Yesterday in federal court, the CIA, FBI, and DEA filed a memorandum opposing our motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records, where we are seeking to have the redactions removed from the (partially released) files.

In the filing, the CIA effectively confirmed that Nigeria's sitting president is an active CIA asset. An excerpt from the CIA filing reads:

"Human sources can be expected to furnish information to the CIA only when they are confident the CIA can and will do everything in its power to prevent the public disclosure of their cooperation. In the case of a person who has been cooperating with the CIA, official confirmation of that cooperation could cause the targets to take retaliatory action against that person or against their family or friends. It also places in jeopardy every individual with whom the cooperating individual has had contact. Thus, the indiscretion of one source in a chain of intelligence sources can damage an entire spectrum of sources. As such, confirming or denying the existence of records on a particular foreign national, like Tinubu, reasonably could be expected to cause damage to U.S. national security by indicating whether or not the CIA maintained any human intelligence sources related to Tinubu, and identifying any access or lack of access any such sources had to intelligence concerning him."

And if that wasn't bad enough, the DEA's filing included a paragraph that literally said: "We oppose full, unredacted disclosure of the DEA's Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records because we believe that while Nigerians have a right to be informed about what their government is up to, they do not have a right to know what their president is up to."

At this point, I think there is nothing more to be said about the direct role that the US government plays in ensuring that Africa is constantly destabilised and afflicted with terrible leaders who create poverty and devastation.

Well, let's see what the Trump era will bring.

If you're in Nigeria, Kenya, or any other African country led by a Biden/Harris-installed puppet, this result gives you a 2 to 4-year window to do whatever is in your power to get that puppet out of there and rescue your country from the US economic hitman.

US foreign policy, as we know, is imperial and does not really change. BUT the wild card here is that Donald Trump is perfectly set up to take the proverbial chainsaw to the swamp forest. He has no re-election to look forward to, and they have given him all the motivation in the world to pursue his vendetta by trying to kill him twice, after dragging him through criminal court and getting his face on a police mugshot.

Trump and the US Intelligence establishment have already hated each other since 2016. The last time he was president, there was a mass resignation at the State Department. It was also the Intelligence Community that started and spread the false narrative that Russia somehow made him president, leading to a whole federal inquiry that summed up to the grand total of nothing.

Trump HATES these people for his own selfish reasons. And it just so happens that these are the same people responsible for imposing puppets and making extractive imperial decisions around the world. They're the people who are trying to turn fuel and electricity into luxury items in Nigeria and make Kenyan cancer patients pay a special tax for getting chemotherapy.

Over the next 4 years, there will be an ALMIGHTY squabble behind the scenes as Trump does what he does best - creates chaos and starts fires. During this time, it will be very difficult for these people to properly coordinate themselves to run this empire behind the president's back. We saw this in Nigeria during Trump's last tenure when, between 2017 and 2019, there was a brief economic recovery after the crash that started in Q4 2015 with the entry of the last Democrat-installed puppet before the current one. When Trump was creating chaos at the State Department, the systematic raiding and dismantling of Nigeria's economy couldn't be properly supervised, and we got a 3-year reprieve before 2020 happened.

This means that if Kenyans stage a #RutoMustGo part 2 next year, there will be no US government cover for him to remain in office and disappear people as he has been doing. Ditto Nigeria and the Biden/Harris-backed drug pusher in Aso Rock. Whatever plans anyone has to get rid of American-backed extractive puppet regimes across the continent - now is the time to put them into action. For the next 4 years, America will be too busy fighting itself and disappearing up its own giant asshole to properly focus on destroying Africa's growing economies.

This is probably the last time we will ever get a gilt edged opportunity like this. So whoever you are - politician, political activist, banker, billionaire, soldier, journalist - the time is now. You have your work cut out for you.

We have a 4-year window.

Good luck and godspeed.

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with.

Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28."

The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below.

Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it.

The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited.

I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer.

It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do.

I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop.

It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us.

I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself.

Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those.

It will never be me.

I’m surprised that up till now, nobody has spoken about the recent revelations on the NNPC/Dangote deal, or even the NNPC accounts.

NNPC mortgaged approx 15% of all the crude oil accrued to the Federation to raise the $1B loan they invested in Dangote Refinery. This loan has a 47% interest rate per annum and will cost us approx $4B in crude oil to repay.

NNPC is also going to sell 300k barrels per day of sweet crude oil to Dangote at a discounted price, starting from April 2023.

Finally, the facilitators of the deal got $36M and in return, Nigeria will get “0 NAIRA” in dividends. Yes, you read that right. NNPC would forfeit all dividends accrued from the investment till Dangote gets the balance of $1.76B.

Meanwhile, NNPC spent 57.6 Billion on paper & stationery, 3.46Billion on recharge card and 354B on travel. A total of 1.2 Trillion was spent by NNPC on “administrative costs”.

As it stands now, Nigeria is bankrupt and is effectively running a Ponzi scheme on the entire world. They’ve stolen everything in the present and are now stealing the future. It would take 3 decades to rectify the damage caused by APC.

If you’re pregnant or have a pregnant family member this thread is for you. It is a very very very long thread so bookmark it and grab a drink.

This Week By Week Guide for you to understand what is happening inside you until the day your bundle of joy is delivered.

Pregnancy is the period between when a woman conceives up till when the products of the conception comes out of her.

The desire of every mother is for her pregnancy to reach the end and produce a healthy baby.

It is thus imperative for you to know what to expect as it concerns your body and the baby in you.

Every pregnancy is unique and you should know that the information provided is a guide that is based on estimates from studies.

Pregnancy is divided into 3 basic time frames medically called trimesters:

• First trimester - week 0 - 12
• Second trimester - week 13 - 27
• Third trimester - week 28 - 42

FIRST TRIMESTER

Week 0 - 4
The first 2 weeks of pregnancy is counted despite the fact that the baby has not yet formed. It is the period during which a woman prepares for getting pregnant.

Week 1 starts from the first day of your last menses. The womb sheds its lining as it does every month but this time something magical will happen.

By the second week, your womb will start getting prepared to house a baby. Ovulation (release of egg) occurs at the end of the second week and this is the beginning of the window for which fertilisation occurs.

Fertilisation occurs in the third week. The "lucky" sperm fertilises your egg and genetic materials are mixed to form your baby.

Your baby's gender is determined by the chromosomes in the father's sperm. So it is the man that decides the baby’s gender not the woman. Men out there that are punishing their wives for “giving them” only one gender, it is your fault if any.

If 2 eggs are released and are fertilized by two separate sperm, fraternal twins (di-zygotic) have been conceived. Fraternal twins can be the same sex or different sex but will not look identical.

If one egg is fertilized and later divides into two, identical twins will develop (or divides into three, identical triplets will develop, etc).

Identical multiples have the same chromosomal make-up so will be the same gender, and have the same hair/eye colour, blood type, etc.

By the fourth week, a pregnancy test will show a positive result 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 or 🥲🥲🥲 depending on whether you want the pregnancy or not.

You may start to feel bloated, crampy, tired, moody, experiencing sore breasts, nausea/vomiting and a frequent need to pee.

However a good number of woman do not show any symptom at all. But if you are carrying twins or more, then your symptoms will be amplified.

The common denominator if you pay attention to your body is that you will notice that your period has been delayed! This is the time you either get happy, anxious or panic

As for your baby this is the period of implantation. Your baby is medically referred to as a blastocyst at this stage.

It will look for a good spot in your womb and take its roots there. It will then form two groups of cells - one group forms the baby and the other group forms the placenta.

Physically, there is nothing yet that will show in a woman's body for her to know that she's pregnant within the first 4 weeks.

It is important to state here that women intending to get pregnant should be on a daily dose of folic acid.

Stop smoking, drinking of alcohol and use of drugs that are not prescribed by your doctor.

Exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables This is called pre-conception care and it can help reduce the risk of your child having birth defects.
