REJOINDER TO BD LAWAL ON HIS RACIST ATTACK AGAINST OUR FATHER, THE WAZIRI OF ADAMAWA

I have been on a month‑long vacation, taking time to work on some important issues, but upon reading Babachir David Lawal’s recent attack against the former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, I could not believe how racist, sour, and provoking it was, delivered with such a dastardly tone.

Many people may see this as political, but I see far beyond that. BD Lawal went against the entire Fulani race by tagging the Waziri of Adamawa with the condescending title of Kachalla, an appellation commonly associated with bandits operating in Nigeria today.

He went further to describe Atiku’s entire team, family, and people as “Fulani hegemonists” with the sole intention of dominating the country.

BD Lawal was not attacking Atiku Abubakar on political grounds; he was attacking him for the singular reason that he is a Fulani man. That is hugely unacceptable, provoking, inciting, and dangerous.

If there is anyone who owes the Fulani race his entire life journey throughout his 71 years, it is BD Lawal.

Since he chose to use Kachalla as a prefix to condemn—albeit clandestinely— all Fulanis as bandits, then let me remind him that:

1. It was Kachalla late President Muhammadu Buhari (may Allah have mercy upon him), a Fulani man, who gave him his first major breakthrough in the PTF, where he served as a consultant under Afri‑Project Consortium.
2. It was Kachalla late Ahmed Salihijo (may Allah have mercy on him) who supported him throughout his half‑baked ICT career in the same consortium.
3. It was also Kachalla Engr. Aishatu Dahiru Binani who further backed him in that consortium.
4. It was Kachalla Amina J. Mohammed (current UN Deputy Secretary‑General) who strengthened him further in the same consortium.

When life turned sour, he clung to the same Kachalla Buhari and his team for survival.

It was the same Kachalla Buhari who provided him the opportunity of a lifetime by appointing him Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

When he left the APC after being neglected and rejected by the party due to his intransigence, it was the same Kachalla Atiku who picked him up, whitewashed him, and offered him another opportunity to shine on a national party platform.

It was the same Kachalla Atiku who supported him throughout, even against the wishes of many others, just for peace to reign.

And now, due to his high tendency for betrayal, it is the same Atiku he has chosen to condemn as Kachalla.

To be clear, I do not belong to the same political party as the Waziri of Adamawa, but he is my father, my leader, and my elder statesman—someone I respect, value, and honour deeply.

The level of democratic principles Atiku demonstrates, combined with his patience, tolerance, and gentlemanliness, often results in those he supports turning against him—just as BD Lawal has done.

I cannot insult BD Lawal because he is an elder, old enough to be my father. It is not in our culture, as Kachallas, to insult grey‑haired men. But BD Lawal should be mindful of utterances that promote division and incite racial attacks capable of harming the peaceful society of Adamawa State and Nigeria at large.

The Fulani people, whom BD Lawal now condemns wholesale while hiding behind political differences with Waziri Atiku Abubakar, have done so much for him. And for the rest of his life, he cannot repay them.

May God continue to provide peaceful solutions to all the issues affecting the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Now I can go back to my work.

Yours sincerely,
Kachalla Adamu Garba II

Reminder

1. Bitcoin usually bottoms between the EMA200 and SMMA230
2. The SMMA230 is the last line defense: This happened 3 times so far in 10 years and each time, it took a black swan events for BTC to retrace that far
3. Each bottom in the past 10 years happened between these two moving averages

Bitcoin might not have found the final bottom. But it has definetely entered and touched the bottom zone.

True intelligence comes from 3 core abilities: solving problems with clarity, adjusting with grace in any situation and making decisions that are thoughtful.

When these qualities grow, so does your inner strength. Nurture them a little every day and watch the shift within you.

[Abubakar Yunusa @Pharmacio001]

Whoever is advising the President to confront El-Rufai at this moment may not fully appreciate the political implications. A more strategic approach would be to ignore him and stay focused on governance until 2027.

In the last 72 hours, the ADC has kept the Nigerian government on its toes. Rotimi Amaechi has taken on the tax law. Nasir El-Rufai has gone after the NSA. Peter Obi is actively engaging the polity. The government, meanwhile, has been busy responding.

If I were part of Bola Tinubu’s administration, my advice would be simple: do not lose focus by reacting to every provocation.

El-Rufai and Amaechi understand this political game very well. They played a similar strategy against Goodluck Jonathan in 2014, a strategy that contributed significantly to his defeat in 2015.

What we are witnessing now feels familiar. They have begun again, and the government appears to be responding in a way that mirrors the same pattern that weakened Jonathan’s administration.

If President Tinubu is politically strategic, he should recognize the playbook and refuse to be drawn into it.

The coming weeks will likely bring more coordinated criticism and pressure. The administration must be prepared — not just to respond, but to respond wisely.

Happy Birthday to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, @elrufai. A man of intellect, courage, and uncommon sagacity. Even amid the present political persecution and needless distractions, his record of service and clarity of thought and purpose remain undeniable. I wish him strength, peace, and Allah’s guidance in the years ahead. -AA

If there are assets that you'd wish to accumulate here, well, the following ones are definitely the ones to go for:

- $BTC --> simple, must buy at these ranges.
- $ETH --> another blue chip, currently <TVL trading, a no-brainer.
- $AAVE --> the best protocol in DeFi, constantly growing.
- $NEAR --> if you want to have the intersection with AI.
- $TAO --> similar to $NEAR.
- $ARB --> insane growth in terms of activity.
- $ONDO --> tokenization / RWA platform and must-watch.
- $HYPE --> one of the best exchanges in the ecosystem, the revenue is going through the roof.

I can name more, but all of these are on bargain prices at this point in time.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP 2026 MARKET PLAN LEAKED.

A lot of people are expecting the markets to pump big in 2026, but they will be wrong for some time.

Here's what Trump is planning in 2026:

PART 1: THE CRASH

Right now the U.S. economy is already looking weak:

Layoffs are rising.
Bankruptcies are increasing.
Credit defaults are building.
Housing demand is collapsing.
Home sellers are far outpacing buyers.

Because of this, there's a decent chance of a stock market correction in the next 2-3 months, similar to Q1 2025.

In this case:
• S&P 500 could fall 10%-15%
• Nasdaq could fall 15%-20%

And since crypto mostly moves alongside stocks, it will experience even bigger corrections and a possible capitulation.

PART 2: THE BLAME

During this market crash, Trump will put blame on Powell and the Supreme Court (if they rule against his tariffs).

Jerome Powell’s term ends in May 2026, which means Trump could easily put blame on him.

Powell didn’t cut rates.
Powell kept policy tight.
Powell didn’t inject liquidity when markets weakened.

This will be done so that Powell doesn't remain a member of the Board of Governors after his term as Chair ends.

Trump knows that if Powell is still there, he could influence the decisions and could make things harder for Kevin Warsh.

PART 3: THE EASING

The moment Powell leaves and Kevin Warsh becomes the Fed Chair, easing will start.

Warsh has already hinted at tools like yield curve control, which would cap long-term bond yields and make borrowing cheaper.

Cheaper borrowing = More liquidity.
More liquidity = higher asset prices.

At the same time, other liquidity drivers could align:
• A possible $2,000 tariff dividend
• Big tax cuts
• Approval on crypto laws like the CLARITY Act.

All time will be done to pump the stock market and the crypto market.

PART 4: THE ELECTION

U.S. midterm elections are in Q4 2026, and the betting markets are showing that Republicans are losing it.

If Trump is able to pump the markets before the election and also provide some free money to average Americans, Republican winning odds could go up.

The markets will forget everything the moment prices start to go up.

Also, dividend money and tax cuts will boost small business owners' earnings.

Not only that, the market will see Powell as a culprit and blame him for everything bad that has happened.

So the theory is:
Early 2026 → Correction + blame Powell.
Mid 2026 → New Fed + liquidity easing.
Late 2026 → Market recovery into elections.

This means the next few months could be bad.

After that, accumulation will start and then the markets could see a good recovering heading into Q3-Q4 2026.

CZ, founder of Binance, says that he only holds Bitcoin and BNB.

“I believe that in 2026 the four-year cycle will be broken and we’ll see a Bitcoin supercycle.”

Managing someone else's capital is different than your own.

I can take all the risks that I want personally, and that's what I'm doing.

However, once you manage others' capital, risk becomes the primary driver, and that's what we've focused on at @MNFund_ and will continue to focus on.

Very happy that we've achieved such a great return in the first seven months.

An outperformance of 34.49%.

I'm personally happy that we're able to achieve this return during the hardest market conditions, and that makes me even more excited for better market conditions to come.

CZ: 2026 Could Be the Most Divisive Year in Crypto History

On January 14, 2026, Binance Founder CZ expressed gratitude for his pardon by President Trump in a video, pointing out that 2026 will be a year full of uncertainty. He analyzed that the market is facing an interplay of two forces: on one hand, historical "four-year cycles" signal the start of a bear market; on the other hand, the current US policy environment has shifted to fully supporting cryptocurrency. CZ believes that loose policies, such as rate cuts adopted by President Trump to protect the stock market, could override traditional cyclical patterns, thereby steering the market toward a "Super Cycle."

The Harsh Reality: Most Altcoin Traders Lose Everything.

HERE'S A LOW IQ STRATEGY TO BE PROFITABLE WITH ALTCOINS (see lower image).

Altcoins are a casino. The only reason to touch them is if you want to leverage your way to more Bitcoin. I get why people are drawn to them though - you have limited capital, Bitcoin's massive 100x moves seem behind us, so you're chasing that altcoin moonshot hoping to turn $1,000 into $100,000.

Most of you probably know this: you put $100 into some random token, dream about 1000x returns, watch it pump 8x, think "I'm not selling yet," and then watch it crash back to zero. Been there. And I bet most of you as well.

Altcoins are brutal this cycle. We've had some runners, but most have massively underperformed Bitcoin. The problem is everyone thinks they just need to find the next 1000x gem and hold forever. But honestly, how many of you have actually held a coin through a real 1000x move? Most people round-trip their gains because they get greedy (if at all.. most probably just fade into nothingness).

If I had a small trading account ($5-10k. Important: extra money that would not hurt me if it was gone) and wanted to grow it with zero trading knowledge, no chart skills, and no fundamental analysis expertise, I'd use my Low-IQ Altcoin Strategy:

1. Pick an established altcoin that's survived multiple cycles (SOL, ADA, ETH, etc). Doesn't matter which one.
2. Split my capital into 5 equal parts for 5 separate buys.
3. Make my first buy when daily RSI drops below 30 (oversold territory).
4. Each subsequent buy comes after another 10% drop from your previous entry.
5. Sell my ENTIRE position after 30-50% total gains. No exceptions.

I would take half my profits and park them in stables (and use for further trades). Put the other half into Bitcoin to grow my BTC stack. Repeat this process endlessly.

You won't get rich quick. But you also won't lose everything like 99% of altcoin traders do. You can't predict whale dumps, liquidation cascades, or random market events. The only edge retail has is patience and systematic accumulation. The only profitable approach for most people is applying "time in market beats timing the market." DCA down during crashes, sell when profitable, rinse and repeat.

This boring strategy is exactly how I survived my early trading days.

This is not financial advice. Do your own research before investing.

I am concerned by the harrowing display of mob injustice on 16 travelers from Northern Nigeria in Edo State.

This tragedy, which unfolded on March 28, 2025 in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi, is another sad reminder of the barbarity of jungle justice.

It is common knowledge that people from all parts of the country should be able to travel without facing any form of harassment or intimidation.

I urge the concerned authorities to launch a full-scale investigation into this sad incident and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

While praying for the repose of the victims, I extend my condolences to the their families, the Kano State Government and other affected states. - RMK
