You didn’t just leave willingly, you left because you were ordered by the authorities to leave immediately, something you denied last night to massage your ego. Alex, we know you came to Nigeria with a clear mission to ignite anarchy by setting us against each other, but like many before you, that mission has failed. Nigeria is bigger than you and even those who sent you here.
Good riddance.

Bashir and Gumi! Now that I’ve left I’m expecting to see a peaceful Nigeria! No killing, kidnapping, burning, IED, ambushes… Since ISWAP, Fulani, and Boko are your brothers, tell them to take a masjid break.

You can write all the epistles you like, but there are things you simply cannot include in your epistle. You cannot include that Mehdi Hasan is a supporter of Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar. You cannot include that he is a secret member of the African Democratic Congress. You cannot include that he is an ethnic bigot or that he hates the All Progressives Congress.
What happened was very simple. A journalist did his homework. He researched his guest, pulled up the guest’s own past statements, and used those exact words to ask questions. That is basic journalism. Yet suddenly all the favour-seeking politicians and their defenders want to gaslight the situation, as if asking someone about their own recorded words is now an attack.
Nobody put those words in his mouth. Nobody manufactured those clips. A journalist simply brought the receipts and asked the questions. Now the spin machine wants to turn preparation into bias.
And thank God he is not one of those Nigerians whose mouths have been sealed with cellotape out of fear of persecution.

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.

Watching the interview between Mehdi Hasan and Daniel Bwala critically, one thing becomes clear: much of the exchange was directed more at Bwala the person than at Nigeria the subject.
And because we are often very emotional in our political reactions, many viewers walked away discussing Bwala’s past, not Nigeria’s present challenges.
Ask many of Bwala’s critics today:
What exactly did you learn about Nigeria from that interview?
You will likely discover that most of the excitement is not about policy, governance, or national issues. Instead, the focus is on Bwala’s previous statements, his political migration, and clips from the past that many Nigerians already knew about long before the interview.
So one must ask: What was truly new?
This is a common debate tactic—shift the battlefield from substance to personality. Once the conversation revolves around the individual rather than the issue, the audience begins to judge credibility instead of arguments.
Unfortunately, emotional reactions often help this tactic succeed. We then major in the minor and minor in the major. Instead of interrogating the deeper questions about Nigeria policy direction, governance outcomes, and national priorities the public discourse becomes centered on whether Bwala was embarrassed, contradicted, or exposed.
In the end, the national conversation risks becoming about a man (Bwala) rather than about a country.

🚨 Galatasaray is a dangerous club.
Organising a choreography to honour Osimhen’s late mother is a dangerous move by the club.
If you are ambitious and you still want to join another team, please don't join Gala, they will tie you down with paparazzi & make you look ungrateful.
The club is very wise. With all this love for Osimhen, it will be difficult for him to leave that club.

No wonder Nasir @elrufai boasted that he would unseat President Tinubu in 2027. Has he also tapped the INEC Chairman's phone number?
It now makes sense why they wanted real-time transmission of election results. If they can tap a whole National Security Adviser's phone number, is it INEC IREV and BVAS they cannot hack?
Nasir el-Rufai, keep talking. Keep digging. Keep exposing yourself.

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
PRESIDENT TINUBU ORDERS ARMY TO MOVE INTO KAIAMA, CONDEMNS TERRORIST ATTACK, MOURNS VICTIMS
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the deployment of an army battalion to Kaiama Local Government, Kwara State, where Boko Haram terrorists overnight killed hapless villagers in Worro.
President Tinubu said the new military command will spearhead Operation Savannah Shield to checkmate the barbaric terrorists and protect defenceless communities.
He condemned the cowardly and beastly attack and described the gunmen as heartless for choosing soft targets in their doomed campaign of terror.
President Tinubu expressed rage that the attackers killed the community members who rejected their obnoxious attempt at indoctrination, choosing instead to practice Islam that is neither extreme nor violent.
"It's commendable that the community members, even though Muslims, refused to be conscripted into a weird belief that promoted violence over peace and dialogue," he said.
The President urged collaboration between federal and state agencies to provide succour to members of the community and ensure those who committed the atrocities do not go scot-free.
President Tinubu prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased and condoled with those who lost family members. He also condoled with the people and the government of Kwara State.
