There was a video in circulation that was/is capable of setting up a part of the country against the government and the rest of the country, which turned out to be doctored and no way to verify the extent to which the video has traveled to, yet you people didn’t think it was necessary for the person alleged to have released the video to issue a simple disclaimer and deny the authorship of the video, even without being asked to. I suppose that’s the right and commonsensical thing to do. In fact, if possible, volunteer to track down or support the tracking down of the person who released such destructive video to the public.
I know when emotions are high, we often suspend applying common sense, but we must not allow our hate or disgust for the persons in government and loyalty to online activists to blind us from saying the truth. As much as I am all for holding the government accountable and responsible, where and when necessary, it’s even a part of the mechanisms that strengthen our democracy; it is not at the expense of threatening the corporate existent and peace of the entire nation, which is the ulterior motive of whoever is responsible for the making, release and wider circulation of that dangerous and perilous video.
In the end, we all know what we are doing. Whichever side we pick today, prosperity awaits everyone in the next phase of life.
🗣️ Bukayo Saka: “People are starting to go into hiding mode, but we are going to find them. We can say it now freely, but before if we said it, they’d say we are crybabies. Things about Arsenal are spoken much more. It’s banter, if people give it to us, we can give it back.” ❤️🤣
If NNPC were taking over 60% of our oil revenue for just existing, what was ever gonna be their motivation to make anything work?
The things Tinubu does are too common sense for us to be praising him for but when presidents have come and gone and acted like it’s rocket science, you can’t blame us really, he’s just a common sense president and i love common sense
We're not building Procurify because importing from Asia isn't accessible.
We're building it because it's been unnecessarily hard, and nobody was fixing it. Every payment shouldn't feel like a gamble.
This is personal. Building by importers, for importers.
African importers have been forced to rely on broken systems for too long.
Hoping payments go through.
Waiting in the dark for shipments.
That ends now.
Procurify is here to end the informal era of importing.

In 2002, Aliko Dangote was interviewed by TELL Magazine — then one of Nigeria's most respected news magazines.
He wasn't yet "Africa's richest man."
That didn't happen — officially at least — until the 2011 Forbes list.
His $23 billion refinery was still two decades away.
But he said this:
"We are shouting that the economy is not doing well, but what have we done? How many Nigerians do you know who have even more money than I do but are not investing locally?"
That was 24 years ago.
Over the weekend, I posted about how African capital is finally beginning to flow back into Africa (https://t.co/cCuqbC89ti).
Well, Dangote's been championing that cause before many were paying attention.
He didn't just argue for Africans to fund Africa.
He became the prime example of it.

If your name isn’t Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, you can’t chat to Neymar about anything football, especially in the last 20 years. Let’s all respect ourselves here.
Egypt charge tolls for the Suez Canal.
Panama charge fees for the Panama Canal.
Turkey charge fees for Bosporus Strait.
Canada charge fees for the St Lawrence Seaway.
United States charge for the St Lawrence Seaway.
Iran kept the Strait toll free for decades and they are somehow still the terrible guys.
