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it. Student, “Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?” Professor, “Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!” Student, “Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an 'A' for the exam.” Professor, “Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?” Student: “What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?” Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an 'A', as agreed. Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question... What do you think the answer to the question is?

Men, listen up Just because a woman did you wrong doesn’t mean you should slow down on your grind. Respect your last name. If she thinks she’s bigger than the life you’ve built—or the life you’re building—then let her go. If she’s comfortable talking to you crazy, then stop talking to her. Respect your last name. If she really thinks she can treat you like a joke, then walk away. Respect your last name. If she keeps taking your kindness for weakness, show her just how strong you are—by leaving. Respect your last name. If she keeps threatening to leave, don’t sit there begging her to stay. Respect your last name. If she doesn’t take you seriously enough to respect your boundaries, then leave. Respect your last name. If she actually believes she can find better, don’t get sad about it. Let her try—and you go get every single thing you want out of this life. Always remember: you can lose money chasing women, but you’ll never lose women chasing money.

*TOO LATE TO APOLOGISE AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED* Where are you coming from by this time of the night? He thundered. Honey you won't believe what happened today. Oh God I'm so tired right now. She replied as she yawned. I asked where you are coming from and you are vomiting rubbish. Does that answer my question? Are you trying to pretend you don't know there's no food in this house? Femi said fuming. Honey I'm sorry but you should hear me out first. I.... Before she could complete that sentence, a thunderous slap kissed her left cheek and she passed out on the sofa. Get my dinner ready, after that you will tell me why you switched off your phone. He said as he walked towards the bedroom. When he noticed there was no response from his wife, he was infuriated. He rushed towards her to unleash the rest of the demon in him but on getting close to her, he discovered she has passed out. He was shocked. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and raced down his temple. Fear gripped him. He began to panic. #taghardtruth
