Question everything, even your own sanity!

Sycophancy pays more in today’s Nigeria than hard work, competence, or integrity.

That is not the kind of society our children should grow up in.

It is horrible.

A nation cannot progress when loyalty to individuals is rewarded more than merit, excellence, and truth.

This generation must put a stop to it.

The burden of a genius is being right too early, at a moment when it’s considered crazy to be right.

Church testimonies feel different lately.

Someone got a job after 2 years of graduation and everybody is clapping like it’s a breakthrough.

Another one says she finally fed her 4 children this week without borrowing.

Someone else says they were finally paid at their government job after 3 months of no salary.

These are just survival updates.

If you are working in the financial sector, there’s no way you won’t have heard about how a girl working in one of the most popular Nigerian Banks in Ikorodu is currently cooling her heels in prison as we speak.

I have never seen a bold idiotic thief like this girl before. As a head teller, she was stationed at a Nigerian University in Lagos. I won’t mention the bank or the school. This girl has access to all the accounts the university has with her bank. The accounts are so many that I doubt the school has wind of amounts flowing in. They don’t even have people monitoring these accounts. (I blame the school on this part).

This girl, Zainab in the past two years has been removing monies from different accounts belonging to this university with huge sums. The day she would remove 1m, 2m or 3m. It was possible because the bank branch she operates in is a very small unit and authorization is done by her. (The branch in the school is small. I think it is just for deposit).

One sunny day like that, someone from the Bursary department of the school noticed it and immediately went to the small bank in the school to meet with the amazing thief. He wasn’t there to stop it, in fact, he was there to negotiate. He negotiated and gave the girl more accounts to penetrate into with a splitting formula. In 2 years, they have moved about 100m according to the school.

How was she caught?

Some months ago, she was transferred out of the branch to a big branch where her roles are limited to authorization. So, she needs someone to initiate the transaction first before she authorizes and that’s the work of smaller tellers. She didn’t have access to direct debiting again.

Some Fridays ago, at the close of business, she codedly and cunningly used the access of one of the newbies teller to make a 3m transfer to the account she was always transferring to. (She has opened an account for her younger brother using her own details. He didn’t even know he has an account with the bank). She has even gone to her desk to authorize it. Omo ogbon.

The newbie teller sensed something was wrong and immediately went back to log in, only to see the transaction she never did. She called another newbie teller and they faced Zainab to provide her the ticket to the transaction she did on her computer. (A crime on its own. Every bank frowns at giving out your login details to another staff). Being the head, the cunningly maneuvered her way out and told them they will get the ticket on Monday.

The newbie teller couldn’t sleep all weekend. Her heart beat fast until she spoke up and explained what happened to her sister who asked her to inform their boss on Monday. It was when she reported that they searched through her login details and found out she has stolen enough in the past two years while she was in the school small branch.

Police were invited and investigation happened broadly. Everyone involved was packed.

Now, what did she spend money on? She has made over 43m but never bought land or house. She dresses newly everyday. She doesn’t repeat clothes. While others are eating mama put, she’s always ordering meals. She orders Uber for everything and will never be caught in danfos like me. She won’t even manage BRT 😭. She didn’t spend 1 Naira on her family. Her mother sells bread on the pavement beside the road in Ikorodu garage. She was buying wigs upon wigs upon wigs. She spent money sleeping in hotels and balling her boyfriend. Nothing tangible was caught with her. In fact, her mother still sell bread by the roadside with her head buried in shame her daughter brought upon her.

Everyone has a fault in this case but a thief is a thief. What she didn’t know is that Freedom is better than 43m. Kirikiri will open your eyes. If you are a thief, you can stop now.

“In my lifetime in Nigeria, I have never seen a Nigerian politician come out and say that, as a former governor, he left money behind, built over 800 kilometers of roads, elevated his state’s education from last to top, and since leaving office has not taken a pension or any benefits attached to being a former governor.

Or that the reason he was impeached was because he refused to pad a budget that was supposed to be used for renovations. Something they wanted to do for billions of naira, he did for less than ₦400 million.

To top it off, neither the ruling party that has a record of intimidating and blackmailing their opponents with their looting/corruption records, nor the EFCC, one of the most biased & corrupt institutions in Nigeria, has found anything significant to use against him. I have never seen such a leader in Nigerian history.”

His name is Peter Obi‼️

[Olamide . @olamide_adee]

The problem with Nigerians is you all actually think you have the same problem as Ghana , South Africa and co

We’re literally on the same level as Congo , South Sudan if not worse .

[Neto @docneto]

Your loyalty to defending the BAT cause would be admirable if it weren't so blinkered. I have just one recommendation for you. Go to the streets and ask people how much they now buy food for.

Like Saul on his way to Damascus, you will be arrested, not by a supernatural voice but by the choruses of hungry Nigerians relating how hunger pangs have become the background music to their daily lives since the advent of BAT.

I hope when this happens, like Paul, you experience a change of heart and shill in favour of the masses against what has been a disastrous 12 years of APC. I won't hold my breath though.

Oh one last suggestion: don't give people this your data when you're out on the streets being serenaded by the rumblings in their stomachs. We need you to be around when Mr Obi takes the presidential oath come next year. Nigeria suppose work for you too in your lifetime 😄

We dress it up, give it a name, add some feelings to it. But a lot of what passes for relationships in our world is just transactional behaviour with romantic packaging.

“I wouldn’t want your shirt. I’d prefer cotton over silk.”

Normal person: “I prefer silk sometimes.” “This is fine, I like it.” “Lol, you’re crazy.”

Average Nigerian: “You think you’re better than me?” “You don’t even know what I have!” “What’s even special about your own?”

[Ben X @Benn_X1]

You guys still don’t get it.
If you somehow think the ruling class is dumb, then they’ve succeeded already.
It is intentional and in your interest to play dumb if you want to be in the ruling class in a democracy where the majority are, for the lack of a better word, dumb.

And before anyone comes here to talk about rigging and vote buying, you need to be popular to even rig. The people need to see you as truly one of them.
You can experiment in the next election cycle: speak grammar, have a nice manifesto and play textbook politics, etc. Your opponent will defeat you with 2 cups of rice, N5k in an envelope, and branded shirts and caps. The people who will do the voting will relate more to the guy who meets their immediate need, which is the next meal, than the guy who’s talking about securing their children’s future.

Do you know why almost every governor wants to build an airport instead of investing in primary healthcare, basic education and obvious things that anybody with half a brain knows will benefit the people long term? Well, it is an elephant project that presents an opportunity to misappropriate public funds. Some of the proceeds will be used to fund their reelection or consolidate power.

If you think the ruling class is dumb, then maybe you need to look in the mirror. There’s no way they’ll continue to rule if they are as dumb as you think.
Look at the profiles of the people in power, they’re not dull people; they’ve only succeeded in making you think they don’t know what they’re doing.

I don’t take marital advice from someone simply because they are married.

Because many are stupid. Marriage doesn’t erase foolishness.

[BeansAndBreadActivist @R3buildYou]

@OmolewaAbraham If we had a president who wants to root out corruption, he would not have made it to the primaries. Cases from AG would ensure federal laws are followed.

But because this is Nigeria, people ignore certain things in hopes that you support their ambition or pay them.

[pio @TIN6_66]

YOU ARE WRONG!!!

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

If you listen to Donald Duke of the PRP, you will appreciate the clarity of his mission and vision for Nigeria, in contrast to BOLA TINUBU, whose political appeal relies largely on regional support.

TINUBU IS YOUR PRESIDENT. WHY ARE YOU NOT FOCUSING ON THE MAIN OPPOSITION

HABA 😫✌️

[The Controversial One☝️👑 @silentofaith1]

I experienced this "marry first" statement firsthand at the gym.
Married people talking about how their wives could call them "stupid" out of anger and how you'll have to endure it cuz that's what marriage is all about 😭
I couldn't believe my ears, I strongly condemned it...
