@IfeSobog Tuchel sent a subconscious message that he wants to defend, by briaging on a defender (Konsa). Even if he didnt explicitly pass across those instructions, what else are the players supposed to think?

[Jayjay @_diuto]

In my opinion, Mbappe, Haaland, Messi, Bellingham, Rodriguez, Cucurella and Pedro Porro are locks for the team of the tournament. Who else gets in?

I tweeted this not because I was stranded or needed social media to solve my problem. By God's grace I'm confident an amicable resolution can be reached amongst all parties. I tweeted this because we love to solve our problems individually as Nigerians, but we need to learn to start solving problems for everyone's benefit.

This conversation is not even just for Selar or the other smaller creator startups, it's for every Nigerian that is plagued with a problem that affects many of us but lobby for only our own individual respite. This will never take us forward.

Move out of the state or country? Why? Why can't it be good here?

This same thing happened to Bolt and all our Bolt prices rose overnight, we simply adapted, but these conversations matter. When MTN got taxed more money, we the end users are the ones that suffered it the most.

We need systems that actually help businesses thrive because that helps everyone in the end. I know the lives that have been transformed completely because Selar exists. Same for many other tech startups today.

Yes, I went to ONE Zikoko Citizen event and now I'm a political activist LMAOOO. Jokes aside, let's start solving problems for EVERYONE! It will make our lives better 🧎🏾‍♂️

I have nothing more to say about this publicly.

Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa

I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident.

Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records.

We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business.

What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%.

Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from?

The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not.

This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform.

This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy.

Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth.

We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work.

If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business.

Thank you.

@femi__d Horrible coaching. I think say Rashford don get injury, with Tuchel's refusal to bring him on

[Jayjay @_diuto]

@SkimaSax @paycitaltd Skimaaaa...ajeh you too good. Whether na sax or building a business. Well done, boss.

[Jayjay @_diuto]

Lol Tuchel disasterclass. Parking the bus early against this Argentina team is a recipe for disaster

[Jayjay @_diuto]

@SkimaSax Just as you said. Tuchel went defensive too early. Rashford and Ollie Watkins would've been better subs

[Jayjay @_diuto]

@IfeSobog Not yet🤣still scouting for the most suitable

A presidential term is 4 years, not 8.

If a president fails in the first 3 years, they shouldn't be re-elected. That you feel there are no alternatives, is not a reason to support a failure to remain in office.

Tinubu supporters who acknowledge he has failed, but believe the opposition won't do better, are not doing anything smart.

Your man is a failure, and you know it. You can decide not to vote. But to willingly vote for a failure to continue failing, is worse than the ignorant, delusional supporters who believe he is working.

[Neto @docneto]

I'll counter this narrative anywhere. Do you people know half the things Obi has had to deal with for the last four years? You think it's everything that enters the public eye. And even in the public domain, a sitting governor threatened Obi and his convoy was attacked.

That Obi is still in the conversion with the evil that APC is capable of is all the evidence you need of a gritty and persistent leader that Nigeria needs. One who will stare down the evil cabals holding us back while sticking to his principles.

Obi has done his part by getting on the ballot. It is up to us the people who want a better Nigeria to put him in Aso rock.

This used to bother me years ago after my daily online doom scrolling, & then I realised that the "willing majority" is a myth. No successful nation was ever built by consensus. Nations are dragged into prosperity by a small, exhausted & relentless minority.

Look at Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew didn't inherit a unified populace willing to build a metropolis. It was a brutal and impoverished island prone to often deadly race riots.

Lee Kuan Yew stopped waiting for consensus.

He understood the harsh reality of nation-building: that progress was rarely democratic.

We look at Singaporeans today and assume they were always this disciplined, they weren't. Lee & a tiny, relentless minority of competent leaders enforced a working system on a population that was largely apathetic, stubborn & autophagocytic.

If anyone is waiting for 200+ million Nigerians to magically unite & demand a working system, they'll be waiting forever. You don't need the majority, you just need the minority who do want a working Nigeria to out-strategise, out-last, & out-build the ones who don't.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

Lol there will be no revisionism.

The truth is that the smoke reached the South b/c the North refused to put out the fire. We don't get to look down South & smirk, "it's finally happening to you,"to say that requires a level of blindness we can no longer afford.

The Northern establishment spent yrs coddling this crisis. How many people even admitted there was a "Northern problem" in the first place? For a long time, the strategy wasn't to confront the rot, but to mask it under the guise of political correctness & regional solidarity using religion as a mesh.

There's no form of insecurity in the North that didn’t find a significant Northern bloc of politicians, clerics, & natives defending, justifying, and supporting it. We literally watched active, decisive attempts at destroying Boko Haram get sabotaged from within under the banner of "you're killing our brothers."

Ironically, Southerners were often some of the most vocal voices sounding the alarm against Northern insecurity. They understood a fundamental truth that our leadership chose to ignore : you cannot be part of a single body & watch a limb rot with gangrene, expecting the rest of the organs to stay safe. Eventually, the sepsis spreads to the heart. We are in "SIRS" now.

The Northern elite silenced the alarms and coddled the arsonists. We are not going to pretend even for one second about this reality because if we do, we will not find any way forward.

I went to secondary school in Barkin Ladi 20 years ago. This is what SS1 - 3 boys were doing, night shifts in the blistering cold. I did it too. My mates in Oyo were sleeping or studying. I’ve watched this shit deteriorate in real time.

Barkin Ladi now looks nothing like it did when I graduated 14 years ago. I went to the same junction we used to buy stuff during outings last year & I was shaking. They don’t speak the same language. Crisis after crisis. Slowly, the people who used to till those lands are now doing menial jobs in the south. The names of the villages have changed. The senator representing that region was killed few days after I graduated when he attended a mass funeral of people who were massacred by the Fulanis who now occupy their homes. 14 years ago guys.

Trying to raise awareness about this state-backed conquest feels like screaming under water.

Few months ago, my aunt in mangu came to ask for money to trade cause she can’t farm anymore. Their farms were attacked 3 years ago. They wouldn’t dare go back.

For more than 10 years, we’ve had internally displaced persons from Borno living in our house, after my mother took them in. They only go back to their so-called homes for funerals. 3 brilliant kids; Elizabeth, Margaret and Grace (named after my now late mother for her benevolence). The dad does security work, the mom cleans. Who knows what they could’ve made of themselves back home? I do, they’d have been compost for aliens.

It always starts small then it spirals out of control. We’ve seen all kinds of terror. I wish they just came and shot people but that’s not fun enough. Bullets are for runners. They’ll slice pregnant women open to kill their fetuses. They’ll feed women their kid’s fingers. They burn people alive, hack them with machetes. When people try to defend themselves, that’s when soldiers come in. They call it farmer-herder clashes. They say cattle was rustled. Cattle was rustled? That’s why you renamed my village and put 200 people in a mass grave ?

I remember @YarKafanchan saying that she wept after the 2015 elections cause she knew her people would die like flies & then what happened in southern kaduna? When people talk, they say where’s the evidence? But what about the bodies? Dying is a morbid thing to be skilled at but boy, we have experience.

We’ve seen “strategists” platform them and defend all manner of wrongdoing on the alter of political correctness.

Omoh, let me just stop here.
