Apparently people don't know who a Cardinal is and the amount of influence they yield.
Most of these guys have diplomatic passports, have trained at the highest level of philosophy, theology, and a major discipline. They write books, they act as local imprimatur to people who also write. I'm talking big people who write. And above all, people listen to them — Big & important people listen to them.
Korol Wojtyla (John Paul III), as a cardinal was then Polish government enemy number as he opposed a communist Poland. Poland owes whatever it is today, democratically, to him — at least to a large extent. Wait till you hear about Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the one who mentored Karol.
Jaime Sin of Philippines literarily tumbled a dictatorship by leading peaceful protests and human barricades of millions of people. His intervention was pivotal in one of the world's most successful nonviolent democratic transitions.
Same with József Mindszenty of Hungary, a fighter against Communist Hungary who was popular with the phrase — communism kills the human identity. They even tortured him, and that led to unrest and protests. There's also Thomas Wosley of England. Maybe a little research on Cardinal Sarah and how he became one of the few national figures willing to challenge Sékou Touré's authoritarian regime publicly in Guinea.
A Cardinal does not engage in partisan politics. It's beneath them. However when it comes to the need to intellectually be at the defense of human rights, youth engagement, poverty eradication, and moral empowerment, they'd never be quiet.
So all these Tinubu boys are just mere humans. Dimwits who are controlled by money — a sad way to live.
Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate the transparency this situation has garnered. However, let's review the statements made by the minister who is also a SAN.
- The vehicle arrived at 20:28.
- The driver parked at 20:30.
- The driver returned to retrieve an item from the vehicle at 20:32.
- He returned two minutes later, at 20:34, to find the vehicle clamped.
The total duration of this activity was approximately SIX MINUTES, which is within the TEN MINUTES allowance for passenger activities at Heathrow Airport.
Now, let's consider the information the minister did not disclose to the public.
- The precise time Peter Obi's vehicle was clamped.
- The maximum permissible time for passengers to disembark from their vehicle before a violation occurs.
It would be beneficial to obtain answers to these questions and potentially commission an independent investigation by joint reputable institutions, each nominated by the minister, Peter Obi, and the CSO, to examine the authentic CCTV footage to ascertain the exact sequence of events for what exactly happened for public clarity.
Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo
This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you.
Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity.
You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation.
For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter.
It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes.
People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes.
Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you.
Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain.
If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest.
We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs.
It will not be well with you.
How are people just realizing Bruno can’t create in a stable system like the likes of Ozil, KDB? He needs chaos to thrive.
He’s at his best when the game is stretched, transitions are constant, and he’s allowed to take high-risk passes over and over again. That’s where his volume of chance creation comes from.
Put him in a team that values control, positional discipline, and patient circulation, and some of his biggest strengths become limitations. He isn’t the type to dictate tempo, manipulate blocks with subtle passing, or constantly find solutions against a settled defence the way Ozil or De Bruyne can.
That doesn’t make him a bad creator. It just means he’s a different profile. Bruno is an elite transition creator, not a control creator, and there’s a big difference between the two.
1.3 billion naira released to a fake agency in Nigeria but 36 million was released to the Ministry of Health.
They prioritize stealing over your well-being.

Fr. Mark Beard explains the reason why the Deacon does not place his hands on the altar when kissing the altar and why it is only the priest who places his hands on the altar and kiss the altar.
He also explained why the orans posture is not for the laity but the priest alone.
I realise that many Catholics here argue with me as to why I'd say that the arm stretching and lifting up of the arms is reserved for the priests alone.
I hope this video explains it better.
This is one reason why Nigeria's public policies are always flawed.
With no disrespect to Dr. Joe himself, but policies shouldn't be based on individual ideas or what a group of elites considered progressive or "the brightest way of doing things".
It should be based on collected data, survey, democratic inputs and feedback from the populace. People sitting in an air conditioner filled room can't just assume what is best for the mass population in the country.
It's a monopolisation of abstract and pedestrian knowledge that no single human being or a group of politically privileged human beings can know.
On NYSC reforms, what's the data that show that the current system isn't working? And if any, where's the data that indicate that the new system will solve the identified problem? What research was carried? Where's the democratic input from the people who are currently in the system (the corp members)? Where's the feedback mechanism that made this new approach justifiable?
Without any of this, we just propose ideas that sound and look good on paper only for it to become adversely inapplicable to those who the ideas directly affected.
The same way I asked Mr. Oyedele then what data was driving his tax reform bill, and the proposed increment in VAT and CGT in the bill, only to have the host and the co-host kick me out of the space.
Our intellectual and political elites must be humble enough to know that not all ideas in their head are made of gold.
Else, we continue to fix what necessarily isn't broken.
“Some of us, the Yoruba, voted for Tinubu in 2023 but he brought misery on us. Make sure you do not vote for him again in 2027.”

What’s more crazy is how no one speaks about it.
Arsenal finished 8th and media suggested we weren’t part of the Big 6 anymore.
Now Chelsea finished 10th or below for the second time in 4 years btw because I know they finished 12th a few years ago.
United finished 15th last season
Spurs 16th, then 17th in back to back seasons.
Arsenal is instead mocked by the media and these drunk rival fans who claim to be “bantering” for winning the league and missing out on the champions league by the whiskers.
All Competitions in 2025/26:
45 → Arsenal total WINS
32 → Arsenal Clean Sheets
28 → Liverpool total WINS
26 → Chelsea total WINS
19 → Man United total WINS
17 → Spurs total WINS
Not surprised that people are immediately trying to write revisionist history about the game today. That’s what idiots do
-Arsenal scored from open play. PSG could not
-PSG needed a penalty, conceded by Arsenal’s 3rd string RB, to score at all
-Outside of that penalty, PSG did not record a shot on target inside the box until the 117th minute
-PSG needed a penalty shootout to win the game
Casual fans will look at the possession and the shots, without understanding that Arsenal allowed PSG to have the ball and shoot it from non-threatening areas on purpose
At the end of the day, PSG deserved to win, because they stepped up when it mattered
But anybody suggesting that Arsenal didn’t play well, or didn’t execute their plan to perfection, is either lying to you for interactions, or they are genuinely incapable of analyzing the game that they just watched
It really is that simple, at the end of the day
Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
Gabriel Magalhães. One kick does not define you. Unbelievable across 120 minutes tonight, and stellar all season long. We stick together - in the good times and the bad.
