    My Uber driver yesterday is a lawyer. After payment, I went to search his name on NBA portal. Lo and behold, he’s a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. It is not well.

    Banning @twitter violates S. 22 & 39 of the 1999 Constitution. Twitter seems to be the only medium through which we hold the reckless regime of Buhari responsible. We will resist the attempts to ban Twitter in Nigeria.

    To become President in Nigeria, you do not need a BSC, HND or NYSC Certificate. To become a Governor, you do not need a BSC, HND or NYSC Certificate. But to be employed by any public or private establishment, you need NYSC certificate. We are running a criminal system.

    Someone should caution Ogun State @PoliceNG to stop issuing me empty threat. I have made it clear that no force can stop this Monday Protest. #EndSARS is the simple message and we are not going back. If anything happens to me, you know who to hold responsible. We move, undeterred

    Electricity, we power our generators. Water, we dig our boreholes. School, we sponsor ourselves. Hospital, we pay the bills. Security, we hire maiguards. Road, we contribute to patch... What exactly does Nigeria govt do for its citizens other than to impoverish & kill?

    You cannot leave school 5, 10 years ago and still be deeply involved in SUG politics.

    ASUU STRIKE PROTEST WILL HOLD IN LAGOS! For 8 months, university students have been languishing at home because of an avoidable strike. FG cannot continue to endanger our future and expect us to be quiet. We've started organizing and mobilizing. We are relocating to the street.

    Damilare Adenola is asthmatic. He is currently being violently tortured at Adeniji Police station for being a voice of courage. He has been denied access to his inhalers and lawyers. Nothing must happen to @dadenola. #EndSARS

    I have now sued Sanwo-Olu for blocking me on Twitter. I asked the court to compel him to unblock and apologize to me. Truly, I have gone through mental stress and trauma over this matter but I will not ask for damages so I won’t be seen as a golddiger. Just unblock me.

    I was at Okokomaiko for the very first time today. Please, never you call Lagos a Mega City. Never.
