Nigerians are praying, while their politicians loot away their future.

₦60 billion there. ₦120 trillion here. Billions disappear, generations pay the price.

And somehow, we’re still waiting for God to fix what we keep allowing men to destroy.

A colloquium is an academic conference, seminar, or formal meeting where experts, scholars, or students gather to discuss a specific topic, present research, and engage in question-and-answer sessions.

In Nigeria, every political rally is a colloquial colloquium

To Nigerians supporting this bad governance: “you will serve these politicians’ children, carry their bags for them, and your children will still be serving their children’s children.”

They’re still quiet cos they haven’t been briefed yet on how to spin the narrative to defend Umahi and the coastal road. Right now they’re totally ashamed of the govt they support, but once they get briefing they will come out to help spin the story.

[Uncle Ruckus @Emarged]

The most depressing thing about Nigeria is that the citizens are not asking for anything extraordinary. They are simply asking for things other countries figured out generations ago.

@Hassanolalekan3 @MrMekzy_ And what is the tax for?

[Osarogie Ogbonmwan @Osarogieee]

The world has left us behind in multiple ways, things as basic as running water in your kitchens we don’t have, yet the one you’re passionate about is governor that can speak your language. 😭

[Fola @Folarin_AA]

If Seyi Tinubu cannot speak Yoruba fluently but decides to run for governor in this same Lagos, the same people piling on GRV for not being fluent in Yoruba will go back on their words. They have no honor. Don't let anybody whine you.

[Bolanle Ashiru @bolanle_ashiru]

Thank you

[Osarogie Ogbonmwan @Osarogieee]

My last thoughts on this GRV speaking fluently, YOU DO NOT CARE. 🫵🏽

“Only two sets of people can follow or believe in APC: a mischievous person or a liar, and a very sick person.” ~ A Yoruba woman says.

Pre 2023 one of the propaganda from the Ronus was that Tinubu knows how to assemble intelligent cabinets 😂😂.

Baba came and appointed 48 Ministers out which 43 were on EFCC list for theft😂😂
AN ASSEMBLY OF THIEVES

[Ez @Slime4L10]

Lagos has never been this dirty but hey my governor speaks fluent Yoruba

[Alhaji @yeankhar]

“GRV had 4 years to learn Yoruba and he didn’t”

Your current government had 11 years to prepare for governance especially on how to handle subsidy since they protested against Jonathan in 2012, but look at the nonsense they’re doing.

[Hadassah|Al workflow and Agents 💻 @iretiayo_queen]

How many times did sanwoolu address you people in Yoruba ???

Abi which kind of stupid people did God put in this country???

[Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour @GRVlagos]

Dear Lagosians, This is my promise to you.
I will never in any language tell you to live in your parents house as an answer to the expensive rents and housing deficit.
Instead we will work tirelessly to deliver a 100,000 units of housing that are not only accessible but truly affordable.
Enact laws that protect tenants and create an agency to investigate and enforce said laws.

I will never in any language tell you that Traffic is a lifestyle.

Instead we will deliver the entire rail network in 2years by opening the project to private sector procurement. Our focus will not be how to pad or steal money it would be on making movement in lagos more effective and affordable.

I will never in any language tell you that we do not know or understand how much waste is being generated in Lagos state, neither will we tell you to go back to you village when you complain about the state of the enviroment .

We will rid the waste management system of the corruption and racketeering that has left lagos covered in filth. We will create a waste to energy and waste to wealth value chain. We will build out proper sewage processing facilities and empower local governments to participate in waste management.

Lastly under no circumstance will any public official boast about expensive watches whilst so many struggle in poverty.

My promise to you is high impact governance, actions you will feel, because Actions speak far louder than words.

If it flood in Lagos next year, I think the solution will be for the sitting governor to speak Yoruba to the water, like Moses did to the river, the flood will retrace.

The master plan.

[Mr. Anu @Anu_official]

That you don’t see how deeply rooted in tribalism this conversation is, is part of the problem.

Did Buhari understand Yoruba before the same “uneducated” people you’re defending voted for him in SW? And please, miss me with the “presidency is different from governance” argument. At the end of the day, people experience governance from the top down.

I’m not saying GRV is the most competent candidate. I’m saying screen people based on capability, competence and record, not how fluently they speak an ethnic language. Otherwise, we’re just recycling the same tribalism that has held us back for generations.

[Omar little @_ManLikeAJ]

how can a country sell crude oil actively for over 66 years and still be in abject poverty?

[Mr. Anu @Anu_official]

It’s embarrassing that in 2026, we’re debating whether someone who understands a language but doesn’t speak it should be considered fit to govern a state.

Not their record. Not their competence. Not their capacity to lead. An ethnic language.

People hold elected office across the world without speaking every local language, but here we’re still using language and ethnicity to screen people for public office.

At this rate, when exactly do we break free from tribalism?
