See hospitals, schools, electricity, and infrastructure funds melted into jewelry. Nigerian leaders have turned the people’s future into their personal luxury. Wickedest people on earth
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
@ekun_d1@lugandium@UnkleAyo There was a time Iganmode was number 1, they lost it when the principal “Babasanya” left to establish his own school, “Ota Total Academy”. They topped the charts for a long time too
To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.
This is an admission of the violation.
I don’t interview guests to embarrass them. I interview them to test arguments. If an explanation can’t withstand scrutiny, the public deserves to know.
Comparing a fake agency scandal - along with a governance breakdown involving official institutions - to 9/11 isn’t an answer, it’s a distraction.
9/11 was a catastrophic terrorist attack. What Nigerians are asking about is institutional accountability. Those are not the same conversation. When we blur them, we don't illuminate the truth - we detract from it. There's a difference between explaining a failure, and excusing one.
Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s clear many of us still believe in one simple thing: asking hard questions, and refusing to let bad analogies replace accountability.
Journalism isn't about winning arguments. It's about refusing to let bad arguments replace accountability. That’s the job!
Keep throwing nylon and plastic into the gutter.
Then when the rain comes and your street floods, you’ll say, Nigeria happened.
Some of the things happening to us, na us dey do ourselves.
Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi said he paid ₦400 million toward a ₦600 million deal for the appointment (to become DG) and that Gbajabiamila demanded 48% of the agency’s take off grant.
I don't even know if I should laugh or cry at this point.
@theoceanblooms Fun fact: The surgeons who operated on Koné saw the injury happen on TV and drove to the hospital to get ready to operate.

FIFA’s broadcast cameras appeared to avoid showing this moment, likely due to rules around political gestures and protests.
But today, Lumumba covered his mouth and mimed a gun to his head in a powerful protest against the silence surrounding the conflict in eastern DR Congo.
One of the world’s most active crises has displaced thousands, and he used the World Cup stage to make sure people could not look away.
This is what true influence looks like. 🇨🇩👏
These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.
They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
These are the names I could copy:
