@le_capone Goes back to the whole “Olodo uprising” debacle. The only comeback the “olodos” had was in terms of material possessions. Unfortunately that’s the only hallmark of success in Nigeria. “If you no get money, hide your face”.
He says the government has done a poor job of explaining it but all he does in this clip is further obfuscate and tap dance around it. His lack of conviction when he speaks about this is also telling. Waste of taxpayer funds if you ask me
PM Carney's remarks on the controversial BC condo purchase program. He acknowledges the government has done a poor job of explaining what this is. New details: The program has a maximum budget of $1.45B, with 10% from the federal government and 90% from the province.
“Why argue with an Arsenal fan when you can just wait?” We waited. We won. We are champions of England - and we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe. Read my piece on what Arsenal means to me here: https://t.co/J6cg388mRH
No matter how rich you are individually as a Nigerian, we are all collectively poor. Very poor.
You only realize this during emergencies. A fire breaks out and there is no fire service. An accident happens and there is no first aid, no ambulance, no system.
Today, a world boxing champion like Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident and not a single ambulance showed up. Someone that rich and globally known. People only gathered around him like it was a carnival. No safety measures. No trained response. Just chaos.
An accident that claimed two lives o!
Last month, an aide to a sitting governor was stabbed at a political event.. Somebody lifted him on his shoulder ! Such a gory sight!
Still no ambulance
Not even for a governor’s aide.
That is real poverty.
In Nigeria, money does not save you in a crisis. Influence does not protect you. When it matters most, everyone is poor.
To the rich and influential Nigerian who thinks demanding a better country is for the poor masses, one day you will understand. In an emergency, you are just as poor as the rest of us.
Nigeria is poor.
Poor poor.
RIP to the dead and wishing Anthony Joshua quick recovery.
