"I've been following his tweets for some time and he is...🥸" My brother in the Lord, all you know is a curated internet avatar, not a real person. You know nothing about me or anyone here. All you are is a chronically online internet opinion-haver. Heat up some eba🤷🏿

Just want to point out that videos like this, which have suddenly started flying around TikTok and Instagram, are not comedy content. These are political campaign videos placing "APC 2027" and imagery of Tinubu as a hyper-successful Yahoo Boy into your subconscious, thus instilling helplessness by reinforcing the idea that he's this incredible "Pablo" and there's nothing you can do about it. It's similar to how the Israeli military deliberately allows people in Gaza to upload visuals of the genocide against them (even though it controls Internet access to Gaza and it can easily impose a total communication blackout). The goal is to get the world so used to seeing dead and mutilated Palestinians that outrage fatigue sets in, and people subconsciously stop seeing the genocide as the human tragedy that it is. This stuff is not 'comedy', though it resembles and mimics it. It's psychological warfare.

The same people pretending to cry about your "dead Christians" are the ones who go on their national TV that they don't expect you to watch, and openly boast about organising and adding these same "Islamic terrorists" in the country that shares 1,000km of border with your own. And you cannot see the great game being played atop your head here? You honestly can't see it? After 500 years of being the planet's greatest mumu, you still haven't figured it out?????

This company also appears to only do business in Africa and in fact much of its management team is African. So in summary, we have a website with a hidden owner contracting an IT middleman who specialises in "raising sustainable revenue" through high-traffic regulatory activities (such as visa applications) to operate the website on their behalf. This website is not affiliated with the UAE government and the middleman operating it appears to only be active in African jurisdictions. My educated guess is that there is a private company behind all of this - possibly linked to someone in Aso Rock or the Foreign Ministry - which has quietly positioned itself to rip Nigerians off. In fact, I'd go as far as to guess that the reason why the visa ban dragged on for so long - and why there were multiple false dawns - is that this private entity was haggling over details like revenue split. I now await the frenzied, angry denials followed by the tacit admission that I've not even scratched the surface. If you're familiar with Nigeria, none of this will come as a surprise.

In both Kenya and Nigeria, you people still haven't realised that these celebrity activist types who receive generous funding and support from the U.S. government via its many NGO fronts, are at best like 👇🏾this guy - pretending to do valuable work while actually taking a free ride on your credulity. And that's the best case scenario, because their real job is much more malevolent. Boniface Mwangi and Yele Sowore are literally the same person. The only difference is that one of them has a Kenyan accent and the other has a Nigerian accent. They even share the same American funder (Ford Foundation), and they have both made multiple Hollywood attempts at running for public office that they knew they had no chance at winning. One of them even made a movie out of it. Most importantly, they both exist to play an important role for the external interests that maintain a chokehold over both countries - their job is to place their faces and their narrative in front of any resistance or revolutionary movement that brews organically, so as to take control of it on behalf of their funding interests and misdirect it somewhere harmless where it fizzles out. Sowore attempted to do it with #EndSARS and successfully did it with #EndBadGovernance, and Boniface did the exact same thing with #RejectFinanceBill2024 and #RutoMustGo. "Organised civil society" in Africa is part of the empire's colonial infrastructure. You would think with all the noise made about USAID, the bigger point would have been made by now. These people are not helping you or doing you a favour, as if they invented the concept of resistance and revolution, or it wouldn't happen without them. They are the gatekeepers who ACTIVELY prevent real revolution from happening. That's what they receive hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of US intelligence/NGO slush funds for wvery year. These men that you think are "heroes" are actually some of your biggest opps and I don't know how you have not realised this yet. I can't understand how you can't see it.

So you have an American Central Intelligence Agency affiliate directly funnelling cash into funding web content specifically targeted at Nigerian Gen Z's - aggressively promoting Western immigration to them. Think about the implications of this. In terms of social cohestion. In terms of national sovereignty and security. In terms of economic and social ideology. A foreign government from another continent is funding a 1,000-part web content series in your country designed to make young people in your country obsessed with the idea of leaving their home and moving to the country funding the content, or one of its European allies.

That's because my personal Substack ( is a completely separate entity to West Africa Weekly. WAW started off on Substack, but the moment you guys invested in 2023, you made it very clear that WAW would be a standalone website ( and the Substack platform would revert to me, which is why I changed the name from ' to ' Yes, I have 160 paid subscribers there, which is the sole result of the sweat of my own brow, without your help or involvement. I built that subscriber base while writing dangerous stories inside a safe house in Central Accra with armed police patrolling outside. Were you bunch of barawos under the impression that you were entitled to what I built without you that was not covered by the purchase agreement? What did you think you were paying for? A slave? I left WAW since last year and I didn't make a song and dance about it, but since you people want to behave like a scorned ex on the internet, let me remind you that I still own half of this company, and in fact I still control many of its digital assets. Its Instagram page is literally under my personal Meta accounts centre. Ditto its LinkedIn page. I took these screen recordings less than 10 minutes ago showing that as of right now, I still have full access to the WordPress backend, Zoho email suite and Zoho Cliq workplace. If you "disengaged" me for "financial irresponsibility", kindly explain why I still have full access to all of your backends? Because you know what actually happened - I left WAW to found The Spearhead in August 2025, and you are angry because everything useful about the platform left with me, including its 2 best reporters, and in just 6 months of operation, we have created much better material and outperformed post-2023 WAW by every metric available. You know that I was right about everything. I was right about pivoting away from Nigerian news and Obidient-slop to focus on more important African geopolitical content. I was right about investing real money in creating visual content. I was right about looking beyond Nigeria for an audience. I was right about hiring a full time Sahel reporter. I was right about the fact that you needed to let go of the dream of WAW becoming a mainstream media outlet making money the conventional Nigerian media way, because the gatekeepers would never let you in simply based on the platform's association with me. I was right about boosting reporters' pay instead of expecting miracles from somebody's child whom you're paying N110,000/month to be a field reporter in Lagos. And now, instead of accepting that I was right about everything and that you know nothing about journalism or media business, your petulant response to your own horrible failure is to try to throw mud on my name and to destroy the platform in the process - a platform that you did create and whose value you cannot possibly understand because you're so poor that all you have is money. Well, you can't destroy a reputation that you didn't build. Many before you have tried. You won't be the last. The Mayowa and Kangmwa that you used to mock for being broke and unpolished have now traveled and seen the world perhaps more so than you have. They now create great material that the whole world now sees and engages with. You're still there paying people peanuts and looking for NNPC advert gigs that you will never get. Like many diasporans, once you have some small $5 in your pocket, you think everyone back home should kneel before you. After dealing with racism and insults to make your 2 kobo in Houston, you now come to reflect the same energy back to your people in Lagos because that makes you feel good about your life. Whatever floats your boat. But from the bottom of my heart, I don't care. I am better than you and there's nothing you can do about it. My offer remains open: if you can, buy me out and do what you want with WAW. I have moved on.
