Speaking truth to power, regardless of religion or ethnicity • Nigeria first; religion and ethnicity come after • Pan-African Socialist

We need statesmen and women, not politicians.

Nigeria is in dire need of statesmen and women. people who prioritizes the long-term good of our nation, acts with integrity, vision, and principles.

[Marvin Wariboko-Olali @waribokoolali]

We already knew this, but did this man just indirectly tell Nigerians that our president is a US intelligence asset, and that the American government doesn't care about Nigeria as long as its asset is protected? If this doesn't wake Nigerians up, I don't know what will.

Re: Tinubu files, Nigerians need to understand the US doesn't work like Nigeria. With all our flaws, we do have transparency and the rule of law. Not to say it is perfect, but it's strong.

So no, nobody paid the FBI or CIA or the judge or Trump to block the release of the files. The legal reason they are stating is valid (not saying it's accurate, but it is plausible): Release of the files would endanger lives -- likely either informant(s) or undercover agents. That's the question on the table before the judge now.

And since that is the question, what is the answer? Whose life or lives are they afraid will be threatened if this information comes out? Seeing that we're 33 years later, there's zero chance it's an undercover operative. So it's a snitch. A rat.

And who is the one fighting the release? Tinubu himself. So it stands to reason that the way he got out of the heroin trafficking charges back in 1993 was not just forfeiting the $460k, but also ratting out others in the network.

This was a big operation, reaching into the South East Asian underworld -- where people in power then are still in power now.

Not long after Tinubu left the US, the US attacked those networks. Was it based on information Tinubu provided? If so, then yes, releasing the files may well put his life in danger.

Did he turn over names of prominent Nigerians too? People who may back him now politically, unwittingly? That could prove fatal for him, too.

This is my working theory: BAT is a RAT.

A literal fraudster was getting visibly angry at me for being an atheist, threatening me with hell, and wishing me a miserable life… The absolute irony of a thief giving me a lecture on morality and eternal punishment is wild…

Yesterday, a senior management official at @UBAGroup reached out to me regarding my views on the treatment of the young woman in UBA’s Graduate Management Accelerated Programme (GMAP) who addressed @TonyOElumelu by his first name.

I made it clear that, in my view, this was not a “culture clash”; it was a class war, a reflection of the deeply entrenched hierarchy and class consciousness that too often determines who is considered entitled to demand deference and who is expected to provide it.

I gave a simple example, if Tony @TonyOElumelu son or daughter addressed the family gateman or driver by his first name, hardly any Nigerian would bat an eyelid.

In fact, many of the same people outraged by this young woman calling him “Tony” would probably expect the gateman or driver to address Elumelu’s children with exaggerated deference. That tells you immediately that this argument is not really about “African culture” or respect. It is about class, status, wealth and power, about who society permits to speak casually to whom.

More importantly, I specifically requested that, given the enormous public opprobrium, ridicule, and attacks this young woman has been subjected to, UBA must immediately provide her with appropriate psychosocial support.

Whatever anyone thinks about how she addressed @TonyOElumelu, no young employee or trainee should be left alone to absorb the psychological consequences of suddenly becoming the target of a massive public controversy.

She should not be sacrificed on the altar of corporate hierarchy or social-media outrage. Her dignity, welfare and mental well-being must come first. Let the poor breathe!

Something happened today in Imo State that touched me deeply. Her name is Nzerem Blessing Kamsiriyochukwu and her mother sells corn on the streets in Owerri.

She is in JSS 3 and heard about the 2-week technology bootcamp with NITDA that we will be having in Enugu starting on Monday.

We told them we couldn’t accept students from states outside Enugu because we don’t want to cater to the logistics for those outside Enugu.

Her mom pleaded and gave her all she had (₦120,000) to move to Enugu from tomorrow for 2 weeks and join her peers to get the training.

It’s so touching to see her mom sacrifice everything just for her daughter to get an education.

She said she would rather stay hungry but will give her daughter every opportunity to get educated.

This is the spirit that defines us.

When a woman choose to abort, kill her child or be unclad, it is her choice but when a woman chooses to keep a home or give birth as she chooses, it is her husband making her do it.

It is women choice only when it suits you best people.

[Martins U. 💡💡💡 @_Mahlo1508]

Bola Tinubu being an American asset should not come as a surprise. We already established this during the last election cycle and tribunal.

Watch Lioness. You will understand the CIA can work with the devil as long as it serves and protects their interests.

Pablo Carrillo was the brother of Alvaro, the ruthless head of the Los Tigres cartel in Mexico, who was working with Iran and China.

The CIA captured Pablo, who was living in America disguised as a tax lawyer, and gave him a choice:

• Go to prison
• Or betray his own brother.

They offered him protection, freedom, and control of the cartel if he agreed to work with them and cut ties with America’s enemies.

Pablo accepted. He arranged a meeting with Alvaro. They embraced like brothers. Then Pablo pulled the trigger.

Pablo walked out as the new head of the Los Tigres cartel with the CIA’s blessing.

The CIA didn’t destroy the cartel; they only replaced the man at the top.

[Abu The 𓃵 @Abu_The_Truth]

So the FBI/CIA hold criminal records on Nigeria’s president and choose not to release them. Perhaps if we stopped blaming imperial colonizers and actually held our leaders accountable, those drug trafficking records would mysteriously declassify themselves.

[Jesse Jagz Abaga @Jessejagz]

You’ve got state governors who’ve decided their only job is working to re-elect the president, but you feel say na jargo be your problem. Una go learn.

Boycott any artist that isn't creating art that resonates with our current reality as African people.

Boycott any celebrity that is sponsored by the establishment.

Boycott BBNaija and their contestants, they're all sellouts.

Boycott billionaires, our pain is their gain.

@OtitoNosike By your explanation, would we then call the Catholic Church idolatrous, given its use of crucifixes, statues and other physical representations in worship?

[Marvin Wariboko-Olali @waribokoolali]

This is why a lot of us see democracy as a ridiculous system—a political show.

Please tell me; how does someone with no governing experience, beyond being the son of a miserable president, end up with the ruling party's ticket?

The moment they bring religion into politics, just know they will deliver nothing!

[Marvin Wariboko-Olali @waribokoolali]

@Oluomoofderby Let's stop lying. Politics can be a career, but not everyone is fit for office. This fella in question has no experience as a lawmaker, and personally, I wouldn't trust him with even an LGA leadership position, let alone a seat in the National Assembly.

[Marvin Wariboko-Olali @waribokoolali]

@YusufMBuhari Nigeria is really something else, because what is this nonsense?

He has no governing experience, let alone experience as a lawmaker, yet simply because his miserable father was once our president, APC handed him the party ticket. No wonder the NASS is filled with clowns.

[Marvin Wariboko-Olali @waribokoolali]

Dear Nigerians,

The USA isn't your ally, nor will it save you. Neither will China, Russia, or any other country. Only Nigerians can save Nigeria. Election isn't an option, so we must revolt against our oppressors—foreign and domestic—if we want progress.

[Ayòmídé @Ayomide]

Person go chop allocation meant for your hospitals, roads, water works, schools…. You go see the person for community still they call them ‘your excellency’ and be groveling like a puppet that you are, all in the name of cultural respect….

You need to respect yourself first!

@Dienne_7 That's because under capitalism, innovation is too often driven by profit rather than public need—either creating products accessible mainly to the wealthy or developing technologies that can be used to monitor, influence, and control the masses.

[My Aunt Fanny 🇵🇸🇻🇪🇮🇷 @Dienne_7]

If capitalism breeds innovation, how come all the innovation is happening in a socialist country?
