In June 2022, I was fired from my job as the head of engineering from a contracting company with no severance and three kids to feed in the middle of economic recession, thanks to the Russian/Ukrainian conflict.
I was left then with the option of wailing or complaining. But
We saw how the Senegalese people fought to change their president.
The opposition leader
was arrested, they broke into the prison, released him & rallied with him.
They protested, were attacked & they fought the police & army back.
THEY'VE WON!
Are NIGERIANS not LOUD JOKERS?
I just exited from today’s visitation with Onyendu #MNK. I took a critical legal document to him to preview but, as usual, the DSS seized the document & never brought it back until I left. MNK will NEVER BE TRIED under violations like this. It’s not a court-martial. #FairHearing.
Senegal’s New President.
BASSIROU DIOMAYE FAYE
AGE: 44Years
The incumbent President Macky Sall imprisoned him on charges of “spreading false news and contempt of court” to disqualify him from running but the people of Senegal held firm in their support.
Macky Sall tried to postpone the elections and Senegalese people took to the streets and made sure their voices were heard and their voices resounded all over Africa.
Today, the 44-year-old tax inspector is the President of Senegal thanks to the people saying “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!”
When will Nigerians say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?”
THE ODI MASSACRE:
On November 4th, 1999
An armed gang killed 7 policemen in the community of Odi, Bayelsa State. A few days later, they killed 5 more policemen.
President Obasanjo immediately wrote the excerpt below to the Governor of Bayelsa state, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, giving him 2 weeks to fish out the members of the gang & arraign them in a criminal court.
Many may not know, but the gang that killed those policemen was used by the governor & his party (PDP) during democratic elections in February 1999 to commit illegalities, and Obasanjo already knew this
The problem was that Alamieyeseigha and the powers that be left them to run riot in various villages, towns, and communities in Bayelsa.
Reframe your thinking to how not won't.
Instead of saying that WON'T Work...
Ask 'How could this work for me?'
Happiness (and dollars) will follow.

Today marks another watershed as we flag off the reconstruction of the 30km Arochukwu-Ndi Okereke-Ozuabam Road. This project, along with the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Ohafia Road, is a testament to our commitment to removing barriers that hinder our people's potential and economic prosperity.
We are not just building roads; we are paving pathways to a brighter future for our dear state. By connecting our agricultural heartlands to urban markets, we are ensuring that our farmers' hard work pays off and that our youth have ample employment opportunities.
Quality and longevity are at the forefront of these projects. We have engaged top-notch contractors to ensure these roads stand the test of time, reflecting the value of every taxpayer's kobo.
In about 18 months, the Arochukwu-Ndi Okereke-Ozuabam Road will breathe new life into our local economies, inviting investment and growth. It is more than infrastructure; it is about nurturing the social fabric of our communities and encouraging our diaspora to reconnect with their roots.
Together, we are driving towards a New Abia, where progress and development will touch every corner of our state.
So Tinubu has been secretly sending some Govs to beg Obi to show him support with his vast experience and ideas so he can move Nigeria forward
He clearly admits how clueless he is in the ‘Presidency’
But his agbado children will be on this street insulting Obi & Obidients!
If you or anyone you know is in the process of preparing for one of these exams, there is a tool you should know about that provides up-to-date past questions and a best-in-class exam preparation framework.
It's called https://t.co/WpHvvWYbJw and it's open to everyone.
@babyMahurin Hmmmm. Very tricky scenerious . Only one in ten does. The rest are wounded and don't respond to love. So will eventually leave to continue their old ways
Africa is the world's most sanctioned continent.
Think about that.
The world's poorest continent that supposedly survives on charity and desperately needs more trade is also the one that is hit with the most trade and travel restrictions of any continent.
Despite all the sanctions - ostensibly imposed for the benefit of human rights and democracy - Africa remains the least politically free continent in the world, which means the sanctions do not work.
African countries collectively are more sanctioned than even Russia and China - economically powerful, nuclear armed countries that the West sees as rivals and hostile rogue states.
Eritrea and Zimbabwe have almost as many sanctions imposed on them as Iran and North Korea. Clearly, Eritrea and Zimbabwe are nowhere near the same global conversation as Iran or North Korea, and the sanctions are NOT having any impact on their attitude toward democracy and human rights.
So this begs the question, why exactly is Africa the world's most sanctioned continent? If the motivation is not benevolent - because they do not deepen democracy or entrench human rights - then what other motivation could there be for these sanctions?
In whose interest is it for the world's poorest continent to have the most restrictions on its access to the global economy, travel, finance, and trade? Who benefits from Africans not being able to trade, travel, and grow?
Why does the continent with 3% of global trade have the highest number of economic and diplomatic sanctions? What are they sanctioning and why?
Food for thought.
The Godfather, The Italian Job and The Sicilian Clan had one thing in common. If you did not watch any of those movies growing up, watch this one, to find out the commonality. Yes, some men wanted to steal train coaches in Nigeria!
@ndekekwe Hahahahaha. Honestly I'm very pleased with the leg his excellency has thrown out. This is the time to do things differently. No ex governors or deputies are ordinary people so won't even need any job to live their full lives
