AN OPEN LETTER TO KASH PATEL, DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Letters from Stockholm
Dear Director Patel,
I write to you as a Nigerian of the diaspora, a Swedish citizen, and the founder of Worldview International, on behalf of millions of Nigerians at home and abroad who have watched your Bureau's conduct before Judge Beryl Howell with growing disbelief.
On August 20, 2026, your agency filed a motion asking the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for permission to explain, in secret, ex parte and in camera, why it continues to withhold records concerning Bola Ahmed Tinubu, records dating to 1992 and 1993, records connected to a Chicago heroin trafficking investigation, records a federal judge ordered you to process more than a year ago. You claim their release could endanger lives and reveal law enforcement techniques. Techniques from 1993, Director. Thirty-three years old. The rotary telephone was still in service.
So permit me to ask you the question every Nigerian is asking.
Why is Bola Tinubu's file more sacred to your Bureau than the Epstein files?
Your administration promised the American people transparency on Jeffrey Epstein, files in which your own President's name has reportedly appeared, alongside the names of some of the most powerful men in the Western world. That promise collapsed into memos, redactions and retreat. And yet here you are, three years into Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, deploying the full machinery of the Department of Justice, extension after extension, Glomar responses that Judge Howell ruled improper, sealed declarations, secret submissions, all to shield the file of a foreign head of state who, in 1993, forfeited 460,000 US dollars to your government in a civil action alleging the funds were proceeds of heroin trafficking.
He was never charged, you will say. Correct. He simply handed over the money and walked away. Innocent men do not ordinarily pay the United States Treasury nearly half a million dollars to make questions disappear. And your Bureau's conduct since, producing not a single processed page despite a court order, despite your own promised timetables of January, March and June of this year, despite the open irritation of a federal judge who noted this case has been pending for over three years, tells its own story.
Why is this man so important to your agency, Director?
What service has Bola Tinubu rendered the United States that earns him protection your own citizens cannot obtain about their own government? Was he a source? An asset? A cooperator? If so, say it. If not, release the file. The Freedom of Information Act does not contain an exemption for the embarrassment of foreign presidents.
Let me tell you what your lawyers in Washington may not have explained to you. Nigerians are not fools. We are among the most educated diasporas in the United States, your own census data confirms it. We read court filings. We know what a Glomar response is. We know what ex parte means. We watched Judge Howell rule in April 2025 that your refusal to confirm the existence of records was, in her words, neither logical nor plausible, because your agencies had already acknowledged that Tinubu was a subject of investigation. Playing games with our intelligence will not work.
And understand this clearly. You may have leverage over one man. You do not have leverage over 230 million Nigerians. Nigeria is Africa's largest democracy, a trading partner worth billions of dollars annually to American business, the anchor of West Africa. Bola Tinubu will leave office, whether in 2027 or before. The government that follows him, and the generation that elects it, will remember precisely who shielded him, and why. A partnership built on the concealment of one man's past is not a partnership with Nigeria. It is a partnership against her.
There are also questions this file may finally settle that go to the heart of our 2027 presidential election. Questions about identity, about credentials, about a biography that has never withstood scrutiny, questions currently before Nigeria's own Federal High Court in the Atiku Abubakar suit over his eligibility. Nigerian voters have a right to the truth before they vote, not after.
Director Patel, you built your public reputation denouncing the deep state, secret files, and two-tiered justice. You wrote a book about government gangsters. Here is your test. The box is already open. The dots are already connected. Every day of delay, every sealed declaration, every extension request is itself an answer, because no agency fights this hard, this long, to conceal a clean record.
Release the Tinubu files. All of them. Let Nigerians judge for themselves.
History is watching you, and so are we.
Yours faithfully,
Kio Amachree
Founder and President, Worldview International

Igbo presidency is one of the major reasons why a lot of South-easterners are supporting Peter Obi, it has nothing to do with competence, because if that wasn't the case, they would've supported Obi back in the day when he ran for the VP position. An opportunity presented itself, and they ran with it.
Yorubas, many, still endorse Tinubu despite his administration being the most painful to experience and live thru, despite the gross incompetence across all tiers of govt. Because they want their person there.
Northerners, majority, have made it crystal clear that they still endorse the Muslim-Muslim ticket even after this brought no change to our problems.
In Nigeria, many people are choosing to endorse/support candidates simply based on ethnic ties and religious preferences.
If you really sit down and discuss with people, you will realize that we are not ready for 2027.
President Donald Trump, you cannot call Nigeria A Now Disgraced Country and your countries FBI will be begging to withhold Tinubu’s case file from being made available to Nigerians.
You have no moral rights to arrest any Yahoo Boy from Nigeria if you don't expose those files.
Nigerians are watching and must react according to resist cordial relationship with you if the right thing is not done.
Our Green Passport cannot be reduced to notting in the Henley Index and you want us to keep quiet over the criminality of few insignificant criminals who have found their way into political offices in Nigeria.

Word on the street is there could be a potential launch from the Trump family. Will probably be on either BNB or Robinhood, and I'd bet on the latter.
Wonder what impact this would have on the chain, runners would probably get shorted, liquidity expected to be sucked out from them.
My bet: will hot for a few days, then cools down once the euphoria slows. Best to be on the lookout and have funds ready for deployment either way.
All speculation, nothing confirmed so DYOR.
Look at the kind of goal Cristiano Ronaldo is scoring at 41. This man never ceases to amaze me. Incredible talent and the GOAT of world football. There will never be another Ronaldo. He’s a football religion every upcoming star should study. 🐐👑
I just came across a post on Instagram where a young Ghanaian man was talking about the Aweawu plant and its spirituality.
I experienced that plant in 2017/18 when I travelled for the Olókun Festival in April.
In Yoruba, they call it Gẹ̀gẹ̀mú… popularly known as Datura.
Everything the Ghanaian guy said in that video was no joke.
Gẹ̀gẹ̀mú will take you on a spiritual journey you can’t finish explaining to anyone.
But please don’t experiment with Datura... It can kill you.
I experienced it under the guidance of my godparents, who had deep traditional knowledge of the plant.
If you meet a Yoruba traditionalist with deep knowledge of Gẹ̀gẹ̀mú, they will tell you that this is not a plant to play with... By the time you wake up after having the seed, life will humble you.
The plant is also known as the Devil's trumpet, when you consume it, you will feel Esu welcoming you with a trumpet and playing your life tape for you in 8K.
Important: Datura is extremely poisonous and can kill you. This is my personal experience, not an invitation to consume it. No put body without guidance.

To surpass your father, you cannot only inherit what he knew… you must encounter what he never encountered.
You must encounter new people, new places, new knowledge, new battles, new spirits.
There is a reason many sons eventually become no different from their fathers, even when they swore they would be different.
They inherited the same environment, the same fears, the same limitations and, as funny as this may sound, sometimes the same enemies.
Every generation is supposed to discover something the previous generation couldn’t reach.
Some fathers fought battles their children will never understand just to move the family one step forward.
Now it is your turn.
And one of your duties is to question the limitations your father was forced to accept as reality.
Do not spend your entire life fighting battles your father already won.
Every generation must go further into the unknown and that is how families evolve.
That is how bloodlines change.
Your father conquered the world he knew.
Your responsibility is to discover the worlds he never knew existed.
It is a relay race... We are all going to be ancestors someday and those coming behind us will pick it up from wherever we stop.
That is how generations advance.
