I comment on Nigeria, power, and everyday life.
No noise. No pandering.
Just lived experience & honest observation.
Dear Nigerians,
THERE IS FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN!
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
They are systematically deleting the Voter Registration of certain demographics. Kindly rush to their portal & check to make sure that your CVR Registration is still valid & is found.
RETWEET MASSIVELY & SPREAD THE WORD!
There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.
"We have platformed."
And that right there is where your problem starts. You still believe that YOU platformed Peller and his fellow creatures of the Nigerian brainrot swamp. Let me break the news to you:
THE. ALGORITHMS. ARE. BLACK. BOXES.
You do NOT know what goes into them and how they work. That story you heard that "the algorithm only shows you more of what you engage with" is a completely false statement, right up there with "crypto is decentralised and outside the state's control."
People have actually tried to take the platforms to court to open up their algorithms to public scrutiny, and the US court ruling which you can Google and read by yourself said that THE ALGORITHMS ARE PROPRIETARY. In other words, they are protected by IP law and you legally are not allowed to know how they actually work!
You did not platform any of these people! White guys in Silicon Valley did! You are not the one "making stupid people famous". Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg are the ones deciding who becomes famous in your society.
That is exactly why western social media platforms are banned in China and Russia - they want to retain the power to determine their own internal conversation. And by the way, China was accused of using TikTok to engineer US society the same way, which is why TikTok USA was forced to sell a controlling stake to Larry Ellison.
Stop misdiagnosing your problem, which is lack of sovereignty. "Nigerians are stupid and like stupid things" is not an intelligent explanation of how the world works! Only a simple minded person takes everything at face value even when superior information is so readily available.
It’s about time. These atrocities cannot be allowed to continue. If President Tinubu and his government cannot secure lives and guarantee the safety of Nigerians, then he should step aside and concede failure!!

In America or developed countries, you kidnap women or children, the whole country will come down on them
Children were abducted and everyone is going about their business
10 LIFE HACKS/ADVICES MANY OF YOU PROBABLY NEED AND SHOULD KNOW FROM EARLY ADULTHOOD:
1. Life is much better when no one knows anything about you.
2. Never force anyone to choose you. Never beg to be loved. Choose genuineness and naturalness.
3. If you don't work to build your own dream, someone will hire you and use you as a tool for achieving theirs.
4. Free yourself from the chains of society's advice. Most of them have no idea what they are doing.
5. Your are at peace with yourself when you mind your own business.
6. Life WON'T wait for you to be okay. Get up from your comfort zone and keep pushing.
7. Master your emotions. A clear and calm mind can handle any situation.
8. You need to take people for who they are, not want you want them to be. This way, you avoid disappointment and learn to live in harmony with your environment. You become happier.
9. Make sure you take care of yourself cosif anything happens to you, the world would move on.
10. Be smart enough to create your opportunities. Don't wait for them to come to you. Working to create them is a form of PRAYER which will be answered someday.
Spread this if you found it helpful. Someone might need it on their journey to maturity.
Enugu state is on this table!
Someone had packed out from 1bedroom apartment in my father in-laws compound.
Agent, was called to fix someone..
This man brought tenant. And, called.
200k for Agent.
When, I went to my father in-laws side. I heard him talk about it... Na once I turn unpaid Agent. Because, tell me. Why rent is 500k and you want to collect 200k for Agent fee...
I went to the salon to wash my hair. The hair stylist looked drained. I told her you are not looking bright and I haven't seen you open shop in a while. Because, I went to her store 2 times. It was locked. That's when she told me. She's going through alot.... That she's been spending money on Agent and she's currently managing at her mum's place... That she has rent to pay but the Agent fee is the issue.
And, her husband as gone to work. So she's left to look for house alone. I Immediately, told her there's house in my father in-laws compound. Then, I informed her he lives there ooo .. because ofcourse so many people don't need house landlord stays in....
But, you only get to see my father in-law by 7pm or 8pm....
She said she wanted it. This was on Saturday. Sunday she called I took her to see the place if she likes it..... Immediately, she pleaded. We don't give out the house.
That her husband will send in payment on Monday. But, the husband was busy this evening he sent in the payment.
She's been very appreciative. Because, she only gets to pay rent and caution fee no Agent fee... If you are in Warri... You will know that Agent fee is almost like you paying rent....
Meanwhile, you can call me Agent. PLEX without pay 🤣
My father in-law as asked if I have added Agent work to my business 🤣 I said yes. Incase, he has land to sell abeg... No carry my work go outside 🤲

Total madness!!!
Nigeria has no functional emergency ambulance services, but Tinubu has purchased over 5,000 buses just for his presidential campaign.
God will punish anyone supporting him and the APC.
This life no just balance. And here I am helping a woman who has done so much for the home as her husband is without a job from day one and on-top that the man still dey beat and mistreat her . Now she is seeking divorce and even her parents are saying she should endure .
I’m currently defending a man in a custody battle in the East.
The wife has left him, he supported and trained her up to post-graduate level.
The husband is a highly educated person.
She has left the marriage, abandoned the home, seized all his land documents, birth certificate of their kids and filed for the custody of the children of the marriage.
Every time I speak with this man, I feel so much pity for him. Despite all that he has endured, he is still not ready to fight back.
He still loves this woman and keeps making excuses for her.
She’s proudly antagonizing the marriage institution and her husband on social media on a regular basis.
Loving your spouse is okay, but it must always be clear that you are not weak and that some lines must not be crossed.
The last thing you should do on this app is to be afraid of what people will say about your opinions, ideas or takes. Own your opinions!

This customer almost stressed me with suya spice 😅
He placed an order from the UK for goat meat, kilishi, and suya spice.
If he sent 100 messages, 90 of them were: “Please make sure the suya spice is from aboki.”
“Make sure it’s the original one suya people use.”
“Please don’t forget o.”
At first, I thought he was joking.
But when the reminders became an everyday thing, I had to reply.
I told him:
“I run a proper kilishi brand. I produce my own premium suya spice and if you don’t get value from it, I will refund the full 100k you paid for the suya spice.”
That was the confidence he needed.
He said I should go ahead.
We sent his order.
Guess who just called me now? 😌
He wants more suya spice to be sent to Uk
The same suya spice some of my customers now use to cook soup and stew, that’s actually what pushed me to introduce other spice blends like the stew spice, soup spice, pepper soup and banga spice.
My suya spice is not hype. It is the truth.
When quality speaks, doubt goes silent. 🔥

I've told you all that I will use my platform to campaign for Peter Obi.
He may or may not win.
But as far as I am concerned, no other person that will be on the ballot papers for the post of president, is as clean as Peter Obi.
You all know this, but your hatred, envy, greed & tribal and religious bigotry won't let you be great.
Search your conscience.
We have never had a better presidential candidate since the return of democracy.
"Politics is about numbers"
I agree.
But let us have a free, fair and credible elections to test this.
Let us have an election where voters are not threatened by thugs, or ballot boxes being snatched, where the security agencies are not used to rig elections.
Let us have elections where poor people are not incentivised with money, bags or rice and beans or garri.
Peter Obi would win hands down.
End.
