Ode to Wole Soyinka at 90
A sage arose from Ake
With a pen fierce and bold
A shield for Ibadan and all Africa,
A laureate's fire, a timeless scroll.
Ninety years, a story to tell,
Of battles fought and victories won,
With words that cut through iron bars,
A beacon under
"Nigeria is a profitable investment destination. This is the time to invest in Nigeria. I speak as a private sector investor in Nigeria, that, the companies we have invested in our Group are doing well, I believe you also can take advantage of the opportunity" - Tony O. Elumelu,
I was pleased to join other global leaders to attend the G20 activities in New Delhi, India. I delivered remarks at the Nigeria-India Presidential Roundtable and Business Conference which underscored the important message that Nigeria is open for business.
My message centered on
Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬💚
"To the rest of the world, I say, work with us as true friends and partners. Africa is not a problem to be avoided, nor is it to be pitied. Africa is nothing less than the key to the world’s future.”
To the Immortal, Invisible, the ONLY Wise GOD..
My Maker, my Owner, my Shield, my Buckler, the Lifter of my head...
Thank You for Your Love so Incredible, Indescribable, Love so Amazing.
Thank You for the privilege of a New Beginning, a New Year, a year Bright and

To every Nigerian who panders and dances to songs denigrating Nigeria, please keep the energy. One day, ONE DAY, you will come to your senses, but it would be too late! God Bless Nigeria 💚

Much unlike some Nigerians who deny their heritage upon contact with the so-called saner climes, Ashleigh Plumptre is eager to be reacquainted with her Nigerian heritage.
And what better way to do it than to bring her talent along

A few weeks ago, one Governor offered me N500M but I declined. Yes! 😌. I literally shredded the cheque, insisting the State should invest in agriculture 😏. If you like don't believe me, na your wahala be that! 😌🤭

Dear Honourable Minister Sir,
I trust you are well. Sir, would you consider FESTAC Town as one of your projects? The roads are horrible, to put it mildly, and most of the houses (especially the blocks of flats) look like disasters, soon to happen.

Before Mohbad died, he gave his father clothes he no longer wanted. Since Mohbad's death, his father hasn't been to his house let alone access his closet. Don't let social media make you accuse the innocent. There is no need for shame in this case because he wore the same clothes

There is no space for terror and terrorism across South West Nigeria.
The federal government should crush any violent uprising from criminal miscreants, thugs and terrorists.
We will not allow any form of terrorism across South West Nigeria.

Do they pay taxes in saner climes like UK, US and Canada? Can't our Govt copy the saner climes? They even give their people free house and free food from food banks 😑😌... this App is wild!

However, I still will want to plead with my fellow Nigerians, that we conduct ourselves responsibly and with integrity.

"Nation building is not a quick fix, it entails sacrifices!"
"Our pursuit of nation building must be characterised by unwavering determination, empathy and a commitment to create a legacy of progress, unity and hope for generations to come" - Tony
Nation building is not a quick fix, it entails sacrifices! We cannot keep doing the same things and expect different outcomes.
Nation building is a call to arms – a vital task – a necessity.
I received and accepted an invitation from the Ad Hoc Committee on Public Private Partnerships of the Lagos State House of Assembly to discuss the issues we raised on the Sustainable Transport Initiative between LASG and Oando Clean Energy.
May the veils of biases that becloud our senses of judgement be torn into shreds. Selective outcry will take us nowhere. Let us call out the criminal elements among us, regardless of the tribe, religion or political leanings.
The selective outrage and criticism on insecurity and killings across Nigeria 🇳🇬 isn’t great. Everyone should be consistent in calling out despicable crime irrespective of the tribe or religion of the perpetrators and the victims.
Anyone who doesn't like it should fly with another airline. There are other options, many of them in fact! They won't wear isiagu, they will wear shirt and tie. 🤨😌
Proudly Nigeria, proudly Igbo!!! If you don’t like the attire of the cabin crew, go and hustle , get rich, own and airline , then do whatever you like with it. Until then keep your bigotry to your household.
NB: stop Majoring on the minor….. Nigeria will be great.
