In as much as we all want the happy ever after ........there are a lot of issues in this marriage that needs resolution. 1-There is an allegation of him marrying her at the age of 17. That's statutory rape under British law, of which he is a licensed solicitor. This could get him the Ekweremadu treatment if he steps into the United kingdom. 2-There is also an allegation of rampant drug use by multiple members of his household, which technically exposes a lot of minors to drug use, that also doesn't look good.Its technically child endangerment. 3-There is also a circulating audio with him allegedly boasting about hitting her twice on the face, this also could amount to self indicting statement of domestic violence. In saner climes he should be suspended from the senate and it should be investigated. 4-There has also been allegations of restrictions of her movement, which technically could be allegations of kidnap. I don't know who is advising the senator, but i think the senate needs to intervene before we lose another senator to the old bailey court in London. The United Kingdom don't take allegations like this with levity for a licensed solicitor under their authority. |
Open your eyes and connect the dots: • When Russia became Europe’s largest oil and gas supplier, the U.S. engaged in conflict with Russia. • When Iran and Iraq dominated Middle Eastern oil and gas exports, the U.S. went to war with them. • When Venezuela became a top oil and gas supplier in South America, the U.S. sought confrontation. • When Libya offered subsidized fuel, free healthcare, and education funded by its oil wealth, the U.S. intervened militarily. Now, Nigeria hosts one of the largest refineries in the world, with the potential to supply petrol across Africa and even beyond. History shows a pattern: when nations gain energy independence or control, they attract external pressure. Nigeria may be next in the crosshairs. |
Botragelad:Have you guys done another False Flag again ? The world knows what you are capable of.......you cant fool us. Since its reported by the Jewish man on Nairaland.....watch and see how it plays out. |
See the people starving .....He wont see this

DoctorStanley:You shared it. Why are you acting naive, when caught ? LMAO

A great number of senators have no business being in the National Assembly. They contribute nothing meaningful to Nigeria’s progress and seem entirely disconnected from the realities their constituents face. Instead of legislating solutions or championing the needs of the people who elected them, many simply occupy seats, collect allowances, and chase personal relevance. Their Senate committees, which should serve as powerful instruments of oversight and reform, lie dormant and ineffective. Rather than tackling issues within their sectors, they pass every responsibility to the presidency, as though governance were a one-man show. What we have today is not a Senate of thinkers and reformers, but a club of complacent career politicians — men and women content to draw benefits while the country they swore to serve continues to crumble under their watch. |
smtx:Your attempt to portray Hamas as merely “sacrificing civilians” is a cynical deflection from the tragic reality that the vast majority of victims in Gaza are innocent civilians, including thousands of children. Independent Israeli military intelligence data leaked in 2025 now confirms that over 80% of the Palestinians killed in Gaza during the recent conflict are civilians, an extraordinarily high civilian death toll even for modern warfare . While you claim the IDF targets only Hamas leaders, the reality on the ground is starkly different. The scale of destruction in dense urban areas, including deadly strikes on hospitals, refugee camps, schools, and residential neighborhoods, reflects military tactics marked by disproportionate force. According to Gaza health authorities, tens of thousands of women, children, and elderly have died in Israeli operations far exceeding militant casualties . Labeling Palestinian civilians as “necessary sacrifices” ignores the enormous human cost and suffering inflicted by relentless bombardment. Your sanctimonious defense of Israel’s “strategic elimination” mission falls flat against the overwhelming evidence of mass civilian deaths and the use of starvation and blockade. Perpetrating a genocide and calling it a war is a vile action its own. The world voted and we came to the conclusion. |
godwinngbede:Your lil propaganda videos.....lol The mask has fallen of Israels face, the whole world sees them for who they are now. They are now the highest baby killers in the world. No disease or natural disaster kills babies like the IDF. |
Palestinians shall be free, no matter Israel propaganda. Colombian President Gustavo 2025 In front of UN Building General Assembly After walking out from Netenyahu's speech.

Netenyahu should be arrested, the world has to abide by the international criminal court ICC. |
favour32: Palestinians want to live in Palestine. Biafrans dont even want to live in Biafra, they rather live in Lagos,Abuja,Kaduna,Kano where there is peace. Palestinians are safe within themselves. Biafrans have the highest number of civil unrest, kidnappings and assassinations amongst themselves. |

SeverusSnape: Garri and yam prices are finally coming down, we can finally enjoy pounded yam. Hamas is not even an entity, it was a made up name to justify Genocide. |
Difrent:I will bet you, it was sponsored by netenyahu and his gang to steal the whole of Palestinian land. There was no such thing like Oct 7th. HE QUICKLY ANNOUNCED THIS IS ISRAEL'S 9/11...JUST TO JUSTIFY THE GENOCIDE HE WAS PLANNING TO COMMIT. |
Brightest04:They are not terrorists, they are resistance fighters defending their homeland against occupation. Israel routinely uses flimsy pretexts to seize more Palestinian land while locking up Palestinians for decades without trial. Palestinians must navigate permits and visas just to move inside their own territory. This occupation must end. They deserve their own space, freedom, and the immediate release of all innocently incarcerated Palestinians. Calling them terrorists is nothing more than propaganda. Palestinians didn’t “wake up crazy one day”; they are fighting for their survival and basic human rights. |
TheBizGenius:LOL, I get it, you’re starting to see the bigger picture. I’m not a NEPO baby, but I’ve made myself NEPO. I could buy a private jet tomorrow if I wanted to. Yet, I also have siblings who wouldn’t even be able to give you $100 if their life depended on it. So yeah, we exist in both worlds. I don’t hate on NEPO babies, but don’t come at me bragging that you aren’t NEPO, that’s the line I won’t tolerate… lol. Honestly, sometimes I think being born with nothing is an advantage. You’ve got nothing to lose, so you can take the wildest risks without fear. You don’t have to live in the shadow of a famous father or uncle. You carve your own path and earn that first-generation respect,which, let me tell you, is like a drug. |
Who is really bankrolling these insurgents in such a harsh economy? How are they affording advanced arms, bullets, Hilux trucks, and motorbikes? Why are there no arrests even after attacks? Are these people ghosts? With the decades of policing experience at the NSA level (Ribadu), we are supposed to believe he doesn’t know what’s happening? Banditry in Nigeria is clearly staged, to siphon billions from FAAC allocations meant for security and defense. Funds that should be going to healthcare, education, and youth empowerment are being funneled into a phantom insurgency. We are not buying the “insurgent story.” This is a scam. Nigerian soldiers have proven themselves abroad. ECOMOG campaigns, peacekeeping operations,they can defeat insurgents and opposition. Yet, somehow, on home turf, we are made to look helpless. ##Scam bandits## |
JibolaUsman:I agree, he undeniably has strong business acumen. But let’s be realistic, he had leverage, probably among the top three in Nigeria. If everyone had access to that level of leverage, there would certainly be others wealthier than him. At the very least, when compared to other NEPO babies, he stands out. So yes, we can agree: he is a NEPO baby, but one with genuine business skill. |
Fearurcreeator:Who tell you, say we no get money ? |
nedekid:True, not everyone can multiply opportunities like Dangote did, but let’s not ignore the structural reality: • Gatekeeping Capital: Dangote accessed loans, forex allocations, and import licenses that 99% of Nigerians could never touch. Without insider banking trust and political cover, most entrepreneurs hit a brick wall. • Protected Industries: Cement, sugar, oil, these were shielded by tariffs and policies designed to favor big players. Competition was crushed at the policy level, ensuring his dominance. • Inherited Leverage: Unlike your steward example, Dangote didn’t just get “money”, he got networks, contracts, and policy support, which multiply wealth far faster than cash in hand. • Survivorship Bias: For every Dangote, there are dozens of elite heirs who squandered fortunes. His success doesn’t erase the fact that the playing field is tilted in his favor, not accessible to the average Nigerian. Celebrating Dangote without acknowledging state protection, family privilege, and structural rigging is rewriting history. His discipline is real, but his runway was never available to ordinary Nigerians. |
WorldRichest:You think i dont have a refinery ? Why are you leaving your life to worry about mine ? |
Softmirror: Are we removing subsidy on saying the truth in Nigeria ? We should just let people lie and get away with it ? LMAO |
While Aliko Dangote portrays himself as a self-made industrial titan, there is a compelling case to argue that he is, in fact, a full-fledged NEPO baby, leveraging inherited privilege and entrenched social networks to accelerate his rise: 1. Family Wealth and Influence • Dangote’s maternal family, the Dantatas, were among West Africa’s wealthiest dynasties in the 1940s–1960s. Wealth here is not just financial, it’s social capital, political connections, and elite networks, all of which are invaluable in business. • His paternal family also held wealth and influence, giving him access to elite education, mentorship, and exposure to high-stakes business early on. 2. Access to Capital and Networks • Starting a cement trading business requires seed capital, banking trust, and industry connections. While Dangote claims he started small, the ease of accessing credit, suppliers, and contracts in Lagos is highly unlikely for someone without elite backing. • Nepotistic leverage manifests subtly: his uncle provided initial guidance and a foothold in Lagos commerce, something most aspiring entrepreneurs never get. 3. Structural Advantage in Infrastructure & Government Contracts • Dangote’s empire thrived in sectors historically dominated by politically connected elites, like cement, sugar, and oil. • His success was facilitated by regulatory and government environments favoring those with insider knowledge and access. Ordinary entrepreneurs face significant barriers in these markets. 4. Branding as Self-Made While Benefiting from Legacy • Public messaging frames Dangote as building from scratch, but cherry-picking “working with an uncle” while downplaying inherited social, educational, and network advantages is a classic NEPO narrative. • True self-made billionaires rarely have direct family dynastic connections that shield them from systemic risks in emerging markets. Congrats building it from the scratch, show some more empathy and sanitize your trucking system, too many Nigerians are dying for your profit. Lets aim for more dollars and also show mercy and pity. Nobody will be buried with a single dollar. We are all leaving it in this world. Whether millions or billions or trillions.

ERockson: Lere Olayinka should be fired. He is political baggage. He has no idea what his Job is.....He is not a legislator. Tinubu is allowing all the appointees without mandates run around and insult his electoral base. He should set and example with one of them. Fire him out of the blues. And tell Nigerians he wont tolerate anyone that tries to trample on Nigerians rights to freedom of speech. We are not in the military era. This is democracy. |
ERockson: My identity is not the issue here, the Constitution is. Section 39 guarantees me the right to speak freely with or without attaching my name or ID to it. Democracy protects anonymous speech just as much as open speech, because ideas matter more than faces. Only dictators demand identities before listening to citizens. If the truth stings so badly that you need my BVN before you can confront it, then you’ve already lost the argument. |
erad:Not sure where you got the emotions from.....but i am glad you are able to realize logic. What makes Lere Olayinka’s stance unconstitutional is his call to restrict or bottleneck social media access through NIN and BVN requirements. Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended) guarantees freedom of expression and the right to hold opinions under Section 39. Trying to condition citizens’ ability to speak, comment, or criticize government on bureaucratic gatekeeping is an attempt to curtail that right without due process of law. Olayinka is not an elected official, yet he openly advocates measures that would gag Nigerians instead of addressing the core issues of corruption and accountability. That is why I describe his utterances as anti-constitutional, they are hostile to a right the Constitution explicitly protects. |
Iphupa: This is the same thing that happened during military regime (anybody advocating for democracy was called a coup sponsor ) You guys are slowly taking us back to the dark days. When we speak on matters that need to be addressed,even as people who voted Tinubu you call us ADC,NNPP,Obedients all sorts of names.....lol |
What has Pat Utomi done when we have a Musician on the tarmac trying to stop an aircraft from taking off !!! Its high time we stop using the courts to haunt individuals for speaking up.....Tinubu came to power criticizing the likes of Abacha for being dictatorial....now we are seeing worse dictatorship. KWAM1 must be arrested. |
This post is to distract Nigerians from the ongoing issues going on in the country. Ignore all these distractions and hold the government accountable. Dont let them deceive you with posts like this. |
The U.S. economy has never fully healed. Not after 9/11, not after COVID. What once was a magnet for global capital, particularly from the Middle East, has turned into a fortress of paranoia and suspicion. We used to thrive on diversity, ambition, and global trust. Now? We chase away billionaires with brown skin while handing the keys of our foreign policy to Zionist war puppeteers. Let’s be clear: Middle Eastern investors once poured trillions into American real estate and capital markets, not because they had to, but because they wanted to. They believed in the American dream. But after the manufactured 9/11 false flag, Washington didn’t just go after “terrorists”, it went after its own best customers. The result? Capital flight. And guess where it went? The U.K., a nation that, despite its colonial scars, still understands that if you respect global investors, they’ll reward you with wealth and loyalty. Meanwhile, America is cozying up to Israel, calling them “allies” while ignoring that Israel is a geopolitical arsonist. They stir up hornets’ nests across the Middle East, then run back under America’s skirt screaming “Save us!” Their foreign policy is a Molotov cocktail, and they’ve turned America into the fireman expected to clean up the mess every time. Let’s not sugarcoat it: Zionists have hijacked American narratives. They’ve weaponized language—labeling critics as Islamists, jihadists, anti-Semites, or Muslim Brotherhood operatives. They create bogeymen out of thin air: ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah—tools for endless war and endless funding. While Arab billionaires are vilified, surveilled, and denied visas, Zionist lobbyists quietly drain the U.S. treasury with billion-dollar aid packages and endless arms deals. One brings capital. The other brings conflict. Guess which one America embraces? BRICS wasn’t formed in a vacuum. It’s a response—a backlash to Zionist meddling, economic bullying, and the collapse of American neutrality. The rest of the world is building bridges while America keeps burning them. Here’s the bitter truth: Your enemies aren’t automatically my enemies. And if you start a war, you damn well better finish it yourself. Until America breaks free from the Zionist leash and reclaims an independent foreign policy, it’s marching toward internal collapse—economically, diplomatically, and morally.
