Normally I won’t dignify this tweet but to dissuade others from joining this false narrative, that was a video of contractors protesting the non-payments of work in 2024.
I know a few people in the video who organized the protest and they belong to different political parties or some not even giving a hoot about politics.
Let’s be responsible with how information is shared. Propaganda is not my stock & trade! I have got better use of my time 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Yeah but Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke who has worked in Shell and was the first ever female OPEC President was accused of looting and stealing by people here, despite coming from a wealthy home, simply cuz she was Minister of Petroleum under GEJ.
Setting the Record Straight on Dr. Zacch Adedeji’s Personal Wealth
Recent commentary suggesting that Dr. Zacch Adedeji’s lifestyle—particularly his choice of wristwatches—became possible only after his appointment as Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is both misleading and unfair. Such claims ignore his long-standing professional background and the financial realities of a career spent at the highest levels of the private sector.
Long before his appointment to public office, Dr. Adedeji built a solid career working with reputable multinational…
At 29 he was already the general accounting and stewardship manager with Procter and Gamble company…
Due to his blistering performance in his position, he became the finance leader after just 2yrs in his previous role..
A year after he became the cooperate finance manager (west Africa) at same Procter and Gamble company..
He left private sector to become the Oyo state commissioner for finance for 4yrs under the administration of Late Gov Abiola Ajimobi..His records in public office speaks for him…
Dr Zach Adedeji doesn’t eat with his 10 fingers, he is a good manager of resources and that has shown in his career over time..
Dr Zach later became the Executive secretary/CEO of the National sugar Development council (NSDC)
People who knew him them often refer to him as “olowo sugar”
He has never claimed to be poor despite his humble beginnings neither has he ever glorified poverty..
He is not a man of modest income..He makes so much money from personal investment while he was earning so well at these positions he occupied before becoming the chairman of NRS…
Therefore, it is embarrassing to say he started to live a life of affluence under the administration of President Tinubu…
He wasn’t a Motor boy neither was he a cleaner at these reputable organizations that he worked for..
These organizations are known for offering competitive remuneration, performance-based incentives, and international exposure to their senior professionals. It is therefore inaccurate to portray him as someone who suddenly acquired wealth only after assuming public office.
Dr. Adedeji’s professional journey reflects years of disciplined work, strategic leadership, and expertise in finance and management. Individuals operating at this level in the private sector are typically well compensated, often earning incomes that comfortably support a refined lifestyle. Owning quality personal items, including luxury wristwatches, is neither unusual nor suspicious for someone with such a background.
More importantly, personal possessions acquired before entering public service should not be retroactively politicized or presented as evidence of impropriety. Public service does not erase a person’s prior achievements, nor does it require them to renounce the fruits of years of legitimate labor.
What should matter most is Dr. Adedeji’s conduct in office—his transparency, integrity, and performance in leading a critical national institution. Attempts to reduce public discourse to speculation about personal accessories risk distracting from substantive issues and undermining constructive engagement.
In assessing public officials, fairness demands that allegations be grounded in facts, not assumptions. Dr. Adedeji was not poor before his appointment, and there is nothing inherently questionable about a professional who entered public service with an already established and comfortable standard of living.
@grok I’m looking at building a career from predictive analytics and applied data modeling, with a particular emphasis on analyzing and forecasting sports outcomes across leagues and regions worldwide.
Dear Heavenly Father, as I stand at the doorway of 2026, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. Before this new year fully unfolds, I place my life, my family, my work, and my future into Your hands. Go before me, and destroy every plan of darkness set against my life.
By the authority of Jesus, every curse that tried to follow me from previous years is stopped here. Every negative word, every repeated pattern, every hidden plan meant to delay my progress or steal my peace is cancelled now. What was sent to weaken me will not enter 2026 with me.
Cover my home with Your presence.
Guard my steps with Your wisdom.
Order my days with Your peace.
I declare that 2026 will not be marked by struggle, but by direction; not by heaviness, but by freedom; not by curses, but by the blessing of God.
Lord, I will not keep this prayer to myself. I promise to share this prayer with at least one person today. In the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Type “God is great” to disappoint the enemy!
As long as the 2025 capital budget is released,we shall use it for 2026 hoping the remainder of 2024 will be fully released so that both 2024 and 2025 capital funds will run concurrently in 2026. It’s more like skipping lunch and dinner and having them both as lunch the next day!
This was my observation while watching the clip. Executive & Force protection are the 101 of protection agents and those agents failed to defuse the situation and whisk their pricinpal away from impeding danger. Also, their threat assessment was very poor. They need to do better
How Wike Security Aides Failed Him...
Those security personnel who escorted Wike to that place of ignominy failed the most elementary rule of their training: in the face of a provoked atmosphere, your first duty is to tactically shield your principal and get him to safety. Instead, they stood there like zombies—frozen, waiting for the worst to happen.
Highly trained bodyguards would have cordoned off the area, placed their boss in the middle, and walked him away from the needless altercation that could easily have escalated into a deadly skirmish.
Policing goes beyond blaring sirens, following VIPs, and wearing starched khaki while wielding AK rifles—it is about tact, wit, and intelligence.
I remember sometime around 2010, when I served as an aide to the late Minister of Health, Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin. An incident occurred that deepened my respect for the dexterity of the DSS. The minister’s vehicle had knocked down an okada rider somewhere around Lere in Kaduna State, and in an instant, passersby rushed out in fury, tempers flaring.
Shola Aguda, the Chief Detail to the minister, did the unthinkable. He used the driver as a decoy, making the minister take the driver’s seat. In that heated confusion, the minister slipped out through the driver’s door and melted into the angry crowd.
In one swift, decisive moment, the DSS officer had saved his boss’s life—without firing a shot.
When we eventually regrouped at the office, we asked how he managed it. His response was simple yet profound: “My first responsibility is to protect my principal from harm or embarrassment.”
That’s precisely what Wike’s security detail failed to do today. They stood morose, watching their boss walk into self-inflicted humiliation. As aides to politically exposed persons (PEPs), there is a limit to how your principal should conduct himself in public—and it’s your duty to ensure he stays within that limit.
Tragically, many of today’s aides are the “Yes, sir” type—those who never see, let alone correct, their boss’s missteps. Just like the policeman seen on video exchanging words with a naval officer, they fail to grasp the golden rule: you don’t escalate a situation when a politically exposed person is involved—you de-escalate it, and ferry your boss first to safety.
The police need that training that comes with emotional intelligence very urgent.
Frankly musing
