The future of Nigeria lies in the hands of the leadership of today. That's why @YIM_Nigeria is focused on helping teenagers with the skills needed to understand governance & become active, informed voices in shaping their future now & decades to come #ExchangeAlumni @oyostategovt

Meet History Professor @ifeosaa, a young Nigerian who graduated from UNILAG, skipped Masters and went straight to secure a PhD from Harvard University, with fully funded scholarship from Nigeria. This is to remind every Nigerian student out there, your dreams are valid. Education is not a scam.

Trauma is what has brought us here. Telling will never work, you’ll have to do a deep work. Trauma affects how you think, what you think, and your actual capacity to think. One of the worst causes of trauma is sexual based violence and incest. Many people have had sexual abuse outside the norms in an environment that they had no power leaving as a child/teens, but when they become adults they crave for an environment of sexual misnomer. Such that in a normal atmosphere, like marriage where they should actually have sex like crazyyy, they are tuned down, they hid, and cannot find excitement in it, except they find themselves in misnomers. That’s why I commend the work of @lrvivour at the @Lagosdsva on at least tacking sexual based violence for starters.

Arts is a form of expression. In fact, I dare say in a world where AI is now the new standard, arts is increasingly as important as science and technology, if not more. The science and technology principles already exist and can be applied, but the arts is what helps translate those principles into expression. Steve Jobs is more of an artist than a scientist. What is lacking is an overemphasis of one over another - Science, Technology and Arts (STA) is the way to go, but without industry that will only remain a pipe dream.

Welcoming the latest 🇳🇬 Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Lateef Kayode Are to The World Bank Group in celebration of the Nigerian Independence Day at the Bank. Fun fact about the Ambassador: He’s a Yoruba man, a Muslim, who is married to a Christian, Igbo woman, Mrs. Ngozi Are. This is not uncommon with Nigerians irrespective of religion, tribe, and nationality. Our diversity is our divinity. Thanks to Olumide Kola-Lawal for leading efforts that made the events all successful. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and deliver her a leadership that works🇳🇬

Day 1 of 10 reasons not to go to Libya. You are the Arab man's slave all through the journey!

I don’t fuck with politics. Okay, that’s fine, but wait till politics fucks you and fucks you up and your future. Go collect your PVC, as nationwide collection for recent registrants begins on October 9, 2026. Then Mobilize. Then Vote.

Now this is well deserving of a Doctorate in Investigative Journalism. Any University in Nigeria for the taking, before a UK or ‘Benin’ school picks it up.

Tinubu on my mind. It’s well even in the well🫶🏽

Nigeria failed the nail cutter, so he took his tools to the street. Nigeria failed the agbero, so he turns the street into his own Federal Inland Revenue Service. Now poverty is taxing poverty , but wealth watches from an air-conditioned office. Even rock bottom has developed a revenue service. Hardship is no licence to prey on another. Sections 273 and 301 of Lagos Criminal Law punish intimidation and threatening demands where proved. Hopefully, Eko is not blind to its own laws. Give the agbero that ‘iko’ so his head and others like his resets.

Nigeria wondering why the economy is dying? Here is your proof. Ethnic bigotry on government payroll, wearing police uniform and discussing who is ethnically qualified to enter Aso Rock instead of how to keep Nigerians safe. We want a trillion-dollar economy but still run parts of the country like a village meeting with a national flag. Until the law becomes stronger than tribe and ‘oga anything for us’, investors won’t need an exit strategy. The country is already writing them one.

“Make sure you don’t sleep,” one trafficker belted out. “If you sleep, you fall off. And if you fall off, you die!” Part 1 of my latest investigation for @fijnigeria. UNDERCOVER: Europe Through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea (I) fij.ng/article/undercover-eu…

Peller allegedly got an American passport? 😂 Abeg, before Congratulations, know that American passport no be NIN wey agent fit run for you at Oluwole along. A U.S. passport is for U.S. citizens, either born in US, or through Green Card and Residency. And please, don’t borrow your friend’s blue passport for content. Falsely claiming U.S. citizenship can land you in FCI Fort Dix, New Jersey, with Hushpuppi , that even Greg will look away. It may even be a reason for future US visa denial. Let him that hath Peller’s ears, hear and tell him.

At least he has faith in Peter Obi winning unlike Labour Party, but sharing national cake when you haven't even bought the flour is wild. INEC is already baking the server glitch that will end this dream by 4AM. Someone should tell Mr. Dickson to focus on winning first.

Exceptional academic performance + laser focus hard work as if you want to die is still the surest pathway to get out of the ghetto. Run FAR from those idiots that tell you school is a scam.

My Unpopular opinion about the Dangote IPO. If I were to advise anyone with extra money to invest right now, I’ll say don’t buy Dangote Refinery share now. I’ll rather buy some of the other shares dropping now or put the money in an interest-yielding investment and buy Dangote months or a year after it starts trading. My reason is a permutation of history and economics. First, Dangote is selling at ₦525 until October 13. Part of the strong refining margins today is being helped by the current geopolitical disruptions. If Trump’s war ends and refining margins normalise, that would put some pressure on the valuation. It doesn’t mean the shares must fall, but I think there is a reasonable chance of getting a better entry price later. Second is opportunity cost. If the IPO becomes heavily oversubscribed and you don’t get your full allocation, some of your money will eventually be refunded. ₦10 million earning 16% p/a is roughly ₦400k in three months or ₦800k in six months. So while waiting for allocation/refund, your money could have been earning something elsewhere. Third, this is a ₦2 trillion-plus IPO. Some investors are selling other shares to raise money to buy Dangote. That can temporarily push down the prices of otherwise good companies. I’ll rather look at shares like Access, GTCO and others that become cheaper without any fundamental problem with the companies. Then I wait. History is also why I’m comfortable waiting. Dangote Sugar listed around ₦18 in 2007, went significantly higher, but eventually traded far below ₦18 few years later. Dangote Cement also traded below its initial listing price some months after listing. History doesn’t mean Dangote Refinery must fall below ₦525; it simply shows that an IPO price is not necessarily the cheapest price you will ever get. If Dangote drops to a price I like, I move my money into it and leave it there for 5–10 years. My argument isn’t that Dangote Refinery is a bad investment. I actually think it is an excellent long-term investment of 5 to 20 years. I just don’t think I need to join the rush to buy it at ₦525. Picture: Throwback with Alh. Dangote 9 years ago, with a copy of my Book: Yes, Africa Can.

That’s if there’s still a country after Tinubu’s second term is over. The rate at which everything is going downhill for Nigerians and the parasites in Tinubu’s government are increasing, the host Nigeria is in danger ⚠️ Let’s save the host first because there’ll be no turn if the country is overturned. Vote wisely!

Price of fuel now: N1,420 per litre. Price of fuel in October 2025: N920 per litre. Percentage increase 60%. Price of fuel when Tinubu took office (May 29, 2023): N185. Percentage increase: 700% Back in October 2025, I said that the Tinubu-led fuel tariffs and policies would significantly increase the price of fuel. I was told that Dangote Refinery would not allow that to happen. Okay. This is just to remind you that governance is common sense, and it seems this administration lacks it. If you like, vote them in again in 2027. You like suffering abi - continue.
