Telegram was banned in Russia — yet 50M+ Russians still use it daily via VPNs. The government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too. Their blocking attempts just triggered a massive banking failure — cash briefly became the only payment method nationwide.

That's because my personal Substack (davidhundeyin.substack.com) is a completely separate entity to West Africa Weekly. WAW started off on Substack, but the moment you guys invested in 2023, you made it very clear that WAW would be a standalone website (westafricaweekly.com) and the Substack platform would revert to me, which is why I changed the name from 'westafricaweekly.substack.com' to 'davidhundeyin.substack.com.' Yes, I have 160 paid subscribers there, which is the sole result of the sweat of my own brow, without your help or involvement. I built that subscriber base while writing dangerous stories inside a safe house in Central Accra with armed police patrolling outside. Were you bunch of barawos under the impression that you were entitled to what I built without you that was not covered by the purchase agreement? What did you think you were paying for? A slave? I left WAW since last year and I didn't make a song and dance about it, but since you people want to behave like a scorned ex on the internet, let me remind you that I still own half of this company, and in fact I still control many of its digital assets. Its Instagram page is literally under my personal Meta accounts centre. Ditto its LinkedIn page. I took these screen recordings less than 10 minutes ago showing that as of right now, I still have full access to the WordPress backend, Zoho email suite and Zoho Cliq workplace. If you "disengaged" me for "financial irresponsibility", kindly explain why I still have full access to all of your backends? Because you know what actually happened - I left WAW to found The Spearhead in August 2025, and you are angry because everything useful about the platform left with me, including its 2 best reporters, and in just 6 months of operation, we have created much better material and outperformed post-2023 WAW by every metric available. You know that I was right about everything. I was right about pivoting away from Nigerian news and Obidient-slop to focus on more important African geopolitical content. I was right about investing real money in creating visual content. I was right about looking beyond Nigeria for an audience. I was right about hiring a full time Sahel reporter. I was right about the fact that you needed to let go of the dream of WAW becoming a mainstream media outlet making money the conventional Nigerian media way, because the gatekeepers would never let you in simply based on the platform's association with me. I was right about boosting reporters' pay instead of expecting miracles from somebody's child whom you're paying N110,000/month to be a field reporter in Lagos. And now, instead of accepting that I was right about everything and that you know nothing about journalism or media business, your petulant response to your own horrible failure is to try to throw mud on my name and to destroy the platform in the process - a platform that you did create and whose value you cannot possibly understand because you're so poor that all you have is money. Well, you can't destroy a reputation that you didn't build. Many before you have tried. You won't be the last. The Mayowa and Kangmwa that you used to mock for being broke and unpolished have now traveled and seen the world perhaps more so than you have. They now create great material that the whole world now sees and engages with. You're still there paying people peanuts and looking for NNPC advert gigs that you will never get. Like many diasporans, once you have some small $5 in your pocket, you think everyone back home should kneel before you. After dealing with racism and insults to make your 2 kobo in Houston, you now come to reflect the same energy back to your people in Lagos because that makes you feel good about your life. Whatever floats your boat. But from the bottom of my heart, I don't care. I am better than you and there's nothing you can do about it. My offer remains open: if you can, buy me out and do what you want with WAW. I have moved on.

"Disengagement"🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿 My brothers in Christ, I still own 50% of the company in case you have forgotten. I was never an employee and I was never paid a salary. I founded the whole damn thing and you just came along for the ride. It was basically a passion project for me, before I decided to focus my energy elsewhere. "Financial irresponsibility" on top free work? "Financial irresponsibility" based on what finance???? Who drank alcohol and made this ridiculous tweet? On a handle that I personally created in 2021 and later verified using my Revolut card? Is everything OK over there????
