@BwalaDaniel That was really a brilliant and superb interview. You did absolutely well, Sir. You’re exactly who Nigeria needs in a spokesperson.

@DStvNg @DStvNg you’re not attending to my complaint. Please urgently resolution is required

@thecableng @BillGates What is this man’s obsession with Nigeria? This isn’t about giving a f*ck about malnutrition in Nigeria.

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with. Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28." The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below. Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it. The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited. I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer. It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do. I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop. It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us. I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself. Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those. It will never be me.

@aedcelectricity I just purchased N10,000 worth of unit and I’m seeing 45kw/hr as unit. A week ago, this same 10,000 gave me 146.8 unit. If my meter has been migrated to Band A, why no communication? Even if that was to be the case, is Band A unit price not supposed to be N206?

@chibuzo_mikel Thank you for taking time to put down this write up. I hope everyone takes time to read this line by line.

@ComradeAI Source, please?

@ibomairlines IbomAir, refund my N244,000 with immediate effect. You can’t suspend a flight at the last minute without any cogent reason and ask me to wait for 10-15 working days for a refund. I didn’t wait for 10-15 working days to make payment for a booking from Abuja to Calabar

@ibomairlines Abuja to Calabar: IbomAir is yet to fix the mess but still asking “what are your plans for this weekend?” Suspending flight at the last minute and sending regrettable message smacks of unapologetic attitude

@Ngwu_bumsy @RealOlaudah Nobody would want to read this. They’ll rather go with a story that has no verifiable source. Thank you for posting this @Ngwu_bumsy

@AbdulMahmud01 Indeed, politics is the bane of Africa’s underdevelopment.

@akintollgate It’s high time that Nigeria stopped conducting elections. It’s a total waste of time and resources if violence, intimidation and apathy keep overwhelming our electoral process. Twenty-four years of democracy and still counting, Nigeria can’t conduct violent free elections.

@InibeheEffiong 😂😂😂😂😂

I would love to express my sincere gratitude to the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Akwa Ibom council,for successfully organizing the gubernatorial debate on Sunday, 29/01/2023. It was a veritable platform for me to highlight some of the programmes we have lined up for the

@philasneakerguy @AfricaFactsZone Just pray that where you are coming from doesn’t have to face with internationally sponsored terrorism. When your country survives it in a week, you can come back on Twitter to cast aspersions on Nigeria.
