Whatever the Americans do today, I hope they remember:

“That these dead shall not have died in vain– that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”

All the bigots threatening Ndigbo up and down must be reminded that when it starts, it will be them and Ndigbo. The civil war was not between the East and one particular ethnic group.

Godswill Akpabio has been definitively confirmed to be suffering from foot-in-mouth disease.

My people say that the problem is not in stealing the village drum but in finding a soundproof hideout to enjoy the rumba in peace

On the 25th of February 2023, Yakubu declared: Let us proclaim a government in our own image and likeness.

Nigerians are not only divided along ethnic and religious lines, they are also divided along the hustlers and victims line. Hustlers are mostly anti-protests. Victims on the other hand are usually anti-establishment and anti-peer.

I am often forced to wonder about that which could matter more than legacies.

A leader should live among the people to feel and understand them. The first paradox of Nigerian leadership is the location of the state house in a fortress, beyond the reality of the people.

Democratically elected offices are duty-bound to take instruction from the people just like all employees are duty-bound to take instruction from their employers.

We can not address vocal and legitimate demands with silence. The essence of responsibility is not in the inherent benefits but in the ability to provide shade, water, and direction for the weary.

[Pontifex Popularem @EmekaMakata]

Demonstrate if we must but the exercise of our rights through the destruction of the rights of others is self-indicting

Nigerian followers are like gladiators forced to amuse their leaders by fighting themselves to death in fits of spectacles when it should be the other way around.

People who don't connect their political choices with their future often end up back in their past.

It is difficult to watch people who threw you into a hole acting like you all fell together.

Sadly, the engine of our world is never powered by the fuel of truth and good faith.

The wisdom and steel of the Founding Fathers of the USA heralded a free world. The fickleness of their offspring will lead us all back into chains.

Democracy is standing at the precipice and tyranny is lurking right behind. The world has ended as we knew it.

@VanJones68 can save the democratic party & @POTUS from his copious and damaging display of emotions. It's crazy the way Democrats are at the forefront of demanding President Biden's withdrawal because of one bad debate when the GOP is staunchly behind Trump in spite

[Pontifex Popularem @EmekaMakata]

I laugh each time people describe @CNN as being supportive of liberals. Just like @HillaryClinton , @CNN has been most vocal about @POTUS bad debate night

The problem has never been about sacrifices. It is about smoke rising up to the holy heavens.
