My dear sister Enny,
Calvary greetings to you.
First, I want to appreciate your beginning sentence. It is impossible to find an APC supporter who is knowledgeable enough to admit the maximum failure of Tinubu in national security.
Be it that the foremost and primary job of a President is to ensure security of life and property, the inability of Tinubu to guarantee his most basic constitutional duty should call for his resignation.
So I am thankful, you are also making that call.
On the Chagoury projects, I truly commend you for the simplicity of your mind.
But let me educate you:
Yes, $13 billion for a coastal road is ridiculous. How much is the road per km?
Also, how many Chagoury project passed through a bidding process, especially the Coastal Road which is Nigeria’s most expensive infrastructure project?
Today, contractors are protesting because they are yet to be paid but Tinubu paid all Chagoury projects including a $700million project, $13billion project, and $2million this year alone.
Contractors are being owed, Pensioners are being owed, healthcare workers are being owed, lecturers and teachers are being owed but Chief Tinubu had just enough money to pay Chagoury.
Patriotism is not defending every action of a government, patriotism is demanding better from those entrusted with power.
Tinubu has failed.
And just to note, it’s SERAH not Sarah
There’s a cute E in mine.

Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
Nah. 27-33 aren't your humbling years. They're your awakening years.
So many people misunderstand this phase of life.
That's when you start seeing things clearly. Everything suddenly dawns on you. You realize what you want, what doesn't matter, and how much time you've wasted.
Some people mistake that clarity for failure because they wish they had figured it out earlier.
But if you're determined, you can build more in those few years than you did in your entire early twenties.

#EndInsecurityInNigeria
I went to secondary school in Barkin Ladi 20 years ago. This is what SS1 - 3 boys were doing, night shifts in the blistering cold. I did it too. My mates in Oyo were sleeping or studying. I’ve watched this shit deteriorate in real time.
Barkin Ladi now looks nothing like it did when I graduated 14 years ago. I went to the same junction we used to buy stuff during outings last year & I was shaking. They don’t speak the same language. Crisis after crisis. Slowly, the people who used to till those lands are now doing menial jobs in the south. The names of the villages have changed. The senator representing that region was killed few days after I graduated when he attended a mass funeral of people who were massacred by the Fulanis who now occupy their homes. 14 years ago guys.
Trying to raise awareness about this state-backed conquest feels like screaming under water.
Few months ago, my aunt in mangu came to ask for money to trade cause she can’t farm anymore. Their farms were attacked 3 years ago. They wouldn’t dare go back.
For more than 10 years, we’ve had internally displaced persons from Borno living in our house, after my mother took them in. They only go back to their so-called homes for funerals. 3 brilliant kids; Elizabeth, Margaret and Grace (named after my now late mother for her benevolence). The dad does security work, the mom cleans. Who knows what they could’ve made of themselves back home? I do, they’d have been compost for aliens.
It always starts small then it spirals out of control. We’ve seen all kinds of terror. I wish they just came and shot people but that’s not fun enough. Bullets are for runners. They’ll slice pregnant women open to kill their fetuses. They’ll feed women their kid’s fingers. They burn people alive, hack them with machetes. When people try to defend themselves, that’s when soldiers come in. They call it farmer-herder clashes. They say cattle was rustled. Cattle was rustled? That’s why you renamed my village and put 200 people in a mass grave ?
I remember @YarKafanchan saying that she wept after the 2015 elections cause she knew her people would die like flies & then what happened in southern kaduna? When people talk, they say where’s the evidence? But what about the bodies? Dying is a morbid thing to be skilled at but boy, we have experience.
We’ve seen “strategists” platform them and defend all manner of wrongdoing on the alter of political correctness.
Omoh, let me just stop here.
A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY.
Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay.
How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence?
This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.
To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.
We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO
You slept last night and woke up on your comfy bed this morning.
But some little children in Esinele Oyo state slept in a bush with mosquitoes and sandflies feasting on them all night
Those children are suffering today because some non living things are supporting Tinubu.
Bandits entered a school .
Kidnapped all the students and teachers.
Now they just beheaded one of the teachers. 💔💔💔💔
Torturing the rest.
Everywhere is silent like nothing happened.
This country is fucked 😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
276 chibok Girls
- 88 people dead in Nyanya Bombing
- $1 - 215
- Fuel - 135 naira was enough to say Johnathan had failed & most people wanted his removal.
so why is
- 416 people in Borno
- over 170 kidnapped in Kwara
- 162 killed in Kaiama
- 177 in Kajuru
- fuel - 1,400
- $1 - 1,400 not enough to say BAT has failed & he needs to go??
i love the hunger games prequel novels because they show how much effort from countless of people it takes to start a revolution. lucy gray, lenore dove, maysilee, ampert, they’re all unseen heroes of katniss’s rebellion
OAU students are suffering. The 72-hour lecture boycott by the students' union yielded no results.
We had a very efficient transport system, and now we are forced by people who have their own private cars to enter CNG buses and motorcycles, which have proven to be very inefficient.
To meet up with 9 AM classes, you have to leave your hostel by 6 AM.
All motorcycles and commercial buses have been stopped.
This is my fourth year in this school, and I have never experienced this type of queue.
We are calling the attention of the public to the unnecessary plight OAU students have been subjected to.
Please retweet for a wider audience whether you are an OAU student or not. We never asked for CNG buses. It should help make life better and not difficult for us
