Over 260 of the world's Billionaires in 2023 are of Jewish origin. This includes Zuckerberg, Ellison of Oracle, Bloomberg, the two founders of Google, Dell etc. You can draw a straight line from the support Israel receives in the West to the influence all that money can buy. These Billionaires of Jewish origin are there in the tech industry, in the banking/financial industry, in entertainment, in real Estate. They're scattered all over the Western world. From France to Canada to the UK to the united States etc. Lots of war chest for one "race."

APC didn't win this year because they did anything spectacular. With the Naira crisis and fuel crisis so close to the election, they were poised to lose. The opposition being splintered into PDP, G-5, NNPP, LP is what made APC victory possible. There was even "allegedly" a cabal in Aso Rock who did everything they could to ensure Tinubu didn't emerge as President.. Buhari was only pressured to show more intense public support for Tinubu towards the tail end of the campaign season. So much of the odd was against Tinubu

The people who protested against the 2012 subsidy removal are some of the most wicked people in this country.

There was a clear roadmap for subsidy removal at a time the economy was good. But selfish elites opposed it. Tunubu, Hijabi sinzu, CSOs, the media. All were complicit There was nationwide consultations on subsidy removal. Several town hall meetings across the country. Nigerians had a say on subsidy and what the money would be used for.

A committee was set up to investigate and indict companies/individuals involved in subsidy fraud.

You pay 400k per term for your child's school fees and the school is located in the posh area of Maitama or Garki. Then your child's school hires teachers living in Nyanya and pays them 50k per month Salary. And you think the quality of education you pay for is worth 400k? Someone was tweeted here that the quality of education your child gets in most of these expensive schools is directly proportional to the salary/welfare of the teachers the school employs.

If your child's teacher earns 50k per month, you're paying for a 50k quality of education

This student loan scheme Tunubu just signed simply means subsidy for Tertiary education will be removed.Anyone that wants to go to school should prepare their 100k (minimum) per session/semester or queue up to obtain Tunubu student loan. Those in charge will make money.NIRSAL 2.0 Taraba state uni for instance already pays school fees per semester (not per session) and I believe others will also adopt this approach to to generate more revenue through school fees alone.

Tunubu is not letting the poor breath. He wants to snatch our breath, our lungs 😭😭

Labour party set a new record in fundraising in the last election sha. Millions of Naira donated by Nigerians home and abroad. The highest ever.

Has there been any breakdown/report of how all that money was spent during the election? For sake of transparency and accountability For a party that brands itself as "the new order" that sought to dismantle structures of criminality, I'd expect LP to act quite unique and different from the traditionally corrupt PDP/APC we've had.

So is there an audit of LP finances during the campaign? Should we expect one?

The best way to justify this subsidy removal is if the FG and various state governments can invest massively into infrastructures for public transportation.This isn't just about putting big Buses on the road.We need railway tracks connecting states and cities. It is the way to go That trillions of Naira used in paying for subsidy should be mostly diverted towards developing public transportation.

It will be good to see an intracity tram/train connecting Nyanya to a major station in the city and going all the way to Kubwa/Gwarinpa axis. Affordable too

A good day to remind everyone that there are dozens of "agencies" in Nigeria that recruits and manages domestic helps, including child labourers

They charge as high as N100k/per month from clients and pay as little as 10k/per month to the family of the house helps. It is SLAVERY Lots of boys and girls being deceived into this scheme. Their poor parents are promised heaven and earth to release their kids to these sweet-talking agents. And the rest is a sordid tale. Then they get subjected to some form of modern slavery in their hosts' homes.

They're gatekeeping a Guinness World Record that has not been officially recognised. I love Nigerians Btw, Hilda has achieved way more than she imagined she would before starting the journey to break that award. She's earned global fame, goodwill, brand endorsement and a whole lot.

Whether GWR recognises her record or not, she's set for life. A bonafide achiever. Happy for her

Goodluck Jonathan was going to remove subsidy, with palliatives and other measures so poor people don't feel the effect so much. We protested.

10 years later (after Buhari has shown us shege),fuel subsidy will be removed with no palliatives or anything. Penny wise, pound foolish I remember Jonathan wanted to provide government buses to cushion the effect on transport costs. That was when railway development became serious.And a couple of other measures.

We protested. Some of the people clapping for Tinubu today at Eagle's square were part of the protest

Buhari's legacy in infrastructure can't be denied. He deserves his full credit there. The only areas where he can be criticised is the collapse of education and healthcare under him, insurgency across the country, hyperinflation, food shortage, Naira collapse, unemployment etc You really can't deny he built railways, bridges, roads here and there. They're all scattered across the country. Kudos to him there.

But the people who are meant to enjoy these infrastructure have died under him more than at any point in our history (minus civil war)

I don't think there is any short-term future for Nigerian opposition if Tinubu decides to run in 2027. Tinubu has surrogates in PDP and LP. They're in his pockets.

Whatever strategy the opposition is playing should be against taking power from APC in 2031 as a more united bloc. And in 2031, there has to be an alliance between the three "key" opposition voices. NNPP with PDP or LP with PDP or LP with NNPP.

And this depends largely on what direction PDP as a party takes. They're still the major opposition based on NUMBERS that don't lie.

After seeing YOU from season 1-4 (a decent series), I have to say that Breaking Bad is the best TV show in the last 3 decades. The character development in Breaking Bad is so unrivalled. Continuity of character and continuity of plot, with some twists here and there.

In YOU, Joe leaves New York to LA and every single character from his time in LA is killed off. Like, a whole new cast

In Buhari's speech at the 2018 NBA conference,he told the audience that "Rule of Law must be subject to the supremacy of the nation’s security and national interest."

And they clapped for him.More than 7,000 lawyers clapped.And you wonder why our judiciary is at an all-time low I wonder what incentive young people have for going to study law as a profession. What are the conversations going on in law schools across the country.

This level of disregard and disrespect has never been witnessed before. Not even Abacha dragged the judiciary to this level

If you follow LP accounts,you'd believe Obi won the election but was rigged out.And they'd provide evidence.

If you follow PDP accounts,you'd believe Atiku won the election but was rigged out.And they'd provide evidence.

If you leave their echo chambers, you see things clearer This is what I really think..The 4 major parties committed various form of electoral malpractice to bolster the changes of their candidate in their strongholds.

These malpractices include suppression of opposition votes, doctoring result sheets, compromising INEC staff etc

Election is over, Akin Alabi has won but he is still forging ahead with this constituency engagement.And he's very consistent with it. By 2027 when it is few months to election and he posts pictures of him engaging his constituency,emergency lovers of Nigeria will cry blood again Some of us who have been following Akin Alabi knows this isn't just for optics for election. He does this almost every month and posts pictures here.

And if you go and interview members of his constituency independently, they will tell you he is representing them well.

To kick PDP out of government,the APC needed an alliance of ACN, CPC and nPDP.And they defeated PDP despite PDP's rigging strategy

8 years later,the PDP wanted to get APC out of govt. And to do that, they divided themselves into NNPP, LP, G5 and PDP.The result is not surprising. Tinubu won with just 8.7 million votes.Combine the votes between Atiku and Peter Obi alone and you'd get 13 million votes. Add Kwankwaso and you have 14.4 million votes.

There is no way on earth that APC would have been able to win if Atiku,Obi, Kwankwaso were in one party

Congratulations to Oga Bola for being elected "President" of Nigeria in a flawed, imperfect election.

The opposition to Bola continues.If you're a "BAT" on my TL,you're free to live between Bola's ass and praise whatever he does.Your choice. I have no issues with you as a person My own issue is with Bola Ahmed Tinubu,who is a public servant-elect and whose actions or inactions affects me.

So please let me do my opposition in peace. If Tinubu is not your father,please face your front.Praise him in peace while I criticise him jejely. The sky is big enough

Was the 2015 elections free, fair and credible? No.
But did the emergence of Buhari reflect the will of Nigerians in 2015? Yes

Elections can be flawed but sometimes the will of the people prevail. It is safe to say the same for 2023 election; especially Senate/House rep election In 2015 we had cases of underage voting, voters suppression in certain areas, attack on collation centers, manipulation of results, ballot snatching etc.

Yet anyone who observed 2015 election will agree that majority of Nigerian really wanted PDP/GEJ gone. We wanted "change."

The biggest winners of this election are LP candidates running for Senate and rep positions

They didn't spend much on campaigns,didn't have to debate their ideas or present a manifesto

They are mostly beneficiaries of "LP top to bottom" voters who didn't even know them at all😁 It was so easy to pick up a form. So cheap. If you managed to win nomination,you just had to go and sleep.

No one needs to know you. No one cares about your competency for the position.

LP logo got you covered. "Top to bottom." Anyway, I hope they'd all be a breath of fresh air

This is my own personal projection on how the election will pan out over the weekend in various states.

I'd go through each state in each geopolitical zone and predict who'd come first,second,third.

This is my personal poll,influenced by current political dynamics in each state Image Other factors (influencing said dynamic) will be historical voting patterns, bias for/against the 4 major candidates and the political gatekeepers pulling strings.

In the case where I am not sure, I'd leave it blank or just express my confusion. It is okay to disagree please
