In just one year, Nigerians spent $1.6B in ransoms.
To put that into perspective, Nigeria’s annual ransom marketplace is now 11 times larger than the country’s entire Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Q1 2025.
Crime has structurally outpaced the formal economy under Tinubu.
My aunt dated a man for two years and eventually left him. To her, it felt like he never truly loved her, he never said “I love you,” never held her hand first, and never made big romantic gestures. She felt like she was the only one trying, like she was invisible to him.
Years later, she met his sister at a supermarket. They talked briefly, then the sister went quiet and said, “You know he grew up in a home where love was never expressed out loud. His father would punish any sign of emotion.”
She went on to say, “He stood outside your workplace every lunch break for six months before he found the courage to ask you out. He saved every message you ever sent him. Printed them. Kept them in a box under his bed.”
My aunt sat in her car in that parking lot and cried for an hour.
Then she called him.
He picked up on the first ring.
They’ve now been married for nine years.
Most relationships don’t fail because love disappears, it fails because two people are speaking different emotional languages and both assume silence means indifference.
Check on the people you love. Ask the questions you’re afraid to ask.
Don’t let years pass built on assumptions.
It’s survival mode for Nigerian businesses.
~64% have been forced to slash staff just to stay afloat. With up to 60% of revenue swallowed by diesel and energy costs, some cannot even pay salaries.
Tinubu is breaking the backbone of Nigeria’s economy.
@wizzybaby Great to see that people with the potential for emotional growth and intelligence still exist
You made a mistake, it was hard but you learnt from it
So big ups to you
They are not even hiding it anymore. State and non-state actors are moving in sync to choke off free speech and silence independent media.
That’s how tyranny wins. Broadcast, print, online, and niche media must all be free.
We are not backing down. gst will continue to fight.
It's possible no one might see this
But I think tribalism is a construct made up by people in power to control us
