Media people are the same everywhere.

Smack a media person today.

If I got laid off tomorrow & had to replace my salary asap, here’s exactly what I’d do:

1. Go to Instagram and start a fresh account. Use a spare email. No one has to know.

@ultimate_kombo Is it Mourinho that was not a good coach? I don hear

Inflation is a thief, and the government is cooking the numbers! 

Let’s talk about the latest inflation number @ 15.93%. 

Yeah, if you believe the lamba; because as Nigerians living in the real world, we know that number is a fantasy.

The NBS (National Bureau of Statistics) calculates inflation using a "basket of goods." But here’s the problem, their basket doesn’t look like your basket. While they average in the price of things you rarely buy, they often downplay the very high costs of the "Big 3"; transport, energy, and staple foods which make up nearly 80% of the average household’s survival budget.  

When you factor in the 50% spike in fuel costs, the rampant insecurity on our highways and all the other daily extra road block charges added to transport costs,  the real inflation rate for the average Nigerian is closer to 30%.

And let’s also bust the "Rebasing" myth real quick;

rebasing is just a statistical facelift at best. It does not lower prices. Truth is, you cannot rebase your way out of a cost of living crisis. The NBS can gamble with the base year all it wants, the reality remains: the cost of living is crushing everyone.  

Oh and the CBN just drained ₦6.88 trillion out of the system in two weeks through OMO auctions, in another attempt to curb inflation. But this is a classic mistake; you cannot solve a supply‑side crisis with monetary‑side punitive measures. 

And while we’re at it, you don’t solve rising costs by taxing the fuel and data that we need to work. So ignore the IMF totally!

Now, here’re a few pointers to the govt:

-Stop this tax-obsessed approach already. You will never Tax or VAT your way out of this current crisis.

- Hunker down and do the heavy lifting. Inflation in Nigeria is cost-push; driven by the high cost of production. If you want to lower inflation, secure the trade corridors so food reaches the market without disruptions. It’s simple; If supply goes up, prices go down.  

- Put an end to wasteful spending: Stop asking Nigerians to endure or "tighten our belts" while you expands your own waistline. Cut the cost of governance first.

Like H.E @peterobi says; “you cannot be telling people to fast, while you feast.”

- Our national productivity is being strangled by the state of our primary transport corridors; fix our critical Trunk A roads, not the “new legacy” vanity projects like the coastal road to nowhere.

Practice overall responsible and empathetic governance. Nigerians are in pain, we are being crushed under the weight of so-called reforms; time to end this experiment and get back to real nation building. 

- A new Nigeria 🇳🇬 is very much POssible.

This is a really beautiful video

[Ukeme Peters @ukpeters]

@tudobams @BrotherPossible Oboy, I listened to the whole video. I cannot be prouder. God just help Nigeria give us this President for just 4years. Everything will reset and that will be the standard going forward.

[Ukeme Peters @ukpeters]

@okiTwits No worries, Shey Maresca is coming to ManCity soon. We will see

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

Many people said PSG will score Arsenal lots of goals bla bla bla.

You see that Arsenal’s defensive structure, it is well drilled. It is unbelievable.

PSG needed a penalty to score them, Atletico Madrid needed a penalty to score them.

You cannot break these fuckers down. Kudos in that regard.

[Ukeme Peters @ukpeters]

@ChelseaFC @iamAbiodunAA No shame

[Ukeme Peters @ukpeters]

@Philopearl_Afc Very relaxed, I have a feeling PSG is not the whole hype. Secondly, Champions league is a bonus, we’re already achieved the main goal which was the Premier League. They shld just give us a good game, that’s all. But overall, it really feels we’re winning this one

@ultimate_kombo You forgot Chukwunonso Madueke

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

“My relationship with my club began the same way it does for most football fans: before I was old enough to understand what I was getting myself into. When I was nine, my uncle introduced me to a team with a cannon on its shirt, a grizzled captain named Tony Adams, and players like Nwankwo Kanu who had been born in Africa but now lived somewhere else, just like me. Arsenal felt familiar before I even understood why.

“And then there was the manager, a man who I initially thought had been named after the club and then believed that somehow the club must have been named after him. Arsene Wenger may have struggled with his raincoat, but rarely with his orchestra. The football his teams played sang.

“But what was once the nostalgia of the past has become the beauty of the present.

“We won. We are champions of England. And we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe too.”

@ZohranKMamdani, mayor of New York City, writes for The Athletic on what Arsenal means to him.

Just him and his achievements. No noise. No media tour. No gathering of playing and non playing staff for photo opps. No documentaries. Just a simple picture with a smile and back to work he goes to collect another on Sunday.

Be like David.

@MagaZigu @awoyemijoshua61 26 vs 23; there isn’t much difference there. Now do the same for goals conceded, there you have the difference
