VIDEO 🇳🇬🔥: Muslim leader fires at Mufti of Iwo over Sunday Igboho security network, questions relevance of criticism

“What does Sunday Igboho’s security network have to do with you in particular? The defence of Yorubaland is not an attack on Islam. Millions of Muslim masses support the Yoruba Nation, which brought Sunday into the limelight, and I am one of them.”

"You Came to Lagos with Slippers and Nylon Bags" – Man Delivers Intellectual Smackdown to Failed Musician Ill Bliss for Rewriting Yoruba History

A failed musician by the name of Ill Bliss, whose musical career has been in a state of permanent vegetative arrest, recently decided to lecture Yorubas on who developed Lagos. His claim that Igbos built Lagos is not just historically bankrupt; it is a monument to intellectual laziness and ethnic entitlement.

The response came swift and brutal.

"You only came for greener pastures, not to develop Lagos. 95% of you came to Lagos with slippers and nylon bags. Go and sit down."

This is not an insult. It is a historical fact wrapped in the unsparing grammar of truth.

The economic migration of Igbos to Lagos, like that of many other ethnic groups, was driven by the opportunities created by Yoruba enterprise and governance. The infrastructure, the policies, the urban planning, the educational institutions, and the legal frameworks that made Lagos a magnet for commerce were built by Yoruba people long before the first "Nylon bag" arrived at Oshodi.

To claim that migrants developed the city that welcomed them is the intellectual equivalent of a guest claiming ownership of the house that fed him.

Ill Bliss, whose own career trajectory mirrors the very dependency he falsely projects onto others, has developed nothing. Not a genre. Not a movement. Not a single infrastructure. His claim to relevance expired before his last album flopped. He is a man who could not even develop his own talent, yet he presumes to lecture a civilisation on development.

This is the tragedy of the failed artist turned ethnic crusader. Unable to build a legacy in his chosen field, he pivots to identity politics, hoping to find in collective myth the success he could not achieve as an individual.

But history is not a song you can rewrite because your lyrics were forgettable. Lagos was built by Yoruba hands, Yoruba sweat, and Yoruba vision. Everyone else came to partake. There is no shame in that. The shame is in rewriting the story to erase the host.

Ill Bliss should focus on developing his career. It needs more rescue than Lagos ever did.

“Africa, if you add up the 55 countries of the African Union, that’s about 1.5 billion people—same size as India, same size as China. The big difference is that the imperial powers divided Africa into 55 little countries, not one of which can thrive on its own, whereas India and China, because of the history, remained.

So I tell them every single time I have the opportunity that the African Union is the key. As 55 you can’t make it, but as one African continental economy you can make it.

So what’s happening now is Africa’s population is continuing to rise—it’s the only place in the world with rapid population growth—and all the others are declining. Everyone else has peaked or is just about to peak or actually beginning a decline.

Africa’s population today is 1.5 billion. By 2050 it’ll be 2.5 billion. That’s a lot, adding a billion people in the next quarter century. If you go even farther and just try to extrapolate based on current trends, Africa’s population reaches about 3.5 billion. According to the UN’s most recent forecast, 3.7 billion by the end of the 21st century.

And Africa goes from being 9% of the world population to being more than 30% of the world population. It’s going to be a completely different world.

What do I say to African leaders every time? Be Africa-wide. Second, get on quickly with mass education, because that is the key to economic development. Third, look at what China did—follow that model.”

SOUTHWEST SECURITY UPDATE

Sunday Igboho 🗣:"The 'Iru Ekun' Network I started is a registered security network. I consulted the president before launching it, and he gave his approval.

I urged all Yorubas to join me and flush the criminals out of our forests. They are doing this because a Yoruba man is now the president."

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half.

Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

To @MichelleObama, I’m grateful for all the ways you’ve shown up for our daughters and our family over the years. We love you.

Ain't worth $95 to walk through on a guided tour...wonder how much else the parking will be? And that is $95 a person including 3 year olds in strollers. So a typical family of 4; mom, dad, and 2 kids age 4 and 6 would be...just to walk through on a guided tour, are younready for the sticker shock; $380. And there aren't any rides and you don't get any treats. ...and remember, that does NOT include parking. Guarantee you there parking will be a BOHICA experience if ever there was one, with likely no on street parking allowed within 10 blocks or a requirement for a residential permit showing or you will get towed.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.

@PeterObi If you really are interested in all the things highlighted in your writeup then only one thing is the sine qua non: restructuring of the country. Since you have styled yourself as the saviour of the myriad of problems of the country you never spoke of the need for restructuring.

@BolajiADC You people should better go and form your own brand new party.ADC will be on ballot but not your own version of ADC. The authentic version.
