Five Years ago, I stood still staring at a beautiful old soul, lifeless and gone! Hoping it was a dream.
Egbon mi Adio, I miss you so much.
Adio mi, Ara Oje, oje npetu
Omo alaa mese, Omo opejoye,
Omo eye mumi sasa loje ile
Sun’re o Hakeem Adenekan💔

Will these tribalistic posts ever cease? Even from the least expected quarters.
One would have thought that with a more educated and enlightened population, we would gradually outgrow these prejudices. Instead, the internet seems to have exposed just how deeply rooted the folly remains.
There is simply too much ethnic toxicity in the Nigerian X community. We really should be better than this. 🤮
@Omojuwa@DrJoeAbah We played with the cover of Old Smarties. The hub of a cassette comes handy when we don’t have former.
Cassette hub was too hard to move unlike the smarties cover that’s flexible. You can spin it easier.
Ẹ Jẹ́ K’Áyìndé Gbáyé…
This is one of those pristine Fuji recordings from Barrister where Agbajelola told the story of his own life.
He weaves his personal experiences into lessons about life, perseverance and human behaviour, while subtly confronting some of the distractions around his emerging career, baby steps, success story and correcting misconceptions/labels attached to his name at the time.
He didn’t dwell on his detractors. He told his story, made his point, extracted lessons; and kept the music moving.
In many ways, Ẹ Jẹ́ K’Áyìndé Gbáyé was an early declaration of identity: before you define Ayinde, let Ayinde tell you who he is.
Interestingly, many of these personal experiences would be revisited years later, with greater maturity and perspective. In the album REALITY, almost as though Agbajelola returned to the story of his life to tell it again from the vantage point of the man he had become.
Storytelling. Life lessons. Subtle confrontation. Self-definition.

The most intriguing part for me was “…mini-bus stopped for the recovery of an escaped chicken. Same driver didn't stop when a Nigerian girl wanted to pee.”
My theory: He owns the Chickens & he is going to sell them. For the “migrants? He is paid to transport them nothing more.
“Make sure you don’t sleep,” one trafficker belted out. “If you sleep, you fall off. And if you fall off, you die!”

Zohran Mamdani: “DoorDash had underpaid more than 260K delivery workers across New York City. Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account. I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131M, the largest settlement for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history and a landmark win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn”

Happy 80th Birthday to a true icon of Nigerian music, Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye; King Sunny Adé! 🎂
Sikiru Ayinde Barrister shared a warm and cordial relationship with KSA, built on mutual respect between two giants who helped shape Nigerian music across generations.
Let’s celebrate Sunny Ade today and wish him many more years in good health, happiness and fulfilment.
Many happy returns, Omo Alade, Ondo oni’la meji! 👑🎶

I am looking forward to @fisayosoyombo ’s latest undercover investigation.
Spending 47 days embedded in the dangerous journey of African migrants through the Sahara and Mediterranean is investigative journalism at enormous personal cost.
Beyond the revelations, however, I hope we resist the temptation to reduce the report to another political weapon.
Like his previous investigations, the report will undoubtedly raise important questions. Whatever gaps it exposes in immigration management, human and child trafficking, border control, protection of vulnerable Nigerians and diaspora affairs should become opportunities for serious policy interrogation, decisive action and, where necessary, a review of our laws.
For the sitting government and its supporters, the response should not automatically be defensiveness or interpreting uncomfortable findings as an attack on the administration. Some of these challenges may be longstanding and predate the current government. It is also perfectly legitimate to acknowledge that certain issues may have remained in government’s blind spot.
Where institutional, policy or implementation gaps are established, acknowledge them, address them and strengthen the system.
For the opposition, the report should equally be more than ammunition for attacking the government. The more useful questions are: What would we do differently? What policies, institutions and enforcement mechanisms would prevent these failures?
Investigative journalism is most valuable when its revelations lead to accountability, better policy and ultimately better outcomes for citizens.
Let the report provoke solutions, not merely political arguments.
Once again, Kudos to Fisayo. Thank you for all you do!
I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea.
Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.
This viral claim that two NDLEA officers were convicted with Nigerian drug dealer Tony Obina is incorrect.
They were officers of Liberia’s Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), not Nigeria’s NDLEA.
On 8 September 2026, a 12-member jury at the 13th Judicial Circuit Court in Kakata, Margibi County, found Special Agent Joe Logan and Agent Lovette Flowers (both senior LDEA officers assigned to Roberts International Airport) guilty alongside Tony Obina (also referred to as Tony Obi).
The case involved cocaine valued at US$181,008 and LD$63.2 million. Prosecutors said the officers took four of 14 confiscated plates of cocaine and sold them, and that LDEA personnel received a US$10,000 bribe from the cartel.
Obina was among inmates who escaped Kakata Central Prison during a jailbreak on Sunday, 20 September 2026.
Liberia’s Ministry of Justice confirmed the breakout and launched a joint security search. Community members and security personnel recaptured Obina and at least one other escapee shortly afterward, with this 👇🏽 video circulating online showing him being escorted back to the facility.

I am very pleased by this news. Somepeople in this country have become very rich by corruptly colluding with government officials to impose liabilities on the government and then sue the government or force it into arbitration to pay huge sums in dollars.
Sometimes, they even collude with government lawyers to come to court and accept liability in exchange for a share of the proceeds. To me, these are some of the most despicable Nigerians alive.
Congratulations to Nigeria and well done to Presidents Obasanjo, Buhari and Tinubu.
BREAKING: Nigeria wins arbitration case against Sunrise Power
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris, France, has ruled in favour of Nigeria in the $2.35 billion award sought by Sunrise Power over the Mambilla hydropower project.
The award was issued today, TheCable understands.

BREAKING: J.P. Morgan includes Nigeria in new emerging-market bond index with 7.4% weight
J.P. Morgan has included Nigeria in its newly introduced Government Bond Index–Emerging Markets Edge (GBI-EM Edge), assigning the country a 7.4% weighting in the benchmark designed to track local-currency government debt across frontier emerging markets.
This is according to J.P. Morgan’s Global Index Research report dated September 14, 2026 seen by Nairametrics.
The inclusion puts Nigerian naira-denominated government bonds back into a J.P. Morgan emerging-market benchmark more than a decade after the country was removed from the bank’s flagship government bond index in 2015.
I got N50k+ for August and N27k from September from IKED. But they should gerrout!
Over N7000k worth of food items got spoilt in my freezer because I was away for a week when the power outage happened.
On my return, I spent about N20k/daily on diesel for about 2wks… so🤷🏽🤷🏽
Not many heard. We argued this in our critical writing class back in school. It turned out that I was right.
Barry samples a lot. A recent post was about sampling Fela Anikulapo’s Shuffering and Shmiling.
Thanks for pointing it out, I should add Asun to @thejidetaiwo’s promise
