ASUU is on strike but they are hiding the news.
All the Federal Universities are currently striking, but Tinubu and compromised media and covering the headline!!!
Nigerians wake up!!!
A poor economy can explain so many different crimes but rape isn’t one of them. You rape because you’re a rapist, there are no socioeconomic factors that influence that.
Come to think of it...I don't understand why you only need a SSCE certificate to be eligible to contest for president, but needs NYSC certificate to get a ₦120k job.
A Nigerian woman posted a video sexually abusing a child.
Nigerian women quickly mobilised to contact the police and sexual violence authorities to find and arrest the woman.
No making excuses, no talking about how the child is randy
No rubbish.
Just police straight.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A nation of professional complainers and part time cowards.
Everyday, you people will come on this app to lament that MTN is stealing your data.
Someone finally decides to actually do something about it instead of sitting down to cry like is common with Nigerians.
And all she's asking is for you people to help her sign a petition and provide more evidence that she can use in this fight.
And what do Nigerians do?
They ignore her and act like they're all suddenly too wealthy to care now.
Just 10k signatures, and it's been over 2 days already. Yet over 489k people have seen this tweet.
Tomorrow, you'll wonder why your country is the way it is.
Your leaders already know you're all a bunch of cowards who would rather sit on your hands and complain than demand accountability.
They know you'll never wake up from your sleep and fight for your rights.
Next thing, you'll start tagging Donald Trump to come and save you, like it was your grandfathers that helped them get America to where it is today.
Keep waiting for other people to come and save you, you hear?
Bunch of princesses.
Every once in a while I think about the trip that I took the kids to Euro Disney 9 years ago and how I should have bought 3-4 designer bags instead 🤔 They barely remember anything about it. If you have small kids, use your money to treat yourself and save for later years 🤷🏽♀️
Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
THE BIGGEST TRICK THESE POLITICIANS HAVE PLAYED ON NIGERIANS IS CONVINCING YOU THAT THEIR POLITICS IS A FOOTBALL MATCH, WHEN THE STAKES ARE YOUR ACTUAL LIFE.
Listen carefully to the way Wike and these politicians speak.
“I will show them.”
“They cannot do this to me.”
“We will defeat them.”
“They will see.”
Everything is Wike vs somebody. Tinubu vs somebody. Atiku vs somebody. Peter Obi vs somebody.
They make it personal between THEM, so you become a spectator. You pick a team. You start analysing who is the bigger man, who outsmarted who, who embarrassed who, who has more power.
Meanwhile, NA YOU GO SUFFER.
Take this thing personally.
This election is not about Wike. It is not about Tinubu. It is not about Atiku. It is not even about Peter Obi.
It is about YOU.
Your life. Your children. Your job. Your business. The price of food. The hospital you will enter when you are sick. The school your children will attend. The roads you will drive on. Whether you have light. Whether your salary can still feed you.
Ask yourself one simple question: WHO DO I GENUINELY BELIEVE CAN MAKE MY LIFE BETTER IN NIGERIA?
Forget their personal fights.
Because when this political Champions League finishes, Wike will be fine. Tinubu will be fine. Atiku will be fine. Peter Obi will be fine.
You are the one who has to live with the consequences.
Stop watching Nigerian politics like a spectator.
YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THE MATCH. YOU ARE THE STAKES.
@gkbalogs Thanks for the tips! If you're looking for suya when it really matters, when you can't afford hiccups in taste and convenience, @SuyaTown is the best in Lagos. ❤️
Atheism Is Not Your Rebellion
It's only Nigerians who can somehow turn atheism into a form of rebellion. 😂
Bro, atheism is not a lifestyle. It is not a fashion statement. It is not an excuse to misbehave. It is not "my parents are too religious, therefore I am now an atheist." And it is certainly not a passport to become everything your conservative upbringing told you not to become.
Atheism, in the simplest sense, is the absence of belief in gods. Finish.
You can be an atheist and still be conservative. You can be an atheist and be disciplined. You can be an atheist and never drink alcohol. You can be an atheist and remain faithful to one partner. You can be an atheist and respect your parents. You can even be boring. There is no Atheist Headquarters issuing igbo, tattoos, and piercings upon deconversion.
But Nigerians have a special talent for turning ideas into something else.
We did something similar with feminism. A serious political and social philosophy about women's equality enters Nigeria, and before long, some people reduce the entire thing to "I don't cook for men." Meanwhile, feminism is considerably bigger than who washed the plates.
Now atheism too has entered Nigerian hands.
Somebody quarrels with his pastor, discovers Christopher Hitchens on YouTube on Tuesday, changes his X bio to "Freethinker" on Wednesday, starts insulting everybody's religion on Thursday, and by Friday he has somehow concluded that atheism requires him to become a public nuisance.
Calm down. 😂
You may simply be irreligious.
You may be agnostic.
You may be questioning your faith.
You may be angry with organized religion.
You may simply hate your church.
You may even just be going through your own personal rebellion.
All these things are legitimate experiences, but please don't package all of them and write ATHEISM on the package.
Because atheism doesn't automatically make anybody intelligent, rational, moral or sophisticated. An atheist can still be stupid. An atheist can still believe nonsense. An atheist can still be tribalistic, corrupt, misogynistic, fraudulent and superstitious.
Removing God from an irrational mind doesn't automatically produce a rational human being.
And this is particularly funny in Nigeria because some of our newly minted atheists haven't even completely evicted Jesus from the building.
Small NEPA transformer explosion:
"JESUS!!!"
Plane enters turbulence:
"Blood of Jesus!"
Danfo nearly hits them:
"Jesu Christi!"
My sis in disbelief, who exactly are you calling? 😂
Of course, these expressions can simply be cultural reflexes. That is precisely the point. Leaving religion intellectually is different from disentangling yourself from a lifetime of religious culture.
So take your time. Read. Think. Question. Learn philosophy. Learn science. Understand skepticism. Understand the difference between atheism, agnosticism, secularism, humanism and simply being pissed off with religion.
And most importantly, develop your own moral compass.
Don't escape one form of dogmatism only to join another.
Your personal crisis does not have to become the public face of atheism.
Some of us are just here quietly not believing.
Leave atheists out of your rebellion. 😂
I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
