Never underestimate the power of a billboard #PowerOfABillboard

#Thread
So powerful that it has become an instrument of change #PowerOfABillboard
Putting a billboard in a strategic place is enough to get you noticed even by your enemies. #PowerOfABillboard
You wonder why politicians fight themselves over billboards and even go about destroying the billboards of their opponents.
It's the power inherent in this medium of communication. #PowerOfABillboard
This movie further proved the effect of billboards:
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri #PowerOfABillboard
Movie Poster: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri #PowerOfABillboard
The movie actually inspired so many similar moves #PowerOfABillboard
I may just lead a similar move to question the killings in the country. #PowerOfABillboard
It will read:

OVER 579 NIGERIANS KILLED IN FARMERS HERDERS CRISIS

AND STILL COUNTING...

HOW COME, PRESIDENT BUHARI?

Fellow Constituents,

I would like to formally announce my candidacy for member representing Ijebu North East Constituency in the Ogun State House of Assembly on the platform of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the coming elections due on the 2nd of March 2019 #ThinkAhead
It will be a great privilege to effectively represent the people of Ijebu North East at the House of Assembly bearing in mind that our people have suffered abject neglect over time and especially in the course of the current administration #ThinkAhead #OGHA19
Effective representation requires that I have a proper understanding of what issues are crucial to making our people happier and how to address them using the legislature as a tool. #ThinkAhead

Never underestimate the POWER of a United Voice. Stop playing partisan games & emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Nigeria belongs to all of us & the leaders are meant to serve us all. Keep lending your voice. #EndBankingFraud #SanitizeBankingSector @DrOlufunmilayo 🙏🏽
It may not be as easy as it seems though. Let us appreciate the wonderful listening @NGRSenate under the leadership of HE @SPNigeria @bukolasaraki for his leadership strides. We are however following up until this materializes and Nigerians confirm this with their testimonies. 🤓
So here are the quick facts about the resolution of the @NGRSenate calling on the @cenbank to suspend the excessive ATM Card Maintenace charges and reconfigure the ATM machines to dispense more. The @CPCNig was also mandated to look into the complaints. You won again!

I'm going to quickly answer a series of objections that come up *literally* every time I post about the misogynistic filth (and other genres of hate) that are lobbed at me regularly for doing my job as a scholar. #thread
Objection: I'm playing the victim.

Reality: I'm accurately describing a phenomenon in which I am not at fault. Nobody deserves the hate mail I receive, absolutely nobody. Also, I'm not asking people to feel sorry for me. I am raising awareness.
Objection: Just block people who attack you.

Reality: I have blocked thousands of Twitter accounts. These is not a few bad apples but rather a society-wide phenomenon of permissibility of vile speech against women. We need to confront our demons because we can't outrun them.

The Tinubu Rhetoric - My Response, By Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki

I have always restrained from joining issues in the media with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and this is based on my respect for him.
However, I will not allow him to create a wrong, false and mischievous impression about the reasons for my decision to exit the All Progressives Congress (APC) and present his prejudice as facts for public consumption.
I have been consistent in my complaints to all leaders of the APC, including Tinubu, that a situation where the National Assembly is not constructively engaged or carried along in key policy decisions, particularly those that will eventually require legislative approval,.....

Response to the @OfficialAPCNg Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by Yusuph Olaniyonu (@YusuphOlaniyonu), Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
"It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains."
"Having decided not to join the pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any meaningless exchange with the demagogue that is now in charge of APC."-#ResponseToOshiomhole

Interesting... I have had my thoughts on this whole #QAnon "thing", they have not changed but I've just evolved it a tad further. amp.thedailybeast.com/trumps-biggest…
My opinion of the Q are the same of John Edwards or Nostradamus; there is an art to it, but it's not authentic.
I found Q to be on par with a gypsy fortune teller. Always have and I don't see what could change that.
If your really into it, that's cool. If his/her posts get you questioning things and doing your own research, well that's just wonderful! We need people to question the narrative... Cuz the narrative is often 🐂💩.

1.Thread on why we need to expose the swamp. Remember this from A Few Good Men? The Col. Jessup Monologue
2.Does this sound familiar?nypost.com/2018/01/23/evi… " it’s as if a scandal of this magnitude is more than America can bear — so let’s pretend there’s nothing to see and move along."
3."Of the eleven uses of the Espionage act, seven have been by the Obama administration" Did you know that? This means Obama was not a friend of whistleblowers. It also means he thought he knew better on your behalf.nau.edu/uploadedFiles/…
