π Unveiling My Journey into Game UI Design! π
Hey Twitter fam! π I wanted to share a unique twist of fate that led me to become a Game UI Designer β all thanks to a transformative post by @Olatoba9 here on Twitter.

So ECOWAS knew that Nigeria's 2023 election was rigged, yet they still rewarded President Tinubu with the chairmanship of the organization?
Now they are talking.
Why now?
What has changed?
If you knew from the beginning that Nigeria's election was rigged, why did you immediately hand over the chairmanship of ECOWAS to the same person who emerged from that election?
Why keep quiet then, only to start speaking now?
Clowns.

"With the way this government is going, I may not even be alive to contest the 2027 election. Every single thing I do for a living, this government is deliberately frustrating. I face frustration every day. They recently locked my car at the airport."

Argentina had won two World Cup (in 1978 and 1986) before Messi's debut, and had won about 14 Copa America titles. It took the national almost 40 years to win another trophy, fourty good years in 2022. Now despite all Messi's accomplishments since his debut, that is, 35 titles in 17 seasons, Messi also won his first major international title in 2021 which was the Copa America, taking 16 years into his career, and almost 17 years to add the World Cup trophy to his collection.
Now during his years of Int'l trophy drought he was heavily criticized even by Argentines, especially after missing the crucial PK in 2016.
Messi lost four international finals back to back, almost quit the team, and had to struggle to win his first Copa America and World Cup, but all of a sudden it was rigged for him? Be serious.

I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.
However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.
Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.
You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.
If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.
The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven. They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it? Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.
Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?
Again, silence.
Then comes the most curious part of the story.
The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.
That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.
Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?
These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.
The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.
But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.
This is bigger than one man.
If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.
If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.
If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.
If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.
Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.
The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.
Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.

Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?
Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid β¦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?
No, this is not a movie.
According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid β¦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another β¦200 million later.
But that's not even the biggest part of the story.
He says the real trouble started when he refused to part with 48 percent of a β¦24 billion take-off grant meant for the agency he was appointed to head.
Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, these are his allegations. The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied any connection with the agency altogether.
And that is exactly where this story becomes unbelievable.
The Chief of Staff says the agency does not exist.
Prince Adeyemi says it does.
Not only that, he says it has over β¦1 billion in the Appropriation Act, over 300 approved staff by the head of service of the federation, and even accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Now tell me...
If the agency does not exist, who inserted its budget into the Appropriation Act?
Who approved over 300 staff?
Who processed the files?
Who opened the accounts?
Or are all these claims completely fabricated?
On the other hand, if the agency truly exists, then why is the Presidency denying its existence?
Can you see why this matter cannot simply be dismissed?
Somebody is not telling Nigerians the truth.
Personally, I am less interested in the drama than in the documents.
Produce the appointment letter.
Produce the budget.
Produce the payroll.
Produce the CBN records.
Produce the evidence of the alleged payments, if they exist.
Let Nigerians see who is lying.
Because if a man can wake up one morning and falsely accuse the Chief of Staff to the President of collecting β¦600 million and demanding a share of β¦24 billion, then that is a national scandal.
And if he is telling the truth...
Then that is an even bigger national scandal.
Either way, this matter deserves much more than a press statement.
Nigerians deserve answers.

It is one thing to be overtly stupid. It is another to be heartless.
