🚨🎙️Xabi Alonso:
“I’ve made one thing very clear to every player in this squad: if you don’t want to play for Chelsea, the door is open. Anyone who wants to leave will be sold before the transfer window closes. I only want players who are ready to fight for this badge, give everything on the pitch, and put the club above themselves.
So don’t be surprised if you see a lot of players leaving this transfer window. We’re building a team full of players who are committed to Chelsea and willing to give everything for this club.”
Ibanga Isine, an award-winning investigative journalist, did a multi-part deep dive into the killings in Southern Kaduna. By the time he published his investigation, nine of his sources had died mysteriously, one after another. Ibanga eventually fled Nigeria and only returned after El-Rufai was rendered politically irrelevant by the Tinubu administration.
As for me, after my release from 162 days of illegal detention, I began receiving death threats. My close friend, Rev. Fr. John Mark, who had called weeks earlier to warn me to be on my guard, was abducted and murdered without any ransom demand. I fled Nigeria by road and only returned after El-Rufai left office.
Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, was not so fortunate. He never made it back alive after his abduction. The same tactics used to abduct him were used against me in Port Harcourt, but God spared my life.
If you think El-Rufai deserves sympathy, then you need to have your brain seriously examined.
@BSAT_Properties Why the worry?
There's a clear caveat there that businesses should confirm receipt of the money in their account, before releasing their goods
Interestingly, one of the worst things about the Nigerian character - bloviating, buffoonish overconfidence - is also a superpower that sets Nigerians apart when it is intentionally harnessed and channelled correctly.
Whenever Nigerians (born and raised in Nigeria) learn how to combine their social confidence with actual intellectual substance and a good amount of self awareness, the world will have a serious problem on its hands.
I believe in my people🙏🏿
This makes sense. I have not done Airbnb because I hate the company. There are people who specialize in providing third-party services but it is just better to rent it for longer periods and have peace of mind.
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
