Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave
and eats a bread it does not harvest.
Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
Pity a nation that despises a passion in its dream,
yet submits in its awakening.
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

Trump brought the NVIDIA CEO on his trip to China to lobby Xi Jinping to buy advanced AI chips, even though it would create a U.S. national security threat.
It turns out Trump also bought millions in NVIDIA's stock.
The President's corruption is a national security disaster.

This is the exact same thing Muslims do in Nigeria.
They don't care about government for the good of the people, they only care about seizing political power.
This is why they voted for Buhari and Tinubu, Nigerian Christians need to wake up and do something about it.
Lamine Yamal eligió incitar contra Israel y fomentar el odio mientras nuestros soldados combaten a la organización terrorista Hamas, una organización que masacró, violó, quemó y asesinó a niños, mujeres y ancianos judíos el 7 de octubre.
Quien apoya este tipo de mensajes debe preguntarse: ¿considera esto humanitario? ¿Es esto moral?
Como Ministro de Defensa del Estado de Israel, no guardaré silencio frente a la incitación contra Israel y contra el pueblo judío.
Espero que un club grande y respetado como @FCBarcelona se desmarque de estas declaraciones y deje claro, de manera inequívoca, que no hay lugar para la incitación ni para el apoyo al terrorismo.
The conversation is no longer about how hard Lagos works.
It's now about who Lagos is working for.
For too long, the system has worked only for a few.
But Lagos should work for all of us.
Not just the connected. Not just the lucky. Not just the powerful.
ALL of us.
I'm Funso Doherty.
And I'm ready to work with you to create a Lagos that works for everyone.

We’re open to working with sponsors for our ongoing documentary series, Power & Plunder.
I started this series because these stories deserve to be told properly. Not rushed, not dumbed down. Episode 1 is already out. Episode 2 drops at 7PM tonight.
To keep this level of quality across the full series, we’re opening the door to brand partnerships. If you’re a brand that wants to reach a smart, curious African audience through premium storytelling, DM me. Let’s build something worth watching together.

Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was on the kill list but survived the Jan. 1966 onslaught.
He didn't plan the coup. He didn't want the job. But for the next 194 days, everything he did was used against him.
This is Power & Plunder, Episode 2.
It is well. I was diagnosed 2022. I survived. This year, Jan, I lost my vision. I didn't know it wasn't a glass thing but a brain thing until I had a seizure. Now radiotherapy and chemotherapy are compulsory, and the money being asked for is running to 20 million naira.

STATEMENT ON RESIGNATION FROM THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESS (ADC) AND JOINING THE NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
(NDC)
Most of us are aware of developments concerning the ADC that have
collectively resulted in a division of the coalition with some leaders moving to
the NDC and some remaining in the ADC.
We had hoped that ADC would be the vehicle that would unite the opposition.
That is now clearly no longer the case. In these circumstances therefore, we
must each individually make a decision as to whether to remain with the ADC
or move to the NDC.
After due consultation, careful deliberation and prayerful reflection, I have joined the NDC. I am convinced that this is the path that will enable us to
deliver the benefits of good governance to those to whom they are due - every
citizen, without exception.
The battle ahead remains formidable, but I invite you to join us on this exciting,
though sometimes turbulent, journey to a brighter future that has been long-
promised and that has so far proven elusive, but that is, by the Grace of God,
now imminent.
Sincerely,
Funso Doherty
