I used to doubt this guy until I decided to study Syria and Iraq. When I looked into Syria and Iraq, I found out that the Christians in Syria and Iraq are massacred by ISIS and Al-Qaida, not the Syrian military under al-Assad or the Iraqi military under this present Iraqi government. Guess what?? The person that used to kill Christians and other indigenous minority tribes in Syria, who took pictures of him carrying human heads like football was sponsored by America and Israel to overthrow al-Assad and took over Syria. The overthrowing of al-Assad came with gruesome killings that took place all over the country became too irritating to watch. No Western countries condemned such barbaric and indiscriminate killing of the Syrians. None! If the US and Israel, despite claiming to be fighting terrorism, can choose a wanted terrorist, arm him to over a legitimate government, who are they to tell you that they don't sponsor terrorism?? Since they can't put boots on the ground without people criticising them, they do their dirty job by funding terrorists in that location to do their job. You remember Trump calling on separatist groups within Iran to fight the government in Tehran when he invaded Iran?? A week today, the EU signed an agreement with Nigeria not to kill terrorists but reintegrate them back into the society before the chief of army staff came out to tell us how terrorists are prodigal sons. Maybe you have been wondering why the Nigerian government have been reintegrating these terrorists back into the society, some of them joining the military, now you understand why. You remember how Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso chased France away from their soil all because they accused the French for arming Islamic terrorists in their countries and also giving them intel during operation which often sabotage their progress in dealing with insurgencies in their countries.. These countries had a coup and they're doing better today. Do you still remember?? Let's keep thinking it's that Christian Vs Muslim, Igbo Vs Hausa Vs Yoruba, PDP Vs APC Vs ADC, etc. Until we ask: — Why are these illiterate terrorists given more sophisticated weapons than our military?? — Who is giving them intelligence? — Why are these terrorists going live on Tiktok without them being picked up by the security forces?? — Why do Nigerian politicians like governors and president regardless of their religion and tribe seem not to care about these killings?? — Which terrorists have American army killed since they entered Nigeria Etc... Until we begin to ask questions, our redemption is far.

Uhmmmm...

Nothing. To. Add. 🇳🇬

I can’t even lie, This thing always bursts my brain. And here it is: let me share it with you. Israel and Saudi Arabia are very intelligent countries for successfully selling the idea to billions of people in the world that a piece of land and building in their country is “holy land” and it is “religious duty” to leave your own country and visit to see/touch it. From a tourism and revenue point of view, this is absolute genius from Israel and Saudi Arabia. You have foolish countries like Nigeria who have a government-funded program to send people on religious pilgrimages to this country. Imagine so stupid as a country that you dedicate your own government money to fund another country’s tourism project. PS- I have no issues with anybody visiting any country they want for whatever reasons they choose. AS LONG AS they are spending their own money and government money is not used to fund a personal religious vacation. But of course, as a poor stupid country, we dedicate money we don’t have to fund pilgrimage travels and contribute tourism revenue to countries far richer than we are. Just think about how stupid the Nigerian government is. Of course I expect the mental slaves and volunteer idiots to gather and cry under this tweet.

In my opinion, there were 2 main failures (failures I was also guilty of). 1. We did not properly define the end point of our resistance action. What did we want exactly? Because once Buhari put out that official announcement that he had disbanded SARS, he'd already won. All further action after that was immediately labelled as "youthful, energetic confusionists" or "opposition-backed insurrectionists trying to bring down the government after the government already gave them what they asked for," and those labels stuck. In my opinion, defining our entire movement as simply "End SARS" and nothing more was in hindsight, a dumb move. We all knew the many things we were angry about, and police brutality was merely one of them. We had just come out of a disastrous foreign-imposed lockdown where 60% of people with a formal job in Nigeria had just become unemployed, and youth unemployment briefly touched 70%. We had just seen politicians hoarding palliatives and soldiers shooting people dead for going out to buy bread during the lockdown. We had seen FIRS come on Twitter begging corporates to pay tax early because the federation account was empty, and it was clear that Nigeria was being run like a mismanaged neighbourhood provisions store. We all knew deep down the many things we were actually angry about, but we allowed our entire scope of anger to be collapsed and framed into a single, easily managed entity called "End SARS." If we had properly defined our movement as a total rebellion against everything that the Nigerian state stood for, the violent response would have come a lot sooner, and instead of scaring us indoors, it would have had the effect that Bouazizi setting himself on fire in Tunisia did in 2011. It would have become completely unmanageable, and the Buhari government would have collapsed. At that point, we would have had a military takeover, and given the events in the Sahel over the subsequent 3 years, Nigeria might be part of the AES right now and Africa would be having a completely different conversation. 2. After it kicked off, we allowed "strong voices" to gain too much power - and I was one of those strong voices. Celebrities, social media influencers, pop culture cool cats, journalists, "activists"™️ - too many people had too much say in what everybody should or should not do. I didn't want to be the guy responsible for inciting people to risk their lives, so at a point I was here tweeting that people should "protest peacefully" even though "peaceful protest" was the very last thing anyone should have been doing. Musicians were showing up and turning rally venues into concerts. Social media clout artists introduced "fundraising" and then all of a sudden, "fundraising" and everyone associated with it became the epicentre of the movement. Civil Society Activists™️ came in and elbowed their way to the microphone. All of a sudden some people started designing posters with "5 Demands" and doing Zoom meetings with powerful businessmen. The sum total of allowing all this parasitic infiltration and analysis-paralysis was that certain people who were not involved with the sequence of events that kicked off on September 30, and had no ideological investment in it were able to "call off" a protest they did not convene and leave everyone who remained outside to become roadkill. If Nigeria is to ever have a successful people's revolution, a critical mass of informed people at its core must clearly define, understand, and agree on what exactly we are fighting for and how. There must be a clear understanding that it is a PEOPLE-LED revolution, not to be quenched, misdirected or infiltrated by professional self-promoters, political performance artists and agents of state.

This is MKO Abiola’s campaign jingle in 1993. Watch it and listen to the problems Nigeria had 33years ago. You can use the same advert song without changing any word in it in 2026 and it will still be very relatable today.

When it’s your day, it’s your day.

The biggest failure of my Nigerian parents' generation was their complete inability to pass on any ideas or ideology of subtance to their children. The ONLY thing they taught their children was "Jesus" and "Muhammad". And those unfortunate children have grown up with Christianity and Islam making up their entire personality. They have nothing else upstairs. Ask the people from that empty-headed generation any question that requires actual thinking or philosophy, and watch how intellectually empty their reply is. "How can I succeed in life?" >50 y.o. Nigerian dummy: "Fear God, pray everyday, don't expose your private parts, read your books in school, Fear God..." "How do I find and keep the right partner?" Elderly Nigerian grave-dodger: "Go to church every week, pray endlessly, maintain your fajinity, and fear God..." "How can we fix Nigeria and make it somewhere people don't need to run away from?" 65 year-old Nigerian oxygen hoarder: "The whole country needs to pray for divine intervention to torsh the hearts of awa lidaz..." An entire generation of olodos who raised even worse dummies than them, but somehow all believe that they did the world a favour by birthing children they had nothing intellectual to pass on to. Everyone else in the world who couldn't pass on economic capital to their children could at least pass on intellectual and moral capital. All that these cemetery-evading dumbos passed on to us was "Fear God, pray, develop a neurotic obsession with your sex organs and everything that has to do with them, pray, and fear God some more." This is the inheritance we were supposed to build into our competitive advantage in a world where serious people live? Damn.

Adulting is realizing; 1. You will die, and most people won’t care after a while. 2. People use you until you’re no longer useful. 3. Most people secretly want you to fail. 4. One day you’ll wish you started today. 5. Most people fake happiness while dying inside. 6. No one is coming to save you. 7. You’ll be judged no matter what you do. 8. Your health is your greatest wealth. 9. Happiness is temporary—discipline is permanent. 10. Success takes longer than you think. 11. No one respects weakness, even if they sympathize. 12. Complaining changes nothing. 13. Not everyone you love will love you back. 14. Money won’t solve all your problems—but it solves most. 15. Social media lies to you every day. 16. You’re replaceable at your job. 17. Life is unfair—get used to it. 18. One day, you’ll run out of days. 19. Regret hurts more than failure. 20. Nobody cares about your excuses. Work harder The earlier you understand this, the better and easier your life gets.
