If you are a Nigerian and you attend a concert hosted by any Nigerian artist this December, you are a foöl.
I have not seen a completely useless industry like the entertainment industry here.
The reason they remain relevant is that we don’t keep them on their toes. So they do as they like, come online to do giveaways whenever it pleases them, and flaunt their luxurious lifestyles and vehicles for you people to debate about who is richer and who drives more expensive cars.
The radio silence from your celebrities is very intentional. Since Tinubu came into power, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Asake, Tems, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Ayra Starr, Rema, Adekunle Gold, Zlatan, BNXN, and EVERY other person in that industry have said absolutely nothing about the government. Not a single criticism, not even an attempt to encourage their fans to get their PVCs. Lmao, they can’t even publicly tell their fans to vote for a candidate because most of them are friends with people in Aso Rock.
You see how I did not mention the likes of Davido, Olamide, Ajebo Hustlers, Teni, Dandizzy, and Duncan Mighty? These ones are not even subtle about their support for APC and Tinubu. They are either friends with ST, take APC gigs, or dine with Tinubu himself.
If not for the fact that we are very unserious people, no one should be taking Davido seriously after that gimmick he pulled during the Osun State election.
All of them in that industry don’t rate you people, especially those of you who act like fatherless children defending some of them on social media every time.
The election is in January. Most of them will travel out of the country, then, after the election, they’ll come back to host shows, collect money from you people who are suffering, and come on stage at 3 a.m. after keeping you standing from 10 p.m. They might even kick some of you in the face.
But I guess Nigerians have a humiliation kink. If you hold these people accountable and keep them on their toes, they will be on their best behaviour. But then, there’s nothing like cancel culture here anyway.
Nigerian celebrities, pastors, and politicians are God’s favourites. They hit the jackpot by having people like you in their lives.

Hear this and hear it well.
The United States cannot do anything to your country without already controlling your country remotely. This why you need to fight off any form of subversion being carried out by this rouge entity in your country.
Its military is paper tiger. It can only threaten you with nukes if you keep it away from penetrating your country through its various grafts, including partnerships, aids, democracy and human rights advocacies. The way to deal with the threats of nukes its is to get your own nukes.
You can ask Iran, ask North Korea.
The U.S. claimed North Korea hacked its financial system and stole billions of $$. We are still waiting for them to go and arrest anyone in North Korea. Them no born them well.

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Every time an African country elects a government that tries to keep more of its own resources, Western media discovers a "democracy deficit."
Every time an Asian nation builds technology that competes with Western products, Western governments discover a "security threat."
Every time a Latin American country charts an economic path outside the Washington Consensus, Western financial institutions discover a "stability risk."
The pattern is precise and it has been precise for two centuries.
The West is not afraid of authoritarian governments.
It has funded dozens of them.
The West is not afraid of economic mismanagement.
It has imposed structural adjustment programs that produced exactly that.
What produces the alarm, the specific, urgent, editorial-board-meeting alarm, is independence.
A poor country making its own choices with its own resources for its own people without asking permission.
That is the danger.
That has always been the danger.
Everything else is the vocabulary chosen to describe it in ways that don’t require honesty.

Be like say Yankee dey use jazz on some Africans o, especially Nigerians 😂 because hold up. We are still in 2026, the same year the United States abducted the sitting president of an oil-rich country on charges whose legal basis and jurisdiction have been virtually nonexistent.
And then they moved their capitalists in to share the spoils. But the same Africans saying shit about China today applauded the US for being so cool and powerful. The entire episode was like sports to them; it didn’t even generate any moral outrage.
Venezuelan lives were lost in that operation, with little public accountability for those killed. We don’t even know all their names. They abducted the man and his wife and are now attempting to prosecute them despite serious questions about the legality of the operation and the jurisdiction of American courts.
They have also blockaded Cuba and severely restricted its access to oil supplies, worsening an already desperate electricity crisis. People are dying in Cuban hospitals amid power shortages. And which country has stepped forward with food, oil and solar panels to help cushion the effects of this crisis? Fucking China.
As if that weren’t enough, this same country has bombed Iran, killed its Supreme Leader, and carried out strikes, double-tapped a girls’ school, killing 168 children.
And that’s before we get into the treatment of people from certain countries during the World Cup, the humiliation and discrimination some visitors have experienced just for the country they come from, or the people who have faced punishment, professional consequences and financial exclusion for speaking out against what is happening in Gaza. These are all apparently minor inconveniences, right?
Now, after all of this, what exactly has China done to earn its place as the ultimate global monster that Africans, in particular, must be terrified of?
Its companies withdrew commercial arrangements involving Kylian Mbappé and La Liga after he unwittingly referred to China’s founding leader as a dictator.
They didn’t abduct him, imprison him or threaten his life. They withdrew their own commercial partnerships. That’s essentially what happened.
And somehow, this is the great moral emergency that has sent sections of the African internet into a frenzy.
Meanwhile, you have Africans whose standard of living would be considerably worse without Chinese investment, infrastructure, affordable technology and manufacturing. Some of you would be struggling to keep hospitals, businesses and homes powered without those relatively affordable Chinese solar products. Do you people ever stop to think about the contradictions in your own arguments?
Why are you so eager to enlist in a propaganda campaign against countries whose economic partnerships are helping address some of your most basic developmental challenges?
Why are you so willing to adopt the anxieties and geopolitical priorities of a country that has historically and contemporarily treated much of your continent as nothing but just an arena for its own strategic interests?🤦🏾♂️

As a black messi fan don’t ever let these Ronaldo fans gaslight you into feeling like a bad person for supporting messi

I’m here to debunk one of the biggest myths used to glaze Cristiano Ronaldo:
“Portugal were nothing before Ronaldo.”
That’s simply false.
Portugal has always been a major football nation. The average Portuguese child has a far higher chance of becoming a professional footballer than most countries. This isn’t some tiny footballing underdog like Iceland.
Before Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal had already produced:
• 3 Ballon d’Or winners
• A record 4 European Golden Boots (most by any nation)
At club level, Portuguese football was elite long before Ronaldo.
Benfica were one of Europe’s first superpowers, dominating alongside Real Madrid in the early European Cup era. They reached 9 European Cup/Champions League finals — more than clubs from most footballing nations — and represented Europe on the world stage in the Intercontinental Cup.
Internationally, people love saying Portugal couldn’t qualify for tournaments before Ronaldo.
What they won’t tell you is that World Cups and Euros had only 12-16 teams back then. By today’s qualification formats, Portugal would’ve qualified for several more tournaments, using the old format Ronaldo would have missed 3-4 championships
And Portugal’s greatest World Cup achievement remains their 3rd-place finish in 1966, when Eusébio delivered one of the greatest World Cup performances ever against an era featuring Pelé’s Brazil.
Now people want to use the Nations League — essentially a glorified friendly tournament created for World Cup preparation — to erase over half a century of Portuguese football history and credit everything to one man.
Portugal didn’t become a football nation because of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was fortunate enough to be born into a football nation that was already great.

This is pure MADNESS, An unbelievable scene as the Moroccan player Ismael Saibari tries to steal the Senegalese goalkeeper Mendy's towel, fortunately, there was a Senegalese player there to keep hold of it!
They tried everything and they failed but Senegal came prepared!!!

The guy they’re dragging plays for Nice in France if I’m not mistaken. A Top tier goalkeeper, Yehvann Diouf.
Ball boys are dragging a professional player on the floor. Ball boys? What power do they have?
Look at Saibari too, a champions league player, this is beyond disgraceful brethren.
