I just need to rant about something that’s becoming way too common in the Nigerian community and honestly, it needs to stop. Every other week, we’re hearing stories of people cancelling their partner’s visa just because the relationship ended. Like, why? Yes, things may not have worked out. Yes, emotions are high but destroying someone’s life out of spite? That’s pure wickedness. Remember the good times. Remember that this person once meant something to you. Reporting them to the Home Office or revoking their stay isn’t justice, it’s cruelty. We need to do better as a community. Love didn’t work, fine but let’s not turn bitterness into a weapon.

⚠️ 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 ⚠️ 🇺🇸🇳🇬 | Why Washington is Confronting Nigeria… Nigeria has become China’s top African investment hub — $21B in 2025 construction deals + a new $3.5B partnership for solar plants, rail modernization, and industrial expansion under Beijing’s Belt & Road. China is locking Nigeria into its economic orbit — and Washington sees it as a strategic threat.

Una CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE!! 🤣 “I believe China is global threat that must be confronted globally, Today’s Senate hearing, focus on China 🇨🇳 dominance on critical rare earth minerals in Africa” ~ @tedcruz at the Senate committee hearing on USA strategic planning against Russian and China. Me: As someone that is actively in the mining sector for years. I will say this, TED is 100% right. However, our government must stop issuing licenses to foreign companies that want to mine rare earth minerals. Including China. We must preserve this precious minerals at all cost. Until local indigenous companies start mining and processing it to finished and semi-finished products like it is done in Vietnam. 🇻🇳

My PR team wanted me to take this video down. Said my business will suffer. I am doubling down. Money means nothing if it works against truth. I started noOnes to free Africa. I will not stand by and let Nigeria be invaded and turned into a slave market like Libya by these gangsters! We knock this propaganda back and unite and life in Nigeria will improve by leaps and bounds very soon! Here is the truth for you again. Want more ?

Why are we threatening war with Nigeria? Here’s why: Nigeria was the single largest recipient of Chinese construction financing in the first half of 2025, with $21 billion in construction deals, making it a focal point for China’s Belt and Road Initiative. In addition, in late October 2025, Nigeria and China signed a major $3.5 billion investment partnership. This agreement focuses on boosting Nigeria’s infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing sectors, including the construction of new solar power plants, modernization of rail lines connecting major cities and expansion of industrial parks. The partnership is seen as a transformative move for Nigeria’s economic strategy. ….But if the country is in ruin because of war in the name of “saving Christians” China can’t expand their belt and road. That’s the REAL reason we’re threatening Nigeria.

The CPC Hustle: How a Fake Genocide Became Capitol Hill’s Favorite ATM Washington, D.C. – It’s 2025, and the hottest ticket on the Hill isn’t a bipartisan infrastructure bill or a TikTok ban. It’s the Nigerian Genocide Narrative™, freshly dusted off, repackaged, and ready for prime-time grift. The pitch is simple: scream “genocide,” wave a blurry video of bandits on motorbikes, and watch the dollars rain down like manna from a Pentagon budget line nobody reads. The man with the megaphone? Donald Trump, who on October 31 redesignated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) for religious freedom, claiming Christians face “mass slaughter” at the hands of “radical Islamists.” The man with the motive? Not in the Oval Office. He’s in a Georgetown townhouse, sipping overpriced coffee with a Rolodex. In 2020, Trump’s first CPC tag stuck for a hot minute. Aid got frozen. Headlines blazed. Then Biden took office, read the actual State Department reports, and quietly lifted the designation. Why? Because the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) couldn’t find the genocide with a GPS and a prayer chain. Violence in Nigeria’s north? Real. Targeted extermination of Christians? Not in the data. Bandits kill farmers. Farmers fight back. Muslims die. Christians die. Traditionalists die. The only pattern is poverty, not prophecy. The hustlers panicked. Their “humanitarian” NGOs registered in Delaware, operated from WhatsApp saw funding dry up. One consultant reportedly sold his Range Rover. Another had to fly economy to Abuja. Tragedy. Enter 2025. Trump’s back. Truth Social is popping. And suddenly, the genocide is existential again. The same grainy clips from 2018 resurface, now with dramatic music. Behind the scenes, the hustle is surgical. Step 1: Leak a “report” to friendly think tanks. Cite “thousands killed” without dates, locations, or names. Step 2: Book a fact-finding trip. Five-star hotels. Per diem. Instagram selfies with “survivors” who are actually the hotel concierge. Step 3: Trigger the Religious Freedom Industrial Complex. Evangelicals donate. Congress allocates. The money flows to “security training,” “awareness campaigns,” and “administrative costs” (read: a condo in Dubai). The Numbers Don’t Lie (But the Hustlers Do) Nigeria’s population: ~50% Muslim, ~50% Christian. Annual violence deaths: ~8,000–10,000 (UN estimates). Victims by religion: Roughly proportional to population. CPC funding pipeline (2020–2021): $47 million in “religious freedom” grants. Amount reaching actual victims: [redacted for comedic effect]. The Nigerian government that is flawed, chaotic, but not stupid responds with a diplomatic middle finger. “This is banditry, not blasphemy,” says the Foreign Ministry. “We’ve neutralized 3,000 terrorists this year. Half were Muslim. Where’s their CPC?” Let’s be clear: Nigeria has problems. Boko Haram is evil. Herder-farmer clashes are deadly. Corruption eats aid. But turning a national crisis into a sectarian cash cow helps no one except the middlemen with American passports and Nigerian accents. The irony? The loudest voices screaming “genocide” have never buried a cousin in Maiduguri. They’re too busy burying the truth under donor decks. Their real religion isn’t Christianity or Islam—it’s capitalism. And their holy sacrament? The earmark. 1. Demand data. Not vibes. Not viral videos. Actual body counts, verified by the UN or African Union. 2. Follow the money. Every “NGO” getting CPC cash should publish receipts. Down to the last bottle of Evian. Until then, the CPC hustle rolls on. Same script. New season. Same losers: the dead, the displaced, and anyone who still believes Washington cares about Africa for any reason other than leverage, lithium, or lobbyists. Call it what it is: not genocide. Just good old-fashioned greed, dressed up in a dashiki and a cross. No faith required. Just facts.

"Two waters that do not mix." Here are the facts. "Awọn omi meji ti wọn o wọ inu ara wọn." Okodoro ọrọ niyi.
In this song from the Album Ore lope (Good Deed is rewarding), Sikiru AYINDE admonished all not to get discouraged from carrying out good in the face ingratitude and negative energy.  He sang further that good people will reap goodness at the right time. He however warned that good people may still get victimized and chastised but they should never allow snide rhetoric disguised as criticism to discourage them… #BarryNuggets  Album - Ore Lope YOR - 1981

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE Details of The Presidential Pardon and Clemency Illegal miners, white-collar convicts, remorseful drug offenders, foreigners, Major General Mamman Vatsa, Major Akubo, Professor Magaji Garba, capital offenders such as Maryam Sanda, Ken Saro Wiwa, and the other Ogoni Eight were among the 175 convicts and former convicts who received President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mercy on Thursday.

Assignment : Tinubu's first set of Commissioners 1999, where are they now???

My brother from Ojo, Femi Davies was elected into the House of Representatives on the platform of AD but defected to PDP barely a year after and that was the end politically. Have I tried? We all know the story of Kofo Bucknor, she was impeached as Deputy Governor, she ended up in PDP where she is up till now; Senator Musiliu Obanikoro was elected Senator under AD, decamped to PDP, was the party's Governorship candidate in the 2007 governorship election in Lagos State, was Minister and Ambassador but back in APC now, Olusegun Dawodu was in the cabinet of Tinubu while his father, late Ganiyu Dawodu was fighting Jagaban, he resigned. He resurfaced again in 2019 as a Commissioner in the cabinet of Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Saka Shenayon is still an APC Chieftain in Badagry; Eniola Fadayomi went back to private practice while Mumuni Adio is late while Abiola Johnson went back to private practice.

Maybe the North should fight for resource control so they spend their own resources in the region rather than helping Lagos. Since it’s obvious the president is using the money of the North to develop Lagos What do you think ?
N3.6Trillion for 3rd Mainland Bridge, plus N360Billion for Carter Bridge, that's roughly N4Trillion again going into Lagos, plus the initial N7Trillion I estimated earlier, totaling over N11Trillion for Lagos alone in 2yrs. I wonder how my bro @otegaogra will spin & defend this.
