Not like anyone asked but dear Nigerian up and coming social media ‘hot takers’ and ‘social commenters’ it is EVIDENCE not EVIDENCES. Evidence both singular and plural.
Watching Nigerian content fit reduce IQ if care is not taken 😩
Solid green paper session for the bot today.
More progress, and one step closer to live deployment. Documenting the full journey publicly — from validation to live proof.
May open this to a small early circle (20–30 people) who follow from the start.

I’m so ashamed. Words can’t describe how I feel. You don’t sound like you’re qualified to be a special adviser to a local govt chairman not to talk of a president.
Know how brilliant the average Nigerian is - I’m so ashamed!
PRESS STATEMENT
In the last 24 hours, social media has exploded over my interview with Mehdi Hassan, albeit with varied opinions. Let me set the record straight.
When I signed on to the privileged job granted to me by Mr. President, I was well aware of its implications. Selling ice cream, looking fine, and seeking the praises of men were never part of it. Some of the fiercest critics of my interview can not even stand local TV anchors. But the task of promoting and defending the President and his administration is what I do with ease and joy. I am prepared to appear before any interviewer, anywhere in the world, any day and at any time, to defend this government and its policies.
I have never, and will never, subscribe to ducking or dodging interviews on matters that concern promoting and defending the administration I was appointed to serve. It is the least of what is required of me.
Head to Head contacted me requesting an interview, stating that they wanted to challenge our government on security, the economy, and corruption. Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past. If that had been their plan, ethically and professionally, they were supposed to inform me so I could prepare my response. But that’s okay, ethically, that is on them, not on me.
I refused to swallow the pill of Mehdi’s “opposition research-style journalism,” and even today, if you carefully compare what he read as quotes from organisations and groups, you will see that many were inaccurate and some were outright fake news. But I will leave that for another day.
As for what I said about President Tinubu in the past, I am glad those were things I said when I was in the opposition saddle with such zeal. It is all politics. Half of Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of people who once spoke against him, and quite a number of people in our own cabinet also spoke against President Tinubu in the past. Those things do not bother him if you care to know.
The majority of the naysayers are members of the opposition and their sympathisers. It does not bother me one bit. Their temporary excitement over the interview has not lasted and will not last, because it does not take away their obvious problem of lack of vision, mission in conducting and managing a political party; yet they seek to manage Nigeria. Clearly they have no path to victory and no alternative policies or program for the Nigerian people. And if they say they do, they can as well go to head to head and be interrogated on that; as the saying in Hausa goes “Ga fili Ga doki”
I conclude by thanking the many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who sent in their commendations over my brave defence of our government in an interview where the anchor would hardly let you answer a question unless it suited his narrative.
I still have admiration and respect for Mehdi Hassan as arguably the best debater on the planet. I look forward to part two of the Head to Head interview, and I am glad that by then questions about my past will no longer be news so that we can focus on our administration’s policies, programs and what we have achieved so far.
Stay tuned.

It’s not even funny @BwalaDaniel - in as much as the govt you work for is so incompetent, your inability to hold your own, show due diligence and even argue your points (however weak they were) reasonably is so shameful!
As someone who lived in Lagos before exiting, I believe that to genuinely enjoy Lagos, you must fall into one of four categories:
(1) You’re an occasional IJGB visitor, returning intermittently and selectively, buoyed mostly by nostalgia and the romance of distance.
(2) You have never lived in a properly functioning city outside Nigeria for more than 3 consecutive months; a strenuous visit to Zanzibar or Kenya every other year does not qualify.
(3) Your income, social or other advantages are so tightly coupled to Lagos that leaving would require an intolerable loss of status, access, or opportunity making you a rational actor under enormous constraints.
(4) You are temperamentally suited to chaos and tolerant of disorder in a manner that is so unusual, it would be best explained by a rare combination of low intelligence, a comfortingly low threshold for environmental expectations, and the possession of just the right physical resilience required to absorb the daily friction.
Outside these categories, Lagos is utterly a hell hole. I will always stand by this. More than half the world’s population would struggle to believe it is even possible to live under conditions this hostile especially because those conditions are obscured by a remarkable asymmetry between everyday lived experience and the city’s relentless PR.
lol. They practically told Senegal to come back onto the pitch with the promise that Morocco would miss the penalty.
Mendy had a talk with the Penalty taker to inform him where to place it. The whole plot was obvious.
Sane was convinced that this doesn’t look good for Africa, and he was instrumental to ushering his teammates back onto the pitch. Haha.
As of today
- Strategy code written and locked down
- Backtested with 6 months data locally and the result is decent.
- Repo is clean and pushed to Git - dev branch
- Simple UI built
From next week phase 2 testing with paper trading
Tweak, adjust and deploy live 🤞🏾 😁😁
Past few weeks I’ve been working on an automated trading bot this is based on a strategy I know works - I’ve backtested this strategy and I’ve seen it play out multiple times when I’m trading - I’ve been trading for a few years now so I think I’m onto something
1/2…
My disdain and disgust for Nigeria grows every single day. 3 plus decades on earth and not a single thing to write home about.
Nothing works and no one include citizens seems to care
Value system complete nonexistent
ATP I fit exchange my passport for Akara I swear!
😡😡😡
@Iledare@SoufianeS6@Greatmannfxlion Looks like you live in the states. Why is it hard to call a spade a spade. No single thing works in Nigeria
No infrastructure
No social amenities
Something as basic as 24/7 electricity is not available in 2026! And when people call it out - you push back as if it’s a lie. Why?
