I Took Over Leadership from Myself; Late Buhari Is Me, He Was My Partner – Tinubu
If they don’t want to see the hope in the roads we have built, in the children we have raised, or in the economy we are growing, we will give them eyeglasses.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
There’s an incentive for media folks to platform such people. Firstly, they know most people aren’t discerning enough to know charlatans from genuine critics. Secondly, they like incendiary commentary that they know will “pull crowd”. Most of us are jobless, so we jump on it….😂
Has Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah uttered a word since the government he serves started the coordinated attacks on Cardinal John Onaiyekan & the Universal Catholic Church?
@Urchilla01 Every single day since Bola and his cronies got into power, they have been very single minded and explicit about their evil and wickedness.
Even a Satanist cannot look at these guys and not conclude that are evil.
@Sai_Ishaya_ You remember the interview between Prof Utomi & Seun, where he accused the media of validating impersonators. That's exactly what's going on here.
How & when did the guy in question qualify as a food critic?
All the way from San Francisco, by the way.
You are enjoying a working system and are attacking the church because you want to support a drug-smuggling president?
I know that your principal may not have any verifiable primary or secondary school records. Still, the cronies around him may have never received a proper education if not for the mission schools the church established.
PBAT will come and go, but these institutions will continue. Your tweets will also be evergreen. Continue moving like a possessed serpent.
Nigerian Catholic clerics tend to speak truth to power more boldly because the global Catholic system trains, protects, and funds them in ways that make them structurally independent from political and economic pressures - and this pattern exists not only in Nigeria but across the worldwide Catholic Church.
When you trace history, you'd realise the catholic church at some point was beyond just a religious institution. For instance, during the medieval period in history between 5th and 15th centuries, the catholic church became the most influential institution in Europe, the guardian of knowledge through monasteries and universities, a political force, often more powerful than kings, and also a cultural engine shaping art, music, architecture, and philosophy.
To answer your question:
- Catholic clergies are structurally protected.
- Their income, housing, and mission do not depend on politicians or wealthy members.
- They are intellectually trained for moral confrontation.
- Years of philosophy and theology shape their worldview.
- They belong to a global institution that encourages speaking truth to power.
- Catholic Social Teaching is universal.
- They have fewer personal economic vulnerabilities.
- Celibacy removes family-based pressure.
- They inherit a 2,000-year-old tradition of resisting unjust rulers.
- This culture is global, not Nigerian-specific.
It's not a coincidence that the institution has been standing firmly for more than 2000 years.
I got this beautiful gift from my village Age Grade group. It’s their way of saying thank you for our achievement in Rome during the International STEM Olympiad.
In my village, we have zero out-of-school children and a community of people who love and adore education.
This is priceless encouragement, and I will strive to do even more good.
Stop lowering standards for these South East governors
Professor Charles Soludo failed woefully as a governor.
Governor Hope Uzodimma failed woefully as a governor.
Governor Francis Nwifuru failed woefully as a governor.
Governor Peter Mba, a very weak pass, failed woefully in security of Enugu.
Only governor Alex Otti met the standard of being a working and performing governor in East.
Stop lowering standards for these incompetent people in our governments.
Some people have reached out to me, wondering why I'm not as politically active this time around as I was in 2022/23.
Truth is, there's nothing to be said now that wasn't said in 2022/23. I promise you, there's no post I come across on the TL today that doesn't have a 2022/23 version. For example, the current burning topic on Tinubu's lack of verifiable educational qualifications? Old story. The lie about working ad deloitte? Old story.
That's why I've had the most important parts of my 2022/23 online work as my pinned tweet for 4 years running; because I'm not gonna be drawn into repeating the same things over and over again.
Peter Obi can allow Seun to draw him into dead conversations, maybe because he just needs to keep talking and stay in rotation.
Unfortunately, I'm not Peter Obi. I have neither his energy, his calm, nor his mental resilience. I simply can't afford that.
After the 2023 presidential election was so brazenly stolen, and after watching my fellow Nigerians whose lives were on the line write thread after thread in support of the heist, my world fell apart; literally disintegrated. I nearly ran mad.
When I say "I nearly ran mad," it is not a figure of speech; I mean I was close to clinical lunacy.
From 2022 to 2024, I did almost nothing meaningful with my life and career. Politics consumed me. I can't afford another round, please; not at this point in my life.
Peter Obi has achieved everything he set out to achieve in life. I say "everything" because the presidency isn't even an ambition for him; he sees it as a painful pilgrimage that must be undertaken for the good of Nigeria.
My life is just starting; and I'm sorry, I do not possess that level of mental resilience.
Lastly, the choice before Nigerians has never been any clearer. It's even clearer now than in 2022/23 because then, an argument could be made that you couldn't definitely say that Tinubu would make a terrible president until we'd tried him out (even though it was obvious to the least discerning).
Now, four years later, we've seen first hand every available evidence that he's not only a terrible president, but a demonic despot.
I'm not the one who will spend my time trying to convince Nigerians not to wilfully renew their subscription to hell for another 4 years. I'm sorry.
@H_Ebuka_ This particular issue has been surprising, even though it shouldn't be.
People who went to school are equating boycotting a mediocre artiste with the literal murder of their brothers and sisters.
It seems like some kind of dream.
