I have observed that my message about a curse affecting the chances of the Igbos for their presidential ambition has been grossly misunderstood and misinterpreted. In some quarters, it’s been perceived as my hatred for the tribe and my support for the current administration. It’s important for me to clarify that there has never been a time when my messages or prophecies expressed my hatred for any tribe for whatever reason. I love everyone regardless of their tribe, and this is why my church has a mixture of several tribes and ethnic groups, because we don’t segregate; we treat everyone respectfully, regardless of what they represent. My statement about the Igbo curse is more of a solution towards getting the presidency than what it’s been perceived to be. I issue warnings to people most of the time, and these warnings, if well followed, will definitely provide solutions to whatever problems it was issued for. I am not against Igbo presidency, and this is why I shared the secret of cleansing the tribe of the curse that has been blocking their progress regarding presidency. What should come after that are questions on how to take off the curse in preparation for the 2027 presidential election, but the wrong steps are being taken. God has sent me to deliver his message; he has also provided a solution for them to get a chance at the presidency; it’s left for them to either follow or reject it.

You are totally WRONG on this matter. Kindly rewrite and learn how to present issues troubling the nation. 1. On "Abandoning Professionalism for Provocation" Fact: Journalism is not synonymous with placidity. Aggressive, persistent, and uncomfortable questioning is often a hallmark of professional journalism, especially in societies where power is accustomed to operating without scrutiny. The line between "provocation" and "tenacious journalism" is often drawn by those in power to discredit unwelcome inquiry. Fact: Professional codes of journalism prioritize holding the powerful to account, verifying facts, and giving voice to the voiceless. If a broadcaster is presenting verified facts and asking tough questions based on those facts, they are operating within the highest traditions of the profession, even if their tone is confrontational. 2. On "Self-Appointed Prosecutors and Enemies of the State" Fact: This is a classic rhetorical tactic used by autocrats and authoritarian-leaning governments to equate criticism with treason. The press is, by design, a "self-appointed" watchdog. Its role is not to be a state propagandist but to act as a proxy for the public, investigating and questioning the use of power. · Fact: A fundamental principle of democracy is that the state is not synonymous with the nation. Criticizing the government is an act of patriotism, not enmity. It is a service to the nation aimed at improving governance and preventing the abuse of power. 3. On the Role of Regulatory Bodies and the Ministry of Information · Fact: In a democratic society, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) is meant to regulate the airwaves for technical standards, fairness, and to prevent the broadcast of material that incites violence or hate speech—not to shield the government from criticism. · Fact: The call for the Ministry of Information to intervene is particularly alarming. A government ministry directly censoring or "calling to order" media outlets for being critical is the definition of repression, not regulation. It creates a state-controlled media environment, which is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes, not vibrant democracies. 4. On "Freedom of Expression is not Freedom to Abuse" This is a truism, but it is being weaponized. "Abuse" in this context is not defined. Legal frameworks already exist to address genuine abuse, such as libel, slander, and incitement to violence. The solution for speech one disagrees with is not state suppression, but more speech—counter-arguments, debate, and factual rebuttals. The Paramount Importance of Accountability to Public Funds This entire debate often ignites precisely when the media is doing its most crucial job: demanding accountability for public funds. Here is why this is non-negotiable for a healthy society: 1. Public Funds are a Public Trust. · The money collected through taxes, levies, and state resources belongs to the people. Government officials and agencies are merely custodians or trustees of this money, not its owners. They have a sacred duty to manage it for the public good, not for private gain. 2. Accountability Prevents Corruption and Misappropriation. · Without relentless scrutiny, public funds are vulnerable to embezzlement, contract inflation, ghost worker schemes, and outright theft. A vigilant press acts as an early warning system, exposing corruption that would otherwise drain resources meant for hospitals, schools, roads, and security. 1/2

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: WHEN BROADCASTERS BECOME THE STORY When television anchors abandon professionalism for provocation, it becomes the duty of the station’s management to call them to order. But when that failure becomes routine, the National Broadcasting Commission must step in. What can be excused from a citizen’s podcast but we can not and must not be tolerated from a licensed national broadcaster. This madness must stop. @ARISEtv and its anchor, @ruffydfire, have crossed too many lines. They can not continue to constitute themselves into self-appointed prosecutors, judges, and enemies of the state under the guise of journalism. There is a difference between questioning power and attacking the very idea of order. The supervising Ministry of Information must not remain a bystander while citizens invited in good faith are subjected to insult, rudeness, partisan aggression, and empty intellectual showmanship. The media must enlighten, not incite. It must inform, not inflame. Let it be clear: freedom of expression is not freedom to abuse. Regulation is not repression it is the defence of sanity and national interest. The time has come to draw the line. Otunba Segun Showunmi The Alternative Movement.

This whole issue on Dangote is shocking and creating bad waves for Nigeria globally. - Akinwunmi Adesina Monopoly often exists where there are high barriers to entry or high capital costs. How many individuals or companies can do railways? How many can do refineries of the scale of Dangote Refineries? In a nation that has been importing refined petroleum products for several decades, the abnormal simply became very normal. No smart investor would make a $19.5 billion investment and want it to be undermined by importers. To manufacture is extremely expensive and risky. This is even more so in Nigeria, given the very challenging business and economic environment, fraught with policy uncertainties and policy reversals, and where the self-defeating default mode of “simply import it” is always so easily rationalized and chorused to solve any problem. Competition is good for everyone. But is Dangote refineries anti-competitive? What is the evidence? Has Dangote refineries prevented any other company from setting up refineries? Why have others not done so? How come they have not done so for several decades? Was it Dangote that held them back? But Dangote refineries surely cannot be asked to ‘compete’ with importers of petroleum products. That is not competition. Let the importers set up local refineries and compete by refining in Nigeria. That is fair and justified competition. We cannot and must not undermine, disparage or kill local industries, talk less of one that is of this scale — a jewel of industrialisation in Nigeria. It is more than simply delivering the cheapest product to the market. It is about domestic supply security, driving (and yes, protecting) globally competitive industries, maximizing forward and backward linkages in the local economy, job creation, reducing forex expenses and shoring up the Naira. We must not be myopic. This whole disparaging of Dangote is uncalled for. It is self-defeating. And it is very bad for Nigeria. Who will want to come and invest in a country that disparages and undermines its own largest investor? Investing is tough. Pettiness is easy. It sadly sends a signal that the price for sacrificing for Nigeria is to get sacrificed. Akinwunmi Adesina

Please assume I am lying and fact-check me: This photo was taken on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at Upton Park market in London by Ola Ajai, a female Briton of Nigerian descent, who is also a faculty member at Plymouth University. You can see the tubers of yam cut into two and sometimes even three or four. Why? Because yams are expensive, both in Nigeria, Ghana, and Europe. It is not everyone who can afford a whole tuber at once. Also, it is sometimes done to show that the yam is not rotten inside. In the past, many people buy tubers of yam, take them home and find that they are rotten and inedible inside, though they look fine on the outside. As a result, some traders will cut open the yams to show they are in good condition. Do not allow Emergency Lovers of Nigeria, who still harbour a grudge over the results of the #NigerianElections2023, to gaslight you into believing that things are suddenly bad in Nigeria because people cut yams for sale for various reasons. This is not a new practice; and it even happened before I was born and will still occur after we leave this planet. That is why Yeshua (Jesus) said: "The poor you will always have with you."-Matthew 26:11. #TableShaker

Women disproportionately face the devastating impact of #WATER crisis. Access to clean drinking water is not a PRIVILEGE but a #HUMANRIGHT Non-state actors can drive the implementation of good water policy programs to solve water crisis threat in rural & water- stressed areas

FIXED 💯 🚰🚰 Lack of dignified access to clean drinking water can be very devastating especially in water stressed communities. We must ensure a water secure world, for all by 2030. Water is a basic human right but it is also a finite resource. #sdg6 #water #WASH
