I’m running for President of Nigeria. I’m not waiting for anyone to (fake) “call on me”, or until the presidency is zoned to anywhere. I’m running on a vision, not on ethnic identity politics. I’m as good as anyone in Nigeria, north or south, to be President.

BREAKING Rivers, Ebonyi, Anambra, Lagos and Kebbi states top states’ 2021 overall fiscal performance ranking. Meanwhile, Ogun and Kano states dropped out of the top 5 race to 19th and 22nd positions, due to a sharp decline in their IGR. Thread! #StateofStates2021 – at Lagos, Nigeria

The world is not poor. On the contrary, we presently use *more than double* the resources and energy that are required to ensure flourishing lives for all. The problem is that it's all organized around elite accumulation, rather than around actual human needs.

Why has no one considered including endless zoom calls in criminal investigation? Been on calls since 10am and honestly I'd confess to anything to be free 🥴 #zoomedout

A child’s background should not dictate the course of the rest of their lives. That’s where we have to step in as policy-makers, to open up doors so that nothing is beyond their reach. #EUChildGuarantee #ForEveryChild @UNICEF_ECA
