You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
You had government backing and still couldn't convince enough people to back you in your small constituency..
You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident..
You spent 8yrs with the ex president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty stricken community..
We all have different trophies Bashir, I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs.
My reservations about state police have not changed. I just hope we are not creating another State Independent Electoral Commission in a different form.
Given our political realities, it is difficult to trust the average Nigerian governor not to turn state police into a personal tool for harassment, intimidation, and settling political scores.
I sincerely hope the future proves me wrong.
“Here we go again” and yet you couldn’t get through one paragraph without misrepresenting what Mount Zion actually does. Let me help.
MZ doesn’t demonize Yoruba culture. It celebrates it; the colors, the language, the proverbs, the royalty. Eg. Abejoye became a born-again Christian while still speaking deep Yoruba, bowing before his king, and dropping proverbs that’ll make your grandfather nod. Nobody took his culture. The Gospel just took the throne in his heart.
You framed this as “Yoruba spirituality vs foreign religion.” We never did. We frame it as Light vs Darkness and Darkness has no nationality. We’ve called it out in boardrooms, cities, and yes, in the villages. Location doesn’t exempt it.
“Profiting from portrayals” MZ has 200+ films. Less than 30% are traditional settings. Your entire argument is built on a minority of the catalog, filtered through a lens of cultural grievance. That’s not analysis, that’s a feeling dressed up as a fact.
People are asking questions? Good. Watch the films. The full ones. From start to finish.

How Nigeria clubs extort their customers
Casamigos: ₦250k–₦300k in Nigerian clubs, but £32 in the UK.
Don Julio: £120 in the UK, but ₦1.2 million in Nigerian clubs.
Martell: £30 in the UK, but ₦300k in Nigerian clubs.
Hennessy: £30 in the UK, but ₦400k in Nigerian clubs.
And also don’t forget that most of these drinks are fake .
Honestly, we need to do better.
I used to believe my celebrity connections were the shortcut to scaling my business. I gave out over ₦100 million worth of free designer sunglasses, thinking it was smart marketing.
Then I learnt the hard way, as some of them were telling people they bought the pieces overseas. I heard this and almost had a seizure.
Years later, I am my own biggest marketer.
No more depending on others for my brand’s growth. The real power has always been within.

Sign of trouble for APGA, you run. Wahala never start for PDP, you run. Labour faces the perturbations of becoming a mainstream party, you run. ADC advancing toward its primaries, you run.
But somehow, you have the capacity to save Nigeria from its century old challenges. Whoever believes you should be certified dumb, dumbo, obidient. Or dumbest.
I’d like to give a special shoutout to @savvynigerian, a talented young Nigerian who created a beautiful tribute to the IBTC/@StanbicIBTC story without being commissioned by anyone.
This video was brought to my attention by young people who saw it circulating on social media. It is amazing to see how our youth are now creatively using tools like AI to tell stories based on publicly accessible information only.
I doff my hat to you.
The last time we shared a film set was during Àyànmọ́ by Hubert Ogunde, and later Fopomoyo by Jimoh Aliu.
Yesterday in Abeokuta, I reunited with Alhaja Folashade Jimoh Aliu during the filming of Heroes of the Yoruba Travelling Theatre.
A beautiful reminder that our stories endure through time—and through us.
