When the Naira redesign policy happened and politicians were starved of money, when the people protested, this same politicians supported it, infact some governors publicly asked their citizens to disobey the president then. Some of these governors never stopped protest in their state, infact they welcomed the protests with their rhetorics, this happened February 2023.
Recently, the media was awash with a comment of disappointment credited to Alhaji Aliko Dangote, where he said that one of his wealthy friends who earlier discouraged him from investing in Nigeria, now mocks him,
I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70+ year-olds their:
• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self
Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…
Here are my 8 favourite:
Yesterday, I read my dear brother Kenneth Okonkwo's open letter in which he expressed differing views with me on the skirmishes in our party. And today I saw various responses to the letter.
I hear Pointus Pilate the Mass Murderer is touting a laundry llist of properties that were allegedly destroyed by #EndSARS protesters.
I can now say this openly:
I was in the middle of my campaign for the Lagos East Senatorial District Bye-election when the protests broke out.
I had to keep going during the protests, holding meetings and such. On one of those movements, I went to Ikorodu and had to go on foot from Itowolo to Ogolonto junction, where the protesters had a PA system and a makeshift stage.
I passed amongst them and even though I tried to disguise, I was recognised by some of the youths and asked to address them, which I did briefly before I went in my way.
Yes, they were loud and vociferous about government putting a stop to the harassment and murders by @PokiceNG officers, BUT they were VERY PEACEFUL.
On my birthday, I went to see a prominent Oyo State politician in company of another Lagos politician and some of my aides in Ìbàdàn. We encountered protesters, walking and biking from New Garage, through challenge to Avoid and there was no violence. Noise, yes, but no violence
On our return to Lagos, we had to abandon the car at Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, and WALK through the protesters, who were camped at the Lateef Jakande Road/Awolowo Way Junction. Again, noise, but no violence.
The violence started when thugs suddenly started showing up in BRT Buses that were hitherto unavailable to Lagos taxpayers for transport.
It is a matter of public record that an APC politician was recorded on video SHOOTING into a crowd of protesters, killing two and injuring several, at Abule Egba.
The young journalist that captured and posted the video was later arrested and murdered in detention by @PoliceNG. They will deny it, and foolishly demand evidence of their crime, but the fact remains that the last time he was seen alive, he was in their custody.
Several men of the @PoliceNG were caught on camera DURING the protests, SHOOTING, Killing and brutalising protesters and non-protesters alike.
Just as @jidesanwoolu
DENIED giving the order to murder protesters singing the National Anthem and waving the flag of Nigeria at the #LekkiTollGateMassacre and was later EXPOSED as a LIAR by @HQNigerianArmy officers testifying at the Official Inquiry, I fully expect him to issue pompous, blustering denials about sponsoring the violence that led up to that massacre on #20102020.
The internet is awash with videos of some of the incidents I have described above and more, and I would appreciate it if Nigerians posted those videos in the comment section.

Seeing your parents grow old and still hustling to make ends meet but you can’t give them the life they deserve because you are also struggling is a different kind of hurt.

If you want to build consistency as an entrepreneur
- Remove complexity
- Document systems
- Outline a strategy.
When you optimise for success, it comes naturally.
Harsh reality:
When you're rich
Everyone wants to help you.
