He is not defending anybody.

Didn't tinubu protest against Jonathan in 2012 ? Did anybody tribalise or blackmail tinubu and his Yoruba tribe ? No!

But look at the nonsense you are doing now tinubu is in power. Anybody that protest or criticize tinubu incompetency is now seen as igbo, obedient and enemy of the land that must be stopped at means.

You guys has blamed everybody but not tinubu who has made life miserable for Nigeria masses.

You guys blame Peter obi and igbo people for the protest and falsely accuse them of trying to destroy Lagos, igbo people pull out and say, they won't protest anymore.

Northerners take the lead and start and they are doing the protest in their region yet you guys are still accusing and blackmailing them of trying to remove tinubu from power.

The same Northerners thay give tinubu majority of the votes that make him win the election!

What is actually wrong with you people. Nobody can protest anymore in Nigeria without Apc Yoruba tribalising and blackmailing Nigerians that are exercising their constitutional rights.

Instead of guys to tell tinubu to sit up, you choose the game of blames, tribalism and blackmailing to subject and silence Nigerians not to speak against tinubu failure.

History is recording all these, because it will come back and hunt you guys. Tinubu will not be president forever.

In commencement, this must begin with a cliche, for what is unfolding is not novel . In the end , even in all its mutations and profusions , there is a stupefying banality to evil.
Admittedly, in the reckoning of the majorly aggrieved, this is long overdue.
Indeed, they say, it’s had innumerable incarnations but despite all the missed opportunities afforded the other half( the minuscule governing and lording it over the great unwashed, the impoverished citizens and silent majoritarians ), to govern in the interest of the greater number, the upheavals and convulsions imminent, have only proved but one immutable thing( fact);that Nigeria is peopled by red- blooded human beings and that Nigeria would not be the first ahistorical nation; that Nigeria would be governed by and be subject to the inexorable laws of nature/ history. Nigeria will not dance to a tune yet not composed, she shall March according to the laws that govern the affairs of men and nations, and heaven shall not fall.

In my estimation, There is an ordinariness to all this, but what is not ordinary is the emergence of the “begging collective “; the poor have turned our lords of the manor to mere mortals; the rich are crying ( crocodile tears) and disturbing us with the cacophony of their begging.

When the” privilegentsia “consume, more than its sweat entitles it to, the poor and deprived will have to “make do” with only what’s left, and this will be the rich and fat cats , remaining , as available repast to assuage the hunger in their stomachs , which hunger is fostered by the bad governance of the privilegentsia

Suddenly The grumblings of the stomachs of the poor , for long disregarded , have now attained and achieved critical syncopation and the guilty are afraid.

Everyone is now begging everyone of them not to protest; Maigida and Babangida are now joined in a common enterprise; begging maiguard and asawo ati awon boys, not to protest.

In my view, whether the protest now takes place or not, its main purpose is already achieved; everyone is now begging the poor not to rock the boat.
We never imagined that the day will dawn, when the Janus faced, fork tongued , grabbing , rapine and rapacious “kakistocrats and kleptocrats “ strutting the streets of opulence will on bended knees, initiate and now join the national pastime of begging the poor, but what is this begging for and about; that there’d be a cessation of bad governance or just seeking reprieve from the portents imminent ??.
The faceless, pauperised poor have now turned the rich to mendicants and beggars; but “oro Ebe o sele”; Fela said so; for when “area cast and jungle matures”, there’d be no place for begging.

Kongi hectored and pretended to lecture, from a wobbly and termites infested lectern, in forced response to the importunings of the supplicant and bewildered poor, to whom he had been a guide and lightning rod in similar times in the past that we should grab and enter his throat “to extract his sought , fitting description of the tableau of want that has gripped our land; a general horror , like manifest in these times that , he would have assayed , as he had severally in times past, were his “molebi”not the occupant of the throne. But even he could not escape the pull of “molebi “ and I cringe before “Odole “, that Adimu can falter in winter and render an “undarnable “rent in his cassava sticks .

Yes o, begging rents the air; everyone is “bebeing “, the traditional class is Drinking pasisei; the thieving and hollow soul politician in and out of power is in mockery , begging.
In bewilderment I look , and marvel at being ringside witness to the verity of the title of the tome;” The Rich also Cry”.
I am a Nigerian and as Nigeria has not proved impervious to the March of history, let me also not prove impervious to the current trend and national preoccupation; me sef go join the beggars to beg the majorly aggrieved; abeg make una no protest; dem go change, Abi.
Ikoli.

How has this senseless comment helped in any way apart from praising and encouraging the Thieves for their “smartness” while mocking the victim for allowing his kindness and humanity to cost him 22k. ?!


I cringe in disgust when I see foolish/stupid comments like that “Mugu go fall, guy man chop” on this platform. Has our society really gotten to this low were thieves and criminals are congratulated and exalted for outsmarting and robbing their fellow Nigerians?!?

The Op created this thread to seek help in recovering his funds while also alerting the public as to the new methods these thieves devise by going as a couple and using a crying baby as a means of escape, yet you deemed it the right time and moment to display your foolishness by coming in to call the fraudster “wise”. Probably your parents I’m sure😒
From the abundance of your heart, I’m guessing scam is what you also do and you think it’s wise abi?!

I chose not to ever have dialogue with Nigerians on this issue because majority of Africans have problem. It is a big waste of time talking to them about this.

They didn't learn anything after 400 years of slavery and they are supporting colonisation, genocide and ethnic cleansing of Arabs. They think all Palestinians are Muslims. Their ignorance is on high tramadol.

They know nothing about the crisis
They know nothing about Balfour Decoration
They know nothing about Oslo and Abraham Accord.

The only thing they know is, because it is Israel it must be supported because the Bible says this and that.

Taibe is a Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank. Israelis harass those people everyday in a systematical way and steal their farm produce. These Nigerians are the most ignorant people. Don't waste your precious arguing with them. They think this is holy Israel of the Bible.

Israelis are actually European and American settlers who stole the land of Palestine.

"They continued eating in silence, each mouthful heavy with unspoken thoughts. When it seemed everyone had finished, they turned their attention to me. 'You tried,' the father said, 'but your dad couldn't even hold a spoon when we visited my home.' Memories of school days resurfaced, and they pondered why certain customs persisted. 'I think it's more about cultural upbringing,' I offered, explaining how, from a young age, eating habits were segregated along gender lines, even among relatives.

The atmosphere eased as the father reminisced about old school days shared with my dad, emphasizing their closeness. Then, abruptly, he shifted gears. 'So, what brings you here today?' he inquired, fixing me with a scrutinizing gaze. 'I came to see Ladi,' I replied cautiously. His response was measured, hinting at the weight of tradition. 'So your dad was serious?' he probed further. I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. He continued, explaining the intricacies of their customs, emphasizing the importance of the daughter's consent before any further discussions could take place.

I wanted to interject, to declare Ladi's acceptance, but held back, sensing the gravity of the moment. With a final nod, the father rose from his seat, bidding me to convey his regards to my parents before departing.

As the tension dissipated, the mother took charge of the conversation, probing gently if i knew the man with us? When I admitted I didn't know him, she introduced him as Dimas, her eldest son, before turning her attention back to me. With a subtle shift, she announced my purpose: I was here to seek Ladi's hand in marriage, a declaration that hung in the air, awaiting acknowledgment."

We stayed a while not saying anything; I guess we were both in our own worlds, thinking about what's next. Mani came in and told Ladi that the food was ready, and that we should join them at the dinner table. I just realized how hungry I was, but my stomach was filled with anxiety.

Ladi stood up and said, "Let's go and eat." I followed them to the dining room. As soon as I entered the dinner room, I immediately noticed the father and another man whom I don't know, along with the rest of the family, all seated.

"Good afternoon, sir. How are you, my son?" he responded. We exchanged pleasantries, and he asked me to be seated. The only vacant seat happened to be between Ladi and Fabi, which I had no choice but to take. I found this a bit strange because in my culture, men and women don't eat together. Still wondering, I heard, "Let's pray," and they bowed their heads and closed their eyes as the father started praying, and I joined them.

After praying, the mother dished for the father and herself, then the other man dished his. I was wondering if there were protocols. I decided to wait and see what would happen when it came to my turn. Ladi stood up and started dishing for me, then for herself, and sat down. Fabi and Mani followed suit.

Eating in front of so many women and in-laws was a bit awkward for me. So, I sat there, looking at the food. I could feel all eyes on me. The father then said, "Eat, young man, don't be afraid." I tried to eat, even though I was really hungry. After about 5 or 6 spoons, I couldn't continue. I stopped trying.

I honestly think the Igbos have lots of traits as Jews, so their claims should be adequately looked into..

We erupted into laughter, with all eyes on Lami, who remained serene, her smile unwavering. Fabi motioned for Mani to excuse us, then, with a solemn tone, turned to Lami. "Do you grasp the gravity of your decision?" Lami nodded silently. Fabi pressed further, "Then why keep me in the dark? Why not discuss it with me beforehand?" For the first time, Lami responded, "I only just made up my mind."

Fabi turned to me, her expression conflicted. "I'm sorry, I'm just... bewildered." "About what?" I inquired. "About what just transpired," she admitted. "Honestly, I'm a bit bewildered too, but happy"

As Fabi delved into questions about interreligious marriage, I expressed my openness, emphasizing mutual respect. When she queried about our children's religious affiliation, I advocated for their autonomy in choosing their faith. Redirecting the conversation, I questioned Fabi about her own religious practice. She admitted it was inherited. "Imagine if circumstances had placed you elsewhere," I posed. She conceded, "Likely I'd follow your faith." I continued, highlighting the lack of choice in birth circumstances. "So why fuss over what's beyond our control?" She fell silent, acknowledging my perspective.

She confessed her concerns about potential complications due to rigidity within my community but conceded understanding after our discussion, excusing herself.

Turning to Ladi, I expressed gratitude and vowed never to cause her regret. As our eyes met, she looked away, revealing a newfound vulnerability in her demeanor i have never seen before.

If it’s so inherent, why are men of today fighting their destiny so hard? Many are even turning to women to escape at a frightening rate. Some are using it as joke, some are downright serious about it.


This is because men and women approach relationships differently, being in relationship as a woman is completely different from what you can ever tolerate as a man. Women tolerate it because of MONEY, even a lacking man will tolerate a woman’s excesses if she builds him the way men build lowly women.

I am not against polygamy at all, all I’m trying to tell you is that real men don’t feel too Hot for ladies until money enters their accounts. Even the rich easily get bored of themselves and cheat.

What does that tell you? It is money that is polygamous and not your dick.

I read your comments twice and honestly don't understand your questions?

Why are men of today fighting their destiny so hard Destiny? Hard?


Many are even turning to women at a frightening rate? For what?

Maysdevices:
Man is irresponsible by nature because of their forced provider status, not some polygamous DNA strain


No person that provides wants to stay with one person, man or woman

It isn't forced, it inherent in men, to provide and protect. So is their nature to sample..

Why do you see men start thinking of marrying more wife or increase sampling when money comes their way? But for women, that's when they start saying I don't need a man, am free and independent?

You ask an interesting question.

Hatred is usually caused by mothers, and to some extent, fathers. Polygamy? The truth is, man is polygamous by nature; it's society that's trying to change the narrative. That's why you see baby mamas all over. If a man is capable, why accept his mistresses/baby mamas outside but restrict him from marrying them? Why shame the mothers outside? It should be encouraged, honestly. The benefits outweigh the shortcomings. It gives children legitimacy, secures the women in case of death, and more, which I won't delve into further.

The capacity of the man when it comes to managing two or more women is where the majority of the problems come from. On the women's side, the major problem is their inherent sense to protect their own, and this leads to jealousy and competition.

We first need to accept our shortcomings, then work out a way that protects All..

"After their mother left, we were quiet for a while, like characters in a suspenseful sitcom, all pondering, 'What's the deal here?' I swear, it felt like we were in some bizarre reality show. I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly Fabi blurts out 'our In-law' with a grin. We all turn to look, and there's Lami, trying to play it cool but failing miserably.

Then Fabi coughs, breaking the tension, and I realize I've somehow won Lami over. But before I can revel in my triumph, Fabi's like, 'Is this real?' And I'm like, 'I'm as baffled as you are!' Then she turns to Lami, and we all stare expectantly, but Lami's playing shy for the first time ever.

Things get awkward real quick. We went from carefree to 'Is this a soap opera?' in seconds. Fabi keeps trying to dig deeper, but Lami just smiles like she's got some secret sauce. Fabi, bless her curiosity, turns to me and drops this bombshell: 'Did you know Lami came back from Kene's and basically said, 'Nah, not feeling it'? She even begged us to crash at yours so she wouldn't have to deal with your toast.'"

"The mother clapped her hands, expressionless, and said, 'Ladi, I hope you understand what accepting this ring means?' Ladi replied, 'I think so.' 'So, what do you think it means?' her mother asked. 'Mum, I do,' Ladi responded. 'I hope you do,' the mother deadpanned.

She then went and sat beside Ladi, placing her hands on her shoulder, and said, 'These things are not done like this, my dear. We have traditions here with procedures for such matters. I'm just meeting this young man for the first time. I know his father has always called me his in-law, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't follow our traditions. Normally, both families must have agreed before such matters are brought up. We've never discussed this issue as a family. How do you want your father to feel, knowing his position on marrying outside?' Ladi didn't respond.

The mother turned to me and looked at me for a while, saying nothing. My mind went blank. I tried to say something, but couldn't think of what to say. Then she said, 'My young man, what's your name?' I told her my name is Yah. 'I can't believe we're discussing such matters on our first meeting,' she said. 'Anyway, for your information, we have our traditions here when it comes to such matters. But since she has accepted the ring, that means she has accepted you. However, as a family, we haven't discussed this matter before. You just ambushed me,' she exclaimed, raising her hands in the air. I don't know if it was the way she said it or the hopeless look on her face that made all of us start laughing, somehow easing the tension in the room.

She continued, 'As I was saying earlier, we have our traditions, and such matters need to be discussed within the family before we can respond as a family. So, please tell your parents we have received your message, and we will respond as soon as possible.' Without waiting for my response, she stood up and said, 'Let me go finish cooking your lunch.'"

“She took the ring from my hand and looked at it for a while, then looked straight into my eyes for a moment and said, ‘So you are serious?’ I didn’t know what to say, so I just smiled and she smiled too.

Neither of us spoke for a while as she continued to examine the ring. Then she asked, ‘Where did you get the ring from?’ Before I could answer, she said, ‘It looks unique and old.’ I explained that my mother gave it to me, that it’s the ring my father gave her when they got married. She remained silent for a while, then stood up and said, ‘Let me arrange something for you to eat.’ Before I could respond, she got up and left.

I was left alone in the parlor, wondering if I had moved too quickly. Then I noticed the ring on the chair where she had been sitting. Various negative thoughts started to flood my mind. Does she not like me? Does she already have someone else? I began to regret allowing my parents to push me into this situation, feeling confused about what to do.

As I was about to pick up the ring, I heard footsteps approaching the door she had gone out of. Thinking it was her, I sat back down. I heard a female voice say, ‘Good afternoon,’ but I could tell it wasn’t her voice. I turned and saw two young girls, the youngest of whom greeted me. I responded and exchanged pleasantries with them. The eldest girl mentioned that her younger sister had told her that I was Alhaji Baba’s son. I nodded, unsure of where this was heading. She introduced herself as Fabi, Ladi’s elder sister, and pointed to the younger girl, introducing her as Mami.

They sat in the seats opposite me, where Ladi had been sitting, and asked how my parents were doing, smiling. I told them they were doing well. Fabi then said, ‘Do you know your dad is a very funny man?’ I smiled and asked why she thought so. She laughed and said that since she was young, whenever he would visit, he would always call her his wife and tell her dad that he would marry her. She would always refuse, but one day when he came around and she was with Ladi, who was about 5 years old at the time, he called her his wife again. This time, Ladi said she would marry him because he always gave them gifts. He told her he was too old to marry her, but he had a son who would marry her. I smiled and told her that my dad had always told me he had a beautiful wife waiting for me, especially when he returned from a journey. We all burst out laughing.

I felt at ease chatting with Ladi’s elder sister. After a while, Ladi joined us, but I noticed she wasn’t saying anything and seemed preoccupied with finding something on the seat. She asked her sisters to stand up, and her elder sister asked what she was looking for. Ladi said she thought she left something on the seat. As soon as her youngest sister stood up, her elder sister saw the ring and asked, ‘Where did you get that from? Please let me see it.’ Ladi handed the ring to her elder sister. Fabi looked at it and said, ‘Wow, it’s beautiful. Where did you get it from?’ Ladi remained silent, ignoring her sister. Fabi looked at me with an inquisitive smile and asked, ‘Is it from you?’ I smiled and nodded. The youngest sister, who had been quiet the entire time, excitedly said, ‘Please please let see it.
As soon as Fabi handed over the ring to her, she stood up, running and shouting, “Mummy, mummy!” Ladi called out to her to come back, but she was already gone. I wondered how all of this would play out, feeling a bit confused. Fabi looked at me and asked, “What is it for? Is it a gift or something else?” with a smile on her face. I didn’t know how to respond, so I told her that it was for Ladi and she knows what it is for. Fabi then turned to Ladi and asked her the same questions, but Ladi remained silent, smiling.

While Fabi was still questioning us about the ring, their mother walked in with Mami. I stood up, greeted her, and we exchanged pleasantries. She asked me where I got the ring from. I explained that my mother gave it to me to give to Ladi. She remained quiet for a while, then turned towards Ladi and asked her, “Do you know what this ring means?” Ladi nodded in response. Their mother then asked, “And you accepted it without informing your parents?” Ladi stayed silent. She then looked at me and said, “But your mom knows that this ring is only given to a wife on the wedding day.” I didn’t know what to say at that moment. She continued, “I’m sure when their father comes back, you will get a response, young man. But for now, I suggest you keep the ring until you hear from us.” Before I could even think of a response, Ladi told her mother, “I have already accepted the ring...”

Wow, I never knew the level of hatred for Islam is this high in thiscountry?

When you take the numbers of Muslims killed and ramsomed by either BH or Herdmen, I don't think the Christian has lost a quarter of what the Muslims has lost.

Most here are practising the religion they are birthed into, which is not by their choice. So you birthed into a religion/tribe, what moral justification do you have to see the others as lesser beings? You can as well be that persons position if you were birthed there?

Therefore, we should think wisely before we condemn other, you can't see from their position of view, if you are slaved by myopic stereotype designed to capture your reasonings.

For God sake, we are first considered blacks, that's our identity, why allow others sentiments to becloud our reasoning, we should reawaken our minds..

It is important to think wisely and avoid condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes because:

1. Fairness and Justice: Condemning others based on stereotypes is unfair and unjust. It assumes that all individuals within a certain group are the same, disregarding their unique qualities, experiences, and perspectives. Treating people unfairly based on stereotypes perpetuates discrimination and inequality.

2. Empathy and Understanding: Thinking wisely allows us to cultivate empathy and understanding towards others. By putting ourselves in their shoes and considering their point of view, we can develop a deeper understanding of their experiences, challenges, and motivations. This helps foster compassion and promotes harmonious relationships.

3. Overcoming Bias: Narrow-minded stereotypes are often rooted in bias and ignorance. By challenging these stereotypes and actively seeking to understand others, we can overcome our own biases and preconceived notions. This allows us to engage in more meaningful and respectful interactions, breaking down barriers and building bridges between different communities.

4. Personal Growth: Thinking wisely and avoiding stereotypes is not only beneficial for others but also for our own personal growth. It expands our horizons, broadens our perspectives, and enhances our ability to critically analyze situations. By embracing diversity and inclusivity, we become more open-minded, adaptable, and tolerant individuals.

5. Building a Better Society: Condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes hinders social progress and cohesion. By thinking wisely and avoiding stereotypes, we contribute to the creation of a more inclusive, accepting, and harmonious society. This leads to stronger communities, where individuals can thrive and contribute their unique talents and perspectives.

In summary, thinking wisely and avoiding condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes promotes fairness, empathy, personal growth, and a more inclusive society. It allows us to break free from biases and embrace diversity, fostering understanding and respect among individuals from different backgrounds.

Dear Mr. President,
BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR
ASO VILLA, ABUJA.

An OPEN LETTER..

IT’S TOO MUCH.... CORRUPTION
Mr President, Compliment of the season.
As a citizen of this country, I believe our major problem is CORRUPTION. As PMB said if we don’t kill it, it will kill Us. Many deaths in the country are directly or indirectly linked to Corruption.
The state of Institutionalised Corruption in governance can never allow any program succeed, because everyone want to take from the pie even before the program sees the light.
Institutionalised Corruption has been a persistent issue in Nigeria, hindering the country’s progress and development. To combat this pervasive problem, it is crucial to implement effective strategies and take decisive actions.
Mr President, the previous ADMISTRATION, FAILED, why, because corruption fought back, and the will wasn’t there, and nepotism (corruption) took the front stage.
Sir, we have honest and hard working Nigerians that are willing to serve. Most of the people seeking for appointments are majorly there to serve their personal interests.
Sir, if the only legacy you can leave behind, please let it be, here was the President that changed our destiny by fighting corruption squarely, RENEWED HOPE.
Your Excellency, I watched your wife on TV during the campaign and she said “God has blessed us, we are here to serve “ so you have no reason to fear, that fear is what that has held us from moving forward. The truth is that for you to succeed, you most be ready to sacrifice members of your inner caucus, family and friends. I believe money making wasn’t your desire when you came out, as your wife said you already blessed. RENEWED HOPE starts with fighting Corruption.
Mr President, appointments should be made on merit, anyone seeking for any appointment should come forward with his proposal or plans in that MDA. They should let you know what value they want to add and quarterly reporting of steps taking to achieve the goals.
You need to let them know that, they are here to make you succeed, if they are not ready, then flush them out. You should be ready for these sacrifices.
To achieve this your Excellency, we need to have a paradigm shift, to start with, we need pay a living wage. The truth is, with the present salary structure, it encourages corruption. As civil servant and citizens there should be some privileges that should cushion the salary. These can come in as free/subsidised Education, Health care and retirement benefits.
Below are steps that I believe if implemented will go a long way in reducing Corruption.

1. Strengthening Anti-Corruption Institutions:
One of the primary steps to combat corruption is to strengthen the existing anti-corruption institutions, such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). These institutions should be adequately funded, granted operational autonomy, and provided with the necessary resources to carry out their duties effectively. Additionally, there should be a clear framework for cooperation and coordination among these institutions to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.
The police as an institute should have a major reorientation, they should know this battle starts with them.

2. Promoting Transparency and Accountability:
Transparency and accountability are crucial in the fight against corruption. The Nigerian government should prioritize the implementation of transparent governance systems and mechanisms. This includes ensuring public access to information, promoting financial transparency, and enforcing strict accountability measures for public officials. Whistleblower protection laws should be redesiged and strengthened to encourage individuals to report corruption without fear of reprisal.

3. Enhancing Legal Frameworks and Judicial Reforms:
To effectively combat corruption, Nigeria needs to enhance its legal frameworks and judicial systems. This involves enacting comprehensive anti-corruption laws and regulations that cover a wide range of corrupt practices. The legal system should provide for swift and fair trials of corruption cases, with no room for undue influence or manipulation. Strengthening the judiciary, ensuring the independence of judges, and increasing their capacity to handle corruption cases are also critical steps in this regard.

4. Fostering International Cooperation:
Corruption is a global issue, and combating it requires international cooperation. Nigeria should actively engage with international organizations, such as the United Nations and the African Union, to access technical expertise, share best practices, and collaborate on initiatives to fight corruption. International cooperation also includes extradition treaties and mutual legal assistance agreements to facilitate the repatriation of stolen assets and the prosecution of corrupt individuals.

5. Educating and Raising Public Awareness:
Education and public awareness play a vital role in fighting corruption. Efforts should be made to educate citizens, particularly the youth, about the detrimental effects of corruption on society and the economy. This can be done through school curricula, public campaigns, and community outreach programs. By promoting a culture of integrity and ethics, the society can actively reject corruption and demand accountability from public officials.

6. Embracing Technology and Innovation:
Leveraging technology and innovation can significantly contribute to the fight against corruption. Implementing e-governance systems, digitalizing public services, and using blockchain technology for transparent transactions can help reduce opportunities for corruption. Additionally, digital platforms can enable citizens to report corruption anonymously and provide real-time feedback on government services, enhancing transparency and accountability.

Technology and innovation can play a significant role in combating corruption in Nigeria. Here are some ways in which they can be utilized:

1. E-Governance Systems: Implementing e-governance systems can streamline government processes and reduce opportunities for corruption. Digitalizing public services, such as tax payments, license applications, and procurement processes, can minimize human intervention and create a transparent and efficient system. This reduces the scope for bribery and ensures that services are provided in a fair and accountable manner.

2. Digital Financial Transactions: Embracing digital payment systems can help reduce corruption in financial transactions. Encouraging the use of electronic payment methods, such as mobile money and online banking, can eliminate the need for cash transactions, which are more susceptible to corruption. It also creates a digital trail that can be easily audited, reducing the chances of embezzlement and bribery.


3. Blockchain Technology: Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize transparency and accountability in various sectors. Implementing blockchain in areas such as land registry, public procurement, and healthcare can provide an immutable and tamper-proof record of transactions. This eliminates the possibility of corruption and ensures that records are secure and transparent.

4. Whistleblower Platforms: Technology can facilitate anonymous reporting of corruption through dedicated whistleblowing platforms. These platforms can provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to report instances of corruption without fear of reprisal. By leveraging technology, whistleblowers can remain anonymous, and their reports can be securely transmitted to relevant authorities for investigation.

5. Data Analytics and AI: Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to detect patterns and anomalies that indicate potential corruption. By analyzing large volumes of data, AI algorithms can identify irregularities and suspicious activities that may go unnoticed by human investigators. This can help prioritize investigations and improve the efficiency of anti-corruption efforts.

6. Civic Engagement and Social Media: Technology, especially social media platforms, can empower citizens to actively engage in the fight against corruption. Social media can be used to raise awareness, share information, and mobilize public opinion against corrupt practices. Online platforms can also facilitate the organization of anti-corruption campaigns, protests, and petitions, putting pressure on authorities to take action.

Sir, It is important to note that while technology and innovation can be powerful tools in the fight against corruption, they are not a panacea. It is crucial to ensure that these technologies are implemented with proper safeguards, cybersecurity measures, and oversight to prevent their misuse. Additionally, efforts should be made to bridge the digital divide and ensure that all segments of society have access to these technological advancements.
CONCLUSION.
It is important to emphasize that tackling corruption requires a multi-faceted approach that involves collaboration between government, private sector, civil society, and citizens. The efforts should include legislative reforms, institutional strengthening, technological innovations, and a commitment to enforcing anti-corruption laws and policies no matter who the individual is.
Mr. President, if you fight this battle, you’ve fought more than half of our problems, other facets will automatically fall into place. We will now know Yes, The RENEWED HOPE is really real.
WE’VE SEEN YOUR FIRST STEPS, PLEASE CONTINUE, WE ARE TOTALLY BEHIND YOU, I PRAY YOU WILL HAVE THE COURAGE AND STRENGTH TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS MONSTER, I PRAY NO BE INITIAL GRAGRA......
Respectively Yours,

OMG, if people can think like this, then am sorry for the country...

nairalanduser23:
I am tired of my wife's quarrelsome behaviour which I think she reserves for me. I can be having a honest conversation with her and out of nowhere it will lead to a quarrel with her. It suprises me. Strange enough, I have observed her conmunication with neighbours, work colleagues and she knows how to compose herself but when it is me even a funny comment can upset her. Even when I tell her I didn't mean her negative interpretation of a comment, she will still insist on her negative interpretation. She sometimes talks to me in a way that seems unfriendly to the point that I desire her talking to me the way she talks to outsiders. I have talked to her about it but it is not helping matters. She acts like she is not ware of her tone but there is a stark difference between how she talks to me and other people. I earn far more than her and take care of the house bills so money is not an issue. I feel like I am the only one proactive about peace in the marriage while she is care-free. How can I deal with this?

Divorce her immediately, life is too short to live with negative people..

It's ONLY fools that think Peter Obi is d saviour they are looking for.
Common sense should tell u that,; these people are busy securing their children's and generations future while u kill yourselves for them.
You have ONLY one vote, make it count and let others breath.
Politics is a game of interest and my interest and conscience is; TO STAY VERY FAR FROM IT because ITS EVIL! Not Until the common citizens are ready to rise; AM NOT A FAN OF ANY POLITICIAN THAT ARE BUSY SECURING THEIR GENERATIONS FUTURE.
Wishing people death for telling u d truth goes a long way to reaffirm my point that Obidients are synonymous with FOOLISHNESS and if u think am for APC, PDP or others; THAT EQUATES TO BIGGER FOOLISHNESS!

Since your problem is Sex and your wife cannot meet up your demands I don't think the issue of divorce should be brought up.
Remember, there are children in the picture.
My take, since your dad prefer divorce to cheating, I'd advise you take a second wife and let the sleeping dog l..

THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THESE OBIDIENTS WERE SO HOSTILE TO OTHER PEOPLES AND REGIONS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, YET THEY INSIST THAT THE SAME PEOPLE THEY WERE ABUSING DAILY AND CALLING ZOO ANIMALS ACTUALLY TROOPED OUT EN MASSE TO VOTE FOR THEIR CANDIDATE.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A DELUDED SET OF PEOPLE.

I had a meeting with an Asian in Nigeria. While we were discussing, the issue of corruption came up, and he said Nigerians are "honestly corrupt " I asked him what do you mean?? He then said, if you give a bribe to a Nigerian, s/he will at least try to do what you want.

He said in his country they will collect your money and still deal with you and you can't complain?

Peter Obi said politicians that do not have anything good to offer usually promote division and tribal bigotry. That is what has happened down the years and is now heavily fuelled by Tinubu's greedy ambition. Unfortunately, there's no way back from this cesspool and the future is grim for Nigeria. Like you always say, japa is the best option right now.

Did you hear where Obi was saying "Yes Daddy ", was that promoting unity?

If this massacre happened in sambisa forest we'd feel some momentum. 103 people vanishes overnight in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos...they have no bodies,no friends or families,no co-workers,no neighbors,no pictures or videos . How can people be this gullible.
The day ipob got involved in this endsars was when I knew it was now about to turn into a clownery of ludicrous lies.

This young couple are having a serious fight to the extent the wife was packing her things that she's leaving and neighbours where there trying to plead with them to calm down, and both insisting it's over.

While the wife was busy bringing her things out of the house, insulting themselves anytime she passes by, at a stage while she was passing in front of him, he now said "see her natsh" she turn and said "you like am" he then nodded, na so everyone bursted out lol and fighting finish...

If we don't allow these people go in peace, we will be hated all over the world, JUST LET THEM GOOOOO..

Jt seems you guys eyes don dey open now, when i said this guyman dey press una mumu button, una say na lie na una in-law, indeed...
