In the early 00s, Amani Tidjani was a known cross-border car bandit.
He specializes in snatching exotic cars from Nigeria with his gangs, take them to Cotonou, repaint & sell to Nigerians.
He was feared, thriving, was unstoppable across West Africa until his boys allegedly
attacked a convoy that had President Olusegun Obasanjo's relatives in it.
Baba Iyabo closed down Seme-border and asked President Mathieu Kerekou to produce Tidjani. Note this notorious criminal was actually from Niger.
Kerekou was still doing erm erm erm when OBJ sent
Nigerian security forces to Cotonou in search of Tidjani.
I recall seeing lots of Nigerian security forces in Dantokpa market on a very windy Monday morning. I saw them with my eyes, them no gist me. That was when Kerekou's govt understood Baba Iyabo wasn't playing.
In less than a wk or there about, Tidjani was arrested in Mali, extradited to Benin republic and handed over to the federal government of Nigeria.
Baba reached an agreement with Kerekou's govt after so much "Baba ejor" from influential people from Cotonou. Border was reopened.
I think Tidjani later died in Kirikiri sometime around 2013/2014. This man had fields in Cotonou, Mali, Niger and many other West African countries where stolen cars are repainted and sold at ridiculously cheap rates. Emphasis on fields and not warehouse!!
Why I am sharing this story is because I know the capability of FG. If they are interested in apprehending the terrorists that escaped from Kuje prison in 72hrs, they know what to do. Even if they hide under Yokozuna's anus. But like Danjuma told us, "they collude".
Whatever you do, don't enable this incompetent govt by voting any of those Siamese twins next year. "My self & Jagaban are contemporaries " - Atiku.
Bobo Chicago has been flying to France to change shimi despite owning a private hospital inside a govt hospital premises.
Atiku has been touring Europe doing breakfast in Monaco, summer body in Milan & displaying new bumshort for us every 4-market days. He can't unify even his party, but wants to unify a deeply divided Nigeria. Bros/sis, make yourself check am. E make sense?
Do some introspection & make the right choice. 🤞🏿#NigeriansLoKan

How is this man ever going to remain the same again? Men go through shit men. 30% partenity fraud in Nigeria is no jokes. Many Nigerian fathers are fathering kids who are not theirs. I know at least two persons, and i am 100% sure they have absolutely no idea.
I saw things when I was running cab business. God epp us. 😭
Dear @inecnigeria, Something is not adding up. Borno is ravaged by so much insecurity. As at last year, only 4 local govt had access to mobile network. How did Borno move from 6328 to 501,347 in space of 10months? The fact that it's online registrations makes it unbelievable!!
States that struggled to register candidates for WAEC are doing unbelievable numbers. How?? Remember the issues of electronic transfer of election results was vehemently opposed last year because of poor network in these states, how come they have network for online registration?
Something fishy is happening at @inecnigeria. Meanwhile, Nigerians are so focused on tearing Peter Obi apart for simply traveling to Egypt to study how they are generating 58,000MW with a population of 100m, while Nigeria with a population of over 120m is struggling with 3800MW.
Again, I have been reliably informed by my source(s) that the reason there seems to be an unholy marriage b/w PDP/APC on Peter Obi is coz they don't want their candidates scrutinized.
They want Obidents to be on the defensive till election day that's why
they keep throwing all kinds of shit at Peter Obi. Many influencers have been contacted for this singular job. Some are masquerading as objective observers, while some are pretending to be in support of PO today and Gaslighting y'all with Peter Obi supporters are rude tomorrow.
Some subtly criticize their candidates once in a while to make you feel they are with you, but they aren't. Y'all should stay woke going forward.
Have you seen Bola Ahmed Tinubu talking about how he intends to fix many of the issues bothering Nigeria? Does it not surprise you
One winning communication strategy is to always develop positive relationships with people. Below are some tips:
Speak to people: There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
Smile at people: It takes 72 muscles to frown, but only 14 to smile.
Call people by name: The sweetest music to anyone’s ears is the sound of their own name used properly and positively.
Be friendly and helpful: To make a friend, you have to be a friend.
Be cordial: Speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.
Be genuinely interested in people: You can find things to like in almost anybody if you try. Be generous with praise, and cautious with criticism. Be considerate of the feelings of others.
There are usually three sides to a controversy: yours, the other person’s, & the truth.
NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE.
On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....
Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message
from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.
Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up.
He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no. Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired.
