Nigeria rewards extreme and shuns moderation.
If u r moderate olodo, u will live a poor miserable life, but if u r extreme olodo, u will be invited as panellist, or paid millions to singing political jingles.

Deschamps has brashly taken all of his best players and fashioned them into the most lethal attacking unit in world football, sure.
But do they have the squad balance, leadership and cohesion provided by the likes of Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson and Anthony Gordon? I think not.
Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
Guys please I want everybody to know that it is not a normal occurrence for kidnappers to stroll into schools, kidnap students and teachers and behead the teacher and the leadership of the country is quiet about it, trust me it’s not a normal thing politics aside!
So people on TikTok are calling out a rice mill built in a residential area in kano, their kids are getting sick because of the waste coming out of the mill. Tell me why the child of the company owner is asking them “nawa kuke kawo wa gomnati” i dunno if it’s stark illiteracy or
Just last month, a young promising HO died after he was beaten up by patient’s relatives. I doubt the facility he worked in observed a minute of silence for him as a collective. Today, it’s a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Let’s keep being diplomatic & not protect our own.
First was Erisco, then Rainbow hairs now Bon bread and this rubbish book author
One thing has been consistent in all these case : the Nigerian police is available to be bought and used by the highest bidder
We had people with PhD saying “even if he presents nepa bill as certificate,I’ll vote for him” in 2015 and you want a country like this to reward academic excellence 😂😂
