KWANKWASO AT 70: IT IS TIME TO PLAY POLITICS OF COMMON SENSE.
Dear Senator @KwankwasoRM ,
Happy 70th Birthday to you, a man whose political journey, particularly in Kano, has demonstrated that leadership can make a tangible difference in the lives of ordinary people. Your record in education, your pro-poor policies and your investment in the welfare of the less privileged have earned you a place in the political history of our country. These are not insignificant achievements, and they are precisely why I believe you still have a historic role to play in Nigeria’s future.
At 70, you must rise above the distractions of the moment and begin to think seriously about the bigger picture. Nigeria is approaching another defining political season, and the pendulum of power will inevitably swing again. If the North is to prepare effectively for its next opportunity to lead this country, it must do so through strategic thinking, political maturity and the building of bridges across the country.
Kwankwaso, you are a Northerner who can make a credible case for being trusted with the welfare of the people. Your record in Kano, particularly in education and policies directed at the poor, gives you a foundation upon which to build a much bigger national legacy. But you must not allow present political calculations to diminish that legacy.
My candid advice to you is this: step into the grassroots political shoes of the late President @MBuhari , and recognise the strategic value of supporting President @officialABAT at this moment in our national journey.
Buhari understood the political weight of the ordinary Nigerian, particularly the people of the North. His connection with the grassroots was a formidable political asset. You have your own record, your own constituency and your own strengths. The question is whether you will deploy those assets to build a sustainable national political future or expend them on an alliance that may not serve your long-term interests.
And this brings me to your present political association with Peter Obi. With all due respect to him, I believe you bring considerably more political experience, deeper executive credentials and a more extensive record of practical governance to the table. Why, then, should a man of your political stature hitch his future to a political arrangement in which his own experience and accomplishments risk being overshadowed? You should be setting the direction, not surrendering your political judgment to another man’s ambition.
Supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not require you to abandon your convictions or surrender your independence. It requires you to recognise the national interest, appreciate the importance of political stability and position yourself to contribute meaningfully to the next phase of Nigeria’s development. There is room for political competition, but there is also a time when wisdom demands cooperation.
At 70, your concern should be the people you have served, the people you still hope to serve and the political foundations you will leave for the next generation. The North needs leaders who can think beyond immediate grievances, build national alliances and prepare for the future without sacrificing the interests of their people today.
Kwankwaso, Kwankwaso! Leader sir, Egbon, it is time to reconsider the road you are travelling. Do not let the politics of the moment rob you of the opportunity to play a far greater role in the Nigeria that is emerging.
It is time to play politics of common sense.
Happy 70th Birthday Sir, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. May wisdom guide your next steps, may your experience serve the nation, and may your remaining years in public life bring greater progress to Kano, the North and Nigeria as a whole.

Yaxel Lendeborg says he lost all respect for Luka Doncic from his whining:
“I had a lot of respect for him, you know, just watching. I didn’t really watch the NBA much, I just watch highlights seeing him kill people all the time. But then being in there first hand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect man. Like, that was awful. Like me getting frustrated, it’s not about the foul being called. It’s about him complaining the entire game. And then you get the foul called, congratulations bro. And then you talk to me like you did something great bro. Come on. That’s just weak you know. It kinda threw me off for a little while cause like I said, I had a lot of respect for him. Gone, man.”

He's just saying what everybody already knows about Luka, nothing league shattering

Steph Curry approves of Yaxel Lendeborg’s talking trash with Luka Doncic:
“I love confidence. I love that care and passion. From what I’ve seen from him, it’s just about playing basketball. It’s not about anything else other than the competitiveness. So, he’s setting the table for himself to show up, and I like that nature of the game. Whether you do it in between your ears or you let it out, I know he’ll be able to back it up.”

yup and you proceeded to shoot 1/6 over “somebody”
"Everybody knows when somebody starts talking, you get a different me. So that was it.”

Yaxel Lendeborg on what he and Luka Doncic were going back and forth about:
“I was telling him he sucks. He can’t score on me. You talking, you can’t score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that’s why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call, and his only bucket was a banker from half court. Like, I know that it’s a team sport. He had 28 on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked. Probably would have still got a foul call. But, you know, interesting.”
