"A little Faith is enough

If you agree with God on a Promise,
You will attract the people who agree too and will complement you

Just agree with God by yourself and be at rest

Stop worrying because people around you don't agree"

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

Here's an example of what I was talking about yesterday using Google Earth images (https://t.co/0fTAkv0qOS).

For context, Obajana is the largest cement plant in Nigeria. It was commissioned by former President Obasanjo in early 2007 just before he left office, so coming up to 20 years old. It is a giant complex for which Dangote operated it completely tax free for about 10yrs. He abused the government's pioneer status scheme with this plant to such extreme levels that the scheme was scrapped for cement.

Cement has also been completely protected for more than 20yrs in Nigeria - imports are totally banned with clinker only allowed with 50% tariffs.

Image 1 - shows the plant's footprint and scale in the area
Image 2 - from a June 2022 street view. This is what the surrounding area of the plant looks like at street level
Image 3 - is roughly 5 miles from the plant. You can see mud walls (anytime there are heavy rains in Nigeria, you always get stories of people dying because their mud houses collapsed)
Image 4 - You can rubbish heaps with the plant in the background.

This is where the world's richest black man makes his billion dollar fortune. Once you step outside the factory gates, much of the surrounding area remains unpaved shoulders, rudimentary drainage and pedestrians sharing the road with his thousands of cement lorries.

When I say there is zero evidence of cement linked to Nigerian development in any way, this is what I mean. Nigeria has consumed roughly a third of the amount of cement you'd expect because Dangote extracts an unbelievable price for "manufacturing" cement in Nigeria and "stopping imports". His focus on his margins above everything else is almost deranged.

If you had a man like this in Britain in the middle of the nineteenth century, Bazalgette doesn't get the London Sewer built and cholera does not get eliminated (https://t.co/VY2VLRCB7a). If you had him in early 20th century America, Erle Halliburton does not perfect oil well cementing and the world does not benefit from it (https://t.co/i894J3egUm)

But give it a few weeks, there will soon be another article in some reputable foreign media talking about how Dangote is on a journey to industrialise Africa. Meanwhile the man's two-decade record is right there in plain sight for everyone to see.

Yes, the Nigerian government is retarded enough to let this happen so it is not all his fault. But does Dangote himself have no shame? No innovation, no technology mastery, no impact on his immediate doorstep. Just his margins and counting his billions of dollars.

See actual lawyers trying to tap into that VDM populism by defending absolute nonsense.

VDM has zero business on an NBA panel.

March 2024: arrested for cyberbullying and cyberstalking over Nollywood actresses, held nearly two weeks. September 2024: The Falanas sued him for defamation after he refused a court ordered retraction. October 2024: detained by police after a viral video of him wearing a police uniform. March 2025: a magistrate issued a bench warrant against him for alleged criminal defamation after he skipped a court summons. May 2025: five days in EFCC custody over fresh cyberstalking petitions. November 2025: made good on a public threat to slap a comedian, trading punches with him mid flight, prompting a Civil Aviation Authority probe for endangering passenger safety.

That's not grassroots advocacy. That's a serial offender who treats court orders as optional and settles disputes with his fists. Platforming him at a speech and prize-giving day of a nursery school would be wrong, let alone an AGC.

I expect a walkout. Nothing less.

OD, THIS IS WHERE YOU GOT MY ATTENTION

OD publicly began describing Blaqbonez as a "sexual abuser."

Not once.

Repeatedly.

He accused people associated with Blaq of enabling or covering up sexual abuse.

He called out industry figures: MI @MI_Abaga, Bizzle @bizzleosikoya, Ice Prince @Iceprincezamani, Audu Makori, Abuchi.

He told people that associating with Blaq meant associating with a sexual abuser.

I even saw references to rape being brought into the wider discourse surrounding the accusations.

At that point, I stopped treating this as entertainment.

Those are not ordinary rap-beef words.

Calling somebody wack is rap beef.

Calling somebody talentless is rap beef.

Mocking his music, body, numbers or career is rap beef.

But calling a man a sexual abuser is an allegation of serious wrongdoing.

And when somebody makes an allegation that serious, repeatedly, with that level of certainty, I naturally assume he possesses serious evidence.

Especially because this wasn't coming from the alleged victim herself in those posts.

It was another man publicly making the declaration (first time I am seeing a man do so).

So I thought: perhaps OD witnessed something.

Perhaps somebody showed him evidence.

Perhaps he has material the rest of us haven't seen.

Because surely you don't repeatedly attach something this grave to another person's name without evidence.

Then I started seeing prominent accounts and influencers repeating language like "sexual abuser" and "predator."

It didn't happen for one afternoon.

It continued for months.

I saw calls for Blaq to be cancelled.

I saw OD taking the allegation beyond Hip-Hop circles and trying to make other organisations and platforms take notice.

Then came the UK incidents.

After all the threats, all the tough talk and after Pussy Niggaz diss (where OD claimed he'd f*ck him up if he saw him in public)

Instead, I saw the viral clip of OD seeing Blaq and spitting on the ground 😂.

To me, after all that rhetoric, that looked underwhelming.

Then Blaqbonez finally sat with Rufai Oseni and gave his version of events.

I listened (for about an hour).

And from his account, I did not hear anything that, by itself, established sexual abuse or rape.

Then I looked at the allegations attributed to the woman herself.

Again, from what I have publicly seen, I have not yet seen material establishing the very serious labels OD repeatedly used.

And some of the screenshots surrounding the cease-and-desist issue raised even more questions for me. One exchange, in particular, appeared to involve discussion about making correspondence look as though it came from a lawyer (Some explanations are needed to verify if that document was falsified).

And now Blaqbonez has taken legal action.

Fine.

Let the court determine liability.

But OD, You brought the allegation to us before the court became your answer.

You called him a sexual abuser publicly.

You called out people around him publicly.

You asked the industry to cancel him publicly.

You encouraged the public to treat association with him as enabling sexual abuse.

You spoke with certainty.

So yes, the court will determine the legal question.

But the public is still entitled to ask:

WHAT EVIDENCE WERE YOU RELYING ON WHEN YOU MADE THOSE CLAIMS?

You made me interested.

I wasn't involved in your relationship.

I wasn't involved in your rap beef.

I don't know Blaqbonez personally.

I don't know OD personally.

I don't know the woman personally.

Now I want to see what substantiates it.

You brought the accusation to the court of public opinion first.

OD, you now have my full attention.

Substantiate the claims.

One of the reasons I don’t like politics is this.

When TOE made that tweet during the last administration, telling everyone how staggering the level of oil theft was and how investors were losing huge amounts of money, I remember many members and supporters of the ruling party coming out to attack him with whatever they could.

Today, the same party is still in power, but the current President has decided to do certain things differently and better.
Now, it is obvious that what TOE was saying then was right, and many of those attacking him were simply playing politics.

But should politics really make political followers lose all sense of objectivity?

Can you at least be mute (you don’t have to support) when a clearly nonpartisan person is calling our attention to a genuine problem affecting the country?
