nigeria needs a revolution.
for us to take this country back from our politicians and oppressors, we need a revolution, not a protest. a deep, systemic revolution that will last for years, maybe decades
war might happen and people will 💯 die—it should’ve started with #EndSARS

Dear Blessing,
I watched your video and listened as you explained how your journey from Masaka to Berger in the FCT now costs ₦500 instead of ₦1,500. That is ₦1,000 saved every trip. I know what that means when you have a family to feed, bills to pay and other responsibilities waiting at home.
I was equally pleased to hear from Ada and Abigail, who now pay ₦1,600 instead of ₦4,000 to travel from Enugu to Nsukka, saving ₦2,400 on each journey.
I also listened to Kabir, a taxi driver who explained that ₦10,000 worth of CNG allows him to make three more return trips than his colleagues using petrol. He says he has no intention of going back to petrol.
I have also received encouraging feedback from Borno, where some commuters are now paying as little as ₦50 per trip on CNG and electric vehicles.
Your various experiences show what our investment in CNG transportation is intended to achieve. Lower operating costs for drivers should translate into more affordable fares for passengers, leaving families with more money for their everyday needs.
When we removed the petrol subsidy, I knew the decision would bring difficulties for many households. With that decision came a responsibility to provide practical alternatives that would ease transportation costs.
Your stories show this is already happening, and I want more Nigerians to experience these benefits.
omo ehh 😭😭 i’ll tell him to leave o, but ₦9m with 2 kids and a wife is nothing, fr…. but the longterm benefit definitely outweighs whatever salary he earns now, but him go really suffer the first few years 😭
My guy is 38. He works in Lagos, earns ₦280K. Married with 2 children, his wife is not working.
For 3 years he has been applying for Canada. Finally his agent said his visa is almost ready. He has already saved ₦9M for proof of funds and ticket.
Last week, his former boss called him and offered him a manager role in his new company. Salary is ₦650K plus commission, plus official car. But condition is, he must commit for 3 years and forget this Japa talk for now.
Now he is confused.
His wife said: “Take the job, let's stay. ₦650K is good money, we can save and build here. Abroad is not easy, you will go and start washing plates.”
His friends said: “Are you mad? Take the Canada. Suffer for 2 years and your child will have a better future. That ₦650K today will be ₦150K in 2 years due to inflation.”
He told me, “Bros, I am tired. I want the best for my family. If I stay, what if the company sacks me after 1 year? If I travel, what if I struggle and regret leaving a good job?”
If you were him, would you STAY for the ₦650K job or JAPA with the ₦9M?
@Adesewaemmy guyy it was very good. i schooled at agidingbi then and the school was pretty much newly built. there were lots of side quests we did then… debates, quizzes, excursions….
bro, everyone (citizens) moved correctly. that’s why i laugh when people say it’s on the citizens. yes, we have a role to play, but it is entirely on the govt.
if we had that fashola continuity for 5 more tenures, lagos would fly. but it only lasted one tenure (8 years)
Tuchel on Ezri Konsa's injury: "Ezri felt discomfort when he came into camp and played with discomfort against Spain. He train again Czechia but came too soon and tried for Croatia.Unfortunately he got another hit on the quad. He got a light trauma, we decided to not let him play again through pain." Goes on to say it is just a knock
