I just realised that so many people are not aware that Chief Chimamanda Adichie is married AND has a child? Her husband is Dr. Ivara Esege, a Nigerian British-American doctor, AND most, if not all her books, are dedicated to him. 💖 Image
Chimamanda dotting on her daughter. Heard she prefers speaking to her in Igbo. 💖😍
More pictures of Chimamanda and her husband. 💖😍 ImageImageImageImage

Stripping VIPs & OGs of the blue tags could be Elon Musk's worst Twitter mistake, yet. He's demystified Twitter & shattered many people's allure of the app. That move felt like he opened the door & shoved people out.

This is why @jack Dorsey's timed launch of Bluesky is genius. ImageImage
The real masterstroke from @jack is that people can only sign up on the Bluesky app with an invite code from an existing user!

Claim is they're beta-testing but this has created a feeling of scarcity & urgency amongst folks. Everyone is searching for invites or even sellers NOW! Image
In the US, a one-use only Bluesky app invite sells for ±$10, while Nigerians are selling between ₦2k & ₦5k.

I probably would not have downloaded the app by now, if it were freely accessible. Like many others, I might have waited a bit for it to catch on, but now, @jack ImageImage

The next entry after Tinubu's, on the @TIME 100 influential people is the Ukrainian First Lady. Her citation was contributed by Pres Joe Biden's wife, Jill, who also nominated her to Time. Same goes for Lionel Messi, nominated by Roger Federer & >95% of other honorees in my view.
Who nominated Tinubu?

Who endorsed and recommended him to Time?

Who wrote Tinubu's citation?

If your guess is like mine: "what money cannot do, more money can do it", then, you'll just understand that like several award platforms, this entry for the Time is just a paid PR job.
I suspect someone in APC's team wrote the citation, though heavily edited for measured credence & balance by @astharajvanshi.

From the profiles of other influential persons under Time's spotlight this yr, you get a sense of power used well but what do you really get from BAT's?

Anyone that reads that @TIME 100 most influential people article on Tinubu will know it is simply a paid PR job, but instead of polishing BAT'S image, Time just endorsed him as the face of corruption in Nigeria.

The writer's words were unflattering, tentative & uninspiring.
Examples: "fraught election and by a slim margin" "It’s my turn,” "longtime political power broker" etc.

However, for muting the widespread criticism of forfeiture of drug-related funds against Tinubu, Times shows they lack editorial sovereignty.

In all, the feature is useless.

CHARLES ANIAGOLU: do you support calls for LIVE-streaming of Election Court proceedings?

PROF PETER UMEADI: It's a fallacy & a distraction. Most educated Nigerians don't understand court trials. —(Fmr Anambra Chief Judge & 2023 APGA Pres Candidate)

Respectfully Sir, I disagree.
As Charles aptly pointed out to Prof, I agree the circumstances today are different from the past. This is a momentous time in our history & the Bench should respond creatively and courageously.

There's nothing in our laws that explicitly disallows televising court proceedings.
I always like to reference the Oscar Pistorious case in SA where the Supreme Court, knowing how sensitive the murder case against the Olympian Paralympic was, approved live cameras to be placed at unobstructive areas to capture the blow by blow activities within the court room. ImageImageImage

Political desperados really want Igbos & Yorubas to be at loggerheads. They know that if there's unity, Nigeria prospers.

Anyway, they doctored Chief Iwuanyanwu's speech at Soludo's one year anniversary event. SHAME!

Watch the original & unedited video.
Here's the poorly edited video they did.

Even if we're to go by this their shoddily edited job, any intelligent person would still understand the exact meaning being conveyed.

1. Igbos and Yorubas are cool.
2. The attackers are political thugs.

Finish.

Why do I say so?

Because it is illogical to move from:
- Yorubas and Igbos are cool, to
- All Yorubas are thugs.

What the blockhead editor succeeded in doing, was to insert what is known as GAPPING in language construction, without even losing the essence of what was said. 🤣

Yesterday, Labour Party stalwarts fulfilled the conditions for @chude_'s bail. He's now been released💃. Glad to learn you also used your advocacy to help.

To birth the Nigeria of our dreams, we must each function at our best areas. Rufai, David & all obidients are examples.
You're a seasoned activist, a brave one too who's gained quite some experiential knowledge in the hands of the security agencies.

I think we need your continued spotlight and activism (not like Sega's), on them.

The people will celebrate you; and who knows what comes next? 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷
I write this advisedly given that I've seen some of your tweets that needlessly impugned Peter Obi.

I think you were playing the wrong wing before.

PETER OBI is like the beacon; we're all doing our best to get it right.

Find your place now!
STOP THE PROPAGANDA!
It's not late!
