Back in the day, I had a friend from Liberia.
Her parents were upper-middle-class and lived in Monrovia.
She said they woke one day to find rebels at the doorstep of Monrovia, and there was a mad dash to the airport. She said a country had sent planes to evacuate its citizens from Liberia, but the Liberians were buying the seats on those planes to escape.
Her parents could only afford to send her; she never saw them again.
I asked, “This war didn't start in one day; why didn't you leave earlier?”
She said, “We simply heard about an attack here and there and never assumed it would come to Monrovia.”
The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

In a tense live interview on Arise TV, Seyitan Atigarin confronted an APC defender, asking:
“You keep claiming the economy is better. How much is the minimum wage now, and how much does it cost to fill your car tank?”
The clip has gone viral, with many viewers left angry by the response.

Last year in December, I made a phone call to the NHS because I believed I had something meaningful to contribute.
A few months later, I was invited to a meeting.
After completing the necessary checks with @valerian247 and the onboarding process, I had the opportunity to present an idea focused on the early detection of patient deterioration… an early-warning system designed to identify risks before they become emergencies.
After I finished speaking, there was a brief silence.
In those few seconds, I could tell they were seeing the same big picture I was seeing.
“We would love to work with you on this.”
Since then, it has been a journey of putting together the right team, building the structure, and turning an idea into something that can make a real difference.
Almost 3AM, I am still awake at this hour brainstorming, knowing fully well that I have meetings lined up today from 11am to 4pm.
Some opportunities come with applause…Others come with responsibility.
This one came with both… But the game is the game, we gonna deliver.
A 14yr old child was raped in a boarding school in Abuja and died from Sepsis because condom was left inside her for days.
The school has done everything to cover it up.
This happened in 2021 and till date no justice
