It can be best said that Aloy is a CEO by day and a Twitter influencer by Night. As a humanitarian, he is quite passionate about the emancipation of Igbos in Nigeria. His tweets are especially relevant in a time when the Nigerian government has shown no sign of backing down from tyranny. From an inflammatory tweet threatening genocidal action against a tribe in Nigeria to a subsequent ban of the Twitter platform by the federal government due to the deletion of the said tweet, Nigeria has never been more in need of patriots willing to stand firm in the face of opposition.
