Before 2027, karma is on journey to shame all the wrong doers and I'm all in.
I pray that those that are on sober reflection and contrite will get soft landing.
I literally saw a video of South Africans suffocating a Nigerian man to death. Ghana has petitioned the ICC over xenophobic attacks, Kenya is boycotting their artists in protest. I've never seen Tyla speak up against xenophobia. But sure, let's do a tour stop in Lagos.
Marine Le Pen in the Middle East:
"I will not wear the Headscarf. I'm leaving."
This is the type of President France needs. And the good news, she is currently leading in the polls 🇫🇷
Opinions from inconsequential commoners are treated as noise.
The Adelekes, Seyi Tinubu and others alike would probably see this and scoff.
Even his own children may marry Igbos, and I pray he has not sworn over his dead body on this matter.
I don't know how the Adelekes would feel about this post. Senator Ayoola Adeleke married an Igbo woman and produced 2 governors and one university owner who is a billionaire. Current Governor, Ademola Adeleke has an Igbo wife. Grand son, Davido married Chioma, Igbo. All these are exceptionally successful people. Tribalism is our undoing in this nation. Tainted blood my foot.
There was no right environment for Dangote. The man took significant risks at scale; that's all
In 1980, Dangote was among many who imported and stayed close to AGIP.
There were many more powerful than Dangote, including a guy who supplied food to ECOMOG in Liberia. There is another who built a house of gold in his village and donated Millions of dollars to an American university. Where are their factories today?
Only Dangote invested capital in that cement economy early on. At scale. I have receipts
Dangote had zero cement plants when OBJ announced his import substitution policy. What were Ashaka, WAPCO, BCC, Eagle Cement, and CCNN doing that allowed a first-time manufacturer of cement to build more scale than them?
The truth is those established names said it's just another policy that will end in eight years and refused to invest significant CAPEX
Same for Banking: Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu and Fola Adeola had zero banking footprint until IBB did the banking reforms. What were First Bank, UBA, Afribank, and Savannah Bank doing to allow these young Turks to build banking capital?
Back to Dangote, there were more than 30 licenses to build refineries in Nigeria, and as far as I know, only one refinery (diesel refinery in Delta) was built before Dangite built his; at massive scale.
Was Dangote the richest man in Nigeria before his cement abd refinery? Hell no. There is a very wealthy Nigerian today who was dealing directly with foreign heads of state, owns oil tankers, and is very, very close to AGIP, even this current government. Why didn't that guy build a refinery? In Nigeria, and get oil allocation? Because it's hard work
The folks close to power today are interested in extracting, not investing. They are seeking government contracts to build roads and import stuff thats why we won't see another “Dangote”
Look at the vast opportunities in Nigeria; as basic as growing tomatoes or breeding cattle, has significant investment happened at scale? No, everyone is importing PMS
In 10 years, Dangote alone could deliver more Exports, CIT, and VAT to Nigeria than others combined. Think about that.
If you are not ready to invest locally at scale, thrn Dangite will
Now he has Norway cash, watch him spend
If there is one thing that stands out for me in the life of this man it is his hatred for laxity and mediocrity you may disagree with his theological stance on some matters which I also do but I so much love his hatred for indiscipline and maliciousness.
Great man.
"This is the hardest and most difficult time in Nigeria. Hardship is everywhere. When former President Goodluck Jonathan was in office, people were shouting. Now that this time has come, they are quiet. Even preachers are quiet. They spoke during Jonathan's time. Can you compare Jonathan's time with now?"

@street_proff E reach now 211 letters way you use before no reach.
The Igbo people are easily becoming the least hated tribes cos the internet is revealing who the real killers are and which culture enthrones known criminals.
But dey focus on wetin you no experience.
Also tell them where a coup and millitary take over created a regional system?
Why did Gowon not reinstate the regional system?
For Nigerians who care to know the wicked distorting history, look at them here.
You left a living Gowon to talk about a dead Ironsi.
For Ibos who do not know the history of this man, here is a brief one:
When Nigeria got her independence, we had a regional system of government similar to what they have in the UK. Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, and Ibos have separate regions.
This man, an Ibo man, cancelled it.
One of the biggest hacks I’ve learnt as a new wife is this:
Never ask a man what he feels like eating!
They NEVER know!! 😭
Anything ke? 😭 Can’t they just be specific?
Anyway, Don’t ask.
Just cook whatever you feel like eating…
they’ll happily eat it. 😂
In 2002, my father was processing my sister’s visa.
One of the requirements was a Police Character Certificate.
He visited a state police headquarters to ask about the process.
A police officer told him it could only be processed in Lagos. He asked my sister to place her fingerprints on a sheet of paper and said he would transfer them onto the official certificate.
He said the fee was N262,000.
My father paid.
Two weeks later, my father returned to collect the document. What he received was a locally stamped paper with what looked like a criminal registry stamp. There was no signature from the Inspector General of Police or anything that suggested it was an official certificate.
Not knowing any better, my father submitted it with my sister’s visa application alongside other documents.
Her visa was refused.
One of the reasons given was that the police certificate could not be verified.
My father went back to the State Police Headquarters to ask what was wrong with the document.
The moment the same officer saw my father, he informed his other colleagues and their demeanor changed.
He then told my father to wait while he “checked something”.
Minutes later, another officer returned and loudly accused my father of forging a fake police report, calling on other officers to arrest him.
Imagine that.
The same institution that collected his money was now trying to make him the suspect.
Fortunately, my father immediately called a former Assistant Inspector General of Police he knew.
The atmosphere changed.
Afterward, my father received threats that if he ever returned to that station, he would be arrested.
That experience stayed with me.
It is one of many reasons I struggle whenever I hear the slogan, “Police is your friend”.
This was my family’s experience, and it left a lasting impression on us.
So “Police is not my friend”.
Many Nigerians don’t realise you have exalted your pastors to the positions of idols you worship and the position of kings who must never be questioned.
In this regard,
Many Nigerian christians are idol worshippers whose god is their pastor.
May God bless Sam Adeyemi for this.
I’ve got a 4 hours (220 miles) drive to Manchester with my family for an Owambe today. The last time I drove this long to the same city, my car was warning me to take a rest after 3 hours drive.

IT'S NOT OVER YET!
Dear @officialEFCC, I am still demanding an answer or a public statement.
Around 3:00 a.m., EFCC officers used a master key to open my room, entered with guns, pointed one at me, and harassed me.
I have a simple question: WHY?
I am not hiding. I am demanding an answer because EFCC has nothing to do with religion, yet I have already suffered years of persecution because of my Christian faith and my work as an Ex-Muslim evangelist.
I have survived attacks. I have escaped several assassination attempts. I lost a colleague in one of those attacks, and I have been arrested and imprisoned before. Because of everything I have been through, I cannot treat an armed midnight raid as "normal."
When someone has already faced repeated threats to his life, every action that puts him in fear deserves a clear explanation. I will never allow anything that could become a threat to my life to be swept under the carpet.
I am not above the law, and I respect lawful investigations. But every law enforcement agency must also respect the rights and dignity of citizens. Accountability is not too much to ask.
I am calling on the EFCC to explain why this operation was carried out in this manner. Nigerians deserve transparency, and I deserve answers.
