Today I learnt that If a wealthy man’s son commits a crime in Nigeria and gets sentenced to prison, they’ll raid poor neighborhoods, pick up an innocent boy, and swap him in.
The rich kid goes home & the poor kid serves the sentence. This is why most of those raids happen.
Girls who don’t ask for much are genuinely the ones that deserve everything and more.
The formula is simple:
Become a successful man, marry a low maintenance woman and give her everything she’s too shy to have ever asked for.
Bro to bro:
PLEASE, get comfortable with going to events, movies, restaurants, coffee shops, museums by yourself so you don't miss out on life waiting on people.
Company is a bonus, not a requirement.
These things are getting documented whether you like it or not, especially in the era of AI summary and notes. As an Ijebu person, if you choose to ignore the attacks, and you don’t push back, it would be documented that your people are wicked people for not suspending everything because of a tragic case of kidnapping in a neighboring state, and you’ll be reminded in the future when they prompt AI to give responses along that line.
You can see that the attack is coordinated to bring the festival to disrepute. As they have done every year since it became Nigeria’s most glamorous festival.
I am not from Ijebu, it doesn’t affect me. But you’ll be really naive to not see what is going on.
