Dear men,

It impresses upon my soul to reshare my thoughts.

I've read so much about Diogenes but one quote of his that massively influenced my value system, reads:

"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little".

It imprinted upon my soul for a long time, especially as someone that's ambitious.

Friends, verily I say unto you:

Ambition is good but nothing is more frustrating to a man that for him to exist at the edge of a precipice where there are more factors out of his control, than within his control.

Endless chase in ambition without a defined scope is outside your control & with every season you have a new high to chase without a moment to enjoy where you are.

It becomes easy to discard your present as a valley as you glare at a new high, forgetting that your current valley used to be a mountaintop you aspired to.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, have a number in mind. Especially as an ambitious person, have a number in mind.

The endless pursuit of ambition will leave you with a hollow soul. It will strip you of the beauty of momentary happiness, satisfaction of wins & incredible undervaluation of how far you've come.

As a young hustling man, it is important that you define what happiness and success looks like for you, and to do so early on.

The ultimate question now becomes - Are you in control of your dreams? Or are your dreams in control of you?

The answer to this question is a predictor of your future happiness or lack thereof.

I hope my writing found you well.

As you were.

I've always maintained:

Religious title bearers using the umbrella of religion to branch into politics, are always worse off than their non-religious counterparts.

The Pastors who are governors in Nigeria today are unbelievably useless.

Case studies: Akwa Ibom & Benue.

Hope you folks noted the election result in Germany

The victory of the AfD and what it says about where Europe is headed

Also note the rise of Marine Le Pen's National Rally party

If France and Germany tilt right, then the window and option of leaving the problem of Africa by emigrating starts to close. US has already closed.

Africans have to fix Africa

Let me tell you a strategy they're deploying.

A lot of the people on this list have "casted" - not many names surprised me. The only names that surprised me are Alabi Lawrenz, Oloye, Ejikem.

But these people aren't the ones doing the "dirty work" - let's call them "the enforcers".

They'll be responsible for creating small WhatsApp group pockets of bottom feeders, the ones getting 150-300 per tweet. So let's do the numbers.

300 enforcers × 300-500 per enforcer online nuisances "arguing constructively" every day with you. That's 150,000 paid bots on weekly payroll.

Those are the ones you should be worried about. They are your mutuals with "it's just easy money, no one really cares about my opinion". With that online size, any kind of narrative can be enforced.

This list is to give enforcers public validation.

That's why - once you smell any degree of APC apology, mute and block.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I'm not even an influencer but barely 2 wks ago, I walked away from 7fig on the table from an APC federal bigwig to start driving Tinubu-centred narrations ahead of 2027.

It was a long list of names. Surprised my name was there.

& btw, they've onboarded some of your lovelies.

@Wizarab10 Lmaooo. Just this morning, someone commented on a post with me and my bike.

"After this one will be talking as if he has Lamborghini".

Everything in that society is tied to depths of pocket, especially opinions.

Very low vibrational group of people.

Before I bought my first Apple phone when it became inevitable that I had one, I made a decision never to buy one. I will tell you why.

But first, why did I eventually get one? You see, being on the media side of events and artist management you are always going to be in spaces where everyone uses an iPhone, and the fastest way to share media (the media materials you need to work with on the go) is via AirDrop. So I eventually got one.

But before then, I said I was never going to get one. Why? That was my own way of rebelling against the classism Dickson talks about here. People would walk up to me for no reason and go, “Baba, you don pass this Android.” They had no other reason to push me to buy an iPhone other than their unsolicited opinion about my status. It always annoyed me. Like, “na you go tell me wetin I don pass, abi you dey craze.” My status and its associated symbols are mine to decide, not yours. You cannot be embarrassed on my behalf. I no send you market.

Yeah. Classism is real here. Stupid one o.

@dabe_og Wow, seems you have it down to a science at this point 😂

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

The capacity of your state to offer you quality and affordable services is intentionally weakened so that the bulk of your public services is left in the hands of capitalist vultures.

This economic structure extracts the wealth in your country and funnels most of it to those at the top of the pyramid, the Elumelus, the Dangotes, the Otedolas, that’s after the ones funneled to Paris, London, Washington Brussels etc, leaving the vast majority of you in abject misery. They steady balling, while you stay busy blaming each other. Even worse that you worship them.

Receive sense today in Jesus name.

United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould announced that Lukman Owolabi Ganiyu, a former Senior Immigration Services Officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Adeniyi Akeem Somoye were arrested on federal charges for their roles in an alleged multi‑year scheme to receive illegal gratuities in exchange for manipulating and expediting immigration applications.
A federal criminal complaint filed Aug. 31, charges the duo with conspiracy to receive illegal gratuities by a public official. Federal agents arrested both on Sept. 2.

WAEC conducted a staff recruitment exam yesterday and experienced another terrible glitch.

The same system was used during the last WAEC exam for students, which had major glitches, and the management is still in denial.

WAEC’s current systems and processes need to be independently audited.

Dear APC, report me anywhere

2027 is for gloves off,

“ALL IS FAIR”

You can’t be destroying lives and also be making the rules on how the people fight back and make you stop destroying lives

[Daniel Somtochukwu @Somtolism7]

We will never stop showing the world what happened in the South-East.

This is a village where civilians live. Yet footage appears to show Nigerian soldiers firing heavy machine guns toward residential houses homes where unarmed people could have been inside.

Who gave anyone the right to turn civilian communities into targets? The world must see, and there must be accountability.

First time I’m seeing Monday Okpebholo read. I was so proud and happy until I saw the book was upside down 😭.

[Samuel Omogor @SamuelOmogor]

At some point, Nigerians will raise up to fight the system with everything they have because the country can not continue like this.

How can citizens buy flight tickets, a 5:30 PM flight, @flyairpeace will wait till the minute the flight was supposed to be taken off and announce casually to waiting passengers that the flight has been shifted to 8: PM? By 8:PM another shift and so on till around midnight and you tell the passengers that the flight has been canceled? And in all these, not even a sachet of pure water for the passengers. There was no arrangement to get the people accommodations, nothing. Imagine passengers have to sleep on the seats at the departure hall. Where is that done?

The agencies responsible for protecting the citizens are sleeping and acting like it is none of the business. The Minister of Aviation, @fkeyamo since he came into office have acted like the spokesman of private airlines association. The next thing is to sing on your mandate we stand, then attack the opposition.

If my train in Germany is delayed for three house while I am supposed to take the train, I and every other passengers will be compensated. If it is canceled, accommodation will be provided. Transportation to the accommodation and back to the train station, the food and water will be on the railway company, DBahn. I will still be compensated. And all these will be done with alot of 'sorry sir', 'sorry ma'. If it is a flight it is even worse. But in Nigeria we are treated like slaves by airlines that we paid our hard earned money in our own country and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate them don't even care.

Nigerians must wake up and demand this country work by force. Citizens of the developed countries we look up to didn't sit down and watched some gang of criminals do whatever they like with them forever. They demanded for it, sometimes even violently. We as Nig must insist the right thing is done at all times. When things like these happen, citizens that can afford it must go to court.

We certainly can't continue like this

THE SHEHU BUBA FILE IS GETTING DARKER

The DSS has reportedly confirmed that investigations into allegations surrounding Senator Shehu Buba are still ongoing.

Remember: Governor Bala Mohammed reportedly petitioned President Tinubu in 2024, alleging that Buba was “supporting, enabling and empowering bandits.”

Then came Abubakar Idris, a suspected bandit reportedly detained by the DSS after being registered for Hajj through a process linked to Buba’s political structure.

Another accuser, Hassan, now alleges that people connected to Dogo Gide were brought to Abuja for drone and sniper training. He possesses recordings, photos and videos.

Buba denies sponsoring banditry and says his contacts with figures including Bello Turji were connected to a non-kinetic peace initiative.

But here is my problem:

This man once chaired the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence.

If allegations this grave can follow someone occupying such a sensitive position, Nigerians deserve more than silence.

But nobody should shield Buba.

DSS, RELEASE YOUR FINDINGS.

Clear him or prosecute him.

National security cannot have sacred cows.
