Had the opportunity to announce yourself as undisputed jersey plug on twitter and for Osimhen, but greed wouldn’t let you see beyond your nose. In a World Cup year, in the middle of UCL… where your orders could literally go x10. Terrible business mind.

@yeankhar Southampton did this one 😌 Hope is renewed let's go for the remaining two💪

Jesus’ resurrection has given me renewed hope that things will get better. Not this one lapite is sharing

@MrMekzy_ Naso we talk about Buhari🤣🤣. Make Wike enter first

I just feel Tinubu is the worst president that Nigeria can ever have, we’ve hit rock bottom with him. Nobody can out fail and out wicked him.

@lollypeezle 🤣🤣🤣🤣...Lolaaaaaa

Another style is that while you are still with him, he will delay you till night like he doesn’t want you to go. Mumu you will think it’s all love but bobo just wants everywhere to get dark before he steps out with you I am kuku married, I don’t mind spilling all their secrets🏃

@avrilamaka E no kuku get the reputation before

Imagine ruining your entire reputation over 300k Naira. 😂 Abegggg

@Morris_Monye 300k o😭 Profit margin wont be more than 100k

Abazz has been a disappointment. Over how much. Integrity is not something they negotiate.

@lollypeezle Very disrespectful... And this drama is unnecessary

At this point, both of you need to stop tagging Osimhen to your back and forth. He has done his part. It’s disrespectful.

@DavidHundeyin Calling you out was a desperate attempt at regaining relevance

If you're angry that I poached WAW's best reporters when I was leaving, you should ask yourself why they agreed to be poached. How did you treat them? How much were you paying them? You were paying a 27 year-old adult man N110,000/month ($80) to be a field reporter covering high risk stories including the Lekki Massacre memorial and an attempted undercover infiltration of a Chinese/Filipino scam call centre with armed security on Providence Way. This dude had a high risk full time job and he couldn't afford a place to stay. He was squatting with his friend while working full time as a investigative reporter! You couldn't even be nice to him, which costs nothing. Everyday insult upon query, to the point that he was already planning to submit his resignation, even before finding another job. When I made him an offer that came with a living wage and the promise of being treated like an actual human being with feelings, why wouldn't he jump ship? What pull factors were present to make him want to stay put? Isn't he somebody's child too? What effort did you make for WAW to be a non-toxic workplace? Or were you in fact, a pompous bunch of awful diasporans who thought they had a god given right to treat Nigerian locals as cheap labour trash, because of the small $5 you make in America? Did you regularly mock and belittle your employees to their hearing, making jest of their financial status or lack of travel? Now that I took the best talent with me and we're flying in our new project, and your organisation has clearly crumbled into a rotting mess that will soon be worth nothing, you're busy throwing tantrums, acting drama and telling lies on the TL about "David was disengaged" and "financial irresponsibility" - exactly how "irresponsible" it was mathematically possible to be while essentially working with a zero budget, nobody has explained. Enjoy your meme replies and retweets from the sub-3-digit IQ morons but remember that as always, in exactly 5 working days, none of the idiots you are performing for will remember any of this, and you will be back to being a group of clueless, pompous asshats who don't know their ass from their elbow, running a forgotten platform that only ever had any relevance because of its attachment to me. Your eba is cold. You should warm it.

@Bigsam_gatsu @fimlex2 Maybe a twitter glitch but I saw it an hour ago

@MikeUbaka @fimlex2 Make your findings bro No dey believe agenda

Wait oo, the guy don Unfollow everybody now now……cause of small engagement we dem go forget am soon😭😭😭😭

That's because my personal Substack (davidhundeyin.substack.com) is a completely separate entity to West Africa Weekly. WAW started off on Substack, but the moment you guys invested in 2023, you made it very clear that WAW would be a standalone website (westafricaweekly.com) and the Substack platform would revert to me, which is why I changed the name from 'westafricaweekly.substack.com' to 'davidhundeyin.substack.com.' Yes, I have 160 paid subscribers there, which is the sole result of the sweat of my own brow, without your help or involvement. I built that subscriber base while writing dangerous stories inside a safe house in Central Accra with armed police patrolling outside. Were you bunch of barawos under the impression that you were entitled to what I built without you that was not covered by the purchase agreement? What did you think you were paying for? A slave? I left WAW since last year and I didn't make a song and dance about it, but since you people want to behave like a scorned ex on the internet, let me remind you that I still own half of this company, and in fact I still control many of its digital assets. Its Instagram page is literally under my personal Meta accounts centre. Ditto its LinkedIn page. I took these screen recordings less than 10 minutes ago showing that as of right now, I still have full access to the WordPress backend, Zoho email suite and Zoho Cliq workplace. If you "disengaged" me for "financial irresponsibility", kindly explain why I still have full access to all of your backends? Because you know what actually happened - I left WAW to found The Spearhead in August 2025, and you are angry because everything useful about the platform left with me, including its 2 best reporters, and in just 6 months of operation, we have created much better material and outperformed post-2023 WAW by every metric available. You know that I was right about everything. I was right about pivoting away from Nigerian news and Obidient-slop to focus on more important African geopolitical content. I was right about investing real money in creating visual content. I was right about looking beyond Nigeria for an audience. I was right about hiring a full time Sahel reporter. I was right about the fact that you needed to let go of the dream of WAW becoming a mainstream media outlet making money the conventional Nigerian media way, because the gatekeepers would never let you in simply based on the platform's association with me. I was right about boosting reporters' pay instead of expecting miracles from somebody's child whom you're paying N110,000/month to be a field reporter in Lagos. And now, instead of accepting that I was right about everything and that you know nothing about journalism or media business, your petulant response to your own horrible failure is to try to throw mud on my name and to destroy the platform in the process - a platform that you did create and whose value you cannot possibly understand because you're so poor that all you have is money. Well, you can't destroy a reputation that you didn't build. Many before you have tried. You won't be the last. The Mayowa and Kangmwa that you used to mock for being broke and unpolished have now traveled and seen the world perhaps more so than you have. They now create great material that the whole world now sees and engages with. You're still there paying people peanuts and looking for NNPC advert gigs that you will never get. Like many diasporans, once you have some small $5 in your pocket, you think everyone back home should kneel before you. After dealing with racism and insults to make your 2 kobo in Houston, you now come to reflect the same energy back to your people in Lagos because that makes you feel good about your life. Whatever floats your boat. But from the bottom of my heart, I don't care. I am better than you and there's nothing you can do about it. My offer remains open: if you can, buy me out and do what you want with WAW. I have moved on.

@AbuAzeezAbolaji They will hoard more than indomie

What if them say make you feed una community ?

Birds of the same feather....Yours was 200k sc@m..now Abazz couldn't handle a transaction of 300k...and you are coming to do faux solidarity Shame

@YKoluwaseun9 Of course y'all will parrot the same briefs..bunch of zombies

20k jersey with free delivery, you're expecting it to come with Ronaldo autograph?

Mark the faces of the vendors defending and supporting Abazz. They would do worse if you patronise them.

You can't fake integrity. In three days we have seen it for ourselves. It's not something you can gaslight anybody about

There's something about integrity, if you don't have it, you can't fake it No matter how you try

Wait o.. that's true I no greet my boss @yeankhar Good morning Sir. Happy Easter I heard you people were looking for quadruple and jam Quadri. 👀👀👀

So basically if you want original jerseys avoid Abazz

@Adunni_olohunje @abazwhyllzz You are very stup1d

@MikeUbaka @abazwhyllzz You dey craze

Good evening everyone , After seeing the genuine feedback from some winners about the jerseys delivered, and everyone opinion on this, I’ve decided to make this right in the simplest way possible. - Firstly, I admit i messed it all up with the first action of picking winners which isn’t in my position but I’ve apologized for that. Once again, to the whole public, I have admitted and corrected my steps. - The 10 jerseys already sent were the lighter Player Version I sourced, but it’s clear they didn’t match what many expected for this giveaway. That’s on me. To fix it completely: option 1: i am willing to send the whole N300k to @_Abdulakeem_ so he can pick any vendor of his choice to get the jerseys for the winners he picked option 2: I am willing to refund the full amount received per jersey (₦20k including delivery) directly to every winner who has received one, - Those who have received it can return the jerseys with delivery fee on me. (I will fund the redelivery back to me) - The winners can then source their choice of jerseys from any vendor of their choice. so the remaining 5 will not be shipped instead, those winners will also get the cash equivalent. Either of the options he picks is cool with me. My goal was to deliver value from our Agba baller osimhen. Since expectations weren’t met according to the winners, the fairest thing is to return the funds so everyone gets exactly what they want. Big thank you to my boss,Victor Osimhen once again for the support ❤️. I appreciate the understanding and will post proof of refunds as they are processed. Let’s close this chapter positively. I don’t want to go back and forth on this anymore. @_Abdulakeem_ please reply with the option you’re picking so I can proceed. Thank you everyone 🙏🏾
