In recognition of his indigenous ingenuity and contributions to science, Gombe State University conferred on him a Doctor of Science, honoris causa, during its 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th combined convocation ceremony.
Walh at some point you’ll pause and ask; is he doing that for Elon’s engagement or what? How can he be always on the wrong side of the truth? As if he’s the only northern party member doing everything to shield his party.
She's spitting.
The greatest enemy of Arewa isn’t the talaka. It’s the supposedly educated gbatriot who hides behind kishin Arewa and “morality” to actively defend this broken system with sanctimonious lectures and faux outrage.
He calls every real criticism “too harsh.” When we challenge the leadership, he rushes to their defence: “At least they’re trying.”
When convenient, he resorts to otherisation, painting critics, reformers, and even fellow Northerners who speak out as outsiders, saboteurs, or agents of division, all while pretending to defend Arewa unity.
He weaponises religion to whitewash injustice, framing it as God’s decree. He has more contempt for the victims than for the oppressors. The only time he’s truly gleeful is when he’s shouting or tweeting, “Talaka ne matsalar Nigeria.”
Always on the wrong side of every issue, fortified by unshakeable self-righteousness.
Absolute bastards. May Allah disgrace them.

The governor charged us with lack of patriotism, instead of addressing our needs.
The good news is: The systemic dysfunction will affect everyone— especially the people.
Nigerians will blame everyone for their sufferings except the government they voted to ease their affairs. It’s like voodoo.
We blame the north, blame the south, blame business men, blame the weather, blame the geography, blame our parents, blame our teachers, blame foreign governments, even blame ourselves.
What we never do is blame the governments we voted specifically to fix our problems. Quite interesting phenomenon.
