@ruffydfire Mr Macaroni that's talking about a better electoral process or a better Nigeria. What lessons are Nigerians learning from his Skits? If not big ass and sexualized nonsense.
One thing I have never done, and will never do in my life, is throw my country, Nigeria, under the bus and start writing hateful things about Nigeria just because my favourite politician did not win an election and is not the president of Nigeria.
Their candidate lost an election; since then, Nigeria has been in trouble in their hands. Every post, every article all over social media is aimed at de-marketing Nigeria. They share every negative piece of news about Nigeria, blog it, repost it, and spread it like wildfire.
Quote me, there is nothing going on in Nigeria with all our problems that other countries are not going through same or even worse. But guess what, they are not shouting at the roof top and de-marketing their country about it like our own people do about Nigeria.
They forget that we now live in a global village, where the moment you press the send button on your phone, someone in the US, UK, Qatar, South Africa, and everywhere else in the world can read and see it.
They also forget that international observers and government functionaries of other nations use all this negative rhetoric about Nigeria to form opinions, which indirectly inform how they curate diplomatic and foreign policies toward other countries.
A Ugandan colleague asked me some time ago why Nigerians are so toxic toward their country. He said you would hardly read Nigerians saying anything good about their country on social media.
Also, this colleague attends a Redeemed Church in London, which has a majority Nigerian congregation and a Nigerian pastor. He said it is very hard to hear them say anything good about Nigeria including the Pastor. Meanwhile, he said, what do they want him to say—that a dictator has been ruling his country for over 40 years and no one can challenge him?
But he said one thing he would not do is run down Uganda, because Uganda is bigger than Yoweri Museveni, and Museveni does not define them as Ugandans. He said I am the first Nigerian he has met who always showcases and speaks highly of Nigeria.
What is funny is that these Nigerians who are now crying about the visa ban against Nigerians do not realise that their online activities are part of why we are where we are today, especially with an American president who does not have any filter.
In fact, the greatest culprits in all of this are Nigerians in the diaspora, especially those living in the US, UK, and Europe. Living abroad is their claim to fame; they think they have arrived, and that everything about Nigeria is hell on earth, and those living back home is beneath them.
I encounter some of them often, and I never fail to put them in their place and remind them that living abroad does not make them better than those at home. It is usually when they return home after some years that they realise some of their friends and classmates did not remain where they left them.
For those of you back at home, tell me, who will feel the effect of the ban now? Is it Tinubu? His daughters even live in the US and are probably citizens. But you are the one looking for a visa to japa. Guess what: diplomatic passport holders are exempted from the ban.
Go to the US Embassy and show them your social media handles with all the negative and fake news about Nigeria trending on your timeline. Maybe they will exempt you and give you a visa for it. Olodo, oponu apoda gbogbo.
What you guys do not know is that most of the things you are doing by badmouthing this country online, spreading fake news, and negativity are the same things that will affect you the most.
Papa n para e, Olóhun p’Aja.
I love how this is coming from a foreigner. If a Nigerian had dared to vlog in the airport and posted it online, DSS would be harassing them by now. Instead of fixing the eyesore and training staff to deliver excellent service, they would rather intimidate and silence the voice of reason.
@Arkjohnofficial@ennyola0015 You are right sir; his second term will be very brutal. My prayer is that the Vultures at the high places of power never kill him before the plan is been executed.
@tvcnewsng This is one of the most useless Minister's this Administration employed at the detriment of Tax payers @woye@opebee. Am not used to commenting and tagging, but there is a need to for this. Thanks
One of the greatest tragedies in the world is to have your parents work so hard to send you to school, you go to school, lose your way, smoke drugs and then fail yourself out of school, into a life that can only punish you further.
In this situation, your parents lose. Worse for them if you are the only one they can count on. If not, their loss is minimal. The greatest loser though is the one who must bear the burden of their choices and failings, for life. Or until they change course.
It’s hard to change course. It is often just better to never ever start on some paths. For every immediate sense of greatness or high you get from a drag, you are dragging yourself into a much harder life.
Life, even for the rich and powerful, is hard enough. Don’t make things worse for yourself. Other people may pay for your stupidity, but no one will pay more than you, the one whose life gets to reflect the poor choices and judgments.
You may start out blaming everyone else. A time will come, you will have no one else to blame. And there will be only one person left to blame. You.
@Zeze_cptr@OpeBee Especially in Ogun State for those of us using @ibedc_ng the units are as low as 14units for #5000 naira. Please the government should work on it earnestly.
@tvcnewsng My Question is with all the news about illegal firearms apprehension by the police; where are they kept and how many are they through all this years?
@Imranmuhdz The Security of Nigeria are the most stupid and irrelevant kind of security i have ever heard of. Why not place this man on surveillance at supplying the bandits ; through that you gain information.. To me most of the security in Nigeria are working against this beautiful country
