The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.

When you look at the exceptionally creative work of Masters, you must not ignore the years of practice, the endless routines, the hours of doubt, and the tenacious overcoming of obstacles these people endured. Creative energy is the fruit of such efforts and nothing else.

Everything that matters most in life will sometimes bore you.

Your marriage will bore you.
Your career will bore you.
Your kids will bore you.

But boredom isn’t a sign that you chose wrong. It’s a signal that you have chosen to make something more important than your own momentary pleasure. It’s the hidden fee that comes with purpose and meaning.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.

Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.

Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.

Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.

This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?

At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.

It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.

The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.

The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

The moment Nigeria gets balkanized, that's when you'll realize that inside that your Yoruba Ronu, another Ronu dey inside.

Ijebu will start clamoring for regional autonomy in this new Oduduwa republic. Ekiti, Ijesha, Egba etc will all have competing interests.

You know why?

Because before the colonizers came, these people were not fucking...
dancing around in a circle holding hands and weeping with joy about how united in Oduduwa they were.

No.

They were literally putting bullets in each other's bodies and forcing each other into slavery in a multi century back and forth struggle.

There was no "Yoruba" in the homogenous nation state sense of the word.

And what about the middle belt? In Benue state for example, there are dozens (yes, DOZENS) of tribes who don't like each other and will not hesitate to pick up a knives or rifles to settle old scores.

The Fulani and Berom need no introduction.

Even in the core north, many young Hausa are increasingly discontent about the absolute political dominance of the Fulani despite outnumbering them.

Islam can only go so far to quell a people with so much latent resentment.

What about Igbo land?

Some Abia parents won't let their kids marry from the next village.

Anambra people turn up their noses at Ebonyi people and consider them lesser Igbos.

Okay nau.

By the time the "Ebonyi Liberation Movement" picks up EU-supplied rifles now to fight the "tyrants in Awka" everybody mind go dey.

When the "Imo Freedom Army" (IMA) suddenly pop out of nowhere and demand full control of the humongous reserves of natural gas deposits (up to 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas)...

And this same IMA starts bombing government buildings in Enugu and Anambra to get their point across....

Everybody go understand.

What about the South South where I'm from?

The rest of the Edo people most likely will not recognize the "divine" authority of the far away Oba of Benin and could pick up arms to settle their differences.

The Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri and dozens upon dozens of smaller tribes will 100% pick up every weapon they can find to secure the oil for themselves.

So Mr/Mrs. Secessionist, I want you to understand that the problems of neocolonialism, bad governance and bigotry you're running away from in Nigeria will not magically disappear the moment you get Biafra 2.0, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan or any other ethno state.

You will simply plunge this patch of West Africa into a multi pronged civil war that will last many many decades.

Sudan, Libya and Somalia will look like a paradise.

There will be total collapse of supply chains, bandits and terrorists would carve out their own territories and the colonizers will be arming every slack witted tribal chest thumping young man with a rusted AK47 to kill his fellow miserable black man so Mr. Colonizer can keep extracting Lithium, Oil and gold for dirt cheap.

You will waste generations and millions of people will starve to death .

This is one of the reasons I am so so militant about this.

The colonizers forced us together. That is true.

But it's up to us if we want to keep flinging sand and knives at each other, or if we want to work together toward prosperity for our future and our children.

A Nigeria that works for everybody is the way. Toss your stupid Biafra, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan ideas into the trash and light it on fire.

Reported demands made by the terrorists who kidnapped children and teachers in Oyo state:

1. ₦1 billion to be paid into an account in the Benin Republic.
2. Release of terrorists currently held in Agodi and Abolongo Prisons.
3. Two Hilux vehicles.
4. Amendment of Oyo State laws to enforce and introduce sharia law.

For those of you who continue to make excuses for terrorists, who refer to terrorists as your brothers and who applaud this lunatic government when they release these barbaric murderers back into society, please be aware that you will eventually be ruined by this same satanic ideology you endorse.

If you need everything in your life to be simple and safe, this open-ended nature of the task will fill you with anxiety.

If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be jeopardized, then you will never really create anything.

You will unconsciously tether your mind to certain conventions, and your ideas will grow stale and flat.

This is a new world-class hospital completed and built in El Salvador by their president with the equivalent of 85billion naira.

An audit by the nigerian senate uncovered 210 TRILLION naira was “missing” from NNPC in 2017-2023.

Nigerian politicians need to be tied and killed.

@magattew Exactly. The West should stop treating Africa like it desperately needs their help. This is patronizing nonsense.

Frankly, my observation is that the average happiness in a village in Africa is higher than the average happiness in Beverly Hills!
