You are a big part of the problem. Because tell me how God is supposed help us bring about a positive change democratically? God is not a cheat!

You have faith, where are your works!

The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.

Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.

Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.

Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.

This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?

At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.

It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.

The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.

The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

Young Nigerians - Take back your country!

A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

You ppl should keep lying to yourself that religious leaders do not control their members.

A whole generation of Deeperlifers didn't watch TV for years because their G.O said so.

Witnesses are dying every other day because their doctrine do not allow blood transfusion. LOL

It was said they were about to pick up a Ransom money

[TERRORIST SURVIVOR 💪🏽 @GbolahanOlanyi0]

As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.

Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.

Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.

Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.

One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.

This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.

Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽

We are really in the end times because what manner of wickedness is this?! His wife just gave birth. Her body is still healing for crying out loud

[Cjay🌎 @AnyanwuMalachy]

My guy in the UK 🇬🇧 is frustrated.

He just gave me a long call now.

His wife gave birth 5 months ago and hasn’t returned to work, saying she’s still healing.

Oya nau, while at home, go for remote jobs to support the family she ignores that option.

Rather she focuses on "content creation" on TikTok that isn’t paying, while he carries all the bills alone, plus a ₦350k monthly allowance for his mother-in-law.

Now this same mother-in-law is threatening him for “pressuring” her daughter to work, while she's still nursing a baby.

She even declines the suggestion of GP appointments to really confirm her health status. Saying she just needs some time.

He's so confused at the moment because he sees other women that gave birth in the same UK, and they resume work after 3-6weeks while arranging a nanny to take over.

All the house bills are currently on him, and his wife isn't making life any easy because he doesn't even know when she tends to get back to normal work.

All she keeps telling him is "give me more time to heal"...

[Matt🍫 @jbmillenial]

Guys please I want everybody to know that it is not a normal occurrence for kidnappers to stroll into schools, kidnap students and teachers and behead the teacher and the leadership of the country is quiet about it, trust me it’s not a normal thing politics aside!

[Hauwa 🌟🌬 @Hauwa_L]

You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.

Fun fact: Sarafina's character was actually based on Winnie Madikizela Mandela. Sarafina isn't about the 76 uprising, but the '85 state of emergency. The filmmakers knew they wouldn't get away with it if they made Sarafina an adult. So they made her a radical high school who could chant "free mandela", get arrested, tortured and still make it out alive...thats because THAT was Winnie's REALITY.

Infact Sarafina was brainstormed in mam'Winnie's kitchen.

Nigeria issued Nigerian passports to South Africans to keep them safe from the Apartheid authorities.

Nigerians imposed a tax on ourselves to donate money to South Africa's anti-apartheid fight.

Nigeria took on other countries to get support for South Africa.

Fuck you people.

Big change for Oscars: International movies can now be submitted if they win a major film festival, even if their home country doesn’t submit. Will prevent great films from being snubbed for political reasons and make the Intl category even more competitive.

Nigerians are missing out so much on other Nigerians because of tribalism

There’s no way all the people you need or would enjoy happen to have been born in your tribe

There are amazing people you’re never going to connect with if you keep doing tribalism

It’s a cult!

Wake up!
