Why has US gone to sleep?

My first thought is that the US have 2 Russian spies in the white house and getting information on the cheap.

I can bet my last tuppence on it that I'm not so off the mark.

What intelligence clearance level does Musk have to be mining so much information about American workers?

Now, he has all the emails of government workers and only God knows what else.

The trick with their MO(modus operandi)is to go against the normal norm of espionage being covert. Now they're doing it korokoro overtly and all the intelligence agencies are knocked for six.

Trump and Musk are definitely working against America and not for it. Mark my word.

Re - “ What is really wrong with the US?” and “Why has US gone to sleep?” - a reply to Femi Olajide’s prevarications


He wants to know :  What is really wrong with the US?” and “Why has US gone to sleep?” 


“2 Russian spies in the white house”? 


As JFK once said, “ And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”


It’s not ironic that it’s a baffled Nigerian of the never expect light always pedigree -  the never expect light always syndrome, a Great Nigeria that has famously been known to have been blowing his own horn for the better part of the last half century after Independence , forever boasting about being “ The sleeping giant of Africa” that is asking these kinds of questions from back home or the Diaspora, quite literally from wherever his feet happen to be planted at the moment, 


Yesterday, my Irish-American buddy ( from California) who seems to think that I’m related to Sammy Davis, told me the joke one more time (he likes telling me this joke) that Sammy Davis Jnr and his friends (the Rat Pack) were out dining and having a good time at one of the restaurants where the sign at the window proclaimed “No Blacks Allowed”, when in walked some brethren from the Ku Klux Klan and said in unison, all three of them, “There’s a nigger in here !”,  at which point Davis Jnr jumps up, throws his hands in the air and asks,” Where?” 


The Donald Trump - Elon Musk phenomenon,

the most powerful dude on the planet teaming up

with the richest dude on God’s piece of earthly estate

and everybody's talking about it; in these days of banality,

days of wine and roses, even the butler, he's got something to prove


Question to Femi Olajide: Has the US gone to sleep? Deep sleep? Is the USA taking a nap?


The equivalent of the Trump-Musk scenario would be if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu created a DOGE ministry (to cut the wastage, leakages, redundancies, ghost names on salary vouchers etc)

teamed up with Aliko Dangote by appointing him director-general of that ministry. 


And what a fruitful partnership that would be for the country! Talking about “ transformative leadership”,  on a much larger scale President Tinubu would be doing a thousand fold for Nigeria, what he did for Lagos whilst he was governor of that state and 10,000fold what Dele Farotimi’s Peter Obi could not and did not achieve for Anambra. 


In five minutes from now at 22.30  it’s the premier of  the documentary No Other Land on SVT 2

Femi Olajide could have sold the idea to John le Carré; he could still sell the idea of  “2 Russian spies in the white house” to Stella Rimington 


Since, still like a good old Man Friday, when it comes to using choice expressions in the old colonial lingo, Femi Olajide the interlocutor can bet his “ last tuppence on it “ - not his last kobo, naira  or dollar, I’d say that much more reasonably, the headline question could have been, “Has the USA’s Trump ”lost his marbles” ? 


It’s preposterous that because President Trump is currently shaking up America, he should be accused of anything like that whilst he is on his patriotic mission to make America Great Again, by hook or by crook or by any means necessary , such as grabbing Canada and Greenland by the you know where - if need be, and by appointing Kash Patel director of the FBI  - thereby causing - so the rumour goes, Joe Biden,  Kamala Harris , and Barack Obama some worries, but  to be accused of un-American activities just because he’s determined to systematically dismantle the so called deep state …!


According to The Last Poets : “When the revolution comes, some of us will probably catch it on TV, with chicken hanging from our mouths.”


However, as to be expected, he has obviously lost his marbles about wanting to deport the Palestinians of Gaza, for that and many other domestic and international / financial etc reasons, there are so many distraught ones, currently jumping on Trump ;here’s one that would probably like to shake hands with Femi Olajide:

In declaring that Jesus was Black, Elon Musk too has made a lot of enemies :

Even his influence in Germany ought not to be underestimated, since the Party that he supported in the just concluded German elections, the AFD, doubled their mandate, swept that section of the German electorate that was formerly Eastern Germany, and the ADF is now the second biggest party in Germany. And thus, a few more people are not happy with Musk.
