That’s an ignorant claim. Long before European contact, we had well-organized and powerful states.

The Ifẹ̀ and Ọ̀yọ́ empires, and later the Ibàdàn, were among the most sophisticated in West Africa, with structured governance, military systems, and thriving economies. I don't know about your ancestors, but our history is far beyond the “tiny village” narrative.

Meet Chief Owolabi Salis, the First Nigerian 🇳🇬 to travel into Space!

[𝕊𝕀𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕀𝔸ℕ𝕆 🇳🇬💐 @Sistaliano]

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu said “Buhari is me and I am Buhari,” many dismissed it as political rhetoric. They did not understand the depth of continuity in governance. 🤔

Look closely. 👇

Frame 1. The Second Niger Bridge, delivered under Muhammadu Buhari. A landmark project that broke decades of promises and finally connected a critical economic corridor. 🌉🇳🇬

Frame 2. The access roads to that same bridge, now being aggressively pushed to completion under Tinubu. Because infrastructure is not just about ribbon cutting. It is about usability, connectivity, and economic impact. 🚧🛣️

This is not coincidence. This is policy alignment. 🎯

You do not build a bridge and abandon the roads that give it meaning. That is how unserious governments behave. What you are seeing is a continuation of purpose. A government that understands that legacy is not in starting projects alone, but in finishing them properly. 💡

That is what that statement meant.

The Renewed Hope agenda is not noise. It is a progression. 📈

It is governance that builds, hands over, and builds again. 🔁🇳🇬

What is wrong with being a Yoruba Brand? Forget all the education and global experience. I am from a village in Osun State. I am a true born Yoruba man!

You don’t have a problem associating with your own people but you have a problem with me associating with Seyi Law, one of the most successful expert in his field, and @ThinkYoruba_1st, a pro-Yoruba organisation. That in itself is bigotry.

You saw the hate directed at me for years, you saw all the false accusations, you said nothing. You probably enjoyed it and encouraged it. Now it’s Tunde’s turn.

You clowns know exactly what you are doing. But we will be here to push back. Asese bere ni. Etin rin kan kan!

BREAKING 🇳🇬🧠: Lagos approves pilot proposal for geo mapped public toilet access app after Tokunbo Wahab meeting with UI graduates Adetokunbo Ogunnoiki and Ademola Gbadero, requests budget submission ahead of rollout under Cleaner Lagos initiative.

[Defense News Nigeria @DefenseNigeria]

The Nigerian Air Force has eliminated several terrorists following a precision air interdiction strike conducted on a known terrorist enclave at Yuwe in the Sambisa Forest general area.

The operation took place on April 19 at approximately 5:45 p.m., following ISR missions that confirmed active terrorist presence and identified fortified positions and suspected bunkers.

TNAF strike aircraft were subsequently vectored to the target. Upon reaching the location, pilots visually confirmed the targets and engaged them using precision guided munitions.

The strike destroyed multiple logistics facilities, including shelters and operational hideouts, and resulted in the deaths of several terrorists.

STOP FAKE NEWS

The Defence Minister stated that Türkiye has offered a training quota for 200 Nigerian Special Forces personnel in 🇹🇷, with deployments starting once he returns to Nigeria. He did not suggest that Türkiye is establishing a military training facility in Nigeria.

[Defense News Nigeria @DefenseNigeria]

Nigeria has officially become a net exporter of petrol for the first time, thanks to the output surge at the Dangote refinery in Lagos. This comes amidst the blockade in the Straits of Hormuz that has triggered one of the largest disruptions in the history of the global oil market.

This ends Nigeria's 60 year long "Crude for Fuel" era, becoming a net exporter for the first time in history. The Dangote refinery, currently the largest single train refinery in the world, now refines more than the need of Nigeria, insulating itself from supply disruptions caused by the war in Iran, exporting petrol to Mozambique, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Tanzania, Cameroon...with many countries queuing for supplies.

The movie started in Afghanistan then goes ahead to show how Marines are super soldiers but yeah no silly agenda.

[Ayobami @dondekojo]

These ones have missiles that can reach mainland US. No one disturbs them.

Iranian missiles can’t reach US, let’s bomb them

There's no way Iran struck this port.
It was 100% Israel.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The war's expanding faster than anyone's talking about stopping it.

U.S.: "We've degraded Iran's leadership and navy."

Iran: "We won't stop until our rights are recognized."

Nobody's defining what "rights" means. Nobody's negotiating. We got two sides announcing conditions while firing.

Governments are doing crisis management on oil prices instead of diplomacy on the war. Treating symptoms, not causes.

The U.S. has killed Iran's leadership, degraded military capacity, surrounded them with carriers. Still demanding unconditional surrender with no negotiation.

There is no diplomacy in sight. Just escalation with press releases.

🚨 US is dismantling its THAAD and Patriot Systems from South Korea to send it to the Middle East.

▪️ In 2017, South Korea sacrificed its diplomatic and economic relations with China to host US THAAD.

▪️ Chinese tourism to South Korea, worth billions of dollars, was abruptly stopped due to diplomatic standoff.

▪️K-Pop was banned in China.

▪️ Hyundai and Kia had to close their factories in China, ultimately losing their market shares in China.

▪️ South Korea lost billions of dollars of exports to China in order to host US THAAD and Patriot Systems.

📍Now, US has dismantled its THAAD and Patriot Missile Systems in South Korea and is sending to Middle East.

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

The US murders 165 schoolchildren in Iran and Iran gets sanctioned.

You can't make this stuff up.

[Eivor @Eivor_Koy]

Meanwhile in China, the viral White House prayer scene has turned into a full-blown social media trend. Bosses at small businesses and factories are rounding up their employees to make fun of the stunt—forming a circle, placing hands on shoulders or heads, and praying in a humorous way for “better sales, higher incomes for every worker and the whole company.”

Videos of these “prayer circles” are blowing up on Douyin and Weibo. Not sure how much divine favor the White House actually summoned, but these Chinese bosses? They straight-up turned the Oval Office prayer stunt into free global marketing gold🤣

[Demetrius Remmiegius 🇰🇪 @DemetriusRO6]

Give credit where credit's due.

In Afghanistan,

It took nearly 20 years

And $6 trillion dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

But in Iran,

It's only taken Trump

Two weeks and $10 billion

Killed 150 of Americans soldiers

And booming 160 girls in school

To replace

Supreme Leader Khamenei

With Supreme Leader Khamenei.

When you give a military operation an Epic name ,

You get “Epic” results apparently.
