Classism in Nigeria is so stupid bro

Classism over Phones
Classism over cars
Classism over Solar inverters 💀

[John Daniells @JohnODaniells]

@CryptoMuse01 Exactly. Even more crazy!

[John Daniells @JohnODaniells]

Scary stats

650B? Cold.

[Auggie The Serenading Psychic (🚰❤️‍🔥♣️) @CryptoMuse01]

Did you know that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took power, his administration has cumulatively squeezed over ₦650 Billion (officially — though I believe the true figures to be alarmingly higher) out of our digital bank platforms through the ₦50 transfer levy alone?

Before Tinubu's draconian enforcement, the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) was a leaky bucket, scraping about ₦114 Billion in 2021 and ₦125 Billion in 2022 under the previous administration.

But since Tinubu ascended the throne of his fathers (ori aleefa awon baba re 🤣🤣), with the Lagos NURTW-type efficiency, the formerly inefficient bucket has been weaponised into a giant pipeline:

• The 2024 Loot: ₦213 Billion to ₦219 Billion collected after his administration forcefully expanded the tax to capture fintech apps like OPay, Moniepoint, and PalmPay.

• The 2025 Surge: A devastating ₦440.32 Billion generated across the full year—more than double of 2024 after his team completely closed electronic loopholes.

Cumulatively, this means well over ₦650 Billion has been automatically scraped straight off the almost fleshless bones of starving Nigerians through bank apps — and they are officially projecting ₦456 Billion in 2026, on their way to a target of ₦579 Billion in 2027.
This is the ultimate signature of an operational Agberocracy.

Just like the Lagos NURTW leaves the roads broken while taking home billions, this government has weaponised our banking apps to extract maximum cash without giving us stable electricity, healthcare, or security in return.

Everywhere you turn: "owo mi da?".

As the agberos on the streets shake down motorists, the national agberos in government collect it through our banks, when we shop, when we eat, and when we pay for their overpriced, inefficient power...

Everywhere "owo mi da?!", but we have absolutely nothing to show for it. They have taxed us into poverty, yet they threaten more taxes.

But ask yourself one question:

Where does all the money go?

I'll tell you.

Mo n bo na. (I'll be right back!)

[Mr. Sandman @gefahrlichx]

Unpopular opinion: wanting to marry primarily because of having your sexual needs met is not only completely justified, but also encouraged in the Bible.

The primary biblical concern is not “Are you marrying for pure enough reasons?” The concern is “Are you going to end up in sexual sin?” Marriage is presented as the righteous outlet for a desire that is assumed to be strong in both men and women.

Many modernized pastors like to oppose this by saying that a marriage done quickly for the purpose of instant gratification is the way the world operates. But actually the world operates completely outside of marriage, just fixating on pumping and dumping. Someone wanting to marry the person he wants to have sex with is already operating outside of the world by taking responsibility for his desires as he literally marries the person. Seeing someone but waiting years to marry, however, only increases the chances for the sin to occur. By waiting unnecessarily to marry, you are literally operating as the world does.

Dictators will always insist that you follow the proper channels to remove them from power because they know they have captured those very channels. They are confident the system will protect them, not the people.

[John Daniells @JohnODaniells]

Nigerians living in Nigeria are like the slow boiling water frog experiment.

We don't know how bad it is, until diasporeans who have been out of the country for 3-5 years,

…suddenly return and they scream at the insane, astronomically high standard of living.

[Nwafor Kevin @NwaforKevin1]

If you have left Nigeria for the past 5 years and haven’t returned trust me you aren’t missing out on anything, I am currently visiting Nigeria and I have been shouting blood of Jesus, this place is not meant for humans.
The quality of life is the worst I have ever seen

@_damiChoco Waoh, to think that we're barely scratching the surface with AI these days nko?

This is brazen mheeeen

If I be Umahi, true true, I go vex gan. Cos he really collect from PO here, respectfully too.

[Obidient Premium Times @ObidientPremium]

Umahi still seems upset about that interview. He wanted a debate with H.E. Peter Obi, but you can’t be playing in Division 1 and demand a Champions League fixture.

Obi’s reply was pure class. No noise, just a reality check.

Not every political heavyweight is in the same league.

Rigging an election is one thing. Expecting to rule the very people whose will you have subverted is another! Not in this generation!

Did you know that in 2021, the ICIR found that Lagos Agberos extort over ₦120B annually ($300M at the time) from drivers?

The NURTW functions essentially as a state-backed, private terror cartel.

In 2021, this syndicate out-earned 34 out of 36 Nigerian states—dwarfing entire state budgets and clearing nearly 30% of the IGR of the almighty Lagos State.

And they keep almost all of it. Only a tiny, unofficial sliver goes to local governments through the LGAs to keep them pliant.

Long before Tompolo landed his juicy pipeline surveillance contracts, Tinubu had willed Lagosians, public motorists, and their hard-earned money over to this private army.

Today, that army has evolved into an untouchable corporate shadow government.

They don't build schools, they don't fix the roads, and they don't provide welfare.

They just extort everyday Nigerians by day, and serve as political enforcers to intimidate voters by on election nights.

Over 100k votes in Adamawa, we should get 25% .
294k votes in Kaduna, we should get 25%
146k votes in Taraba, we can do better this time.

We need 25% in the core north, we shouldn’t have to deal with Tinubu’s machinery and Atiku people.
Let wisdom prevail.

[Ugochukwu Madu @UgochukwuCFR]

It’s been ~10 months since the U.S. travel restrictions on Nigeria were announced, and I can’t believe we’ve moved on like nothing happened.

No reciprocal ban. Nothing to be hopeful about. Just clear evidence of a government that that doesn’t care about its citizens.

International students from Nigeria have lost countless study-abroad opportunities because of this travel ban. Those already in the US are afraid of visiting home.

It’s unfortunate that this ban affects only the common man on B-1, B2, B-1/B-2, F, M, and J visas; Nigerian politicians and diplomats still visit the US using A-1 and A-2 visas, which of course are not part of the ban. Many of them hold a US passport or green card.

“Giant of Africa,” indeed.

Truly, “there was a country.”
