You can trace every problem in this country to a lack of consequences for actions.
Right from the societal level, we have built a nonsense habit of telling people to take heart when they are cheated or betrayed.
There is a reason there are many actions with punishments in our various religions.
This is why politicians steal with impunity. This is why banditry thrives. This is why kidnapping is a lucrative job.
People don’t get punished for their wrongdoings in this country.
This stupid girl posted something, and she was warned by many people right before it went viral, but she refused to listen.
Now that she’s facing the court, idiots are trying to gaslight us into believing it’s wrong to let her face the wrath of the law.
We have built a lawless society, and this is why we’re receiving heat from every angle.
When I got paid last month, I decided to satisfy my strong craving for burger and milkshake. A night has not passed since then where I did not wake up to regret that decision.
“After I posted it on my X page, I deleted it after I saw OPay’s notice that it was fåke, and I publicly apologised. Five days later, I was picked up in Zaria, Kaduna State, following a petition by OPay.”

I was on call in a private hospital when one of my nurses developed abdominal pains.
I ran around despite resistance from the hospital's admin to ensure she got an Ultrasound (they wanted her to pay first!).
Results showed Acute Appendicitis. This private hospital refused to book her in for urgent surgery until she made a deposit of 750K (Ps-She works here and her salary is less than 180K).
We mobilized her and sent her with another nurse to a government hospital. She went to 4 different government hospitals and 'No bed space' was all they said and turned them back (not even minding she was a nurse!).
I had to ask them to bring her back to the private hospital where she finally had the surgery after myself and 3 other nurses including the patient signed to have deductions from our salaries till the debt was paid.
She had a ruptured appendix when we finally went in which changed the surgery from a simple appendectomy to an Ex-Lap. 750k became 1.6M and we had to pay it for 5 months till it was completed. She is fine now but just putting this out here.
