@ifetemini So codemixing, is being an elite? Kọntinuuuuu!

Being Yoruba is so elite! Speaking Yoruba and English together is very elite and sophisticated!

@cryptowalax America can be a funny country 😂. Imagine people discussing serious security issues.

This is absolute cinema .. Worth watching 🔥

@Hhonor_ I do hope you know the history of warrant chiefs and their identity.

Soon the yorubas will try to claim AKUPE and our STAFF

@DeleMomodu 😂😂😂😂 NB: My reaction is only after I read the title oooooo

FEMI FANI-KAYODE: WHEN WILL YOU STOP BEING A THUG? By DELE MOMODU I knew Chief Babaremilekun Adetokunbo Fani-Kayode, Q.C, SAN, of blessed memory, the father of David Oluwafemi Adewunmi Abdulateef Fani-Kayode aka FFK, in Ile-Ife, long before I met his querulous, garrulous and cantankerous son. Femi is a classic case of a wasted investment. He attended some of the best schools pedigree and/or money could purchase, but turned out an outright and incurable thug. He went to Cambridge University, probably a 4th generation in his family, but became an enfant terrible, fighting anyone and anything, including esoteric spirits, in sight. All supplication and intercession by friends and family on his behalf have failed to cure his strange malady. And this is the man President Bola Tinubu is about to unleash on Germany as an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for God's sake. For Femi, it is a fulfillment of a long expected appointment. We discussed it several times. And I encouraged him to be patient and prayerful. I felt his deep frustration and depression. He was already working on Plan B, and begging a few of us to help him reach out to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (GCON), if all hopes evaporate. Femi without power is like fish out of water. It is such a pity that now that Tinubu has finally looked at his side, with mercy and compassion, he is still busy fighting, like a pig, instead of seeking urgent rehabilitation into the comity of sane human beings. - AARE BASORUN AKINROGUN DELE MOMODU is a journalist and former Presidential candidate.

@SaharaReporters He came too late to the party. This ain't Jonathan!

@Onsogbu The main difference that has not always been discussed in the mainstream media. x.com/walebaker/stat…

"..In the past we've always had Presidents who were not so much grounded in politics... But this time around we have President Bola Tinubu who happened to be highly skillful, I know the members of the opposition don't like to hear this, but they themselves know the truth."

@DAMIADENUGA With the question, you’ll understand pure ignorance.

@grok @Yuxii96 @WesternInvasion 😂😂😂

@Telegraph Which Starmer? I doubt if anybody sincere would call on the same Starmer of the PRESENT UK! for such a cause. #ironical and intelligently, not funny

The King and Queen will host Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi, at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, where they will be the guests of honour at a state banquet. The president will then visit Downing Street on Thursday. Read the full piece 👉 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/1…

@DailyMail The same Starmer of Downing Street what to help Nigerian Christians! Hahahaha, What an irony! 😂😂😂

Starmer must confront Nigeria's president over killing of Christians on his state visit to UK next week, MPs demand trib.al/Gj9dIZe

@RadioGenoa Suicidal empathy and social guilt that is leading to cultural self-censorship and the complete erasure of historical pride, while the supposed friends are aiming for the jugular.

Many churches in Europe welcome Muslims for Ramadan celebrations, despite over 12,500 mosques in Europe. Conversely, mosques, as a matter of principle, do not allow Christian services to be held within them. We are tolerant of the world's worst intolerants. We are helping ourselves to destroy ourselves. Simply absurd.

“This Is For My Fellow Yorubas, I Thought As a Yoruba Person Living In Nigeria Under This Tinubu Government You’re Supposed To Have Light While Other Don’t, Also Fuel Price Should Be Brought Down Specifically For Only The Yorubas Because The President Is Also a Yoruba Especially When The Minister Of Power Is Yoruba. Don’t Worry You Yorubas Will Suffer Badly. You’re Already Suffering More Than Other Tribes In Nigeria. You People Should Continue To Be Tribalistic Because You Want To Support Tinubu Just Because He’s a Yoruba Man, More Suffering Awaits You All.” ~ Man

@Usmanashafe He probably did everything - the money transfer, calls, and the SM post/ranting- for medic traffic and engagement. The level of desperation of SM content creation is sickening.

Now if Lege doesn’t apologize publicly to this man, he should sue him

@ThinkYoruba_1st Hmmnn. “Ẹṣin inu iwe ki ntaa”

May Allah bless this Islamic cleric......An Islamic cleric that understood religion

@FestusOlamilek7 @Big_marvis @jephthah2007 😂😂😂😂 Ask those who work with the government. Do you think people do extra jobs or extra hours because they love extra? Not everyone is on the Tech payroll. 😂

@walebaker @Big_marvis @jephthah2007 And you think govt workers are earning 2k as monthly as minimum wages in UK right…Una go Dey alright

Let’s look at some uncomfortable numbers. Nigeria: Minimum wage — ₦70,000/month University tuition — ₦135,000/year UK: Minimum wage — about $2,050/month University tuition — about $9,500/year A short thread. 🧵

"…there is virtue in ambiguity." SLA

@Big_marvis @jephthah2007 The point is that you Dont understand Nigeria's civil service salary structure. #70k is the minimum wage, not the minimum monthly salary; i.e., no govt worker receives as low as #70k per month.

@jephthah2007 So what is your point?

@SegunShowunmi @mehdirhasan Many people in Nigeria don't know Hasan, that’s just unfortunate.

Hostility Is Not Journalism. Mehdi Hassan Take Note. There is a clear difference between tough journalism and outright hostility. One serves the public interest. The other serves the ego of the interviewer. Unfortunately, the recent exchange between @mehdirhasan and presidential spokesperson @BwalaDaniel fell squarely into the latter category. What viewers witnessed was not a serious interview. It was an attempted public ambush. From the outset, the tone was aggressively confrontational. Questions were framed less as inquiries into governance and more as prosecutorial traps. Responses were repeatedly interrupted before they could develop. Clarifications were brushed aside. The atmosphere was unmistakable: this was not a conversation designed to inform viewers but a spectacle designed to embarrass the guest. Serious journalism does not operate this way. The craft of interviewing demands discipline. It requires the ability to ask difficult questions while still allowing the guest to articulate answers. It requires intellectual confidence strong enough to permit disagreement without descending into open hostility. Above all, it requires a commitment to substance over theatrics. That commitment was glaringly absent. Nigeria is currently grappling with a range of serious national challenges economic restructuring, security threats, governance reforms, and the complex work of stabilizing a large and dynamic democracy. A responsible interviewer would have used the opportunity to interrogate the administration’s policies on these matters: What strategies are being deployed? What reforms are underway? What outcomes should citizens expect? Instead, viewers were treated to an exercise in selective outrage and repetitive interruption. Even more troubling was the insinuation that political realignment is somehow illegitimate. Democratic politics is built on shifting alliances. Individuals and movements evolve. Former opponents become partners when national circumstances demand cooperation. This is neither shocking nor dishonorable; it is one of the defining characteristics of democratic political life. History provides countless examples. Leaders across the world have entered alliances with former adversaries when the demands of governance required it. To pretend otherwise is either intellectual dishonesty or a deliberate attempt to create sensationalism where none exists. But the deeper problem in the interview was tone. A journalist who openly ridicules or repeatedly attempts to humiliate a guest crosses an important professional boundary. The role of the interviewer is to hold power accountable not to behave like a courtroom prosecutor seeking a viral “gotcha” moment. When the pursuit of humiliation replaces the pursuit of insight, journalism loses its credibility. Audiences deserve better than that. They deserve interviews that illuminate policy, probe governance, and help citizens understand how leaders intend to confront the pressing challenges of the day. What they do not need is a theatrical performance in which hostility is mistaken for intellectual rigor. Respectful engagement does not weaken journalism; it strengthens it. Firm questioning does not require contempt. Professionalism does not require aggression. If global media wishes to retain its claim to moral authority as a watchdog of democracy, it must remember a basic principle: the goal of journalism is to inform the public, not to stage spectacles at the expense of civility and substance. The interview in question did neither. It was not a demonstration of fearless journalism. It was a demonstration of how easily the craft can slide into something far less admirable when provocation becomes the objective and professionalism is abandoned.
