Please take a listen to the conversation of these Americans. They graduated from Nigerian universities 35 years ago (1988). How did we get here? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Just lost my wife of 18 years, Mrs Jemi Akunna nee Okorosobo. She was my best friend & classmate at the Sociology dept, Unilorin. May God rest my baby's soul. Amen.
Here is Umar Abdulmutallab. At 23, he attempted to detonate a plane with 289 people on board. He's serving 4 life sentences + 50 yrs behind bars. Left for PMB, Umar wld have become a minister on the ground that "na small pickin dey worry am".
A tale of two "loyal" Vice Presidents. At the risk of his immediate pol career, US VP Mike Pence tells his boss point blank: "I'm sorry, my loyalty is to the constitution, not you". Our own dear Pastor would have gladly told PMB, "Anything you want, I'll do!"
This is Linus Okorie, LP candidate for Ebonyi south sen. district. Smiling Ebonyi tyrant, David Umahi (R) used state power to try to stop this arch-rival. Happily, Okorie has just turned Umahi's senatorial dreams into a nightmare. Huge congratulations Senator-elect Linus Okorie!
Sept 17, '06: 12 NA officers died in a Dornier crash. Obj, who had just landed in Singapore for an IMF meeting, immediately jumped on his plane for a 24,000 km return trip; ordered 3 days of nat mourning, & cancelled a scheduled nat festival of arts.
45 days after Justice Mary Odili retired, CJN Tanko Muhammed resigned on "health grounds." Truth is, Muhammed stopped functioning as CJN ages ago. The Villa kept him to prevent Justice Mary Odili (of Dot Nation) from serving as Ag. CJN, even for a day!
Nicolas is the son of Dr. Chris Ajagu. They're from Nimo in Anambra State. A top FB exec, heโs married to Meena, niece to US VP-elect Kamala Harris. Beholdย Kamala Harris with her niece. In her arms is Amara, a product of the union. So, we'll have the US VP as ogor!ย Igbo kwenu!

We began as coursemates at Unilorin. On Feb. 9, '02, we signed the dotted lines. Exactly a yr today, you left. Shalom, Precious, Victor, Josh & I miss you. We thank fam & friends for being awesome. Comforted that you're with the Lord Jesus. Rest on, Jemi baby. Love you forever.
President Buhari's convoy under attack in Katsina. Kuje prison under attack in Abuja. Same day. About same timeย And some persons are promising to build on Buhari's legacies. Chukwu aju!
This is Ben Enwonwu, MBE, 1st Prof. of Fine Arts, OAU. Arguably d greatest black artist, Anambra-born Enwonwu sculpted "Sango" used in NEPA logo. In '18, his painting "Tutu" fetched ยฃ1.2m. Last yr, another work he completed in '71 called "Christine" fetched ยฃ1.1m. He died '94.
Between 2006 and 2023, the money these three men spent trying to be president exceeded the combined annual budgets of Togo and Benin Republic. May God deliver Rivers State from this familiar spirit. Wike. Stage 4 cancer.
Listen to Sen. Ali Ndume who wears the shoes that pinch: You can't keep innocent citizens in IDP camps & release captured terrorists, give them start-up funds, & release them into the same society they destroyed.
Baby, exactly 19 yrs ago, we signed the dotted lines, vowing to be man & wife "till death do us part". Well, on Aug.12, 2020, you went to be with the Lord.ย We miss you tons, but are confident that the Lord Jesus will reunite us some day. Rest on. Love you always.
Shagari was Fulani. He was Prez for 4 solid years. We weren't divided. UMYA was Fulani. He was Prez for 3 years. Nigerians lived in harmony. PMB has been Prez for less than 5 years. He's turned other Nigerians against the Fulani. Anyway, whoever digs a pit...

General Buhari appears cool with running an Abuja-Daura Presidency. Down South, these "Generals" - Nnamdi Kanu & Sunday Igboho- run things. That's the way it is.
This guy's name "was" Yinusa. He came to catch a feeling of what it is like to fly abroad. Gaskiya, very few people normal for we country! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
26 girls kidnapped in PMB's state. He said nothing. Did nothing. Relations raised N6.6m to secure their release. And you're expecting Baba to talk on your matter? You go taya.
Had Dr. Onyema Ogbuagu stayed back to teach in 9ja, he certainly would haveย been among those striking ASUU members who've not been paid since July. Igbo kwenu!
Dr. Onyema Eberechukwu Ogbuagu, an Igbo man is one of the brains behind the new Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
He graduated from Uni of Calabar College of Medicine in 2003.
Dr. Ogbuagu, is Infectious Disease, Internal Medicine Specialist.
Igbo Excellence!
3ce, the

asked PMB to fire these men for incompetence. 3ce, PMB snubbed them. Now, he wants the same senators he gave the middle finger to confirm these 4 disasters as ambassadors.ย Will our senators be that stupid?
One man stole millions of USD & bought govs @ Eagle Square & heads of security agencies. He's bought the judiciary. That's why they're asking us to go to court. Elsewhere, when courts are mentioned, people say "what do you want?" Here, they're boasting with the courts. - ObiDatti
A tale of 2 Nigerians. (L) is ICC Prez & UniCAL graduate Chile Eboe-Osuji. 2nd is FCT CJ, ABU graduateย & PMB's nomineeย for an ICC slot, Ishaq Usman Bello, who polled 5 /110 votes! Had Osuji remained in 9ja, he probably wldnt have been FCT CJ. Poor quota system! It failed Bello.
Behold artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby. In '18, her painting "Bush Babies" fetched a whopping $3.3m (about N1.4b) making it d most expensive 9ja work, displacing Ben Enwonwu's "Tutu" which fetched $1.6m. Her mum is ex-Info Min, Late Prof Dora Akunyili. Igbo kwenu!

A retired DIG once told me they're taught that, when confused about which charge to press, they choose armed robbery. That only 2 elements are required: witness & weapon, which they can easily procure. Every detective inย
@PoliceNG
knows this by heart.
This sabi-sabi man told PMB that linking SIM cards with NIMC 'll stop terrorism & kidnapping. Without involving NCC, he slams a deadline which has gone up in flames. 4gets that BH use satellite phones, & kidnappers, their victims' phones. No be by bia-bia. Square peg. Round hole.
80,000 tonnes? Impossible! A 30-ton truckload of soybeans is 600 bags. 80k tonnes = 2,700 trucks or 48m bags. Each resident of Kad St wld need to loot least 5 bags to hit 48m bags!
80,000 tonnes of chemically treated soybeans carted away at the West African Cotton Company warehouse at Industrial layout, Kakuri, Kaduna on Saturday before security intervened. The management warns the beans is poisonous in humans.
Still sleepy. Spent the whole night queueing to buy petrol, having bought earlier in the day @ N600/litre. Reachedย the pump at past1am to discover it was N250/litre! Meanwhile, the man who doubles as Hon. Min. of Petroleum Resources has jetted to Belgium!
Nigerian politicians used to hire ballot boxes-snatching thugs. They stepped up to bribing INEC officers. They've now graduated to "hiring" judges. 5 persons now determine who becomes Governor. 7 persons determine who is president of 200m people! We have to stop this nonsense!
Timing, they say, is everything. It is not for nothing she bears Ireti (Yoruba for hope). She has made several unsuccessful attempts to come to the red chamber.
This time around, she appears set to stop Phillip Aduda. The audacity of Ireti!
As if the death of Army Chiefย Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru & other officers isn't tragic enough, C-in-C Buhari refused to attend their burial. Lesson 101: Die for Nigeria, die in vain.
Don't be deceived by this man's fine boy looks. He's worse than what the Yoruba callย paramแปlแบน. A yr hasย 52 weeks. Isa Patanmi wakes up & threatens to, in 2 weeks, disconnect all SIM cards not linked to NIN. He wants pple to flood NIMC offices & contract COVID-19!

The Fraud calling Eedris "hustler" hustled his way thru the late Gani Fawehinmi; "converted" clients' money; disappered with NPF case files; forged AGF fiat; blackmailed old society ladies & lawyers to get briefs; becoming SAN by artifice. Who is the hustler here?
In the 2000s, the Minister was a man in his 20s; next year he will be 50. Time has passed, and people and their opinions change"- Garba Shehu.
Lawrence Anini was 27 when he was executed. We might as well have forgiven him. Hogwash!
Oct '67, Col Murtala Muhammed's 2 Div was stranded in Asaba after retreating Biafran troops cut the Niger Bridge. Frustrated, Murtala & his 2ic, Maj. Ibrahim Taiwo rounded up 1000s of Asaba men & shot em dead. 13 Feb '76, Murtala & Taiwo were assassinated. Live by the sword...
Based on a petition by a group,ย the CCT onย Jan 14, 2019, began the trial of CJN Onnoghen. 12 days later, PMB replaced him with Tanko Moh'd. CJN Moh'd is being accused of stealing SC funds. CCT is snoring. PMB is asleep. A tale of 2 nations!
That NA could so easily kill Ikonso & within weeks, arrest his 2IC, show that some powerful forces may actually be protecting Shekau & other key terrorists in the north.
A retired Air Commodore Akin Johnson (pictured here) escaped death by the whiskers after unknown assailants attacked him whilst jogging this morning in Abuja. Nowhere is safe in Nigeria ANYMORE!
A Prof. drives his children from Lagos to Jos. Is kidnapped at a "police checkpoint" in Nasawara; and you say Nigeria isn't racing to become a failed state?
When Bishop Kukah drew attn to d nepotism in PMB's govt, Aso Rock instantly responded with fury. Some even declared fatwa on him. It's been several days since "FG-appointed mediator" literally advised terrorists to vent their anger on Christians. Still waiting for Shekere Garuba
Hold a "Fine Boy" competition today, & it'd be difficult deciding d winner between Keyamo (50) & Pantami (49). Sadly, both are dented. Keyamo stole his client's money & a police case file. Pantami hugged terrorists. Well, that was when they were kids. They've since "repented".
Persons, particularly those from the PMB camp, urging
@GEJonathan
to run again in 2023, don't mean well for the man. Let Jona remain the statesman he is. Happy Sunday!
This is soft-spoken NECO Registrar, Prof. Godswill Obioma. At about 7am May 24, 2021, we spoke on the ongoing Senate probe of N6.5b contracts. Said his predecessors were uncomfortable, but that he wouldn't speak "for now". Last night he was murdered in his Minna house. RIP Prof.
After my GCE in the mid '80s, I worked as a PA to a man of God, near Ilorin. Informing him of people seeking prayers, he'd ask how they came. If it was by bus, he'd ignore me & continue praying. If they came by Benz or Volvo, he'd rush out chanting "alafia Oluwa fun yin!"
Jetting off to London for medicals whilst your doctors are on strike is akin to dashing off to the city to buy Nestle water after poisoning the village stream. Buhari is a pestilence.
In Frame 1 isย Louis Okoye, a Japanese pro baseball player. In Frame 2 is his baby sister, Monica, who plays women's basketball for Japan. Monica helped her team crash 9ja's medal dream at the Tokyo Olympics. Need I add they're Igbo? Igbo kwenu!
A week to the most important Christian holiday, this terrorist handed a 2 - week deadline to Nigerians to get their NIN or lose their SIM cards. We now know it was to deflect attention, & make people suffer in the scorching sun.

PMB & PYO were in the Villa, less than a km away from the Nat mosque & Ecumenical centre, yet refused to attend the funeral prayers & burial of COAS Attahiru & other bright officers who died in active service. They've made the labours of our heroes past be in vain!
This is Kaburu Gaya, an architect & Kano state gov from 1992-93. As chair, Senate INEC cmttee, Gaya submitted the report that recommended e-transmission of election resilts. When the matter came up for voting, the 69-yr-old senator voted against himself!
This is Sabo Nanono, until this afternoon, Agric minister. His first job was with the CBN, in 1972! His major achievement in office was approving N30m to "build a mosque for IDPs". Money that ended up in private pockets!
This is Nestoil CEO, Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi. His Women & Children hospital, Okija is d best in d SE. Innoson CEO is from Nnewi. His coy employs 1000s of persons. One senile crook, whose only investment in his town is a police command, claims "Ndigbo don't love themselves".

So, Halilu's senior in NASDRA, Dr. Francis Chizea Dubem, isn't fit to be DG as he's from Delta, and most importantly unlike Halilu, not related to PMB's Chief of Staff?
When "bloody civilian" El-Rufai led 19 other "bloody civilians" to stage a coup against fellow "bloody civilian" Buni, they forgot that Buni is married to Gumsu, daughter of one of 9ja's dreaded coup specialists, Sani Abacha. We now know who is laughing last- and best!

In the '50s thru d early '70s, most cars had their fuel tank lids on the booth. Today, European & American cars have theirs on the passenger side. Japanese, on the driver side. Imagine this fuel attendant's dilemma when I pulled up to fill up a '74 Benz.
March 2018, ex-defence minister Gen. TY Danjuma tasked Nigerians to defend selves. Feb 2021, defence minister Genย Bashir Magashi advised us to defend selves. Thank you Isa Pantami for helping us understand why. Terrorist in power!
