To disregard constructive criticism is clear arrogance. Reason why I'm of the school of thought that #conscience is one's self judge.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

Some of you are blurring the lines between casual sex and relationship. If you can't do relationship, stick to casual/paid sex. If you can't do casual/paid sex, stick to relationship.

This idea that you are not loved enough or you are being cheated if your man is not paying for your time, is a very nonsense mentality that only happens here. Your man should not be paying for your transport to go and see him. You are going to see your man whom you claim to love. Many of you sre using relationship for street. To outsiders, you have a man, but you know you are there to get paid. You should be excited to go see him, and spending your money to do that should naturally give you satisfaction. You even want to be paid for your time there because in your head, he had sex with you and if he loves you, he should give you money. Are you selling the sex or not? Stick to one script.

It is called love making because two people in love are having sex. Anytime you monetize intimacy and companionship, the love is absent. You know this bevsuse you know you do not love him. NOBODY under heaven wants to be paid for sex by someone they love.

If you are billing your man for spending time with you, you are a terrible person. That one needs to be said because some of you are taking pride doing it and shaming those not doing it as "forming good girl." You are terrible. It is not a flex. Similarly you are are not different for not asking if you still expect to be paid. Love comes with responsibility. To love is to GIVE. You cannot be expecting to be paid for your time. Are you rendering a service?

This is why it is much better dealing with foreigners. Someone in love juat want to love and be loved. Spending time with you is the love in and of itself. She pays her transport/drive to your place, bring you gift and still chooses to share the bills because love is responsibility. The guy does same because it is a two way street. Every action is motivated by "I love him" not "make I chop him money." The ones doing casual sex just wants to fuck. They transport themselves to you and get enough fuck and everyone is happy. If you offer her money for any reason, she would take offence because you are now calling her what she isn't. You'll end up begging and explaining if you no want problem. The ones selling sex are upfront about it and will tell you they expect to be paid and how much. In all of these, there is consent and clarity. Nobody will claim they don't know what they are doing.

I do not have problem with casual or paid sex. I've said it countless times. In fact, I also encourage it because it is a societal necessity and it is also 100 times better than the monetized relationship you people are doing. I have a problem with blurring the lines between relationship and casual/paid sex. Dont bring paid sex mentality into relationship. Relationship is for lovers. You are there to give. It is the love you give that you deserve. People into paid sex can factor their transportation into their service charge. That does not apply in relationship. This thing is just common sense.

To wrap up, there are ladies in Nigeria who do casual sex with you because they like you and see you as mature, and you cannot offer them money because you both know it is disrespectful. You are simply helping each other satisfy urges and respecting what yourselves and what you share. I had to say this so they know we are not grouping everyone together. The difference between this and relationship is love and commitment. Note that, it is very okay if you want to be paid for your time, just be honest about it upfront, not keeping quiet and dying from unfulfilled entitlement. This does not apply to relationship. Relationship is for lovers and love comes with responsibility.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I bookmarked this to respond later. I think I have about 5 mins to weave my thoughts.

If religion didn't exist, the North would have skinned all her politicians alive - home by home.

At the core of Nigeria's working engine as a business, is a simplistic architectural design woven by the trifecta compact of religion, politics & culture.

None of these individual units from the trifecta can function by itself. Religion needs politics, politics needs culture.

All of these individual units are important for the Nigerian people to remain a certain way, for Nigeria to work - for some people.

The reason why certain Christians get abroad and stop going to church altogether is because they discovered that most of the requests the Nigerian church made us pray for, are basic amenities we lacked because of terrible governance.

The church has a market to sell, which is the merchandise of hope but for that merchandise to be relevant, the political beampoint has to do its part - keep policies in place that make sure the people keep seeking hope.

If policies work, everything runs, the ordinary Nigerian can feed, provide and slowly scale upwards the Maslow's hierarchy of needs - the hopeless wouldn't need the church.

If wicked policies run long enough, sometimes the hopeless might seek to speak up - that's where tradition and culture comes in. They create a taper of morality that forbids rebellion.

Sometimes they work hand in hand with religion but the goal is simple - make sure people don't and can't speak. Trap them under the guilt of rebellion. Repeatedly echo that leaders are "appointed by God".

This my friend, is the machinery that has ensured the wheels of the weaponization of poverty run smoothly.

This is a complex conversation we keep avoiding, a conversation that spotlights the instructive elements in a social experiment, like Nigeria, that keeps people chained.

Fire is good - good to cook, good to warm but fire once razed down the entire city of London. This is my point.

Religion is one of the paradoxical social tools that has entrenched into the fibres of our humanity.

As much as it is designed to enforce good, it's been responsible for a lot of bad.

As much as it liberates, it imprisons.

It unites communities, while demonizing others.

The destructive part about this social experiment is that, it is not forceful. Despite its design, it makes you feel like you're willing participants.

As long as you're within, you'll think you're wearing bangles - but people outside the matrix can see visible chains.

It is difficult to step into the awareness of these operational standpoints and not be consistently angry. It is not difficult. It is impossible.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

Never in the history of world leadership, have any President granted pardon to 70 drug criminals at once.

Not even in Colombia with certain leadership having deepened ties with the Medellin cartel, in Mexico with the Sinaloa cartel or Italy with the Sicilian Mafia.

Another first for Nigeria.

So, when you ask yourself why a man who presumably had eveything - would steal, maim, coerce, bribe his way into power. You know the answer now.

He has kept his goals simple to immortalizing his name at the core of the nation's symbolic representations, repaying all his previous cronies with unquestionable access to whatever is left of the nation's treasuries - even made his personal lawyer Lord and ruler over the electoral body.

Dozens of criminals and gang empire leads are roaming the streets now, dozens that the obviously crumbling security architecture of the country has spent the last decades prosecuting - because he has favors to pay back.

Bola has set the nation on an irrecoverable slope and obviously there's nothing cowards like me can do - but at this moment, I can only consciously turn to posterity.

When all is said and done - and our children document our chronicles, let it be said that I didn't stamp feet in solidarity behind the drug lord on the bias of tribal lines.

When the truth needed to be said, consciousness needed to be raised - I didn't keep quiet and form apolitical.

Let those chronicles certify that I had no hands or voice in support of wriggly Pablo.

When Bola had 1 million enemies, I was there.
When Bola had 100,000 enemies, I was there.
When Bola had 100 enemies, I was there.
When Bola bought everyone to his side & there was only one enemy standing alone across the fence - that motherfucker was me.

[Arinze Odira @CaptainArinze]

Stay away from hope stealers. The ones who never see anything good in life. The ones who think success is only for a select few. The ones who don't believe big things can come from small places. The ones who carry endless negative energy.

Protect your hope. It’s a beautiful thing.

[Arinze Odira @CaptainArinze]

I have grown close to one of the receptionists at this hotel. I didn't see him for a week, only to learn he went on vacation to a country in South America. He showed me pictures of himself and his friends having the best time of their lives. That's what happens in society where people earn a decent living.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, too many hardworking people can't even afford a weekend getaway. We deserve a system where honest work gives people a good life.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct

One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:

sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.

Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.

These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

It's not the gulf in standard of living between Nigeria and the industrialised world that bothers me. What terrifies me is the growing gulf between other African countries and Nigeria - that's the one that terrifies me.

Because that's the one that it is impossible to hide from.

I wish more Nigerians could see the world through my eyes and become similarly terrified at how the people they share common looks, ancestry and geography with are evolving into another civilisation entirely without them.

But I'm just one man yelling into a void. This won't change anything. Whoever programmed my people into being this hard-headed and egotistical really did something. That person should receive the Nobel Prize for social engineering.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

The only thing I have to add to Nigeria's internal political conversation concerning 2027 is this:

Whether the vehicle you people eventually agree on is Peter Obi or Atiku or coalition or whatever, you must prepare to carry out strategic violence. Because casting votes alone will not remove Jabba The Hutt from that office. Voting is only 35% of the job, and the ruling puppets have NO INTENTION of respecting your "votes." I can tell you that for free.

You have my word.

Whatever melodrama they are staging is for the sole purpose of sucking you into doing a live-action repeat of 2023 when you won the election and lost the objective of the election - to remove cancer called APC from Aso Rock. The last election that this APC pestilence won in Nigeria was 10 years ago. They did not win in 2019, and they certaintly did not win in 2023. It made no difference. So if you want to reclaim Nigeria from these flesh-eating bacteria, you have to make the vote meaningful by adding strategic violence to back it up.

That's what the Ghanaians did last year and I gained a new level of respect for them. No unnecessary social media cho cho cho, no Twitter spaces, no fiery newspaper columns, no noise whatsoever. I was in Addis Ababa during the Ghanaian election monitoring it closely, and I feared it would play out like 2023 in Nigeria - one result at the polling booth, a different result at the collation centre, a fraudulent announcement, and ultimately a fraudulent court judgment and then everybody grumbles and goes home.

Instead, these Ghanaians that you see smiling and bantering with you on the TL (very silent and deadly people by the way) had created offline networks and closed groups to carry out strategic enforcement of their electoral will on election night. They were prepared for everything - fake ballot papers that were pre-thumbprinted for the incumbents, incumbent party agents trying to bully collation centre operatives, even the incumbent party's efforts to manipulate the media narratives - all of these things were shut down with real physical violence where necessary.

Men properly collected that night.

And this is my key takeaway: when it became clear to the uniformed men with guns that it was either they side with the ruling party and risk causing an uncontrollable nationwide riot, or allow the will of the people prevail and still have a country tomorrow, they did the reasonable thing - because ultimately they are rational humans too. That is actually the key to winning the colonial bullshit we call "elections" in Africa.

You have to give the uniformed gun-holders a reason to recognise your victory, and force them to make a decision.

Nobody in Nigeria gave them that decision to make in 2023, and that's why Jabba The Hutt is your president. So if you actually want anything to change in 2027, be more like the Ghanaians. Less cho cho cho, fewer Twitter spaces about obvious things that everybody already knows, no public platforms to expose your plans to the whole world so they can neutralise them, less impotent fire breathing, less waiting aimlessly for Tinubu's FBI files that you will not do anything with when they come out, and more silent, controlled, and methodical violence. No need for noise. Just action.

That is the only way you won't waste your time and PVC in 2027. It's not by going on the internet and using Peter Obi's name as a talisman or engagement bait. My job is to tell you the truth.

Whether you choose to listen is up to you entirely.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

Moving forward, my wake up routine is simple.

- Confirm that I'm still breathing,

- Open Twitter,

- Tweet "PETER OBI IS COMING",

- Check if my erection is still intact, because Obi has to come before I come. 🙂‍↔️

- Prepare for work.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

This is the recently approved budget by the National Assembly.

If my mathematics isn't off, 1477 streetlights is projected to be erected, with unit value of ₦266 MILLION per streetlight.

1,477 streetlight for ₦400B, $260M.

No APC Politician should be walking freely. None.

The useless celebrities you support fraternize with these thieves and you'll call the people who call out their associations "bullies"?

You don't even know where your next meal will come from and these thieves are pocketing 266M naira per streetlight?

Are you people cursed? What kind of country is this?

[Mazi Nathan @rukky_nate]

I used to believe it was foolish to carry your 20m naira and japa.

But today, that belief feels naïve. Because what do you call a country where the president borrows over $6.45b from the world bank in just 16 months in office, yet hospitals are graveyards, schools are ruins, armed bandits and terrorist pillage and kill with impunity, and the poor can’t afford to eat?

Where the President lives in obscene luxury, and approved 10bn for a solar mini-grid at Aso Rock while citizens drown in hunger, joblessness, and despair?

This isn’t just economic mismanagement—this is sheer wickedness.

The naira is collapsing daily. Fuel is unaffordable. Electricity is a myth. Food and transportation are now luxuries. Corruption isn’t hidden anymore; it’s televised and celebrated.

Education and healthcare is in shambles, yet lawmakers gift themselves bulletproof SUVs. And when we speak, they silence us with arrogance and impunity and unleash waves of propaganda in response.

So yes, I’ve changed my mind. Not out of convenience, but desperation. Nigeria has become a burning house, and escape is no longer betrayal—it is survival. If japa gives our children a chance at a better life, safety, and opportunities to bloom then we must leave because staying here is silent suicide.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I know I'm you people's worst nightmare because I'm the house negro that went off-script. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this.

I grew up as a typical African bourgeoisie disconnected from reality, I went to university in the UK, I got nominated for a @StateIVLP - why would I choose to leave the house and enter the plantation when I had a nice, warm bed in master's basement?

And because you can't understand how I was capable of making such a choice, you fear me, and you try to smear me with every stupid accusation under the sun. And you know what? You're right to be scared of me. I am your worst nightmare.

I'm the house negro who has taken your education and your platforming and your training, and gone rogue with it for the benefit of my people in the field. Fakunle the shy INTERAF scholar from 1973 and Ekaite the meek US Embassy secretary from 1978 were not supposed to give birth to an independent-minded menace, but here we are.

Unapologetic converted field negros like me exist, and you're going to watch us thoroughly beat you, and you're going to hate every moment of it, and then your oyibo empire is going to die. And we will urinate on its gravestone and post the video on TikTok.

Today, it is with humility and a great sense of honour that I thank each and every one of the 166 WTO members for the consensus they achieved in supporting my reappointment! Thank you for the wonderful words of recognition and support. I don’t take this lightly. I also want to thank my colleagues in the Secretariat Staff for their dedication and hard work.

This is an enormous responsibility and I will redouble my efforts to work with each and every member to try and deliver the results this organization needs, including the necessary reforms to make it fit for 21st century challenges. We’ve done it before, we can do it again! I am also grateful to my family, my country, to the Africa Region, and to all my friends and colleagues from all over the world who have reached out with hundreds of congratulatory messages. Thank you for the recognition!

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

One of the most pathetic situations to experience in life is to not know what you don't know. It's even worse when there exists an entire media, academic and civil society echo chamber that feeds and repeats nonsense to you, so that in addition to not knowing what you don't know, you also *think* you know what you in fact, have zero idea about.

And it's exactly the situation Nigerians are in. Our media, civil society, and academia have spent decades pumping Western talking points into our heads and telling us that these talking points are the problems that we should concern ourselves with. They've told us for decades that our problems are "corruption," "ethno-tribalism," and "religious extremism," so we have internalised these claims without questioning.

Meanwhile, when examined in context, every single one of these things is a bloody symptom of the same underlying problem - P-O-V-E-R-T-Y! When the economy is too small and people have to survive amid scarcity, THAT is when people remember who is from what ethnic group. When the economy was booming between 2003 and 2015, who remembered who was Yoruba or Fulani or Ijaw or Igbo? Who cared?

When the economy is too small and is not creating sufficient wealth to keep a growing population fed, clothed, and housed, THAT is when funny religious cults and extremist groups start gaining ground, and people start wasting 20 of their 168 hours a week inside church to mentally escape from their problems and/or submit desperate petitions for divine economic intervention. When the economy was booming, civil engineers were building warehouses and office buildings, not church auditoriums and religious communes.

When the economy is distressed and fast shrinking, and people can no longer see any evidence that prosperity can be achieved through honest work, THAT is when "corruption" becomes a national epidemic. When the economy was booming and there was work to do, you did not see people opening "Yahoo academies" because young men had better things to do. When the economy was booming in the 1970s and between 2003 and 2015, "corruption" did not stop things from getting built. A booming economy means that even with "corruption," the state provides 30%, 50%, or 70% value for what it spends. A dead economy means that even if the state provides 100% value, it is 100% of zero.

Literally the ONLY problem Nigeria has is how to grow the fucking economy! How to build roads, schools, hospitals, railways, housing, sewers, water treatment facilities, power stations, dams, pipelines, factories, ports, business districts, malls, BRT systems...how to ensure that high tech, high-energy manufacturing takes place on a large scale; how to ensure that Nigeria starts consuming at least 140,000MW of electricity; how to ensure that money and goods circulate rapidly and efficiently enough for people to prosper.

Every other thing that any journalist or foreign-funded civil society idiot in Abuja says is a problem, is just a *symptom* of this - or a fucking distraction. And unfortunately many people in Nigeria get generously paid by the usual oyibo suspects to sell distractions to their people. Which is why they all ganged up on the president who was delivering 7% annual GDP expansion and accused him of "corruption."

Now the economy has halved a decade later, and everybody who has anything to offer has left Nigeria to deal with the poverty that 2015 successfully baked in for at least another generation. Well, almost everybody - the Abuja civil society people are still around.

Donor fund scammers no dey experience bad economy.
