Any group of idiots wey wan make Ogun drink their blood, make dem troop to the streets. Protests will be shot at sight with AK-47, survivors will be re-shot with AK-49. No single protester will be allowed to run away, if you run, you will be chased and sacrificed to the gods of Yoruba land including Ogun, Sango, Obatala, Osun, Aiyelala and Esu Odara

Good afternoon Nairalanders, my wife gave birth last week which was Saturday July 13th, that day was also my birthday, she gave birth through CS, this is our first child, and it's a boy.


This week Saturday is our baby's naming ceremony but my wife is insisting that her pastor must be the one officiate the naming the child, we've been disagreeing over this for some couple of days now,

she has called me all sorts of names, insulted me that I'm a very wicked man that I have no conscience, that after she pain and tearing she went through and still going through, I can't make this as a sacrifice for her, that I choose my family over her. She said so because my family also insist too that the naming must be done by our pastor.

But she's keying on the fact that she won't agree for the naming to be done in my church that it must be done by her pastor, she has cried and insulted me regarding this. Yesterday when we were arguing about this same particular issue she starting crying endlessly and calling me a wicked man.

I have finally agreed for her to use her pastor to do the naming, although I don't know her pastor and haven't seen him before, but I only agreed because of the CS operation she did while giving birth, her endless crying might affect her, if not there's absolutely no way possible I'd have agreed.

I must say that she doesn't know the repercussions of what sha has done by challenging my authority and always wanting to have her way with tears all the time. But time sha tell, I'm in so much rage right now, and I'm trying my possible best to control myself and not to loose my anger over this.

While it is tempting to celebrate Nigeria's relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio of 41.3% as a testament to prudent financial management and economic stability, we must critically examine the broader context and avoid falling prey to government propaganda that often distracts from more significant issues. This pattern of overhyping modest achievements, unfortunately, obscures deeper systemic problems and reflects a troubling reliance on superficial metrics to paint an overly optimistic picture of economic health.

First, it's essential to understand that the debt-to-GDP ratio is just one of many indicators of a country's financial well-being. While a lower ratio can suggest economic stability, it does not automatically equate to overall economic prosperity or effective governance. For instance, Nigeria's external debt stood at a staggering $41.59 billion (N31.98 trillion) as of December 2023. Despite the favorable debt-to-GDP ratio, this figure represents a significant financial burden that the government often downplays.

Moreover, Nigeria's total debt is approximately N97.34 trillion, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO). This figure, when considered alongside other economic indicators such as inflation, unemployment, and poverty rates, paints a more comprehensive and less rosy picture of the country's economic health. Celebrating a low debt-to-GDP ratio without addressing these critical issues is misleading and fails to provide a complete understanding of Nigeria's economic challenges.

This tactic of highlighting mediocre achievements to distract from broader failures is not new. In the past, the government has celebrated minor improvements in literacy rates or the addition of a few kilometers of roads while ignoring the crumbling infrastructure and inadequate educational facilities. Such selective reporting serves as a distraction from the government's overall poor performance in critical areas that directly impact the quality of life of its citizens.

For instance, the government previously touted a slight increase in literacy rates as a significant achievement, despite the increase being a negligible 0.2%. Similarly, the addition of a few dozen kilometers of new roadways was heralded as a major success, even as the existing road network remained in disrepair, contributing to severe traffic congestion and hampering economic activities.

The celebration of Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio in isolation follows this familiar pattern. It is essential to hold the government accountable for providing a holistic view of the country's economic status rather than relying on selective statistics that offer a skewed perspective. While debt management is undoubtedly important, it must be seen in conjunction with other economic factors to provide a true picture of the nation's financial health.

While Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio may be commendable at face value, it is crucial to approach such figures with a critical eye and demand transparency and comprehensive reporting from the government. Only then can we move beyond propaganda and truly assess the country's economic standing and address the underlying issues that hinder sustainable development and prosperity.

Sometimes criminals behave in a way that puts security agencies in a very difficult situation.
If a man decides to behave irrationally it's okay for police to be irrational with him too.
The police I know would have extended invitation to him and called him to come to their office and he has refused.
I'm sure he ran to that television studio believing falsely that he can't be arrested on set.
