I write this with pain in my heart.
On April 23, 2026, I bought a car on loan after trading in my former car, which had become a constant source of problems. I still had an outstanding balance of ₦4.5 million to pay.
On April 28, 2026, I was taken away by the Nigerian Army under the guise of DSS officials. For three days in their custody, I was subjected to treatment that left deep scars on me physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Throughout those three days, I remained handcuffed and blindfolded. During the day, I was left under the scorching sun for hours without water. I begged and cried for water, but nobody gave me any. At night, I was kept in an extremely cold room where I would cry and plead for help, but no one responded. I also received random slaps from unidentified individuals.
Even after the court granted me bail, the trauma did not end. I still wake up suddenly at night, struggling to sleep as memories of those days continue to haunt me.
What breaks my heart even more is that the car I bought on loan was damaged. Sometimes I ask myself: what exactly did I do to deserve such treatment?
My only “offence” was speaking up and asking that my brothers and sisters serving in the military should be properly fed and cared for.
Today, I can truly say that Nigeria happened to me.
But despite everything, one thing remains certain:
Justice can never be cracked.
“Our goal is to take power into our own hands. In time, Abia will be disconnected from the national grid and enjoy 24-hour electricity supply” — Governor Alex Otti
Do you remember Chidera Ikeoha, the youngster we found inside motor parks selling his book he wrote to feed and support his family?
Public donations for his book were channeled toward his education. The remaining funds will see him through to graduation.
We moved him from a public school and enrolled him in a private school in Enugu.
He is currently in SS1 and will enter SS2 in September.
Chidera is an A student determined and focused.
Supporting his education was a brilliant decision.
We have a star on our hands.
There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.
Ndigbo, this just happened in your homeland, in the vicinity of Ishiagu & Awgu, central Igboland. Who did it & number of casualties are all in the video. It’s indeed another tragedy.
As someone living under a US-backed dictatorship, I can tell you this is how it begins. 2 years and 21 State of Exceptions later, we’re ruled by perpetual martial law with Pentagon bombs, sexual torture, military checkpoints, activists starved, waterboarded or disappeared by soldiers. A little DEA operation turns into the opening of an entire FBI Office in our capital, the military killing protesters at a general strike turned into targeted assassination plots on indigenous labor activists, a few visits from a U.S. Envoy turns into U.S. boots-on-the-ground operations where campesinos are electrocuted. Ecuador has lived all of this already: the hijacking of a once socialist nation literally beat into a Yankee colony. We cannot let it happen to our sister nation of Bolivia too.

Gradually, we will be the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years.
Corporate Colonialism Is Hiding in Plain Sight
Global corporations like Nestlé have spent decades selling themselves as brands that care about nutrition and children’s health, but their actions in African markets tell a different story.
From sugar-filled baby cereals sold to African children to stronger cigarettes, ultra-sugary drinks, and unethical pharmaceutical trials, products and practices that would face serious scrutiny in Europe are marketed and normalized in Africa. This is corporate colonialism in practice: global companies extracting profit from African markets while giving African consumers lower standards than they give the West.
It is a global corporate system that treats African consumers as less deserving of safety, regulation, and protection. Our continent cannot continue to be the dumping ground for lower standards. If a product is unhealthy for children in Europe, then African children deserve the same protection.
