So here goes nothing š¤·
Women of beauty
Women of strength
Bold & brown you've held through times
Carrying generations on your backs with the strength of an Iroko tree
Protecting them with the very lives the world assaults
Women united & firmly bonded like the wrappers ..1/2
Let me deep somethings for Nigerians, maybe it would spark a bit of anger.
A 9-5 pays PAYE (Pay as you earn) to the respective states yeah?
So, if Iām earning 300k as net salary, then my gross would be 370k issh.
Would roughly pay 41k as PAYE.
Now whatās that 41k supposed to cover?
The basic amenities like - water running to your house, electricity, good road network, wastage system, gas, security etc. yeah?
Now, that my 41k is supposed to be part of other peopleās 41k, 3k, 100k and even 1m PAYE so we can get common amenities. Where we have to then pay maybe a subsidized amount to maintain these things from my 300k
So, in essence, I will pay 41k to have those amenities and maybe another 30k from my 300k to have access to those services on a monthly.
Now, here lies the problem- We provide water light and security for ourselves, yet we pay government taxes to provide same.
I have paid the 41k to government, and I am going out there to provide another 50-60k to get same thing I have paid before to government. Isnāt that like double taxation?
Letās start from waste disposal- they donāt come, so you call Beruwa.
Water - no government water, so you build boreholes, buy pumping machines and buy tanks.
Gas - Government of Nigeria doesnāt even know that exists
Electricity- no stable light, so you have to buy generator or solar to sustain. Keep buying fuel etc or doing maintenance on solar.
Now if any of you deep it, that money you are using for all these things are actually supposed to be your savings for the future.
That 3m for solar, thatās money that if invested would help you on the future. Or calculate the fuel money you buy every 3days or the money you pay for electricity to pump water. Compound that money and you should actually have savings.
And yet, we donāt even hold our government accountable anymore
So sad.
So, you earn 300k, you paid tax of 41k already for basic things, you still end of paying another 50-60k to get those basic things by yourself.
You havenāt even considered food or travels or transportation or shopping or sending money to family. But you are already short by 60k
Well, it is well
Schrƶdinger Africans.
Africans when they want to apply for Western scholarships, IMF loans, or when they want to play AFCON, then Arabs/Middle Eastern every other time.
Even Morocco once applied to be part of the EU and got rejected.
This guy is a billionaire. A co-founder of Paystack, one of the largest fintech companies in Africa.
But heās obviously sick. Heās a deeply troubled person. His mind is f**ked up.
But the tweets below are not the most dangerous thing in all of these.

We cannot find Niyi and it doesnāt make any sense.
I went to school with Niyi. His older sister is also my friend and client.
Niyi went missing on his way to his farm in Orita Araromi, Sokoto Road, Atan Ota, Ogun State.
He was last seen on 25/05/25 wearing brown shorts and a white T-shirt, and was heard speaking with a farm worker named Ibrahim. His car was found near the farm, unlocked, with the key broken in the ignition.
If you have any information or have seen him, please call:
07062387565 or 08135139252
Please share. Help us bring him home. Thank you.
Did you guys see the founder on LinkedIn that said she put out a job ad in Nigeria, received over 5,000 applications, and most were lies?
I canāt stand liars like this. How can you claim to have received 5k applications AND MOST WERE LIES????
How???????????
@ChiomaChuka I remember this girl I was talking to a few years ago. She buzzed me all scared & said she was in an accident. Me & Rouk One took off. When we landed, it was VERY obvious that the taxi dude was at fault. Like. It was glaring.
But he was shouting and slapping the top of her car
there are several studies that confirms patient confusion stems more from poor communication than from titles. this is even evident, locally, in the success of the doctor tittle for dentists.
this is already coming off as protectionism. too embarrassing abeg.
@aweosa_ You're the misguided person here. Everyone knows their roles in the hospital, trust me. Saying other ādoctorsā should take care of emergencies is dissonance. The advancement of other professions should cause this much concern.
@TamiloreAdewuyi@vincentajibola@abu_nuel@OlaleyeJDammy It's simple!
Since it's a Nigerian business operating in Nigeria, bring them in to the office where you can provide 24/7 internet and power for them to do their jobs. Otherwise, you have to put that consideration into their pay if you aren't willing to service the total cost.
Just yesterday in Gombe,
A terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of christians doing an Easter walk.
Just yesterday evening.
Last week, on Palm Sunday,
51christians were slaughtered in plateau state. This included a 3year old and a 94yr old who were macheted to death in their sleep.
Where is Ahmed Musa?
Where is Bashir Ahmad?
Where is Rahama Sadau?
Where are all the public figures, influencers and people who were angry about Uromi?
Have they said anything yet?
Where are the pretentious āhumanity firstā lying heartless unfortunate gaslighters?
JUST IN: Sunday Jackson, a farmer from Adamawa State, has been sentenced to death by the Nigerian Supreme Court for killing a Fulani herdsman, despite claims of acting in self-defense.
Nigerians Provide their Own Housing, Power, Water & Sewage. Because the Govt has Failed. Everyone Understands this. But Once you bring up Gun Ownership so that Nigerians can Provide themselves with their Own Security People start to Hala. š¤š
