I grew up in Jos, Plateau State, watching my parents live in fear, chased in terror by the parents of the very people now responsible for the dastardly acts on the Plateau. Permit me to start this way…
There is a thin line between silence and cowardice; a thin line between defending oneself and murder; and an even thinner one between a peace seeking Muslim and an Islamist jihadist.
To every man who draws breath, there is a purpose, and to everything that has life, there is a greater calling, hence our positioning here on earth.
I identify as a deeply empathetic man, one who refuses to sit back and watch scores of people lose their lives, their property, and their loved ones. I choose to be the man who uses whatever resources and means he has to ensure that the few he can help are actually helped. I refuse to simply exist within a system cruel enough to silence the screams of women who cry daily, women with unaddressed health challenges, women who run for their lives at the break of every dawn.
I have made a decision, to make as much noise as my time here permits, to see that children who grow up without parents, clothing, healthcare, and education are given a chance to achieve their dreams, if they ever find their way back to dreaming at all.
Permit me to ask, as bluntly as possible, what the fvck are we doing? Why is no one reporting these issues? Why is there no proper structure in place to address the onslaught in Miango? Why aren’t there serious cantonments or even armored vehicles patrolling every street, with able bodied military personnel assuring the indigenous people of Miango that they are protected and being fought for?
How was Angwan Rukuba even attacked? If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said that was the last thing I would ever believe could happen. Yet it has, and there seems to be a faction within Plateau State that believes the appropriate response to such barbarity is the imposition of curfews and a few mediocre conference meetings at the state airport, alongside a President who appears too distant to truly empathize with the indigenous people of Plateau State.
People are dying in large numbers. Scores are being displaced in ways no form of humanitarian aid can fully heal. Yet a certain politician, one who should be the voice of the common Plateau man, stood before a public address system and spoke gibberish, framing a crisis he failed to contain as some scheme to sabotage the next election.
To that man, I say this with all due respect, you will not have indigenous people left to vote for your political interests if you do not rise and do the right thing. We are being slaughtered daily, and it is dangerously becoming normal to wake up to such heartbreaking news. Ask the President whether he would have secured the votes he did if he had campaigned only from the state airport. Ask the sitting Governor whether he would have been elected if he had campaigned from inside an armored truck.
The government has failed its people, not just in Miango and Angwan Rukuba, but also in Heipang, Barkin Ladi, Mangu, and other parts of the state. Yet they continue to campaign for office with empty mandates, while their default response to crises remains the same, the almighty curfew.
We are tired of mediocre leadership. Sit up, or make way for those who can.
I grew up here in Jos, Plateau State, watching my parents live in fear, chased in terror by the parents of those who are now the perpetrators of massacres on the Plateau. People are afraid to even call their names. The Islamist jihadist settlers within Plateau State.
This must stop. And we must act, collectively, because our lives depend on the actions we take today, and the future of our children depends on the decisions we make now.
Respect to Islam. But I condemn every Islamic jihadist and those who grant them amnesty.
Wake up, Plateau!!!
Two people told me to my face that I’ll never amount to anything. This was between SS3 and 400lvl.
Sec school principal and Registrar(? I think that’s her current post) at uni.
Growing up in the spotlight had it’s issues. Reason I won’t become a pastor- for my kids.

ODUMEJE CALLED ME
HE SAID
“I SAW IN A VISION THAT THEY WANTED TO DETAIN YOU AND POISON YOU”
MY GOD WILL NEVER LET ME DIE
THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO GO AGAINST THE WORLD OF DARKNESS
UNFORTUNATELY, I AM FORTIFIED WITH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
HE SAID “DO NOT WORRY,THEY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND”
VICTORY IS ASSURED.
AMEN,
Odumodu doesn’t understand the bro code and it shows. If I start moving to a girl my guy has piped before, especially when I’m wanting a serious relationship with the girl, and my guy just watches without letting me know he’s had a thing with her before. The day I find out, he becomes an enemy.
I would have expected my guy to tell me at least, it will now be left to me to decide if I want to carry on or not. That’s bro code.
But he has a problem with Blaqbonez hinting him that he’s had a thing with the girl he’s moving to. OD obviously doesn’t get it. And Blaq was just doing what any reasonable friend will do.
I just want to thank everyone for your kindnesses and the trust. What began as a mockery turned out to be a miracle. Thank you for your eternal show of support.
Together we raised the sum of N14m for him. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙏🏾
@Skolex5 will guide him through financial investment so his life and finances is properly secured. Once again, THANK YOU 🙏🏾
This is psychology and I will kindly explain to all of you

The X payout he will get from this tweet and recurring tweets that you all made to trend.... Will give him half the price for the bike.
His formula is
Purchase > Criticism > Attention > Revenue
So in reality, he will get at least 800k ($600) from the next X payout. That means he used 1.5m to buy the bike, but he's getting at least 800k in returns from the clout that the bike created on twitter. Making him spend around 700k tops on it 😅
Which Keke business or investment business will fetch him 800k ROI in less than 7 days of purchase? 😂
.
.
So you can see that he is miles ahead in intelligence. He's not dull. He's not gullible.
He knows exactly what he is doing and fortunately for him, he's going to get exactly what he's looking for.
.
.
I can bet it anywhere that there's no Keke business that will bring over 800k net profit, in less than 7 days.
He bought the Bike and used your criticisms to return the money back to his bank account
.
.
Lol, he is a first-class graduate and for some months now, he has intelligently ridden on his fame and attention.
A lot of people are making him seem like he's not intellectual or logical to have made this purchase.
.
.
That's psychology at play
And as a psychologist that I am, it's quite easy to spot it out.... Lol
.
.
We study humans and their behaviours. But 5Star isn't a psychologist. His IQ is quite high for him to think of it this way.
He just bought one of his cravings (Bike) and you and I are going to pay for it indirectly with our attention and opinions....😁
Congratulations 5Star. I wish you the best in whatever it is you wish to do and have in life.
.
.
.
For you reading this...
Learn psychology. Learn human behavior and I promise you, you will see through a lot of things, understand how humans operate. And have better understanding of people around you 💯

Thank you for readinggggg
Remember to stay hydrated today 💦

Why you self no wait how I take dy wait to plan myself?.
“Can I call you”
At 10pm? No please . I know where this is going. You will call me at night, we’ll talk for hours, I’ll get comfortable, start catching feelings, then one day you’ll tell me you’re busy and the calls will reduce. Meanwhile….you weren’t busy when you were trying to get me attached. Don’t call me sir😭

I still enjoy entering Keke and buses for now.
I will buy eventually shaa. Na Money Market, Tbills or fixed deposit go fund am.

I hear say the Highlander dy consume fuel so I need to set up something that the ROI will be fuelling and maintaining the car make I no buy motor come dy fear to drive am coz of high cost of maintenance.
Them no dy use capital buy liability. Its the ROI from investments that funds liabilities.
I still dy my papa house as well. If I must move, I go like make e be my own house as well and na still money market go fund am.
Thing is a lot of folks think more money can fix things, and that the more money you have, the less worries you will get. Truth is, even if your income increases and your financial literacy plus decision making doesn't improve, you will still fall back to ground zero.
What separates the rich from the poor is DECISION MAKING and ACCESS TO INFORMATION.
Poor people usually have poor decision making and lack access to the right kind of information.
