NO, I AM NOT OK WITH OBI-KWANKWASO — AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE, EITHER I like Peter Obi. I am not sold on him yet, but he has potential and I have an open mind. What will close my mind instantly, without any wiggle room, is an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket. Nigeria does not need more of the same. It does not need different gasoline running through the same engine. It does not need a different conductor on the train — not when the train has to follow the same damnable tracks. Why am I against Kwankwaso? Simple. He is the Sultan's man. Most inside of the inner circle. A sniveling bootlicker to Sokoto in a five-decade career arc that has changed parties five times — PDP to APC to NNPP to ADC to NDC — but never once strayed from fealty to the throne. When the future Sultan was — as a senior officer of an OIC nation — operating in the shadows during the war on terror, his assignment from the Nigerian government assignment was to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Every active jihadi theater of the post-9/11 era. One Nigerian Defense Attache who is a descendant of Muhammed. Five radical Islamic countries. Three years. There are only two other people in the Nigerian government who knew what he was up to. The President. And Kwankwaso, who was serving as Defense Minster at the time. Incidentally — when the future Sultan returned from this post in 2006, not long after, the top ten reform-minded generals of the Nigerian Army died in a plane crash. The committee Obasanjo had assembled to clean up the military, gone in one flight. A few weeks later, the sitting Sultan, his son and heir Senator Badamasi Maccido, and several grandchildren were killed in another plane crash. The Abuja airport radar was turned off when their plane went down. The Aviation Minister declared it pilot error within 24 hours. The President ordered arrests of aviation officials within 48. Question closed. The future Sultan was turbaned four days later. Record time. Skipping past Maccido's surviving adult sons and past dozens of older brothers in the line — Sa'ad Abubakar was the youngest of 52 children of Sultan Siddiq Abubakar III. The Sultanate Council reached past all of them. And not long after that, all those terrorist groups from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia started showing up in Nigeria — where they have been slaughtering Christians and raping the land ever since. The Defence Minister through every one of those events was Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. That is not the only stain on his record. As Governor of Kano State, Kwankwaso formally declared Sharia law on June 21, 2000, and established the Hisbah Board — the religious enforcement agency that has been arresting Kano residents for "improper dress" and "indecent mixing of the sexes" ever since. He lost his re-election in 2003 anyway, for being insufficiently Islamic for the Kano clerical establishment. Obasanjo handed him the Defence Ministry the same year. When he returned as Kano Governor from 2011 to 2015, he left behind allegations that he misappropriated roughly N10 billion in pension contributions from Kano state workers. The EFCC interrogated him over it in 2021 and sealed his property. The investigation has stalled. A separate panel found that the EFCC chairman at the time had personally directed his operatives not to investigate Kwankwaso. Today his nephew Musa Garba is under criminal investigation in Kano for a multi-billion-naira pharmaceutical procurement fraud allegedly tied to a contract awarded to his company without due process. Kwankwaso is publicly accused of interfering with the investigation to protect him. Sharia. Hisbah. Pension funds. Pharmaceutical contracts. The defence ministry during a genocide. A different party every cycle. And now the vice presidency. That is why I will actively oppose any ticket with Kwankwaso on it. No matter who is on top. Peter Obi, if you want my open mind, pick a running mate who is not a puppet of the Sultan. #EarthShaker @PeterObi

Western economists have low and pitiful standards. Their standards are "make capitalist economics look good" lmao. You get more rigor from an undergraduate writing a life science review paper ⚰️

I wrote this thread, last year - as a subject authority. This year, the Nigerian ginger sector has crashed. The news I'm reading is that - ginger farmers were given GMO seeds which caused fungal blight and wiped out our entire export base. I warned you.


Vietnam was devastated by decades of war, bombings, and failed socialist policies, yet it began growing rapidly once it liberalized parts of its economy. Ethiopia was never colonized, yet for decades it was it was the poster child of poverty and famine on the continent. History matters, but so do the economic policies countries choose today.

Walter Rodney was wrong. Africans are poor because too many African countries make it hard to start businesses, get permits, access reliable electricity, trade freely, protect property, enforce contracts, attract investment, and keep the rewards of hard work. Singapore is richer than Britain, its former colonizer. Switzerland, which never built a colonial empire, is richer than Spain and Portugal, two of the greatest imperial powers in history.

Leftism was always a pseudo radical movement. They don’t want to smash the system and eat the rich. They want to control the system and become the rich.
