Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.
When you see that BBC Hausa has sent this female journalist to interview you, then you know something is wrong. I noticed she is not afraid to look powerful people straight in the eyes.
Even a calm and respected leader like Madugu only speaks when he is properly invited and given the floor, unlike her.
The journalist said: “Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, welcome.”
The leader replied: “You are welcome too.”
So today, a leader is replying to a woman as if she were a man. Truly,
Abba, you did not do well.
Ya Rabb, this country!!! Ya Rabb, come to our aid. Free is from our oppressors.
Ya Dhul Jalal Wal Ikram!!!!! Inalilahi waina Ilaehi raji’un. This is tooooo much. Ya Allah

1. They talk to us condescendingly, as if we’re children or ignorant.
2. They expect us to sacrifice work–life balance because they do.
3. The wages simply aren’t livable
4. The work environment is toxic, and they resent us for calling it out.
Wike has been diong this to everybody. Revocking peoples lands and property. He recently did to President Goodluck Jonathan and when he revoked this lands, he realocate them to his friends and cronnies- Deji Adeyanju.
How can you, as a minister, lead armed men and behave unruly toward another officer who is also accompanied by his own armed personnel? Are you not aware that such actions could instigate a national crisis? What if there had been a misfire?
As a minister, you have the authority to call the General directly or delegate your Directors from the ministry to handle matters on-site professionally, if the General was even wrong, you have the courts to deal with him since he’s not above the law or call the President to intervene if you have to, Yet, you chose to display power by personally leading armed men to the location only to be embarrassed by a young gallant officer. Despite all your influence, you were still denied access.
You speak to people without courtesy or restraint, as though respect and decorum no longer matter. Do you think this is Port Harcourt? Even in Port Harcourt, General Sarham dealt with you firmly. Politicians must learn to understand and exercise their power with wisdom, not arrogance.
To everyone who thinks Zohran Mamdani will force New York to be Muslim:
A Muslim has never knocked on my door trying to convince me to convert.
Just saying.
