3 sets of people watching the world cup
1st set wants Portugal to win the world cup because of Ronaldo
2nd set wants Argentina to win the world cup because of Messi so as to gain more bragging right over Ronaldo.
3rd set just want another country aside the 2 above to win.
Because intelligence often demands responsibility, critical thinking, and difficult choices, while mediocrity offers comfort, conformity, and easy validation.
The real danger is not even when society rejects intelligence openly, but when it gradually rewards mediocrity and punishes excellence. That is how standards decline without many noticing.
What on earth can make one leave intelligence for mediocrity?
Why would one rather submit to an injurious mediocrity instead of sagacious intelligence?
These questions and more, got me disturbed.
What society have we actually subconsciously built for ourselves? A society

Anyone who watched Peter Obi's interview with Rufai and still believes he has a clear blueprint for the fundamental institutional reforms Nigeria needs will need to reassess that position.
From my perspective, the interview raised more questions than answers. It gave the impression of someone eager to become President but not sufficiently prepared for the scale and complexity of the task ahead.
Please listen to Sowore on how he will improve electricity in the country๐
- Go for alternatives
-Completely break down the archaic national grid into regional grids, state grids and mini-grids
-Houses with solar can sell electricity to the estate grids and make money from it

PRESS RELEASE

TINUBU'S LATEST ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY MUST BE RESISTED - AAC STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH AFFECTED POLITICAL PARTIES
The African Action Congress (AAC) condemns the Judicial rascality and political assault on multiparty democracy in Nigeria, following the judgment of Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, ordering the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Accord Party (A), Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
We stand in unwavering solidarity with the affected political Parties.
This development represents a dangerous assault on democracy, further enabling authoritarian control, a leadership style Bola Tinubu is infamous for.
Interestingly, the Plaintiff in this case is a Forum of former legislators, they had earlier endorsed Bola Tinubu as their sole
Presidential candidate. Also, Justice Lifu's decision to grant a judgement, was in flagrant disobedience to a standing Appeal Court order.
At a time when Nigerians are suffering unprecedented hardship, insecurity, unemployment, and state repression, the Tinubu administration appears determined to launch a brutal attack against democracy itself, by undermining the existence of opposition Parties and restricting the rights of citizens to freely organize and participate politically.
The strength of democracy lies in political pluralism, and the ability of citizens to create and support parties that represent their aspirations. Any attempt to extinguish these rights is an attack on the Nigerian people.
The African Action Congress calls on the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), civil society organizations, Labour Unions, Student groups, and all Nigerians of conscience to resist this dangerous precedent. Silence in the face of this attack will only embolden our oppressors to bury what remains of our democracy.
Today it is ADC, Accord, AA, APP, and ZLP. Tomorrow it could be any other opposition Party.
AAC reiterates that Nigeria belongs to its people, not to a ruling clique desperate to eliminate every voice of dissent and political opposition.
We therefore urge all democratic stakeholders to unite in defence of Democracy, it has become our collective responsibility.
Nigerians must resist every attempt to impose a One-Party state through judicial and political manipulation.
