ambale:
Obasanjo left power some 18 years ago and till now no Nigerian president has been able to beat his achievements

Isn't that shameful to our leadership structure

You mean the Nigeria where thieves sent notices before embarking on daylight robbery?

Without NEPA doing the most?

While Atiku stole, OBJ confirmed it!

...and national assets were sold to Bandits.

“What exactly does Baba want again — a third term by proxy?”

Let’s not pretend.

When Olusegun Obasanjo strolls into Aso Rock or cosies up to Vice President Shettima, it’s never just a courtesy call.

It’s strategy.
It’s scheming.
It’s a retired puppeteer looking for strings to pull again.

But we ask: what’s his business there?

What’s this octogenarian busybody looking for in the corridors of power — again?

Did he forget something in Abuja?
Maybe the third term he never got?

Because truth be told — if the visit was about “national interest,” Obasanjo should be apologizing, not advising.!

Let’s get real:

The man ruled Nigeria for 11 years (1976–1979, then 1999–2007) and left us with:

NEPA sold to ghosts

NITEL buried without a funeral

A country privatized like Sunday akara

And yes — Atiku the Thief empowered to auction our future.

His state, Ogun, was a pothole graveyard during and after his reign.
People from there had to fly from Lagos or Ibadan, because Ogun had no airport — until Tinubu showed up and said enough is enough.(they now have an Airport)

But now, out of nowhere, Baba shows up smiling next to Shettima, and we’re supposed to clap?

We won’t.

We see the pattern.
We smell the plot.!

Is it a setup to divide the presidency?

Is he trying to plant seeds for another anti-Yoruba coup in disguise?

Or is this the beginning of another “letter-writing” episode dressed up in agbada?

Because when Obasanjo visits;
...it’s not about peace — it’s about power.

When he smiles, you check your pockets.
When he “advises,” something gets stolen.

This is the same man who:

Betrayed Abiola’s legacy

Mocked Yoruba unity

Empowered the very cabals bleeding Nigeria dry

And now wants to lecture Tinubu on nation building?

Baba, your time is up.
Go enjoy your farm and leave Nigeria alone.!

The nation is in surgery — and we don’t need a retired butcher giving scalpels to interns.

Tinubu is cleaning the rot you and your boy Atiku left behind.
If you’re not bringing , bring silence.!

Because what you couldn’t do in over a decade, Tinubu has begun fixing in one painful, honest year.

Ogun now has an airport.
Customs now has integrity.
Subsidy madness is dying.

And your legacy?
Rotting in PDP archives.

So Baba, with all due respect —
this isn’t your stage anymore.

The play has changed.
The actors are smarter.
The audience is awake.

Take your bow.
Exit left.
...and please sir, we beg you; in the name of Jesus.
Don’t come back holding scripts for roles nobody gave you.

💰Ghana’s Gold Reserves Up, Nigeria’s Northern Chaos Up: What’s Really Going On?

Ghana just increased its gold reserves by 1.63 tonnes in five months — from 30.53 tonnes in Dec 2024 to 32.16 tonnes in May 2025.
Small country.
Big moves.
Sound policy.
Strong currency response.
And funny enough, no daily news of “bandits” blowing up rail lines or turning villages into graveyards.
#benuestate #plateaustate

Meanwhile in Nigeria, especially in the mineral-rich North — Zamfara, Niger, Kaduna, Katsina — we can’t even track how much gold leaves the soil illegally.

There’s no reserve gain.
No audit trail.
Just more guns, more blood, and more excuses from Northern elites who’ve sat on federal power for decades.

Why?
Because Nigeria’s gold is being looted, not managed.

The CBN?
Quiet.

The governors?
Complicit.

The elites?
Feeding off the chaos.

And the so-called bandits?
Just pawns for a system of economic extraction and regional destabilization. (technically an Arm of the PDP #Dasuki)

Let’s also not forget that:

Ghana's Vice President is a woman, and they’re not having a meltdown about it.
(If i say Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala some of you will get Angry)

Ghana is pushing sound monetary reforms using local gold-backed currency trades, which is why their cedi is performing better than the naira — even though both countries import fuel and food.

Nigeria, on the other hand, is still trapped in 1914-era political structures, where some power mongers like Atiku “the Thief” (Obasanjo’s words, not mine) are still dreaming of becoming president like it's 2007, again and again.

These same Atiku-led elite coalitions, now parading as opposition saints, are filled with men who looted, destroyed, and still refuse to let go.
Add a few media influencers with Very Dark Minds and hired hashtags, and you have a recipe for sabotage, not progress.

🔥MESSAGE TO THE NORTH:
If your states are sitting on gold, uranium, lithium, and still can’t pay salaries or secure communities without funds from FAAC despite the fact that you contribute the lowest.!
...please stop pointing fingers and start answering questions.

Where is the gold revenue?

Who are the buyers?

Why is Lagos — a state with no natural gold — doing better in IGR than the mineral belt?

Tinubu might not be perfect, but under his watch, the books are being opened.
And that is why the grumbling is getting louder.

Roast me with facts, not with feelings.

Nigeria deserves better than stale recycled candidates from the era of landlines and fax machines.

heykims:

See someone confidently displaying ignorance online.
Ghana only redenominated their currency because it was so worthless. They removed 4 zeros from it in 2007. Basically when u see 1 cedis, it's actually 10000 cedis in the real sense. Even at that, naira still has better purchasing power.

Lol, You know what’s wild?

Watching someone confidently explain half-baked history like it’s breaking news.

Yes, Ghana redenominated their currency in 2007 — not because it was 'worthless', but to simplify transactions and restore confidence after prolonged inflation.
A common, strategic economic move — Turkey did it, Zimbabwe did it, did it.

But you?
You’re still stuck on Wikipedia drafts from 2009, quoting old rates like a retired cashier.!

This whole ‘1 cedi is actually 10,000 old cedis’ thing?
Tired.!
That was about 16-17 years ago.

That’s like shouting '₦1 = 100 Kobo' and acting like you discovered oil.

Move on. Time did.!

And purchasing power?
Please, It’s not about what the number looks like — it’s about what it can buy today.
You’re not talking economics; you’re reciting trauma from your SS2 Commerce textbook.
(FYI: it's literally cheaper for a Ghanaian to run Online Adverts that require Dollar)

But let’s talk about why Nigeria never pulled a Ghana-style redenomination:
Because too many pension-stealing patriots — including your beloved Atiku and his fellow hoarders — have illegal cash stashed in ceilings, soakaways, and private mosques.

If we redenominated, their billions would shrink faster than their electoral relevance.

They didn’t block it for your sake — they blocked it to protect their loot.
Because in a Nigeria with honest currency reform, half your political idols would need GoFundMe to buy suya.

So before you come online swinging misinformation like a cutlass, try reading — or better yet, thinking.
Because right now, you’re just loud, wrong, and stuck in 2007 — like Windows XP with a cracked screen. #Shalom

erad:
Economic illiterates writing sensational rubbish up and down.

Even Ghanaian government cannot make this claim that the cedi is stronger than the naira.
You all have no idea how things work but will just write nonsense for the sake of it.

Lol, the self-proclaimed economist has arrived.

Armed with vibes, powered by pride, and held together by misinformation.

First of all, no one claimed the cedi was stronger than the naira just to flex — it was based on basic exchange rate data.
...but you wouldn’t know that because your understanding of economics begins and ends with volume.

You scream ‘economic illiterates’ while failing to grasp that currency strength isn’t about what a government claims, but what markets reflect.

The Ghanaian government doesn’t have to ‘claim’ anything — the rates are public.

Google it.

Unless, of course, you think Bloomberg is also writing ‘sensational rubbish’.

And let’s be honest — you didn’t come to correct, you came to condescend.
Sadly, your tone is louder than your logic.

So next time, try facts before insults.

Because right now, all we see is noise wrapped in overconfidence. #Shalom

brain54:
I didn't get the link between the two stories though...

The Ghanaian Cedi is being strengthened with Gold, we literally have more Gold than Ghana; but Bandits have been in charge of it for decades.

So the former No. 4 citizen of Nigeria, Yakubu “No Results” Dogara, has suddenly discovered that the North ruled for 40 years with nothing to show?

Wow.
Incredible epiphany — after decades of benefiting from the exact system he’s now condemning.

Let’s be clear:

🔹 This is the same Dogara who held the Speaker’s gavel in a National Assembly that rubber-stamped mediocrity and watched Nigeria hemorrhage.

🔹 He sat pretty while the bandit economy flourished and Nigeria's solid minerals were smuggled out in broad daylight.

🔹 When mining licenses were sold like groundnuts and gold from Zamfara flew out of the country without adding one kobo to IGR, where was Dogara’s voice?

🔹 For 40 years, the North dominated federal leadership and sucked national wealth dry, yet many Northern states today can't match the IGR of Lagos alone.
That’s not just a tragedy, it’s a calculated betrayal.

Now he wants to pretend he’s a commentator?
Nah, sir.
You were a foreman on the sinking ship, not a bystander.

Meanwhile:

🇬🇭 Ghana, despite its smaller size, figured out how to harness gold to prop up the cedi.

🇳🇬 Nigeria, with more gold than Ghana, is stuck in the bandit-benefactor loop, where powerful elites prefer illegal mining to institutional progress.

But there's hope.
Real reforms have begun, and they’re uncomfortable—not for the masses, but for entitled elites like Dogara who want the old rent-collector Nigeria back.

This new wave under Tinubu is calling bluff and blood, and it’s no country for freeloaders.

“Start Talking Like a Human Being…” – Lere Olayinka Finishes Rufai Oseni on Live TV Like a Charging Cable in Ilorin Heat

At last, the moment many of us have been praying for with low-key fasting finally arrived — Rufai Oseni got verbally karate-kicked on live television.

Lere Olayinka, in pure form, no chaser, no filter, took one look at Rufai's usual condescending babble and fired:

> “Start talking like a human being or stop talking to human beings and go run documentaries on animals.”



💀💀💀
We felt that one from Lagos to Lafia.

Honestly, someone had to say it. For years, Nigerians have endured Rufai’s unhinged baboonic tone dressed up as "journalism."

This man doesn’t interview — he interrogates, interrupts, and throws attitude like it’s a tennis match and we’re supposed to cheer.
...and when you try to respond?
Boom.!
You're cut off like PHCN power during JAMB exams.

He talks to people like he's addressing primary school delinquents — with that weird smirk and tone that screams, “I read Wikipedia last night, fear me.”

But today?
He met Lere.
And Lere said enough of the National Geographic behaviour.

See, Rufai talks as if he’s holding a superior gene strand.
But truth be told, if IQ were speed, Rufai is a tricycle on a bad Kano road during rainy season.

His go-to move is to shout over guests, play the “I’m enlightened” card, and hope viewers confuse noise with sense. (with eyes always red)

Sorry bro, we’ve caught on.

You can’t sit there week after week pretending to care about Nigeria while dragging people like your Twitter drafts are leaking live.
Arise TV is not a zoo.!
...and you're not the caretaker.

So let’s be clear:

This isn’t about journalism. It’s about decorum, human interaction, and knowing when to let people finish a sentence without barking.

And today, someone finally said what millions have whispered:

> Talk like a human being.
Or please — go talk to your mates at the animal kingdom.



Shout-out to Lere Olayinka for the verbal exorcism.
We needed that.
The nation thanks you.!

In the spirit of Eid.
Let the pride deflate.
...and may Rufai finally some humility updates.

Why Okonjo-Iweala was sacked by Obasanjo


Ngozi Okonjo Iweala

Olusegun Obasanjo
Fresh facts have emerged as to why current finance minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was fired by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Okonjo-Iweala who was top shot at the World Bank but returned to assume duties as substantive finance minister under President Goodluck Jonathan, was curiously removed by Obasanjo as finance minister and redeployed to the foreign Affairs ministry for undisclosed reasons.

She is currently tagged the " supervisory " minister by President Goodluck Jonathan, a title that has put permanent frowns on the faces of her colleagues who feel the elevation was unnecessary.

Okonjo-Iweala negotiated a landmark deal in which the Paris Club of rich sovereign creditors wrote off USD 18 billion of debt Africa's largest debt cancellation. Nigeria then usedwindfall earnings from oil exports to pay off another USD 12 billion in debts and arrears.

However the figure of $34 billion in foreign put forward in 2006 by her office and that of the former Governor of Central Bank, Charles Soludo was disputed by Senator Farouk Bello Munza who maintained that the figure was about $9 billion.

Shortly after she was removed as minister, Obasanjo relieved her as chairman of his economic think tank.

ment

But in a chat with Pointblanknews.com in Abuja, former presidential candidate for the Peoples Mandate Party (PMP), Dr Batos Nwadike insisted Obasanjo fired Okonjo- Iweala because of the debt buy back deal. He said further that even though the deal appeared legitimate, there were some moral questions that cast doubt on the intentions of the former minister .

According him, even though Obasanjo saw her as the one with the magic wand, the former President was upset when he discovered went happened in the back room.

Nwadike maintained that Obasanjo discovered that the firm that brokered the $12 Billion debt buy back deal had links with Okonjo Iweala . He alleged that ex minister's sibling was a a top official of the firm, which got about $2 Billion as commission from the deal.


He said " Why was she removed. Of course there was a commission in that deal. There was a company that facilitated the deal, and of course people know the owners of the company. This woman had collected her salaries in dollars. About $2billion was paid as commission to the company that facilitated that debt buy back. The company is owned by her siblings..it's not a secret no more.If you check the records of the Paris Club and World Bank you will find the owners."

Nwadike who took shots at the proposed six year single tenure continued " Some can say it was legitimate, but I don't think so. I think it smacks of corruption. One of the magic wand she came with was to pay back the debt arguing that we were paying so much in interest , therefore okay to just pay back. President Obasanjo bought into it, and decided tom pay back. Was not strategic to pay all back.Her siblings are part owners of the the company that brokered the deal. Of course something must have accrued to her."

The former presidential candidate who also condemned the sacking of the former President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salamai, said " Obasanjo got angry because the way he celebrated her was amazing because he believed she had the magic wand. Why was she reassigned. Obasanjo got pissed off when he smelt corruption, no need changing his winning team. She was winning by paying back. It was celebrated. So why the sudden change of mind. he will tell us someday, and I will vindicated . When She was removed as chairman of the economic team , she left. Knew the game was up. She benefited from the deal, and Obasanjo found out...they got 10 per cent. "


http://www.pointblanknews.com/News/os5512.html

Ah yes, the "Obasanjo sacked Okonjo-Iweala" theory again—brought to you by the same crowd that believed Peter Obi had a magic wand but forgot he couldn't fix gutters in Awka.

First, let’s clear the fog.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala wasn’t fired for corruption.

She was shuffled during Obasanjo’s mood swing era—after she brokered the greatest debt relief deal in African history, saving Nigeria over $30 billion.

No indictment.
There is no court case.
Just speculative gossip from political lightweights like Batos Nwadike—whose only claim to relevance is yelling in caps.

But while you’re here throwing decade-old articles like kitchen rags, let’s talk facts:

The deal was transparent, internationally acclaimed, and helped stabilize Nigeria’s economy.

Okonjo-Iweala remains respected globally, currently running the World Trade Organization.

Compare that to Peter Obi who can’t manage flood drainage or silence cultists in Anambra but wants to “fix” Nigeria by doing morning devotion on Arise TV.


Now let’s pivot. Because if we’re being real? Tinubu is delivering, but he needs a stronger Vice President—one with global clout, solid technocratic spine, and zero regional baggage.

Enter Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Imagine pairing Tinubu’s political genius with her economic precision.

That’s synergy, not this current awkward silence and lifeless charisma that Shettima’s bringing to the table. His jokes don’t land, his presence doesn’t inspire, and his economic contributions? Still waiting.!

You think Tinubu is flying now?
Put Ngozi by his side and watch Nigeria ascend to executive class.
A VP who understands policy, people, and perception—and doesn't need daily PR R to stay relevant.

If we're serious about Nigeria's future, it's time to say the quiet part out loud:

Replace Shettima with Ngozi.
It’s not betrayal. It’s strategy.
We need brains, not blazers and borrowed bars.

Tinubu is fighting on all fronts—from cleaning Buhari’s leftover mess to neutralizing terror, fixing FX, and managing political landmines.
He doesn’t need a decorative VP.
He needs a weapon, and Ngozi is a damn good one.

Let the children continue crying over decade-old drama—real leaders focus on building the future.

Nobe pandoru again na Ngozi go save Una??

Nigerian govt borrowing billions to pay salaries – Okonjo-Iweala
By Times May 6, 2015 Reading Time: 2 mins read
In the face of dwindling oil revenues, Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the Federal Government has borrowed about N473billion to pay salaries and fund the 2015 budget.

The Minister, who was speaking in Abuja on the details of the N4.493trillion appropriation already ed by the National Assembly, said the federal government had to raise its borrowing level from N570 billion to N882 billion to enable it meet its financial obligations to workers and contractors.


https://www.timesng.com/business/182543-nigerian-govt-borrowing-billions-to-pay-salaries-okonjo-iweala.html

Next time, learn to read into the details and find the root cause of a problem.

If Obasanjo and Atiku Atiku were not on a looting spree, there wouldn't have been a need to take loans.

Misterone:
This is ridiculous! Some unknown resigns from APC, it's a big news and you write a long epistle about it. Governors, Senators, Rep former ministers, Opposition party chieftains defect to APC, it no news. It's just corrupt politicians bargaining their way out from EFCC's litigation. Oga! It's a normal thing. Politicians come and go as they please but the party remains.

You see, the problem isn’t just that people talk nonsense—it’s that they do so with confidence and no historical memory.

Let me help you since your memory seems to have taken a sabbatical:

Yes, politicians come and go.

But when someone who was planted in government corridors to whisper sabotage suddenly “resigns,” it’s not just a random event—it’s a cleanup, not a coincidence.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed was not some tea boy; he was Peter Obi’s running mate’s brother and held a sensitive advisory role under a president he and his camp openly undermined.

When such a person quietly resigns, you should ask: What were they doing there in the first place?

Under Jonathan, Nigeria hemorrhaged security—not because the military was weak, but because the loyalty structure was compromised.

People like Dasuki made sure funds meant for weapons disappeared into private pockets.

Instead of drones and airstrikes, we got jingles and body counts.

Yet people like you blamed Jonathan without calling out the embedded saboteurs.

Then came Buhari—eight years of sleeping at the wheel while terrorists released from “deradicalization programs” regrouped.

Instead of action, we got silence.

Prison breaks.
Mass abductions.
Ransoms.

...the man couldn’t sack a gatekeeper, let alone address insecurity.

Now Tinubu steps in.
No excuses.
No “GEJ left insecurity for me” speech.
Just coordinated military strikes, decimation of bandit camps, and cleansing of planted moles—and you’re angry it’s news?

Why?
Because it shows the difference between action and excuse-making?!

Meanwhile, people like you keep carrying Obi like a porcelain messiah.
The same Obi that keeps one leg in Nigeria and the other at the IPOB family reunion.
The same Obi whose own state, Anambra, is practically the blueprint for pothole governance and “Agbero federalism.”
The man talks about fixing Nigeria but couldn’t fix Ochanja market road. Laughable.!

So yes, i’ll talk about (Baba-Ahmed and co.) reg.

Because under Tinubu, Nigeria is no longer a lounge for fifth columnists.
Some people's favourites had years to build—what they did was loot, leak, and lie.

Welcome to a new era.
Keep crying, but kindly do it with facts next time.

Ritchiee:
Have you asked why Obasanjo sacked Mrs Okonjo Iweala and why she was borrowing money to pay workers in 2014 even with the humongous revenue Nigeria made from oil during that period?

Oh, I’ve asked—and unlike your echo chamber, I got answers rooted in sense, not bitterness.

First off, let’s stop acting like Obasanjo is some flawless oracle of governance.

This is the same man who fired anyone who didn’t lick his ego smooth.


Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala wasn’t sacked for incompetence—she was let go because she had a spine and refused to be Obasanjo’s puppet.

She wanted transparent financial reforms, while OBJ wanted control without question.

It’s classic dictator energy disguised as “discipline.”

As for the 2014 borrowing to pay salaries—you clearly skipped economics class.

By 2014, global oil prices had nosedived.

Even Saudi Arabia dipped into reserves.

Nigeria, under GEJ, was already walking a tightrope due to unsustainable spending patterns inherited from—you guessed it—Obasanjo’s vainglorious empire-building and untouchable recurrent budget.

So the borrowing?
It wasn’t Okonjo-Iweala's doing.

It was damage control.!

She wasn’t borrowing to buy private jets for ministers or build a multi-billion dollar mansion in Otta.

She was holding the country’s economy together with chewing gum and spreadsheets—because Obasanjo and his clones ate the national reserves with both hands.

Meanwhile, Tinubu, the man you all love to insult, inherited an economy in far worse shape—zero savings, ballooning debt, subsidy madness—and instead of whining or playing the blame game for eight years, he’s rolling up his sleeves, getting to work.

You don’t like Tinubu?
That’s fine.!
...but if you’re holding Obasanjo up as a model of wisdom, then sorry—you’re not defending integrity.
You’re glorifying selective amnesia.

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala didn’t fail.
She just refused to play godfather games—and for that, she got pushed aside by a man whose definition of loyalty is subservience.
Tinubu may be tough, but at least he respects capacity.
That's why people like her still get applause from him and not petty side-eyes.

So, ask again.
But this time, ask with facts—not recycled propaganda. #Shalom

📖 PAGE 49, “MY WATCH” — OBASANJO’S OWN WORDS

> "Atiku Abubakar becoming President is like hearing that an armed robber has become your bank manager."



Read that again.
This isn’t Twitter banter.
This is not a street rant.

This is Obasanjo, his former boss, his mentor, his co-commander, his political godfather...
…turning prophet, priest, and prosecuting judge in one sentence.

💥 And let’s not pretend:
Obasanjo didn’t just wake up and say this.
He worked with Atiku for 8 whole years.
That’s 96 months of watching him.

If Atiku was a student of robbery, Obasanjo was his frustrated principal. [facts proved it]

🧠 In Yoruba we say:

> "Olè ni me sè, Olè tó lórí àpáta."
(It is a thief that can trace another thief’s steps on a rocky mountain.)



You can’t decode criminal patterns unless you’ve seen them up close.
And that’s exactly what OBJ did.
He walked those rocky mountains with Atiku and came back saying:

🔊 "Nigerians, lock your vaults.
-This man is not here to lead.
-He’s here to loot.!"

🗳️ So when you see the Atiku-Okwute-Elrufai coalition forming and you think:
“Maybe they can save Nigeria,”
, you’re not building a team —
You’re assembling an Avengers squad of Alleged Looters.

🥷 Atiku, the man OBJ compared to a bank-robbing manager.

🧊 Obi, the slippery orator who builds flyovers to poverty and exports complaints.

🔥 El-Rufai, the same man who did DIY ethnic cleansing in Southern Kaduna with a matching PR kit.

They’re not here for you.
They’re not here for growth.
They’re here because Tinubu is working — and that makes them irrelevant. (or can you prove me wrong?)

💣 FINAL BOMB [Memory Verse]:

To Atiku is to say:

> “Let me give my house keys to the man who trained with burglars.”



To Obi is to say:

> “Let me bet my future on a man who ran away from ASUU problems only to campaign abroad like a UN refugee.”



To El-Rufai is to say:

> “Let me forgive genocide as long as the PowerPoint looks nice.”



But to Tinubu?

📢 That’s saying: “Yes, I want roads, schools, working FCT, N45k tech stipends, and a working ASUU-free academic system.”
Even Wike — the loudest mouth in PDP — is now singing hallelujah in Abuja.!

Fun fact: Jordan Wike has more integrity than Atiku.!

BREAKING PATRIOTISM: Why Abdullahi's Exit From APC Is Another Loud Whisper That Nigeria Needs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in 2027 🇳🇬🔥

📰 Shock Resignations.
Silent Exits.
Northern elite discontent.

Mohammed H. Abdullahi, former Minister of Environment under Buhari, just quit APC.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed — silent resignation, no clear reason.

More will follow.

Let’s stop pretending we don’t know what’s going on.

This is not politics as usual.

It’s the elite rejection of a Tinubu-led war on terror, tribal greed, and inherited impunity.

Because while Tinubu is finally doing what Northern elites never dared — confronting terror sponsors, shaking the old tables, and trying to rebuild real federalism —
many are jumping ship.

Why?

Because the poor North wants peace, but the elite North wants power. (Elites want Power but the People want Peace)

🚨 But here’s the truth: Tinubu’s vision will collapse without a stabiliser.!

A real one.

Not a PR Vice President who disappears during national crises.
Not a benchwarmer with tribal loyalty but zero reform credibility.

This country is too fragile for decoration politics.

We need someone who commands global respect and domestic discipline.

🎓 Someone who rescued us from debt in the 2000s.
💰 Who can negotiate capital, not just chop it.
🗣 Who speaks truth to power and gets results.

●|□

👑 Enter Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Not as a woman.
Not even as a political icon.
But as a rescue partner — the exact counterbalance to Tinubu’s style of raw courage.

Because power is not enough.
Peace is not enough.
Policy is everything.

So yes, Shettima may be loyal.
But Nigeria doesn’t need loyalty.
It needs delivery.!
We don’t need a co-pilot in shadows.
We need a woman who’s sat at the table with the world’s economic titans, and held her own.

🛑 Because let’s be honest:

The North is bleeding.

The South is burning.

The East is exhausted.

The West is waiting.

...and the centre must hold — or we all fall.

So when people like Abdullahi and Baba-Ahmed jump ship without cause, we must see it for what it is:

📢 A sign that Tinubu needs a better co-pilot — one who doesn’t just balance the ticket, but lifts the nation.

•●

Dear Tinubu, if you want to retire as a hero of history, not just a headline of ambition — you need Dr. Ngozi beside you in 2027.

Let the patriots unite.
Let the enemies of peace fall apart.
Let us rise with brains, not just biceps.

Suya Politics & Other Spicy Lies

by Oreoluwa O. Olaleye

They said we are free.
But every four years,
we kneel before familiar thieves—
in agbada, in borrowed suits,
in designer lies stitched with poverty’s thread.

They called it democracy,
but it’s just a carnival for clowns
wearing crowns they never earned.

Let’s talk about him—
the one who held the vault key
while the nation bled.
A prince of shadows,
Saboteur in silk—Dasuki.
While the shepherd slept,
he feasted on the flock,
starving a nation
to fund a palace of secrets.
Yet they blame the sleeping shepherd,
not the hand that drugged the wine.

And then there’s the Man of the Hour,
every hour, every decade, every collapse—
Atiku.
Whispers his name and you'll hear entitlement echo.
He thinks the PDP is his inheritance,
a family compound turned playground,
until he burned the house
then asked us to rebuild it—for him.

He ruined it,
then came back with a poster
and a prayer we never said.

And what of his fans?
Twitter philosophers,
thread-weaving cheerleaders
in echo chambers full of "yes"
and empty of results.

Add some Peter Obi seasoning.
Oh, the spreadsheet savior.
Who turned governance into a PowerPoint
but forgot that people don’t eat projections.
A merchant of logic,
but allergic to structure,
he built castles with data
but no walls to hold the storm.

And let’s roast El-Rufai—
with extra pepper and contempt.
The demolition man with a ruler’s dream.
He tweets fire,
but governs with smoke.
Every building he crushes
is a metaphor for every hope he dashed.
He once called for revolution,
then hugged the very throne he wanted to break.
How poetic.

These men—
high on ego,
low on grace,
loved not for leadership
but for how well they hide failure behind charisma.

Their ers?
Drenched in delusion.
Loud.
Proud.
And blindfolded by fanboyism.
They roast anyone who disagrees—
but it’s they who are on the skewer.
Served daily,
with plenty pepper, onions,
and a sprinkle of “we warned you.”

Lines in the Sand (Part II: The Mirror of Chains)

by Oreoluwa O. Olaleye

And yet—
the tragedy deepens.

Even the poor
cling to their chains like heirlooms,
mistaking rust for tradition,
mistaking pain for pride.

They spit hatred at the man
who speaks with a different rhythm,
bows to a different sky,
wears difference like a second skin.

They mock the rebel,
stone the thinker,
crucify the mirror
that reflects what they’ve become.

You try to speak—
gently, truthfully—
but they reach for the same weapon
once raised against their own necks.
Sharpened by dogma,
forged in fire not theirs,
and ed down like scripture.

They don’t even know they’re armed.

They think it’s faith.
They think it’s law.
They think it’s loyalty.

But it’s just the master's whip,
disguised as a sword,
gripped now by the hands
it once enslaved.

How do you free a soul
that mistakes its cage for a cathedral?
How do you liberate
a people who believe
obedience is holiness,
and silence is salvation?

You don’t burn down temples.
You light candles in minds.

But even then—
some blow them out,
calling it blasphemy.

And so the lines remain,
carved deeper than ever,
not in land…
but in legacy.

Lines in the Sand

by Oreoluwa O. Olaleye

They drew lines—
not with swords,
but with pens,
and called them borders.

Imaginary strokes on sacred earth,
yet we kill over them.
Not because the soil changed,
but because someone said,
“This part is ours.”
“That part is theirs.”

They built walls in the mind
long before brick met mortar.
Taught us how to fear
those who don’t bow like we bow,
who don’t pray in our tongue,
or bleed our color of creed.

Then came the cloaked ones—
guardians of rites,
custodians of holy sound,
who whispered truths wrapped in terror.
They told us salvation wore one face,
and damnation every other.

And we believed.
Oh, how we believed.
Knelt beneath stained glass ceilings
or desert moons,
reciting verses we dared not question,
because questions meant rebellion,
and rebellion meant fire—
eternal, unforgiving, divine.

We fed our children
the same poison sermons
we drank with open hearts.
Taught them to draw the lines sharper,
cut deeper,
bleed cleaner.

Now, here we are.
Trapped in a maze of myths,
guarded by prayers
that taste like commands.

Still at war.
Still afraid.
Still dying in the name
of gods we’ve never seen
and lands that were never ours.

Will we ever escape?

Or are we forever
the children of a fight
that began with ink and incense—
imaginary lines,
and indoctrinated minds?
