"Bola Tinubu is a terrible president."..."It is a slap on the face of the Nigerian people that Mahmud Yakubu is still in office".
Dele Farotimi says it as it is.
Please watch.
What is happening in the country today as it relates to River State is an aberration, unknown to our Constitution and must be condemned by every discerning mind.
What we are witnessing in Rivers State is a brazen disobedience and disregard for the rule of law and our democratic principles. The decision to release statutory allocations to an appointed Sole Administrator, despite a standing order of the Supreme Court, is not just unlawful — it is a direct challenge to the authority of the highest court of our country.
The Supreme Court had explicitly barred the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) from releasing these funds until a properly constituted House of Assembly passes a valid Appropriation Act. Yet, we see a situation where this order is being ignored. This raises serious moral intentions, and questions of what is happening in Rivers State.
By disregarding the judgment of the Supreme Court, those involved are setting a dangerous precedent. The CBN and AGF, institutions meant to uphold the law, should not be complicit in this disregard for our judiciary. We cannot build a nation where those who swore oaths to uphold our constitution and obey the laws are doing the opposite.
This is about more than just Rivers State; it is about protecting the very fabric of our democracy, and our existence as a nation.
A country cannot function where the rule of law is trampled upon, where the separation of powers is disregarded, and where judicial decisions are treated as mere suggestions. If we continue this way, we are undermining the future of our democracy. We must choose to do the right thing — to respect the law and uphold the principles that bind us as a nation.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
If Peter Obi joins SDP, I will follow him, If Peter goes back to PDP, I will will follow him, If he decides to stay in LP, no worries!
PO is free to work with anybody, even El-Rufai or Atiku,
INEC doesn't respect our feelings, so there4, if you don't like this tweet, park well!
It is very ridiculous that FSG are stuck on these players contract, Salah, Virgil and Trent...it is now clear that FSG has no intention of winning the league, 3 transfer windows now, no buying in sight!

If Liverpool FC had ambitious owners, we'd be sitting here in the Klopp Era with 3 Premier League titles & 3 Champions Leagues. You'll never change my mind on that. We are on the verge of a Premier League title and they want to sit quietly and do nothing in January AGAIN. #FSGOUT
The case never ended, by the way. Been pushing quietly to have the redactions lifted since last year.
We have a summary judgment on the issue that is due to be delivered anytime between this month and February, depending on whether the US government opposes the motion or not.
So we're all about to find out who wields more power in America - the elected president or the so-called deep-state swamp.
On September 11, 2024, in a statement laced with bigotry, Bayo Onanuga, speaking on behalf of President Tinubu, labeled Peter Obi as "Nigeria's Donald Trump." The remark was intended to mock not only Mr @PeterObi but also Trump, underscoring a divisive political stance. At the time, political forecasts suggested that Kamala Harris was poised to succeed in the U.S. presidential race. Now, however, with Trump's resurgence on the horizon, they may find themselves having to explain this disparaging comparison to Trump's team, raising questions about the prudence of such rhetoric.

When I revealed and posted on the death of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, weeks ago, I was threatened, called “fake news peddler.” But today, after they appointed another as the Chief of Army Staff and promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant General, they have now decided to confirm Gen Lagbaja’s death.
LATE CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF, GEN LAGBAJA, DIED OCTOBER 17 IN THE U.S
Late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja died on October 17, 2024, at a U.S hospital. The late Army Chief had left Nigeria for a German hospital. After assessing his situation, he was advised to seek further treatment for his cancer elsewhere.
He was said to have immediately headed to a recommended U.S hospital where he died of cancer on October 17, 2024.
On October 20, 2024, I had made a post revealing the death of the Chief of Army Staff. The Army denied it, calling it “fake news.” They threatened to arrest me and started using social media urchins to attack me.
Informant told me Gen. Lagbaja’s death caused a lot of confusion and panic within the Presidency and the Military especially happening at the time the President was away on vacation in London.
The Nigerian Intelligence Agency, NIA, had warned of the consequences of making the death of the Chief of Army Staff public partly because of the threat posed by Niger Republic and a possible coup.
The warnings were the reason President Bola Tinubu cut short his trip, retired several military Generals and then appointed an acting Chief of Army Staff who has now been confirmed as substantive
It was Jackson that first announced d sudden passing away of Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja and he was declared wanted.
Today, it is finally official.
Lesson:anything this administration denies is true.
May his soul rest in peace
I dy watch tower dy 👀
You can remain in your fool's paradise and dismiss the simple addition of 2 and 2 to get 4 as "conspiracy theory" if it makes you feel better, but facts are very stubborn things. Especially when they are written and on public record.
A known drug pusher ran for president under the ruling party in a 3rd world country. A journalist who knew that federal drug trafficking investigations in the US typically involve more than one investigating agency got hold of his IRS indictment and submitted FOIA requests to the DEA and FBI.
On the strength of the extensive IRS indictment alone, he was able to publish a story that became the documentary in my pinned tweet. Later on, with help from an American FOIA activist Aaron Greenspan, he filed an FOIA lawsuit in Washington DC, targeting the FBI, CIA, IRS, DEA, State Department and the Department of Justice (US Attorneys Office).
The judge assigned to the case was Beryl Howell, a lifelong, card-carrying Democrat who was appointed to the Federal bench by Barack Obama, and whose prior work had been pivotal to expanding the Freedom Of Information Act itself.
https://t.co/XCNrbHlpJk
Heck, she had even previously received a a journalism award for her work protecting and expanding the FOIA, especially where it concerned giving the public access to key information about public officials. If there was any judge that should have seen the need for the public to have access to criminal drug trafficking investigation records pertaining to the president of an entire country (he had been declared "winner" by this time), it should have been Beryl Howell.
Instead, she first dicked the lawsuit around for 6 months, and then when the drug pusher's lawyer intervened and applied to be admitted to the lawsuit, she immediately granted the motion citing the following as her reason:
"Tinubu has a cognizable interest that may be impaired because the FOIA requests at issue pertain to information about him that would implicate his privacy interests."
Subsequently, the FBI released the investigation records but redacted every mention of his name, claiming a "national security" exemption. The CIA said "we can neither confirm nor deny," which is government-speak for "go fuck yourself." The DEA refused to release its files claiming a "privacy" exemption for the drug pusher, because again, not even the interests of 200 million humans are as important as the "privacy" of a drug trafficker who gets to lead them. The State Department agreed to release its files and then later reversed itself and lied that it never said so, eventually releasing only 13 pages that were ENTIRELY redacted - another diplomatic "go fuck yourself." Finally the IRS - the one whose indictment the journalist saw, which started the whole thing - claimed that it had lost all its files on the drug pusher and "cannot locate" them.
And then you will tell me that this drug pusher - on whose behalf the entire US government contorted itself into pretzels, commiting judicial malpratice and multiple perjuries in its own federal court - is not a US puppet? The US is in the habit of lying in written court documents to protect African drug dealers just for the craic of it? There's nothing in it for them?
All of you might agree to be stupid because American approval means more to you than your own lives and the future of your own children, but not everyone will agree to be stupid at the same time. I personally do not aspire to be a stupid good doggie for anyone.
Even if there is only one person from the 210 million Nigerians in existence who refuses to be stupid, I volunteer to be that one person.
The money Peter Obi is supposed to use to pay about 1300+ party delegates, bribe 200+ top INEC officials, and buy votes for 5k in 2027, he’s donating them to medical schools, universities, social amenities etc.
That man can never be president of Nigeria!
