When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.

Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.

In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.

He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.

Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.

You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.

Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.

You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.

The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.

One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.

And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.

The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.

It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.

Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.

The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.

I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.

Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.

The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.

@iamdayoamusa This is what you should be explaining to ordinary Nigerians. This is the image the world have about Nigeria.

The country cannot succeed with politicians who have this kind of appetite. And you will never curb this kind of appetite unless you forcefully send a message that will never be forgotten.

Everything else is just surface dressing.

20 something year olds are joining mouth to say the benefits of the macroeconomic policies won’t show now but in kinikan years. Forgetting that the almost 40 year olds said the same thing about a decade ago while watching their futures get eaten up.

By all means, have Principles and Standards.

I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

[DR AFO @Dr_Afo]

This right here is the problem of Nigerians.
We adapt to anything at blistering speeds.
Gas is expensive, ditch it and start using charcoal.
Sachet water is expensive, ditch it and start drinking well.
They are kidnapping in the rural areas, ditch it and move to urban arrears.
Fuel is too expensive, pack car at home and take public transport.
Foreign rice is too expensive, ditch it and buy cheap local and stony ones instead.
They kidnap and kill one child, hold the remaining ones tight and keep praying.
We don't have a limit to our ability to suffer.
We are the most useless and gullible citizens on the planet.

@NigeriaStories Alot of fraud happened under Muhammadu Buhari's administration.

Nigeria Air scam

Only took you 3 years to arrive at where I was in May 2023.

By the way, he's also not a qualified pilot and he made up at least one of the helicopter pilot schools he claimed to have attended. The so-called "Petroleum Helicopters Institute” does not exist.

Leave it to that useless dead bastard called Muhammadu Buhari to make a total fugazi like this one a cabinet minister.

Alleged N2b Nigeria Air Fraud:   How Sirika Allegedly Used Ethiopian Airlines as Fake Nigeria Air-Witness

The 12th Prosecution Witness, PW12, Christopher Odofin,   in the trial of the former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Abubakar Sirika, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, told Justice S.C. Oriji of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT,  High Court Abuja, how Sirika allegedly passed off an aircraft belonging to Ethiopian Airline as that of the promised Nigeria Air by the government of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.

The decoy aircraft, adorned with the livery of the promised Nigeria Air, found its way on the tarmac of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on May 27, 2023, being three days to the expiration of the tenure of the Buhari government and was flown back to Addis Ababa in the morning of May 29, 2023, being the handover date to the successor government.

Hadi Sirika is facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on amended six-count, bordering on alleged abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds to the tune of over N2 billion, alongside his daughter, Fatima Hadi Sirika, son-in-law, Hamma Jalal Sule, and Al Buraq Global Investment Limited.

The contract for the setting up of Nigeria Air was awarded to Tianaero Nigeria Limited, belonging to Gabriel Tilmann, a close associate and friend of the former minister.

Reading from a portion of contract agreement with Ethiopian Airline, the witness, an investigator with Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC said “The aircraft will depart from Addis Ababa (ADD) late evening of May 26, 2023 for it to be positioned early morning of May 27, 2023 at the Abuja (ABV) airport. The aircraft will stay in ABV airport for static display of Nigeria Air livery until May 28, 2023. The aircraft will leave ABV airport early morning on May, 29, 2023. The chartered flight will be operated by the Ethiopian Airline crew in Ethiopian Airline uniform. The Federal Government of Nigeria and Nigeria Air may put together local models who will be in Nigeria Air uniforms to pose for ceremonial pictures. The models may come to Addis Ababa so they may fly with the chartered flight to ABV.”

The witness told the court that the display of the aircraft in Abuja International Airport was deliberately planned to coincide with the end of the first defendant’s tenure as Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development on May 29, 2023 and to pass the aircraft off as the actualization of his promise of the return of Nigeria Air. After the less than 72 hours display of the aircraft, he stated that the Nigeria Air logo was removed from the aircraft and flown back to Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa.

The witness further disclosed that the investigating team was also able to ascertain that Ethiopian Airlines entered into a charter arrangement for the static display of the Nigeria Air livery for a duration of just three days, beginning from May 27 to May 29, 2023 based on information and documents received from the airline following a letter from it, dated June 12, 2023, in response to the EFCC’s request for information regarding Nigeria Air. And that though the purpose of the contract was for the establishment of Nigeria Air, the charter agreement with Ethiopian Airlines was entered on May 24, 2023, five days to the expiration of the defendant’s tenure for just a static display of the Nigeria Air logo on an aircraft.

All the documents tendered in evidence by the prosecution were shown to have been duly signed, authorized, and accompanied by certificates of identification and were not objected to by any of the counsels to the four defendants.
Among the exhibits is a compact disk containing a voice note from the first defendant, Hadi Sirika, marked Exhibit 37, which the prosecution counsel applied to be played in the court at the next adjourned date.

This is not a good precedent for a society that wishes to progress. See how grown idiots have successfully convinced these naive minds that their problems are spiritual! Instead of enlightening them that the government has failed them!
