Idris just shared his second semester result with me. His current CGPA is 4.76 (First Class).

He is from Kogi State. He is one of the students who scored above 300 in JAMB in 2024 but couldn’t find a sponsor. He almost went back to farming.

The investment is paying off.

We will be deploying high speed internet at Engineering Faculty in UNN to cover all departments.

This will be for students and staff of the faculty only.

This will enable a new wave of research and learning there.

We will become the greatest workforce in Africa in 10 years.

The only thing I have to add to Nigeria's internal political conversation concerning 2027 is this:

Whether the vehicle you people eventually agree on is Peter Obi or Atiku or coalition or whatever, you must prepare to carry out strategic violence. Because casting votes alone will not remove Jabba The Hutt from that office. Voting is only 35% of the job, and the ruling puppets have NO INTENTION of respecting your "votes." I can tell you that for free.

You have my word.

Whatever melodrama they are staging is for the sole purpose of sucking you into doing a live-action repeat of 2023 when you won the election and lost the objective of the election - to remove cancer called APC from Aso Rock. The last election that this APC pestilence won in Nigeria was 10 years ago. They did not win in 2019, and they certaintly did not win in 2023. It made no difference. So if you want to reclaim Nigeria from these flesh-eating bacteria, you have to make the vote meaningful by adding strategic violence to back it up.

That's what the Ghanaians did last year and I gained a new level of respect for them. No unnecessary social media cho cho cho, no Twitter spaces, no fiery newspaper columns, no noise whatsoever. I was in Addis Ababa during the Ghanaian election monitoring it closely, and I feared it would play out like 2023 in Nigeria - one result at the polling booth, a different result at the collation centre, a fraudulent announcement, and ultimately a fraudulent court judgment and then everybody grumbles and goes home.

Instead, these Ghanaians that you see smiling and bantering with you on the TL (very silent and deadly people by the way) had created offline networks and closed groups to carry out strategic enforcement of their electoral will on election night. They were prepared for everything - fake ballot papers that were pre-thumbprinted for the incumbents, incumbent party agents trying to bully collation centre operatives, even the incumbent party's efforts to manipulate the media narratives - all of these things were shut down with real physical violence where necessary.

Men properly collected that night.

And this is my key takeaway: when it became clear to the uniformed men with guns that it was either they side with the ruling party and risk causing an uncontrollable nationwide riot, or allow the will of the people prevail and still have a country tomorrow, they did the reasonable thing - because ultimately they are rational humans too. That is actually the key to winning the colonial bullshit we call "elections" in Africa.

You have to give the uniformed gun-holders a reason to recognise your victory, and force them to make a decision.

Nobody in Nigeria gave them that decision to make in 2023, and that's why Jabba The Hutt is your president. So if you actually want anything to change in 2027, be more like the Ghanaians. Less cho cho cho, fewer Twitter spaces about obvious things that everybody already knows, no public platforms to expose your plans to the whole world so they can neutralise them, less impotent fire breathing, less waiting aimlessly for Tinubu's FBI files that you will not do anything with when they come out, and more silent, controlled, and methodical violence. No need for noise. Just action.

That is the only way you won't waste your time and PVC in 2027. It's not by going on the internet and using Peter Obi's name as a talisman or engagement bait. My job is to tell you the truth.

Whether you choose to listen is up to you entirely.

Breaking: Appeal court in Calabar today 30th April upholds the conviction of Professor Peter Ogban for manipulating and announcing fake election results in the 2019 North West Senatorial District election in favour of Senator Godswill Akpabio. The court affirmed the three-years conviction and sentence to prison and frown at his role as university professor in the fraudulent manipulation of election results.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I am not trying to convince anybody about anything. I'm not Jesus and I'm not interested in having disciples.

If you can read and use your brain, you don't need me or anyone to tell you that if there is a government whose foundational Africa Policy document published in 1974 explicitly states that population growth in Africa threatens its access to cheap natural resources, and that policy action must be taken to reduce Africa's population and economic growth so that Africa does not compete with it for access to Africa's own resouurces, the actions that government is likely to take in Africa's most populous country will NOT be geared toward the well-being of that country.

But a lot of you in Nigeria, especially you glasses-wearing, foreign-accent-feigning, used-car-driving, tokunbo elite, stomach-worshipping idiots who put on affectations of knowledge, but have heads as empty as recycled Bourvita tins have never even HEARD of the Kissinger Report.

You don't know ANYTHING about the world you live in, but your mission is to reflexively fight anything that threatens the short term interests of your stomach. Stupid fucking idiots who cannot read a 2,000-word article without taking breaks for their brain to cool will come here and call me a "conspiracy theorist" because I am quoting publicly available knowledge and resources that these dumbfucks will NEVER open unless it's to pretend to knowledgable about what they knowing about.

Carrying big titles all over the place: "Investor," "Broadcast Journalist," "Human Rights Activist," "Founder," but all of your brains are fucking EMPTY! Dumb lunatics walking around inside a minefield saying that landmines are a "conspiracy theory." Walking, talking, opinion-having wastes of perfectly useful organic human manure.

And no, I'm not providing a link to any document. The Kissinger Report is disinformation, American foreign policy direction for Africa is a conspiracy theory, and David Hundeyin is looking for retweets, because your retweets are what feed him and keep him warm at night.

Dead bodies that are too stupid to realise it.

What should we make of all the negative remarks about Nigeria?

Recently, Nigerian-born Kemi Badenoch, a leader in the United Kingdom's Conservative Party, took a serious swipe at our dear country.

She stated that she would not want Britain to become like poor Nigeria, where a failed government destroys lives.

Nigerians have had mixed reactions to her comments—some have criticized her, while others feel she simply stated the obvious and should not be vilified.

A few years ago, a respected Nigerian newspaper lamented an informational piece aimed at Americans intending to visit Nigeria, which described the country in very unflattering terms.

The travel advisory highlighted two major challenges: poor infrastructure and insecurity.

Anyone familiar with the Nigerian landscape knows that our performance in these two areas is horrendously low. And sadly, the US embassy did not shy away from pointing this out.

On health, the advisory confirmed that while Nigeria has well-trained health professionals, the country is lacking in quality healthcare facilities.

It was noted that essential medications, including those for diabetes and hypertension, are often unavailable, and that medicine should be purchased with extreme caution due to counterfeit risks.

Five years after those remarks, the situation remains largely unchanged, if not worse. International reproach, such as that from Badenoch, and negative reviews on official websites warning citizens of the country, should serve as a challenge for us to do better. It’s not enough to resort to blind patriotism by vilifying those who point out our shortcomings.

Instead, we should use these criticisms as a catalyst to prioritize critical areas of development and improve the lives of our people.

When negative remarks are featured on a country's official websites, warning citizens to avoid certain risks, how can we expect to attract investors? These painful rebukes, including those coming from our own, should push us to strive for a new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I'd wake up and wash my face because the reality is that Canada doesn't want you anymore (and is, in fact, deporting people at a record rate), oil companies in Nigeria don't pay $375 as a monthly wage (it's significantly more than that), but it doesn't matter anyway because they won't hire you.

So instead of wasting your audience's valuable time on fantasies about asinine economic scenarios that are as realistic as the horny latina stepsister on Pornhub who always gets stuck in a washing machine, perhaps tell them that their puppet government in Aso Rock is the reason that in the year Nigeria was forecasted to become Africa's first trillion dollar economy, people are instead dreaming of earning $375/month or escaping to another country.

Use your platform to let your audience know that if they don't rebel and forcefully kick these CIA plants out of the offices they are illegally occupying, their dreams will keep shrinking and their lives will keep getting smaller and smaller, until one day, they won't even be able to afford the data package to come online and fantasise about things that will never happen.

You can't still be selling dreams to your audience in Q4, 2024. All of us are getting older and poorer.

Why I Congratulated Gen. Gowon at 90

My felicitation with Nigeria’s former military Head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, on his 90th birthday anniversary, which was celebrated by a cross-section of Nigerians, has been received with mixed feelings by some Nigerians, and some have expressed their sentiments publicly, and privately to me.

I share in some of them, and I feel that as a leader in the vanguard of providing direction for our country to shift base away from all our shortcomings, including the issues that caused our avoidable cruel civil war, I needed to show to the World that the ultimate heroism is forgiving the enemy and moving forward.

Indisputably, the darkest part of our 64-year journey as a nation is the 30 months of civil war from 1967 to 1970 and God almighty whose way is not our way must have a reason why he kept the Chief Prosecutor of the war who is General Gowon alive to be 90 years today and the man who saw the end of the war, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to be there at 87 years super-heading all the moves to see a reconciled and just Nigeria.

There was also a developing new spirit why the same country, Nigeria, gave the Biafra leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a heroic national burial on 2 March 2012, when he joined his ancestors, coincidentally under my tenure as Governor of Anambra state.

The status of the burial given to Dim Ojukwu remains the boldest indication to the World that Nigeria as a country is disposed to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation.

There are various ways human beings can respond to acts of evil, especially one that claimed millions of lives.

One is the tragedy of revenge, and another offers the hope of forgiveness in an attempt to forget. The latter conforms neatly with the template I adopted in greeting Gen Gowon at 90 years old.

In all my dealings with human beings, I try to be guided by my faith as a Christian in a strong message preached by Jesus Christ himself and underscored in reflections in St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 3:13: “Bear with each other and forgive one another: if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” And to Ephesians 4: 31-32 “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice”

Whatever reason I will give for joining the rest of Nigerians to greet General Gowon, May never truly conform with some persons, especially direct victims of the war, but anger, hurt, and bitterness are the commonest responses to cruelty.

It fuels sectarianism, it leads to resistance and avoidable blood feuds that we are witnessing across the globe, and even in our country and it does not abate.

There is something about forgiveness, it sets the person doing it free. Forgiveness is more a process than an instinct.

It’s hate that has put our society, blessed by God to be the greatest land in the black World, down, but this hate has to stop.

I was under ten years old when the Nigeria/Biafra war started in 1967. Most of my supporters across the country joining me get a new Nigeria were born after the war, and I didn’t feel I should drag them back to the dark side of our history by being unforgiving.

I feel such an act will derail the message of a New Nigeria that we insist is POssible.

‘Must you greet him? Why didn’t you keep quiet?’ some angrily say to me, but that will still be injurious to our journey to a new Nigeria where all political vices, including but not limited to ethnic, religious, bitterness, and regional segregation, are eliminated.

Various personal experiences of victims of injustice across the globe who have chosen to put ugly things behind them visibly demonstrate the transformative power of forgiveness in healing personal and collective wounds.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Whenever you mistakenly feel like taking Nigerians seriously, always remember that the first 2 Christmases that Zenith Bank HQ decorated Ajose Adeogun roundabout with a plastic Santa and red boxes, people ripped open the boxes hoping to find presents.

Nigerians are trained from childhood to believe in miracles and magic above all else. Our people literally cannot distinguish their fantasies and malaria fever hallucinations from real life, neither can they distinguish their opinions from objective facts. It is the world's largest agglomeration of completely delusional people who live inside their own heads.

Every Nigerian believes they have "enemies" who are responsible for stagnating their progress, and they are one miraculous event away from becoming Femi Otedola. Nothing concern our people with market research, market share, market size, and any other data points that can explain business success or failure. All na prayer or "juju."
