Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?
Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid ₦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?
No, this is not a movie.
According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid ₦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another ₦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 ₦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 ₦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 ₦600 million and demanding a share of ₦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.
The painful thing about the children that were kidnapped in oyo is that no one in this current misfortune of an administration is saying anything about those babies. This is so cruel, they have been there for 44 fucking days!!!
46 Young School Children and their teachers Kidnapped in Oyo State are still in captivity!
42 Young Students Kidnapped in Borno State are still captivity!
Good morning Nigeria
43 days later and the abducted kids and school teachers in Oyo State have not been rescued
Leave Peller olodo, Ycee and Akara gist for now
if this pops up on your timeline, repost it; it costs you zero naira.
The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".
44 days have passed and neither @officialABAT nor @ProfZulum deem it fit to address the parents of the kidnapped school kids or take decisive action to rescue them. your silence in times of grief and fear for the children and their parents speaks volume #BringBackOurChildren
We simply MUST emancipate ourselves from the mental slavery that is tribalism.
Tribalism is an ungodly, wicked, and generationally divisive thing, and we have to cut it out like the cancer that it is.
A wanted thief who stole 110B from the coffers of Kogi State cosigned by the President is telling legislators to pass everything - EVEN IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
This porcupine has people supporting him on here.
