Folks, I was at a Peter OBI and Labor Party Town Hall event yesterday here in Atlanta. The Crowd !! Folks drove for hours and and other flew in. The truth is that, we are witnessing the dawn of a NEW ERA, Win, Lose or Draw.
You graduated from University more than 3 years ago, but to date, you have no meaningful employment.
There are neither electricity nor running water where you live, nor, are the roads passable. Your Bank account is at the other end of positive cash flow.
The Labor Party, Peter Obi, Dr Datti and their Supporters are on TV, Social Media and Newspapers marketing their candidates just about everyday. Other than attacking Labor Party, I don’t see anything from both PDP and APC and their supporters.

Before you know it, the small shopping gesture has ballooned into almost 4 times what I spent. I excused myself, claiming I was going to “ATM”. Went into my car and left. Never went back and never picked her calls again.
@asemota
LOL! Thought I was the only person who has done this! Mine was NOT food though. Mine was, I wanted to surprise her. I did some shopping. Took it to her. She complained about my choices. I said ok, let’s go exchange them. She came with 3 family members.
LESSONS for IPOB\IGBOS from Northern IRELAND. A major electoral UPSET is unfolding in far away Northern Ireland this evening, and it presents a great learning opportunity for IPOB\IGBOS. I am talking about the IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY (IRA) of Northern Ireland.
@magicalmoonbabe
DON’T EVER let that line of thinking cross your mind! Here is a JOB for you. I WILL PAY you to write 3 Stories for me. YOU choose the Topics. It could be about ANYTHING. Life where you live, Food, Fashion, etc. Just make it interesting. I have followed you DM me

The “government” is not interested is solving the problem because the government is the “problem”. El Rufia once stated that the government does not see see them as a problem. They are just doing “normal” business.
Cheering for, wasting taxpayers money, to repaint an airplane that belongs to another nation, is, in your opinion, the “right” thing to do.
Luckily, REALITY, is a very Patient bird. Look closely at a mirror, IF, you have one.
A mind is truly a TERRIBLE thing to waste.
The collapse of FTX will lead many “smart” Nigerians to start rambling about “how Smart Emefiele and CBN were” in blocking Crypto Currencies in Nigeria. NO, they are NOT! They will attempt to position him as a “visionary”. NO, he’s still one of the WORST to ever lead CBN.
Do you know who this Woman is/was ?
Her name is Florence Seriki. She is the Founder of OMATEK COMPUTERS, Nigeria. She died in 2017 from complications related to Cancer. A trailblazing Nigerian woman who built a thriving Computer Assembly Co, back before Computers became common.
There’s a big Class Action Lawsuit making its way here in US about those things our Ladies use on their hair. Turns out they are the origins of High Cancer Rate occurring in Black Women. Here is the link
Africans quietly moved to natural products for the hair and skin without fuss. My wife started carrying her own hair and even cut it. She had been using raw Shea Butter only as her skincare routine for years. The only problem we have is with soaps. Dove is still better than ours.
To make things worse, you are afraid to visit your own village, for fear of being kidnapped. Even when you summon up the courage to dare, you are extorted every mile of the journey, by men and women in uniforms.
These are the REALITIES and actual existence of your daily life.
Inexplicably, you have chosen to live in an alternative world. A world filled with alternative truths; clothed in tribal and ethnic bigotry and jingoism, masked as “party affiliation and membership”.
Egged on by intellectual FRAUDS, YOU have forgotten YOUR OWN predicament.
Reaffirms my contention that, money is NOT in “Tech”. Rather, the money is in using TECH, to identify and exploit opportunities. Sadly, most folks seem to be chasing “Tech”.
Found this at Aldi. Now I know how my friend makes $5m+ a year exporting flowers from Kenya.
I am tired of tech. Trade and retail are now my passions. So many arbitrage opportunities people are ignoring.
A company in Ghana and Togo does $700m+ exporting bananas and pineapples.
You live in a world where the important “things” that matter to you, is, the handshake between Pete Edochie and another Chief.
Somehow, accentuating leadership failures is your new calling and claim to “fame”. Celebrating incompetence has become an “honorable” pursuit for you.
YOU WON! AFRICA Won! It is ALL BECAUSE YOU got involved. Incase you have not heard, US, today announced they will NOW start working with the new Leadership in NIGER.
.This is Huge. It marks the FIRST time AFRICANS have taken on Global Media and Won

One of the major handicaps we face in Nigeria is that, we always blame these Imaginary “leaders”. How about blaming THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FOOLISH enough to attend the church? Shouldn’t they be at the forefront of protecting their own life? Whatever happened to responsibility?
HAHAHA! That Tweet from Elon is becoming clearer now.
@DrJoeAbah
Think I predicted what was going to happen and it has not even been a week! A major Bitcoin Miner just announced they will be buying Emissions Credits! Guess who the largest seller is? TESLA!!

@asemota
NOTHING that happens in Nigeria that does not happen over here. Really Nothing, and they even occur in grand scales than what we have in Nigeria.
The US Ban: A short Thread: Contrary to all the noise being made, the facts are the facts. 1. The Ban has nothing to do with the reasons advanced, but rather, it has everything to do with Domestic Politics and a Declining current majority population and low fertility rates.
As expected, the recently announced plan by GHANA and Côte d'Ivoire to take control of their natural resources by forming an Association that markets and sets a mutually beneficial pricing structure for them has come under attack.
As it currently stands, IPOB and their leadership can toe same line. The longer they wait, the more their chances slip away as more gruesome crimes are being perpetrated by TERRORISTS claiming to represent them.
These days, we all use Google Maps or some variants to find our ways around town. BUT did you know the Technology behind it was developed by a WOMAN? A BLACK Woman! Yep! A black Woman Mathematician, Dr. Gladys West, is the brains behind it.
Pat UTOMI apologized for backing the wrong team in the previous elections. Events opened with a Christian Prayer, Followed by a Moslem Prayer, followed by National anthems of both Nigeria and US. You don’t have to vote for Peter OBI, to ADMIRE his grasp of NUMBERS!
Take a closer look at what just happened in Northern Ireland. Don’t like Northern Ireland? Take a look at LEBANON. Same model same results. If it worked in these two nations, it will also work for you guys. The Templates are already there; simply copy and paste.
@Elkrosmediahub
The joke we make over here is that, always buy two. You drive one while the other is in the shop. By the time the shop finishes fixing the other, the second one is ready to go in. Very problematic and expensive vehicle to own even here in US. We did a Thread on it. Check my TL
I WONDER why Nigerians don’t push back at these narratives. Nigeria RANKS NUMBER 2 Worldwide In CRYPTO USAGE. However, NIGERIA is NOWHERE mentioned in top 10 Criminal users. That ranking belongs to North Korea, US, CHINA etc.
I get more spammers from India than anywhere else. Yet, Nigerians are the criminals?
Nigeria has low-level gangsters who make blunders and are caught easily. It gives the wrong perception of numbers. India seems to have an entire industry of spammers and high-tech con artists.
Denial is always “good” for the denier, but Reality is a different thing. Reality is, they are losing goodwill as more and more Igbos are killed regardless of who is doing the killings and tagging IPOB.
@DrJoeAbah
Sir, here is a trick that you may want to try. Learned it many years back.
Simply RECORD yourself. Then, PLAYBACK the recording and listen to yourself. Do it OVER AND OVER for about 1 month, removing those “ehm”, “you know” in each iteration of same speeches.
This Thread is for IGBOS, but feel FREE to read if you are not. HAPPY SUNDAY to all of you!
As
@DrJoeAbah
would say, “This is Your Conscience Speaking”. Up North, more than 300,000 people have been KILLED, by a MURDEROUS group called BOKO HARAM.
In mid 90’s, IRA changed tactics and joined the electoral process. They nominated their own candidates, who, armed with the goodwill of the IRA and the masses behind them, started winning seats after seat in the governing process.
@AjikeOmoObaMeta
How will my “tribal person” being president change my life? Buhari was for 8 years, many Northerners got killed and are worse off today than when he came in. GEJ was, too; how did it change the lives of his folks and the South in general?
Second Reality is, the MISCREANTS and TERRORISTS who are killing Igbos lack the intellect to lead and run an effect nation, if and when their armed struggle succeeds; chances of which remains very minimal at best.
A national elections was held this week and from all indications, they have won and taken control of governance in Northern Ireland. Even the British gov has now admitted defeat, and will now have to follow the rules made by their once arch enemies.
@asemota
Other than Kidnapping, FX is the most lucrative business in Nigeria. The CBN funds the so called “Black Market”. Did you know, some of those “black market” guys operate INSIDE Banks? For large sums, I was told, inside Banks are the safest places. Try it yourself.
@asemota
Now he has moved to Peter OBI. Curiously, they are ALL from same neighborhood. We seem to have a Tin god, who doesn’t want anyone to outshine him. I am of the opinion it is a character flaw. All these other folks can’t all be wrong while he’s the only one that’s “right”.
The problem with Africans and particularly Nigerians is that, we spend too much time looking for “Messiahs”. Where none exists, we create or anoint one. Even when they are unwilling to accept such anointments, we force it on them and them expect them to excel and deliver .
@ezinwa_uche
@asemota
Here is another thing I have learned. A person that has made and lost a lot of money stands a better chance of making it again than someone who has never made any in their life. If DANGOTE was to lose all his money today, he will be a billionaire again before most of us!
@asemota
Even when US FBI data says otherwise, some Nigerians keep on pushing the narrative and indirectly portraying innocent Nigerians as “criminals”. Most of the Spam emails claimed be be from Nigeria are Not from Nigeria. All anyone has to do is track the emails
Do you Know who this "cowboy" is? Do you this man? I BET you don't! Don't feel bad though. 90% of Nigerians don't know him neither. What has he got to do with BURNA BOY? You will find out soon. One of the SAD things about some Young Nigerians is that, they REFUSE to learn!
LMAO! One sure thing that Labor Party and Peter OBI have that neither APC, nor PDP have is that, Perter OBI is an ARMY of TECH savvy volunteers working for FREE, determined to take Nigeria back. At home and in diaspora, they are deploying their tech skills to unmask CLOWNS!
@asemota
LOUDER SIR! Louder! The bigger issue is that, for some inexplicable reason(s), Nigerians have chosen to “Own” and amplify the bogus narrative of “all Nigerians being engaged in criminal activities”.
Yes, Luxury Real Estate business in LAGOS, has essentially collapsed. People who can afford to make such purchases now view Lagos as a hostile Real Estate investment environment. In contrast, places such as ASABA, ENUGU, OWERRI are now premier destinations.
People don't know the long term implications of all this. I wish all those involved luck. Someone I know selling real estate in Lagos has had his worst year ever. Nobody is buying.
In one Breath, THIS LYING woman
@CatrionaLaing1
LIED to the world about how “peaceful” Nigerian “elections” were. In another breath, her embassy is closed for the “safety” of her employees. There’s a special PLACE IN HELL for LIERS like her!
Hey folks, I am looking for ANYONE who can locate THIS guy in this picture and Secure a few minutes Interview with him.
The question to ask is simple. “How has your life changed”?
I will pay 50K.
MUST BE A RECORDED VIDEO.
For non students of history, for decades, IRA, ran a running battle with British government for almost identical reasons and more as IPOB started out with. It was a non winnable war for them against a better armed and funded British government.
@asemota
We seem to have a guy who is bipolar for lack of better term. A Smart Economist, but a very Horrible Politician. He spent a lot of time fighting his Inlaw, Dora Akunyili. When she died or was it simultaneous, he waged a vicious campaign against Ngozi Iweala.
Each time you land in Dubai, there are folks, well dressed, brochures, flyers and what have you, trying to sell you Luxury Condos and Flats. Why don’t they do this in Lagos? I am thinking LEKKI would be a good market for this.
One thing that Nigerians MUST accomplish in the upcoming elections is A TOTAL rejection of people with Questionable backgrounds in leadership positions. Take FEMI GBAJABIAMILA for example, here in US he would not be elected to even village council head.
@asemota
I say same thing everyday. Folks need to watch a LOT of money disappear if they really want to learn how to make money. It hits you, then you wake up! Nothing really is worth worrying about!
Janet Yellen was in “Africa” two weeks ago to “warn” Africans of the “dangers” of “Chinese Debt Trap”. She will soon be followed by her Deputy secretary, Wally Adeyamo, to amplify the crescendo of alleged “Chinese Debt Trap”. Curiously, AT NO TIME, did she mention GHANA.
Now that both BAT and ATIKU have SNUBBED Kadaria Ahmed and her NTA networks, what is she going to do about it? Absolutely NOTHING! Imagine going into a store to buy a complicated device you have never used before. Before the purchase, you ask to be educated on how it works.
Those of you that have followed me for long know that, I am a “Mechanic”, in my spare time. One year ago, I saw this car for sale at a ridiculously low price. The problem was that, the ROOF did not work!. I bought it anyway, determined to fix it MYSELF.
KUDOS! This Handle is doing more for the SOUTH EAST, than the governments leading the region, EXCEPT Alex Otti
@alexottiofr
! You may not have noticed it, but these images he’s sharing are being picked up by AI models for better representation and model training.
Fredrick LUGARD justified that amalgamation citing Business interests and needs of the British Crown. His book, filled with vulgar and racist justifications is an explanation of why things are the way they are in Nigeria. YES, it is not a nation designed to work.
I think we keep making the mistake of not realizing what Nigeria really is and comparing it with what it is not. Nigeria is NOT a nation. It is an amalgamation of communities. The diversity and complexity are not advantages when politics is involved. They become liabilities.
Here is the even more interesting stuff,
Though event ticket SOLD OUT!!
$5000, $1000, $500, all SOLD OUT within hours. $250, $100, $50 and FREE was also available. IGBOS, YORUBAS, EFIK, EDO, you name it, they were there! Quite impressive!
@asemota
Nigeria should START exporting this thing. Here in US, it has been turned into a multi BILLION$ LEGAL industry by the Government. The folks arresting these folks probably smoke it themselves. Our hypocrisy knows no bounds!
@balogunfd
@cchukudebelu
France is already panicking. Notice how quickly they dispatched emissaries just few months ago when Cameroon signed a military pact with RUSSIA? Imagine NIGER asking to take full control of their URANIUM mines? Time will tell.
Folks, Let’s talk TECHNOLOGY! Let’s talk WEB3.0. So what exactly is Web3.0? A few days back,
@DrJoeAbah
asked if anyone could explain Web3.0 in simple English. A lot of folks gave him very good answers; but I noticed one thing missing or that was not clearly explained.
@cchukudebelu
I have long been of the opinion, that real and serious discussions occur in Beer Parlors and Barber shops. Trying to discuss anything other than “Heaven” with those “fanatics”, sorry, I meant to say, “religious folks”, is a waste of time.
@OsosaChris
Let me decode your Dog whistle. “IGBOS should vote for BAT, simply because he’s from Lagos; if not, IGBOS risk alienating the city where they make their billions”! Go ahead and be brave enough to say what you mean. So what’s your point, Sir? These ethnic dog whistles add ZILCH.
@adetolaov
The end result of what is currently happening is that, the vague notion of “international” this and that is now forever buried. From Sports to Business and Global Finance, it’s destroyed. The western world is brazenly engaged in massive thievery of person assets.
@asemota
I spoke to a Dealer from the said part of the country that runs FX markets. The words on the street is that, “an economic war is being declared on that part of the country…..”. The argument is that, Tens of Thousands of are employed in that sector. They will NOT go quietly.
Is OSIBANJO still the VP of Nigeria? IF yes, did the President hand over to him while he is in London ? IF not, is this not an impeachable breach? If yes, why is nobody talking about it?
THIS man, is here on X, making fun of Peter OBI, donating his OWN MONEY to drill a Borehole that provides portable water to HIS REGION. The man was a member of the Leadership that held his region HOSTAGE for 8 LONG YEARS! Let him show us the Boreholes he drilled with his money
I have talked about this BEFORE, but let me talk about it AGAIN. YOU DON’T HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CODE TO MAKE MONEY FROM TECHNOLOGY! It seems, everyone in Nigeria and Africa wants to learn how to write code. NO! NO! NOOOO!!
Sir, I don’t know if many folks are aware that the car in this picture, is EXACTLY the same car as the Mercedes BENZ SLK.
Yes, it is a rebadged Mercedes SLK that was sold only in US. Once the secret came out, they stopped selling it. IF you have one of those, hold onto it.
The remedy to all the nonsense discrimination in the UK is blowout success. I still can't forget asking a Manchester Indian Cornershop guy about Davyhulme bus times. He told me he had not been on a bus in 20 years. He pointed to his Chrysler Crossfire sports car parked outside.
@OurFavOnlineDoc
Someone I met in Dubai, told me, there are IGBOS in AFGHANISTAN . My Iranian colleague says there are IGBOS in IRAN. I believe there are IGBOS in VIETNAM too.
PDP made similar mistakes in previous elections by ceding Digital media to APC and it did not end too well for them. Instead of focusing on attacking Peter Obi, why not try to market your candidates by telling the electorate how they are better and what they can deliver?
@asemota
The false narrative many have been sold is that “your votes don’t count”. YES, your votes will not count if there are few voters. It is very easy to manipulate few votes, very hard to manipulate large numbers of votes.
I am trying to understand the strategy here. Is it that they are not campaigning, or that I have not seen it? I have even asked folks on the ground are it seems to be same. So who are they campaigning to and how are they doing it?Have they ceded digital media to Labor Party?
@oku_yungx
@Teathobi
This is very common over here. I have done few Threads on this long ago. During my University days here in US, I was a Mechanic (I am still one). We specialized in swapping Car engines. We would mount fast engines in deceptively “slow” Cars.

There are countless things that could make anyone rich in Africa and Nigeria, but the underlying vehicle does not exist. That vehicle is TRUST. Fact is, Americans DON’T trust anyone that much, BUT, they have an implied Trust, enforced by a working JUDICIARY.
From me to all of you. HAPPY 2022!
To all of YOU, who sent DM, Emails, Phone calls. THANK YOU! 2021 should now be in your REARVIEW mirrors. Let’s make 2022 OUR best year !
Folks; let us continue our STOCKS 101 Thread. Stock Market is a funny place with it’s own Lingo. As the song says, “If you gonna play in Texas, you got to have a fiddle in the band”. To be a successful investor\trader\speculator, you will have to understand the Lingo.
What you are witnessing is what some of us have long be talking about; the DESTRUCTION of venerable institutions by RECKLESS politicians, cheered on by tribal and ethnic jingos. We now have a society where the highest courts in the land are dismissed without regards.
More than a week after the supreme court's ruling, we still can't spend the old notes.
Shop owners, keke & okada riders, restaurants & bars, etc not collecting them, but that's the only thing the banks are giving across the counter.

@AbdulMahmud01
Yes, I did. In 1813, Perry sent those words in a telegram after a battle. The inconvenient truth we refuse to admit is that, most of our issues are self created. We cheer for, and clap for bad governance AS LONG as the individual is one of ours.

I hate to say it, BUT, it is the same story on this side of the Atlantic. Health facilities are swamped globally. I have said it many times, Nigerian Health workers are World Class. Sadly, “a good Man\Woman is rarely honored in their own Yonder”.
Welcome to all my new followers. My handle talks about MONEY and investing. I talk about STOCKS, Stock markets and Wealth. I talk about how to build and grow wealth. My objective is to teach folks how to make and manage their own money.
One thing that is globally true is that, people who spend too much of their life blaming others for their personal failures, rarely progress in life. The reason for their lack of progress is quite glaring. In all cases, it is always self induced failures and blame shifting.
@ezinwa_uche
@asemota
Here is my short answer. Making and losing a lot of money sets one up to be a better Risk taker. It allows one, if they are analytical, to quickly realize that, even those things we think we know, we really don’t know. It pushes one to take even bigger risks.
I have a first hand experience on this; the entire thing is scam that benefits only industrialized nations. If
@rosenthal_jon
thinks it is a bad idea, fair enough. Go elsewhere and buy. IF, US, CHINA, BRITAIN etc can set the prices of their own products, allow Ghana to do same.
The point here is quite simple, IF YOU know anyone involved in this NONSENSE, consider talking to them. They are NOT fighting for you. They are impoverishing IGBOS. 90% of their victims are IGBOS! They are DESTROYING the ONLY thing we have in IGBOLAND, commerce! HAPPY SUNDAY!
Folks, I am looking for WRITERS and CONTRIBUTORS. If you can write on any topic, Entertainment, Life Style, Beauty, Food, Culture, Politics, Fashion, Romance, Short Stories, Drama, just about ANYTHING, I want to hear from you . Thank you
I don’t know about other places, but AMERICA is a very humbling place. Depending on where you land, REALITY quickly sets in after a few weeks, if you are the focused type. The euphoria of your arrival quickly wears out.
@DrJoeAbah
It was a big problem overhere too. Then they passed a law that made it a crime to buy them. Overhere, they were stealing both manhole covers and AC units. With no buyers, the thieving stopped. They can do same in Nigeria. Make it a crime to be caught with one.
Nigeria’s “Refusal” to hand over “Data”, US Secutity and BH Terrorism: A Short Thread: There is an interesting narrative that is taking hold in the wake of the recent ban. According this narrative, “Nigeria refused to turn over Terrorism Data or refused to Cooperate ...”!
