“Under GEJ, there was only one kidnapping of school children by the terrorists, & the entire world was in protest against the govt. Under Buhari, in 8 yrs, there were 10 school abductions, & under 3 yrs of Tinubu govt, it has surpassed 10 & the world is keeping quiet”

Posts like this doesn't make sense to Nigerians because majority of us are stvpid but one thing I will never understand is how people get comfortable with abject poverty and excruciating suffering yet they don't ever want to be liberated. We also have many of them at home and abroad who are only comfortable making excuses for Nigeria's leadership failure by comparing the shortcomings of developed country's leaders while arguing that Nigerians should not expect the leadership strides back home. Isn't that insane?
Nigeria's minimum wage is ₦70,000 a MONTH.
The UK's minimum wage is £12.71 an HOUR.
A British worker on minimum wage earns about £2,200 a month working full-time. That's roughly ₦4.7 million at current exchange rates. Meanwhile, a Nigerian worker earns ₦70,000 for the entire month.
What's even more insulting is that some groceries are cheaper in the UK than in Nigeria. Milk, apples, potatoes and other basics often cost less there despite their workers earning hundreds of times more.
We earn like ants and spend like elephants.
The cruelty isn't just the poverty. It's that our leaders watch millions struggle to survive and act as if this is normal. Remi Tinubu thinks her husband is doing us a favour by building “coastal road” because “flight is expensive”
I hate it here.
@NigeriaStories The true two tier policing. O ye poor people of 🇳Igeria! Thou art suffer and foolish. Children of the poor abides with their tormentors in the wildernes whilst the family of the rich rescued in a jiffy.
