1. YES! Tinubu’s APC won the Lagos elections immediately after they slaughtered the children at the #EndSARS Lekki Tollgate

We all aware of that. We have no short memories. You are hyperventilating on issues, when you constantly remind us; “Twitter polls & opinions don’t count.”
2. I am safely tucked away 6612 miles from Nigeria. Personally?, I have nothing to lose if Nigeria become another Afghanistan or Venezuela. I am not your disappointing daughter.

Avarice is not in my DNA, self-censorship is. I have all that I need to survive.
3. What we don’t need is all the reverse psychology. If you want to campaign for Tinubu, by all means, do it with your chest. Stop testing the waters.

After all, some of the folks who actively campaigned for Bubu in 2015, are now football pundits & relationship experts.
4. You can campaign for Tinubu, cash out, join them on perspire Twitter. Allow some of us still of good conscience, to continue with the struggle. One thing I can assure you is this; “history will remember.”

We still talk about 60s & 70s Nigeria, like it all happened yesterday.
5. So, we will pass on 2015-2023 to our children. They’ll pass it on to their children

2023 elections is a watershed. Nigerians will have to choose to either join Rwanda & Ghana among the committee of developing nations, or continue to be the menagerie of wild beasts its become.

1. Because of 33K, NYSC DG is advocating for the children to be sent to Sambisa abattoir, to be slaughtered.

You hate the fact that ordinary Nigerians are praising Seyi Makinde on Twitter everyday? You think we’ve reduced governance to tokenism, & we don’t know any better?
2. Think again!! Delta is an oil rich state, but Okowa increased tuition in 2016. El-Rufai sacked workers, increased tuition by over 500%. 75% of students may drop out of school, in kaduna.

Education is actually under attack in the North.
3. Add the exorbitant tuition, tell me, “what’s the fate of eduction in the north?”

Listen, “you don’t know more than some of us do. For you to sit comfortably in your homes & accuse us of praise singing?, you don’t know any better.”

1. I’ve been debating with myself on wether I should share this publicly: I hope this inspires someone out there.

I’ve been working towards this moment my entire life, my mom & I went through real poverty when I was growing up. ImageImageImageImage
2. I remember there were nights when there simply just wasn’t any food left. I’d hear her crying herself to sleep sometimes, & she’d put her head on the pillow bcos she thought I wudn’t hear anything

Ever since I was a little kid, I made it a point that I would take care of her.
3. At the end of last year, I asked her to come stay with me in Joburg for “Covid Reasons”, but really I just wanted time to build & surprise her with a new house.

On Mother’s day a few weeks ago, she came back & I welcomed her to her new home & I invited her close friends.

1. An interesting thing will happen in Isreal today. “Tumultuous” is the word that describes Israeli politics for some years now. So there’s been no National budget in Isreal in 2 years.
2. Israeli opposition leaders have until midnight Wednesday (today), to agree on modalities, & form a coalition government that would end Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year spell, as Prime Minister.
3. Isreal’s electoral laws says; “opposition leaders; Yair Lapid & Naftali Bennett, only have 28 days to forge a mandatory majority, by allying with rival parties.” That deadline ends at midnight, today. Image

1. Equating the SE IPOB situation to the Boko Haram menace in the NE, is not only disingenuous, but mischievous. Both ideologies are different.

While the IPOB is seeking Biafra (self-determination) through a referendum, the Boko Haram are terrorists against “western education.”
2. At the foundation of IPOB’s ideology, you will find highly educated men. Nnamdi Kanu is a highly literate man.

Temperamental (who wouldn’t be? Nigeria can only make you go crazy), but he has proven himself smart. Smarter than the tourist Czar flying around the world.
3. Nigerians understand that no Igboman would strap a bomb around his waist, & kill himself like a chicken. Even the uneducated Igboman want to make some money, buy lands, build houses, travel the world.

The uneducated NEterner is a time bomb ticking. He does not know any better

1. My roots is Bonny Island in Rivers State, but I must speak for all sides. I am not one of your politically correct tweeps.

The Buhari regime declared war on Igbos since 2015, with his infamous 97% vs 5%. If the Nigerian Army isn’t killing the #IPOB who’re predominantly Igbos,
2. the police is mounting road blocks at every km in South Eastern Nigeria. You would think the South East is at war. Buhari must be cautioned!

These gory events in Owerri Imo state, is not only barbaric, it’s insane. They are crimes against humanity taken too far, & unchecked.
3. The illegitimacy of Hope Uzodinma, is part of the problem. The late Abba Kyari’s presidency, handed a sore loser who came 4th in an election, the 1st position. Then Tanko’s Supreme Court, ratified that process.

But every government must be elected by an overwhelming majority.

1. The Assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar is an all too familiar story.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Originally a monarchy, it became a Republic at the time of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, popularly called “Tarquin the Proud,” (the legendary seventh & final king of Rome).
2. Romans have kept a very traumatic, almost mythical memory period, as well as a deep projection of every form of monarchy.

Very attached to the notion of “Libertas,” Romans have found new heroes like “Lucius Cincinnatus,”
3. the citizen who was said to have left his field to lead the armies & save his homeland from a great peril.

Endowed with extraordinary along with unlimited powers of a dictatorship, Lucius is said to have defeated the enemies of Rome, then given back his powers to the senate,
