More people die in America daily than in Nigeria.

I didn't have time to post but I remember I saw this post in the morning. Here is my 2 naira OP👇

Nigerians are just insecure people. I mean, many of them are insecure, both the rich and the poor. The rich think if they can show off, they are better higher than others. The poor think if they can be humble or religious, they are better than others. After all, the rich will not go to heaven before the needle in a haystack or that thing they tell them.

What is the essence of this? Each time, Nigerians push the bar to oppress each other and play hunger games.

I can send my kids to private school.
I can send my kids to private tutors.
I can send my kids to holidays abroad.
I can send my kids to prom.
I can buy my kids a car for their 16 birthday.
I can order my kids from IVF store.
I can make my kids speak Queen's English but not my own language 🤡
Rich people, poor thinking. It's all signaling.

You will think our elites have sense to build but you can't give what you don't have. Whether na man or woman their thinking is myopic, parasitic and oppressive. Tell me, what did we bring to this world that we are taking out? Some people are saying contentment is not enough and we should forget it. Money is everything. Please, Deziani wasn't a poor woman before she became minister. She was working for an oil company, places where the President's sycophants make us assume that once you work there you become a billionaire 🤡

You cannot satisfy man's greed. It's never enough. They keep asking for more and more and more. They want the best of everything and they are selfish. Why? Because they only care about themselves. Guys don't forget that Dangote challenged the oil regulator boss to show Nigerians how he pays for his kids schooling in Switzerland private schools! Those kind of children, do you think they will work a minimum wage job and be okay? Never. Their parents have already corrupted their OS from foundation. That's why they all want their kids to join CBN, NNPC, FIRS and where all the cookie jars are but leave you all to work for NIS, Nigerian Army and Police, places they have neglected and destroyed for the common man.

You cannot spend your way out of poverty. If having money is the only thing you are, you're the poorest person on earth. God bless our first Republic premiers who did not abuse office and had enough sense to build institutions that will outshine them and outlast them when they leave office. That's what they call legacy. That's why I can never be convinced by these guys who try to paint Tinubu as what he is not. FGS, he is a public servant. You can't make this up. Except such a person is stealing he could not amass such riches. Note, I call it riches, not wealth because he didn't work for it. There's no wealth without enterprise. E no get as una wan change am. There were leaders before him, there was LKJ before him. There was Raji Rasaki, there was Marwa. None of them claimed they built Lagos but we know the work they did. Since 2003, they were talking about 4th mainland bridge, Fash no waste time to build Lekki Link bridge. Even if it's not the same, if you want to show governance, you will. There's no need for stories. They are all lies. Leave Lagos alone, what about Ogun, what about Enugu, what about Katsina? All our governors are so irresponsible, they want us to thank them for doing their work. I smh when I see our governors doing local government work and bragging about it. Look at Soludo challenging markets. Work OF LG chair

These elites in public service should all be taken and flogged in the public square. After they steal, what do they do? They foolishly buy houses abroad, send their children abroad and build economies outside. They are so insecure, they can't afford to see their people living life in a normal way. They want you to be bambiala for them. That's why they are scared of us asking them questions. They want to distract you and I and take your dignity away so you can worship them. If you cannot serve, get away from there. The other day, that Governor was telling us the work no easy. Like seriously, you begged for the job, why are you complaining to us?

The case of Deziani, like our other theives in government is to show you that they are poor. Poverty of the mind and the soul. Rich people in a poor country. The irony never makes sense to them. Cowards

Shameless lot-politicians

I was just about to write that most of our politicians lack ideology and here is another proof of it. PDP to APC to ADC, they follow people. I think after 2027 we need to get that party discipline right to help our country and democracy. It is very important. All these ones we have done with personalities only create cults, whether it is Atiku, Tinubu, Obi or Sowore.

It's not easy anywhere and don't think your ease makes everyone lazy and don't think your hard makes everyone else is wicked. We are tested in different ways on this earth but you have to get out of the matrix to know what is real wealth.

Let me search for the one who was 80 years old and pregnant.

Sorry, next time put the link in a quote or hyperlink. Thanks for sharing. What a story

I think we have a story like this in Nigeria but the person isn't up to 70. I think 60 and through IVF. It was in the news.

The embarrassment is not on Tinubu, it is on Nigeria.

If you have ever wondered why there has been so much increase in heedless behaviour and immorality, look not far. In fact, VDM has exposed it. As much as I do not regard him, what he has done is to question the so-called lawyers and elites who are supposed to fight for injustice but have used all technicalities to hide the truth. You think these young people are not looking at you people and your actions? You think they are dumb?

When you say the truth in this country, you will begin to sound like a moralist, like a virgin, like a saint because we know what is true but it pains us when someone else is saying it and is not willing to participate in our lies. You don't look like you are normal anymore.

The elders used to say that a man who does not know where the rain began to beat him cannot know where he dried his body. Today, we no longer look at a man’s character, we only look at the size of his harvest, even if he stole the yams. We have turned our backs on the quiet truth of our ancestors to dance to the loud drums of foolish men. Of course, when a society begins to crown jesters and mock the honest farmer, the roof is already falling on the house. That's why they once said when a thief tells you to gotocourt, his brother is the judge. It means the system is fixed, and a dishonest person is only acting bold because they control or have an unfair advantage in the system meant to judge them. They control the system, they are the king of boys

If we crush the seed of integrity just to celebrate the chaff, what will our children eat when the famine of character arrives? Na there we de so. Ajekun iya ti e je ehn, Davido and SDM never got sing am well yet.

Didn’t say the age so I’m guessing 50 - 57 years. Some women get pregnant at older ages. I once saw a video of an 80 or 85 year old with a pregnancy. Her granddaughters were complaining that they couldn’t raise the child, she should’ve kept her legs closed.

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.


But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.


“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.


Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.


“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.


Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

The gbajue supporters told us he is greater than Awo 🤣🤡 Yoruba ó ronu. You had opportunity to showcase your best to the world but you brought yourself so low that omoluabi concept is now something others are calling scam. Obasanjo did not know what day he was born but he told us his story of what his mom said. What do you expect when the head is rotten? The society will be perverse with heedlesness and moral corruption everywhere. Even if you go abroad, have you started noticing that other Africans abroad have started taking a jab at us? Something they never used to do. Now, they will scrutinize your credentials so much because APC has given us two presidents with education credential issues. Over time, your country has become a country where they will question you because you people have presidents with questionable credentials. These little things matter, it affects you masses more than you think. No be Tinubu go suffer that kain thin, na you ordinary Nigerians go take the hit

I have no problem with Tinubu anymore. The joke is not on him, the joke is on Nigeria as a society. A society that lacks integrity and explains away questionable things is making itself look like a clownish society. Tinubu is not the problem, it is the society that made it acceptable to lack integrity that is. In a normal society, it is APC as a party that would have screened out Tinubu, not the court. APC would have looked at who had better qualifications and moral compass as a party. There was once a country where Salisu Buhari had to resign for forgery of academic qualifications but today it doesn't matter because the electoral act did not say yadiyadiyada or the Constitution says this and that. Who do you think you are deceiving? What message are you passing to you children 🤡 It's not everything that is court or has to be written in the constitution. Some things are moral but what do I know? A whole SAN reminded us that the law is not moral and that's one of the first lessons I learned in law. Education is not enough, you can be educated but not learned, you can go to school but not schooled, you can come from a home but not raised properly and you can claim a lot of things but never be able to tell truth. Integrity is very expensive, all the money in the world cannot buy it.

Seun: Does the President have evidence that he went to school, or did he homeschool for primary and secondary school?

The important thing is how the scam called Tinubu the Democrat is fast unravelling. For years they postured as avowed Democrats
Today they are bragging that they "allow" people to win elections instead of the people's votes. Even Buhari is a far better Democrat than Tinubu can ever be!!

This man still think say na grandfather politics or who first come. Macron, your friend. How old was he when you started politics? Donald Trump was how old when he ran and beat Biden who had been in politics longer than him?

This set need to go. They have too much baggage from the past that they will be trying to settle scores instead of how things can be changed for the future. I hope this is enough signal for Nigerians to know that these guys are playing a game of seniority and turn by turn. It's always about them, not about the country. Let me help APC data boys, because both Atiku and Amaechi had wonderful things to say about their friend when he was with them. They are all in this together.

The #EndSARS movement was caused by decades of abuse, extortion, torture, and extrajudicial killings by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force.

A video circulated in early October 2020 showing SARS officers allegedly shooting a young man in Delta State. The viral video filmed in Ughelli, Delta State on October 3, 2020, depicted a young man lying on the roadside while a police vehicle sped away, leading the person filming to claim that SARS had shot the man and stolen his Lexus SUV .This sparked massive online anger and renewed a 2017 Twitter campaign demanding an end to the unit. That viral video and the widespread social media claims surrounding it were later stated by authorities and witnesses to be inaccurate regarding the claim of a fatal shooting.

We don't learn. Rinse and repeat.

I think one thing I have observed from their campaign this time around is focus on their areas of strength. Don't forget, only 28 states have elections next year, the rest are off cycle. NDC didn't have a candidate for Osun that just held.

Peter Obi was on the presidential ballot in 2023, but the Labour Party did not have candidates everywhere. The party fielded governorship candidates in 27 of the 28 states that held governorship elections, with Ogun State being the notable exception. Its legislative coverage was also incomplete, LP fielded 78 Senate candidates and 225 House of Representatives candidates, leaving a huge parts of the National Assembly ballot without Labour candidates. Yet Peter Obi still secured more than six million presidential votes, Labour won eight Senate seats, 35 House seats and the Abia governorship. The logic that you must have all seats to win or mobilize will shock you. I say we have not learned anything from 2023. I was watching one of the planners for that party and even though he had opportunity to be in Senate, he was advised to work for the Presidency and focus on that only. Good luck to all of them. May the best man win in a free and fair election.

A lady must stay with her father until she is married.

Then the father walks with her to the marriage and hands her over to the husband so the husband can take care of her.

If you miss this then you'll have problems in marriage.

I just knew it had to be a girl. Not saying boys can't be jobless too but a good father will rather give his girl child daily 1k for fish than let the vultures give his daughter fish. Some daughters have fathers who are supporting their OS. What a useless man to see his daughter go to the dogs. She should be thanking her dad everyday because he doesn't owe her that money.
