🇻🇦✝️CATHOLICISME : VISITE DU PAPE EN 🇫🇷FRANCE
Une chorale de mamans 🇨🇩congolaises chantant des cantiques en hommage à la Vierge Marie, aperçus parmi le public.
I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age.
Their criteria is always;
> below 27
> NYSC certificate
>2.1
> atleasg 1yr experience
But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country.
A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line.
He doesn't have a first class.
He didn't go to any university.
He's not young.
But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent.
Make it make sense
We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation.
Judicious in Micro economics but dastardly stupid in macroeconomic conditions.
@itzbasito It is important to note that this greatness probably won't have been possible if Chocboiz didn't exist.
Big ups to jiggy he deserves all the greatness he's getting 4real
White kids get married at 22, in the parents backyard, pool their finances together, get a townhouse, start a family, by 35 they are set for life.
You earn R40k, i earn R40k but because “indoda must” my R40k must do all the heavy lifting, then we wonder why there’s no progress.
Guys you realize this is a good thing, right? They will Not eradicate the children with down syndrome. The gonna remove the syndrome from the Children. The Children will still be born but healthy. Down Syndrome is so much more than only a cute personality pls inform yourself
This community transformer racket has to stop completely. It is daylight robbery disguised as community self-help, and the regulatory double standard is sickening.
Look at how the power sector works in Nigeria:
When a community transformer blows up, the DisCo goes deaf. You write letters, make calls, and nothing happens. Six months down the line, residents are suffocating in darkness, small businesses are dying, and fuel prices are draining everybody's pockets.
Out of sheer desperation, landlords gather, task every household 50k, 100k, or more, and scrape together 5 to 8 million Naira to buy a brand new transformer, buy heavy copper cables, and pay for poles.
The moment that equipment is energized, the DisCo claims it as company property. They add it to their network balance sheet, and within two weeks, they start distributing Band A and Band B bills. If you do not pay, they disconnect you with the ladder leaning on the very pole you bought with your own sweat.
How can a private, for-profit utility company take free capital equipment from struggling citizens, pay zero interest, give zero equity, and then charge those same citizens full price to use it?
If NERC mandated that customers who pay upfront for meters under the MAP scheme must be refunded their money over time through energy credits, why does the exact same logic not apply to transformers?
A meter costs 100k to 150k and you refund it via monthly energy units.
A transformer costs 6 to 10 million Naira funded by an entire street, and you pretend it was a charitable donation to a private entity?
This injustice has to end.
If a community is forced to step in and buy infrastructure because a DisCo failed its obligations, NERC should make automatic amortization mandatory:
Every single household on that street that contributed to buying that transformer should have their meter credited with monthly energy units until the full cost of the asset, cables, and installation logistics is completely paid back.
You cannot let private DisCos enrich their asset portfolios with crowd-funded community blood and then charge those same people premium tariffs for power. If DisCos want to own the asset, they must refund the people who paid for it.
We put nine women in charge of a jury for two weeks and they tried to let a mom get away with strangling her kids. Then they launched a vicious smear campaign against the one black man who stood in their way.
So I’m confident Obama is full of shit here.
Dear Nigerian Government,
When our children were abducted in Oyo, we saw urgency.
You deployed 1,000 forest guards. You provided updates. You showed concern. You pursued the kidnappers and eventually brought the children home.
We applauded you because we believed that response reflected the value you place on every Nigerian life.
So why has the response to the #BornoSchoolChildren been so different?
Their parents have protested repeatedly. They have pleaded for their children. Yet months later, we are still waiting for the same urgency, the same visible effort and the same determination we witnessed in Oyo.
No Nigerian is more Nigerian than another Nigerian!
It is already a failure that these children were abducted. It would be another failure to allow their parents to keep pleading while their children remain in captivity.
Give Borno the same urgency you gave Oyo and #BringBornochildrenHome.
I saw a Nigerian registered nurse talking about how her husband sponsored her Master’s in Nursing in the UK.
For two years, this man was converting naira to pounds without complaining. He even travelled from Nigeria to the UK to help his wife take care of the kids while she was on clinical placement.
Today, she’s a registered nurse and proudly giving her husband his flowers.
Omo many marriages are actually thriving. Na the bad ones dey get the most PR.
A pregnant woman on death row can't be executed until her baby is born because the law recognizes her preborn child is innocent.
So why is abortion legal?
TAKE NOTE OF THR FOLLOWING JUST IN CASE!!!!!!
When you want you to write a statement at the POLICE station or EFCC or law enforcement office;
1. Don't leave blank spaces, cross a line over any blank space left once you are done.
2. Remember to put full stop once you are done writing and sign at the front of that full stop.
3. If you are forced to write a statement against yourself.
DON'T WORRY, at the signature part.
Just add UD as part of your signature (meaning under Duress)
4. It is not a WAEC answer sheet where you must fill up all the page, write what you know only and cross line on the space remaining.
5. Don't agree to write a statement when your lawyer or someone you trust is not there.
If they force you to write, remember (number 3 point.)
6. Avoid answering unnecessary questions when your lawyer is not there.
You have the right to remain silent, cos anything you say can be used against you in court
7. If POLICE send you invitation during weekend, try tell dem say you go show face on Monday as you are out of town for now, cos they will probably detain you till Monday before they can transfer you to court if the matter is the one the type they need to transfer to court
8. Don't forget to share this p0st
9. Sign on every page of the paper, not just the final page
10. If there is a mistake when writing, cross it out cleanly, write the correction, and place your initials directly beside the alteration.
Happy taco Tuesday 🎉
A drunk cop opened fire at a checkpoint in 2011.
The bullet ripped through my car. Then through my right hand.
That night ended my career as an animator. It cracked my marriage. It left a wound in my mind that still hasn’t closed.
The twist? I sued the Nigeria Police. I won in 2015. The judge ordered them to pay my medical bills.
Ten years later: zero naira.
I live with permanent disability. No help. No justice. Yet, they are shouting “No To Impunity”

Anger has spilled onto the streets of Niger State, Nigeria, after 37 miners died in security forces' custody. Police responded with force, and at least two people have been killed in clashes, with several others injured.
