Cornealious Michael "Mike" Anderson III was convicted of armed robbery in 2000 and sentenced to 13 years, but the State of Missouri forgot to put him in prison.
Anderson figured the authorities had forgotten about him, so he joined a church, got married, had children, and...
All of a sudden, those who called the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium “A waste of resources” and compared it to a brewery are in the comments and quotes praising this “proposal”.
Like I say, if you like, allow them gaslight you say your own bad, while they praise your own.
I will ask about this project in 2030. Bookmark with me.
The romanticization of downies is very weird to me.
“Oh they’re so happy!” Yeah because they have an IQ of 34.
People see little clips of the higher-functioning minority being cute online and then feel entitled to massively underestimate the amount of mental, social, financial, and medical resources it takes to raise them.
This isn’t helped by the fact that the parents of profoundly disabled kids often try and offset the (very valid) guilt, disappointment, and burnout they feel by frantically pretending like their lives are great because farming praise for being “good people” and righteously dunking on parents who don’t want that for themselves are the only coping mechanisms they have.
A profoundly disabled child is not a houseplant or kitten, and it isn’t a responsibility that ever ends. The vast majority of downies are not capable of obtaining even a mild degree of independence.
You will be taking care of them until the day you die (and spend the last moments of your life worrying about who will take care of them when you’re gone).
Imagine being 80 years old and still having to heat up nuggets for your 45 year old child, remind them to wash, tell them when to go to bed, etc…
Imagine not being able to do literally anything without having to consider whether or not your downie labubu can join.
Imagine never having grandchildren, or never being able to see your child go to college or get married. Fundamental experiences many look forward to, gone.
It’s not like the cute little clips in the vast majority of cases.
And this is all especially true if you have a male downie because once they hit puberty and adulthood, you now have all of the urges of a horny man trapped in the mind and body of someone with a no impulse control and superhuman retard strength.
It’s all fun and games until your 300 pound adult son who has the intellectual capacity of a turnip whips his junk out in a Walmart and starts rubbing it on the My Little Pony display (I witnessed this once, absolutely horrifying scenes).
All I’m saying is… If you want to be a downie parent - awesome. I wish you the best. I am sure there are plenty of profoundly disabled kids waiting to be adopted and you can put your money where your mouth is anytime.
But I do not blame anyone who does not want that life for themselves and, crucially, recognizes they would not be good parents in that situation.
At the very least, I respect the fact that they’re being honest, which seems to be something most people can’t do when it comes to the disabled.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
PUBLIC CLARIFICATION
On the 4th June 2026, I made a post concerning Her Excellency, Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Florence Ajimobi.
The post was made in reaction to a video and political commentary then circulating in the public domain regarding developments in Oyo State. It was not my intention to suggest, imply, or allege that Her Excellency was involved in any criminal activity, security breach, or unlawful conduct whatsoever.
Having reflected on the wording of the post, I recognize that it was capable of being interpreted in a manner different from what I intended. I therefore withdraw the post and regret any misunderstanding, discomfort, or unintended impression that it may have created.
I hold Her Excellency, Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, in high regard and have no basis for asserting that she is connected with any criminal conduct or security-related wrongdoing.
Going forward, I undertake to exercise greater caution in commenting on matters relating to Her Excellency and shall refrain from making further statements concerning her in connection with this subject unless based on independently verified facts.
This clarification is made in the interest of fairness, civility, and responsible public discourse and is not intended as an admission of liability or wrongdoing.
