For one full year we argued on this street that there is no Christian genocide in Northern Nigeria.
Within a single day, a young man released a video of paramilitary-style training where young Muslims were being groomed to chant “Mass Genocide” against Christians in the Southeast.
That same week, Sheikh Yahaya Ibrahim Masussuka, one of the few scholars who consistently preached against insurgency, was assassinated.
Months earlier, Ibrahim Danshagamu publicly begged the Kano government to protect him after members of the Izala movement allegedly threatened his life. That same week, he was killed in his bedroom.
Today, some elders of the Izala movement stand with a young man being trained to hate his fellow human beings. On this same street, members of the same movement celebrated the assassination of Sheikh Masussuka.
If the Federal Government does not immediately proscribe the Izala movement, arrest clerics promoting extremism in Northern Nigeria, and release Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasir Kabara to continue deradicalisation work, this country is heading for disaster.
We will one day wake up to a fully formed Al-Qaeda-style network in Nigeria. At that point, even Somalia will look safer than Northern Nigeria.

I saw a skit yesterday that really bothered me. @_thetrenchboy made a “skit” where he played the role of an elder brother to a young boy bringing home friends from JAMB lessons (girls). Attracted to them, he sent his brother away, played sexually explicit Spartacus scenes in front of the girls, and acted creepy while watching with them.
When the younger brother returned and confronted him, he invented a “game” to lure one girl into the bathroom to sexually exploit her.
People watched, laughed, liked the video, and saw nothing wrong.
Do we not understand that exposing people to sexually explicit content without consent can be sexual harassment? That deliberately luring a girl into a bathroom under false pretences for a sexual encounter is neither harmless nor funny?
He had them wear revealing clothes to justify it in his degenerate skit, but most girls writing JAMB are under 18, minors.
Why are we comfortable turning the sexual harassment and potential exploitation of young girls into comedy?
This is how rape culture and pedophilia thrive. We package predatory behaviour as entertainment, laugh, reward it with engagement, and call it harmless fun because it’s “just a skit.”
Tomorrow, when Nigerian men are convicted abroad for rape and child sexual abuse, everyone expresses shock. But what attitudes are we cultivating when we treat content depicting the sexual harassment of potentially underage girls as comedy?

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"
Probably this Barbie fan animation that I made last year.
