That is what I want to see on the news. That is what should be trending. Not because it changes the facts, but because it reminds us that these are not statistics. They are children.
Children were kidnapped from their school in Oyo State, and as of today, it still does not feel personal for a lot of people.
Many of us do not even know the name of the school. We have not heard from the teachers about what the school was like, the children who attended it, …
A constant profile of these children is what we should be seeing. A boy or a girl, the dreams they had, the stories their parents and friends tell about them, and how all of that has been abruptly put on hold by this tragedy.
or the community it served. Where are the interviews with their parents? Where are the stories about who these children are—their names, ages, dreams, favourite subjects, and the lives waiting for them at home?
@umeh_angus How can you solve a car fuel economy problem? I’m looking at improving mine. Though, my front engine manifold catalyst is missing, while the one under the car is present and still good. Are there other ways of imporovjng fuel consumption?
News Flash 📰
- A very touching story -
My father has been in captivity for nearly six months. We already paid the kidnappers ₦30 million as ransom, yet they are now demanding an additional ₦150 million. Sadly, we have no money left, and the government has not offered us any assistance.
Whenever they call, we hear them beating and torturing him. He is ill, cries in pain, and they constantly threaten to kill him. — Saifullahi, son of Hon. Alhassan Bawa Niworo, former NSUBEB Chairman of Niger State who was abducted by kidnappers.
@thecavemommy It’s all about patterns. When you extend multiplication patterns consistently into negatives the answers have to flip signs to stay logical. If it didn’t the pattern would break but it doesn’t. Attached is a screenshot I hope that explains the pattern.
'A Brief Disagreement' by Steve Cutts is a brilliant animated short depicting a visual journey into mankind's favourite pastime throughout the ages.
Meaning — humanity's inclination to fight each other.
@obehi29@chude__ I’d still love a counter-argument — and how we as Nigerians can learn from this and benefit. The real question is: how do we tap into this insane wealth, or do we resist and face the mighty forces against us, both within and outside the country?
@obehi29@chude__ Brilliant perspective. I agree — especially on how external powers keep Nigeria in this cycle. A true level playing field with meritocracy enshrined would be a seismic shift. It would also cut off wealth/resources to the West, plus the debt traps and interests tying us down.

What about you?
@obehi29@chude__ In your last paragraph about Nigeria’s slow death, did you mean the economy & politics are so tied to patronage, monopolies & federal character that true competition would destabilize the system? Deep point — I’d love to see a counter-argument.
