We woke up the other day to the announcement of the resignation of Keir Starker as British Prime Minister. And this is reportedly his records after one year in office.

Now, someone holds office for three years and is seeking re-election after failing on practically all counts.

@ADCVanguard_ I wonder where this news is coming from. Reports indicate that Jonathan didn't submit any nomination form at the time scheduled and that the exercise had been postponed indefinitely.

He doesn't even seem to have any interest in the race by the way.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

@Chima_Obi1234 Peter Obi is a rare breed. He is simply in a class of his own; worlds apart from his peers. That's why his greedy counterparts resent him with every fibre in them.

Just retweet, repost and share everywhere.

And gradually, Nigeria is fast turning into a one-party state. A country of over 200 million people is now genuflecting to the whims and caprices of one man! State after state. Enugu has followed suit. How did we get here? Smh! #apc #jagaban

@DavidHundeyin Ibrahim Traore is indeed a gift to our generation. He is one flicker of light in this continent that has remained in the shackles of neocolonialism. To imagine that some Africans have been badmouthing him shocks me to no end.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Ibrahim Traore himself probably doesn't realise how important he has become to this continent. I've been alive nearly 35 years and I've never seen one person manage to unite Anglophones, Francophones and Lusophones in approval.

It's incredible to witness.

It gives me hope for Nigeria too. Maybe our generation is too unintelligent and too far gone, but a generation after us someday will definitely unite around a Nigerian "Traore." We might not be here to witness it, but it will happen.

The Conclave starts 7th of May. 135 Cardinal-electors. The 267th successor of Peter emerges afterwards. We pray for the Church. May the Holy Spirit guide the electors to make the best choice. #conclave2025

@InibeheEffiong See how this nitwit got a recognition that was never deserved. There are some gibberish that shouldn't really be dignified with any response.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

A colleague at work wondered why the issue of the authenticity of Mr Tinubu's academic records is still at the front burner. Her eyes almost left the sockets when I told her: "if you think we should drop that conversation, then you're one of the enemies of Nigeria".

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

So long as CSU disowned the certificate that was submitted to INEC, it doesn't matter what anybody else says. So paying some dudes to put up that gibberish via the BBC Africa platform amounts to nothing. Not everyone is fickle-minded.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Dear Doc, this scenario you have painted goes beyond the issue of forgery or the person of Bola Tinubu. You have unknowingly hit the nerve centre of what is wrong with Nigeria, the country, and Nigeria, the human society - unequal, inconsistent, subjective, and dishonest application of rules and behavioural standards.

If a group of Nigerians should ever decide that someone is on "their team," there is nothing they are not prepared to ignore, overlook, make excuses for, or tell lies about, no matter how obvious the misbehaviour is, or how egregious the cover-up lies have to be.

That's why when a woman says no to a popular musician in a nightclub and his fragile ego cannot handle rejection, so he and his posse end up shooting her fiance and endangering the lives of everyone present, only to later pay them a gagging settlement, his fans choose to hound and harass the journalist who reports the incident instead of requiring the most basic human accountability from their fave.

It's why a politician who has TILL TODAY never proven that he completed secondary school, would run for office and when his lack of qualification is called out, his supporters would be like, "Even if he presents a NEPA bill as his certificate, we will still vote for him."

It's how come when a big story comes out detailing serious corporate governance failures or malfeasance by a powerful investor or tech bro, the immediate response by his friends and beneficiaries is ALWAYS to attack the whistleblower or the person who reported it by inferring that they are misguided or maliciously trying to "bring his business down" instead of dealing with the actual issue.

It's why half of my family avoids me or looks at me funny - because after everyone has finished cursing the government and complaining about "Nigeria he nor good o", we will remember that we share a surname with prominent people in the same government. I'm supposed to support the government because Aunty Bimbo is Lagos SSG, Uncle Biodun is ex-DCG NIS, Ben is NPF Lagos PRO, etc.

It's why I'm even sure that if I wake up tomorrow and become the opposite of everything I have ever stood for, I will still retain a following - because too many people would value the feeling of "liking" me over the material reality that I would have become a monster.

The most successful societies on earth today are those that have learned to enforce certain base levels of legality and behavioural expectations across board. The least successful ones are the ones where prominent people commit crimes like certificate forgery in broad daylight, and people like the fellow below come on national TV and dance naked to support them.

Until Nigeria and Nigerians learn to prioritise certain basic ideals and standards over individuals and personalities, we are NOT heading anywhere fast. Bola Tinubu's certificate forgery may just be a symptom of the wider problem, but how Nigeria handles it is, I think, a watershed moment in the country's history.

Blessings to us all.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

Gani Fawehinmi knew this long ago, and raised alarm back then. It's now public knowledge, thanks to the likes of @DavidHundeyin. Whatever happens at the supreme court, 2023 would go down in history as the year Nigeria had a breathing FRAUD occupy the highest office in the land.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

@DavidHundeyin Now you have solved the puzzle. Many have been wondering his whereabouts after that abysmal outing. Gosh! A sitting president with a lot of shady dealings. How low can a nation really sink?

You're a pain in their sorry ass bro. That's why they are asking for your head.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

@DavidHundeyin What could make more sense?

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Also for the record, the only reason Atiku is in court in Chicago is because Nigeria's legal system is operated and overseen by some of the worst blockheads in the Southern Hemisphere.

There is no document Atiku will obtain under subpoena from Chicago State University which Mike Enahoro-Ebah did not already obtain last year under another subpoena from the same court. You're going to see the same documents which were already published here 10 months ago: https://t.co/3hYyQXkkmR

The reason he has to go through this rigmarole is that the blockheads who wear hot, heavy colonial wigs and sit down inside courtrooms that have to be air-conditioned otherwise they will suffer heatstroke, ascribe lower value to the same documents obtained under the same legal process, when someone else obtained them.

In other words, when a private investigator goes through a legal process to get hold of documents that impact a case between 2 people and these documents are presented to a Nigerian court, the wig-wearing obotes will insist that one of the 2 people involved in the case must go through the same process to get the same documents, or else the documents are deemed - for some unknown reason - to have lesser value in court.

Everybody's time must be wasted, and effort must be needlessly duplicated or else the obotes won't be happy. That's what we refer to as the "Nigerian justice system."

A rotting pile of arbitrary nonsense.

[AnkaDede @AnkaDede]

@DeleMomodu Nothing changes the fact that Nigeria's Judiciary, knowinly, want a drug dealer and certificate forger to be returned as President of their country. They put the credibility of their own education into question.

[Benjamin Achi @BenjaminAchi75]

@urchilla01 @benmurraybruce You sounded like you read these words out from my mind. The likes of #benmurraybruce are the reason we're where we are today.
