Young Nigerian youths with no govt patronage started a company from ground zero into a $200m company that put Nigeria on the world map-in a few years. All they needed were laptops. Laptops that SARS shoots them for. Paystack did what our Ministers need 20bn budget to do. #EndSWAT.

@stephenasmith There is nothing that reflects the damage of slavery more than an idiotic descendant of slaves being racist to fellow blacks. Imagine if this was said by a white?.

Thank you for this promo. I’ve been thinking of a gym around Lekki area & this solves it. I like that he kept reiterating that his gym won’t condone bad behavior & that customers have responsibilities. We won’t applaud cyberbullying of Business owners with one sided narratives.
Here's the CEO @FitnessCentNG Lekki, Ebun Okunbajo. Apparently a customer had a complaint and took it forward to him but he didn't like the way he went about it. So he reacted as seen in the video by being dramatic, loud and close to being violent in front of other customers.

There are 3 types of policemen in Nigeria:.1. The one you see on the streets who extort & brutalize Nigerians .2. The one at the station who seize phones, deny access to lawyer, coerce you to write statement, & extort bail.3. The ones on Twitter who claim that 1 & 2 don’t exist.
I have said it severally that the police force doesn't support or approve the payment of bail money at any stage. We only grant administrative bail and with no payment attached. We need to collectively put an end to the problem of bail money. We must endeavour to ask questions.

I am disappointed in the performance of #PeterObiInChathamHouse. He keeps answering all questions & doesn't delegate anything. Failed to demonstrate "leadership" of his team. So which work will these Obidients be doing? How dare Peter Obi say he will be responsible for the work?.

I’m watching right now on @ABC a press release by @FBILosAngeles on Nigerian internet scam syndicate. A heart shattering embarrassment to this country, those we call yahoo boys have scammed Americans to the tune of $1.1bn between Jan-July this year alone. This is a disaster!

If you say Peter Obi does not have strategy or Labour Party does not have structure, good news for you is that I agree. Infact I was the first to point this out. Bad news is that we can build strategy and structure. I am a career strategist, I will volunteer. @NgLabour we dey.

There are countless movies that portray the US intelligence as corrupt, brutal & fascist - direct opposite of what the US govt wants the world to believe. Heck, there are movies that show the White House attacked & taken down, or Christianity, Judaism, Greek Gods etc as all.

That’s literally what happens anywhere in the world where govt abandons the fundamental needs of food, education, healthcare and security. No project, no matter how fancy, will thrive nor be impactful in the face of a hungry citizenry. This govt has been too insensitive to cries.
Sad to learn that our Digital Innovation Park in Kano slated for launch next week to support our technical talent accelerator (3MTT) has been set ablaze and looted by protesters. Alongside #3MTT, this building is set to host our buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary.

@channelstv I can count like 50 young brilliant people off the top of my head on Twitter that @channelstv can invite to discuss Twitter in Nigeria ban, but they choose to prioritize Adamu Garba. Channels needs to stop amplifying idiocy & dictatorship.

Dear Nigerians, pls remember that it is only Nigerians that work in most Shoprite, MTN or DSTV outlets. It is Nigerian families that will suffer when you burn,it is Nigerian insurance that will pay, its Nigerians that will lose. Let's urge govt action instead! #SayNoToXenophobia.

I have seen many police & govt spokespersons insinuate that many of us trending #EndSARS & protesting are criminals & clout chasers. I dare Frank Mba & any Senior police man to publicly declare their incomes & assets & let many of us do same. MOST OF THEM ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS.

In political science, a state is a group of people or society bound by a SOVEREIGN national government within a defined territory. Any other type of state within a sovereign state IS Infact a subNational state or a subnational government. But ofcourse, how will you know this?.
Wait, did this guy actually go to any school , or was he just acquiring short certificates to boost CV?. What's "what I can call a subnational state," and why was he hesitant?

General Sani Abacha ruled Nigeria at a time when oil producers were building their countries after the gulf war boom. Whilst Dubai, Qatar etc were being built from oil money into the finest cities in the world, Nigerians were cooking from saw dust stove & getting massacred.
General Sani Abacha had one of best economic indices in Nigeria. Under his reign,inflation reduced from 54% in 1993 to 8.5% in 1998. Abacha grew Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves from $494m in 1993 to $9.6bn in 1997. He reduced external debt from $36bn in 1993 to $27bn in 1997.

This video is the most creative representation of the tone deaf and lackluster attitude of General Buhari that I have ever seen #EndSARS .

This chat from my childhood friend last night broke me. SARS murdered her husband & left her stranded to go find him in the mortuary & seized the deceased phone for 3days. If you are being political with #EndSARS , it’s likely because your child wasn’t shot. Full chat in Thread👇

Nigeria becomes first country to witness its leading news channel TV turn a blind eye on national protests against the gruesome killings and extortion of youths by its police. Shame on you @channelstv #EndSarsProtests.

It is a shame that Dangote, Dipo, Sega, Aisha & Tony Elumelu are trending more than the #EndSARS, #EndSWAT #SARSMUSTEND and other hashtags of this campaign. None of these individuals is more important than the overall objective. We must NOT let the crack they are digging succeed.

I love Governor @jidesanwoolu. He doesn’t stress Lagosians. Good man. When Ambode was governor, we were always arguing & stressing over if he was performing or not. Fight everyday. But BOS? No fighting. There is a national consensus that he is sleeping. From Day 1. Still birth.

Yet you’ve made it hell for me & haven’t registered me that have been law abiding, killed no one, pay you millions in taxes annually and even have my pensions borrowed to fund your operations. In my country, killers take priority over tax payers. Amadioha gbagbukwa ike gi!.

Gombe:. Literacy rate: 39%.Poverty rate: 76.9%.Unemployment rate: 27%.ANNUAL IGR: 7.3billion only. Debt profile (2018): N63.3billion. This state is obviously very troubled & poor. But here you are,bothered more about hijab on the Governor’s wife. Who did we offend nitori Olorun?.
She is the only wife of the governor who wears hijab. H. E Hajiya Asma'u Inuwa Yahaya, the wife of Gombe state Governor. Show me your Governors wife with hijab.

Because 12 reasons.1. Democracy is about choices. Only in Nigeria does democracy function as autocracy & elites find it to be decent rather than fight.2. I’m able to separate my views from my comfort zone & see the brutalization of micro businesses/transporters by violent thugs.
TL Sleep?. I like the idea of a GRV governorship, but I have no real issues with Sanwo-Olu as governor. He’s been decent. Truth is, as an “average citizen”, it’s win-win for me whoever is governor June 13th, but I want to have a proper conversation about this.
