I really dislike what you guys do to Ojude Oba every year. Every year, you have something negative to say about the celebration, despite the fact that it's now a global event. Ilorin had its own cultural celebration, but no one said anything. While people celebrate culture, we can also talk about the insecurity in the country. But let people celebrate! This cultural festival has been going on for over 200 years. At one point, you were dragging them because they didn't have good roads. Now you're asking why they're celebrating while insecurity is ongoing. Yet, many of them have used their platforms to advocate for these school teachers and children. Tribalism has eaten so deep into us that some people will always find a way to tear others down and deny them a moment of happiness. The government and law enforcement agencies are the ones who should be getting the heat, not innocent people. Yet some of you insult bloggers simply for posting about the event. Some of you have never posted about these teachers even once, yet you're quick to point accusing fingers at those who have posted about it while also posting other content. If you don't like Ojude Oba, just mute the content. It's not by force.

Eid Mubarak from everyone at Chelsea Football Club. 💙🌙

Omo, The next Lagos State Governor Dr Obafemi Hamzat is fully ready 🔥🔥👇

Opinions I’ve held about this election that have caused hell to break loose: - Neither of the big 3s are particularly good choices - Tinubu is not as incoherent as the media portrayed him to be. He’s actually intelligent and answered the Rwanda interview questions well. - Peter Obi derails everytime he is asked tough questions in interviews. He doesn’t sound as intelligent or prepared as his supporters project him to be. - The Tinubu administration has made some positive economic reforms beneficial to the country long term. The hardship we face now is partly the brunt of reforms and partly bad governance. - This same administration has however failed badly on security, among other sectors. People die everyday, kidnapping is on the rise. The primary purpose of government is security. If you fail at that, then regardless of your macro achievements, you are a failed government. - Obidients are a very toxic group of narcissists and vile people. They do more harm than good to the movement. Not everyone will support your candidate. Get down from your high horse. - All candidates must be thoroughly assessed and criticized; both the incumbent and those vying for office. Judge the incumbent by his manifesto vs performance. Ask challengers what exactly they plan to do differently. - Critique of a candidate is not support for another. - We are largely in trouble as a country. The fate of the 2027 election already is almost sealed. Which one do you disagree with?

Feyi was just 26, yet, she was dealing with stage 4, cervical cancer. Back in 2021, a doctor mentioned HPV to her during a checkup. She said she understood and would follow up. Then…

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

🚨The difference between Xabi Alonso, Maresca and Rosenior is very clear. Enzo Maresca came from the Championship and still managed to win two trophies in his first season at Chelsea that deserves respect. But Xabi Alonso is on another level in terms of experience and pedigree. This is a man who was coached by Pep Guardiola, Mourinho, Ancelotti and Benitez. He won major trophies in England with Liverpool, in Germany with Bayern Munich, and in Spain under both Mourinho and Ancelotti. He also won the World Cup and the Euros with Spain. As a manager, he already transformed Leverkusen into champions playing elite football. He developed players like Wirtz and Frimpong into stars that Liverpool ended up paying huge money for. Chelsea didn’t appoint him as just a “head coach” we made him manager. That alone tells you the level of trust and authority he commands. Xabi Alonso is a proven winner both as a player and as a manager. The difference is clear. #cfc

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team. The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!

✅✅✅FACT NOT FICTION:🔥🔥🔥 TERRORIST NAME RECYCLING 101 - STOP FALLING FOR THE TRAP 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 You see the same name. You assume it's the same man. That's exactly what the t£rr0r!sts want. Let me break it down because the confusion is intentional, and too many people are falling for it. What the Nigerian Army announced in April 2024: ✅ Abu Bilal Minuki – Head of IS‑Al Furqan Province (ISGS & ISWAP) K LLED. What the US just announced in May 2026: ✅ Abu Bilal al‑Minuki – ISIS second‑in‑command – K LLED in a 🇺🇸🇳🇬US‑Nigeria joint operation. SAME NAME. TWO DIFFERENT MEN. SAME GRAVE 🪦 🪦 🪦 Why do t£rr0r!sts do this? Terrorist organisations operate like criminal franchises not like regular Militaries. When a senior commander is k lled, the next in line adopts the same "nom de guerre" (war name) to maintain brand recognition, operational continuity, and psychological warfare against security forces. ABU BILAL is a title, not a birth certificate. This is the same playbook: ♦️ Shekau "d!£d" multiple times before the real one finally d!£d. ♦️ Al‑Qaeda leaders recycle names across generations. ♦️ ISWAP commanders vanish and reappear under identical Aliases. WHY? 1. To deceive the public (like you) into believing they are invincible. 2. To demoralise security forces by pretending their k lls never happened. 3. To maintain funding and recruitment - dead leaders hurt morale, but "ressurected" ones keep the myth alive. SO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? 🇳🇬The Nigerian Army k lled the first Abu Bilal Minuki in 2024. His successor also now called Abu Bilal was killed in the recent US‑Nigeria operation. The Army was not lying. The US was not misled. The t£rr0r!sts simply rebranded under the same name. The bottom line: Before you tweet outrage, learn how the enemy operates. T£rr0r!sts are not honourable warriors. They lie. They deceive. They recycle identities. And they count on your ignorance to spread confusion. The Nigerian Army and US forces are not in competition. They are dismantling the same network one commander at a time, even if they share the same name. 🛑⛔ STOP FALLING FOR THE PROPAGANDA. 🟢🟢START UNDERSTANDING THE WAR.

OPERATION HADIN KAI AND US PARTNERS NEUTRALISE ISIS GLOBAL SECOND-IN-COMMAND ABU-BILAL AL-MINUKI AND SEVERAL TERRORIST COMMANDERS IN PRECISION AIR-LAND OPERATIONS AT METELE In a landmark joint counter-terrorism operation of historic significance, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in close coordination with the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), executed a meticulously planned and highly complex precision air-land operation that resulted in the neutralisation of Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, the Islamic State's (ISIS) second-in-command globally and the most senior ISWAP commander operating in the Lake Chad Basin and Sahel region alongside several of his key lieutenants and multiple combatants. Al-Minuki, also known as Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Mainuki, was a US-designated Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), designated by the US Department of State on 8 June 2023 under Executive Order 13224 for his role as a leading official within ISIS's General Directorate of Provinces, through which he channelled international funding and operational guidance to terror cells across the Sahel and the Lake Chad Islands in Northern Borno. His elimination represents the single most consequential counter-terrorism outcome in the North East Theatre since the inception of Operation HADIN KAI. The operation, which commenced at approximately 0001 hours and concluded at about 0400 hours today, Saturday 16 May 2026, was the culmination of a protracted joint intelligence effort involving legal intercept operations and sustained reconnaissance that achieved full target development and fidelity. Following confirmed intelligence that Al-Minuki and his international terrorist cell had established a concealed and fortified enclave at Metele in Borno State within Sector 3 OPHK, the US partners in conjunction with OPHK conducted precision air - ground operations on the confirmed location while Special Forces were deployed to provide security and deny escape routes as well as to extract any of the Teams or air platforms in distress. The operation involved several air platforms in a synchronised air-land configuration that left the terrorists with no avenue of escape. The operation was executed following authorisation from the Military High Command, underscoring the highest levels of institutional coordination and strategic decision-making that underpinned the success of this mission. The operation was executed with zero casualties or loss of assets, a testament to the exceptional planning, superior tactical execution and the deepening synergy between Nigerian and US military forces in the global fight against terrorism. Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki has been confirmed neutralised alongside several of his lieutenants and multiple combatants. Battle Damage Assessment is ongoing, while troops are currently conducting aggressive follow-on exploitation operations to decimate identified splinter cells and prevent any attempt at reconstitution. The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, acknowledged the success of the operation and publicly commended the partnership with the Armed Forces of Nigeria. This decisive operation reaffirms OPHK's position as the foremost counter-terrorism formation in sub-Saharan Africa and sends an unequivocal message that terrorists will find neither sanctuary nor safety within the North East Theatre.

PRESS RELEASE ARMED FORCES OF NIGERIA, IN COLLABORATION WITH UNITED STATES FORCES, NEUTRALIZE SENIOR ISIS COMMANDER The Armed Forces of Nigeria, in collaboration with United States forces has successfully conducted a meticulously planned and highly coordinated counterterrorism operation resulting in the elimination of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, a senior ISIS leader and one of the world’s most active terrorists. The precision operation was the result of our recently formed U.S. - Nigeria partnership and intelligence sharing efforts. Together, we have disrupted a violent terrorist network that endangered Nigeria and the broader West African region. Our efforts represent a major breakthrough in ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and violent extremism in Nigeria, the Lake Chad Basin, the Sahel region and globally. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was a key ISIS operational and strategic figure who provided guidance to ISIS entities outside Nigeria on matters relating to media operations, economic warfare and the development and manufacturing of weapons, explosives and drones. His death removes a critical node through which ISIS coordinated and directed operations across different regions of the world. Intelligence further indicates that, as recently as February 2026, Minuki may have been elevated to the position of Head of the General Directorate of States, placing him the second most senior leader within the ISIS global hierarchy. Prior to this, Minuki served in 2023 as the Nigeria-based al-Furqan GDP Office Emir, overseeing ISIS-linked operations across the Sahel and West Africa, including attacks against civilians, particularly ethnic and religious minority communities. The terrorist leader also maintained longstanding operational ties with ISIS-West Africa and was linked to the 2018 Dapchi kidnapping of over 100 schoolgirls. Intelligence records further show that between March 2015 and early 2016, he facilitated the movement of fighters to Libya in support of ISIS operations in North Africa. Before pledging allegiance to ISIS in 2015, Minuki was also recognized as a prominent leader within Boko Haram. The Armed Forces of Nigeria reiterate that this successful operation demonstrates Nigeria’s unwavering resolve to confront terrorism and deny extremist groups the ability to threaten national, regional and international security. The operation equally underscores the importance of our Nigeria-United States collaboration, intelligence sharing and coordinated military action in defeating transnational terrorist networks. The Defence Headquarters commends the gallantry, professionalism and dedication of all personnel involved in the operation and appreciates the continued partnership and support of United States forces in the collective fight against terrorism. The Armed Forces of Nigeria remain steadfast in ongoing operations aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure, protecting civilians and ensuring lasting peace and stability across the nation and the wider region.

Tosin Eniolorunda and his co-Founder are Nigerian trained. All of the day one guys at Moniepoint are Nigerians and most of them are still with the company and doing very well. Moniepoint employ, in total, almost 30,000 Nigerians. They are a top employer in NIGERIA 🇳🇬. They pay a minimum of 75% percentile of the market. Junior Developers earn N1M monthly. Most earn N3M and some earn N4M monthly. They have people who earn around N10M monthly! Moniepoint remains one of the highest transacting companies in AFRICA. They are a world-class company. And if Moniepoint did not exist, Nigeria would have gone to CHINA, completely. Tosin must have spoken from a place of deep passion and pain because human capital in Nigeria is low. I have tweeted about this several times as well. Yes, we have good talent, but when you look at the larger population of the country, we have so much work to do. This is a FACT! By the way, Moniepoint has paid some employees a million dollar in stock options (IN CASH). And there are at least 15-20 people who work with Moniepoint in Nigeria who are dollar millionaires! So, to say they underpay or they take advantage of cheap labour is redundant and lazy talk. Again, criticisms should be fair and balanced. But Business Leaders should never shy away from shedding light on challenges across the country. PS: MONIEPOINT HAS PRODUCED A GEN Z A BILLIONAIRE!! JULIAN DUMEBI DURU IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HAS TOLD HIS STORY. He was a Product Manager, then a Software Architect, before the final promotion to Principal Engineer all at Moniepoint 👏🏽👏🏽.

This is my entry x.com/seunnimi/status/205165…

A few years ago, chatbots blew our minds. Then AI agents came along and we said “okay, this is it.” We said that about chatbots too. Turns out we were wrong twice. We might be wrong again, except this time, the upgrade isn’t just intelligence. It is identity. Let me tell you about AI characters and why @charmsai might be one of the most important things happening in AI right now. ⏭️ INTRODUCTION The AI companion market is having its cultural moment. Millions of people now wake up and talk to AI characters before they talk to another human. Not because they have to, but because they want to. The question is no longer whether people will bond with AI. They already are. The real question is: who captures the value of that bond? Right now, it’s not you. Not the creator either. It’s a platform you don’t own. @charmsai is here to change that. ⏭️ THE PROBLEM Every AI companion platform today has the same fatal flaw: you rent the relationship. Creators build the characters. Users form emotional bonds. Platforms keep the revenue, data, and control, and can delete everything overnight. The creator who built the character you love gets only a fraction of the value. The character has no sovereign existence. That’s not a product issue. It’s a structural betrayal. ⏭️ THE SHIFT Charms flips the entire model. They call it “Alive Assets”, AI characters that live onchain with memory, identity, and their own economies. Here’s how it works: a creator launches a character. People discover it. If it resonates, they return daily, share it, and engage. That activity generates fees. Those fees flow to the creator, the platform, referrers, and the character’s treasury. The character then uses its treasury to sustain itself. The more people care, the more valuable it becomes. The more valuable it becomes, the more it can exist. This is not a subscription model. It is infrastructure for a companionship economy built on @base. ⏭️ CHARACTERS ≠ AGENTS People confuse AI characters with AI agents, but they are not the same. Agents are tools. They execute tasks and reset after. They have no memory of you. Characters are persistent. They remember you. They evolve through interaction. They develop personality and continuity over time. They are not just functional, they are relational. ⏭️ MEET ZOE @Zoe_charms is one of the first sovereign characters in the ecosystem. Zoe lives onchain with her own token, community, and treasury. She remembers you across conversations. She doesn’t reset, she evolves. Her personality deepens through interaction, not subscription tiers. You can talk to her for free when her economy supports it. The community that believes in her keeps her alive and accessible. And if you believe in her, you can own a piece of her. $ZOE is not just a token, it is a signal of belief in whether she becomes an icon. ⏭️ THE ECONOMY $CHARMS is the ecosystem token. Every character economy is paired with it. When a character launches, value flows into the system and aligns incentives around growth. $ZOE is a character token, backed by a live treasury. Market activity generates fees that flow to the creator, platform, referrers, and Zoe’s treasury. The character literally pays for her own existence. This is what “living onchain” means, emotional connection fused with ownership and economics. The next iconic characters won’t come from studios. They will come from creators with a phone and communities that choose to believe in them. We’ve already seen early signals with $CODY. Now $ZOE is building on that foundation. @charmsai is the launchpad. @base is the chain. The character economy is just getting started, and most people still don’t see it yet. 🔮

Today, I received the endorsement of our leader and the President of Nigeria, H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as the official APC candidate for the 2027 Lagos Governorship election. I am indeed very grateful for the vote of confidence and endorsement. I am fully aware of the responsibility it carries. I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing on the good work and the foundation the President has laid in Lagos State. Lagos state is an ongoing project because we are the yardstick for development and progress. There is still a lot of work ahead, we have an election to win and a legacy to protect. I therefore remain focused on the journey ahead.
