See the nonsense we are normalising? How much does it cost to build a house in Abuja?🤨

@Omojuwa @OgbeniDipo @FranceInNigeria 😂😂 Not sure they'll like the updated one much....

@OgbeniDipo @FranceInNigeria In good faith, I stepped down my article. I don dey update am.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you @FranceInNigeria, you are far too kind. J'aurais écrit ceci en français, mais mon français n'est pas assez fort pour ce que je ressens à ce sujet. S'il vous plait. Merci. My passport has been returned by @FranceInNigeria. Eight (8) weeks they held it. In their characteristic generosity toward Africans, they have issued me a visa for six (6) weeks. Let me be clear about what this means in context. This is the shortest Schengen visa I have ever received from the French Embassy. My first, over a decade ago, was six months. The one before this lasted a year. The one before that, a year. There is a four-year Schengen visa somewhere in my records. On the very passport now graced with this extraordinary six-week stamp sit multiple-year visas from the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Canada. Six weeks. For eight weeks of custody. The mathematics of French generosity toward Africa is its own genre. Thank you @EmmanuelMacron. I know people who got their passports back after my first tweet on this matter. One had hers held for five weeks (5). It came back without a visa. No stamp. Just a passport returned having contributed nothing to her life but five weeks of immobility. Thankfully, they did not minute on it; a small mercy in an otherwise graceless process. Graceful, I meant to write. This is not new territory for me. My very first engagement with the French Embassy over a decade ago ended in a visa rejection that came with written text stamped directly onto my passport. I wrote them a four-page letter demanding they never deface a Nigerian passport that way again; mine or anyone else's. I want to acknowledge that they have honoured that. Some things, at least, can be changed by speaking clearly. Some bad faith readers will conclude this six-week visa is punishment for calling them out publicly. I reject that interpretation entirely. I prefer to see it as consistent with France's broader approach to the continent — an approach the France-Africa Summit in Nairobi will no doubt reaffirm with great warmth, generous speeches, and many photographs. A pattern, not an anomaly. I will be writing a full article next week to express my appreciation to @FranceInAfrica in the spirit this moment deserves. I write this ready to bear whatever consequences follow. But I will write. After all, it's a love letter. Merci beaucoup. cc @NigeriaMFA @BTOofficial @Ojukwu_Bianca @France24 @abikedabiri @francediplo_EN @GermanyInAfrica @officialABAT @WilliamsRuto @CNNAfrica @BBC @FRANCE24 @ARISEtv @DW_GMF @dwnews

Step 1 ✅️ Step 2 - a candidate the voters can get behind. We might have a competitve presidential election after all!✊🏽 #NigeriaDecides2027

.@elrufai has been accussed of bailable offenses. 3 govt institutions - @officialEFCC @icpcnigeria & @OfficialDSSNG are dancing atilogu to keep him incarcerated for as long as possible.🤡🤡 The judiciary as a willing tool in these political games is very dangerous. Hmm...

Thanks. But life doesn't have to be this difficult.😒 That we make it through and wear it as a badge of honour breaks something in us each day! The trauma we carry .... Hmmm.....

Reminds me of #Nigeria where the rep to the UN has multiple pending court cases alleging all sorts of criminality.🤡🤡

For elections, a simple matter adjourned to 2027.🤡 One of Africa's oldest traditional stools turned to bants. Shout macro reforms all you want, destroying instutions is very costly. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." JFK

12 years.😥 An event that shook a nation and the world has become commonplace and we are unmoved.😒 The loss of our shared humanity is quite a tragedy. We keep demanding - bbog-global.ng/chibokgirls-12… #BringBackOurGirls

@elonmusk - Human Rights desk is closed. Wonder appreciate your help.😊 Some controversy about #Nigeria's election management body. It would seem the Chair is partisan, but the sequence of account name changes don't quite add up and he's denied owning an X account. Thanks!

Always excited to show off what is possible when sensible people are in positions of authority. The @UnilagNigeria VC is certainly one and I'm so proud of what she's doing at the school!🥰 Congrats Prof Ogunsola & Unilag on the launch of the AI UNIPOD today!🥳🥳 #MyNigeria

Thursday, we dialogue. Again.😌 Obj at 89 is an interesting choice for keynote but love him or hate him, his love for Nigeria is undisputed.🥰 Join us @ 11am. #MyNigeria #OfficeOfTheCitizen

This was less than a year to the 2015 elections. Kwara, Borno, Plateau. Less than one year to the 2027 elections, @officialABAT's record is even worse than GEJ's.😡😡 He certainly deserves a query. #NigeriaDecides2027 #OfficeOfTheCitizen

Kwara is an APC state Borno is an APC state Plateau is a new APC state Abductions and killings in the last month. I'm just saying .... if you think party affiliation will protect you, think again.🤡🤡 Selah.🌸

Guys, the soul of Nigeria must go beyond party affiliation. What is bad is bad. Period! Foreign Affairs is running for Gov NSA might also leave. 8 years max, abi? "security & welfare" is the purpose of govt o!! Blood cries and God avenges. Selah.🌸

See what the governor of the Sunshine State is up to.😔 I'm thinking he wants to deliver Ondo for BAT so his 3rd term agenda can find new life. Na lie!!!🤡🤡 Can you just focus on working as the public servant that you are? Iz not hard!🙄

After the negotiations, I hope opposition can sell something meaningful.🤔 Because the rate these folks are sweeping away decorum, it's scary!🤨 Statehouse WhatsApp Channel advertising APC Convention??🤡🤡 STATE HOUSE!! Discontent in a democracy is shown at the ballot. Selah.✊🏽
