I found this interesting thread I wrote in 2023. What is even more interesting is that 3years later I still agree with everything. If this appears on your feed, read through and let me know your thoughts. Do you agree or disagree, and to what extent?

I am sharing my response to the above highly discussed question, which was a required written class discussion in my ongoing MBA program.
A #Thread...
@TheNorfolkLion "Saner climes" ...Humans are fundamentally the same world over. Some societies just built-in and enforced punishment for bad behavior better than others.
@TheRealCEOAmber@PeterObi You've witnessed the leaders who were tough
Example
Buhari
Tinubu
And you've witnessed the leaders who were soft, emphatic and kind
Example
Yaradua
Goodluck Jonathan
I hope you know the difference.
@realkenokonkwo Some valid points in your letter but overall wrong approach.
You can't expect a leader to stamp out rascality with rascality. You will be perpetuating a vicious cycle.
Anybody talking about 2027, restrategizing, electoral reforms, blah blah blah, is a BIG FOOL.
Let me take you down memory lane since you all have amnesia:
1. 2019 - Atiku and Obi won the elections, but @inecnigeria led by the fraudulent Yakubu Mahmood did otherwise. The criminal @NGCourtofAppeal and @SupremeCourtNg affirmed the abysmal failure @MBuhari.
2. 2023 - Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed won the elections but the criminals mentioned in 1 above did otherwise. This time, they put a disgusting criminal in Aso Rock.
3. Gubernatorial elections of Enugu, Lagos, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano, etc, are all examples of disastrous elections.
4. Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo elections held as recent as this November and we all saw what happened.
With all these, you still convince yourselves that the demons of today will play fair in 2027. You are a BIG FOOL. Shame on you this time, not on the vultures in power.
This is ridiculous. The nepotism shown in this video is disgusting!
We have a long way to go as a people.
There is hope, and that hope is the assurance that it won't continue forever. The people will rise someday.
Excerpts of Liberia's π±π· President George Weah's Concession Speech.
#LiberiaDecides
I stand before you tonight with a heavy heart, but with the utmost respect for the democratic process that has defined our nation.
The results announced tonight, though not final, indicate that Ambassador Joseph N. Boakai is in a lead that is insurmountable.
A few moments ago, I spoke with President-elect Joseph N. Boakai to congratulate him on his victory and to offer my sincere commitment to working with him for the betterment of our beloved Liberiaπ±π·.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President-elect Boakai, his supporters, and his campaign team. May his presidency be marked by success for all Liberians, and may our nation prosper under his leadership.
Tonight, as we acknowledge the results, let us also recognize that the true winners of these elections are the people of Liberiaπ±π·. Through your peaceful and orderly exercise of your constitutional right to vote, you have once again demonstrated your commitment to the democratic principles that bind us together as a nation.
Under my leadership, these elections were organized with a promise to the Liberian people β a promise of fairness, transparency, and credibility. I am proud to say that, for the most part, we have fulfilled that promise. The Liberian people have spoken, and their choice will be honored and obeyed.
I would like to congratulate the National Elections Commission for a job well done.
However, the closeness of the results reveals a deep division within our country. As we transition to the new Boakai administration, we must be vigilant to the dangers of division and work together to find common ground. Now, more than ever, unity is paramount for the love of Mama Liberia.
To the members of the Mighty Coalition for Democratic Change, I understand that this is not the outcome we desired.
I urge you to follow my example and accept the results of the elections.
Tonight, the Coalition for Democratic Change has lost the election, but Liberiaπ±π· has won. This is a time for graciousness in defeat, a time to place our country above party, and patriotism above personal interest. I remain your President until the handover of power, and I will continue to work for the good of Liberia.
Let us heal the divisions caused by the campaign and come together as One Nation and One United People.
~ George Manneh Weah, @GeorgeWeahOff, President of Liberiaπ±π·.
You ask why i don't pity those market women singing the freedom song in the land of captivity
I sacrificed 5 months of my life (alongside my team members), combing the entire southwest warning them about the calamity BAT represents
