You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
You had government backing and still couldn't convince enough people to back you in your small constituency..
You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident..
You spent 8yrs with the ex president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty stricken community..
We all have different trophies Bashir, I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs.
The increasing use of federal institutions to disrupt governance in opposition states in Nigeria is condemnable. As I said in my last newsletter, no government is above scrutiny but when institutions like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are utilised to witch hunt specific states or public office holders, it indicates that their investigations are selective and erodes public trust in these institutions.
The “freezing” of an official state government account without due legal process goes beyond the powers vested in the EFCC by the laws of our land. And the timing of the action suggests that this is just another attempt by the federal government to unduly influence the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
Federal institutions must remain faithful to their constitutional mandate by acting with fairness, professionalism and political neutrality at all times. We therefore call on all Nigerians, civil society organisations and the international community to remain vigilant. Democracy cannot thrive where our institutions are perceived as instruments of political intimidation. Protecting the independence and credibility of our institutions is essential to preserving public trust and safeguarding Nigeria's democracy. The rule of law must prevail over the rule of politics.

“I honestly find it unreasonable that a Nigerian Muslim who has all the options in this world to enroll their child in a school that aligns with their faith and beliefs will go ahead and register their child in a Christian/Catholic school, then want to enforce hijab rights.”
Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident
The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.
The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.
Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.
On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.
During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.
But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.
I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.
I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.
Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.
I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.
The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.
Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Hey everyone, Bayo Onanuga told you the Tinubu government didn't know about that agency.
But way back in 2015, they were already using it to funnel money through fake projects, overseas training, and events worldwide.
It was a total free-for-all for them. Just imagine something, write a memo, and the money's approved and split among them. This isn't the only agency like this; there are tons more.
The Chief of Staff, SGF, CBN, NASS Leadership, and others all have their own agencies that give them monthly kickbacks.
This is just the beginning... I hope your notification bell is ON.
You've got to help make sure corruption is totally wiped out in Nigeria, and you can do your part by sharing this post so 500k Nigerians see it.
Let's go...
1.3 billion naira released to a fake agency in Nigeria but 36 million was released to the Ministry of Health.
They prioritize stealing over your well-being.
The APC.
Now that you people are done with your akara Ai content here is my take.
Tinubu and his wife does not rate Nigerians because we are foolish, both the educated and uneducated. You guys talked about Olodo uprising but you are the real Olodo, this woman made a fool of everybody and you guys turned it into a joke, something that should create range and anger became a thing of fun.
At least the past generation will hit radio stations and television stations to insult them in anger but we have both radio and television on our palm which is phone, instead of cursing her out, you took it like a normal thing and hit Ai and on tripod to start creating content with it.
We deserve this government because we are stup!d and take everything for granted.
Just know that Social media money cannot fix the country, if a country is doomed, its citizens are doomed. You cannot trend your way out of a broken system.
Elon musk money, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok money can’t save you, if the ship sinks, everyone on board goes down with it, so keep creating a niche out of our misery.
