This is all I saw in this video. An older senator bullying a respondent in the name of 'oversight duty'. Let him talk. Let him land, then you can scrutinize.
This is obviously a bully; he’s been intimidated. I don’t get why no one is seeing it. Why is he not allowed to express himself? This is wrong in every shade. We run too quickly into conclusions in this country without sufficient Information and investigation
Kwara state govt posted about the First Lady birthday and not only that, the First Lady celebrated her birthday overseas with huge party while people were kidnapped and killed in woro community. Kwara state that the fraudulent lawyer almost used as a yardstick for Seyi Makinde ooo
“I haven't gone home from work for days because of this terrible road. I only came back today to pick up a few things, but now I'm stuck again at Oke Aro. I have to remove my shoes to move forward.” – Ogun State resident laments
Will anyone blame this young man if he decides to pick up a gun and fight back.
No wonder terrorism and banditry persists.
This explains why bandiry has come to stay
You can never have a better Nigeria with these set of leaders. No nation rises above the intelligence of its leaders. - Revd. Taiwo Opajobi.

Supporting bad governance because it benefits you today is a dangerous gamble.
Many think they can dine with the devil using a long spoon. Sooner or later, the spoon disappears, and they realise they were never exempt from the consequences.
A broken system eventually serves everyone the same meal.
So SEYI MAKINDE is a bad person for organizing his presidential candidacy adoption process, a process that must happen so he will be able to submit his name to INEC, and without doing that he will not be able to contest if the time elapses.
But Tinubu is a great leader for participating in his primary in election that’s just some KMs away from the venue of the incident but never thought he was supposed to visit the scene. A man who is the commander in chief of the federation.
Oya nau.
Amotekun has been deliberately sidelined. Personal control now takes precedence over our collective ancestral interests. Institutions are being weakened while strongmen are empowered. What is the purpose of creating a regional security outfit if billions can be funneled to Sunday Igboho under the guise of a "security contract"? Institution building and political patronage cannot coexist. At some point, people must decide whether they stand for sustainable structures or personality cults. Time to RONU.
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.
1. We need good leaders not political strategists.
2. We need good men who can lead, administer resources efficiently & w/ integrity, and men who can navigate political situations with the kind of deft that rewards not just the selfish interests of a few but those of the people.
