The society we abuse today will eventually take its toll on our children, because they will only learn by our example. Everything we are experiencing in our country today is a reflection of the decay of civility and orderliness.
When we choose to conduct both our public and personal lives with bad behaviour and rascality, we normalise bad behaviour, lawlessness, and criminality.
I watched a heartbreaking video that showed students in Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State running for their lives as they were being shot at during their student election yesterday which left 2 students dead and several injured.
The question is: Where did they learn it from?
Are they cursed, or are we the political leaders who are cursed?
When we have chosen to "fight, snatch it, grab it, and run with it" how can we expect our children to do it rightly and democratically when they have learned from us?
This is not just disgraceful, itโs a national indictment. When we, the leaders, have chosen to fight, snatch, grab and run with it, our children have learned similar and rascality is now a normal situation.
It is now up to us, the leaders, to learn how to restore civility, order, and core values in our society by ensuring that our character and behaviour reflect the change we seek in our society.
We must do better, for our students, for our children, and for our country.

The Incident Between Myself and Sen. Nwaebonyi is What Women Go Through When Cameras Are Not On -Ezekwesili
This is a distraction by the Senate to ignore Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghanโs fair hearing. The culture of silencing a woman who wants to speak is not proper. This is the pattern of behaviour Sen. Nwaebonyi displayed.

@BashirAhmaad Yes, I agree with u. None of them watch banditry spread, and non invited foolani to come invade our space. None printed new monies with billions.
Non travelled like your mumu poohari. None went to Chatham house and waited like a waiter
