I feel like producers now make it a must to have an episode dedicated to ridiculing the Christian faith. Cause what was that nonsense with Homelander in episode 3.

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RE: A Counterintelligence Concern — Gilbert Chagoury, Hezbollah, and Nigerian State Capture Mr. President, I write to you as one University of Pennsylvania graduate to another — a man who has lived through political violence, studied the networks that enable it, and who feels a moral and civic obligation to bring a specific counterintelligence concern directly to your attention. My name is Kio Amachree. I am President of Worldview International, a diaspora activist and political commentator based in Stockholm, Sweden. Before I state my concern, permit me to establish my standing. My father, Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC, was Nigeria’s first Solicitor-General, first Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Acting Attorney-General of the Federation, and the first African in history to serve as Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations. He was a Queen’s Counsel of international distinction and served as General Gowon’s personal envoy to Washington during Nigeria’s civil war. My grandfather, Chief Sekin Amachree, participated in Nigeria’s 1958 pre-independence constitutional conference and advocated for Niger Delta minorities before the Willink Commission. Governance, law, and service to international institutions are not abstract concepts to my family. They are our inheritance. I was educated at Eton College and subsequently at the University of Pennsylvania, as you were educated at Wharton. I grew up in New York. I have worked on Wall Street and at Philip Morris World headquarters. I lived at Trump Plaza. I am highly connected within American, European, and African business and diplomatic circles, and we share many mutual friends and business associates. I write to you not as a political agitator but as a very concerned ally of the United States of America — one Penn graduate speaking directly to another. The Concern Mr. President, your administration has already demonstrated seriousness about state capture, corruption networks, and the threats they pose to American interests globally. Your strikes against ISIS in Nigeria on Christmas Day 2025, your sanctions against Haitian oligarchs financing gang violence, and your clear focus on countering anti-Christian persecution all demonstrate a willingness to act decisively when American interests and American values are under threat. I am writing to alert you to a specific counterintelligence problem that directly threatens American national security interests in Nigeria — Africa’s most populous nation and one of the continent’s most strategically important countries. The Man: Gilbert Chagoury Gilbert Chagoury is a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire businessman who has become the de facto power behind Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is unelected. He holds no official position. And yet he controls critical Nigerian infrastructure, operates as the President’s personal confidant, and has accumulated thirteen billion dollars in state contracts since Tinubu assumed office — all without competitive public bidding. What makes this a counterintelligence concern rather than merely a corruption concern is Chagoury’s documented history with your own law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The FBI Investigation The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated Gilbert Chagoury for alleged links to Hezbollah — the Iranian-backed militant organisation currently engaged in active armed conflict with Israel, a frontline American ally. This investigation occurred while Hezbollah was already formally designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States government. The investigation raised serious concerns about Chagoury’s financial connections to Hezbollah financing networks. The U.S. State Department Action Based on this investigation and related counterintelligence concerns, the U.S. State Department barred Gilbert Chagoury from entering the United States. He was denied entry on grounds that included allegations related to terrorism financing. This decision is on record in your State Department’s files. The man your own government barred from American soil on terrorism financing grounds is today the most powerful unelected figure in Nigerian governance. The Swiss Conviction In the year 2000, Swiss authorities convicted Gilbert Chagoury of money laundering. Investigators established that he had created accounts at a Geneva bank to facilitate the transfer of over $120 million looted from Nigeria’s central bank by the Abacha military dictatorship. He was convicted by a Swiss court. Not accused. Not investigated. Convicted. The U.S. Department of Justice Fine In 2021, Gilbert Chagoury and associates reached a resolution with your Department of Justice, paying $1.8 million in fines for making illegal campaign contributions to American politicians — including a sitting member of the United States Congress. These were contributions made in deliberate violation of U.S. federal election law. A sitting congressman was subsequently convicted and resigned over these contributions. The Current Situation: Thirteen Billion Dollars Mr. President, here is where the counterintelligence concern becomes acute. Since the election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria in 2023, Gilbert Chagoury’s influence has not diminished. It has accelerated dramatically. And it is being financed, in effect, by the Nigerian state — with the full knowledge and cooperation of a president who himself carries documented DEA and FBI files related to drug trafficking allegations. Nigeria’s president has criminal exposure to your own law enforcement agencies. His most powerful business associate has been investigated by your FBI for Hezbollah connections and barred from American soil. And together, they are consolidating control over Africa’s largest nation. The contracts awarded to Chagoury under Tinubu are as follows: In 2024, Chagoury’s Hitech Construction Company received the $11 billion Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract — awarded without competitive public bidding, in violation of Nigerian procurement regulations, and subsequently challenged in Nigerian courts. This single contract represents more than half of Nigeria’s entire annual national budget. In early 2025, another contract worth N1.1 trillion — approximately $700 million — was awarded to Chagoury’s subsidiary ITB Construction Nigeria for the reconstruction of Nigeria’s two major commercial ports, Tin Can and Apapa. Again, without competitive bidding. Again, to a company with no significant experience in seaport construction. Most recently, the lucrative Snake Island port terminal in Lagos — a 45-year concession worth hundreds of millions of dollars — was transferred to Chagoury Group interests. The President’s own son, Seyi Tinubu, sits on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, a Chagoury Group subsidiary. Leaked corporate documents reviewed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists further reveal that Seyi Tinubu was a majority shareholder in an offshore company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands alongside the son of Gilbert Chagoury’s brother. The financial and familial entanglement between the Tinubu presidency and the Chagoury empire is total. Tinubu himself publicly declared on Chagoury’s birthday: “With friends like him, one can sleep with a still mind.” It is well known in informed circles in Paris that Chagoury has been heard to boast that he owns Nigeria — that without him, that country is finished. The Strategic Threat to the United States Mr. President, permit me to be direct about why this matters to the United States of America. A man investigated by your FBI for connections to Hezbollah now controls critical Nigerian port infrastructure, a thirteen-billion-dollar construction empire financed by Nigerian state borrowing, and has the daily ear of a sitting African president. This is occurring while Israel and Hezbollah are actively at war. This is occurring while your administration is engaged in active military operations on Nigerian soil. Nigeria’s ports — including those now under Chagoury Group contracts — are strategic chokepoints for West African trade. Nigerian infrastructure financed through international borrowing, including instruments backed by UK Export Finance and international banks, flows through channels that intersect with the global financial system. If a man with alleged Hezbollah financing connections controls these assets, the implications for sanctions evasion, illicit financial flows, and terror financing are significant. Furthermore, the domestic Nigerian situation is deteriorating rapidly. The DSS — Nigeria’s State Security Service — is being weaponised to silence opposition and consolidate one-man rule ahead of the 2027 elections. Democratic institutions are being systematically captured. Opposition leaders are being persecuted through state security agencies. Your own Christmas strikes against ISIS in Nigeria were justified. But ISIS thrives in ungoverned space — and ungoverned space is precisely what is created when a captured state allows its institutions to collapse under the weight of one man’s ambition and one oligarch’s financial control. Thirteen billion dollars awarded to a man your FBI investigated for Hezbollah connections, by a president your DEA and FBI have files on, in a country where you have already committed American military resources. This is the situation I am bringing to your attention. My Recommendations I respectfully request that your administration take the following steps: First, direct the FBI and CIA to conduct a current assessment of Gilbert Chagoury’s operational activities in Nigeria, his financial flows, his infrastructure control, and his ongoing connections to Hezbollah financing networks in light of the current Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Second, direct the State Department to re-evaluate Chagoury’s designation as a national security concern and consider formal sanctions under existing counterterrorism and anti-money laundering authorities. Third, direct the Treasury Department and FinCEN to investigate potential sanctions evasion and illicit financial flows through Nigerian state contracts awarded to Chagoury Group entities. Fourth, engage the Nigerian government diplomatically at the highest level with a clear message: a president with documented criminal exposure to U.S. law enforcement who is simultaneously enriching a man previously barred from American soil on terrorism financing grounds is putting the U.S.-Nigeria strategic relationship at serious risk. In Closing Mr. President, I have spent my life in the corridors of international governance, finance, and diplomacy. I come from a family that built the legal and institutional foundations of an independent Nigeria. I was educated at Eton and at Penn. I worked on Wall Street. I lived in your building. I know many of the people you know. I have also lived through political violence in Jamaica. I have watched foreign-backed oligarchs capture Black nations and use their populations as instruments of personal enrichment. I have studied these networks for decades. And I am telling you — as a concerned ally of the United States, as a Penn graduate, as a son of one of Africa’s greatest legal minds — that what is unfolding in Nigeria right now represents a genuine counterintelligence threat to American interests. You have already acted in Nigeria. You have the authority, the intelligence resources, and the willingness to act again. I am asking you to direct that action at the right target. Gilbert Chagoury is bad news. He has been bad news for a very long time. And the fact that he is now operating at this scale, in this strategic environment, with this level of access to a sitting head of state, demands your personal attention. I am available to discuss this matter further at your earliest convenience. Respectfully and sincerely, Kio Amachree President, Worldview International Stockholm, Sweden Alumnus, Eton College Alumnus, University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) Former resident, Trump Plaza, New York Son of Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC First African Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Nigeria’s first Solicitor-General Grandson of Chief Sekin Amachree Participant, Nigeria’s 1958 Pre-Independence Constitutional Conference All factual claims in this letter are verified matters of public record: Swiss court conviction (2000), U.S. Department of Justice fine and resolution (2021), State Department visa denial, FBI investigation into Hezbollah connections, Nigerian contract awards (2024–2026), OCCRP and ICIJ investigative reporting on Tinubu-Chagoury financial relationships, and Tinubu’s documented DEA and FBI files.

This was you denying the death of the Brigadier General a few days ago. Today, you are authenticating what you initially called false news. You have no respect for the memory of a fallen General who paid the supreme price. Shameful!

PHOTO NEWS LATE BRIGADIER GENERAL BRAIMAH, OTHER FALLEN HEROES LAID TO REST WITH MILITARY HONOURS In a solemn and emotionally charged ceremony, the nation on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, laid to rest Late Brigadier General Omo Braimah, Captain Azubuike Michael Esimai, and other gallant soldiers who paid the supreme price in the line of duty. The burial, held at the Maimalari Cantonment Cemetery in Maiduguri, Borno State, was marked by deep sorrow, honour and reflection. Amidst grieving families and fellow comrades, the fallen heroes were accorded full military honours in recognition of their selfless service and unwavering commitment to the defence of the nation. Their sacrifice serves as a poignant reminder of the heavy price paid daily by members of the Armed Forces to safeguard the peace, unity and security of Nigeria. In attendance were the Executive Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, the Honourable Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (Rtd), the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff and other senior military officers, all gathered to honour the courage and dedication of the departed. In their tributes, the Governor, the Minister of Defence, the CDS, and the COAS described the fallen soldiers as true patriots who stood firm in the face of danger and made the ultimate sacrifice so that others might live in safety. They noted that their bravery and sense of duty will continue to inspire generations and remain etched in the nation’s history. With heavy hearts, prayers were offered for the peaceful repose of their souls, while citations detailing their service and sacrifice were read before their next of kin. The grief of their families underscored the human cost of the nation’s security efforts, even as their courage remains a source of pride and honour. As the nation mourns these heroes, it is reminded that the freedom and stability enjoyed today come at a profound cost, paid by brave men who placed duty above self and gave everything in service to their fatherland.

A notorious kidnapper has been identified by D English Alhaji. We have the DSS, military, and police, yet ordinary individuals are the ones investigating crimes in Nigeria. Security agencies only arrest critics of corrupt politicians and the Tinubu government.

Not a single sacrifice this President has made. When the economy is hardest, he makes zero sacrifice and lives large. Came into power and splurged on a new Jet, Yatch, mansion for VP, fleet of armored SUV, and billions for travel. Has a big cabinet with some of the most incompetent ministers we have seen. We now have an apartheid power supply system that has gotten worst. He goes off grid and splurges on solar. Fuel prices are high he mouths the same worthless CNG plan and tells Nigerians to be grateful. People are being killed in hundreds and lazily tweets 2 days later and when he manages go get himself to visit the victims, he addresses them at the airport. Every other day, something is being named after him. No decorum or class. Just embracing and encouraging shocking levels of subserviency from the shameless political class. Nigerians pay more for everything. A generation of young people are having their productive years wasted with no form of care or remorse. I have benefited absolutely nothing from Tinubu’s government. He promises better future that requires sacrifices. Sacrifices he has shown no interest in making. A leader should be an example. Make some sacrifices. Show you care. I don’t respect it!
