Again, I designed this myself, and it is made entirely in Nigeria out of 100% Nigerian fabric.
Wear made-in-Nigeria. If you wear foreign clothes or buy any foreign goods and services that Nigerians can offer, you are exporting jobs out of our beloved country and importing poverty into Nigeria. When you buy made in Nigeria, you keep jobs in Nigeria.

Even if you don't agree with my political views, I urge you to see eye to eye with me on the economics of patronising made-in-Nigeria goods and services, so we can reduce imports and grow our economy to a $1 trillion GDP.

It was an honor to receive my brother, Mr. Temitope Ajayi, the Acting High Commissioner and Charges D'Affaires of the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa in my Abuja home yesterday.
We had a fruitful & productive discussion and he briefed me fully on the unfolding events in South Africa, the situation with our returnees, the ongoing efforts to bring the rest of them home safely, the state of our bilateral relations with the South African Government, the challenges that our nationals are facing over there & the details & situation concerning the Mission itself.
I appreciate his efforts & commitment & that of his entire team including our Consul-General in South Africa, Mrs. Nini Okey-Uche, & I look forward to assuming my duties, working closely with them & taking over the affairs of the Mission at the soonest.
I am very proud of their efforts & together we shall build the bridges of love & mutual respect between our great nation & the Republic of South Africa.

Dear Mr. David Adeleke AKA @Davido,
Thank you for your feedback. I was rather surprised by your response to my post, setting the record straight on Peter Obi's false allegations against His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, regarding the repatriation of Nigerian prisoners from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
Most shocking is your insult.
You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you.
Yes, I am aware that you were upset at my appeal to you not to use an international platform, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to give publicity to bandits and terrorists. I am also aware that Peter Obi praised you for doing that, which may have made you feel compelled to defend him.
I did that because while your intention may be good and you think you are pressuring the government, the actual effect of what you did is to give publicity to the terrorists and help them spread fear, recruit new members, and raise funds.
How can you, a Nigerian citizen, with a global platform, go on a global stage to give publicity to terrorists and de-market Nigeria, meanwhile, at that same event, and on that same day, IShowSpeed, an American citizen, used his celebrity and the global stage of the World Cup to market Nigeria by wearing a Nigerian jersey and speaking well of the same country you de-marketed.
Many of us do not know what we have got.
Let me give you an example: As an American citizen, you may be aware of the October 7, 2023, abduction of 254 people by terrorists in Israel, of whom the majority were women and children, including American, British, and Canadian citizens.
There are many celebrities bigger than you in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Since October 7, 2023, these celebrities have performed on many global platforms, including the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, and the UEFA Champions League.
Yet, none of them used such platforms to say ANYTHING about the October 7 abduction because they know that publicity helps terrorists and hurts hostages.
We saw that in Nigeria. The #ChibokGirls were abducted on April 14, 2014. The then Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, revealed that the military had located the girls and were ready to rescue them.
However, after Michelle Obama held up the #BringBackOurGirls banner in May of 2014, the publicity resulted in Boko Haram separating the girls into different groups and keeping them in various camps, while increasing security around them, which made it literally impossible to rescue them.
Thereafter, Boko Haram's recruitment was boosted, and their finances exploded, and six months later, ISIS announced that they had merged with Boko Haram to form ISWAP.
That is what I was trying to explain to you. Just like Margaret Thatcher said, "publicity is the oxygen of terrorism."
It is also why the UNESCO Handbook for Journalists on Terrorism Coverage urges public figures not to grant terrorists any publicity.
I hope you now understand my point of view. Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Dear Peter Obi,
I'm afraid I have to disagree with your assessment of why there are a large number of prisoners of Nigerian origin in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
This situation is not the result of a "systemic crisis", as you put it, or any failure of the Nigerian government, and the administration of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, as you indicated.
I have been to Ethiopia over fifty times, and if you fact-check me, I have publicly advocated for these prisoners long before their rescue by the Tinubu administration.
You, on the other hand, have NEVER advocated for them. Yet, instead of appreciating the Tinubu administration for rescuing our valued citizens imprisoned in Ethiopia, you are trying to blame the President for their plight, when most of these prisoners were convicted before Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became President.
The overwhelming majority of them are in Kaliti Prison, Ethiopia, for drug-related offences.
Poor people do not buy narcotics and airline tickets for transatlantic flights.
This indicates that greed for money, rather than any failing of the Tinubu government or Nigerian society, as you implied, is responsible for their plight.
The Federal Republic of Somalia's economic and security situation is far below Nigeria's, and Somalia shares a border with Ethiopia.
If your postulation against Nigeria was correct, then Ethiopian prisons should be full of Somalians "in search of green pastures", to use your words. But that is not the case.
If you really cared about poverty, you would have built schools, but you failed to build a single nursery, primary, secondary school, or university during your eight-year tenure as Anambra Governor.
I would urge you, sir, to please refrain from politicising every issue in your desperation to become President.
If you cannot appreciate this noble gesture on the part of President Bola Tinubu and Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, then please do not complicate their as-yet unfinished work by imputing wrong motives to it.
Allow our brothers and sisters to return home without poking your nose where it does not belong.

@renoomokri Thank you very much for the reminder, Sir @renoomokri . I just finished speaking with my mum now after seeing your tweet. I missed her call yesterday.
