@PeterObi In your own words, Nigeria’s Federation Revenue surged to ₦84 trillion in just three years, a staggering 41%. Now be realistic, would you have been able to do such a staggering job?
One of the basic pieces of advice Sun Tzu gives in 'The Art of War' is: 'Remember your soldiers need food.' Though the US is spending $500 million daily on the Iran war, this is the image of the ration they are feeding their soldiers, and they won't even allow groceries sent by family members to help ease the suffering get to them. As it is now, the Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram have it better than their US counterparts.

Nigeria is projected by IMF as the 3rd best country in the world in terms of economic growth in 2026. Tinubunomics beats every American and European country and is currently edged by only China and India. Obi can never achieve this in this life and the next
WhatsApp’s “E2E encryption by default” claim is a giant consumer fraud: ~95% of private messages on WhatsApp end up in plain-text backups on Apple/Google servers — not E2E-encrypted. Backup encryption is optional, and few people enable it — let alone use strong passwords.
@Ojukwu_Bianca The ban should be outside ibo land not Nigeria. Is it when will treat you like the South Africans before you learn to respect the host community in naija? Such behaviour has turned Nigeria social media into a civil war zone and will soon get offline if unabated
@PeterObi You had 8 years to make Anambra a model state. The US just told Americans to reconsider travel to Anambra. Lagos? Not mentioned. But the man who built that Lagos is the failure in your tweet?
@ChuksEricE Some grandma will ridicule grandchild whose parent is not doing well like its siblings. Now that she realized she's wrong, she's doing this to appease her child which is the child parent
New Scam Alert: Fake Celebrity Deaths and Crypto Donations - Jonathan the Tortoise Was the Latest Target
At 194 years old, Jonathan the giant Seychelles tortoise has outlived empires. This week he nearly became the face of a new breed of online scam and major newsrooms fell for it.
On April 1st, an X account posing as Jonathan's vet, Joe Hollins, dropped a tearful announcement claiming the world's oldest living land animal had peacefully passed away on the island of Saint Helena. The post went viral fast with almost 2 million views and the BBC, Daily Mail, and USA Today all ran the story as fact before issuing retractions.

But here's where it gets interesting. The account behind the post wasn't Joe Hollins at all. The real vet doesn't even use X. The impostor account was traced to Brazil and embedded in the grief post was a crypto donation link, ready to collect from anyone moved enough to contribute.
When the backlash started, the account didn't delete and disappear. Instead, it posted a follow-up claiming the whole thing was just an April Fool's prank.

Except the crypto donation link was still live.
The real Joe Hollins was blunt: "It's not even an April Fool's joke. It's a con."
Saint Helena's governor Nigel Phillips personally walked his grounds in the middle of the night to verify Jonathan was alive finding him asleep under a tree. He later joked that Jonathan's official statement was: "The report of my death was an exaggeration."
For the record, Jonathan is fine. Still eating bananas, still blind from cataracts, still apparently full of energy at 194.
