A friend of mine was sensing that they were going to lay him off about a year ago. He is over 50 and has been at the same organization for over a decade. They finally gave him the letter, and he is devastated. Kids in school, mortgage to pay. No safety net. I hate corporations.
This article took me years to write; not because the facts were hard to find, but because Aliko Dangote is an emotive subject. To some, he's an evil monopolist. To others, a ruthless operator. And there are many who believe billionaires like him simply shouldn’t exist.
I heard some Italians who are based in The Netherlands complain that if you want a coffee with Dutch friends at their houses, you have to plan weeks ahead - and you dare not visit them till they give a go-ahead.
In Italy, you merely tell them you are coming.
If not for @DavidHundeyin, Hadi Sirika and Muhammadu Buhari would have successfully fooled Nigerians with the fake Nigerian Air project, and the next administration would have played along.
Give him his credits
Renewed hopelessness.
This day last year, darkness enveloped Nigeria with the ascension of Bola Tinubu to the presidency via a combination of dollar gifts to party men who sold their futures for a few morsels of cheese, voter intimidation, violence, thuggery, ballot box snatching, ethnocentric voting and amala politicking.
One year on, Tinubu’s presidential legacy is hallmarked by economic regression, rising insecurity, increased unemployment, voracious taxation, inflation and poorly-thought-out policies.
To cap it all, his government has in record time emerged the most draconian in Nigeria’s democratic history. Never has Nigeria witnessed such brazen, baseless, barefaced and shameless harassment, abduction and detention of journalists.
Nigeria is slowly restoring the dark days of the military era, only this time this muzzling of the media and state capture is occurring in a pretend democracy shepherded by a man who supposedly fought the military in his heyday.
A horrible time to be Nigerian.
Changing the Nigerian national anthem written by a Nigerian, to the song written by colonizers is a stupid decision and it's shameful that nobody in the National Assembly thought to stand against it.

BREAKING
To fight inflation, the Central Bank of Nigeria has reverted to the Nigerian Pound currency
N1000 now £1
We will discuss the implication of this change on my weekly X Spaces this Sunday
Hold your naira close
This is another Chinese brand quietly taking over Africa. I have two dishwashers, two washing machines, three TVs, and two fans from them now. Cheap enough to buy spare devices. 5 years warranty with repair centers. They mean business.
If only Nigerians will cooperate, we will start recall process on all these National Assembly people.
At least they will all sit up.
Lawyers in the house, what’s the process.
Wherever you are in the diaspora, if you run a Nigerian restaurant, please do it well and get us our food on time.
We're already some of the world's least liked people, and our food is one of the very few genuine joys we get to have.
Please don't spoil the little joy we have🙏🏾
Your national anthem was changed in order to insult you and distract you from talking about the woes and failures of Tinubu’s corrupt and grossly inept administration.
May 29 was fast approaching and they needed to ensure Nigerians with short attention span gets distracted.
Changing the national anthem was something a retard like Bayo Onanuga could have suggested to score cheap points before the puppeteer, Gbajabiamila (de facto president).
That’s why the bill ran through expedited hearing and was quickly signed so that you can sing it today.
But the question remains, having known this , what will Nigerian youths do about it besides wail on twitter??
The answer is Nothing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Because you have been defeated, raped and robbed of your dignity.
They brought back the old anthem they are familiar with because they don’t give a fuck about the youths of Nigeria.
Learn or die!
I tried to make light humour of the national anthem thing
I could not
Do you understand that someone got this idea, and sold it all through the food chain until it got to Oga
Oga then approved it. Meaning there is no voice of reason in this apparatus that can sterilize nonsense proposals
Even Buhari was not this jobless ooh
What's next? We change eba to garri?
This is extreme joblessness
Nice One Tinubu. All attention has shifted from your One year failure to National Anthem.
You planned it well. The media is awash with the National anthem change. They’re not talking about your failure.

I can confirm that Chioma Okoli suffered a miscarriage and lost her pregnancy. I made this disclosure to the Honourable Court during yesterday’s proceedings and it was reported by pressmen who were in the court.
Prior to yesterday, we decided to keep this information private and to only disclose it in the court. I am only stating this here due to the fact that the Court is already aware of it and many people are asking for confirmation.
The evidence of the miscarriage is before the Court, is not for the media.
I can also confirm that she was arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday on a two count-charge of alleged “cyberstalking” to which she pleaded not guilty.
Chioma was remanded in Suleja Custodial Centre (Suleja prison) pending ruling on her bail application fixed for Friday, May 31, 2024.
Please those asking me questions about her case and her current condition should understand that there is a limit to what I can publicly say at this time.
History will vindicate the just.
