I haven't argued with an APC supporter for over a year tho. I genuinely look at them as inferior subspecies of humans. Your house pet is mentally above these creatures. 🤷♂️
Valid oo, invalid oo, I personally do not accept any Peter Obi criticism, certainly not from Nigerian politicians and their rats. I run a strict program.
Won't be easy but NOT IMPOSSIBLE!
Huge Political will and making Power a priority - projects like Coastal Road should be secondary.
We don't lack the how, but lack the will.
I cannot stress this enough; In a (largely) binary choice such as the current elections have pitched before us, we don't have the luxury of sitting on the fence. We're either for or against. So if you're criticising Obi, you're implicitly in favour of BAT. Simple and short. If you think both are bad, the criticism of either is pointless in an election period; come back after the elections and work to put better people on the ballot.
For me, I'm firmly in support of Obi because he represents a better option than BAT. He's not perfect; I don't need him to be! He just needs to be better than the alternative and that he clearly is.
For one, Mr Obi has addressed the country more often than an actual sitting president who's presiding over a country in serious security and economic crisis. So I don't care for the content of Obi's media appearances; at least I dey see am steady. Whereas I no dey see the person wey suppose be my president.
The alternatives set the standard.
I have done my small share of travel within Africa to form a sizable sample size.
It may sound hard to believe and hard to see but I think Nigerians are the most opened to other African foreigners which sounds like a paradox coz we also have a tribalism problem.
That movie you people are glossing over, the one that has 90% South Africans in it - I'm not watching it.
I'm definitely inconsequential but that's my own silent protest.
I would rather spend that time watching Okonta's stinkerfest at Kebab league.
Learn to hold a grudge.
You baboons are in the qts talking about “marry a rich partner” or “don’t give birth if you’re not financially ready,” when the real blame should be on the useless government that has failed to provide basic, humane healthcare.
@UseLemfi I'm just tired of the app. I want a web based platform that I can use and close at will. Since Lemfi can't do that, no wahala. I'm not your target audience.
From time to time, I remember a person on here that I used to consider my very good friend, who blocked me on everything and hasn’t spoken to me in over a decade, because we got into an argument on Tumblr, in which I had said that Nigeria had an Islamic terrorism problem, and she had responded that Boko Haram were not Muslims, and we went back and forth about this, and I’ll never forget what she said.
She said if they are Muslims then I think all Muslims are terrorists and I should tell her where to buy her own gun too since I think she’s a terrorist.
(I had never personalised the argument to her, my whole side was entirely about Boko Haram)
Then she blocked me everywhere and we didn’t speak for five years.
I attempted to reconcile after that and her new excuse was that she saw me being transphobic (this person is a bisexual Muslim quasi-lesbian)
So we have not spoken for over a decade despite me at the time having cared deeply about our friendship but I think about her from time to time.
I also discovered around the same time then that a few mutual friends we had had blocked me possibly at her behest, for the same reason (Islamophobia and transphobia)
I wonder how many other people over the years have lost relationships that seemed healthy over allegiances to ideological groups that eventually turned out to be just as harmful as the person cut off said they were.
Now that Islamic terrorism in Nigeria has reached a crescendo, and Muslim terrorists openly kidnap hundreds of people daily, slaughter whole towns openly for not converting to Islam, and ✌🏾repentant terrorists✌🏾swear on the Quran that they have changed, I wonder whether she has ever stopped to think about how she attempted to gaslight me that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and had the audacity to find me the wrongdoer in our friendship for refusing to be gaslit.
I wonder if she ever considers how her role as an apologist multiplied across billions of regular Muslims or even say millions of ✌🏾liberal Muslims✌🏾like her, facilitates and excuses the terrorism we are now suffering in Nigeria, and how in the same vein her apologia for transgenderism facilitates the suffering that women who are harmed by it go through.
But I don’t think she has or ever will.
People rarely admit when they were wrong or treated others unfairly.
I don’t think she will ever apologise to me, nor do I expect her to.
I just wonder whether as she feels progressively more unsafe in Nigeria, and all the pro-trans laws in the west are rapidly being reversed as evidence of serious harm keeps coming to light, if she ever realises this is the thing she was in denial about.
And I also wonder how many other people something similar has happened to.
There are no bandits in Nigeria.
The belittling of the murder and atrocities these people commit by calling them bandits, is a media propaganda by their sponsors in government to diminish the level of horror of what these criminals do to innocent Nigerians.
People who massacre citizens, kidnap schoolchildren, attack military formations, burn communities, and hold entire regions hostage are not bandits.
These are terrorists
The media must stop sanitising their crimes with softer language. Calling terrorists “bandits” trivializes murder, kidnapping, rape, arson, and the destruction of lives.
Call them what they are
They are terrorists.
Anything less is a disservice to their victims and a crime to the pain they inflict on every Nigerian.
1. Bakkassi boys where not in existence under Obi era, they exited only b/w 1999 to 2003. 🤦🏽
2. The demolitions of buildings of criminals was actually signed, passed & carried out by Obi himself not Obiano. 🤦🏾♂️
If Oshiomole does not know “basic history”, how is he a Senator?
Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This
I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.
The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.
But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.
When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.
Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.
I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.
A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.
The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
If Peter Obi announces his retirement from politics today. In 2 weeks max unemployment increases by 3% at least. That's the entire populace being paid to support BAT online and offline. They all become useless. Peter Obi is the only reason for BAT's crazy election budget.🤷♂️
