Just yesterday, the Nigerian internet space was agog with David Hundeyin's expose on Tinubu's sordid past. His involvement in drug trafficking in Chicago, USA in the 90s.
Nigerians already had an idea that BAT was involved in drugs at some point but never knew to what extent. There have been rumors, insinuations and then a few articles on it but the details were always sketchy. David Hundeyin's article is so damning. It includes exact dates, names, pictures and court documents, everything in BAT's past he had tried so hard to keep hidden and suppressed. It has enough details and supporting evidence to indict the accused person 10 times over.
One may question and even doubt the veracity of this exposé as the internet is full of fake news and anyone can easily concoct "chilled zobo" to drive in engagements. For this, we have to look at who David Hundeyin is and his antecedents.
David Hundeyin is an independent investigative journalist who was quite an active voice during the EndSars protests of 2020. He went into exile with a few others like himself after the protests, when the Buhari government started a clampdown on those who they felt were instrumental to the protests. Since then, his main medium has been Twitter.
He single-handedly investigated the Ini Umoren murder case, doing the work of a whole team of police investigators and was able to pinpoint the murderer and his cohorts with almost a 90 percent accuracy given the information at his disposal. He was even able to indict a serving
Superintendent of Police who was also a serving DPO for complicity in the crime, yet nothing was ever done.
He investigated African tech unicorn, Flutterwave, for sexual misconduct, fraud, perjury, insider trading, money laundering and some other misconducts. A huge defense was put out but only recently, it was reported that the Kenyan government had frozen accounts in their country linked to Flutterwave for alleged money laundering.
For years, Nigerians had heard that Boko Haram had sponsors among the affluent of the Nigerian Muslim society and also within President Buhari's government. This was even backed up by foreign security reports from America and even Dubai, yet our government didn't do as much as bat an eyelid and then here comes, David Hundeyin with his "Cornflakes for Jihad: The Boko Haram Origin Story" article. This particular article had irrefutable evidence against our Minister of Communication, Isa Pantami as a sponsor and Boko Haram sympathiser, who the American government had on its terrorist list but our government with its attitude of impunity went on like nothing had happened.
Mr. Hundeyin's sources and stories have been proven to be credible time and again. His work is impeccable and he is touted as being so good, he can dig up dirt on anyone and even give one a history of themselves or their parents, which they have no idea about. He has taken on individuals, large corporations and even the government and has been proved right everytime.
Mr. Hundeyin, as a result of his work and his satirical responses to would be attackers has been given many names on Twitter, like "The chief cook of vawulence", "The coach of vawulence FC", and "The principal of vawulence secondary school" among many others. Recently a poll was conducted and he won the title, "The king of clap backs". He is a terror to perceived enemies as they don't dare to cross his path out of fear of their dirty dealings being exposed.
Mr. Hundeyin doesn't just write for content and engagement but to help Nigerians see properly, the deceit of the current order which they would ordinarily not have access to. He spends his time and scarce resources to keep Nigerians abreast of truths, swept under the carpet and forgotten to enable the bulk of Nigerians make informed decisions and do away with the current order.
Yet, after all of these and his very recent exposé on BAT, some people are still so adamant and blind, that they have decided to follow BAT, even if he leads them to "Hades".
In my opinion, anyone, especially from the lower class who after reading Mr. Hundeyin's exposé and still decides that voting for BAT is the right thing to do is the Pharoah of his own destiny. The Egyptians he sees today, he will see tomorrow and keep seeing forever.
