humility is important. with others, yes. but also with oneself. to accept that one does not know nearly enough, but not in a self-deprecating way. simply an acknowledgement that there is still acres and acres of knowledge to uncover.

Kids in Congo have to do this so that kids in America and the West can be professional streamers.

This is now their 40th Day as prisoners and hostages of terrorists. 40 Days of Cold nights, no change of clothes, poor physical care, emotional trauma, abuse and constant fear! Ah!!😭😭😭. God!!!!
This is soul sinking!!! 40 DAYS!!!

This is why when faced with Sankara's dilemma of 'water for all or champagne for a few', smart nations always choose water for all.

Because when everyone has a solid baseline, the elite can truly thrive and become exceptional. Their "champagne" can be meaningful.

But when most people are dirt poor, the elite become stupid, mediocre bastards who cannot pave their own roads, organise their own garbage collection, and prevent their own Ikoyi from regular flooding, constant foul odour, and mosquito infestation.

Charterhouse my ass.

Consciously even. You’re taught to NOT stand up to power.

[🍒 @nimibillions]

they’re calling the names and ages of the children in captivity on the radio, and i wanted to change it for a split second cause of how uncomfortable it made me feel, but imagine how much worse these children from as little age TWO! feel during this time.

what a failed state.

[ASA | THE SOCIAL MEDIA PROTÉGÉ 🐦‍🔥 @mayo_naisee]

This bandit situation has evolved into a full fledged Fulani xenophobia and very soon we won’t be able to find the thin line btw staying vigilant and wrongfully lynching innocent Fulani individuals.
This is what this government has done

[Jola @Jollz]

Our language around governance is so interesting in Nigeria. We talk like when someone wins an election, the money and resources of the state become their personal largesse and any progress or work that happens is because they’re kind enough to “dash” us.

[Barbir @Alex_Barbir]

The guy who put a bounty on a pastors head for blasphemy is saying the north is framed for wrong doing😂 you can’t make these types of things up. Would think this is a joke.

[a @_theakin]

tough. don’t see how we’re escaping this descent, and that’s scary. for someone who grew up around fulani people, i’m surprised by how unsettled even i have become by many. know not everyone is bad but you can’t tell who is not bad. perfect conditions for irrationality to fester.

[Nans @nansbello]

I spoke about this months ago. The way Nigerians are speaking about Fulani people is very much tilting towards genocidal language. People are so angry that they don’t even realize how harmful that stereotype is.

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

They will always hate social media because it’s reveals their secrets

If not for social media media how would we all discover that media aide to politicians have all your electoral data

And you want us the trust INEC

[SMALLIE @the_smallie]

[yuyu⭐️ @cybxrartist]

You say “China is exploiting Africa” and people say “So you love Western imperialism?” What’s wrong with people 😭😭😭

MAKE THE HANGING PUBLIC

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

Lol there will be no revisionism.

The truth is that the smoke reached the South b/c the North refused to put out the fire. We don't get to look down South & smirk, "it's finally happening to you,"to say that requires a level of blindness we can no longer afford.

The Northern establishment spent yrs coddling this crisis. How many people even admitted there was a "Northern problem" in the first place? For a long time, the strategy wasn't to confront the rot, but to mask it under the guise of political correctness & regional solidarity using religion as a mesh.

There's no form of insecurity in the North that didn’t find a significant Northern bloc of politicians, clerics, & natives defending, justifying, and supporting it. We literally watched active, decisive attempts at destroying Boko Haram get sabotaged from within under the banner of "you're killing our brothers."

Ironically, Southerners were often some of the most vocal voices sounding the alarm against Northern insecurity. They understood a fundamental truth that our leadership chose to ignore : you cannot be part of a single body & watch a limb rot with gangrene, expecting the rest of the organs to stay safe. Eventually, the sepsis spreads to the heart. We are in "SIRS" now.

The Northern elite silenced the alarms and coddled the arsonists. We are not going to pretend even for one second about this reality because if we do, we will not find any way forward.

it is things like this that remind you nigeria is ngmi.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

I just saw this video of Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and his wife gifting Kano women plates as a relief/empowerment package.

A lot of the absurd things that happen in Nigeria cannot be imagined elsewhere!✍️

“Let’s not blame the government. They are working hard. Sometimes the army can enter the forest and something will blind their eye that they won’t see the terrorists. All we need is prayer”.

This is the same fool here:

[Imade. @ImadeIyamu]

@asemota Yup. If you win, even your worst & dumbest methods will become a case study to follow. If you don’t win, everything you did is a cautionary tale no matter how perfect & smart.

[Emeka @Emeneks]

I can’t believe the kind of person I’m becoming 😭

[Chief Designer @je_mc2]

That's not what's happening. What's happening is far worse.

[Oluwaseun @officialtelz]

“Let’s keep praying”

As though the innocent Christians in the Owo church were playing ludo
