Benjamin Netanyahu is three weeks from an election he cannot afford to lose, because if he does, he goes to prison.
He is still on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, and he WILL end up in prison unless something BIG happens to stall proceedings.
Something like a major escalation with Iran. A real Iranian strike gives him the one thing a courtroom will not, a reason to freeze the country, rally the base, and postpone the election.
Watch and see.
See as no one remembered his hometown when he wasn’t perceived as a threat.
Anyway, the person who he contested against in Lagos for senate is currently contesting for Governor in Ogun state.

The best advice I received as a hadith student: memorize scholars’ names, death dates, and regions. It helped me connect the dots.
I made this list to help students do the same. Learn a few names each week, revise regularly, and soon you’ll know them by heart.
Dear Lagosians,
In 1980, Alhaji Lateef Jakande started the construction of the then non-existent Lekki-Epe Expressway, to connect the Eastern axis of Lagos State by road to the rest of Lagos.
By December 1983, when Muhammadu Buhari & his band i of coupists struck, he had completed it to up to 53km, at Ibeju-Agbe town.
Buhari ordered a stop to ALL development works in Lagos State, including the Metro Rail Line Project that had already been paid for in full, & the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru, appointed Governor by Buhari, an indigene of Ikorodu, Lagos State, instead reduced the scope of the project to single carriageway and connected Ibeju-Lekki to Epe regardless.
In 2003/2004, Tinubu, from Iragbiji, in Osun State, signed the Lagos State PPP board. In 2006, he suddenly announced that LCC had "won" the concession for the Lekki-Epe Expressway, with no public or private bidding process, & the project was valued at ₦50b at the time.
He then also announced the transfer of 1500 hectares of prime, beach front land to Messrs ARM Ltd, gratis, as Lagos State's "contribution" to the funding of the Lekki-Epe Expressway "expansion" project. Lagos State was selling plots at Abijo Residential Scheme at the time at ₦5m per plot. The 22,500 plots at Lakowe would therefore cost about ₦67.5b, with a 40% discount off Abijo, just 10 minutes away.
Not long after, a $42m "mezzanine loan" was granted to LCC/ARM by LASG! Again, more state contribution to the ostensibly "private" project.
The concession agreement grants sweeping powers to LCC, & is reminiscent of colonial "protectorate" agreements in its letter and its spirit, but that was always the intention, as we have seen over time.
The Lakowe land was used as collateral for a $340m syndicated loan, provided in tranches of $85m each by UBA Capital (Elumelu - now you understand the "Prezzdential" visit), Stanbic IBTC, Standard Bank of South Africa and African Development Bank (years before Akinwunmi Adeshina).
Tolling began when construction barely reached km 6, and the construction remains UNCOMPLETED till date. 17 years under construction, for a dual carriageway that was at 53km within 3 years, FORTY YEARS AGO!
I keep hearing 4th Mainland Bridge, at almost ₦1 trillion as of 2019. With the devaluation of the ₦ since then, we're looking easily at over ₦1 trillion now, plus another 20 years to complete, based on their record on Lekki-Epe Expressway, plus 50 years tolling, and the near complete demolition of Ikorodu, Badore and parts of Lekki from behind the Lagos Business School.
If you still vote for APC in Lagos State after reading this, you deserve everything that will surely befall you if they win.
Postscript: At the height of Tolling of Lekki-Epe Expressway & Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, a certain individual was earning a fantastic sum running into hundreds of millions DAILY in CASH. Now you understand the kerfuffle surrounding the new notes.
You also understand the why of the #LekkiTollGateMassacre
What have we done to deserve this?🥺
First, ElNathan John. Now, Chimeka Garricks. I even heard we can expect to hear from Femi Kayode in 2027.
What a time to be a reader!
Married men jumping into several women’s DMs like dogs with no restraint is embarrassing.
Nobody holy pass but a man with game shouldn’t be seen practicing such.
Not every woman needs your “Hi dear.” Not every picture is an invitation.
You can’t move silly and act shocked when daughters of eve decide to drop your hungry chats on social media.
Be guided.
The Berlin Wall fell on 9 November 1989. Germany's national day is 3 October.
There is a reason, and it is one of the heaviest decisions the country ever made. 🇩🇪
9 November was the favourite. It is also a date German history keeps returning to.
9 November 1918. The Kaiser's empire ends and the first German republic is proclaimed.
9 November 1923. Hitler's first attempt at a coup collapses in Munich.
9 November 1989. The Wall opens.
Three turning points on one date. Germans call it the 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴, the day of fate.
But there is a fourth.
9 November 1938. The night the synagogues burned.
Celebrating on 9 November would mean celebrating on the anniversary of that night. Germany decided it could not.
So it took 3 October 1990 instead, the day East Germany formally joined the Federal Republic. A paperwork date.
Which is why the 𝘛𝘢𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘌𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘵 feels so quiet. No bonfires, no parades, no customs anyone grew up with. A civic festival in a different city each year, and a day off.
The date with all the feeling in it was already taken, by a night that can never be celebrated.
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 🇩🇪
As Premuim times has gone this length to investigate Obi’s certificate can they also do the same for other presidential candidates!
Can they also call the primary school and secondary schools attended by other presidential candidates
