This is both propaganda and a dark lie told in daylight.

Let's review the points one by one to unmask the truth...!

No. 1: The claim that over 900k nano-businesses, SMEs, and manufacturers have benefited from Tinubu’s Presidential Loan and Grant Scheme is fictitious.

There’s no record to show details of the beneficiaries of the initiative.

A Thread! No. 2: The claim that the government, through the NELFUND, has empowered over 500k students across tertiary institutions in the country is a tale by moonlight. Records to support such a claim don't exist.

EFCC Invited Him, But His Father Took Him to the President - A Tale Of The Privileged Okoya Son and The Powerless EFCC!

A Thread! Image

Pastor Paul Adeferasin and His History of “Gutter Acts”

Today, he pulled a gun on an admiring car-spotter. Sometime ago, he fought on Lagos’ craze street. In both acts, he reduced to a senior Agbero, a persona that denigrates the “righteous man” he claims to be.

A Thread! Image Paul Adefarasin, the 62-year-old macho man, isn’t only popular for hosting Nigeria’s biggest religious show, the “Experience” and “playing” the shepherd role for a certain urban, classist religious centre,House on the Rock.”

His fame lives on the dark side of Lagos streets, too.

How Rabiu KwanKwaso Sold Off His Opposition Mantle to Tinubu.

Not that he merited to be regarded as “useful opposition,” judging by his history and appeal as a “political chameleon,” he still traded off his tattering opposition mantle for some bounty.

A Thread! Image
Image
The past month saw awful events, particularly the messy lovers’ fight between Akpabio and Natasha, which distracted legislators from discharging their legislative duties, and Tinubu’s abuse of the Nigerian Constitution by declaring a State of Emergency in Rivers state.

Lessons from The Failed Scam Recall on Senator Natasha We Must Not Ignore.

What Went Wrong With Nigerian Churches?

I have watched this video by Pastor David Ogbueli👇 for the third time, and I’m piqued to go for the fourth.

Each round spurred a new, different feeling or intensified the previous. I couldn’t help thinking, ‘What happened to…? the church in Nigeria.

When did the church become a money-making venture earning more than a Fortune 500 company?

When did the gospel become so monetized that it now creates generational wealth?

And, ultimately, what happened to ‘fellowship of brotherhood’?

The Cartel of Tribal ‘Poli-Tricks’ in Lagos and Their Victims - Jimi Agbaje, Funsho Williams, GRV!

A Thread! Image

Tinubu Awards ‘GCON’ to India Prime Minister - Is This Right?

India’s PM, Shri Narendra Modi touched down Nigeria, last night.

The fanfare that Tinubu’s govt held to celebrate his visit was too loud to be deserving.

It’s as though Tinubu’s govt were so starved of… Image validation from global leaders that they had to drum echoes of joy because the Indian agreed to visit.

If not, why would the entire Indian community in Nigeria empty their residences, across Nigeria, and come to Abuja to welcome Mordi?

Why would Aso Rock pack themselves at…

The NNPC and The Evil Called ‘Fuel Importation.’

The waste on imported petrol is mindless. The cost…

Pastor Adeboye’s Claim That Prayer Saved the Naira: The Facts vs The Lies.

I will refrain from directing this piece to the person of Pastor Adeboye. I respect him, as a member of the RCCG.

Rather, I will give facts that will knock off his cant and it may be brutal. As he did a few months ago, Daddy GO may have spoken under a ‘strange anointing’ when he said that prayers stoped the Naira from hitting N10k.

It’s either he’s intentionally ignorant of the factors that caused and cause naira depreciation, or his bias for Tinubu

Ahead of 2027, do not underestimate his👇 capacity to do damage…!

Peter Obi’s Comment on ‘Vigil, Religion and Politics’- Why The Attacks?

The proof is in the tirade of reactions that greeted… Image his seemingly troublesome comments.
