@aedcelectricity@jumoladi@NERCNG@aedcelectricity@NERCNG Exactly what their staffs threatened yday in Transengineering estate, Dawaki. If we don't provide 30yards of wire per flat they'll disconnect d house, not because the saw any bypass or illegal connection. Simply abuse of power.
I am proud to have contributed to this and grateful that Mr President and FEC approved all our recommendations without any changes. We move! | NYSC Reforms: FG Replaces Military Leadership, Redesigns Uni https://t.co/j1VCnvckaD
You worry more about Governors abusing state police during elections that happen once every four years. You do not worry about whether the state of insecurity under centralised policing can be such that elections are not even held in some places in the first place.
You do not worry about school children being kidnapped every day in hundreds or kidnappers collecting ransoms through bank accounts that have BVN for which you must have an NIN, and proudly posting videos on social media.
You worry about how the states would fund state police. You do not worry that the Federal Government consumes 52% of all resources, and wastes it on frivolous spending and on irrelevant and ineffective agencies, while 36 states and 774 LGAs only get 48%.
You are not Ezemmuo. You don’t know things.
These are the arguments that delayed PIA for over 20 years.
These are the same arguments that delayed subsidy removal for over 20 years.
Same arguments that delayed the passage of the electricity act.
These arguments against state police are as valid to the extent of our bias.
No bill is perfect. No bill answers all the questions or takes care of all the problems.
A bill must at the very least show progress and for me that is the only thing that matters.
One of the most dangerous things happening on social media today is the deliberate spread of fake security alerts, recycled videos of bandits that were neutralized years ago, and fabricated kidnap stories designed to trigger panic and outrage.
Every day, people circulate old videos as if they happened yesterday. Others manufacture stories of kidnappings and attacks that never occurred. When security agencies, or people expose the falsehood, the same people quietly delete their posts and move on, with no consequences for the fear, confusion, and anxiety they have already created.
The unfortunate consequence is that citizens are gradually becoming desensitized. When genuine security threats emerge, many people now struggle to distinguish between real alerts and fabricated stories.
Government must begin to take the deliberate spread of false security information more seriously. Individuals who knowingly circulate fake security reports capable of causing panic should face appropriate sanctions under existing laws. Freedom of expression should not be confused with the freedom to spread falsehoods that endanger public order.
A society where everyone is constantly crying wolf will eventually ignore the real wolf when it appears. We cannot afford that. Security is too important to be sacrificed on the altar of clout, politics, engagement farming, or social media relevance.
In the war for Nigeria’s soul, bullets kill bodies, but poisoned narratives kill nations. If we let foreign sponsors and local merchants of chaos write our story, we will applaud our own funeral.
The @officialABAT administration must wield truth like a weapon: strategic, relentless, unapologetic communication, or watch its citizens rigged against their own tomorrow. Terrorists are empowered by yesterday’s politics and today’s silence. They will be defeated by today’s resolve and tomorrow’s clarity.
Fellow Nigerians, do not mistake despair for wisdom. Hopelessness is not patriotism, it is surrender. We have outlived empires, wars, and doomsday prophecies before. We will outlive this one too. Because Nigeria is not a failing country. It is an unfinished victory and we will finish it, together, awake, and unafraid. We will overcome. Not by chance but by choice. ⚖️
Dangote was the victim in this whole crisis. Initially, IPMAN, NUPENG, and others refused to buy products from the refinery, giving all sorts of excuses. Thank goodness for Dantata and MRS who stepped up.
The refinery even got so confused by the resistance that they sued NMDPRA for allowing imports to continue—a suit they later had to withdraw.
Now, Dangote Refinery has a new strategy, taking the competition directly to these unions. It's a disruptive model that shock them and take away their control, and now they are crying.
As they say, To first do, no dey pain, na the later dey pain pass.
After doing my own market research on Ram sales this year all i can say is - Nigerians are greedy and we are not sincere with ourselves, we just want to cheat each other, make excess profit over one another and in the end blame the Government!
Even if we bring an Angel to rule this country, thing might never change except we are sincere to ourselves!
@LukeShaw23 is back in training...lol why am I not surprised? Once he sees a threat to his position in the team, dude gets a miraculous recovery. I think he should be sold in the summer. Didn't even wait for deal to be confirmed @manutd#manutd @RubenAmorimx @INEOS
