Sampling is a real art, and one of its greatest gifts is the way it creates a dialogue between generations of music.

I would strongly recommend that the Federal Government urgently investigate what is happening at WAEC Nigeria. The current HNO has been accused of embezzling over ₦2 billion from the most recent examination.

Blind students have still not received their results, while the admission window is closing. Many students are suffering because of WAEC’s technical glitches and internal crisis.

The staff that challenged him has been suspended.

This is terrible. The futures of our students are at stake.

I returned home from a meeting yesterday afternoon to find my wife on the phone in tears.

Since April, five full months now, every single rent payment we made was being intercepted by scammers.

The scheme was pretty coordinated. The scammers reached out to the landlord’s agency using a fraudulent email address while posing as my wife. The agency accepted the unverified address without question and corresponded exclusively through it, while the scammers fabricated personal hardship and pleaded for extensions.

On our end, the scammers played the role of the agency to perfection, they issued monthly payment confirmations, sent out standard administrative paperwork, and even spoke with us over multiple phone calls.

About three months ago, we randomly received correspondence from the landlord’s lawyers stating that we owed back rent.

Because our records were clean, we reached out immediately to what we thought was the agency to ask for an explanation. The scammers intercepted our inquiry, dismissed the lawyers' letter as an internal misunderstanding, and assured us everything was in order.

It was only after that exchange that a formal notice arrived stating the landlord had decided to sell the apartment and we needed to vacate by October 2.

We now understand what was happening behind the scenes. The owner had received nothing for months. The real agency, flooded with endless pleading emails from fraudsters pretending to be my wife, concluded we simply lacked the capacity to pay and likely advised the landlord to sell the apartment as his cleanest exit.

Because the fraudsters actively managed both sides, the agency never called our actual numbers or sent physical warnings to our door. The entire illusion only collapsed yesterday when an employee returned from a long leave of absence, noticed the mounting balance, and decided that despite the emails, he should place a direct phone call to my wife.

We are now facing thousands in back rent, an impending October eviction deadline, and the friction of finding a new home in the Paris rental market, all while navigating life as new parents.

In hindsight, we should have been far more alert when an updated IBAN was introduced for payments. But because we had experienced routine banking updates in the past, we treated it as standard administrative procedure instead of a red flag.

I was scammed once when I was twenty-two, chasing an investment return I had not properly vetted. That was easier to carry because the failure belonged entirely to my own lack of diligence.

This one carries a very different weight. We acted in good faith, honored our obligations every single month, and did everything right. Defrauding us out of money is painful enough, but losing our home in the process is devastating.

I believe Scripture when it says all things work together for good for those who love God. I am genuinely waiting to see the good God has in store, but right now, this hurts. And it hurts deeply.

Cruise as usual.

To some Nigerians, this is entertainment. But what is really happening here is the ruling class and their descendants protecting their interests through collaboration.

The Adelekes have more in common with the Wikes and the Tinubus than they could ever have with ordinary Nigerians.

Davido’s ranting on social media during the elections was never simply about you. You were being used as leverage in their internal power struggles. You were the pawns on their chessboard.

Now that they have made peace, they celebrate together while some of the same people they mobilised are left mourning and some disappointed.

The reality is that, they will always protect their interests.

You are their bargaining chips.

They are not enemies. When their interests clash, they will use you as bargaining chips against one another. When they reach an agreement, they will put their differences aside and move on.

Leaving you to mourn, feel disappointed and carry the consequences of their interest.

You are disposable when they no longer need you, and reusable when they need you again. And the worst part is that they are not even afraid to demonstrate this to your face. And you are too stupid to see it.

If there is anything you should learn from this, is that whatever power these families have is ultimately because you gave it to them. And you can decide to take that power away from them, by organising and showing solidarity with your class. Stop allowing yourself to be recruited into the personal and political battles of people whose interests are fundamentally different from yours.

Start by boycotting.

They are nothing without you.

But they are everything with your ignorance.

Whatever one thinks of what she said, the vitriol towards the lady is deeply unsettling — over what is, at worst, a debatable lapse in etiquette. What exactly excites people about seeing someone ruined? Is it a sense of self-superiority?

This is obscene.
