An accountant, a Traveller, a believer in life. Nigerian ambassador to the world

A gentleman says he paid millions to be appointed to lead a government agency.

Then he was asked to send 48% of the agency's takeoff grant to a top politician/civil servant.

This is why you should not waste time on budget announcements; always focus on implementation reports.

Nigeria does not have a revenue problem; Nigeria has a spending problem

Nigeria did not just discover lithium and rare earths.

They have been discovered for decades.

A detailed Geological Survey of Nigeria (GSN) study mapped and described pegmatites in central Nigeria as far back as 1946, yes 1946. Titled “The Pegmatites of Central Nigeria. Geological Survey of Nigeria Bulletin 17, pp. 1–61” by Jacobson, R. and Webb, J.S.

Nigeria ignored these solid minerals and focused on oil.

That's why there are bandits around states with significant precious minerals, to drive out the local population and expropriate land for local mining.

Elon will not come to a place where bandits roam free.

Peter Lifu represents a new & deleterious genre in judicial decision making in #Nigeria. He is infinitely more wilful & more dangerous than a rascal. He is an unquestioned leader among an emerging gang in the role of the #JudicialHitman.

APC gathered in Edo State. Instead of sharing what Tinubu has done for the people, Oshiomhole used almost all his time to talk about Peter Obi - not Sowore, not Atiku, not Seyi Makinde.

Una know say Akpabio wan drive am commot from the Senate. To show Tinubu say, "My beef with Akpabio no get anything to do with you. I still support you," he even went to print chain everywhere for him shirt - front, back, and even the cap - to show loyalty.

Another way to show loyalty na to talk about Obi, to show Tinubu say, "The only man wey you dey fear, wey Nigerians wan see, see the way me I dey deal with am."

For APC now, to show say you are loyal to Tinubu, just help am conquer him fear of Obi.

Just like this one wey go file court case against NDC few days after Obi joined NDC. E no file the case for January, no be February, no be March, no be April, no be May, not even early June. But immediately Obi joined NDC, the person wey wan please Tinubu or give am moral support rush go court with NDC matter.

The worst thing be say PMP is not even a registered registered political party.

Again, if you want Tinubu's favour, just help am kill him fear of Obi by attacking Obi.

🚨 A reporter asked Cristiano Ronaldo for his thoughts on Zlatan Ibrahimović's criticism of him.

Reporter:🗣️ "Cristiano, what do you have to say about Zlatan Ibrahimović's criticism of you?"

Cristiano Ronaldo: 🗣️ "I don't have much to say about him, to be honest. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I respect that, but I know he's probably bitter about my success.

I have been told many times that he talks me down in interviews, but it's not something I lose sleep over. What I've achieved in football speaks for itself, and it's something he never managed to accomplish.

We've had completely different careers, and the records, trophies, and consistency over the years tell the story. When you're at the top for so long, people will always have something to say about you. Some admire you, others criticize you that's just part of football.

I don't need to respond to every comment. My focus has always been on working hard, helping my team, and continuing to enjoy the game. If he wants to keep talking, that's his choice. I'll keep doing what I've always done and let my football do the talking." 🔊

The @OfficialDSSNG has just initiated the most laughable charges against the former chairman of @NigBarAssoc in Shendam, Plateau State, accusing him of cybercrimes against a community! They're seeking to prosecute him in Abuja too. All at the instigation of a senior judge in Abuja.

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

The first and only time I ever bet on football was in 1990, when I bet that Cameroon would beat Argentina in the World Cup. The odds were 20-1. I bet £1 (that was all I could afford then) and won £20! Madam and I were living in one room in Seven Sisters, London, then. We were finally able to order egg fried rice and beef in oyster sauce from the local Chinese restaurant. Before then, it was just egg fried rice with chilli sauce and no protein.

I don’t suffer before for this my life o. And this woman suffered with me. Some days, we could only afford one meal and she would lie that she had eaten and give me the meal to eat when I came back from work. I grew up with many relatives living with us. So, by upbringing, I was raised not to finish everything on my plate. It was by watching how she wolfed down everything left on my plate that I finally realised that this woman had not eaten and had sacrificed herself to make sure I ate.

So, now, when anybody says “She’s the one eating all his money, I ask: “Before nko? Were you there when we were eating egg fried rice with no protein from Red Square Chinese Restaurant in 1990?” 😂

My coursemates and I contributed ₦1.2 million for one of our classmates who has been jobless for the past 6 years.

We raised the money to help him learn a skill or start a small business so he could get back on his feet.

Just last week, he sent his wedding invitation in the group.

The whole group went silent.

When we asked him why, he said since he now had “a little money,” he decided it was the right time to marry his girlfriend of 4 years.

We said nothing.

He sent another message:

“Guys please, I can’t do this alone. My wedding budget is ₦3.2 million. I need your support.”

They removed him from the group immediately🙄

Chief Tinubu @officialABAT your government is a DISGRACE ❗️

Omoyele Sowere @sowore is the Least of your problems, FREE SOWORE and go after Terrorist and Criminals in your government ❗️

@OfficialDSSNG when would you manhandle Terrorist and Kidnappers like this? SHAME❗️💔🇳🇬

[Oyindamola🙄 @dammiedammie35]

Sowore live on IG now: “Imagine people that had been in t£rror!st capt!vity for months now, sending me to Kuje pris0n now feels like a vacation. Please nobody should feel bad for me or do something I won’t be proud of. Tinubu wants to do everything that’ll make him rig the 2027 election in a way that nobody will know he’s r!gging, that’s why he’s buying houses and cars for judges, he has embedded the justice of our court within the executive branch”

Sowore says as he’s waiting to be taken to Kuje pris0n any moment from now.

Nigerians Express Shock Over Magnitude Of Fully Armed Security Operatives That Besieged Kuje Pr!s0n Facility Amid Sowore Remand 🙆🏼‍♂️🧎🏻‍♂️‍➡️

[Abubakar Yunusa @Pharmacio001]

In his final year at the University of Lagos, while Sowore was in the examination hall taking an exam, security operatives were waiting for him outside the classroom.

From 1998 to date:
Security agencies in Nigeria have arrested activist Omoyele Sowore 548 times.
He has been remanded in detention facilities 46 times.
He has faced trial in court 98 times.

Sowore has taken governors, senators, lawmakers, security agencies, and even the President of Nigeria to court. This is a man who has spent much of his life fighting legal and political battles.

WATCH: Moment Prison Officials Arrive At Abuja Court, Take Sowore To Kuje Correctional Centre After DSS’ Violent Arrest

[SK @Djoko_UTD]

Yesterday, Tiafoe and Cerundolo both won a ATP 500 tournament (Queens & Halle), But Tiafoe will get almost 2x money Cerundolo gets despite having same prize money on paper...

For anyone interested, Here's a deep dive of financial side of tennis....

Both Halle and Queens champions get the exact same €483,145. But in reality, Halle Champion gets 2x the prize money of Queens champion...

Here is the exact financial breakdown of why the UK Tax Trap changes everything 👇

Winning in London means dealing with one of the most aggressive tax laws in global sports:

The Tax Hit: The UK pushes elite winners into the highest tax bracket, taking a brutal 45% chunk (~€217,415).

The Endorsement Trap: The UK HMRC can tax a percentage of your global sponsorships (Nike, Rolex, etc.) based on the days you spend in the country.

The Overhead: 15% goes to coach/physio commissions (~€72,470), plus ~€10,000 for London logistics and team travel.

NET TAKE-HOME: ~€183,260 (Only 38% of your check!)

🏟️ The German Safe Haven (Halle Open)
Winning in Germany allows players to shield their earnings significantly:

📈 The Tax Break: Germany applies a flat, isolated withholding tax on foreign athletes of just 15.8% (~€76,335).

Endorsement Shield: Germany doesn't touch your global sponsor money. They only care about the court winnings.

The Overhead: Same 15% team cut (~€72,470), but logistics drop to ~€5,000 because the player hotel is attached directly to the stadium complex.

💰 NET TAKE-HOME: ~€329,340 (A massive 68% of your check!)

The Bottom Line: By choosing Halle over Queen's, a player pockets an extra €146,080 for the exact same week of work. This massive gap is why Queen’s has to pay absurdly high "appearance fees" just to convince top stars to play in London! 🎾💼

[Ifeoluwa @olajumokeokenla]

Last year in April, HMRC sent me a letter saying I owed them over £400… The thing didn’t sit right with me because I knew how much tax I had paid.

So I sat down with ChatGPT, uploaded all my payslips and told it to calculate everything.
ChatGPT came back and said:

“You’re not owing them. They owe you over £700.” Armed with confidence and spreadsheets, I called HMRC and gave them a full breakdown…

Plenty back and front oh cos I no gree for the Indian guy..
sha long story short, they discovered that they owed me £470…

Me: “cash or transfer”??? 😋😋

First Nigerian to drag HMRC and win.🏆

[Sokratis @MaisheraTM]

$18 million embezzlement scandal is still hanging on his neck, and the same clown his giving us lectures about Peter Obi. Dr Yusuf does not in any way represent the interests of the North. He lacks the integrity, character and capacity to speak to us about Obi or any other candidate. Nigerians should not take such a person with a character deficit seriously
