🧵 A thread every Nigerian must read, and might cry by the end. Not because it’s sad. Because it’s true. Because we’ve all learned to live with it, even when it feels like we cannot do anything. What can we really do?
I ran these numbers until my hands were shaking.
27 years.
4 presidents.
I’m still not okay after writing this.
Kindly note: The figures below combine court convictions, court-ordered forfeitures, ongoing criminal proceedings, and major publicly reported corruption allegations. They do not all represent final convictions, but they illustrate the extraordinary scale of public funds alleged to have been lost or placed at issue over the past 27 years.
Every naira I converted to dollars was a hospital that was never built. A child who never got access to education. A family still burying someone they lost to a bandit attack nobody stopped.

@Tomisin_Alasiri Funny. In what capacity is Maradona better than Messi?? No player in the past is better than Messi. Messi is the ultimate benchmark on what the greatest player to ever kick a ball should be judged.
On this auspicious occasion of the birthday of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON, we celebrate not only a statesman of uncommon integrity but also a leader whose life of service and compassion continues to impact positively on humanity. Mr. Obi’s journey in public service has been marked by discipline, transparency, and a commitment to human development, values that have distinguished him as one of Nigeria’s most exemplary leaders.
His unwavering commitment to education, healthcare, and philanthropy reflects a life dedicated to service and humanity. May this new year bring you greater strength and fulfillment.
Happy Birthday, Okwute!
An average prisoner in Nigeria today is a victim of the state. Basically, a powerful individual gets a senior police officer to arrest and charge a Nigerian citizen to court. The judge is briefed in advance, bail is refused, and the person is remanded in prison.
When bail is eventually granted, it often comes with conditions that cannot be fulfilled, forcing the accused back to prison until another victim is shipped in.
Meanwhile, the real criminals are the ones filling the prisons with innocent countrymen and women. Nigeria must experience a REVOLUTION to end impunity.

When I was in Kuje Prison, I met Haruna Garba Gololo, who was sent there by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. He had been granted bail for nearly three weeks but was still unable to meet the bail conditions.
He’s spent several weeks in prison before being granted bail.
I also met David Nwokorie, who was arrested and detained by the Nigeria Police Force following a messy breakup with Genevieve Opara, the daughter of retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Hilary Opara. Last week, when Justice Rita Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court granted David bail after he had spent close to four months in prison, he was required to present a Level 16 officer and a colonel in the Nigerian Army as sureties. these are almost impossible bail conditions.
Even the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who is complaining of wrongful imprisonment of 93% of current inmates dragged a critic, Emorioloye Owolemi, before the Federal High Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State, over alleged cyberstalking, and the man languished in prison for months.
I was sent to prison by Tinubu.
There are 817 awaiting-trial inmates in Kuje out of a total prison population of 1,115, with 47 of them diagnosed with tuberculosis.
That girl is only 21 and committed suicide because a 44-year-old raped her.
Guess what? These guys are arguing whether she was a virgin or not.
God forbid you, lots.
Nobody deserves to be raped. Nobody
We've seen women in hijabs get raped,We've seen children get raped,We've seen men get raped. We've seen young boys and girls abused ,raped by women and by men. Even men rape their fellow men or boys ,So how is it still about what someone was wearing?
A rapist is a rapist. The problem has never been the victim.
Rape is never the victim's fault. Never
