"Why should I give you any free and fair elections when I'm also a contestant? I was in the opposition and I suffered and bore it like that. Now, it's your turn - why should I help you when I have the majority (in the House)?"
- Prince Adewole Adebayo narrates what transpired when an umbrella group of political parties met with Pres. Tinubu to seek assurance about a level playing field for all political parties.

As Africans, We Are Allowed To Have Our Interest And Push Our Agenda - David Hundeyin
Take a look at @DavidHundeyin going off on lazy African media.
In this clip from the press conference held in Dar es Salaam at the East African premiere of our documentary, ‘What Happened on October 29?’, The Spearhead founder challenged African journalists to own newsmaking on the continent rather than relying on foreign media outlets to lead the way, only to misinform our people.

Omo! Do you people know how insane it is for terrorists to kidnap a retired general, kill him and then return his body in a handover ceremony where they took pictures knowing they'd leave unchallenged?
Do you people know what kind of trouble we are in?
If David tell Una say all bad policies that are impoverishing Nigeria are from Washington or Paris some clowns go dey attack him…
We go learn the hard way. 💔🤷🏾♂️
Once you're kidnapped and you have access to your phone, don't panic. Don't call the police.
Go to twitter, insult the President, the and the Chief of Army Staff. Make sure you write their full names in the insult. Within 3 to 6 hours the Army and the police will locate you.
This will happen again and again and again and again and again.
Africans will continue to be the perfect scapegoat for the stupendous crimes of the Euro-American bourgeoisie class.
The bourgeoisie will continue to rob the white working class blind and point to the "outsider" to be the perfect punching bag.
They did it with the Windrush generation.
They did it with the Irish and Eastern Europeans.
They're doing it with black and brown people's and Muslims and immigrants.
On and on this farce goes!
Because the bourgeoisie class knows one crucial truth:
If the masses aren't given an outlet to project all of their personal and societal failings unto, the outcome is almost always a socialist revolution where the working class put the greedy capitalists to the sword, seize the levers of state and the means of production, and start building meaningful lives for themselves.
This will also sadly continue until African Patriots do three things:
1. Organize.
2. Tie up our traitorous leaders like goats and pump them so full of bullet holes that their chest resembles those singlets Onitsha market men wear
3. Seize the levers of state and means of production.
Until then
The moment Nigeria gets balkanized, that's when you'll realize that inside that your Yoruba Ronu, another Ronu dey inside.
Ijebu will start clamoring for regional autonomy in this new Oduduwa republic. Ekiti, Ijesha, Egba etc will all have competing interests.
You know why?
Because before the colonizers came, these people were not fucking...
dancing around in a circle holding hands and weeping with joy about how united in Oduduwa they were.
No.
They were literally putting bullets in each other's bodies and forcing each other into slavery in a multi century back and forth struggle.
There was no "Yoruba" in the homogenous nation state sense of the word.
And what about the middle belt? In Benue state for example, there are dozens (yes, DOZENS) of tribes who don't like each other and will not hesitate to pick up a knives or rifles to settle old scores.
The Fulani and Berom need no introduction.
Even in the core north, many young Hausa are increasingly discontent about the absolute political dominance of the Fulani despite outnumbering them.
Islam can only go so far to quell a people with so much latent resentment.
What about Igbo land?
Some Abia parents won't let their kids marry from the next village.
Anambra people turn up their noses at Ebonyi people and consider them lesser Igbos.
Okay nau.
By the time the "Ebonyi Liberation Movement" picks up EU-supplied rifles now to fight the "tyrants in Awka" everybody mind go dey.
When the "Imo Freedom Army" (IMA) suddenly pop out of nowhere and demand full control of the humongous reserves of natural gas deposits (up to 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas)...
And this same IMA starts bombing government buildings in Enugu and Anambra to get their point across....
Everybody go understand.
What about the South South where I'm from?
The rest of the Edo people most likely will not recognize the "divine" authority of the far away Oba of Benin and could pick up arms to settle their differences.
The Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri and dozens upon dozens of smaller tribes will 100% pick up every weapon they can find to secure the oil for themselves.
So Mr/Mrs. Secessionist, I want you to understand that the problems of neocolonialism, bad governance and bigotry you're running away from in Nigeria will not magically disappear the moment you get Biafra 2.0, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan or any other ethno state.
You will simply plunge this patch of West Africa into a multi pronged civil war that will last many many decades.
Sudan, Libya and Somalia will look like a paradise.
There will be total collapse of supply chains, bandits and terrorists would carve out their own territories and the colonizers will be arming every slack witted tribal chest thumping young man with a rusted AK47 to kill his fellow miserable black man so Mr. Colonizer can keep extracting Lithium, Oil and gold for dirt cheap.
You will waste generations and millions of people will starve to death .
This is one of the reasons I am so so militant about this.
The colonizers forced us together. That is true.
But it's up to us if we want to keep flinging sand and knives at each other, or if we want to work together toward prosperity for our future and our children.
A Nigeria that works for everybody is the way. Toss your stupid Biafra, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan ideas into the trash and light it on fire.
Emeke Ike as a matter of urgency needs to institute a charge against INEC for breach of personal and private data. It is actionable under Data Protection Act of 2023.
pentazocine is no joke, on this particular day I had it cause I had this unbearable pain but Omo, I was seeing things, felt like I was in an action movie, the feeling was so good I was loosing control of my mind, I was so scared I thought I was never coming back. I thought I was going mad. Since then no matter the pain paracetamol is my limit.
