I’m broken. Just lost my beautiful wife to cancer. She was my best friend for 43 years and my wife for 41 years. Cancer is real, but it shouldn’t be a death sentence - awareness, and early detection and treatment are key to survival. I miss her so so much. I’m broken.
You cannot build on nothing. Neither can you reform what’s not willing to be reformed. Nigerians want what’s best for Nigeria, and the most important at this time is to

Today, I celebrate 40+1 years in marriage with the love of my life. 41 years of no regrets. I am indeed the most blessed man in the world.

I urge Nigerians to insist on a Presidential debate. Refuse to vote for any candidate who dodges the debate. If you want to hire a worker, you must interview him. How can any candidate expect us to vote for him or her as President if they refuse to be interviewed by Nigerians?
Life. Indeed, like sand in the wind, today it’s here, tomorrow it's gone. My mum is gone. She died at 4:40am this morning. My gem of inestimable value, my support system, my best friend, my everything—she’s gone.
If I had my way, education would be the biggest industry and the education minister would be the most powerful minister. Teachers would earn more than politicians and I‘d ask Harvard and Oxford to work with Nigeria to develop a curriculum that turns our graduates to entrepreneurs
This picture is not from Europe or America. This is Rwanda. They have e-bikes in the street that you locate with a mobile app. You use them abs return them. They are charged by solar panels. They are saving Rwandans both time and money. Rwanda is becoming a small giant of Africa.
They announce your ‘win’ and it is as if a majority of the nation is in mourning mode. That ought to tell you something. You can rig votes, but you can’t rig the public’s mood.
President Bola Tinubu is making the right calls. He turned Lagos into the 6th largest economy in Africa, and now he is in charge of the largest economy in Africa. Watch out!
No matter who wins this Saturday, we must still remain brothers and sisters born from the womb of one mother Nigeria. We will never become enemies because of elections or politicians. Nigeria existed before these political parties and Nigeria will survive and thrive after them.

I have just given a company-wide directive that all new vehicles purchased on behalf of Silverbird Group will be electric vehicles. We are going to be the first company to go all green. Also, we will not issue any car-loan to any staff except they want to buy an electric car.
But why are the APC Governors visiting Buhari over the Naira redesign? How many times did they visit Buhari when they refused to pay salaries of civil servants? When 3 million students were at home over ASUU strike, they did not visit. Emefiele is on track. I support him!
Just imagine if those 3 million Nigerian Super Eagles jerseys were made by a firm in Aba rather than
@Nike
. Aba tailors have the capacity to produce them. We just lost an opportunity to infuse at least $100 million into the Nigerian economy and provide jobs for our youths.
Under pressure,
@atiku
did not crack. This is kind of leader Nigeria needs. A leader who will never crack under pressure. This is why I will vote for Atiku.

If Yinka Ayefele had built that radio station in England or America, he would have received an award. He built it in Nigeria to provide jobs and he received bulldozers instead. Yet we say we want investors.
If President
@MBuhari
can afford ₦3.5 million per month to feed Ibrahim El Zakzaky, then I don’t see why he can’t find afford ₦30,000 per month to pay the new minimum wage. Or should Nigerian workers join Zakzaky in detention so they can feed at ₦116,000 a day too?
#EndSARS
is a struggle whose time has come. I implicitly and without any restraint, support the call for the total abolition of SARs. I also commend the organisation of the various peaceful protests around Nigeria. SARs must end. And it will! Enough is enough.
#EndPoliceBrutality
What is this silliness I am reading about Anambra producing too many Vice Presidents and other SE states deserve it more? ALL the Presidents and Vice Presidents the SW has produced have come from Ogun State, yet the Yoruba united behind them. Some people should learn from this.
I urge Nigerians to separate the behaviour of a few people from the behaviour of the Yoruba. Look at the results of the Presidential elections. The Yoruba voted almost 50% for an Igbo VP. The Yoruba don’t hate the Igbos or anybody. No ethnicity is as accommodating as the Yoruba.
Every citizen owns the right to life, liberty and happiness—but in Nigeria, the very body tasked with ensuring the protection of life and property is the body denying these rights to our citizens. Enough is Enough. The time to end SARS brutality is now!
3 years after, we still dont know who owns Ikoyi billions. More than a year later, the nation is kept in the dark on how much we spend on subsidy. One year after, we still dont know who recalled, reinstated and double promoted Maina. Too many cover ups for an anticorruption era!

@AlikoDangote
has developed almost every part of Nigeria. You can’t benefit from his development and tell him to return to Kano. The idea of asking people of an ethnic group to leave any city they helped develop is why I believe state of residence should replace state of origin.
Celebrating 40 years of marriage to the love of my life, my one and only wife, Mrs Evelyn Murray-Bruce. I love you to the moon and back. I have never and will never look to my right or to my left. I will always look to you the most beautiful girl in the world. Happy Anniversary!
Don’t punish the wealthy for being rich. Poverty is not a virtue. Wealth is not a sign of corruption. On the contrary, it is often a sign of hard work. Our job as leaders is not to equalise poverty. Rather, it is to spread prosperity. Wealth is to be admired, not suspected.
Whoever says Nigerian youths are lazy should just buy a mirror and he or she will see the real definition of laziness! I have over 1000 Nigerian youths in my employ and not one of them is lazy.
Why are we having reports of SARs officers on the road with the usual harassment of citizens? This wasn’t the deal. The protests have since abated. Therefore I urge the government to fulfil their end of the deal.

One thing Nigerian politicians must understand is that you can make much more money through legitimate business from a growing economy than you can make stealing from a dying economy. No one loves poverty. But corruption isn’t the answer. Create wealth and it‘ll circulate to you
President Bola Tinubu,
@officialABAT
, is the first President of Nigeria with a Financial background. Let me tell our 419 businessmen some hard truths. Your days of going to the villa at night to get import duty exemptions, tax waivers, fraudulent judgement claims and bogus…
It is time we have a new

Force. And to achieve the goals of
#EndSARS
, I urge the President to go for the most qualified, not the most connected.
For almost 3 years you denied your promise to restructure, you attacked those calling for restructuring and now exactly 1 year to the 2019 election, you suddenly fell in love with restructuring? I was born at night sir, but I was not born last night. This is comedy not politics.
In June this year, I was in Los Angeles to watch you accept your award for Best International Act. You made us proud, and the best part is, you’re about to do it again - at the Grammys!!! Nigerians and I are very proud of you

I am deeply saddened and I stand in solidarity with Busola Dakolo. To put in perspective the enormity of rape crime in Nigeria, one day I was talking to 6 beauty queens, 5 opened up to me that they were raped as children.
Godwin Emefiele is a God sent to this nation. For the first time in forever, vote buying will be almost eliminated. In a country with 130 million multidimensionally poor people, this is a giant step for democracy.
Just received reports of reprisal attacks at Shoprite in Lekki, Lagos state. I know as Nigerians we are offended at the attacks against our brothers and sisters in South Africa. However, two wrongs can't make a right. Therefore, I urge for calm amongst our brethren.

You can postpone judgment day, but you can’t avoid it. You benefitted from democracy and you can’t deny it to the people who gave it to you. You work for the people at their pleasure. The people don’t work for you. You can run, but you can’t hide. Their votes will find you out.
Dear President
@MBuhari
,
Invest in education, not just in anti corruption. Instead of throwing people in jail, remember that he who opens the doors of a school, closes the doors of prisons. It is sad that you have built not ONE school. Not even one. Yet you want crime to end?
I am saddened by the stories and videos coming out of South Africa. I’ve also read reports that the Nigerian embassy in South Africa denied entry to Nigerians who visited to register their displeasure. These incidences are unfortunate. Our citizens deserve better!
#Xenophobia
So glad VP Yemi
@ProfOsinbajo
is safe. I wish him well and want him to stay alive so we can all work together as patriots to get this nation on the road to greatness. We may be in different parties and support different candidates, but he is first and foremost a human being.
14 million Nigerians lost jobs in the last 4 years. I am employee of labour, and I know how much I have struggled to ensure that I do not sack any of my 1058 staff. Sometimes, I can’t even service my cars. So don’t tell me you will create jobs when you spent 4 years losing jobs!
We budget ₦462 billion for education and ₦1.3 trillion for security. We have 65 million youths and children and we are spending ₦462 billion to educate them. We have less than 100,000 terrorists and we are spending over ₦500 billion to fight them. Do you now see the problem?
You have become the winner. Celebrated internationally as the Face of Democracy in Africa. You gave up power to save lives. Now the world knows and respects the sacrifice of the man whose ambition is not worth the blood of his citizens. I am proud of you
We watched as Abacha killed and removing anyone who stood his way and we said we are not Yoruba or from Abiola’s family. Then one day he removed the Sultan himself. If we dont stop
@MBuhari
today, we don’t know who he will remove next. It could be Sultan, Ooni, Emir, Oba or Obi.
We refused to celebrate
@anthonyfjoshua
, and England took him from us. Now God has given us a genius in the form of 8 year old Tanitoluwa Adewumi. I appeal to President
@MBuhari
: Acknowledge this boy and use him to inspire Nigeria’s youth (who are NOT lazy), or we lose him to USA
After three and a half years in office, we expecte that President
@MBuhari
would campaign on his achievements. We are shocked that instead of pointing fingers at his fulfilled campaign promises, he points fingers fo false stories about

I want you to know we are with you,
@anthonyfjoshua

I call on
@MBuhari
to show support for Anthony as he puts 🇳🇬 on the world stage, Dec7.
We spend more money prospecting for oil in Northern Nigeria than on educating our 12 million out of school children, at a time when the world is phasing out crude oil. Venezuela, the country with the largest crude oil reserves in the world, is bankrupt! Oil cannot save Nigeria.
Ghana's passed a law allowing for dual citizenship. Meanwhile their Supreme Court has ruled against any form of discrimination against people with dual citizenship. This has encouraged the Ghanaian diaspora to return home to invest in their thousands. Ghana is a model in Africa!
Bank PHB has been defunct for a decade, but it is the day after
@atiku
proved them wrong by coming to America that they suddenly remember that he has a case to answer? This is such a disappointment. I thought their fight back would be something smart. But this? This is pathetic!
