1. Just in case you don’t understand what’s happening: the NNPC confirmed the return of subsidy, PPPRA pegged petrol price at N212.61, returning the subsidy regime.

Recall “subsidy” was why they crucified Goodluck Jonathan? APC lied to Nigerians, before the 2019 Elections.
2. They promised Subsidy was no more. They even called subsidy “under-recovery” at that time. Festus Keyamo was all over the news, defending their new nomenclature.

He taunted some of us on Twitter, saying that what we call subsidy was in fact, an “under-recovery differential.”
3. Even their new EFCC poster boy, Abdulrasheed Bawa (Malami’s pawn), testified against some persons in court this week.

What’s interesting is; “he testified against individuals & companies allegedly fingered in subsidy scam.” The same subsidy the NNPC PPPPRA just reintroduced!!
4. Now listen: “Subsidy never left us. The APC were only being too clever by half, with their NNPC PPPRA fuel price modulation.”

At just N85/liter; academics, musicians, politicians, civil societies, students, were mobilized against an Ijaw man.
5. The APC understood how to work the system. They understood the sentiments of gullible Nigerians at the time. So they tapped into the moment, & all hell was let loose against Goodluck Jonathan. Something the PDP has failed to double down on, & replicate.
6. The PDP have all the arsenal: #EndSARS, fuel price, Labour/Federal Government N30,000 minimum wage saga, ASUU 9 months strike, etc, to unleash on the APC.

How the PDP managed to not seize the moment is beyond my understanding. Perhaps there is something the PDP is missing?
7. Recall Bashir denied the DPR appointment, until the moment of truth? I knew the NNPC were only lying through their noses, when they denied there won't be any increase in fuel price.

Now 5 liters of petrol is ₦1060. How will tomato & pepper grinders in the market afford this?
8. APC made sure the common staple food, Rice, became a rich man’s food in Nigeria.

Mommy Poverty, the wicked Buhari & the satanic APC BMC, just told the poor & struggling, who cannot afford two square meals/day, to become Moseses.

Trek with your legs. This is pure wickedness.
9. The worst is, they are creating a “price regime & monopoly” for Dangote. All the increase in petrol price, is targeted at enriching themselves, & the Nigerian business overlord.

NNPC, PPPRA, CBN, & Dangote, will milk Nigerians dry, when the Dangote refinery starts refining.

1. Peace is expensive, but you don’t negotiate with Shekau nor bandits. America understands this. Does Nigeria?

Each time you open negotiations with criminals, you invite trouble, I mean big trouble. Sheikh Gumi is playing with fire. Any nation that buys peace is indebted to war
2. You cannot rule out ethnoreligious & political dimensions to this war. But the insecurity in Nigeria is largely fueled by corruption.

A police sergeant, have his 3 children in a private secondary school or a private university. Plus, he is building a duplex in the city.
3. Police officers pay huge bribes to be posted down South, to lucrative states. You cannot tell me police officers don’t know the location of some of these kidnapper’s den.

These kidnappers & bandits are well known by the police authorities. In some cases, they are protected.

1. Australia passed a law forcing Google & Facebook to pay for News Content published on their platforms.

The new law tagged “News Media Bargaining Code,” will force internet giants Google & Facebook, to pay publishers for News Contents published on their platforms.
2. Before now, internet giants enjoyed 100% profits from News published on their platforms.

The downside to this new legislation is; Facebook & Google may pick & choose which News Media outfits to strike deals with.
3. This will largely depend on the market size (the size of the audience of each News outlet).

This will disenfranchise smaller News outfits. Internet giants will simply cherry-pick who to deal with. I expect pushbacks from Facebook & Google, in form of blocking News websites.

1. I have taken a position & it’s completely different from popular opinion.

“I don’t believe the Ex-Niger Delta Agitators, greatnesses like Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, & the rest of my Niger Delta Freedom fighters, had any knowledge of this video.”
2. I have made my findings & it will shock you to know the levels this regime will go, to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians.

WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION: Sheikh Gumi & his northsmen are up to no good. They noticed the Ex-Niger Delta Liberators are being settled by FG,
3. so they came up with banditry & kidnap for ransom. My brothers since left the creeks, they have since moved on to profitable businesses.

Only a handful still engage in bunkering AKA “Kpofire.” This video is not the handiwork of any bonafide Ex-Niger Delta Liberator,

i) I see Gen Z came with bazookas to a knife fight. But what’s the fuzz about? FK and Moe should have known coconut head children, do not take prisoners😅

Now let’s see what’s peculiar to each Generation:

Gen Alpha (21st Century children) are mostly the children of Millennials.
ii) Gen Alphas; were born early in 2010, they are 11 years today. So they are not on the internet. Therefore, we shall spare them the violence.😊

Millennials (Gen Y) were born between 1981 to 1996. Millennials are the children of Baby boomers (those who bastardized Nigeria).
iii) Millennials are the parents of Gen Alphas. They are the last generation that enjoyed Nigeria. The 2go & Blackberry generation. They used the kobo, showered & danced naked in the rain.

Millennials are the Fintech bosses, CEOs of most Social Media Giants & internet companies.

1. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is part of the problem, but to understand how we got here, we have to revisit 2012, before VP Osinbajo of the RCCG entered the scene. You see, the presidency, is not the only problem. Some YOOTS screaming injustice today, are part of the problem...
2. Still in doubt CASHtivist/Anti-intellectuals on El-Rufai’s retainer-ship, are paid hacks?

They embarked on massive campaign of hate & calumny against Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala since 2012. Today, non of them has written any piece against this “WORST Minister of Finance, since 1999.”
3. At least Kemi Adeosun steered us out of Buhari’s gift of 2nd recession, in 2016. She graced our television screens. But this current Minister of Finance; Zainab Ahmed Shamsuma (El-Rufais implant in the presidency), is just hiding & collecting salaries & allowances every month.

1. I think this is time for patriots, those who truly have stakes in the geographical expression, to rise up. We may be divided now, the possibility of full-blown conflict is REAL. But we shouldn’t throw caution to the wind. We should be talking to each other, quenching the fire.
2. Just as the Miyetti Allah is fanning chants of reprisal, men/women of goodwill should be mending fences. The ship of state is sinking. It is not sailing as it is. There is no Captain, no Vice Captain either. Nigeria is on autopilot & no one seems to know where it’s headed.
3. We are all in the dark. The security forces are overwhelmed. There is also the “clear & present threat” of sabotage from within the military, & the police. The Seat of Power, Aso Villa is almost empty nowadays. The First Lady Aisha Buhari is gone to Dubai, six months now.
