This escape is narrated in such a funny way in my favourite episode of the @DirtyLiePod 😂😂😂 podcasts.apple.com/ng/podcas…
About 20 years ago, Bayelsa governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha pulled off one of Nigeria’s wildest escapes. Charged in the UK for laundering £1.8m, he got a tummy tuck in Germany, disguised himself in a wig and dress, took the Eurostar to Paris, flew to Douala, and sneaked into Bayelsa by speedboat—where he was welcomed as a hero. He was impeached later that year, pleaded guilty in 2007, and got just 2 years in prison. Source: theguardian.com/world/2005/n…

All this marriage discourse is telling me is that a lot of Nigerians still don’t know their history or understand the major role colonialism played in it

This weeks book recommendation is “Why We Struck” Ademoyega tells the story of the first coup from his perspective as one of the major planners. He attempts to bust the narrative of the coup as an ‘Igbo coup’ and shares the motivations and plans behind the coup.

.It is necessary reading for any student of Nigerian history- the book gives more color to Nigeria in the 1960s and is a starting point to understand what came after our first bloody truncation of democracy in Nigeria.

There’s an episode on this on @DirtyLiePod podcasts.apple.com/ng/podcas… And yeah it happened 😭💀
GenZs might not know that what's happening in Rivers today is kindergarten level of what happened in Anambra, up to 2003 when a governor was abducted & held captive to the confusion of the entire state, & government house was bombed. PO came in and dismantled the entire system

The best way to enjoy this tale is by listening to the From Japa to Japan episode of @DirtyLiePod
The Binance exec that escaped Nigeria reminds me of the 2019 escape of former Nissan CEO from Japan 😅 “At 10.30pm on a cold December night in 2019, a former titan of the global car industry lay bundled inside a box on board a plane, waiting to flee Japan” bbc.com/news/business-577609…
