Bobs, I really, really liked Buhari. Called him "My General". I supported him long before anyone I knew. Voted for him from 2007 to 2015. Created his Facebook fan page in 2009 and grew it to 200K members. [interesting fact: during the post election 2011 riots when everyone was calling on Buhari to issue a statement condemning the riots, I issued one from the fan page and the press ran with it. I hope it helped douse the tension.] For the 2015 elections, I was on his bandwagon before the primaries. Even took a selfie with him Dec 2014 - not sure any one did before me. It was easy to believe him and the alternative wasn't a choice. On the day before the elections I was setting up a call center in Kaduna. And returned to Lagos that same day to vote for him in Lekki. I remember the inauguration, there was just so much hope. Tears may have welled up in my eyes as he took his oath of office. Then declared "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody" There is a video I have from that day I may share today. A massive crowd of "urchins" broke through the barricade by Eagles Square but all they wanted was to wave. After the elections I met with him at Defence House Abuja. If I wanted a job in the administration, all I needed to do was hang around as I was part of TBO - The Buhari Organization led by Hameed Ali, his Chief of Staff. But I had a startup to run and I don't do "hangers on". I was confident the delay in appointing ministers was due to his waiting to implement The Oronsaye report. What a disappointment he turned out to be. He's the last politician that can ever disappoint me the way he did. By 2018, I don comot had for e matter. But man, the guy had absolute carriage, poise and charisma. At the same time, lacked any level of depth. Had so many blind spots. Placed loyalty first and no care for competence and had a retinue of who is who of corruption around him. Of course, the Shite massacres and October 20th Lekki Massacre will forever remain stains on him. As with every human, the story is complex. But here is a man that Nigeria gave everything to and he gave her his minimum in return. But did he have more to give? I doubt it. Anyway, he's dead now and I definitely feel no joy. I just feel sad that a story that could have ended in so much glory, is bleh. Ah well.. farewell, General Muhammadu Buhari.

Dyggggg I’m literally tired of telling people in this law school I’m not Hausa. You specifically tell them and they keep insisting I’m Hausa. Yoruba people especially. I’ve decided to call them whatever I deem fit.

Anyways, I’m here to remind y’all again🫩

Headache I’ve had for almost 48 hours, kissing solved it. If you like, use NSAIDs and damage your vitals

NIGERIA'S GOVERNORSHIP DISTRIBUTION: 2007 VS 2026

Where was this defense when Ezra lost his Paystack role over something similar? What is good for Greece is also good for Uganda.

How do you claim to speak for Yoruba women but have blocked almost half of the ones who speak against targeted hate on Yoruba women and cultural theft? I don't really get this. There's clearly a divide here. Intersectional Yoruba feminists vs lekkified feminists

I don't think anyone should lose their job for stupidity over 13 years ago to be very honest. Disturbing as those tweets were.

This isn't a case of someone is bad. Its a case of bigotry against Yoruba Women. Like particularly women and girls. You'd think someone's feminism would prevent them from doing that, you'd think the bigotry would be non-gender specific or at men. Its was 2013 though
