Dear @NEMANigeria,
This is an urgent call from Kano. Please come to the aid of Singer Market, the biggest and most important commodity market in the North, where a devastating inferno has been raging and spreading across the market. The scale of the fire, which has continued for hours with no clear sign of stopping, calls for immediate emergency intervention from you.
Kindly share this message.
These are the Muslims kidnapped by the Terrorists in Kwara State. We have repeatedly called out the failed govt, and we will continue to do so.

Dear @JaafarSJaafar,
Everyone knows that you are not the best person to decide for anyone, especially for someone who is clearly more educated than you on matters of the world and matters of God, what such a person should or should not do. At best, what you have offered is nothing more than the loud opinion of a serial cynic who enjoys throwing stones without building anything.
Your position sounds less like thoughtful analysis and more like the familiar grumbling of someone who prefers noise to nuance. If your argument truly holds water, then it should have applied consistently in the past. When Pantami was appointed a Minister, he was publicly addressed & recognized as Sheikh, Dr, Professor, and Honorable Minister all at the same time. Your immature logic did not surface then. That appointment did not prevent him from continuing his scholarship, his preaching, or his intellectual contributions. In fact, he excelled. History has already recorded him as the best minister that ministry ever had, not because he abandoned faith, but because he carried competence, discipline, and clarity into public service. You seem comfortable suggesting that Nigeria would be better served by drunkards, morally bankrupt characters, and known thieves, so long as they fit your crude stereotype of what a politician should look like. If this is not your position, then kindly explain how a preacher automatically becomes unfit for leadership, while proven failures and criminals are repeatedly recycled and celebrated.
Your attempt at wit, including your choice of metaphors and your so called βsadakar yallaβ comparison, comes across not as sharp satire but as playground mockery, and display of folly. It reads like the frustration of someone who wants to sound clever but ends up sounding petty. Reducing politics to theft, lies, and indecency only exposes how low your own expectations have become. If politics is indeed grimy, then people with values should be encouraged to enter it and clean it, not chased away by armchair commentators who profit from permanent outrage.
The idea that moral clarity cannot coexist with political leadership is one of the most destructive lies ever sold to Nigerians. It is this thinking that has kept terrible people in power and pushed capable, principled individuals to the sidelines. You speak as though corruption is a job requirement, when in truth it is a symptom of poor leadership and weak character.
It is hard not to notice that people like you appear more comfortable watching the country be ruled by disastrous characters than supporting anyone who threatens the status quo. This posture is even more troubling given that you are speaking from exile, far from the daily consequences of the failures you seem eager to normalize. Nigerians deserve better than recycled incompetence and fashionable cynicism; they deserve leaders with intellect, conscience, and courage, whether those leaders preach on a pulpit or speak from a podium.
