This incessant ASUU strike in Nigeria would have been solved and forgotten years ago if all public officials from counselors all the way up to the president were mandated to send their children to public schools in Nigeria!

#EndASUUStrike!

We are not yet angry enough to demand for the actual solution to this madness and that is why we will continue shouting #EndASUUStrike almost every year. We need to get to the stage of telling them If they cannot send their children to public schools then they have absolutely no

business holding public office. We don't care about your wealth or not before entering govt. But if you're coming in, then be rest assured that your kids will be going to the same school as those of mama nkechi selling akamu on the streets.

How the US and Belgium assassinated Patrice Lumumba; Congo's first prime minister.

A thread!

Few days ago, it made headlines across the world that Belgium had returned the remains (a golden tooth) of assassinated former Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba to his family.

And although symbolic, it is once again another testament to the brutal legacy of colonialism on Africa.

Patrice Lumumba, the first legally elected prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), was assassinated 61 years ago on 17 January 1961. This heinous crime was a culmination of two inter-related assassination plots by American and Belgian governments, which used
