@MyLordBebo This is truly sad. But the bigger issue is that there are simply too many guns in the hands of too many unstable people. When access to firearms is almost as easy as grabbing a bottle of water, chaos is an inevitable.Freedom shld never be equated with unrestricted access to guns.
@Nairametrics It's about damn time. This should've been 20 years ago at least. But I'm glad at least we are heading in that direction. As a property developer myself, I can't tell you how excited I am with this proposal. The industry needs cleansing. A well structured regulated market is a win
@dawisu@MusadiqZ Me I think there is a power that citizens of this country has that they’ve forgotten how to exercise. Let all constituents of every northern states gather and recall all their elected representatives. Let’s start there first. Every single one of them.

@CurtisHouck@thehill@JuliaManch It’s almost becoming more and more clear that we are in simulation.. nothing is real anymore, the only thing real is the “hurts” what is this? 😳😆
This is a deeply compelling piece, one that no Nigerian can read without confronting an uncomfortable mirror. It forces a pause, a moment of reckoning, where we each, in our own way, must acknowledge a quiet complicity in the machinery that has slowed our collective progress. Not necessarily through grand acts of wrongdoing, but through everyday compromises, silences, and choices shaped by survival, loyalty, and circumstance.
And yet, it would be too simplistic and perhaps unfair to place the full weight of blame on the individual. Whether one’s allegiance leans toward country, ethnicity, or faith, the truth is that most of us are navigating systems we did not create. We inherited fractures we did not design, biases we did not consciously choose, and structures that often reward division more than unity. In that sense, we are not just actors in the story we are also its products.
But acknowledging this should not become an excuse for stagnation. If anything, it should deepen our sense of responsibility. Because while we may not have authored the past, we are undeniably shaping the future through what we tolerate, what we challenge, and what we choose to build or rebuild.
History reminds us that strong national identities are not accidental. They are forged over decades, even centuries through shared struggle, difficult conversations, accountability, and a gradual alignment of values that transcend tribe, creed, and immediate self-interest. Nations that endure are those that learn, often painfully, how to see themselves as a collective “we” rather than fragmented “us versus them.”
Perhaps the real question, then, is not who is to blame, but who is willing to take responsibility going forward. Change does not always begin with sweeping reforms, sometimes it begins with smaller, quieter shifts. Choosing integrity when it is inconvenient, demanding accountability without bias, and placing the idea of a shared future above narrow gains. Gimba call it as is without leaning or projecting blame towards on party and it resonate with of us.
If we are indeed products of our circumstances, then we must also become the architects of new ones.
@ElofsonJess Even if Trump changes his mind not to carry out his threat I can guarantee you Israel will do it once the deadline crosses, so you are right we are at the point of no return. Brace yourselves folks, we are at the point of no return. Good luck to us all.
