Nigerians do not know how to have normal connections to public figures. They are trapped in unhealthy parasocial relationships with politicians. Once a Nigerian has accepted a politician as their god and personal savior they lose all sense. Do you want a public servant or a king? A politician you can hold accountable or a prophet who you kneel before and fellate? Politicians are not your friends. They are not your gods. They are not your saviors. They should be working for you and should always be challenged, especially when you are voting for them.

Brighton are currently easily the best team in the Premier League. From a genuine footballing sense it isn’t even debatable.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said I was Igbo after I told them I’m from Akwa Ibom, I for don retire by now. This is what happens when you teach “3 major tribes” in schools from primary level

Meanwhile in Kaduna, the organizers of the Kaduna Fashion and Art Exhibition @kafart_ng had to postpone the event because the government were using the proposed hall for presidential campaigns. Priorities.
I stepped away from the usual business of governance to walk the runway for the incredibly talented Ugo Monye at Lagos Fashion Week. Lagos continues to grow as a home for fashion, creativity and culture and I am always happy to support the people driving this growth.

Security is necessary, and so is effective public administration. Civic and development organisations like @kafartng should not have to bear the consequences of coordination gaps without consideration. @officialABAT @GovKaduna @NGRPresident @KDSG_MBIT

What makes this particularly unfortunate is that @GovKaduna had demonstrated a willingness to accommodate our event, even with a day or two’s disruption. Yet, presidential security protocols ultimately took precedence over our existing arrangements. Because that's to be believed

@kafartng, scheduled for Oct. 22–25 in Kaduna, has had to postpone because the venue administrators said the space was no longer available, owing to the @officialABAT presidential campaign rally scheduled for Oct. 24. The decision has real costs. @NGRPresident
