Before you celebrate Davido’s family victory as your victory or before you join the city boy movement without even realizing it, WATCH this.
Also, before insulting me, make sure you watch to the end, so that you know exactly what you are insulting me about- because whatever you think my position is, it’s much “worse.”
Most of you are very very naive, and it is that naivety that will be the end of you people.
It does not take a genius to work out Nigerian politics, but you people keep pretending that it’s some sophisticated phenomenon.
The mistake you will make is to rely on the influencers who parade themselves as political analysts in Nigeria. Some na wetin them pay to talk them go talk, others no even sabi their left from right.
🇧🇾🇺🇸 Belarus President Lukashenko says President Donald Trump showed the world that the United States is "not" that powerful.
"If the Americans couldn't handle Iran, then they should not mess with China. They will never be able to deal with that kind of power."
This is the 3rd time I will be tweeting this and I will keep tweeting it until you stop vilifying Iran ignorantly.
My job is to counter all the misinformation and attempt to project the US as the hero in this conflict.
A BREAKDOWN OF THE IRAN Vs US CONFLICTS AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:
1. Iran in the early 1950s was a constitutional monarchy which mixed Democracy and Monarchy and had a balance.
They had an elected parliament (Majles), political parties, and a prime minister chosen through parliamentary politics until the United States and Britain intervened.
In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh became Prime Minister. He was widely popular and moved to nationalise Iran’s oil industry, which had been controlled by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
In 1953, the CIA and Britain’s MI6 orchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, also known as Operation Ajax.
The coup removed Mosaddegh from power
Strengthened Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who reversed oil nationalisation.
The Shah’s Rule from 1953–1979 after the coup, the Shah gradually consolidated power.
Political opposition was suppressed
Secret police (United States-funded SAVAK) were empowered, elections became controlled, and Iran rapidly became authoritarian.
In 1979, mass protests led to the fall of the Shah due to excessive oppression. The revolution brought Ruhollah Khomeini to power and established the Islamic Republic.
The new system replaced monarchy with clerical rule under the concept of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist).
2. After the Islamic Revolution, the US admitted the exiled Shah for medical treatment, which Iranians saw as protecting a tyrant. This directly triggered the US embassy hostage crisis (Iranian response), after which the US severed ties, froze Iranian assets, and imposed initial sanctions marking the start of long-term economic isolation.
3. From 1980–1988 The US provided Saddam Hussein with intelligence, weapons, economic aid, and even overlooked his use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and civilians (killing hundreds of thousands of Iranians). This was a deliberate proxy effort to weaken post-revolutionary Iran.
4. In 1988 a US warship shot down a civilian Iranian passenger plane over Iranian airspace, killing all 290 people aboard including 66 children.
The US called it a "mistake," but awarded the commander a medal.
So when unlearned people gaslight you and present whatever the United States is doing in Iran as a gesture of goodwill to its people, this is the sequence of events that led Iran to evolve into a centralised government and has to be militarily strong for its own security.
And to protect itself against Western aggression.
Nigeria just like Babylon of 6000 years ago is a contrast of two extremes. What can you do as a first step to get on your way out of the rut? This is today’s lesson on the richest man in Babylon. #nigeria#financialeducation#richestmaninbabylon
Unauthorised sharing of govt’s documents, especially docs that contains sensitive information on the internet in the name of journalism and freedom of information is not fashionable and should be condemned.
It is against the State and punishable under the law.
Don’t do it.
Burn Lagos once, shame on the burners. Burn Lagos the second time, shame on Lagosians!
Remember how, after listening to Nnamdi Kanu's broadcast where he told them to "take their guns and kill them" and "I want Lagos to be in flames", and to "go and burn down Lagos" his exact words), some protesters went to the Oba of Lagos's palace to desecrate it during #EndSARS. Then they burnt the Nigerian Port Authority headquarters (what did NPA do to them? Is it that some people do not want Lagos to have a port?).
From there, they burned the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminals at Oyingbo, Yaba, and Berger, along with all the buses there.
Next, they vandalised the Lagos Oriental Hotel, before burning City Hall, Igbosere court, and almost twenty police stations. They then moved on to burn Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, which was the best forensic laboratory in Black Africa. Finally, they looted banks, ShopRite stores and multiple malls.
Today, they are asking you to join them again in another protest that can be used as a pretext to burn what is left of Lagos. Why only Lagos? If this protest is really about hunger, why would they not go to protest in states experiencing hunger?
Because I know how crafty these guys are, and that they will deny that Nnamdi Kanu said so, I will post his video again in the post immediately.

You cannot understand the nitty gritty of leadership and the challenges that comes from being a leader, if you have not been privileged to lead in a substantial capacity.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend pointing fingers at your leaders, guys. 🥂
Yes, until it is your turn.
DEAR CHRISTIANS/MUSLIMS,
Why do you go about killing your fellow humans and rendering some others homeless and hopeless? Another disturbing part of your evil doing is that you're even doing it because of religious or ethnic leanings/differences.
YOU'RE FOOLS! ANIMALS!
I am deeply saddened by the violence and killings in the Mangu local government of Plateau State despite the imposition of a 24-hour curfew. This heinous act of violence, where innocent lives are being brutally snatched away, homes set ablaze, and communities thrown into chaos, is a direct affront to the values of peace and unity that we hold dear.
It is imperative that our security agencies exhibit a higher degree of proactiveness, particularly in light of the recurring incidents of banditry in Plateau and across various parts of the country. The apparent lack of anticipation and preventive measures against such crises is a matter of grave concern. It is high time that our security forces rise to the occasion, ensuring the safety and well-being of our citizens.
Even as I call for peace, I stand in solidarity with the victims and their families during this difficult time. Let us all come together to ensure that such tragedies are not repeated. -AA

WHY DINO FAILED...
Having been Rep member and Senator, one would naturally expect a somewhat experienced politician like Dino to put in some serious fight in the Guber contest, but what greeted us was a stormy embarrassment, a shameful outing and what can rightly be termed as
Your lawyers are insulting the judiciary. Your supporters are threatening them. Your party members are impugning their integrity. And then you are appealing to the Supreme Court? You can see that you lack one of the most basic tenets of leadership. The ability to anticipate consequences. You as Peter Obi have allowed your Obidients to make you so odious in the eyes of the judiciary. You should have intervened when they were rubbishing Chief Justice Kayode Ariwoola. But you pandered to the headless mob of fascists. Only to now trend #AllEyesOnKayodeAriwoola. Anyway, I can't blame you. You receive advice from madmen. Just expect Supreme disappointment from the Supreme Court!

I remain grateful to Mr president for being a forgiving father and choosing to look beyond our youthful exuberance and recognizing our passion to be a part of building and sustaining this great nation of ours
The Girl forged UTME result.The commentaries for and against her are more of the fall out of the 2023 election than just forgery.For most people talking,their tongues are about the forgery but their hearts are politics.The Girl committed an offence at a time when people are looking for a reason to keep the flames of verbal war alight.The Girl flew a helicopter in between the Border of Ukraine and Russia.
If the Girl is from Plateau or Niger,it wouldn’t have been as hot as this.
A woman from Bauchi allegedly stabbed her husband to https://t.co/EVCM0ipMoJ one seems interested.If the woman is from the west and the husband is from the east or vice versa,the internet would have been on fire by now.
Most Nigerians are now wearing ethno religious and political Sunglasses;everything is viewed from the perspective of that lenses.We are likely going to live like this for a very long time.
Some of you are unapologetic pessimists. You 've never wished Nigeria well, regardles of who the President is. Today, becos ur preferred candidate lost the presidential electn, you 've continued to wish that the incumbent administratn fail.
Guys, this is pathetic & needs to stop.
President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, is the first President of Nigeria with a Financial background. Let me tell our 419 businessmen some hard truths. Your days of going to the villa at night to get import duty exemptions, tax waivers, fraudulent judgement claims and bogus business deals are over. Focus on legitimate business deals. Tinubu will not pick a winner like past Presidents. This time you will have to earn your position in the Nigerian Economy.
After due consultations with the Labour Leaders, a consensus leading to the suspension of the planned nationwide strike has been reached. The parties shall continue to dialogue on the implementation of the agreed terms.
