“The issue of Terrorists celebrating sallah shouldn’t bother Nigerians, we are winning the war against terrorism” - General Abubakar Rabe in 2015.
Only to end up kidnapped & killed by terrorists 11 years later.
I hope Christopher Musa is watching.
Omo! Do you people know how insane it is for terrorists to kidnap a retired general, kill him and then return his body in a handover ceremony where they took pictures knowing they'd leave unchallenged?
Do you people know what kind of trouble we are in?
The thing with Nigerians is that even if everyone collectively agrees not to buy or pay for it. Somebody will still do it and tell everyone else to get their money up that it’s because they are broke that’s why they are complaining.
Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.
Yesterday, bandits killed 17 farmers in Nigeria, and it barely made the news. 17 lives gone in a day, people who worked to feed others.
Farmers are targets, farmlands unsafe, food production under attack.
At this rate, a food crisis or even famine is not far.
An entire state can get wiped out in one night and Nigerians will go to work the next day. We’re being exposed to an insane level of violence and we’re scrolling away
This right here is the problem of Nigerians.
We adapt to anything at blistering speeds.
Gas is expensive, ditch it and start using charcoal.
Sachet water is expensive, ditch it and start drinking well.
They are kidnapping in the rural areas, ditch it and move to urban arrears.
Fuel is too expensive, pack car at home and take public transport.
Foreign rice is too expensive, ditch it and buy cheap local and stony ones instead.
They kidnap and kill one child, hold the remaining ones tight and keep praying.
We don't have a limit to our ability to suffer.
We are the most useless and gullible citizens on the planet.
