We had three candidates, I chose the best one based on solid record of achievement how did that translate to not knowing a good leader? If your choice is a mediocre former governor who said you couldn't vote for him?
If that is your best and Nigerians are seeing he is the worst based on his reign so far, do you think you are smart or made a smart choice? Are you not seeing the hardship even around your neighbourhood? Cant you see even the protest everywhere? Characters like you should be hiding, because you brought the calamity.
That is exactly my concern, why can’t I eat my palm kernel in peace? Why do you cry incessantly over it?
Because ur inability to determine someone that can be a good leader has affected the majority of Nigerians, who now face serious hardship far beyond what the country has ever experienced. Due to your pride, ego, and loads of ignorance,.
ElSudani: Absolutely. Reason? He was the only leader who complained when you were using Naira to buy Naira. All the others kept quiet hoping it would benefit them. What did you all think was going on then?
ego no go kil som pipu sha. u r dying yet still saying all this eating just palm kernel to bed right?
Thinktwiceb4: Good evening all, pls someone should me because I can't think straight again since morning. I met a girl month ago, she has been on neck to have s*x with her for the past month but I always declined, at times I do reach the point but I always stop, but today's own was different cus I couldn't hold it any longer. Though it was not upto 2 minutes sex before I realized that the economy is not smiling but everything was inside already. After the s*x I contacted some people on what she can take, they recommended beecham and teem solar including the said girl, now she is feeling lizzy. Pls I don't know what to do, I can't think straight at the moment.
This is my first time having sex and it will be the last for now

immortalcrown: Some of the seized results may belong to students who didn't do malpractice.
7,000 Tinubus at WEAC level. And for some of them, their parents deliberately sponsored the malpractices. The parents will be among those condemning Tinubu for certificate forgery.
Children will do afternoon lessons and holiday (summer) lessons from pre-nursery to SS2. Yet, the same children cannot pass WAEC, NECO and JAMB without malpractice. Once they get to SS2 level, they will leave the school and run to 'miracle" centres. So, what is the essence of the afternoon lessons and the holiday lessons?
The Tinubu we know is like a saint when compared to the Tinubus of the future.
uche87: The conversation about regulating social media in Nigeria has refused to go away for some years now. It has been raised again by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and has been supported by other public figures. What makes the idea of social media regulation very intriguing is that it is being raised by politicians. It makes the issue very questionable and highly insidious because Nigerian politicians have sworn never to act in the public interest. This is as alarming as an armed robber complaining about the security architecture in Nigeria. I will be analyzing the issue in sub-sections to make the piece an easy read.
The transition of the Nigerian social media space
I have watched the transition of the Nigerian social media space as an active participant over the years. It used to be like dating networks. The real essence never made sense to a host of Nigerians. Later it became an avenue to connect with old friends who were scattered across the world. Some people would later turn it into a comparative tool for classism i.e. 'I better pass you'. Others used it to monitor the progress of people, especially the ones abroad. Businesses and music artistes soon started taking advantage of the increasing population of netizens. The politicians also came in for 'political business' in the process. Social media soon became a battleground among opposing political groups for who are the saints, sinners, and saviours of the hapless masses. It became a viable field for image-laundering for public figures and the profiles of politicians running for offices were highly exaggerated. Sponsored lies and gross misinformation were also orchestrated by political opponents against themselves. This was how the defilement of social media gradually started. Incrementally, these political rivalries on social media raised the political consciousness of Nigerians. They developed an interest in politics, started following political developments, and jumped on trends.
How the problem started
Today, the Nigerian social media space remains more polarised than ever. If you ever want to experience the heterogeneous structure of Nigeria, wait until the election period and you will be shocked about how people are divided across political, religious, tribal, geographical, economic, and even educational lines. After that, do a comparative study between the electioneering campaign period and the mood during the recently concluded AFCON 2024 where Nigeria united and stood behind the Super Eagles.
As political actors plot their campaign strategies, they factor in the control of mostly Twitter in their political plots. Almost all mainstream politicians have social media influencers/operators under their payroll. These individuals are tasked with spreading desirable narratives including falsehoods. In my view, the downside of social media is a monster created by the same people calling for the regulation of the system.
Enters the legendary Lai Mohammed
The Nigerian social media space was significantly polluted in the heat of the 2015 general elections by the then National Publicity Secretary of the ruling APC - Lai Mohammed. He hounded his party's political antagonists with humongous lies that left the devil shell-shocked. His winning strategy of disinformation was the needed catalyst for other questionable individuals in Nigeria highly skilled in spreading lies. The nodus of fake news went out of hand that the pioneer, Lai Mohammed became baffled at some point. He later advocated for the regulation of social media using his capacity as the Minister of Information. It is not advisable to trust the intentions of Nigerian politicians. Their original plan is to muzzle the social media space. They are fully aware of the dire economic situation of Nigerians. Their concern is that they wish Nigerians could suffer in silence and allow them to plunder public resources in peace. They don't want to be accountable for their actions. Politicians by nature have no definite stand in life on any public discourse. Today, they are the defenders and tomorrow they play the aggressors. They keep swinging both ways like bisexuals!
Social media is already self-regulatory
Do we have issues with social media in Nigeria? Yes! Do we need regulation? No! The social media space is already self-regulatory. The best way to fact-check any news report is to check the comment section of the news article. If you have a critical and discerning mind, you will see that comment that will either enlighten you or increase your doubts about its validity and reliability. In case the report matters to you, go further by searching for it on other mainstream media platforms. Social media platforms also flag fake content, reduce their visibility, block certain keywords, and sanction fake news peddlers. Furthermore, the laws of libel and slander in Nigeria already cover social media activities. Now and then, lawsuits are seen flying around against people accused of defamation. The Nigerian police also have a structure to combat fake news. The Nigerian politicians don't have genuine intentions as I have overemphasized. Fake news to them is that scathing news report that doesn't favour them. Social media regulation is the resemblance of a legal way of suppressing dissenting voices. It is the Chinese and Malaysian blueprint of social media censorship. You can't solve a problem that you are a party to.
Osahon George Osayimwen writes from England.
I agree with the writer completely. Yes, there are issues with social media, but social media has its own regulations. But you cant use social media to say all sorts of things and win elections, and then when others start using it to check your administrative performance, it becomes a devil. Therefore, we are not being honest. Social media is the only thing an ordinary Nigerian has left to make his/her voice heard, and if that too is taken, the worst will be seen from the government. Be warned!

It has claimed men like Kobe Bryant, miles Munroe and Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai businessman and the owner of the Leicester City soccer club in the Premier League.
Its safety record in the aviation industry should be one of the worst among flying machines.
Not at all. That chopper had provision for only six seats, and he never had any seats vacant for him; hence, he was advised to find alternative means to commute down.
shoodboi2: Israel is gearing its propaganda as it wants to begin bombing Rafah. Rafah is the last of the so-called "safe areas" Israel would tell Palestinians to go.
Once the Palestinians go there, Israel will claim to have discovered a Hamas tunnel there or rescued a hostage there, and use that as an excuse to begin bombing the Palestinians.
The same Israel continues to bomb hospitals and family houses in Gaza and West Bank, calling them power targets.
Every baby in the images below was killed when israel bombed their family house or hospital. The last baby is even still holding onto the bread he was eating when Israel bombed his house.
Hamas is the cause, not Israel. If you look for trouble, when it starts, you won't be in charge of controlling the level or boundary of response from the person you made trouble with. If Hamas did not attack Israel all this will not happen. So for those of you sympathisers of Hamas, think about it.
The beginning of an eth.nic crisis in Nigeria if nothing drastic or fast is done. We should not forget that only Fulanis are legally permitted to carry AK47, any other ethic group that tries it gets into trouble. So when you start attacking, keep that in mind, except maybe the new government may have changed the status quo. And Fiulais don't forgive, no matter how long. Therefore, the Yewa people should be ready.
