"The combination of the title and this interest-piquing opening line immediately implies that the entire book is solely about buttocks and plastic surgery. It would be wise to refrain from judging this story by its opening line." - @_theamena

Religion has destroyed Nigeria down to the middle, and I honestly don’t care who gets angry hearing this. We would be far better off without it.

Right now, religion isn't functioning as a moral compass; it has mutated into a coping mechanism for bad governance and a poverty trap for the desperate. It acts as a sedative that keeps the population numb to the harsh reality of our failing state, convincing people to endure suffering as a "test" rather than demanding the quality of life they deserve.

Look at the state of our economy: we are unable to produce anything tangible in this country aside from "prayers." A nation cannot simply pray its way out of an economic collapse. While the rest of the world is innovating, building systems, and creating value, we are stuck in endless vigils hoping for a miracle to do what strategic planning and hard work are supposed to do.

Ultimately, religion didn't save Nigeria; it distracted us while the country was being looted dry. If we spent half the time and energy we waste in religious houses actually holding our leaders accountable, we would be lightyears ahead of where we are now.

I don't think people appreciate Nigeria's maternal mortality risk enough that's why this surprises them.

We account for almost 30% of all global maternal deaths despite having only about 2.6% of the world's population.

A Nigerian woman has a 1 : 25 lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes, for comparison, the risk in developed countries is 1 :4900.

This equates to approximately 205 women dying every day, or one woman every seven minutes.

If there's a high rate of maternal mortality, it almost always follows with a high rate of perinatal/under 5 mortality.

Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries to be pregnant, give birth, or be a newborn/infant.

These are systemic issues that we can't wish away. If we like, we can continue to focus on petty tribal/ethnic conflicts instead of holding our leaders accountable.

A lead toxicity crisis is unfolding in Ogijo, Lagos. People are coughing black substance and kids having seizures. The government isn’t saying anything about it.

Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately.

I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m.

No ticket, no Slack, no communication.

Just silent action.

I asked the office if anyone had fixed it.

Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard.

I pulled him aside afterward.

He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.”

I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description.

He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue.

I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue.

I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.

I love how everyone is doing outrage on this tweet.
But conveniently forgot how someone was pushed down a building a few weeks ago because of this sensitive issue.

It’s Hypocrisy at its finest

Nigerians are demanding #JusticeForOchanya, a 13-year-old who was allegedly raped repeatedly by her uncle and his son.

[Ese thee nutritionist @itschargiee]

I haven’t been able to find the words.
All I can do now is to retweet

[xoefyaa @xo_efyaa]

They’ve found the judge who dismissed Ochanya’s case as not enough evidence even with police and medical report

[FAVE @faveszn]

vexed within my spirit. I want to do more than tweet for ochanya. I want the perpetrators to suffer

There are wayyyy too many sexual assault cases of little girls in the news, man. All of them by men they trusted. It's so hard not to develop apathy and just shut down. Because how is it getting worse year in year out????
