There are 3 options for Musk:
1. He quits politics entirely and focuses his energies only on running his many businesses
2. He quits the Republican Party, but remains in politics and decides to create a 3rd party or an independent candidate (something he has spoken of doing before and something which another Billionaire called Ross Perot tried in 1992 and it cost Republicans the Presidency which they lost to Bill Clinton)
3. He plays the long game and reconciles with Trump in anticipation of throwing his weight behind his own preferred Republican candidate in the 2028 U.S Presidential Elections.
I personally think he'll go for option 3, but nothing is guaranteed at the moment.
For one thing, he can never become a Democrat because they have spent the past decade demonising him as a Nazi, calling him a white supremacist and destroying Tesla car dealerships all over the United States.
Musk himself is forbidden from running for the Presidency of the United States because he is a first generation immigrant.
Under the American Constitution, a first-generation immigrant cannot run for the office of U.S. President.
The U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1) requires that the president be a "natural born Citizen" of the United States. This means the person must have been born a U.S. citizen, typically by being born on U.S. soil or to U.S. citizen parents abroad. First-generation immigrants, who are born outside the U.S. to non-citizen parents and later become citizens, do not meet this requirement.
Do you know anything about America at all? Elon was made by OBAMA and DEMOCRATS in California. When Republicans were attacking him 10 years ago because of the subsidies he enjoys and Most Democrats are the buyers of Tesla. California is the only State that had banned gasoline engine effective in few years to come. Everything he enjoys today was given by Democrats before he turned rouge.

Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu became President merely seven months after Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Troare seized power. Both have spent 2 years in office.
In these periods, Troare has built 3 processing plants (Tomato, Cotton, Cashew Apple), Gold Refinery, and Veterinary Manufacturing unit. He didn’t hold ceremony for the commission of any of them.
Tinubu, on the other hand, has completed and is celebrating 30km out of 700km coastal Highway.
This isn’t fairytale. It is reality.
Burkina FASO is just 500 naira from Sokoto. You can relocate. I bet you are one of the paid liars of this small boy. Traore self tire for una lie lie on him.

Nigerian Petrol refinery price is similar to America
The Ex refinery price of gasoline is $2 a gallon which works out at less than 850 per litre
So why can't Dangote sell to other West African nations

By Ayaya Inuen Ayaya 4/5/2025
In the shadow of Nigeria’s economic collapse, a social catastrophe is unfolding quietly, steadily, and destructively. What began as a trend among young people seeking quick wealth has now mutated into a full-blown epidemic of gambling addiction, sweeping across every stratum of Nigerian society. Fuelled by deepening poverty, staggering youth unemployment, and the relentless lure of mobile betting apps, gambling has become both an escape and a trap. Experts estimate that over 65 million Nigerians place bets daily, a staggering figure that barely s in policy circles or public debate.
*This is more than a moral panic. It is a social crisis*.
*The New Religion: Betting as a Way of Life*
Walk through the streets of any major Nigerian city, or even the remotest villages, and you’ll see them young men huddled around kiosks, women scanning betting odds on smartphones, children mimicking the words they hear at home: "*odds," "virtual," "stake." *Betting has become a new religion for the economically disenfranchised. To many, it is their only hope for financial salvation. It doesn’t matter that the odds are designed to favor the house. In a country where university graduates ride okadas to feed their families, the seductive promise of instant riches is too tempting to resist.
What used to be casual weekend gambling is now an everyday obsession. Betting slips have replaced grocery lists. Airtime is spent not to call loved ones, but to refresh live odds. And for many, payday no longer means rent or school fees it means topping up a virtual wallet to chase the mirage of a jackpot win.
*The Drivers: Inflation, Unemployment, and Smartphones*
The Nigerian economy has left millions behind. Inflation continues to spiral, eating away at household incomes, while unemployment especially among the youth remains catastrophic. With over 40% of the population living in poverty and job opportunities shrinking daily, young Nigerians are not just idle; they are desperate.
Enter the mobile phone a device that was once seen as a communication tool but has now become a weapon of self-sabotage in the hands of an addict. Betting apps, armed with aggressive algorithms and 24/7 accessibility, have infiltrated every corner of Nigerian life. With just a few taps, anyone can wager their future on a match in Slovenia or a virtual roulette spin. The barrier to entry is laughably low. The cost of exit is devastatingly high.
*Gambling and the Fracturing of the Nigerian Family*
Perhaps the most tragic consequence of this epidemic is its corrosive effect on families. Fathers now gamble away rent money. Mothers secretly bet away food allowances. Children go to school without lunch because someone in the house staked it all on a virtual match in Asia. In some homes, gambling is now a family affair. There are heartbreaking stories of parents encouraging their children to place bets, cheering them on as if it were a sport, not a symptom of societal decay.
This normalization of gambling is not just damaging it’s dangerous. The moment betting becomes a family activity, it ceases to be a game and becomes a generational curse.
The emotional toll is no less dire. Marriages are disintegrating under the weight of secret debts and broken trust. Domestic violence is on the rise many incidents erupt after a failed bet or a heated argument over gambling money. In such moments, the true cost of addiction reveals itself not just in naira lost, but in bones broken, lives disrupted, and relationships destroyed.
*Mental Health in Freefall*
The psychological consequences of gambling addiction are severe, yet rarely discussed. Compulsive gamblers often swing between manic hope and crushing despair. They suffer sleepless nights, anxiety, and severe depression. Many lie, steal, or manipulate their loved ones to sustain the habit. For those who lose everything and most do suicidal thoughts are not uncommon.
Unfortunately, mental health is nearly non-existent for these individuals. In a country where psychiatric services are grossly underfunded and addiction is often seen as a personal failing rather than a disease, most sufferers go untreated, unnoticed, and unaided.
*The Rise of Betting-Driven Crime*
As desperation deepens, crime becomes an inevitable byproduct. There are rising reports of petty theft, fraud, and even armed robbery committed by those driven by gambling debts. Young people who once dreamed of becoming doctors or engineers are now being lured into the murky underworld of cybercrime just to recoup their losses. For some, it's not just about recovering what they’ve lost it’s about maintaining an illusion of control in a life spiraling into chaos.
*Policy Blindness and Corporate Complicity*
Despite the scale of the crisis, the Nigerian government has largely turned a blind eye. Regulatory bodies exist in name only, often more focused on revenue generation than public health. Meanwhile, betting companies continue to thrive many owned or backed by powerful elites. These firms invest heavily in marketing, sponsoring sports teams and celebrities, painting gambling as glamorous and harmless.
There is virtually no age restriction enforcement. No mandatory addiction warnings. No spending caps. Betting companies rake in billions while Nigeria bleeds families, dreams, and futures.
*A Call for Collective Awakening*
The silence of policymakers, the complicity of corporations, and the ignorance of the general public must end. Gambling addiction is not a personal weakness it is a societal disease, fostered by systemic economic failures and corporate greed. Nigeria must act now to curb this scourge before an entire generation is lost to it.
Here’s what must happen:
1. *Strict Regulation and Oversight*: Government must place betting companies under serious scrutiny, enforcing age limits, betting caps, and mandatory warnings on all platforms.
2. *Public Awareness Campaigns*: Media, churches, schools, and community leaders must begin honest conversations about the dangers of gambling addiction.
3. *Mental Health :* Addiction recovery programs, counseling services, and groups must be made accessible and destigmatized.
4. *Economic Reforms*: The root cause remains poverty and hopelessness. Until Nigeria offers its youth real opportunities, betting will remain an attractive escape.
5. *Parental and Community Responsibility*: Families must recognize the danger and intervene early. Community leaders must discourage public endorsements of betting as a norm.
*Betting on Hope, Not Despair*
There was a time when Nigerians hoped through hard work, faith, and perseverance. That hope has been hijacked by the illusion of quick wins. A nation that bets its future on luck is a nation already bankrupt of vision.
It is time for Nigeria to reclaim that vision to bet on dignity, education, opportunity, and mental health. To trade instant gratification for long-term progress. And to understand that true wealth is not won at a kiosk or on an app, but built through unity, purpose, and care for one another.
Until then, we remain a nation betting on despair.

Make we no lie... Na d black people for America popularize the N word, they use it in movies, in songs, if u don't want people to call u d N word, then stop calling yourselves
Black using the N word is not to belittle or be racist to another its just like saying my 'guy' . If you dont live in America , you cant understand. If a White person calls you N word , you know what that means and the white guy too knows what it means.

The painful thing is that even some Nigerians will still Facebook. We cant ever make it in Africa.

The SEC is not doing enough!
Some 18 months ago, I emailed the SEC concerning a non-bank financial institution offering investment services, they responded to me, informing me that the company does not hold a licence to carry out such services.
But to date, the company is still operational.
You don't just inform the public, you investigate, liaise with the EFCC to prosecute them and close up their shops.
There are lots of Online Ponzi sites in America that are not regulated . The FBI will never arrest or prosecute them if kasala never burst.

They should send him to a jail in Orlu or Mbaise where he belongs, he is no way a f88king American with that head
Meanwhile 1st to comment, I dedicate this post to MrCock, may your gentle soul continue to rest in piss Homie......... No offiensee
No let Ignorance and bigotry finish you. That boy is American Born Congolese. His Dad actually planned the coup with those other white guys and they all came from America. They later killed the Dad when the coup failed and captured the boy and those white guys. The Dad was the opposition leader who went on exile but came back to forcefully snatch power.

‎Meet A PhD Holder Who Is A Cleaner At EBSU And Still Earns 70,000 Naira Only
‎
‎According to Godfrey Chikwere, "Izzi big men, this is one of your brothers with PhD earning 70,000 a month in EBSU."
‎
‎"In my quest to get assistance for Ebsu students at the Presco campus of the University because of the increasing spate of r@pe and robbery at that campus.
‎
‎I ran into this guy's case, he is a PhD holder in Mathematics Education earning less than 70,000 per month in EBSU.
‎
‎This guy's case should be an embarrassment to any Izzi man he approached for assistance but they turned him down.
‎
‎His case should be a shame to EBSU as a whole.
‎
‎This is Dr Enyi onyebuchi Paul
‎From Ikelegu ishieke in Ndiabor community of Ebonyi LGA, Ebonyi state. He got a job at Ebonyi State University in the year 2007 as a cleaner/Messenger.
‎
‎He struggled to see himself through a university education in the same school to the level of PhD in 2022.
‎
‎Since then, they have refused to convert him to an academic staff.
‎
‎EBSU should have converted this man and used him as a reference point for hard work, but he has no one who knows someone who knows another person. He is still a cleaner with a PhD.
‎
‎Under the immediate V.C., six persons from outside the University were allegedly employed in the department he is qualified to work from, but they can't simply convert him. Reason, he knows no one at the top.
‎
‎He has met two principal officers to the current Governor from Izzi and a commissioner, and none of them could help.
‎
‎He can't even get a job elsewhere because he knows no one at the top.
‎
‎Summary of his journey:
‎B. SC. 2013
‎M SC. 2017
‎Ph. D. 2022.
‎
‎Generally, if Izzi people don't take advantage of these four or eight years, the four or eight years will take advantage of them."
‎
‎
An ignorant man can get 20 PhDs and he will still be getting 50k in Nigeria while an informed NCE holder will be making 500k to 1m. I have lesson teachers who tutor my child online from Nigeria and they are paid nothing less than 80k/Monthly for 1 hour 3 times a week job. I know they do it with other people too. I even had to negotiate to that level. I saw a website where PhD holders in Engineering , Computer , Mathematics offer online tutorial , most of them from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Those guys dey read abeg but they hustle for jobs most times.

Talk from someone who was deported from UK for inability to for congregation funds.
He was tried in UK Court for diverting Church funds for personal use like buying mortgages, flashy cars and luxurious lifestyles.
He claimed d church executives approve d spending only for investigation to reveal d church executives only comprises of his immediate family. UK government took istration of his Church and he escaped to Nigeria to avert further scrutiny.
If its the True God Ashimolowo serves that encourage all his fraudulent practices, then I prefer to serve Satan .
