I woke up thinking about how fucked up things could be in the next Nigerian elections. First, you have to battle thugs and compromised law enforcement at polling units; then you have to battle INEC. Even if you prevail over both, then you will meet “judges with big houses.” NGMI if you lose to one of them.
This is why the politicians are stealing so much. The OS of Nigeria right now is graft. How can things work out well when this is the underlying system?
Hope is not a strategy, but the opposition is largely powered by hope, while the ruling party is powered by graft and bad incentives. Something has to give. We have to find their weakest point and exploit it to survive.
If you match propaganda for propaganda, bribe for bribe, violence for violence, you will become them. It has to be something else. We have to do mass education and community support. Bigotry has to be countered with truth and generosity.
Instead of letting them use the poor, let's help the poor realize that they are better than tools of the greedy. The revolution can only start from the bottom and not the top. I don't see these boys as the enemy anymore; I see them as tools of our liberation. Those celebrities they worship may also be key to this. They have more power than the politicians realize.
The liberation of Nigeria will come from the streets. The streets are military.
What my ears have heard and the evidence my eyes have seen in the past few hours, sorry, I WILL NEVER in my life believe anyone that comes to cry on social media first.
My God 🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🤦🏽♂️
When the truth finally comes out, many people will be heartbroken!😢
🚨 Newcastle United to sanction sale of Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal for £75m. #AFC started lower, #NUFC wanted higher but compromise in process of being sealed to grant 28yo Brazil int’l midfielder desired move. Lyon entitled to 20% of profit @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/e1rrfvZTMS

I wish I could look back and say I was wrong. I wished more people had listened. I was bashed and ridiculed for having the audacity to say Covid was treatable and people did not have to die. I am honored to have been given the privilege to treat hundreds of thousands and save lives. Fauci is the Impersonification of evil.

Just had a call from a friend who is a photographer for Madrid;
Vini Jr has declined his contract renewal & has asked Madrid to accept Arsenal's offer.
I've been told it's ~£110m all in (add-ons etc), with a wage of £350k for Vini, offset by his 100% image rights in the UK.
Again, it's only what I've been told by a buddy. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too high in case it's not 100% correct.
Just wanted to pass on what I was told.

Tenho visto um pessoal confuso:
"Como assim o Vini aceitaria do Arsenal a MESMA proposta que recusou do Real?"
Não é a mesma proposta. Parece igual, mas o que ele leva pra casa é diferente.
Vou tentar explicar 🧵 (1/11)
