Tinubu is not my president

Musk did an interview with the editor of the Economist, a posh white woman, centrist, daughter of an army officer.
It went badly for Musk.

So now she’s a ‘traitor to the West.’

Totally normal response from a normal guy.

Guyyy 😭😭😭😭

All im saying, if this was an Iranian military praying to Allah yall would treat it very differently

I thought this was a fake quote but, nope, he actually said it.

This is the most embarrassing person to ever lead any country anywhere in the world in our lifetimes.

why？

We opened this letter hoping to see school fees but we got this letter instead.

This is so painful!!! A school that has been operating for over 30 years ooo!

Yet when Igbos raise these issues, they are accused of playing victims.

A terrorist known for burning people’s homes down shows up at your door armed with assault rifles. His group has killed 13 people this year alone. You manage to snatch his gun and shoot. The army shows up and kills you. The world sides with the terrorist. Why? You are Palestinian

I’m pretty sure Mayor Mamdani doesn’t want to live in a city with a man accused of hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recording the encounter on video, then mailing the tape to his own sister, then going to prison for tax evasion and witness tampering.

The world's richest nation just "stole" $13 Billion from one of the world's poorest nation and we are acting like nothing happened. Sigh!

Maybe I must have travelled 200 years back in time. This must be 1826 and not 2026. 🙄

No matter how hard they try to hide it, you can always see the tackiness in their so-called display of wealth. The ‘Nigerian elite’—whatever the fuck that means these days—is an interesting group, and I say this with every ounce of disrespect.

During my NYSC, I worked as an accountant for a cocoa merchant.

A few months in, my boss offered me a full-time job, but I declined.

Shortly after I resumed, he told me there had been persistent theft in the cocoa store and asked me to investigate.

In his words: “Abi no be wetin accountant suppose sabi do?”

I went through the records, reconciled the store activities, and eventually uncovered inconsistencies in the accounts. The numbers didn’t add up, and the evidence pointed to the two storekeepers. They have been stealing a lot.

I reported my findings to my boss, expecting him to handle it discreetly.

Instead, the next morning, he called everyone into a meeting and said:

“Corper Kunle, oya tell it to their face.”

That was one of the most uncomfortable moments of my entire NYSC year. I honestly wasn’t prepared for that.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Seems to me, a story that has a flesh-hungry rock-dwelling sea monster, a giant cyclops, a witch who turns humans into pigs and birds, and zombies that rise from the ground, is not much about biology at all.

Saw The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm

As many know, I value cinematic accuracy.

Some complain about its “Woke” casting. But Christopher Nolan’s choice to have actors speak English rather than authentic Ancient Greek in original dactylic hexameter is what I found to be most incredulous.

[Jorge Rodríguez @jorgertg98]

The rabbit hole goes even deeper: they faked the film itself. Those people on screen? Paid actors, all of them

[💀DeathMetalViking💀 @DeathMetalV]

Wait... so your argument is because she is wealthy she is wrong but because he is super wealthy he is right? Conservative logic is so confusing when you're not the product of inbreeding or religious propaganda.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

Ministry of Health gets N36m for the health of 250 million people.

Fake agency to get N1.3bn.

But Relax, Tinubu is fixing Nigeria 👍

This is what annoys me the most about so-called “African tech.” It is largely performative software projects that serve the purpose of data extraction by mostly Western funders and survival by African founders. China is where we should all be learning from.
