Dear Chetachukwu,
Thank you for your feedback. Kedu? Well, I make serious dollars on X monthly as Ad sharing revenue. Then, I make thousands more each week trading cryptos. And then a few thousand more as royalties from my seven books, including a Number One Bestseller in Europe and the Americas. Then, some more chicken change from YouTube each month. And then my X paid subscribers earn me another couple of thousands of dollars monthly. I also get consulting jobs now and then. And finally, the universities that rent my student hostels pay reasonable rent.
So, yes, you are right. I no get work. I am jobless. I am not even a businessman. I am a business!
Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Love Nigeria, not your party or your candidate. The mistake you are making is that your love is for your party and or its candidate. That is why you want the Naira to crash and celebrate as if you won the jackpot when it does. Listen, your party and candidate have an agenda. Power is their only agenda. Your country has its own agenda: you and your family. Your party and candidate's agenda will change depending on whether they are in or out of power. But your country's agenda will never change. It is for you and your family today, tomorrow and forever!

Rotimi Amaechi Is Frustrated Because He Expected To Be A Supreme Court Appointed President
On Friday, October 27, 2023, Rotimi Amaechi, the former Supreme Court-appointed Governor of Rivers state, said, "Nigerians don’t react to anything. Has any politician told you he is not a thief?
He further accused Nigerians of being cowards saying, “I am praying for you (Nigerians) every day that you should continue to commit suicide so that by the time I wake up one day, all of you have died so that I can now reap the benefits of your death."
This is not the first time Amaechi is talking so flippantly. In 2019, I released the #AmaechiTaoes, where he excoriated his boss, then President Buhari, basically calling him an inept leader and saying that Nigerians were cowards because they accept anything Buhari did. It is a pattern of careless talk from Amaechi.
People who understand how Amaechi became the Supreme Court-appointed Governor of Rivers State on October 25, 2007, know his game. The Supreme Court ruled that Celestine Omehia was not the rightful candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and that even though Amaechi was not on the ballot, the votes Omehia got belonged to the PDP and since he was disqualified, then “In the eyes of the law, the appellant (Amaechi) remains the candidate of the PDP and is deemed to have won the election and should be so sworn in immediately."
Amaechi was hoping for the same miracle in 2023. He expected the Supreme Court to declare President Bola Tinubu ineligible to contest due to the Chicago certificate issue. He hoped to approach the court to inherit Tinubu's February 25, 2023 votes, just as he inherited Omehia's votes. And his current stance stems from his frustration that that did not happen.
Rotimi Amaechi is just pained. He lost out at the All Progressives Congress primaries and also lost out in Rivers. He is not trusted within his own party and the Peoples Democratic Party. He is basically finished.
It would be foolhardy to think Nigerians are cowards. The Nigerian Civil War showed that neither the Hausa, Yoruba, nor the Igbos are cowards.
And beyond the major ethnic nationalities, minority tribes in Nigeria are also not cowardly. The Ijaw fought the Nigerian Army during the 12-day revolution that produced the short-lived Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966.
They reprised that revolution under Presidents Obasanjo and Yar'adua and crippled Nigeria's oil industry before President Yar'adua was forced to dialogue with them and introduce the Niger Delta Amnesty program.
And my people, the Itsekiris, engaged the British in Guerrilla war and were never defeated because of our creek system, forcing the British to appoint a series of Itsekiris lords as Governors of the Benin River.
And nobody can accuse our cousins, the Binis, of cowardice. Their 1897 war with the British is proof of that.
The single most consistent reason for wars and civil strife in Africa is inter-tribal contest for power. That was the root cause of many civil wars, whether it was Jonas Savimbi oh UNITAS and Eduardo dos Santos of the MPLA, the Hutu and Tutsi of Rwanda, the Tigray conflict in Ethiopia, or the various wars in the Mano River region of West Africa.
That is why we must appreciate what the Yoruba did after General Ibrahim Babangida's junta annulled the June 12, 1993 Presidential election. They applied wisdom. That capacity to adapt to circumstances is not cowardice, as Rotimi Amaechi described.
Nigerians have learnt from their past and know that it makes no sense to go to war over politicians like Rotimi Amaechi, a potbellied fellow who has never missed a meal in his life. If we are going to go to war, it will have to be for a compelling reason.
The democratic process works. The Judiciary works. Yes, the Legislature chops. But as long as we have free elections every four years, we can, and we will deal with their excesses without fighting a civil war or engaging in another #EndSARS to please Amaechi.
This week, I had a number of engagements with global stakeholders in Artificial Intelligence in the UK. We also announced a number of important agreements with several global partners. I am excited to be part of a team under the leadership of @officialABAT that continues to place Nigeria firmly on the radar for investment and development of our tech and startup economy. We will keep working hard to deliver for you. Here’s a recap of my week at this link https://t.co/nYl8D1LItK
If you are killing a goat or a chicken in front of girls, they will cry and say, 'Don't kill the poor chicken', 'Oh, leave it alone'. But once it is dead and turned into soup or barbecue, they will smile and eat it, lick their lips and ask for more. That is why you should not be moved by emotions. Do what you need to do to succeed. By the time your success is ready, everybody will be alright!

Meet Joshua Oluwakorede Adedeji, from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Ilọrin, emerged as one of the overall best students at the just concluded University of Ilorin combined convocation ceremonies held in October with a CGPA of 4.96.
He, however, achieved the feat despite combining tailoring with academics.
In this interview with Daily Trust Saturday, the 22-year-old indigene of Odo-Otin Local Government Area of Osun State talks about the struggles and sacrifices that led to his triumph despite the obstacles, among other issues of interest.

Many Congratulations, young man. Keep up the hardwork and you'll keep succeeding.

Harrison Okene spent 60 hours underwater in darkness after his boat capsized 20 miles off the coast of Nigeria and sank to the bottom of the ocean. He was discovered alive by divers who were sent to recover dead bodies.
Passport issuance is now reduced to as little as five days. The naira is appreciating against the dollar. JP Morgan projects our economy to significantly improve by December. Workers begin receiving the promised ₦35,000 wage support. In a significant diplomatic coup, the German Chancellor visits Nigeria. Crisis averted in Rivers.
Yet, Arise Peoples Party chooses to minimise the above positive news and highlight negative news.
That is not media. That is bias!
