Just a very short thread on #StrengtheningInstitutions in Nigeria:
You have heard this over and over "let us allow strong institution, not strong individuals"...
I put it to you that that fallacy will never work anywhere in the world.
Only Strong men can FIX institutions. 👇👇
Make no mistake, only #StrongMen can build #StrongInstitutions that will eventually run as though AUTOPILOT. #StrongInstitutions don't happen in isolation anywhere in the world....
Gen 2:5 said something very instructive on how God made things to work here on planet earth...👇
Gen 2:5 (NLT)
neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the LORD God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no PEOPLE TO CULTIVATE THE SOIL.

#StrongInstitutions "Soil" will never CULTIVATE itself & become strong suddenly if there's no MAN!
The principle of God for #StrengtheningInstitutions from that Scripture is simple. Although The land has been there, although GRAINS & fruits had been created by God. UNTIL men are AVAILABLE to TILL the ground (i.e build #StrongInsitutions) d land will remain BARREN. You get it?
Do not think this principle of #StrongMen building #StrongInstitutions is only coming up because I am a Nigerian, NO. Read the history of Nations, only strong men at some point in time rose up & insisted that what was WRITTEN must be IMPLEMENTED, as such such INSTITUTION STOOD!
Think about @NafdacAgency under late Dora Akunyili..
That institution had been there for yrs WEAK.
Until Dora arose, she arose like Deborah in Israel & EVERYBODY was forced to comply to what NAFDAC is all about. How did NAFDAC become a #StrongInsitution? Just one WOMAN ACTIVATED!
Think about Bureau of Pubic Service @bpsr_ng in Nigeria. That agency has been there for YEARS....UNTIL @DrJoeAbah arose, HE AROSE like Zerubbabel to BUILD #StrongInstitution & suddenly that institution became the apple of our eyes..
We need #StrongMen to BUILD #StrongInstitutions
Think about @CPCNig Consumers Council, have you heard much about it before?
Until this man @TundeIrukera arose, HE AROSE like Nehemiah to build #StrongInstitution out of that place, & suddenly we are hearing a bit of reformation of that same place....We need #StrongMen to BUILD!
Think about DATA, STATISTIC....
You know that you can't mess up with National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria ever since @sgyemikale arose, HE AROSE like Ezra the builder to build #StrongInstitution out of @nigerianstat....
Now that same institution will eventually BUILD others.
Think about VP Osinbajo as though we never had office of VPs in the past...
Think about how the name "Justice Banjoko" suddenly made it seems as though we are all EQUAL before the law, & the law can deal with ANYONE....
Only #StrongMen will build #StrongInstitutions.
Think about what will happen when we eventually have a straight man leading the Senate..
Think about the progress in @NigAirForce
Think about that lady leading @nigerianports
Think about that man leading @CustomsNG
Think about @HMKemiAdeosun weeding out the GHOSTs..
#StrongMen
If you think #StrongInstitutions will work irrespective of who occupies it, try and follow America and all kinds of Institutional breakdown just within two years of Trump. "If a home is calm, maybe the bastard among them is not yet of age" is an adage in Yoruba.
#StrongMen
Do you know why Governors are messing up? Simply because there's no strong HOA leaders YET in almost every State.
HOA is supposed to check State Govs, if we have sensible Speakers, would any Gov dare spend bail out fund on any other thing?
#StrongMen will build #StrongInstitution
Hate him like him,
The only Minister I have seen strengthening Aviation since 1999 is @hadisirika
@ChibuikeAmaechi came up & #Railway lines are getting UP..
@tundefashola has no time for drama, roads, power housing getting big attention...
Only #StrongMen can BUILD Institutions.
What if we've had somebody as Minister of communication, what do you think would have happened to our telecommunication in Nigeria? Buhari refused to make appointment for that, he only put Shittu there to OCCUPY SPACE.
Look at the progress Ajaokuta made under Fayemi..#StrongMen
We can debate issues till tomorrow, we can form different philosophical opinions. We can make rhetoric of "let us have strong institution" till eternity.
Until we ensure that we have #StrongMen & #StrongWomen holding forth each agency, there won't be #StrongInstitutions
#Thanks

1 Kings 19:15
When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, & anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael...

Malachi 7:7
"For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, And people should seek the law from his mouth; For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
There is nothing wrong IF Church leadership encourages people to support a GOOD LEADER to emerge...
#ChristiansAndPolitics
Right from Campus days, we have always been discouraging serious Christians folks to dissociate themselves from politics. At the end of the day, we turn around to complain about "people in authority"....What exactly do you expect when you discourage yours?

Now that Kemi Adeosun has resigned, at least we can check certain issues up as touching the forged exemption letter issued to her.
To start with, stop hyperventilating, there's nothing in @nysc_ng certificate of Exemption letter to be forged deliberately by her.
#FakeDocuments 👇
If you have lived here in Nigeria, the possibility that you are likely to have been a victim of #FakeDocuments is of high probability. So breaking your head on a long thread to "show" that Kemi Adeosun was "fraudulent" just showed your character of hypocrisy.
Victims abound here!
Studying abroad by Kemi Adeosun was enough for her to enjoy her life & practice ANYWHERE. So that alone should tell you that the issue of NYSC certificate exemption letter was just an unfortunate incidence that can't be deliberate.
Have you paid fully for fake docs here before?

I SPEAK TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOUR VOTES DON'T OR WON'T COUNT - so you decide to vote for the popular candidates or stay away from voting.

Let's think about the ALTERNATIVE and some possibilities.

#Thread
If you have been voting for the popular candidates or stayed away from voting, I am sure by now you understand the results of both choices haven't met your expectation.
The popular candidates always think they will win irrespective of what they throw at the people. They have the money so they can spend their way through the system.

Tragically what the #CorruptGOP doesn't seem to get is that because they are not dealing in facts, & they are propagating falsehoods to their base, an entire generation of Republican voters, workers, apparachik's at every level; the U.S.A. loses ultimately. There are
People basing real decisions, at real jobs- both public & private sector-on false information. We have the most powerful military, biggest Economy, in the most industrialized nation in the world making Domestic & Foreign Policy based on fasle information.
This can & will end only one of two ways. Either we reverse course before catastrophic consequence or we experience what could be the most catastrophic multi-national event that has occurred since WW2 & the most grave consequences since our Nation's inception nearly 300 yrs ago.

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

Just over 10 years ago, I interviewed @PaulMcCartney and we got to talking about how the best songs stay alive and, as with all living, breathing things, assume new resonances and textures as the years go by. (1/9)
@PaulMcCartney So many of Paul’s songs seem to do this, even ones that seem relatively lightweight at the time. Penny Lane. All My Loving. With A Little Luck. Mamunia. Even We All Stand Together can leave me misty-eyed on some days. (2/9)
@PaulMcCartney So, in the interview, I mentioned this. I put it to him that even When I’m Sixty-Four carries a poignancy which he couldn’t have foreseen when he wrote it. (3/9)

This retraction by @AlJazeera actually raises more questions than answers, and to my mind at least, brings to the fore, the fact that our Federal Republic of Anyhowness, has gone global...
Yesterday, asides @AlJazeera_World, other news outlets, including the Twitter only news outlet, @spectatorindex said that #Nigeria's ambassador had attended the opening of the American Embassy in #Jerusalem.
Isreali outlets such at @TimesofIsrael and @HamodiaIL also ran with the news. @haaretzcom actually went so far as to publish an infograph that included #Nigeria's name as one of the country's "celebrating with them" on the grand new opening...

A very short thread on DJing relating to the below. I'm in an interesting position coming back to DJing as an old bastard - in some senses a very fortunate one, that I'm old enough and ugly enough to take a few steps back from the relentless hustle.
Also because it's not my main focus in life, when I'm lucky enough to get a plum gig like @spiritland, I get to really bask in it. Being plugged into an outrageous soundsystem, and play your very favourite tunes / hear your mate do the same is 👌👌👌 mixcloud.com/Spiritland/tom…
The set I'll be playing on the 11th won't be ambient, though, it'll be more like this thread
