@GeneralSnow_ How high ranking public officers will keep straight face and lie to the public is a shameful thing and I hope history will remember every one of them for their infamous lies and incompetence.
Some have argued that Nigeria wasn’t ripped prepared for independence 1960; 66 years after, the country like most African countries have continued to grapple with leadership problems, corruption and lack of citizens empathy. Join me on Instagram live. #BBnaija#femiotedola
66 years after independence, how far have Nigeria fared under indigenous leadership? Join me on Instagram live on Oct 1st, for expose on my book titled “letter to tomorrow’s leader”, as I look at the journey thus far, challenges and the way forward. #1stOct
@mrlutherr@UchePOkoye Well, whether or not it has paid is a matter for another day, one that only the National Assembly can do something about; maybe create a system that will allow states to make laws on areas hitherto reserved to federal like the issue at hand.
@odalosele These guys are from very poor backgrounds and will sale even their mothers for money; it’s the people who give them audiance and make them feel like they amount to anything. I never rated them, and never will; they are charlatans
@VictorA57172913@UchePOkoye Kindly do us a favour and present a contrary representation of what he’s trying to prove; that way you would’ve proven him wrong and earn for yourself respect and more followers.
@qwm_messenger@OneJoblessBoy If they had done what you said here, some of you will still call them names and said they want to destabilize the team and scuttle our chances . Why don’t you just take the information and know how evil our public officials are.
While, this sounds good; but can the government just make the document public so that people will stop guessing and making judgments based on lack of information.
Tinubu is a crook. I don’t trust anything he says or does. And Trump is surrounded by conflicted advisers. So when I heard about this “mineral deal,” I was highly skeptical. But I dug into it—and it may actually be a very good thing for the people.
The announced deal is an investment framework—not a handover of even one ounce of Nigeria’s gold or lithium to Trump. America doesn't get rights to the wealth underground. Instead, we get the opportunity to invest.
From everything that we know about the deal, the purpose is to secure American capital, equipment and expertise to build a native industry that processes minerals IN NIGERIA and creates JOBS FOR NIGERIANS. That is economic development. That is what Nigeria needs -- and it's what the looting Chinese will NEVER provide.
Here’s the part people are missing: the BLOOD MINERAL trade. The Smith/Moore Nigeria bill specifically targets illegal Chinese mining operations paying protection money to Fulani militias. Mineral looting is a security issue. It helps finance the massacres, rape, slavery, destruction and displacement. A deal like this is a step towards ENDING that. Good!
Properly regulated investment is a way to attack that blood mineral trade—and give America a direct national interest in helping stop it, which is necessary for an "America First" president.
Don’t trust Tinubu. But I haven’t found evidence that this in any way enriches him or Trump or translates to burying his DEA files. I see is as an opportunity to turn stolen wealth into Nigerian livelihoods and security.
Now we need to stay vigilant and watch who gets the contracts, who gets the jobs, and whether the blood money river to the jihadis and corruptucrats is cut off. That's what matters. And it's where Tinubu can still get his grubby hands on more of the wealth of the nation while leaving the people starving. We will keep watching!

@UchePOkoye This is the height of nepotism and wickedness, yet somehow some unscrupulous person still find the voice to defend a man who has shown no regard to the federal character nature of our constitution. History will remeber Tinubu, but certainly not for good.
@ruffydfire Again, we will see some Nigerians out of their foolishness arguing that they do not have the right and are politically motivated. The irony of our country.
Today, *Lawyers for Civil Liberties* filed a Freedom of Information application before the *Attorney-General of Federation* and the *Minister of Solid Minerals Development*, requesting for details of the recent Nigeria - United States of America's 700 billion dollar Critical Minerals Framework Agreement / Memorandum of Understanding.
@akinola_prais@Mimi_yakigar You’re a moron for referring to my state as god forsaken, it tells how ignorant and intellectually bankrupt you are, hence needless to engage with you.
