One month ago today I was almost lynched to death for protesting against the killing of a young man by the Nigerian Police at Ajip.
The Police tried to arrest me after confiscating my Board but failed, they later sent street urchins to rough me up but I'm grateful to be here.

The sight of this will make many Burkinabes cry today.
When French imperialist entered what is present day Burkina Faso in 1896, they subjected the inhabitants to the worst form of treatment imaginable.
They subjected them to forced labour, enslavement, enormous taxation burden, and left them with no infrastructure whatsoever.
In fact when they left Burkina Faso, they made a proclamation that nothing good will ever come out of Burkina Faso, then called Upper Volta.
Today, the generation of the people that France humiliated a proving France wrong. They are taking full control of their destiny, and we must wholeheartedly congratulate our brothers and sisters in Faso, for the tremendous progress they are making
The problem is the assumption that people have the right to “no-religion” or “other religions”
No they don’t.
People are constantly mocked for it, ostracized from society,victimized and need I say tortured…they have been since the beginning of time.
Now let’s get particular about African religion… in the ENTIRE world, it’s only in Africa that our original religion is demonized, ridiculed, destroyed etc…by the same religion inherited or dare I say “forced upon us”
Does the Isheshe worshipper truly have the right to worship or invite people to the shrine? (Did he 100 years ago?)
How about the amadioha worshipper whose shrines and entire history has been systemically destroyed for centuries…
How about the Bantu religion?
Does the Athiest have the freedom of no religion in Nigeria or Africa? …if so can a 12 year old child tell his mother or father, “I am not going to the church or Mosque” without his parents beating him to stupor or damn near killing him?
Isn’t the agnostic referred to as a confused fellow.
Where is the freedom?
So if this evil has been perpetrated for centuries by these same religions but at the first wave of criticism they get, they are acting like victims lol.
The reality of things is that you only have freedom of religion if you are a Christian or Muslim in Nig.
(Need I mention that even inside this Christianity or Islam, some denominations are not treated as true religions and are also ostracized)🫤
The undertone btw is that our people are greatly influenced by this religion of the west & Middle East which has little or NO positive impact in the betterment of our society.
So the same fervency you and I use to advocate for better governance, we have to advocate for people to wake up, smell the coffee and realize that the Religious leaders and the Political leaders are in bed together to perpetually keep our people down.
So my doc…please make we no Dey act like say we Dey place where human rights Dey valued even by these same religionists who claim to have the highest standards of morality but their entire humanity is in the GUTTERS.
I’m fairly educated, Law Degree (2nd class UPPER -OAU), Law School Yenagoa(2/2)…and as many can tell, I’m very curious.
Yet, I never knew much about the 1967 Civil war(until recently) because it was probably only 3 pages in my Government text that attempted to detail a 3 YEAR WAR.
Did they teach much about it in law?…na, they were more interested in Lord Denning of UK.
How about Transatlantic/TransArabian Slavery…a phenomenon that only truly ended in the 20th century btw? (Still continues under G…today)
Only Last week did I find out about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a theory which explains why many of us(Nigerians & Africans) will rather keep quiet in the face of uncertainty or danger. “Let’s be safe”…(found a hack about how this applies or varies in Africa btw-Video soon)
If me, a “fairlyEducated Lawyer” is so uninformed about things that happened in my Country/Continent…how much more you who probably studied Sciences, medicine, tech, accounting etc (especially in an era where there was little to no “outside” information). How much do you think you know about it?
Can’t you see that there’s an intentional dumbing down going on here?
How are these very important things not being taught to EVERY child??…Government’s responsibility right?
So if the Government that has been proven time and time again to not care about you, keep encouraging you to stay in your religion(well they need it every election cycle anyway😏), probably the only industry that has thrived for eons…(DESPITE WHATEVER ECONOMIC SITUATION)…
Can’t you see something fishy going on here?
You are literally socially engineered to be DOCILE…and religion is number one on that list of tools of Social Influence.
I mean I always knew this was a huge factor…but only two days ago did I find out about the “Mountains of influence”…a thing that should be taught in every household, school, church, mosque and even on the streets if the government or your religious leaders actually care…because it’s that important.
So all this attempted clap back of “if it was a Burna Boy’s concert, it won’t matter” …well for weeks we have been talking about the influence of the west on Afrobeats on this app…you religious addicts probably never even said a word because you ACTUALLY DO NOT CARE.
Soooo look inward…ask questions about what happened to your FOREFATHERS. Ask questions about yourself and why your CONTINENT is so lost…Ask what ways the people who CONTROL you have been influencing you and break free from MENTAL SLAVERY.
Please, if you’re seeing this, kindly help me reshare so he can reach as many people as possible and get the support he needs. He’s currently in pain. 🙏
“There is no single secondary school in our village. Since they gave birth to us, we have never seen electricity here or even pipe-borne water. We only have one government teacher who teaches from Primary 1 to Primary 6.”

According to his fellow pupils who survived the flood, little Success Ezenwafor broke the vehicle’s window to help others escape before he was tragically swept away himself in Anambra State. He was laid to rest today.
He saved others, but sadly, no one could save him.
Rest in peace, champ. Your bravery will never be forgotten. 🕊️
Retweet to honour this little hero. 🙏
Anyway. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Idoma, Ibibio, Isoko, Ijaw, Izon, Auchi, Esan, Bini, Izhi, TiV…
We don’t have light.
Fuel is expensive.
And they are still killing people like flies in Plateau.
Agberos are still a nuisance in Lagos.
And soludo is still governor.
Died from a snakebite before she could fulfil the opportunity to sing the UEFA anthem.
A year later , Access to antisnake venom remains nonexistent in Nigerian Hospitals,
Nothing shows they learnt from their mistakes
Yet, ₦60B was spent on the Osun election.
We are not angry enough!
There should be a coalition to bring down the account of tribalist and religious bigots on this app
Like once you tweet anything that promotes religious and tribal bigotry
We drop your account and at least 6000 reports on 15 minutes
People will be scared to tweet bigotry
Honestly we need that.
No bigot deserves a space to speak in society
HAPPENED NOW IN MPAPE, ABUJA
According to eyewitnesses, trucks reportedly carrying natural resources said to be lithium, were blocked by residents who refused to let them pass. Before police start firing bullets.
ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION
I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.
I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.
I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.
Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.
Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:
As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.
When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.
Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.
The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.
The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.
The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.
This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.
The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.
The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.
Since you asked , this is what dictatorship did for me.
It will be the closest you’ve get to sovereignty
It took my foreign reserve from 493 million to 9.6 billion dollars under heavy sanctions.
Took inflation down by from 72.8% to 8.5 in two years
Was paying off almost my debt
Was setting up the strongest military power in Africa which old have made it hard for the exploiters to enter today
Was moving money outside SWIFT rails which would have enabled us build our systems eventually
Was rejecting every loan offer
Was rejecting that demonic strategy called Structural Adjustment Program
Was making sure the giant of Africa remained giant.
And what did you to it,
You reduced development metrics to food scarcity
You refused to accept that those who are talking bad about this country needed to go
You refused to follow, coz fuel scarcity is something so devastating, that could not be survived by you
You joined international powers to call it dictatorship even though the international power needed dictatorship out because it didn’t give them access
Your silence gave them concerned and they killed the dictator
It’s been over 30 years, how far.
Democracy has looted more than 600 trillion naira from Nigeria
Democracy took everything that belonged to us and privatized it
Democracy takes loans like a bitch on steroids
Democracy took our currency down by thirty four thousand (34,000%) percent.
Democracy made you believe your voice didn’t matter
Democracy shot at you when you tried speaking up
Democracy killed you at toll gate
Democracy banned you from social media
Democracy destroyed all systems such that your democratically chosen nafdac official laughs at the news of removal
Democracy made both citizens and leaders criminals just with different task
Democracy partners with evil corporations to kill your plants so you depend on GMO
Democracy accepted drugs from everyone because it’s cheap and kids in Kano died in numbers
Democracy made your women reduce themselves to marriage counselors and not leaders in energy
Democracy turned your men to charlatans and criminals
Democracy worked with America in terrorism finance and arms deal
Democracy kidnaps your kids as political pawns
Democracy takes blood from you everyday
If dictatorship were here, you wouldn’t even last a day here, you would be farming and serving your country
I apologize to dictatorship for how much we never appreciated it.
Also welcome to democracy, congrats, everyone loves you now but be careful
You have eaten too much and you might implode
For now enjoy-
Wike was on live TV telling you how the last election was decided, but when I tell you that ‘democracy’ will not save you, it becomes difficult to understand.
Awon my case is different. “Give us the solution.”
Let’s even pretend you are not intentionally ignoring the solution, which is being proffered every day, at least you have been properly informed of the problem. What do you do with that information? Nothing. You want to keep repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. That's a clear indication you are not looking for a solution.
Muammar Gaddafi had three plans that terrified the West. Not because they were violent. Because they would have made Africa free.
The first was a single African currency. Not the CFA franc, printed in Paris. A gold dinar, backed by 143 tons of Libyan gold, designed to give African oil producers an alternative to the dollar and the franc . Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails confirm it. Sid Blumenthal wrote to her on April 2, 2011: Gaddafi’s gold “was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc” .
The second was a United States of Africa. One government. One passport. One military force of two million soldiers to defend the continent . Gaddafi outlined it in detail at the AU Executive Council in Tripoli in 2009. He said Africa must forbid all war—civil, tribal, or over borders. He said African youth were drowning in the Mediterranean, leaving behind the paradise that is Africa .
The third was a single African military. Two million soldiers. Not to invade anyone. To make sure no foreign power could ever bomb an African capital with impunity again .
He was the only African leader with the oil money and the political will to build the infrastructure of continental sovereignty.
NATO bombed Libya for 217 days. The gold dinar died with him. The United States of Africa is still a speech. The two-million-strong army was never formed.
What replaced it? A fractured state. Rival governments. Militias. Slave markets. And a coastline where the EU funds a coast guard that sends Black migrants back to camps the UN calls “a violent business model.”
They killed the man who wanted to unite Africa. Then they made sure Africa would never unite without him.
