If you are an analytically minded Nigerian, please listen to this Liberian know seems to know about the intricacies of Nigeria more than most Nigerians. If I tell you that I didn't learn anything new today, I lie to you. Please this footage is not for everybody.

@DavidHundeyin The audacity to pay an insulting amount of $500

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with. Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28." The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below. Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it. The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited. I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer. It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do. I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop. It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us. I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself. Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those. It will never be me.

@ShehuSani Bring your people out of poverty before you speak about east. You've not earned that privilege.

It’s all quiet on the Eastern front while Shops and Government buildings are torched and looted in other parts of the country.Hoodlums snatching phones,burning offices,damaging traffic lights and looting shops are not peaceful protesters.

The problem we are facing in nigeria

@Princeliadaniel @General_Oluchi The Lombardi of onicha dreads needs to come off his head so he can think properly.

@General_Oluchi Nah here I dey since ooo, people just dey reason like goat

A supermarket that discriminates against Nigerians was recently shut down. The same Nigerians that FCCPC is trying to protect their rights are on social media asking: “Do they sell Nigerian food?” “Will Nigerians buy what they sell?” “Why close the store?” “Maybe the store has good reasons not to sell to Nigerians.” Are you mad?? If you continue to think this way, then it’s time to visit a voodoo doctor to check if someone used your head for sacrifice to the gods, because no sane human thinks this way! You can enable every bad thing in a society and claim sanity. You guys are embarrassing!

@PIDOMNIGERIA She would've made Alison mmadueke look like a saint

@drkunlala @CustomsNG This kind of dedication is very commendable.. Good one officer, we're proud of you

A big shoutout to this decent Nigerian Customs officer - Mr Eli Molta, at the Muritala Mohammed Int’l Airport, Ikeja. Courteous, professional and very supportive. Obviously, I was expecting extortion at the border entry point, hence the recording. This gentleman not only guided me on how to pay my duty on imported PS5, he provided internet and mailed by receipt to me without expecting anything in return. Keep it up bro.

@CustomsNG The police, the army, the civil defense, the customs and even the immigration officers.. get your acts together

@CustomsNG Your staffs are used to extortion, she got got because she was sloppy.. it is high time you all civil servants should sit up, if you don't love your jobs or think it pays less please kindly quit and stop portraying Nigeria with the bad image. We are tired of the extortion from
