Hi Friends,

As Nigeria counts down to 2027, my team and I have spent the last five months building something big.
It’s called Power and Plunder — a series that takes you through the entire history of Nigeria’s leadership.

From Tafawa Balewa in 1960 to the current administration, we’re doing deep dives on every single leader who has occupied that office. How they governed. What they built. What they destroyed. And how, for better or worse, each one shaped the course of this country.

First episode drops Wednesday, May 6th. Watch this space.

Hey guys, we have an issue with one of our recent uploads, Africa's Richest Mafia You've Never Heard Of. We have taken down the video to re-edit and repost at a later date. I'm sorry for this experience. We will try our best to avoid a repeat of incidents like this that led to the decision to take down the video.

This is all I can share with you at this time. Thank you.

Hi guys, just a quick one, are you able to access Patreon from Nigeria using your local ISPs like MTN, Airtel and Glo?

Kindly let me know.

Cheers

Hi friends,

I owe you an update.

My team and I have been deep in production on a few major videos and they’ve taken longer than expected. Small team. Big investigations. Lots of verification.

That’s not an excuse for disappearing, but just context to help you understand what’s been happening behind the scenes.

We’re working on improving our workflow so this doesn’t happen again. But we’d rather take a little longer than rush something out half-done.

Thank you for your patience. The next videos are coming. Both here and on Sahel Chronicles.

❤️
