Your "authorized dealer" is mixing original with fake from his own quack factory and selling both in the same mart. The real counterfeiters wear suits and have receipts.

Dear bloody civilians,
I have noticed your ignorance about the military. To you, everyone in uniform is infantry or artillery. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll teach you a thing or two.
Nigerians, your military is uncharted territory to you. You’ve been trained to see them as mini-gods. The moment you see a uniform, you start shitting your pants, so you know nothing about what goes on behind the scary face and ragged boots.
The military, like any organized company, has multiple departments and jobs. Dangote Cement has accountants, drivers, lawyers, and human resources. The military of any country has the same professions and more. Artillery and infantry (what you call the “real soldiers”) are just extra departments.
Like Dangote Cement’s job is to sell cement, the military’s sole duty is to defend a country’s borders, its territory, and the lives of its citizens, not to terrorize the people it is meant to protect.
No department is more important than another. No infantry unit leaves for a mission without its medical personnel, mechanics, or supply units.
So when you ask, “I thought you were in the army, why are you a nurse?” it sounds so off I often don’t know how to answer. When soldiers get injured, they don’t go to civilian hospitals. They eat food prepared by other military departments. When a soldier gets in trouble, they are handed to the military’s justice system, not politicians or civilians justice department.
We all get trained in weaponry. Some get more of it and use it more often, but we all still need to be proficient. Some are trained to defend others; some are trained to defend their immediate environment. We all defend in our capacity.
I was trained for almost 24 months in skills to keep people alive long enough for help to arrive, with anything I carry in my bag or see around me, while also learning to defend myself and my immediate environment.
Next time you see a soldier in uniform, politely ask: “What’s your job in the service?” or “How exactly do you serve the country?” They’ll tell you. They’re not monsters. They’re humans like you, with more training than the average civilian.
You are welcome.
Until you run for office you will not understand why Nigerian politicians that get into office are heartless and ruthless!
The heartless and ruthless (plus entitled) billing from citizens when you are running for office is enough!
I have asked repeatedly, do we have the moral justification to tell elected politicians not to loot? We say they must use their money. We even bill them heartlessly and we wonder when they get in and start recovering the money they spent plus profit!
And they also loot for future spendings.
Enough of this same storyline,same movie pattern during all dis years.... can't you all come together,write a story on a murder mystery,crime investigation,love? y'all have to come out of ur comfort zone and produce something great
DEAR RUFAI OSENI, BEFORE YOU MOCK ABIKE DABIRI'S NTA CAREER, PLEASE COLLECT YOUR HISTORY LESSON! 😂
Rufai, were you still in secondary school when @abi Abike Dabiri-Erewa was investigating the famous Mary, the Miracle Baby case on NTA Newsline?
Because the way you are demanding evidence in the comments suggests you may have skipped an important chapter of Nigerian broadcasting history.
Let us educate you.
LESSON ONE: ABIKE DABIRI AND THE MIRACLE BABY INVESTIGATION
In 1995, a controversial story emerged about an elderly woman claiming to have given birth to a baby.
What followed was not a studio shouting competition.
There were competing maternity claims, police involvement, DNA examinations and court proceedings.
Abike Dabiri followed that investigation for approximately EIGHT YEARS.
The case became a landmark public-interest story, and she subsequently received a UNICEF Child Friendly Award for her reporting.
She also supported Mary's education.
Rufai, eight years of pursuing a story is not eight minutes of interrupting a guest before a commercial break.
LESSON TWO: WHAT EXACTLY WAS NTA UNDER MILITARY RULE?
NTA means NIGERIAN TELEVISION AUTHORITY.
It was established under military government authority through Decree No. 24 of 1977.
It was a federally controlled broadcaster operating in an era when military decrees restricted press freedom.
Now explain something to Nigerians:
Were you expecting NTA journalists to stroll into General Abacha's office, collect his financial records and announce a corruption documentary during the nine o'clock news?
Do you understand the consequences journalists faced for challenging military regimes?
Some journalists were detained. Some were imprisoned. Others went into exile.
You cannot intelligently discuss journalism during military dictatorship without discussing censorship, editorial control and the dangers journalists faced.
LESSON THREE: LET US VISIT YOUR OWN NEWSROOM'S HISTORY. 😂
Your chairman, Nduka Obaigbena, entered media publishing long before ARISE TV existed.
He launched ThisWeek magazine in July 1986, aged approximately 27.
On January 22, 1995, he launched THISDAY newspaper.
Those were military-rule years.
So, Rufai, since you have appointed yourself the Chief Examiner of Military-Era Journalism, let us apply your examination to every media institution.
Can you identify a specific corruption investigation published by ThisWeek during the Babangida years?
Give us the headline, publication date, subject and documentary evidence.
What specific investigations did THISDAY undertake during the Abacha years?
We know THISDAY challenged that regime and its journalists faced intimidation. Its historical record deserves examination, just as NTA's does.
But why should your questions stop at Madam Abike?
LESSON FOUR: JOURNALISM IS BIGGER THAN EXPOSING GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION.
Investigative journalism includes exposing child trafficking, medical misconduct, institutional abuse, injustice and violations of human rights.
A journalist investigating a missing child is practising journalism.
A journalist identifying a victim of exploitation is practising journalism.
A journalist following a sensitive case until it reaches the courts is practising journalism.
So your suggestion that Abike must produce a military-corruption exposé before her investigative career qualifies as journalism is a remarkably narrow definition of the profession.
FINALLY, ABOUT NIGERIANS IN INDIA
Their conditions and treatment deserve serious investigation.
Ask for detention records, consular intervention dates, deportation orders and evidence of assistance.
Hold NiDCOM accountable where the evidence warrants it.
But Nigerians in detention are not props for television quarrels.
Rufai, the difference between asking a question and completing an investigation is sometimes eight years of patient evidence-gathering.
Abike's Newsline investigation left a trail in the public record. Your next challenge should begin by reading it.
A microphone can amplify your question.
It cannot do your homework.
CLASS DISMISSED. 😂

Where Satire Meets Real News.
WORST? COMPARED TO WHAT?
Branding an entire generation of supporters as "Worst" is, to me, not only overreaching but ignoble - one I did not expect a woman of your age and experience to deploy. There are extreme paths responsible elders must resist travelling, and this is one of them. There are cliffs elders must not leap from, ma, I insist, this is one of them.
This is a brand of supporters who have stayed dedicated to the vision since 1999, recruiting millions more as the seasons evolved - many of whom were not yet born when Asiwaju was governor, had not yet matured into political consciousness at that time, or simply belonged to a different political philosophy.
And "Worst" compared to whom? The Obidients? Certainly not. The Elite Buharists? Definitely not.
This same brand of supporters, in 2022/2023, walked through fire and did not become ash. They survived:
The ravenous Obidients;
Dangerous religious bigotry;
Evil machinations by elements in the Villa - the snake that bites from inside one's own barn;
The demonic twin policies of Cash and Fuel scarcity, designed to break the will of the common man;
The painful betrayal by their mentor's most trusted allies, associates and proteges - those who ate from the same plate, yet plotted at the same table;
And the back-stabbing from your kind - Elite Buharists - with whom we once locked shields to defend the honour of the late President Buhari, shortcomings and all, expecting neither reward nor thanks.
Yet this same league of loyal and principled supporters surmounted every hurdle, escaped every trap, and emerged from the battles within and without unscathed - to deliver their candidate to a well-deserved victory.
Are these the same ones you now brand "Worst"?
Perhaps the word you reached for was Resilient. For in three short years, this same league has pushed every adversary - including your kind, once comrades, now merely echoes - to the far edges of relevance, where your wailing lands like rain on a tin roof: loud, but leaving nothing behind.
And what "problems" do you speak of, ma? If you imagined Asiwaju was owed a second term served on a silver platter, untouched by rivalry or resistance, then I fear your many years have not necessarily brought the exposure to history one would expect.
Even the great Awolowo - visionary of visionaries - never tasted such uncontested dominance, not even within the Western Region he built with his own hands. His rivalry with Penkelemess is well documented, as is his agonizing conflict with Akintola.
Need I remind you, ma: we practice democracy, not monarchy. Ifá does not crown a President - the ballot does. And as with every election in a mature democracy, the road to power is never a straight path free of thorns. Not even Buhari, the Golden Star of the North to whom you gave your whole devotion, walked a race without contest. We were the soldiers who bled on that battleground Ma.
Finally, I implore you, ma: as you once backed the student against his own teacher and returned home with empty hands, you may well repeat that journey - backing the Kleptocrat and perennial contender against the Visionary.
Your right to choose wrongly will always be respected - but leave the Progressives to walk their path, and mind your own footing.
Good morning Severally.

The African Union is set to launch Africa’s first rating agency on the 7th of October,2026.
Throwback to the last Africa CEO Forum In Kigali where President Tinubu made the call for the establishment of Africa’s independent rating agency to ensure transparency.
See who they said did not go to school ?.
Africa’s rating agency is a step in the right direction. It will struggle with credibility issue but it must earn the respect of global lenders.
The cost of borrowing for African countries is too high and one of the systemic issues of our under development.
Africa must leverage its own resources while at the table in pursuit of capital
