In a handshake with His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Mr President, may God answer our prayers for Your Excellency to govern Nigeria until 2031, in good health, even as the nation continues to prosper under your focused and visionary leadership.

Dear Ibrahim,

Thank you for your feedback. The rest of my life is dedicated to Nigeria. My beloved wife is my second wife. My first wife is Nigeria. I am married to Niger-Area! The day a Nigerian starts crafting wristwatches in Nigeria with components predominantly sourced from Nigeria, I give you my word that I will start wearing wristwatches again.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

@UsmanAbduKumon Alhamdulillahi!

1990: The last time I wore a wristwatch, I was sixteen and sported what was then called a Carl Lewis haircut, and previously known as the Grace Jones haircut in the early eighties.

This video and statement were made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday, April 2, 2018, in relation to the government of General Muhammadu Buhari. At no point has former President Obasanjo said this about the Tinubu administrationWhich has consistently delivered above 4% GDP growth since its inception. This is a recycled video. You can even tell that President Obasanjo looks younger here. If you want to read about it yourself, you may do so here: https://t.co/O9R0DrMGlx

Immediately after winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Spanish national football team first met the Head of State of Spain, King Felipe VI, before even formally engaging with the media.

I was physically present with then President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, when he was the first person to receive the victorious Super Eagles at Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja following their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations triumph.

Neither General Muhammadu Buhari nor Waziri Atiku Abubakar, who had contested and lost to the then incumbent in 2012, and were planning to throw their hats in the ring with him in 2015, attempted to circumnavigate the protocol or sour the joyous national mood by politicising the situation. Rather, they commended the team and the nation.

No other Nigerian, living or dead, has contributed to the development of sports in Nigeria, and particularly football, as the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, who was made the Pillar of Sports in Africa in 1980 by the African Sports Journalists Union.

Yet, despite his contributions to African sports, when the Baby Eagles (later the Golden Eaglets) won the inaugural FIFA U-16 World Championship (now the FIFA U-17 World Cup), they did not meet with Chief Abiola first.

For context, Chief Abiola had supported them financially and morally from the beginning of the tournament to the end.

Instead, after their victory in China on August 11, 1985, the team first met Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, then Nigeria's military Head of State.

That is the convention, not only in Nigeria and Spain, but in every respectable, responsible and ordered society run by the rule of law and constitutional democracies.

Placing yourself above such conventions and wanting them circumvented because of your personal agenda, itinerary, and convenience could be interpreted by reasonable people as you not putting national interest first.

Sports should be protected from the "toxic" politics of individuals who try to sow disunity at a time when football has united the nation.

Wanting to insert yourself into a victory that you did not contribute to, and a team that you did not even acknowledge until they won, is not only opportunistic, it falls beneath the standard of behaviour expected from a statesman, who should know that their first port of call should be the Head of State.

That is the textbook definition of 'toxic' politics.

In a tête-à-tête with His Excellency, Mallam Umar Namadi, the Governor of Jigawa State. I have been everywhere in Africa, and Nigeria is one of the few African countries whose leaders, at every level, are mostly adorned in authentic Nigerian couture that is also made in Nigeria. I can't recall ever meeting or seeing the Governor of Jigawa in anything but Nigerian fashion. This is also a trait of his former boss, Alhaji Aliko Dangote (the Governor was the pioneer Head Accountant at the Dangote Group).

I, Bemigho Reno Omokri, physically went to Chicago State University on September 19, 2022, and confirmed that then-Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu was admitted to, attended, and graduated from @ChicagoState University.

I am attaching the document Chicago State University gave me.

On Tuesday, October 3, 2023, Caleb Westberg (pictured), the Registrar of Chicago State University, swore under oath in court that President Bola Tinubu attended and graduated from the institution in 1979.

A week later, on Wednesday, October 11, the BBC Global Disinformation Team corroborated my and Mr Caleb Westberg's findings and published that allegations that President Bola Tinubu forged a diploma from Chicago State University are false.

On Thursday, October 26, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that allegations that His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria did not graduate from Chicago State University 'lacked merit'.

This is campaign season. So, of course, you can expect that a TV station linked in ownership to a vice-presidential candidate of an opposition party would resurrect this malicious, fallacious and disproven propaganda.

If, after the overwhelming evidence above, there are still journalists or even politicians who still, regrettably, doubt the mountain of evidence proving the President's bona fides, then they should do what I did and physically go to Chicago Stats University or electronically contact them via the contact details in the attached document to hear directly from the horse's mouth, rather than from a political opponent who has admitted that they are committed to stopping the reelection of the President for purely partisan reasons.

I Went To @ChicagoState University and Proved That President Tinubu Was Admitted, Attended and Graduated From There. I Urge Nigerian Journalists Not To Sit in Studios Peddling Gossip, But To Also Go To Chicago, Like I Did, and Verify.

Last week, I met with renowned polyglot and polymath, Dr Dunoma Umar Ahmed, PhD, a veteran diplomat and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We discussed how to better project and more dynamically represent Nigeria at our Missions. But one thing stands out. Every time I have seen the Permanent Secretary, and each time he has met me, without planning it, we have both always worn authentically Nigerian cultural attire that is made in Nigeria. It is second nature to us. When the world sees us, including you reading this, as Nigerian citizens, proudly clad in bona fide Nigerian couture, that cultural diplomacy immediately wins plaudits for our beloved country.

Reminiscing with HE Mai Mala Buni, Governor of Yobe State, about my service year in his astonishingly beautiful state. If you ever visit Garin Alkali, the desert dunes around the area could make you believe you were teleported into an Arabian fantasy film. As a diplomat, I value Alhaji Buni's company and counsel because his Bachelor's and Master's in International Relations give him a bird's-eye view of diplomatic affairs.

Depending on General Buhari to make you President is again the godfatherism in politics that our nation has been fighting against, because it undermines democracy, promotes oligarchy, and runs against the idea of one man, one vote.

Power belongs only to God, and in our country, is given to man through the votes of the Nigerian people, via a Presidential primary and a Presidential election.

Admitting that you refused to campaign because of an unverifiable promise by a former President, who is now late, actually demonstrates an anti-democratic attitude.

In effect, what you are saying is that you do not feel the need to persuade 235 million Nigerians, because you have persuaded only one Nigerian, albeit a very influential citizen, to support you. That is a dangerous entitlement mentality that reeks of elitism.

Denigrating President Bola Tinubu for politicking and campaigning, while you were soliciting and scheming, proves that you need tutelage in the elementary and rudimentary principles of a multiparty democracy.

General Muhammadu Buhari, of blessed memory, is no longer with us. For two whole years of this administration headed by His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Buhari was alive. I am not sure it is the most courageous thing to do to make an allegation now that he is dead and cannot speak for himself, which you did not make while he was alive.

Finally, may I remind all Nigerians that while some claim General Buhari anointed them secretly, we all remember that President Buhari openly endorsed Asiwaju Tinubu and declared him a "very competent hand"!

Thank God it is Jumu'ah. Assalamu Alaykum and Barka da Jumu'ah.

I thank God for the successful Umrah of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who has now returned to Abuja from Makkah.

I also thank the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, and His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for the honour bestowed on President Tinubu by opening the doors of the Holy Kaaba to our Amir and his entourage, as well as for featuring Nigeria's national colours in the fencing around that sacred site.

On this great day of Jumu'ah, let us reflect on the words that our President spoke in Makkah after praying for Nigeria. President Tinubu prayed for peace, unity, and prosperity for Nigeria. To that end, may we turn our hearts to God and become better citizens to help bring his prayers to fruition.

May Almighty God continue to grant us Shifa, Taqwa, Barakah, Contentment and Sabr. Amin.

Jumu'ah Mubarak!

I worked at the McDonald's at King's Cross Station for three months while I was a student in London. Then, after my security clearance came through, I left to work as a temp at the British Parliament. That's when this photo was taken.

I would do my shift, go home and sleep for three hours, then go to school, and after school, I would return to work and do another shift. In between, I would go to the toilet to sleep and ask my brother to phone me in fifteen minutes so I could return to work without attracting too much attention. Thank you, Jemine!

Juggling school and work is not an easy task. It certainly is not for the faint-hearted.

If you are one of the estimated 1 million Nigerian undergraduates benefiting from President Bola Tinubu's Interest-Free NELFUND Student Loan, you may never know how blessed you are to have the opportunity to focus on your studies without worrying about your tuition or upkeep.

That alone makes learning conducive and fosters a state of mind favourable to academic pursuits and mobility later in life.

I urge this million-man student army not to underestimate what the President has done for them, and not to underrate the threat to this scheme if fuel subsidy is restored.

Your education makes you the elite of Nigeria. You know about scale of preferences and that human wants are unlimited while available resources are limited.

What do you think will happen if fuel subsidy is restored? Automatically, the initiatives funded by subsidy savings, such as Student Loans, increased and regular allocation to states, regular and improved payment of civil servants' salaries and retirees' pensions, as well as unprecedented infrastructural development, which includes the 750-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the 1068-kilometre Illela-Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, and the 465-kilometre Trans-Saharan Road, will grind to a halt.

And even worse for you, ASUU strikes will resume!

So put Nigeria first and stay the course by extending the right hand of fellowship to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on Saturday, January 16, 2027.

The President came through for you. Now, come through for him.
