Another day to speak against the mediocre level of service those in government give to us in Nigeria.
Education and health are in a terrible state but potential victims of such systems will rather give hundreds of reasons why those elected can't provide the basics but they can spend on extravagant projects that concern the political elites
In the words of a senior prophet, "One day the river will overflow, and there'll be nowhere for us to go. And we will run, run, wishing we had put out the fire!"
Another day to remind us all that we are nothing but pawns in the hands of these political elites, as Gov. Adeleke emerges as APC Presidential Campaign Council Coordinator in Osun State.
Rather than engage in struggles that benefit us as citizens, we blindly support politicians, even when their policies are destroying our future.
You see, as Adeleke no send una papa( his supporters that were when he was ruthlessly fighting for his own political interest by aligning with Tinubu, I expect that same level of ruthlessness from us as citizens when making decisions about governance.
They create tribal wars for us. "The Igbos are not to be trusted", yet a good number of Tinubu's political allies are Igbos. "Yorubas are not good people", yet political elites in the East still collaborate with Yoruba politicians. Na we, the mekunus, go dey talk about "tinted blood", tribal differences and who no like who, while these same politicians are busy engaging in inter-tribal marriages to solidify their political dynasties.
Continue to fight yourselves over the wars these people create for you. Continue to defend them even when their decisions hurt you. Continue to allow party sentiments to blind you to your own interests.
So gbo!
In as much as I do not support VDM’s methods concerning Apostle Arome’s statement, I wish the speed with which Nigerian pastors have found their voices to talk down on him was maintained when the issue of Christian genocide was being discussed.
A good number of these pastors finding their voices now were silent then.
Using sensitive issues like healthcare to play politics will never make sense to me. Make omo mekunu dey defend those who have access to premium Healthcare abroad is something that also baffles me. We will definitely overcome these enablers of bad governance.

“If you vote for any other candidate apart from AMBO, you cannot go home from here in free will …..
I have put people in charge of here, I DARE you to vote against AMBO….”

@PoliceNG_CRU this APC chieftain must be picked up for voter intimidation. She is an APC Chieftain called Funmi Haastrup. And this is ward 4 unit 4&5 in Ikire, Irewole LG.
I saw this video and my mind came to this tweet. This indirect survey proves your tweet right. We have a value / reality assessment problem in this generation. A good number of men will see "peace of mind" but would rather choose Delilah. Also, a good number of ladies will see a serious man but na that flashy playboy be dem spec.
On the brighter side; their "e gbenu si mic" moments somewhat entertain us online.
Nigerian men complain about girls like this, yet they are constantly in their dm’s because they consider girls like this (expensive wig wearing, club lifestyle living, etc) as being the high class girls they can show off to their guys.
A Nigerian man will pick her over a hardworking 9-5 lady who doesn’t wear wigs or expect him to fund trips to 20 countries a month, because she is packaged as they like.
You people should die this your faux rage. We see all the thirsty comments you people drop on her posts on Snapchat and TT.
Nigerian men love their baddies. Don’t be deceived.
It bothers me when I see a good number of African children, especially Nigerians in Canada unable to communicate in their mother tongue. What is further concerning is the belief that it's some sort of flex. While it's important to assimilate or be absorbed into the Canadian or any other culture, losing oneself shouldn't be an indirect correlate to the former.
We might want to adopt Kofi Awoonor's stance in his poem, "The Anvil and the Hammer", regarding building an identity that reflects both the canadian and African culture; in this context.
To end my "rant", it might interest you to know that studies like, "The Ife Six Year Project" and other mother tongue related studies have shown that children's learning of their mother tongue alongside any form of L2 helps them academically.
Why limit them?
Thank you for reading my rant
Yours-in-complaint,

According to some dimwits, Buhari is the best thing after Agege bread
But look at those who are working for him
1. Former Accountant General Ahmed Idris was charged with diverting ₦109.5 billion.
2. Former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman has been convicted over the criminal diversion of ₦33.8 billion.
3. Former Attorney General Abubakar Malami has forfeited 48 properties worth ₦212 billion.
4. Malami is also facing a 16-count charge of conspiracy and money laundering involving an alleged ₦8.7 billion, alongside his wife and one of his sons.
5. Just imagine, among the assets forfeited by Malami was a mosque in Kebbi State built with proceeds of illicit wealth. He doesn't have the fear of Almighty Allah.
6. Former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele is facing multiple criminal prosecutions over diversion of ₦154.39 billion.
7. Emefiele has also forfeited 753 housing units to the Federal Government.
Bulaba is yet to finish, we are already seeing alot of Gbajas
The reaction of the Nigerian Police to Mary Habila's death is a testamemt to the fact that the Nigerian Police is basically a tool made for the Nigerian political class.
Cats are just perfect with their size. Imagine cats with their attitude, pride and level of mischief, coming in a big "container", Thanos for dey learn work 🤣.
In another news, I have lost my "Africaness", I am beginning to love those little "terrorists"
It's good news that the Oyo students have been released. I hope we will take proactive steps to prevent a recurrence of such incidents. Kudos to everyone whose efforts made their release possible. I wish the students and their families healing quick recovery and peace.
These are the issues we should be talking about; how government and its agencies sabotage the growth of important sectors, including education and health. We would rather unfortunately channel our energies on tribal wars. Our politicians are very lucky to have us.
Whatever makes you sleep well at night. Justify your abnormalities with the lies of cause and effects; which all bigots across all tribes excuse themselves with.
Yourbas started it...... Igbos started it..... Hausas started it.....
You bigots have same playbook, you are all reacting and fighting back.
We will call you guys for what you are; despicable lots who are bringing kids to their rubbish wars.
You are retarded. No one in a society should ever be permitted to erect their own morality and value system because it’s their own money or it’s their private property.
We are not an asocial specie. People take cues from the actions of others and humans by nature default to escalating cycle of retaliatory behaviors. It’s like freedom of speech, you must be responsible with your speech even though its your mouth
It’s shocking to me that anyone with a double digit IQ would accuse me of bigotry while I was pointing one out. That goes to show that most of you were not really educated for that matter, never seen the level of imbeciles on the scale it is in this country.
“It’s my money, I can do whatever I want” what about morality, integrity and honesty, what about truthfulness and sincerity?
The same way people turned Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka works to tribalism tools. Instead of celebrating them as literary icons, their works are being pitched against each other to corroborate their crazy, " Yoruba is better than igbo" or "Igbo is better than Yoruba". Some things should be off you guys limit
For everyone, irrespective of tribe, using kids and their education for tribal wars, God will judge you all. I mean, there should be a line for you guys m@dness!

It is painful when people who ought to know better are deliberately bent on keeping the masses in poverty and retrogression. You are educated up to Masters degree and live in developed society, you should know and do better. Your education and exposure is supposed to reflect in your thought process.
If you live abroad, it means you've been exposed to better. You know what a working system looks like. You know that quality education should be made compulsory and free to kids. You know that minimum wage should should get you your basic needs - including rent, clothing and feeding. You cannot be thousands of miles across the ocean pushing for policies that drives us deeper in poverty. Are you mad?
I've talked a lot about my life experiences and I'll restate. I went to secondary school with the privileged, and that exposure made me see what a good life was and made me want better for kids that grew up in the environment I grew up in, and for all disprivileged kids in the country. I went to UNIBEN and saw another side to life and realized comparatively that many Nigerian kids have their childhood and youth stolen from them through deliberate systemic poverty. It is not right! Having lived abroad, I lived the experience of a working system and wept for an entire generation of Nigerian youth that has been robbed of dignity of decent living. There is nothing special about the West. If they can do it, we can do it too. The Asians have done it. Other African countries have left us behind. The Nigerian people have to enjoy a decent life and a quality standard of living without having to leave home. We all deserve a better life at home.
As bad as South Africans are, they are evil to foreigners. You Nigerians are evil to your own people. How do you explain that you sit abroad supporting and promoting policies at home that keeps people in abject poverty and sink them further into a hole their generation will not be able to recover from. You are raising your kids to compete globally and take their seat at the tables of this world where countries you reside in are giving free education, preparing their kids for the world of tomorrow in Tech and AI, empowering their kids in STEM, giving millions of dollars in grabt for innovations. You want other people's kids to use your lunch money to start frying akara in 2026. Is that the plan you have for your own kids? The god you serve and the one you don't serve, will strike you mad.
If you are at home supporting this madness, you are not exempted because the whole point of your education is to know how to think. So fvcking think! Dem use poverty swear for you?

One of the most profound statements that @DeleFarotimi has made was applauding Tinubu for exposing many people who we thought had integrity.
I dislike inconsistent people so much.

Layi is even a stretch (because of his legal background)
Gilmore and Dezny do not produce brain damaging content. You watch and you sometimes even learn new things about society or social trends at the time.
Content is not the problem nor comedic content. It is the absence of intelligence therein (like you rightly captured).

We are discussing the promotion of intellectual deficiency via intellectually deficient influencers as a recipe for national stagnation
I feel we the people are the cause too. One of them has 12m followers on TikTok. It’s not animals that are following. It’s you and I following that person and promoting the brain decadence of a nation.
