(1) More on the assertion of the “Objectivity-Cum-Sincerity” motto of Harry Agina and Mr. No Bullshitting. With our consistent condemnation of Nigeria President Bola Tinubu’s failures, it BEHOOVES us to praise him whenever he does something good. This time, we’re proud of his swift response to the corruption allegation against the CEO of NMDPRA of Nigeria, Farouk Ahmed. Oh, by the way, I always lambaste Nigerian news reporters and others who dish out acronyms without telling us what the acronyms mean. They unprofessionally assume that all members of their audiences know what all acronyms mean. Unlike them, I mist inform you that NMDPRA stands for “Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.”
Anyway, the news says that Farouk resigned after a meeting with Tinubu on December 17, 2025. But that’s one of those “soft landing” diplomacy that happens in politics, especially in Nigeria, which is often nonsensical to me. The man Farouk resigned nothing; President Tinubu fired him from office following Aliko Dangote’s allegation that Farouk is corrupt, period! And I hail Tinubu for that swift action. I wish he could be that courageous and swift in arresting sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria, meeeeeeeen!!!
(2) We also hail Alhaji Aliko Dangote for being the “whistleblower” against Farouk and his alleged corruption. If I said it once, I said it a gazillion times that I love to see rulers, politicians, and major stakeholders in Nigeria’s polity to strongly disagree on issues. I pray that they always bitterly quarrel, and maliciously fight among themselves. That’s only when we see corruption fighting corruption to give us some reasonable anti-corruption war results in Nigeria, meeeeeeeen!!!
You can be sure that Aliko Dangote had always known the data about Farouk Ahmed’s alleged corruption before now. He said nothing, until Farouk threw the first punch in their disagreement over the goings-on in Nigeria’s petroleum industry. Farouk accused Dangote of some foul play in his oil refining business. Foolishly, he seemed to forget the maxim that “Whoever lives in a glass house should not throw stones.”
Some Nigerian critics disagree with Dangote’s whistleblowing move against Farouk. They call it unnecessary and petty. You know what? Such “See evil but say nothing” mindset of some Nigerians disgusts the hell outta me. Why the heck should anyone in their right senses condemn anyone for exposing corrupt practices? The “See evil and say nothing” syndrome is part of why corruption never ever subsides in Nigeria, meeeeeeeen!!!

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.
