Can't get it out of my head that Europe cried about a 'migrant crisis' in 2015 against 1.4m refugees fleeing war in Syria and yet quickly absorbed some 2m Ukrainians within days, complete with flags and piano music. Europe never had a migrant crisis. It has a racism crisis.

Obi ran on a Christian-Muslim ticket. Tinubu ran on a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Obi ran a campaign for Nigerian youths. Tinubu ran a campaign for Yoruba people. Obi said go and verify his merit. Tinubu said it was his own turn. Obi never baited any ethnicity. Tinubu baited Igbos.

The day has now come that Nigerians are debating whether or not the private replication of an official document is a forgery. When we start bending principles for political convenience, we have lost our way. We have no roadmap. There will be no progress until we find it back.

When are we having the protest against the #TwitterbaninNigeria ? This June looks like it is ripe for all our protests to coalesce into one "mother of all protests". #EndSARS #Buharimustgo #WhereisDadiyata #June12Protest #BenueUnderAttack #PantamiMustGo

People discouraging support for Peter Obi’s campaign on basis of structure, planning or politicking experience are being illogically disingenuous. What have Nigerians received in 20 years from all the calculated experienced political structures except misery, pain and death? 😡

Peter Obi inspiring Doyin Okupe into becoming a better version of himself is a real modern-day “Jesus and Zaccheaus the chief tax collector” story.

1. Nigerians love a grass to grace story and will make it happen. 2. But only for the "right" kind of person. 3. And usually to prove a point to the "wrong" type of person. 4. While claiming the individual story is a social lesson despite it not changing any systemic problems.

Nigerians, you must learn how to fully dislike people who dislike you. Detest the politicians that detest you. You must learn to piss on the rulers who piss on you. You must learn --- and you will learn - either by sense or by force.

After a few years of being a junior in the craft (unduly extended, no thanks to the pandemic), I was yesterday raised to the High and Sublime Degree of a Master Mason of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland. 🥹

Tinubu is literally turning Yoruba people into beggars in our very eyes. He looked at the feudal system prevalent in the aristocratic North and said, “I can replicate this in Lagos.” Yorubas had a chance to reject this mentality this year and the majority failed. Awolowo wept.

Nigeria is supposedly a democracy where elected officials control institutions of state on behalf of voters. How did MC Oluomo and his army of thugs become part of this setup except that the police protect real criminals and go after innocent citizens? This is why we #EndSWAT .

Senator Remi Tinubu doesn't represent Lagos Central constituency. She doesn't represent Lagosians. She doesn't represent Yoruba people. She doesn't represent Nigerians in general. Senator Remi Tinubu represents and only represents Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu.

If you have free time or a vacation towards the middle of December, I beg you to start considering using it for #EndSARS . This season, our holiday spirit will be shown by protesting on the streets.

I earned 120k a month in my first job in 2009, and had to squat with a friend, sleeping on a rug, for a year to vigorously save up enough for my own rent. It was not a comfortable life. We must be realistic about poverty in Nigeria and how it hurts people.

"Sega helped a lot of people". Great. Give him 2 marks. But Sega endangered the lives of protesters by calling them an insurrection against Buhari, thus setting the clampdown narrative for the govt. Subtract 2 marks. 2 has cancelled 2, and we are now left with 0 credibility.

Buhari really silenced all the Twitter handles of govt agencies for the last three days. He reduced the online presence of the Nigerian govt and took communications back to 10 years ago because of his hurt ego. 😂😂😂 This whole episode is still unbelievable. #KeepitOn
