Yele, you are outrightly dishonest writing that: "We provided them with an enabling environment to apply to re-enter the university, gain admission, and study Law at the University of Lagos @UnilagNigeria."
I did not have any relationship with you before I got admitted to the University of Lagos. In fact, I got 310 in my UTME exam to gain admission to the University of Lagos and that was the best score for all applicants to the law faculty the year of my admission. So I was admitted on merit. It is outright falsehood to say you or anyone provided me with any enabling environment to get admission to the University of Lagos.
I honestly mean my statement that you are a comedian as I do not believe you yourself believe you have any chance in winning the contest for president of Nigeria, at least for now.
Leave your sanctimonious harangue to the unsuspecting young people you are lying to that you are a revolutionary or freedom fighter.

I watched an interview on #PoliticsToday* on @channelstv, anchored by @seunokin, in which the @OfficialAPCNg National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru (@DrSRJ), called me a “skit maker” and “comedian.”

I am presenting here a photograph I took with Ajibola in 1998, when I led the Congress of Progressive Youths (COPY), and we were both in the trenches fighting against military dictatorship.

What eventually happened to COPY offered an early indication of what Ajibola has become today, but that is a story for another day.

His premise is that because Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT was declared "winner" by @inecnigeria in the deeply flawed 2023 presidential election, those of us who contested against him should somehow be ashamed of losing.

Ajibola @DrSRJ came to the University of Lagos after he was expelled from the University of Ilorin in 1992 for student activism.
I received him alongside Kunle Adegoke, popularly known as “K-Rad,” who is now a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). We provided them with an enabling environment to apply to re-enter the university, gain admission, and study Law at the University of Lagos @UnilagNigeria. Both eventually graduated with flying colours and went on to accomplish great things.

The struggle for justice, democracy, freedom and the preservation of human dignity is neither skit-making nor comedy.
Ajibola knows this because he was once part of that struggle and benefited from the solidarity of those who refused to surrender to military tyranny.

It is unfortunate that he has become so carried away by the fleeting privileges of his current political position that he now ridicules the very struggle that helped shape his own future.

But Ajibola should know better. Political appointments are temporary. Tinubu's regime will come and go, just like the military regimes we confronted in our youth.

The principles we fought for in 1994 remain as relevant today as they were then.

Our commitment to justice has endured for decades and will outlast his present political appointment.
The struggle for freedom is not comedy. What is truly comical is watching yesterday's beneficiaries of resistance become today's defenders of the very oppression they once fought against. #RevolutionNow

Manchester United's Como humiliation exposed almost every issue at the club.

There's no swagger synonymous with serial winners of the past. There's no fear factor from opponents. Como controlled the ball and the game, and were rarely put under pressure.

The team currently lacks confidence, chemistry and depth. No one devoid of blame, from the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Michael Carrick and the players.

Manchester United look passive, adapting to their opponents' styles instead of imposing their own identity.

In recent weeks, we have seen early goals conceded, needless errors, toothless attacking, and not enough work done on or off the ball.

Add to that, players speaking their minds. Lisandro Martinez called out Jason Wilcox before apologising, and Bruno Fernandes said tonight that more tactical bravery is needed.

The seven-game winless run has not only exposed a lack of business over the summer in key areas, but also tested Carrick's own ability to manage during a more congested calendar. Injuries haven't helped, but can't be used as an excuse.

The Manchester United boss is now under pressure, especially with several high-profile managers available, including Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte.

No quick fix, and that includes changing manager. Yet history shows Manchester United managers tend to pay the price.

United sources have always insisted in recent weeks they want to back Carrick, but the same was said about Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, who were both then fired weeks later.

Interesting angle from Prince Dr @Pres_Adebayo Esq. I can’t wait for the follow-up interview to navigate the rest of the manifesto. This is the kind of serious and organized opposition I am interested in giving my voice to. Thank you Distinguished sir @dipopeters for highlighting this. 🇳🇬

When I speak in a French or German speaking country, I open in French or German. Then, a few lines in, I tell the audience I would prefer to continue in English. It works like magic.

It is my way of speaking to the heart of the people. They expected a man who would address them in English. Instead, they meet one who took the time to learn their language. The words that follow are meant for their minds. Those first few sentences are meant for their hearts.

Anyone who tells you language does not matter, in politics or in any human interaction, is doing one of three things. They are trying to fool you. They are trying to gaslight you. Or they simply do not know what they are saying.

Language sits at the root of human nature. We process it with the oldest parts of our brain. That is why, in a foreign land, the sound of your mother tongue arrests your attention before you have decided to listen. It is not your fault. It is being human.

Will speaking a people's language guarantee good policies? No. I assure you it will not. Policy is a different matter entirely. And it must be engaged for what it is.

But language matters. Simple as that.

Everyone knows this. Everyone. Even the Obidients of this world. So, imagine a normal human being pretending not to.

Gbo wa nbi Babatunde @BOGbadams , I would have told your principal, Gbadebo, to bounce you from the ticket, but that’d require INEC. You aren’t worth that time.

But I will still tell him to ensure you don’t handle campaign money whatsoever. Because we both know why you are really running under him.

Babatunde @BOGbadams , you blocked me. lol. How does that get in the way of you reading my tweets?

Egbon ode, you do realise that I will never have use for your timeline. It’s you who must read mine.

You invested several years ago, time to cash in on your compounded interest, you want to run.

You are better off deleting your account. Because what’s coming will come. That attention you’ve always craved, it’s here now.

This is just a notice. Everything I have posted isn’t the beginning.

You see kesekese you dey run, wetin you go do when kasakasa come? Gbewudani olofo! Lol.
