Dear TwitterNG, for the first time in my 15 years+ on this app, I NEED YOUR HELP 😭
I actually didn’t want to do this but I have no other choice than to carry this matter on my head 🤧. I don’t have Twitter Blue, so I’ll make this into a thread. Please hear me out and help RT 🤲
FUN FACT
THE ONTARIO TEACHERS’ PENSION PLAN INVESTED $300 MILLION INTO SPACEX IN 2019
THAT STAKE IS NOW WORTH $16 BILLION
NEARLY A 5,200% RETURN IN 7 YEARS
THIS MAY GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS EVER MADE BY A CANADIAN PENSION FUND

Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
Did you know? Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola all played for the same boys’ club 😲
The incredible story of how three teammates from San Sebastian all came to manage top Premier League clubs 👇
I personally want Obi as Nigeria’s president so people can see that you can be upright, be respectful, be a Nigerian, be law-abiding, have no criminal case and still win in Nigeria. Obi’s presidency is good for Nigeria’s moral compass.
🚨 Éderson was woken up this Sunday with a series of calls from the CBF staff, informing him that he had been chosen by Carlo Ancelotti and that he needed to catch a flight as quickly as possible to the United States.
The midfielder was in Campo Grande, the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, to attend the wedding of Rômulo, a defensive midfielder with whom he had played at Cruzeiro.
Éderson packed his bags and headed to the airport to start the trip to the United States, with an expected arrival in the early morning of this Monday.

Kevin Prince-Boateng said that when he joined the Black Stars, he wondered if the players were dancers or footballers.
This video describes what he meant.
He looked so disinterested. 😭😆
Hmmm!
Chris Ante, the President of Youth Wing of the Oron Union, is dead?
This man (seen on face cap and jacket asking me who my father is in Akwa Ibom State) led thugs in 2017 to attack me and other peaceful protestors at the Akwa Ibom State Laison office in Lagos during our protest against the wasteful and senseless construction of a new Akwa Ibom Governor’s lodge in Lagos State by Udom Emmanuel.
They disrupted the protest, journalists were not spared.
Life is really transient.
May God forgive his transgressions.
We will all be gone some day, we should live a purposeful, honest and conscientious life while on earth.
I don't go around broadcasting it, but I was one a kidnap victim and it's not an experience I pray for anyone.
Not even APC supporters because I've seen someone killed in front of me because she pleaded with the terrorists.
I've seen countless ladies raped and then raped again and again until they lost all zeal to live.
These people aren't human but worst than goats.
But you know the funny thing, the dirty people you're seeing online, these dirty dogs are not the real threat.
These dogs are only allowed to do what they want because they're the foot soldiers of the masters.
The real threats are the educated religious leaders who coordinate the whole operation..
Those people will never show their face on camera. But they are always there controlling everything.
We need to put a stop to this rampant terrorism in Nigeria.
