In the light of situations like those typified by the tweet below, how exactly do we get Nigeria's government to work *for* the people as against antagonise and impede them?
How do we properly tackle hunger and creeping or acute poverty which are pretty much the biggest issues facing most Nigerians? How do we make the health sector less of a disaster zone than it is?
Hi @elonmusk, here are some cut-and-dried cases of @USAIDNigeria corruption and money laundering you may want to look into.
On January 16, 2025, just 4 days before @realDonaldTrump's inauguration, USAID made a $3.3m payment to a vendor in Nigeria called DAI Global LLC.
I looked into the payment history and saw that between August 2020 and January 2025, at least $48 million of US taxpayers' money supposedly invested in Nigeria went to DAI Globall LLC, registered in Bethesda, Maryland.
So I looked into @DAIGlobal's activities in Nigeria and it turns out to be a run-of-the-mill "Climate NGO" which organises meetings and seminars, and stages photos with politicians, and little else. Yet nearly all of its payments from USAID in Nigeria are labeled "ALL OTHER PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND TECHNICAL SERVICES."
It last published an output in Nigeria in 2020. So what exactly it has reveived 48 MILLION US DOLLARS for over that period is anyone's guess. A USAID money laundering partner? CIA front organisation? State department Nigerian slush fund? Perhaps all 3? Who knows?
But it gets worse.
Since @realDonaldTrump's inauguration on January 20, at least $799,000 of US taxpayers money has been paid by USAID to recipients in Nigeria marked "UNDISCLOSED" or "MISCELLANEOUS."
At least $446,000 of these payments to "UNDISCLOSED" recipients in Nigeria was sent across 8 payments between January 29 and January 30. Meanwhile, you will remember that the US president ordered USAID to halt all payments on January 28.
@USAIDNigeria disobeyed a DIRECT INSTRUCTION from the US president and spent the next 24 hours after the instruction furiously shelling out half a million dollars of US taxpayers money to recipients in Nigeria marked "UNDISCLOSED."
For weeks, you have been seeing these sponsored posts across Facebook and Instagram impersonating @vanguardngrnews and directing viewers to a scam website called "Nearest Edge."
Today, we get to uncover the masquerade behind Nearest Edge and see who exactly this character is.
First, a recap for those who may not be familiar with what has been happening.
Basically a scammer somewhere figured out that they could fraudulently leverage my face and credibility to promote a scam platform to relieve people of their money. westafricaweekly.com/beware-scammer…
A separate investigation by @thraets revealed that the same scam was pulled across Africa, using the names and images of other well known African journalists including @daddyhope, @RosebellK, @thenanaaba, @hugoribatika, @hughes_onair, and @MohaJichoPevu
If you or anyone you know is in the process of preparing for one of these exams, there is a tool you should know about that provides up-to-date past questions and a best-in-class exam preparation framework.
offers a bespoke computer based testing system that adapts to each individual student's needs, allowing everyone to learn at their own pace.
This functionality allows students to rapidly isolate and identify areas of weakness, and track their progress.Educare.school
It also plugs seamlessly into the classroom, giving teachers the ability to tailor lesson plans for different students using the same time and effort as a general (less effective) teaching and testing period.

Remember the concluding part of this story last year? Remember how it was strongly hinted to you that your big mouth is your worst disability in life?
Well, here is another episode of the "Iyin Aboyeji cannot stop shooting himself in the foot with his mouth" show. t.co/tvfukSPax6
I actually pursued the Flutterwave SEC FOIA. Unlike you, I understand the strategic value of silence.
@onyekanwelue prevailed on me to ignore you and let everything go, which I have done for 10 months of 2023 so far.
But you HAD to open that big gob didn't you, Iyin?
Here is why if you value your life and everything you have, you should never, ever get in my way.
I have 300+ pages of SEC documents showing that you, GB and Adeleke were investigated for securities fraud and defrauding Flutterwave investors in 2017.
You can see @adedoyinjai? That's another classmate.
I have nothing to show for myself except tweets? Well here are some things I've been achieving in life since I was 12 years old in 2003.
Unlike you criminals, I have nothing to conceal or hide from.
The fact that you personally accomplished nothing with your life except "tweets" is entirely your individual problem. We can't all be failures like you.
