Every once in a while, an event occurs that challenges an individual, and ends up defining that individual. In our case, the COVID-19 has challenged Governor Sanwoolu; & like a colossus, he has risen to the challenge. He is defining himself. I salute you

This is not an accurate statement, dear Datti. Shell is selling its on-shore assets, but are still very strong in their off-shore business. So, it's not true that they're leaving Nigeria. As leaders, we owe accurate information, and not a misleading or sensational one.
Cheers.
To all of us starting the Ramadan fasting from tomorrow, I say congratulation; may the blessings of the holy month be with us, our home, & our nation. May we overcome this unseen enemy, COVID-19, currently plaguing our land. Amen.
If you collect money from other people for a stated purpose, you must account for the money; even if you made mistakes on the way, & lost some. Next time you come, they'll know that you'll render account. Simple.
Tiger Woods, last night; surreal, inspiring. Reminded me of a mammy wagon's rear inscription that I'd seen before, "the downfall of a man is not the end of his life".
This is an art work, a painting by a Nigerian, Oresegun Olumide who painted it. It will beat any painting of Picasso.
Let us celebrate this work and chap by broadcasting him to the world
Congratulations to my dear son, Fikayo, aka Ziki, for putting this together and making it happen. The sky is your limit, and I'm so so proud of you! Bests.

What does one do in a situation where no one knows what to do? We must engage, discuss, & continue to explore possibilities. We will make mistakes; but if we follow through with the process, we will find answers. It's called leadership.
Hmm. Are we quietly witnessing a resurgence at Arsenal? In the same week, they have beaten both Nos. 1 & 2 on the Premier League Table. If the first was luck, tonight came out of a definitive & robust game plan. Next season will be interesting. Good luck to the Gunners.
What Thomas Tuchel did tonight is what Managers are employed to do. This is what United are missing. They have saddled themselves with an average Manager, & will pay dear for it. Well done, Mr. Tuchel. Congratulations, Chelsea fans.
Happy 70th birthday to our incredible and dynamic Founder and Chairman,
@tfolaadeola
Your leadership and passion set the founding vision and the foundation for all our milestones, impact and successes to date.
Moon sightings unanimous. Ramadan starts today. May the blessings of the holy month abide with us all. I wish us all a successful month of fasting & prayers. Ramadan Kareem.

Thank you so much, everyone that sent me a birthday wish yesterday. By your action, you contributed in no small way to make it awesome. I was happy throughout; I intend to be for the rest of the year, despite the challenges that we're all facing. Once again, thank you. Cheers.
Happy 60th Independence anniversary to all of us. We may not be where we'd like to be; we have left where we were in 1960. May God bless our nation, our leaders, & ourselves. Enjoy the day.

"Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is risen." May the spirit of the risen Christ fill us all today & ever more. Amen.
Happy Easter to us all.
May I condole the families that suffered fatalities as a result of the tragedy that was unleashed on our community since last night. I pray also for the repose of the souls of the dead. I had thought that our society had advanced beyond this. I was wrong.
What one accomplishment will I be able to show that I achieved during this period? Am I getting closer to my family? Is it the books that I read, or the one that I always wanted to write that i started/completed? Is it those that I helped? Or did I just watch the time pass me by?
Could our state governors consider the possibility of setting up a ventilator Bank, where all ventilators that are currently not in use will be deposited in this Bank, & they'll be available to be 'borrowed' by the states that are in need?
The same boys that got thrashed 3-0 at Old Trafford were the same that redeemed themselves at Wembley this evening. Only one thing had changed; the Manager.
Just one day dedicated to our mothers cannot fully express our depth of gratitude & devotion to them. For me therefore, every day is Mothers' Day. For the symbolism of today, I wish us all a happy Mothers' Day! Best wishes to all our mothers.
Most likely, if the Ife sex for marks Professor had been rich, he would still be teaching accounting in Ife now, with all the technicalities of the law for sale. Who are we? What nation do we want?
The news of the passing of the great musician, Jimi Solanke, at the age of 82 is a sad one. He came to honour me at my home on January 10, which was possibly his last outing. May his soul rest in peace.
Dear
@KoladeCraig
, democracy grants you & I the freedom of expression & opinion. I have expressed mine. In expressing yours, you became disagreeable; it is unnecessary. Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Cheers.
If
@tfolaadeola
is praising the efforts of
@jidesanwoolu
who hasn't taken any novel initiatives like large scale citizens testing or running a data/digital based food distribution model, then ull know we are in for a big problem. These people glorify mediocrity tbvh.
The moon has now been sighted, which means that Ramadan starts tomorrow. Wishing every fasting Muslim every comfort during this period. May Allah accept our supplication.
Nothing bad happened to me, & I can say the same for
@jimiagbaje
; it is the way that you define success that may be different. For me, nobody runs for election and loses. The experience is simply phenomenal.
May Yinka Odumakin's soul rest in peace. May God comfort all the loved ones that he left behind. His last days on this side of the divide were tough for him; equally tough for all involved. His life was purposeful; I hope that his wife will draw strength from that. What a loss!
Happy 60th Birthday to the Masked Man who gave us:

Tomorrow, our lecture will now be in form of a webinar. The webinar ID is the same as the one circulated. Please endeavour to arrive as early as you can as will start on time. The room has now been expanded to take 1000.
Just want to understand, why was his hand in that man’s mouth? Grabbing his teeth, trying to separate his jaw? What life saving measure is that?

"But God raised him from the the dead, releasing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its clutches."-Acts 2:24. May the spirit of the risen Christ abide with us all, now & forever. Amen. Happy Easter to all of us.
1. This is not entirely factual. What we have done is to set up a N250,000,000.00 fund on the platform of a coalition of FATE Philanthropy & some donors to establish isolation centers in 3 Lagos, Abeokuta & Abuja.
Congratulations to United & their Manager, (plus their fans, of course!), who, against all odds, came third (ahead of Chelsea & Leicester). In all my experience following the league, the table hardly lies!
2. Our various governments have relaxed the lockdown, NOT COVID-19! It's protocols have therefore not CHANGED:
4. Maintain distancing. Guidance is 6 feet;
5. Avoid gatherings, certainly one with more than 20 people.
6. Call the NCDC should you begin to experience symptoms.
We won the game last night, though the official result was a draw. Still, we qualified. Not our best performance; just enough. Congratulations to the Eagles & the rest of us.
I enjoin the authorities to identify everyone complicit in this particular incident & bring them to book. Killing cannot be the antidote to a peaceful protest, in a civilised society. It's painful, in 2020, to think that we may just not be one, yet.
Sorry, some of us were not trained to wait till the end; we are constantly appraising, & awarding marks. Some of the benefits of this system is to encourage & give confidence. If subsequent appraisals indicate negative performance, his marks will reflect appropriately. Cheers.

Let's wait until end of April before this praise singing. Yes he is making efforts but the results will show whether he acted on time and decisively enough.
United got their game plan so right today & effectively prevented City from playing their typical free-flowing possession based style of ply. What a commendable effort! Congrats to Ole, the players & the fans. We'd look forward to more consistency.
Hi Everyone,

A breath of fresh air, a taste of what is possible, a ray of hope, especially in these times; thank you very much, Miss Tobi Amusan. You've been able to show your capacity where only your skill mattered.
The judges don't come to the people, the people go to the judges, at which point they do their job. The people then protest or rejoice, depending on the outcome of the judges' job. What really do we want?

today electoral choices made by citizens are being increasingly rendered useless. This threat to ‘the legitimacy on the system’ is coming from our courts, including
@SupremeCourtNg
, whose decisions are final & also control lower courts.
Ouch! No, we don't do that. It's not sycophancy to commend someone for doing a good job; even when he's paid to do it. You don't need to look very far to see the opposite. Still, thank you.
A very bad day at the office today for United. What they need urgently is a Manager; they have enough good players. The ref didn't help in this match with the sending off. Pity.
I tweeted here recently that the modern game has passed Jose by; I'm reaffirming my position. With the quality of players at his disposal, United had no business losing to any relegation side. Pity.
Our various governments have relaxed the lockdown, NOT COVID-19! It's protocols have therefore not CHANGED:
1. Wash your hands as often as you need to;
2. Stay home as much as you can. If you're over 60, stay home;
3. Wear your face mask, if you have to go out; (contd)
