Citizens distrust for government isn't a situation peculiar to Nigeria, alone. 4 out of every 5 countries I've visited, the people have incredible disgust for their government but you see those countries - the people, esp young people are very clear who their enemies are. And this where Nigeria exists in a class of its own. The enemies who loot and pillage don't mind flaunting the spoils in your faces because they're in mesmerism of the jackpot they'd hit - the world's singular encampment of openair concentrated willing slaves. And the ones who truly care about seeing change in their lifetime slowly realise: To fight for Nigeria, you have to fight Nigerians.

Markets burned. Hospitals overwhelmed. Children terrorized. And your President was in the UK for a dinner while Maiduguri bled.

@officialABAT What trade,Investments and Jobs if you don't mind?

Last week in the United Kingdom, we took important steps to deepen a partnership that has stood the test of time. But this visit was not about history. It was about the future. Trade. Investment. Jobs. Opportunities for our people. From our engagements to the agreements signed, we are building a relationship that delivers real value for Nigerians. Thank you, Your Majesty King Charles III, and the good people of the United Kingdom for the welcome.

@Joe__Bassey Former Mozambique president Samora Michael said "If one day you hear the white man praise me, know that I have betrayed you".

This was the moment General Sani Abacha took over Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 1993. He is remembered for stabilizing the Nigerian economy despite being sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Nations, the European Union (EU), and the United States. He reduced inflation from 54% to 8.5%, increased foreign reserves from $494 million to $9.6 billion, and established the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF), which revitalized infrastructure, including roads, hospitals (like the National Hospital, Abuja), and schools.

@Jessejagz Brainless politicians rule spineless people.

Naija politicians love abroad more than their country! They love the smooth roads, the security and use the top hospitals but return to loot our mess dry. Brainless fools wey no sabi anything else but looting.

@RealKiingLu Of course, not Nigerian streams

@EngrKizzy $1M dollars from Nigerian streams ? I doubt that bro

Nigeria hasn’t fully embraced music streaming. And it’s one of the biggest reasons the music business is becoming harder to sustain locally. Coming from someone who worked in the Alaba distribution era. Wait I will explain, stay with me …..

@RealKiingLu Marketers' greed forced artists into streaming. If the industry wasn't flawed, there wouldn't be a need for change. CD's still sell abroad. Wiz earns around $1m monthly from sportify. for new artists, You know back then they'd pay big to be on a dj mix next to Davido.

@EngrKizzy Your facts might be correct, I can’t dispute that but I have a question for you. Has any artist ever made atleast 200M from Nigerian streams, I am just asking cos I know most of them make their streaming money outside this market.

@RealKiingLu Outright sale, I just used this p square as an example. It's lesser if you habe clause of renegotiation. Artists were renting houses and feeding from shows while Marketers were buying estates. Danger was of the highest sales ever 50m. The total rights were sold. Fact find

@EngrKizzy You think they made just 10 million naira from that Album lol . A lot of artists renegotiated their deals then

@RealKiingLu You acknowledge that marketers were complicit to Piracy. 50m against 600m is less than 10% to artists. Game over of P square was sold for 10 million naira and sold over 8 million copies( do the maths). Marketers were tyrants, so artists embraced any getaway.

Yes I understand piracy was a major challenge then but most of the influential marketers joined cartels that managed the piracy ish to an extent . Artists sold their albums outrightly to marketers for huge sums, imagine an artist collecting over 50M naira 15 years ago and still came back to renegotiate with the marketers when the album blew up beyond their imagination .

@RealKiingLu Please highlight the part where marketers made over 80% of CD's sold as most artists sold their albums outright to marketers or face the reoccurring lamba on piracy if they enter a deal per record sold.

But here’s the uncomfortable comparison. 15 years ago artists made serious money selling CDs locally. Let’s do the math. 3M CDs × ₦200 per copy = ₦600M Now compare that to streaming. 3M Apple Music streams in Nigeria ≈ under $9k Spotify ≈ $2k – $6k This is why some people in the industry believe we might see another shift. Not away from streaming globally but a different model locally. There are already quiet conversations about: • Physical formats (vinyl / CDs) • Paid download platforms • Alternative monetization systems for local consumers. So we might eventually see two systems: Physical or downloads for the local market Streaming for the global market Sounds funny… …but it’s possible.

@realFFK Job well done, now go and collect your wages from your new master and stop polluting this space.

For my brother Bobby Dee to compare President Tinubu to General Sani Abacha and claim that he is a dictator suggests that he is suffering from a degenerating and worrisome level of cognitive dissonance. I love Dele and God knows I have immense respect for him but he sounded drained, tired and broken and spoke little sense yesterday in his interview with Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV. May I humbly suggest to him to try and take a break from politics and political commentary for a while, get his breath back and attempt to overhaul his intellectual engine? Not only was he uncharitable and disrespectful to the President, the Vice President, the Ministers, the Senators and the newly-appointed Ambassadors, many of whom have far more experience than him in governance and Government, on that programme but he also insulted the collective intelligence of the Nigerian people. He and his associates in the ADC should focus more on trying to build up their depleted ranks and form a strong opposition that we can look forward to engaging in the field of battle for the 2027 election rather than continously obsesse and talk about what our President and our party is doing. The ADC cannot even be described as a sinking ship but rather as a badly patched up inflatable plastic life boat that has not even managed to find its bearing or leave the harbour. It has no engine, no sails, no oars, no captain, no crew, no navigational equipment, no muscle, no firepower, no war chest, no destination and worse of all it is made of rubber and not steel. How can such an ill-prepared contraption even float let alone do battle? It cannot possibly survive the rough seas and harsh winds of Nigerian politics because it lacks gravitas, focus, character, intelligence, discipline and strength. It needs to be built up, better schooled, better trained, better equipped, better educated and better prepared before it can enter the field and before we can even begin to regard it as an opposition party. Right now it can only be described as a haven and pitiful gathering of vacuous, shallow, intellectual frauds and political renegades who lack foresight and who have no direction. The fact that they have failed to take off is not Tinubu's fault, it is theirs. The fact that political leaders & the Nigerian people are flocking to APC in droves is not only because our President and Vice President are doing well but also because they view the ADC as nothing but a collection of disingenious, desperate and recycled political losers, who are addicted to power, who offer no credible alternative to governance and who, like the three blind mice, are running around in circles, chasing each other's long, mangy & wrinkled tails with no where to go. Watching my brother Dele trying to speak for them is pitiful & is even more disconcerting than his assertion that Tinubu will regret his decisions & will be deserted by everyone around him. The Bible says "who is he that sayeth a thing & it cometh to pass when the Lord God of Hosts has commanded it not?" Dele should listen to the Holy Spirit instead of to the pagan murmurings, strange whispers, demonic divinations & conjuring projections of the Prophets of Baal & the Witch of Endor. To be sure Tinubu started well, he is doing well & he will, by the grace of God, end well with no regrets in 2031. Anything short of that is the counsel of the ungodly & the manifestation & delusions of a diseased & demonised mind. I appeal to my brother Dele: leave the ranks of the forces of darkness and join us. You are far too good for the company you are keep. Your presence in the ranks of the ADC is like that of a gentle, beautiful, well bred, well fed and well manicured flamingo trapped in a sea of ugly, cruel, loud, angry, starving, cackling & relentless crows & vultures. It does not befit you. (FFK) @DeleMomodu @seunokin @channelstv @CTVpolitics @OfficialAPCNg @ADCNig @KashimSM @officialSKSM

@Joe__Bassey All lies

She said nothing but the truth…

As the 2027 election approaches, the Tinubu-led government appears determined to shape the political landscape in its favor.

@klintoncod Touche!!! This shit makes me wonder if an entire country can be suffering from short memory loss, or if the whole initial empathetic outrage was for SM engagements. Our existence is being threatened daily, yet we move on to the next trend without extinguishing any.

Our move culture has to be studied. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Reimagining ‘okay’ with magixx was such such an envelope pushing moment. I live for genre bending moments, so helping carve out this alternate version was a pleasure Definitely a highlight of last year for me 🧣

Africa(ns) first 🧡

Dear APC supporters, that Bwale video is actually how you all sound on this app everyday. Use it as a mirror.
