“To show you how ridiculous this is, even poor Elewa, despite not knowing that many people, and with his many troubles handling even his ordinary personal stakes, has once attended a meeting for community stakeholders!

The first thing my lawyer told me was that, don’t help them. Let them do their work and only confirm what they already know. I had a lawyer on retainer so he was at EFCC office even before I got there, this caused a big problem because they claim i shouldn’t have a lawyer on the go when I’m not a criminal. EFCC combed my bank account for 5 days, going through every single transactions from 2017 till 2024, saw a transaction of up to N5M as at 2017 and claimed it was a red flag. Note that they didn’t have any evidence to link it to any crime. EFCC combed through my phones, read hundreds of emails, browsing history, purchase receipts, etc dating back as far as 2017, took me in for profiling three times, and yet, they couldn’t find any shred of evidence linking me to internet fraud EFCC told me that they have reason to detain me for up to 21 days without trial because according to them, I shouldn’t have N5M(single transaction) in my account as at 2017. Let that sink in!! They detained me for 8 days, tortured me for 3hrs the first day and yet they couldn’t find a single, or any shred of evidence linking me to cybercrime. Do you know how crazy it is for EFCC to investigate you for 8 days without finding any evidence of the crime you were arrested for? EFCC told me point blank that we know you’re not into fraud but “we can’t simply let you leave due to the huge sum found in your account” EFCC told my lawyer I said I don’t want to see him three times before he was eventually allowed in EFCC told my family that I declined their visitation request. Lastly EFCC said those who confessed to have committed internet fraud will leave the detention before me and they did. I was the last person to leave despite not finding a single evidence of cybercrime or internet fraud even till now
For those who’ve been detained by EFCC, share your experience. Let the people wey fit soon join learn what to say, what not to say, and what to expect. 😂

I only see 2 obviously fake entries. Are you alluding to majority of the names being of NORTHERN origin @mundus01? If so, don’t you realize that there are pockets of northern voters in Abia state (Aba especially)? Will pockets of SE voters in Kebbi state also be “interesting”?
These are all registered voters in a polling unit in Abia state. Do you find anything interesting with the names?

Please continue SLOWING DOWN @JosephOTegbe! You have slowed down from a peak of 4483.3MW to 4127.5MW this past week. We will be very “grateful” if you slow things down to less than 1000MW by election day. 🙏🏽 #BestMinisterEver

Or people screaming “you’re the most corrupt” “no you’re the most corrupt” at each other. I hope journalists keep pressing all sides on questions of policy! Especially WHERE THEY WILL GET THE MONEY FROM
It's actually giving me a bit of hope. Just a sliver. Typically, pre-election season was typically based on tribal fights with a heavy side of charisma competitions.

A small win. The 2031 elections will be ideologically driven. The larger than life politicians like Tinubu, Atiku will be out of it. Coupled with the federalist reforms, the 2031 candidates will have to really sell distinct visions

The thing with corruption in Nigeria is there are so many rackets in different sectors that, you may never know until someone in that sectors tells you about it.
I didn’t even know about this one. Madness!

Lmao I don’t actually! Substack runs anagram on all my articles and if AI was used it would be labeled there.

Are you saying you don’t use AI? I read your articles weekly. I enjoy them but I know you use AI to enhance writing. What if he used it to enhance the writing

I mean it’s *literally* the same argument. That’s literally what it is.
“if the president is not a thief, the wife is not a thief and the children are not thieves, the corruption problem of the country has been solved by 50%” = “When they see Buhari’s body language they will stop corruption”

Pity yourself nah 🙈😏 if we are crying let’s see front
What IF President Tinubu @officialABAT is actually the Nigerian Deng Xioaping, the one to lay the Foundation for Economic Prosperity via Market Liberalization Policies and Free Market Economy as we are experiencing with Reforms he's leading. Prosperity of Nigeria then would be

Hey! @grok based on my tweets and retweets, I am: - Which dictator? - Which politician? - Which religious figure? - Which historical figure? - Which artist? - Which ideology? - Which foreign political party? - Which poet? - Which fictional character?

🇺🇸 became the world’s largest economy at the height of its systematic corruption in the 19th century. Corruption acts as a variable friction tax rather than an absolute cap on growth. Regardless, I agree 🇳🇬 needs more structure in curbing corruption.
Nigeria absolutely cannot develop if it doesn't tackle corruption. At the same time, any candidate promising to end corruption is likely LARPing In Nigeria, overt anti-corruption crackdowns have a poor success rate. You need incentive management and clever traps.

Intelligent conversation. Not some noise making riff raffs who know nothing about the country.
Samson Esemuede, on why the Federal Government should be weakened of their obligations He says the federal government has an obligation to be in charge of foreign policy, in charge of police, army, secondary school, tertiary institutions, etc. This leads to a lot of borrowing. He says the state governments should take on most of these responsibilities. And the federal government should only be in charge of foreign policies and army.
