Mind blowing.
This 500-year-old portrait may seem ordinary, but it's one of the most mysterious in history. There's so much detail that you can read every musical note on this small page. But look closer — an unsettling secret is hiding in plain sight. 🧵

You make an argument for the evolution of Fuji. But somehow other genres are not supposed to evolve? If the styles of Pasuma etc led to the evolution of Fuji, why should that of Àṣàkẹ́ not be considered as part of the evolution of Afrobeats rather than stating that it’s Fuji?.
Obesere,Pasuma, Osupa, and their ilks didn't sound like Fuji when they burst on the scene in the early 90s. Fuji was Barrister, Kollington, KWAM1. My point is that the Fuji sound has evolved as it did with Paso. Àṣàkẹ́ is authentically Fuji. Fuji weaves Proverbs, slangs, and.

Ideally only civilians with no military background should be Minister of Defence. It entrenches the subordination of military to civilian authority. That’s what plays out in many democracies. Eg US Presidents need special Congress approval to appoint a rtd soldier as Defense Sec.
Still trying to crack my head. @officialABAT's list of nominated persons for Minister and wondering who amongst them has the experience to hold the post of Defence Minister? .Serving in the millitary isn't a requirement but highly desirable considering the multiple challenges.

The absolute illiteracy masquerading as reasoned opinion about ECOWAS and Niger is staggering. This is not the first coup that ECOWAS will strongly oppose. It’s a cardinal position of ECOWAS and AU for a long time to oppose coups in member states. Why should Niger be different?.

The era of “non interference” (a post colonial construct to safe guard colonial heritage) died couple of decades ago. Overtaken by “non indifference”. The latter applies when actions in a state may affect peace and development in others. Eg genocide, coups etc. Check AU charter.
On the one hand, there's the risk of interfering in a sovereign country's internal politics. On the other hand, there are the implications of attempting to reverse a coup that has already been approved by a country's military forces, especially with the Wagner Group having been.

You don’t want successful coup plotters so close to home. They encourage copycats at home. The coups of the 1960s spread across the continent largely on the back of initial successes in a small number of states.
But why would Nigeria lead or partake in the invasion of a sovereign country? Niger Republic is only a threat to us if they cross into our borders. Otherwise, any other solutions have to be through diplomatic channels—through dialogues. We are surrounded by Francophone countries.

Think Giannis chose to come in quietly. Unannounced. Just like Saka a month ago. Maybe security-based decision.
Giannis came to town & it wasn't blown to smithereens??!. Watta gwan, NBBF?. Perfect opportunity goes a-begging. .

First time in Nigeria, I suppose. Great stuff. A shinning superstar with a sense of heritage.

More like the tyranny of opportunities. And it’s not peculiar to Nigeria. A parent’s status plays a significant role in the opportunities that the kids get.
To be honest, many of these children of the rich and politically-advantaged are obtaining these roles based on merit. They attended the best schools and have worked at competitive organizations, excelling in environments where only their skills count. That’s the tyranny of merit.

assess, not access. Respectfully.
I visited the site of the long-abandoned Enyimba Hotel Aba, a legacy project from the era of the remarkable De Sam Mbakwe. Despite years of neglect, the property's architectural allure and potential are still evident. My aim was to access the facility's present condition and

Means nothing. Trump attempted a coup in the US and there were people jubilating. You’d find pockets of celebrations in most take over of govt anywhere in the world cos hardly any govt is universally loved by its people. Using such celebrations as proof of legitimacy is obtuse.
ECOWAS leaders were condemning the COUP in Niger Republic while the citizens were jubilating with the Soldiers. There is a viral video of citizens stoning a politician. When the military took over in Guinea 🇬🇳, Mali 🇲🇱, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 and now Niger 🇳🇪 their citizens all.

Will there ever be a time when the quality of life and all development indices will be roughly the same around the world? If so, how many decades or centuries are we away from this happening?.

Good stuff by the PSC. Hopefully other Police Officers don’t think it’s a good idea to replicate that Seun Kuti’s incident as quick pathways to promotion and then be disappointed when promotion doesn’t happen. Laws of unintended consequence.
POLICE SERVICE COMMISSION (PSC) STATEMENT: "Inspector Habila Bulus was promoted to ASP 11 for his gallantry & commitment to duty. Also, Inspector Mohammed Aminu who trended on Social Media where he was seen being assaulted in uniform by one Seun Kuti was also promoted to ASP 1.".

🇳🇬Twitter has become a propaganda playground. All sides pilling in. Robust conversations impossible. Facts hard to come by.
