I was in Nairobi a few days ago for my premiere and I spent a few hours with @wmnjoya at the Sarit Centre rooftop area.
You could barely move because of how many people there were. People were out with their families spending money and enjoying a day out. Literally hundreds of people. By the way, Kenya is not by any means a successful economy, but the visible symbols of commercial activity in Nairobi are undeniably busy. Commerce is actually taking place there.
And then there is Nigeria. Every single time I meet someone who just came from there, I hear the same thing - all the shops and malls are empty. People go into malls to buy one item and take pictures, because the mere experience of going to the mall has become out of reach for most regular people. You have no idea how much this pisses me off!
I've been warning for years that Nigeria is being deliberately steered into complete irrelevance. Uber makes more money in Nairobi than Lagos - and Lagos has 4 times Nairobi's population! Africa's largest population centre is increasingly being treated as if it has no more economic importance than Lesotho or Eswantini!
I fucking hate this shit!

So he left. Used the money for something else entirely. Months later, something nudged him to check back.
The land was still there. The seller said buyers just... stopped coming.
I sat with that for a minute.
Because how many times have we forced doors that weren't ready to open? Panicked, overbid, over-explained, bent ourselves out of shape, for something God already had reserved with our name on it?
The land didn't go anywhere.

This morning I watched a YouTube video and Bishop Oyedepo said something that stopped me mid-scroll.
He talked about a land his church needed. They found the perfect one, went to negotiate, but the money wasn't complete.
He asked the seller if 30% could work with the rest paid in installments.
The seller said no.

Someone in the comment asked what caused the disease and how a disease wiped out ginger farms so aggressively across Nigeria.
But in my opinion, the real problem started long before the blight outbreak itself.
It started with the way we farmed.
Most ginger farmers don’t use fungicides as preventive protection then.
They only spray after the fungal infection has already appeared.
That is like waiting for your roof to collapse before trying to stop the rain.
We only started making changes and started preventive methods now.
Then there’s another issue nobody talks about enough:
For decades, we kept recycling the same ginger seed varieties over and over again without introducing stronger, disease-resistant varieties from research institutes.
Over time, the local varieties gradually lost their natural resistance and became more vulnerable to attacks.
Now combine that with continuous planting on the same farmlands year after year
The fungus didn’t even need to struggle anymore.
The infected soils simply kept reinfecting new crops every season.
Same land.
Same seed genetics.
Same farming methods.
And eventually, one major outbreak was enough to expose all the weaknesses that had been building quietly for years.
That’s my submission.

THE DARK STORY BEHIND GINGER EXPORT CRASH YALL DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT Everybody keeps saying Nigeria’s ginger export crashed because of banditry. That’s not what really happened. And the real story is far more terrifying than most people realize. For months now, I’ve been seeing misinformation flying around about why Nigeria’s ginger export numbers dropped so badly. First of all… The export numbers did NOT drop to zero like some people are exaggerating online. But yes, the drop was catastrophic. And the biggest reason behind it traces back to one event: The devastating ginger blight outbreak that hit Southern Kaduna in 2023. Not banditry. Not insecurity. A disease. Now before some of you twist this, let me be clear: There have been speculations and conspiracy theories claiming some organizations intentionally sabotaged the ginger industry. I don’t have facts or reliable evidence to confirm that. So we will leave that part for the conspiracy theorists. But what CAN be confirmed is this: That fungal disease changed the ginger industry in Nigeria forever. And I genuinely think many people still don’t understand how deep the damage really went. Because what happened was not just “farm losses.” An entire agricultural economy collapsed almost overnight. Before 2023, ginger was still a moderately priced spice in Nigeria. A bag sold for around ₦30k–₦45k. Average farmers could still afford to enter the business. Then the blight came. And according to reports from affected areas, farmers experienced devastating losses estimated around 90–95% of yield. Entire fields were wiped out. Imagine investing your savings into a crop… Paying for land preparation. Buying seeds. Hiring labor. Applying fertilizers. Weeding for months. Then suddenly everything starts dying in front of your eyes. That was the reality for thousands of ginger farmers in Southern Kaduna. Some farmers became neck deep in debts they still haven’t recovered from. Some panicked and abandoned ginger completely for other crops. Some reportedly committed suicide after losing millions. But the majority of them faced something even more dangerous long term: They got completely priced out of ginger farming. Because after the blight destroyed supply… Ginger prices exploded. A crop that used to sell for ₦30k–₦45k per bag suddenly climbed as high as ₦650,000 per bag. And once that happened, it triggered a deadly domino effect. The price of ginger seeds exploded too. Now this is the part many people don’t understand. Ginger is propagated using seed rhizomes. Meaning farmers need ginger itself as planting material. So once market prices skyrocketed… Seed prices became insane. A bag of ginger seed started selling for ₦500k–₦600k. Now pause and think about this carefully: It takes about 25 bags of ginger seed just to cultivate ONE acre. ONE acre. That means an acre that would normally cost around ₦1.1 million to seed and cultivate… Suddenly started requiring an average of ₦12.5 million. For just one acre. That was the moment the average ginger farmer got erased from the game. Not because bandits chased them away from their farms. But because the economics no longer made sense for ordinary farmers. The barriers to entry became too high. The risks became terrifying. And most farmers simply could not afford to return. Now the few farmers with enough money, grit, and risk tolerance to continue planting ginger are forced to sell at even higher prices just to remain profitable. Which then keeps seed prices high. Which then prevents smaller farmers from returning. And that has created a vicious cycle trapping the entire industry. Low supply. High prices. Expensive seeds. Fewer farmers. Even lower supply. Today, ginger farming in Southern Kaduna has transformed into something completely different from what it used to be. It is no longer a crop the average farmer can casually venture into. 👇🏽👇🏽👇

@onu_slim @aproko_doctor @MI_Abaga @layiwasabi I hope you guys are enjoying your slush funds from bill gates. You have blood in your hands and should really be ashamed of yourselves for selling out your country.

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.

@ElemSunny The very reason these politicians are brazenly ripping us and flaunting our common wealth in our faces and we're not as much as able to come out to protest because someone might die. People are dieing anyways from the consequences of their actions. Life of a coward.

@ElemSunny You guys like to pontificate. What words do you guys have for the dishonourable MHR who thinks he can just grab another man's wife at will. A very crude looking man. The husband is emotionally broken and not acting rationally but he is the victim here. The outrage should go 2 MHR

That viral video is another reminder that emotional pain can make people forget survival instincts.
If infidelity truly happened, the Bible already recognizes it as grounds for divorce. Painful? Yes. But still something that can be handled with wisdom, evidence, and self-control.
But what exactly did the public confrontation achieve?
Did it restore trust?
Did it repair the marriage?
Did it improve the man’s dignity?
No.
Instead, one emotional moment could have ended in prison, injury, or death. As we speak, people are serving long jail terms for manslaughter because of things like this. Is it worth it?
Not every betrayal deserves a public wrestling match.
Sometimes the smartest thing to protect is not the relationship again… but your own life, freedom, and future.

As of today 4th may 2026 Nobody has picked Labour Party Presidential ticket, this is what happens when you think you have arrived because you experienced a one time boom 💥. Peter Obi was the reason for your success but your party leadership failed 😞
The Labour Party releases its 2027 election timetable, setting fees for its nomination forms. Presidential aspirants will pay N50m, while Gov. Otti is exemption from paying.
A party that was talk of the country just 3 years ago cannot secure one strong politician to come and run for presidency under them, they have resorted to offering Abia state Governor Alex Otti free presidential ticket if he declares interest but the Governor is not succumbing to their offer.
You people have learnt the hard way now back to trenches except in Abia State.

This morning, in Lagos, I met with the U.S. Consul General, Mr Rick Swart, where we discussed strengthening the bilateral relationship. We focused on promoting credible elections in Nigeria, ensuring they are free from interference, and fostering a space where all political parties, especially opposition parties can thrive, and contribute.
We also discussed trade and business opportunities between our countries. Accompanying me to the meeting was Dr Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo.
The discussion was very productive, and we are hopeful that, moving forward, Nigeria’s elections will be even more credible and transparent. -PO

When I said yesterday that the defection of HE Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso from the ADC to NDC is part of the original plan that was designed by the coalition of opposition parties, some political novices and children thought i was just bluffing.
But here is the plan, according to the master strategist of all times, HE Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai: Obi will pair with Kwankwaso, while Atiku pairs Ameachi. If the northerners do not want to vote for a Christian, they have Atiku, they can vote for him. If the obedients and southern Christians, on the other hand, do not want a northerner to take power from Tinubu, they have Peter Obi to vote for. Either ways, it's a win for the coalition. The ultimate goal is to take Tinubu out of power and bring the country back on track.
In addition to the above, and according to the political mathematics of our ever-brilliant Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, either the ticket of Peter Obi/Kwankwaso or Atiku/Ameachi will come 1st and 2nd in 2027 election, then bringing Tinubu to a 3rd position. That's why he said on an interview that there may be a tie between the ticket of 0bi/Kwankwaso and Atiku/Ameachi which may lead to a run-off.
The exit of Kwankwaso and Obi from the ADC, therefore, is not a political misstep or any accident. It is rather a strategy to get Tinubu out of power and this strategy will work in one way or the other.

I thank Nigerians across all parts of our country for their growing support and confidence in us and in the NDC. That trust has been the most important currency driving the party from its early days up until now, especially with the recent addition of my two distinguished colleagues.
What we are witnessing is a powerful convergence: my role as a party organiser and builder, alongside two political heavyweights with immense grassroots support, popularity and political experience, as well as several other leaders in their own right across the country, all coming together under one platform.
As I have consistently stated, our goal in the NDC is to build an ideological political party, one that can be compared to the ANC in its finest years in South Africa, as well as established political parties across Europe, America, India and even the Communist Party of China—in terms of stability, structure, and the ability to endure beyond its founders for generations to come.
The NDC is a party with a special place for young people and women, one that prioritises mentorship and prepares citizens for service. It is designed to serve the people, not just the big, strong, and powerful, but also the ordinary and the vulnerable.
For the record, the annexures show that we initiated the registration process for the NDC as far back as 2017 and that INEC granted approval at that time before the process was halted. When party registration resumed last year, we revisited and updated our earlier application. The other document shows a Google search we conducted on February 3, 2017, while searching for the appropriate “V-sign” as the party’s logo.
With my experience in politics, I am fully aware that an ambitious project of this nature will attract distractions—rumours, gossip, propaganda, and even blackmail. These are all parts of the terrain that we are used to. I therefore urge Nigerians to discountenance and ignore such propaganda about the ndc or any of its leaders and remain focused on the bigger picture.
I call on all Nigerians to join the NDC, register, participate, and contest elections. Together, let us reclaim and rebuild our country.

Senator Seriake Dickson has learned a lot about Nigerian politics. He quietly registered his political party NDC, collected the certificate, and kept it safely. He made himself the national leader of the party. He appointed one of his domestic staff as national chairman, who must get approval from him before doing anything in the party’s name.
He also made his house the party’s national headquarters. Anyone who wants to join the party must go to his house. All discussions are recorded and stored in a hard drive. He then brings out a small bag, gives the person a membership card, escorts them to the gate, and tells them to go and build party structures.
This way, no one can take the party from him.
That is also how Omoyele Sowore has protected his party AAC for about six years now.

Western Media Slanders Burkina Faso In New Documentary, The Spearhead Responds
On April 9, 2026, UK-based Western imperialist propaganda outlet @skynews uploaded a 16-minute documentary on YouTube, a documentary hosted by Sky News African correspondent @YousraElbagir, and aimed at portraying Burkina Faso as a poor, dangerous, unstable African nation ruled by an evil despot.
On April 10, Sky News re-uploaded this documentary with some revisions, amid a wave of backlash from a slowly awakening African audience.
In this report for the Spearhead, @barrahart examines the motives behind this “documentary”, weighs its claims against reality, and sheds light on an important connection between Sky News and the Western imperialist machine.
As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Burkina Faso has faced relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Mali and Niger, have continued to record economic and political wins.
All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of terror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its own presently crumbling economy.
The motive behind Sky News’s latest imperialist propaganda piece is clear: to manufacture consent for regime change in Burkina Faso and the wider AES, so that Africa may be put back in its assigned place in the West’s global order.
It is up to the people of Africa to continue to resist this tired trick.

@InibeheEffiong I do not believe that you're ignorant of the workings of geopolitics and how it affects our internal policies. The plausible justification for your takes on roles of imperialists is that you're paid to do these dirty works.

Go to the American Embassy and hold a placard against what is going on in your country.
Blame the US for the failures, corruption and wickedness of your politicians.
It is the US that is making our politicians to loot endlessly.
It is the US that is taking us backwards.
America and CIA are the ones in charge of the National Assembly and the Judiciary.
It is America that is making Tinubu to work with criminal elements to destroy Nigeria.
So, blame America, our dear Pan-Africanist and Geopolitics expert.

Lmao. You people must love this “political advocacy” work really well. The Hold Your Leaders to Account Industries Limited (HYLCI Ltd). The Strengthen Democratic Institutions Industries Limited (SDII Ltd) At least we are making process. Seems we have passed the foreign interests denial phase. Maybe because Dangote said it. Now that we have admitted foreign interests, albeit connivance with local actors, can someone explain to me why we are calling on the same foreign actors who have interest in keeping us poor for rescue. The “Donald Trump come and save us” group, over to you 🎤
