KnowAll:
The American President goes to Camp David to retreat.

The UK prime Minister goes to the Chequers

And Putin goes to his Duma Russian retreat. Where does Nigeria president go and retreat no where, no wonder the Governor’s went to Kigali the other day.

The Nigerian president has lots of places that he can go to.

I'll begin with what you are actually getting at.

The official holiday residence of the President of Nigeria is at Obudu Cattle Ranch. It was built during the Obasanjo era. In 2009 President YarAdua announced that he would spend his holiday there, but he fell ill and died before he could actually go there.

President Jonathan actually spent his 2011 holiday there.

There are also other places that the President of Nigeria can go to. President Obasanjo stayed at Dodan Barracks and President Shagari (who lived at Dodan Barracks) stayed at Aguda House in Abuja.

Many states also have presidential lodges that were built by state governments.

Donald Trump is on a state visit to the UK . He had a joint media conference with Keir Starmer at Chequers (the official holiday home of the UK Prime Minister) and journalists asked him about Jimmy Kimmel.

🤣

Donald Trump and Keir Starmer are having a press conference at Chequers and Trump was asked about Jimmy Kimmel.

"Jimmy Kimmel was fired for lack of talent more than anything else. He said a horrible thing about a fine gentleman and . . .he has no talent. He had bad ratings, he was fired for lack of talent".

Was it Donald Trump that got Jimmy Kimmel off the air?

That's not an easy question to answer. Some will say yes and some will say no and they'll both have points.

I've already told you about the feud between Trump and Kimmel, so I don't need to go over that again. Let's look at what happened in the past few days.

Kimmel made the comments on Monday, but it didn't attract any attention. Then the chairman of the FCC talked about it on Wednesday and that's when things started heating up.

What is the FCC? The FCC is like a combination of the NBC and NCC in Nigeria. Basically, they regulate broadcasting and communications.

What did the chairman say?

The chairman (Brendan Carr) said that what Jimmy Kimmel said was terrible and that the FCC would look into it. He said that Kimmel tried to blame MAGA and the Republican Party for what happened. He said that they would look at whether there's some sort of remedy. Then he said that ABC could take action before the FCC does and that would help the company. He said that they could sack Jimmy Kimmel or suspend the show and that he would advise that they do something before the FCC takes action. He said that the FCC grants licenses to TV stations and that they could look at the licenses of TV stations that carry the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

That's ⬆️ why some people believe that Trump was behind the removal.

However, after the FCC chairman's comments, small TV stations that show the Jimmy Kimmel Live show announced that they would drop it. Nexstar, a company that owns the largest number of local TV stations, also announced that they would drop the show.

That's ⬆️ why some say that it wasn't Donald Trump that got it removed. They say that TV stations were dropping the show and that it would mean less viewers and less money, so ABC decided to take it off the air.

However, Nexstar is trying to buy its biggest rival Tegna and it requires regulatory approval from the FCC for the deal to go through. The regulations say that no company can have more than 39% of the TV market (this is to prevent a monopoly) and this deal would give Nexstar control of more than 39% of the market and the FCC chairman has said that they might change the regulation, so Nexstar wants to keep him happy.

What exactly did Jimmy Kimmel say?

1) Jimmy said that we hit some new lows as MAGA people are trying to paint the kid that murdered Charlie Kirk as anything but one of them and they are doing anything they can to score political points from it.

2) He said that in between the finger pointing, there was some grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flag at half mast (which got some criticism), but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.

3) They then cut to a video of reporters asking President Trump questions. They offered condolences on the loss of his friend, Charlie Kirk, and they asked on a personal level how is he holding up.

Donald Trump said, "Very well and by the way, you can see right there all the trucks. They just started construction of the new White House Ballroom, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years and it's going to be a beauty".

4) They cut back to the studio and we can hear the audience laughing. Jimmy Kimmel said, "He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the death of someone he calls a friend, this is how a four-year old mourns a goldfish".

Jimmy was basically pointing out that someone who's supposed to be Trump's friend has just died and Trump is more interested in the construction of the White House Ballroom.

Barrack Obama @BarrackObama

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/let-clear-happened-jimmy-kimmel-025000655.html?

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Education › Smoking & Drinking At Excel College, Ejigbo: Lagos Government Investigating by naptu2(op): 7:27am On Sep 18, 2025

The Lagos State Govt @followlasg

RE: VIRAL VIDEO OF STUDENTS ENGAGING IN ILLICIT BEHAVIOUR IN DORMITORY

The attention of the State Government has been drawn to a disturbing video currently circulating on social media. The video shows a group of students, presumed to be from Excel College, Ejigbo, engaging in acts of smoking and consumption of alcohol within what appears to be a dormitory setting.

The State Government views this incident with the utmost seriousness, as it goes against the core values and behavioural standards expected within the educational system of Lagos State.

We wish to inform the public that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MBSE), via the relevant agency, Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), is fully aware of the content of the video and has commenced a thorough investigation into the matter. Our Monitoring and Investigation team has been dispatched to verify the authenticity of the video, confirm the identities of those involved, and determine the level of institutional oversight.

Preliminary engagements have also begun with the school authorities to gather all relevant facts, and any school found culpable will face appropriate sanctions in line with Lagos State education policies and regulations.

The safety, well-being, and moral values of all students remain paramount to the Lagos State Government. We are committed to ensuring that all learning environments are safe, disciplined, and conducive to the academic and moral growth of every learner.

Mr. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun
Honourable Commissioner
Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education.

My post from November 8th, 2024.

naptu2:
Aha! Donald Trump's best friend!

⬆️ That's sarcasm.

Donald Trump and Jimmy Kimmel have been exchanging insults for the past few months . . .

Past few months? This has actually been going on for years, but it got worse in the past few months.

Donald Trump would have a rally and in the middle of the rally, instead of talking about serious issues like policy, he would start insulting the comedian (saying that his show was terrible, he should be cancelled, etc), then the next day Jimmy Kimmel would say that Trump was obsessed with him, then he would insult Trump (insinuating that Trump was mad, etc).

On one occasion Trump actually mentioned Jimmy's wife (I think he said that he pities her, or something like that) and then Jimmy's wife appeared in the openning segment of the next episode of his show.

So how would Jimmy react to Trump's victory?

This is the opening of the first edition of his show after Trump won the election.

( It begins with Jimmy planning to leave the US).

Historical background.

Donald Trump vs Jimmy Kimmel.

1) Donald Trump says that Jimmy Kimmel is one of the dumbest human beings ever. He said that Jimmy hosted the Academy Awards and just before the best picture award, Jimmy read his (Trump's) tweet in which Trump said that Jimmy was the worst host ever. He said that Jimmy's wife and manager were begging him not to embarrass himself.

Jimmy said that a famous scientist dedicated her life to studying chimpanzees and over time she began interacting with them. He said that he feels like the scientist because he has been observing Trump and Trump is now interacting with him (no offense to chimpanzees). Jimmy's wife appears on the show to support him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOIPRfadAP8?si=8XFdJsqPfLrJZ7sn

2) Trump goes on a podcast and says that Jimmy Kimmel is a loser. He said that another comedian/talk show host is greater than Jimmy. The funny thing is that nobody, not even the hosts of the podcast know who the other comedian is. Trump said that he did Jimmy Kimmel a lot (of course Jimmy joked about that. He said that Trump was confusing him with Stormy Daniels (the porn star that accused Trump of raping her). He said that they've been on air for over 22 years and Trump has only appeared on his show 3 times).
