I'm on a Cameroonian TV panel right now and this caller from Yaounde is saying that police brutality happens in Nigeria because "Nigeria's population is too much" and "citizens are trying to overpower the police."

In August, I picked up an unlikely viewing habit - BBNaija. I had an old university mate on the show, so maybe that was what got me interested. I wanted Cross to win is my excuse, and I’m sticking to it...
Anyway as I watched the show and got into it, I realised that it wasn’t actually entertainment - it was a giant marketing machine, and the housemates were the fuel. The Abeg app hit 500,000 downloads pretty much off BBN adverts alone.
I wanted to write something about it so I made some calls to a few former colleagues in the IMC space. I wanted to know what numbers the show did in terms of revenue. They wouldn’t tell me, but I was instead told what the show *spent.* Official figures:

As you people have lost the intellectual argument completely and have gone full ad hominem, and you've gone to tweet screenshots of this tweet (as if I'll ever delete it), let me even help you quote it here.

If you like develop toothache, problem ti e ni yen.
Arewa culture is objectively one of the worst on the entire planet. There are real metrics that can be used to measure this including HDI indices, poverty rate, maternal/childhood mortality, paedophilia (child marriage), terrorism and genocide.

It even still has POLIO.
So if I describe it as an abhorrent culture that needs to be replaced by something fit for humans, I am once again speaking factually.

If you don't like the facts as usual, the problem is 100% your own. I'm not here to make you like me. It adds nothing to me.

NASCO has responded and I'm rubbing my hands already because I will enjoy taking this apart inside 10 minutes flat!

Thread!
The statement quotes the UNSC Resolution SC/9172 dated 15/11/2007, claiming that it "totally exonerates Ahmed Nasreddin and his business of all false allegations."
Please find the link to the UN Resolution here
un.org/press/en/2007/…

Please show me where Ahmed Nasreddin is "exonerated" here. This resolution merely confirms that he has been removed from the list because the US has removed him from its list (which is what the article said).

Being a reactionary is one of the worst fates to befall a human being. Reactionaries are generally unsuccessful and unhappy.

You never take positive initiative to work to a goal, but you always fight against something/someone else. Your life is about reacting.

Very sad.
Progressive people get shit done. They move fast and break stuff. They are overachievers. They change the rules and move humanity forward.

Reactionaries just sit and watch them, waiting for an opportunity to crow and respond. That's all they do.
When my dad retired a full 15 years before retirement age and took a risk by becoming a small scale real estate developer, his reactionary friends in the civil service mocked him and found it funny that Kunle thought he was gonna be a bigshot.

Feeding Nigeria’s Exploding Population - A Fixable Problem

In February 1989, General Ibrahim Babangida’s administration commenced the Export Prohibition Act, 1989. Under the terms of this Act, yam, cassava, rice, maize and beans were forbidden from being exported out of Nigeria.
The government at the time believed that food was expensive because it was being exported by middlemen looking for USD income over naira. Closing the doors to export would supposedly force them to sell to Nigerians, making the commodities more accessible and cheaper.
In hindsight, it achieved nothing and became a nasty legal surprise to future exporters, as former Agriculture Minister Audu Ogbeh found out while trying to launch a yam export initiative in 2016. independent.ng/audu-ogbeh-rot…

In an Uber with a few minutes to kill, so I'll do a thread about Nigerian politics and why "3rd Force" is a chimera.

The APC is 7 years old (formed in 2014) and PDP is 23 years old (formed in 1998), right?

WRONG. They are both approaching 60 years old. Here's how.
The first generation of electoral politics in post-colonial Nigeria was dominated by Tafawa Balewa's Northern People's Congress (NPC), Awolowo's Action Group (AG), M.I. Okpara's United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA) and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC).
These were all regional parties whose open and stated mission was to protect the interests of the 3 major ethnotribal political groups in Nigeria - Northern, Southwestern and Southeastern.

As a result, these parties had very strong regional structures and support bases.
