@adeosunm Simple and to the point. The fundamental issue here is resource control. And of course correction of the historical injustice of Ilorin. For me that is.

@BashirAhmaad This is in Hausa. So??????????

He railed against oppression, against reckless driving, against spiritual wickedness in high places, against oppression. But he didnt do it like a boring class professor. The works were masterpieces of musical and theatrical composition.

The legend, Chief Hubert Ogunde, without formal training in theatre nevertheless perfected the idea of art as an agent of sociological reform. His contributions and interjections were wide ranging. As primary scupils we listened to and "crammed" many of his songs.

@makispoke This line of thought makes sense. See what China has done in less than 50 years. Total turn around! Total official state atheism. Total rapid development.

How can over 250 students and teachers vanish without a trace?

Think about that number. It would take 3-4 full luxury buses to move that many people.

Yet, they've disappeared into thin air. 🧵

Reading through social media commentary, it seems to me that NUPENG AND PENGASSAN need to work hard on their image. Once upon a time they were seen by many as saviours of Nigerian democracy(Eg NUPENG under Kokori). So what changed? Dangote is getting massive sympathy effortlessly

@DeeOneAyekooto @Jimmyflames What I don't even understand is the egungun shirt and the total color riot from head to toe. Is that a style?

What does it mean when Kemi Badenoch feels British citizenship is her greatest achievement? Her constant distancing from Nigeria feels less like conviction, more like insecurity. A need to earn belonging by rejecting her origin.

Kemi Badenoch’s story echoes the "adopted slave": 
She celebrates unearned citizenship as her pinnacle, while her dad lived/died proudly Nigerian. 
Her attacks on Nigeria? A desperate bid to belong here.

[Akin Adeoya @akinadeoya]

It's not anger she deserves, but pity. That gnawing insecurity of the "privileged slave" – forever an outsider, mistaking every glance for a sneer.

Kemi Badenoch calls her British citizenship "a marvel," Yet her father chose life & burial in Nigeria 🇳🇬. 
Her relentless disavowal of her Nigerian roots? A sign she needs to prove her "Britishness."
