Have you been to the whole Nigeria?

ruggedtimi:
Oya travel from warri to Benin....Although Nigeria has made improvements in road infrastructure, particularly in these South-South states( Rivers state/Akwa Ibom)

ruggedtimi:
There’s nothing wrong with Trump; people just aren’t used to a president being so informal. Most U.S. presidents act with a formality that feels almost like a monarch, But Trump often speaks and acts differently, more like an ordinary person than a typical president.

mrvitalis:
So you would love your ethnic group to be treated like Igbos? .. It's a simple yes or no leave grammar

mrvitalis:
Would you want your ethnic groups to be treated like Igbos in Nigeria?

mrvitalis:
Would you like your tribe to be treated like Igbos in Nigeria instead of how they are treated now?

mrvitalis:
If saying the truth is saying negative things then we would keep saying it

If there is no negative thing we won't have nothing to day

A mallam just called for the beheading of a pastor, DSS have done nothing, police have done nothing can an Igbo man do the same?

You were here when 300k plus Igbo youths were intentionally failed in jamb

700 terrorists have been freed but kanu is in prison

U want more?

helinues:

huptin:
I love seeing terrorists squirm in pains... It gives me immense joy.

However as advised There are very cheap options to end your misery... You can join your cowardly but boastful Supreme Leader and his 250 followers killed like fowls by Isreal...in hell to fight over scarce virgin demons...

DarkJeddi:

God1000:
Donald trump is a talkative, always talking nonsense & writing rubbish

ekineme:
E dey pain dem, they want to behave like nicodemus, They want to beg in secret and talk tough in public.
Trump got no chill, he says it the way it is, shikina.
They got no more card to play, so 🤷, All terrorist lovers take you L and F**k off.

Asmanthinket:
you don't sound like a Christian. If you are really a Christian, you should know that what Trump is doing is for the good of Christians. Attacking pope is to tell you that God is actually using Trump to protect the Christians from the hands of Muslims and their Christian stooge like Pope and Co. Why haven't pope condemn the killings of Christians by Islam all these years. This is the main reason Americans hardly vote a roman Catholic member for president.

Julianashama:
if us start raining bomb I don't want to hear genocide oo

CharlotteFlair:
You see good things about Nigeria because your god has killed it's democracy and security of life and properties.
F**lish gaslighter!

BodePolScience:
I wonder what will happen If they leave two of them alone...

AKONE:
Nigeria has become the punchline of Africa. And Nigerians? We’ve become people the world has learned to keep at arm’s length. The moment you say you’re Nigerian, suspicion lands before you’ve said another word. You may eventually prove yourself, yes—but the suspicion comes first. You are guilty until you spend time proving otherwise. We haven’t just messed up our own country. We’ve become a problem other nations have to manage.

Recently, Ghana’s President, John Mahama, said something that should have shaken us awake. He prays every day for Nigeria to get its act together. Not because he loves us so dearly—but because if we don’t, his country will keep drowning in the flood of our dysfunction. A neighbouring leader is on his knees, not for Ghana, but for Nigeria. Because our problem has become Africa’s problem.

And yet, here at home, we walk around like everything is normal. Abnormality has become our comfort zone. Honesty feels strange. Doing the right thing makes you a lonely figure swimming against a raging current. You wake up each morning and have to fight to stay sane in the middle of insanity. It is exhausting. It is heartbreaking. And it is not accidental.

We have lost our value system. Completely.

Let’s be honest: when we say someone is “doing well,” what do we really mean? We mean they have money. That’s it. Not that they are honest. Not that they are diligent. You could be the most faithful employee, a model of integrity—but if your bank account doesn’t impress, society looks right through you. You are invisible. Uncelebrated.

This mindset has blood on its hands. Today, we give chieftaincy titles to men whose wealth we know came from stolen public funds. We know the stories. We read the headlines. Yet we sit there and clap.

This is why internet fraud is booming. Why figures are cooked in offices. Why business owners sell poison and call it product. Why a young girl feels her body is her only currency. Why politicians empty state coffers and sleep like babies. Because we have built a world where wealth equals worth. Nothing more. Nothing less.

And here is the painful truth that nobody wants to say out loud: society expects the fraud. The young man who travels abroad knows that his family back home will only be proud if he returns with a fat bank account. Never mind if he got there by pushing drugs or running Yahoo. They won't ask. They will just collect the money and call him a success. The politician who leaves office without a fleet of cars and a mansion in Abuja is not called honest—he is called a fool. We have created a culture where poverty in power is seen as incompetence, and wealth without traceable source is seen as blessing. So people do what they must to meet the expectation. They sell their conscience because the alternative—being poor and respected—is, in our society, a worse shame than being rich and crooked.

When money becomes the altar at which the society bows, people will bring any sacrifice required - including their conscience.

So what do we do? Or have we resigned ourselves to just complaining and sharing angry posts?

Here is where change begins—not in Aso Rock first, but in your living room. In my village. In the way we raise our children and the people we choose to celebrate.

First, stop celebrating wealth you cannot trace. That uncle with no visible business but a new mansion every year? Do not clap at family gatherings. That politician who buys your vote with rice and a thousand naira? Do not smile and collect. Silence is approval. And your silence has a name: complicity.

Second, ask the hard questions out loud. “What do you do for a living?” Ask it directly. Let people feel the weight. If they dodge, let the awkwardness hang. We have become too polite around thieves. Politeness is killing us.

Third, start at home with your children. Do not tell them to “make money by any means.” Tell them that a good name is better than gold. Tell them that if they cannot sleep with their eyes closed at night, no amount of money is worth it. And live that truth. Children do not listen to sermons; they watch your choices.

Fourth, stop voting for criminals. I know—easier said than done when hunger is real. But that small envelope of cash on election day is the price of your conscience. Let them know: your integrity is not for sale. Not for two thousand naira. Not for a bag of rice.

Fifth, the Church and the mosque must stop being billboards for corruption. If a known fraudster donates millions to build a cathedral, reject the money publicly. Let him take his stolen millions elsewhere. Houses of worship have become laundering machines for dirty wealth. It is time to say, “We don’t want your blood money.” That single act would shake the foundation of this rot.

Sixth, call out your own. Your friend who is into “Yahoo”? Do not laugh and say “God will bless him.” Tell him he is a disgrace. Lose the friendship if you must. Your colleague who inflates contracts? Report them. Yes, it is risky. But silence is why we are here. Every honest person who stays quiet is a helper of the dishonest.

And finally, redefine success in your own small world. When someone introduces a young man as “hardworking and honest,” celebrate that. When a public servant serves without demanding a bribe, applaud them publicly. We have to make integrity fashionable again. It will not happen from the top. It will happen from the ground up—one uncomfortable conversation, one refused bribe, one shamed fraudster at a time.

Do not wait for the government to fix our values. They are the product of our broken values, not the cause.

We can change. But change is not a decision that is comfortable. It is a decision that hurts. It will cost you friends, comfort, maybe even opportunities. But the alternative is what we have now: a nation that is laughed at, a people that are avoided, and a future we are stealing from our own children.

So the real question is not can we change. It is: are you willing to be the one who starts?

Because if not you, then who? And if not now, then when?
