Sometimes people aren't the problem, YOU are. Everything can't be on social media. The internet is full of bored, bitter, unwell people looking for someone to react to. Stop handing them your life to feed on.
Keep some things private.
If you're a millennial (born 1981 to 1996), it's about time you begin to choose or think about what's going to define your mid life crisis.
Here are your options:
GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
At the end of the day, celebrities are products of the society they come from. Unfortunately, most Nigerians aren't groomed to be solution-oriented, from university onward. That's why we have very few research labs and still rely heavily on innovation from abroad, except for a few outliers.
So yes, we need more problem-solving founders, but we also need to build a culture that encourages problem-solving.
Would be nice to see celeb founders in the Nigerian fashion industry actually solve problems we have.
In the west, you hear of celeb founders launching lipstick that doesn't stain, inclusive makeup, bras for cancer survivors, etc
Our celebs should please solve Nigerian fashion problems. Our markets are filled with the same clothes. Everyone is selling the same thing
Let's start from there. We need stylish tops, jeans for women who bloat because of endometriosis or PCOS, etc
