Maybe clarity isn't something we find.

Maybe it's what we've been interrupting.

Patriarchy’s greatest move is getting women to enforce it on each other,now men don’t even have to say anything. Women in your life will do it,women in the market and on the internet will do it. The constant surveillance gets crowdsourced and they think they are helping you.

It's interesting how quickly we adapt to things that don't actually serve us.

You can't change what you've normalized.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

So I attended the police “invite” and saw the petition written against I and @PurityAddereth, the other victim was indeed by @chowdeck and defended by @OlaniwunAjayiLP lawyer @OdiaseYehoshua. In my opinion, the petition is an attempt to put us away, and silence us. The petition accused us their victims of trying to bomb their offices, kill their workers, specifically Victor, their Lagos operations manager and that we were a danger to all their workers and riders. These charges written there were conspiracy, threat to life and cyber bullying. But the makeup of the charges add up to nothing short of terrorism. This is why I said an attempt to put us away. The sentence for those can be similar to treason and attract a life sentence. They equated a writer, editor and publisher, and a fashion designer using their right to free speech after suffering gruesome damage, to people who can bomb their offices and kill their workers nation wide. You see where this is going with the cyber crime act? When I tell you this is an attack on all of us, our right to freedom of speech, dessent and criticism. Tell me how TF I am going to bomb anywhere when I need help bathing?

This is an abuse of the police process and a weaponization of the cybercrime act to punish dissent, criticism and free speech against writers, journalists and citizens as so many civil and human rights and other organizations have noted, including the US embassy, UK embassy, etc. so I will exhort to you all Nigerians and all in the international community to write to these embassies and ambassadors to see how this issue they have complained about is being used in this case to oppress what is Africa’s most decorated SFF writer-editor-publisher, including many others. You can write to them at these addresses in the pictures attached here,and handles below. Write to these international organizations to sanction through visas and other processes all those, persons and organizations in and of the Nigerian state, weaponizing the cybercrime act to silence criticism and free speech. The voice of everyone of us matters and free speech and the instruments of democracy must be protected.

Their CEO @LordBinary_'s address says San Francisco via X. You can't be in a place where you enjoy free speech, while bullying others here and stiffling their own by abusing the apparatus of law that is being misused to ruin this country further. So you all should write to the US and other embassies and state departments, all interested in protecting and punishing the violation of free speech and the instruments of democracy, to look into this. Unless this is now Russia or China. @USinNigeria @HCCanNigeria @UKinNigeria @RMontgomeryUK @NorAmbNigeria @HCSalvaggio

And I want you all to join your voices in insisting that Chowdeck

1. Show the public the petition they filed
2. Withdraw it formally
3. Issue a written apology
4. Release a public statement taking accountability

5. Call for the repealing of the Cybercrime act

Have you noticed the fact that Chowdeck, it's CEO hasn't said anything? What company accused of things these serious, for four months now, with a full pr department and board cannot say a word, even to the public actively demanding answers.

And to be clear, I attribute my accident and spinal fracture to the failures of Chowdeck and it's team. Feb 14 when I suffered the accident was a day when their love rush promo was in effect. They deliberately instigated a process that heightened movement and traffic without putting guardrails on this “rush”. One of the leading causes of accidents is fatigue. There are not enough guard rails on how many hours a rider can work. If anything they seem to instigate more activity, more “rush”. And that particular day, they did even more so. I blame the company, and @LordBinary_ . And until they take responsibility in all the ways they should, I will not stop speaking about this. And I will not be silenced. We must fight this, and the cybercrime act.
