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

Please Everyone, I need your help.
From the accident, she has fractures in her hand, leg, and pelvic region. The doctor said the surgery will cost about ₦5 million. It is extensive and will be done in two phases.
First they will operate on her hand and leg. When she recovers from that, they will do the pelvic region.
It has been a painful experience. We have already spent so much on drugs and medications just to keep her stable this far. The pain is still there every day.
A lot of you have followed this from the day of the accident. You have seen the updates. You know what this has been like.
Please, if your heart can move you, even ₦1k, ₦2k, ₦5k, ₦10k, or ₦20k from you will help us. Every little bit carries weight right now.

Thank you for reading this far.
If you were the one that did a HIT AND RUN at Ogudu express, Lagos yesterday evening, just know that it was my wife you hit.
I FORGIVE YOU, I really do.
Getting the call and the news was heartbreaking and caused tears but I FORGIVE YOU.
I FORGIVE YOU
I'm grateful to and for the Man that kept her conscious rendering first aid till the Ambulance got there.

I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age.
Their criteria is always;
> below 27
> NYSC certificate
>2.1
> atleasg 1yr experience
But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country.
A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line.
He doesn't have a first class.
He didn't go to any university.
He's not young.
But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent.
Make it make sense
We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation.
Judicious in Micro economics but dastardly stupid in macroeconomic conditions.

I survived a whole kidnapping attempt.
I lived under Anas's protection for months with armed police assigned on permanent patrol outside the house. If you're familiar with Ghana, you know how unusual it is to see police patrolling with machine guns in public.
When I eventually had to go hide in Kenya for a while in 2023, I was switching short lets every week because I was a whole fugitive. I wrote a 590-page book about this. That book was on @Rovingheights's 2024 bestsellers list.
And though all this, after selling 30% of West Africa Weekly for $30,000, I used some of that money to fund a federal case in the US for the specific purpose of "holding my government accountable" - the exact same federal case that is still the closest thing that exists to an actual challenge to your president's power in Nigeria.
I physically served papers to the US Department of Justice and lit myself on fire to "hold leadership accountable" so what the fuck are these people talking about? People who have never even sent a written petition to their local council chairman are attacking someone who has taken a sitting president plus the FBI, DOJ, CIA, IRS, DEA and State Department to court for "not holding leaders accountable"?
Is everybody in Nigeria high on crack cocaine?

Five days into my next undercover investigation, set to be released by @fijnigeria later this week, I sent the picture in Frame 1 to my three-man backroom team. They all laughed at me, one of them remarking I looked “like a fisherman”.
The pictures in frames 2 and 3 are from my 44th day on the field. Nobody was in ebullient mood this time. They all screamed instead. None of them could say it, but I knew I could pass for a mad man on the streets.
Meanwhile, Frame 4 is who I was before I embarked on the project.
It is the first time ever that I’ve given the public a glimpse into the making of an undercover investigation. I do it this time to contextualise public understanding of the physical, material and mental cost of investigative reporting. Behind every daring work of investigation you have read is several weeks, sometimes months, of self-sacrifice by the journalist.
Of higher importance, I do it to remind younger journalists that investigative journalism isn’t the white-collar stardom propeller many seem to think it is; more often than not, it is about getting your hands dirty while still believing this is hands down the best job in the world!
It feels good to be fully back on social media after nearly five months out…

When it's white people it's an investment but because he's an African it's now betting?
Senegal and Al-Nasser star Sadio Mané is betting 11.7 billion CFA francs ($20.4 million) on a mango production complex in his hometown of Bambali.
"I want the wealth of our land to stay here, at home," Mané told reporters at the project's opening ceremony in Dakar. Full story: bloom.bg/4y2E7Uu

My both kidneys failed at 31.
I went through Dialysis three times a week. I was dying slowly.
They put me on the transplant list and said I might not last. One night after dialysis I could not stand the pain. I shouted to God until I had no voice left:
The next test before transplant showed my kidneys working again.
No dialysis since. It's been four years and they still work.
The specialist said he had never seen such a thing.
I gave the rest of my life to God.

Maybe I’m finally broken. I have reached my own breaking point as a Nigerian. This may be it.
The dèath of the Wushishi boys is it for me.
We are being kidnapped.
No health care, no water, no light.
If we can’t agree as a nation that this is unacceptable, ahhhh.
