FYI: This parade was paid for from an "NGO" in the US. These Churches received donations and grants to print posters and organise a parade. The pastors were also promised Visas. Just so we are clear.
A parade for me in Nigeria, a great honor!

- Tonight, my flight into Toronto couldn’t land because of the bad weather. The pilot kept trying to land at Pearson Airport several times but kept failing as the plane was in turbulence because of the storm. Passengers were panicking, some crying, others telling their kids
- I want to lead the #EndSARS protest here in Canada (Toronto), who cares to join me? Let our voices be heard everywhere.
- On a 6-hour flight from Brussels to Montreal, my seat neighbour is excitedly telling me how her husband has been cheating on her for 4 years and she acted like she didn’t know. Now she’s relocating to Canada to start a new life but her husband thinks she’s going to buy goods.
- Replying to @effoduAs my dad used to say; shared suffering is always less suffering and shared joy is always a double joy. I am just happy to be back on land and alive.
- I am sorry but parents that report their kids to pastors are irresponsible.
- Someone is suing their alma mater for not sending their transcript on time to their grad school, causing them to lose their admission. I hope the Nigerian judiciary uses this case to teach universities not to play with peoples future by snubbing or delaying transcript requests.
- My friend just found out that his 7-year old isn’t his biological son. He has been threatening to leave the marriage and his parents have been begging him to stay. They told him that “this may be God’s plan” as he is also not their biological child. 2 revelations in 1 week.

- I would NEVET forget when the sex workers union in Abuja contributed 1K each to buy me a birthday cake on Dec 12, 2012 because I successfully released several of them that year from illegal police detention. I cried.
- Today, Senegal has made history by electing the youngest President in the history of the country. And coincidentally, he just turned 44 today.
- Another lawyer has been allegedly murdered in SARS custody. Stella Ifeoma Abugu who just completed her NYSC has been allegedly killed by the operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad on 11th Sept, 2020. This is now a trend but everything is taken as normal-normal.
