“Nigeria Air Force, if you have bullets to shøot us, you should also have bullets to shøot kidn@ppers and båndits. Take your aircraft to the bush and shøot them.”

Ødegaard worst season.
Bruno Fernandes best season of his career.
Yet Ødegaard still has more open-play assists for club and country.
Funny how narratives work.
I was in Nairobi a few days ago for my premiere and I spent a few hours with @wmnjoya at the Sarit Centre rooftop area.
You could barely move because of how many people there were. People were out with their families spending money and enjoying a day out. Literally hundreds of people. By the way, Kenya is not by any means a successful economy, but the visible symbols of commercial activity in Nairobi are undeniably busy. Commerce is actually taking place there.
And then there is Nigeria. Every single time I meet someone who just came from there, I hear the same thing - all the shops and malls are empty. People go into malls to buy one item and take pictures, because the mere experience of going to the mall has become out of reach for most regular people. You have no idea how much this pisses me off!
I've been warning for years that Nigeria is being deliberately steered into complete irrelevance. Uber makes more money in Nairobi than Lagos - and Lagos has 4 times Nairobi's population! Africa's largest population centre is increasingly being treated as if it has no more economic importance than Lesotho or Eswantini!
I fucking hate this shit!
If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.
Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.
That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾
They kidnapped a new set of students today in Kogi State.
Schools in Edo are shut down.
Boko Haram is winning but APC and ADC are focused on Peter Obi.
A failed nation.

The entire community is in shock.
Meanwhile,

Let me share this 😓
After the police handed me over to my mum and younger brother at RRS, Ado Ekiti, we went straight to my sister's hostel. When we got there, my mum personally bathed me because I was too weak and exhausted to do anything myself.
After eating, I tried to sleep, but sleep refused to come. My mind was restless. It wasn't until around 4 a.m. that I finally slept for a few minutes. Suddenly, I woke up in panic and shouted, "Mum, where am I?"
The reason was simple but painful. While I was in the kidnappers' den, there was a day I dreamt that I was back home with my family. But when I woke up, there were still chains on my hands, and I was still trapped in the forest. That dream broke me.
So when I woke up that night at my sister's hostel, I was terrified that I was still dreaming. I asked my mum, "Am I really home?" I called my sister's name and my younger brother's name just to be sure they were truly there and that I was no longer in the bush.
I explained the dream I had while in captivity. My mum held me and assured me that I was finally home. Only then did I calm down and thank God.
Even after my rescue, I couldn't sleep properly for two to three weeks. Every little sound startled me. The memories wouldn't leave my head.
What I went through was deeply traumatic. It is an experience I would never wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy. The pain, fear, hunger, uncertainty, and suffering felt like something that lasted longer than my entire lifetime.
I came very close to losing my mind.
Sometimes, when I think about everything that happened, I still cry. 😭💔
God saved me, and for that, I will remain forever grateful. 🙏🏽🥹

Cameroonian soldiers reportedly entered Nigeria on foot and were seen giving stern warnings to Nigerian citizens not to record them.
When foreign soldiers can walk into your country and issue instructions to your people, it raises serious questions about the state of governance, border security, and national sovereignty.
Nigerians deserve a government that protects its borders and inspires confidence in its citizens.
