The way Tinubu’s politics always seems to elevate and empower thugs into relevance is one reason I’ll never rate him ahead of so many Yoruba politicians including Pa Awo, even though they never became President.
Igboho calling out GSM is very consistent with Tinubu’s politics.
Case of fitting the narrative to suit the goal. In some respects, not much has changed but at least now more Africans know their history and no longer accept the narrative. Dark continent? A continent of people with hearts of gold, of people who believe in ubuntu can never dark.
Rest. People who have fed from the teat of state cannot tell those scratching a living and dreaming of actually making the most of this one life they've got how to speak on how Nigeria has treated them. The indignity is you trying to police that expression. Get out.

Brexit was the greatest act of economic self-harm in our country’s history.
I’ve calling on the government for closer ties with Europe to help businesses grow, lower costs and improve living standards.
Rejoining the EU must remain our destination.

Jared Kushner does not have any security clearances.
So his claim about divulging classified information, would mean he is admitting to illegal access of classified information….
It's possible that in the span of one week, Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, Netanyahu loses in Israel, and Republicans lose the house and senate.
Here's hoping fascism loses everywhere.

This is why I argue the United States has the most powerful propaganda machine in the world. And frankly, I don’t think there’s another country that even comes close.
A perfect example is this Vietnamese immigrant family proudly announcing that they’re voting Republican because they believe in freedom, democracy, and the need to defeat the evils of communism.
Let’s examine the irony here.
First, communism is not a threat to the United States. The Democratic Party is not communist. Supporting universal healthcare, something virtually every other developed country provides, does not make someone a communist.
But Republicans have spent decades convincing Americans that any policy designed to help ordinary working people is somehow a step toward communism. It’s one of the oldest scare tactics in American politics, and remarkably, it still works.
Second, you’re celebrating freedom and democracy while supporting Donald Trump, a man who has repeatedly attacked democratic institutions, entertained the idea of a third presidential term, undermined America’s international alliances, and dragged the country into a disastrous war with Iran.
This is the same man who promised to end America’s endless wars.
And here’s the greatest irony of all.
You’ve been convinced that voting Republican means defending freedom from communism, when the far more immediate threat to American democracy comes from politicians who believe the Constitution should only apply when it’s convenient for them.
That’s what makes American propaganda so extraordinarily effective. It convinces ordinary people to fear an imaginary communist takeover while ignoring the very real erosion of democratic institutions happening right in front of their eyes.
And the people who have been most successfully manipulated are often the ones most convinced they’re thinking for themselves.
MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name.
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs.
Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz.
JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman.
Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.
Mike Johnson's real first name is James.
Rand Paul is Randal Paul.
Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson.
But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?
