Peter Obi is qualified to be president of Nigeria according to Seyi Makinde, as a matter of fact, he's willing to work with just about any Nigerian except Tinubu, with the lαme excuse of trying to reset the future.
Someone who's willing to work with Wike, can't be taken seriously. But of course, trust Nigerians to be impressed with such nansense because to majority, one political party and one man is the problem, and not the collective leaders who have bought us to this situation.
APC founders are scattered in the NDC and ADC, same parties Seyi Makinde wants to partner with. Obi couldn't revolutionize Anambra State, and Atiku for one couldn't condemn extremism for the sake of politics. Yet, these are people Makinde wants to form an allegiance with. I feel sorry for us Nigerians.
If you are a Nigerian and you attend a concert hosted by any Nigerian artist this December, you are a foöl.
I have not seen a completely useless industry like the entertainment industry here.
The reason they remain relevant is that we don’t keep them on their toes. So they do as they like, come online to do giveaways whenever it pleases them, and flaunt their luxurious lifestyles and vehicles for you people to debate about who is richer and who drives more expensive cars.
The radio silence from your celebrities is very intentional. Since Tinubu came into power, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Asake, Tems, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Ayra Starr, Rema, Adekunle Gold, Zlatan, BNXN, and EVERY other person in that industry have said absolutely nothing about the government. Not a single criticism, not even an attempt to encourage their fans to get their PVCs. Lmao, they can’t even publicly tell their fans to vote for a candidate because most of them are friends with people in Aso Rock.
You see how I did not mention the likes of Davido, Olamide, Ajebo Hustlers, Teni, Dandizzy, and Duncan Mighty? These ones are not even subtle about their support for APC and Tinubu. They are either friends with ST, take APC gigs, or dine with Tinubu himself.
If not for the fact that we are very unserious people, no one should be taking Davido seriously after that gimmick he pulled during the Osun State election.
All of them in that industry don’t rate you people, especially those of you who act like fatherless children defending some of them on social media every time.
The election is in January. Most of them will travel out of the country, then, after the election, they’ll come back to host shows, collect money from you people who are suffering, and come on stage at 3 a.m. after keeping you standing from 10 p.m. They might even kick some of you in the face.
But I guess Nigerians have a humiliation kink. If you hold these people accountable and keep them on their toes, they will be on their best behaviour. But then, there’s nothing like cancel culture here anyway.
Nigerian celebrities, pastors, and politicians are God’s favourites. They hit the jackpot by having people like you in their lives.
So I recently discovered websites where people have been silently Importing Cheap Cars Straight From China.
You may even be able to get cars for as low as ₦4 million, the same cars you might be buying for maybe ₦12 million in Nigeria. I'll share the websites below:
1. AutoCango (https://t.co/7JslfW34ow)
This platform allows you to choose whether you want to cars that were used within less than 3 years or around 180 days. You can check for different types of vehicles like Jetour, BYD, Honda, Geely, Mercedes Benz, and so on.
2. Guazi (https://t.co/omdzM63Ky1)
You can get used cars from here too, including Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and several Chinese brands. They also offer auctions, and they indicate the grade of each used car.
3. Alibaba (https://t.co/tUU3gjeAP7)
You probably know Alibaba as a platform for buying wholesale goods from China. However, it also has vehicle suppliers and exporters. You can search for new or used vehicles, but it's better to look out for verified sellers specifically.
4. Made-in-China (https://t.co/n7KHb2eL5F)
This is another platform where you can find Chinese vehicle manufacturers, dealers and exporters. You can find both brand-new and used vehicles, including electric cars, SUVs, sedans and pickup trucks.
5. SellGoodCar (https://t.co/4mI8LOubeZ)
You can get both new and used cars from here too. I learnt they typically provide inspection reports, escrow payment arrangements and international shipping. You can find brands such as Toyota, BMW, BYD, Geely and Chery.
**************
Be careful when ordering, though. Make sure to vet properly. Do your due diligence.
It may be better to work with a sourcing agent who can help you inspect and make sure your order is shipped. The agent might just take some percentages as a service charge.
Stay informed
And
Stay sharp! 🪒
A CEO Replaced 200 Employees With AI. Then One Former Worker Asked Him a Question That Silenced the Studio.
Charlamagne: You fired 200 employees and replaced them with artificial intelligence. Do you regret that decision?
CEO: Not at all. AI doesn’t take sick days, demand raises, or complain about working overtime. We’re saving millions.
Jess (Former Employee): Those 200 employees had families, mortgages, and children. Did you consider that?
CEO: Business isn’t charity. Technology evolves, and people must adapt.
Jess: I worked for your company for 12 years. I helped train the very AI system that replaced me.
Charlamagne: Hold up! You trained your own replacement?!
Jess: Yes. They called it an innovation project. Three months later, we received termination letters.
CEO: And that innovation made our company more profitable.
Jess: Then answer me one question.
CEO: Go ahead.
Jess: If AI replaces workers, who will earn the salaries needed to buy the products your company sells?
(The CEO pauses.)
Charlamagne: That’s actually a serious question.
CEO: The economy will create new opportunities.
Jess: For whom? You eliminated 200 jobs today. Can you name 200 new ones you’ve created?
(The CEO remains silent.)
Jess: You taught machines to do our jobs. But who’s teaching corporations to value human beings?
Charlamagne: DAMN! Now that’s the conversation we should be having!
If AI could do your job tomorrow at half the cost, should your employer have the right to replace you?
🇦🇪 Meet the Hummer H1 X3, owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, better known as the Rainbow Sheikh.
It's 14 METERS long, 6 meters wide and roughly as tall as a two-story house.
It has four diesel engines, enormous tires, and an interior complete with living space, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Basically, a HOUSE disguised as a military SUV.
The Sheikh reportedly owns around 3,000 vehicles, so apparently a regular-sized Hummer wasn't going to cut it.
Imagine trying to find a parking spot for this thing.

🚨Cesc Fàbregas on Harry Kane being left out of the World XI:
🗣️ Cesc Fàbregas: “I have a real problem with this one.
Not because Harry Kane needs somebody to defend him. He doesn’t.
My problem is what the selection says about the Ballon d’Or.
Because Harry won it.
So either we genuinely believed he was the outstanding footballer in the world, or we didn’t.
If we did, then leaving him out of the World XI is very difficult to justify.
You are telling me the best player in the world cannot find a place in a team of eleven players?
Then what are we actually saying the Ballon d’Or means?
And look at the names ahead of him.
Mbappé. Haaland. Messi. Lamine Yamal.
These are incredible players. Nobody is questioning their quality.
But then I want to understand the criteria.
If Mbappé is ahead of Harry, explain why.
If Haaland is ahead of Harry, explain why.
If Messi is ahead of Harry, explain why.
And with Lamine, I understand the excitement because he is extraordinary, but we are talking about Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or and then being told that four other forwards deserve the position more.
That is where it becomes difficult for me.
Take Haaland.
Of course he scores goals. Everybody knows that.
But Harry gives you goals, assists, link-up play, creativity and the ability to control an attack.
Take Mbappé.
Fantastic player. World-class.
But again, if we are judging the year that made Harry the Ballon d’Or winner, then I need somebody to explain why Mbappé’s season was better.
Then Messi.
At some point, we have to separate reputation from the year we are actually judging.
Messi’s career is not the question.
His legacy is not the question.
The question is: who were the best players for this particular period?
And then Lamine.
I love watching him. I really do.
But if you are telling me a teenager had a better year than the man who won the Ballon d’Or, then make the argument.
Don’t just put his name on the graphic and move on.
That’s my frustration.
I’m not saying these players aren’t deserving.
I’m saying Harry’s exclusion needs an explanation that makes sense.
Because when the Ballon d’Or winner is sitting outside the World XI, suddenly the World XI becomes more difficult to understand than the Ballon d’Or itself.
And that shouldn’t happen.
Harry shouldn’t be worrying about it.
He should go back to Bayern, keep scoring, keep creating, keep making defenders miserable.
Because eventually these arguments become very simple.
You put the players on the pitch and you see who makes the difference.
But for the people who selected this team, I have one question.
If Harry Kane was the best player in the world, how did Mbappé, Haaland, Messi and Yamal all become better choices for the same conversation?
That’s the contradiction I can’t get past.
Because you cannot give Harry the biggest individual award in football and then act surprised when people ask why he isn’t in the best eleven.
If the answer is that the Ballon d’Or and the World XI are judging completely different things, fine.
Explain what those things are.
Because right now, Harry Kane has been given the highest individual honour football can give him, while four other forwards have been told they belong in the team ahead of him.
For me, that doesn’t add up.”
The day I saw some lawmakers attempting to turn the National Assembly into a platform for singing "On Your Mandate We Shall Stand" in solidarity with Tinubu during his
Democracy Day address, rather than maintaining the dignity and independence expected of the
legislature, was the day it dawned on me that the institutional rot in Nigeria runs deeper than many of us realise.
There’s no democracy in Nigeria 🇳🇬 anymore. Till Tinubu is voted out.
Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians actually understand the amount of responsibility this country has transferred from the government to ordinary citizens.
You pay taxes, yet you generate your own electricity.
You pay taxes, yet you drill your own borehole for water.
You pay taxes, yet you contribute money to repair your street.
You pay taxes, yet you employ private security to protect your family.
You pay taxes, yet you pay private hospitals because public healthcare is unreliable.
You pay taxes, yet you send your children to private schools because public education has been neglected.
You pay taxes, yet you pay for waste disposal, drainage, streetlights and sometimes even transformers.
At this point, what exactly is the government providing?
Now, look beyond Nigeria.
Ghana operates a National Health Insurance Scheme and subsidises public education, including secondary education.
Burkina Faso, despite its economic and security challenges, has programmes providing free healthcare for pregnant women and children under five.
In the United States, public primary and secondary education is tuition-free. Roads, public libraries, emergency services and several social welfare programmes are funded through taxation. Healthcare and other essential services also receive enormous government subsidies.
These countries have their own problems, but nobody seriously argues that America is poor because it subsidises education, healthcare or social welfare.
Yet in Nigeria, almost every discussion about government subsidies eventually becomes a lecture about how the country cannot afford to help its citizens.
We removed petrol subsidies because they were supposedly unsustainable;
-Electricity tariffs have increased. -Public universities charge more then the same government gives you loans and celebrate it as a milestone achievement.
-Healthcare remains expensive. -Transportation costs keep rising.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are repeatedly told to endure the hardship.
My questions to the Federal Government are simple.
If citizens must provide their own electricity, water, security, healthcare, education and basic community infrastructure, what exactly is the purpose of collecting taxes from them?
Why is subsidising the welfare of ordinary Nigerians constantly presented as an economic burden, while government expenditure on political offices and official privileges continues?
Why must the Nigerian citizen make sacrifices before the government demonstrates the same discipline?
Why is government support for citizens treated as charity rather than a legitimate responsibility?
And why do we celebrate subsidy removal as economic progress without demanding measurable improvements in the services those savings are supposed to finance?
Nobody is asking for everything to be free. We are asking what Nigerians are getting in return for the money they surrender to the government.
Because there is something fundamentally troubling about a system where citizens finance the government, finance their own survival, and are still told they are not making enough sacrifices.
If Nigerians are responsible for providing nearly everything they need to survive, what exactly are we paying the government to do?
