I don’t know why people forget I am still a surgeon, since I got the NDC House of Representative ticket for Surulere 1. People call me Honorable and have removed the surgeon from my name, anyway Saturday I had endoscopic sinus surgery by 7am and by evening I became a politician
@Taiwo_junzi Stop capping. That woman looks obese, she’s nowhere near the normal BMI range.
He who lives in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones. Calling Nigerian women all sorts of names unprovoked just for Elon’s money or whatever reason is pure stupidity and you displayed it perfectly.
I hate that I have to speak on this issue, but I think many people need to adopt the thinking-talking approach in writing and speaking. Think about it before you say it.
There was no generalisation for the achievements of Obasanjo. There was no generalisation for that of the Kutis. Prof. Osinbajo's incredible credentials have never elicited "Yoruba are outstanding people". Sowore is always on the system's throat, but Sowore isn't Yoruba enough to warrant being used as a part of the whole.
Examples abound in every walk of life, but suddenly, President Tinubu is our complete representation, and we must take the fall for his wrongs.
One thing is certain. Or two, even;
1. I owe nobody an apology for my tribe;
2. I will call out individual misbehaviour, but if you ever want me to throw my group or class under the bus to appear ideal to you, you'd need a billion lifetimes for that.
And you cannot afford it.
Can you imagine the tribalism and chaos that would consume these European nations (overlaid with the map of Nigeria) if they were to be "forcefully amalgamated" into one country?
The true size of Nigeria's problems.
Today I decided to show how much it costs me to buy my weekly fruits. I love eating fruit and trying to live healthy… but that’s by the way. The real story is the cost.
My fruit shopping came to £50.87. If you convert that to naira, that’s roughly ₦94,000.
Now, if I wanted to gaslight Nigerians, I could easily say something like: “Nigerians don’t appreciate what they have. This same fruit would cost less than ₦20k in Nigeria.” That would give the impression that food is cheaper in Nigeria than in the UK.
But that would be a half truth, or what some people like to call being smart by half.
Here’s the part people conveniently leave out.
The minimum wage in the UK is about £12.44 per hour. That means someone earning minimum wage needs less than 5 hours of work to afford that £50 fruit basket.
And before someone says it, yes, if you’re on minimum wage here you’re probably shopping in Lidl or Aldi, not casually loading £50 worth of fruit into your trolley like a wellness influencer. But that’s beside the point.
Now let’s look at Nigeria.
Let’s assume that same fruit basket really costs ₦20,000. Sounds cheap, right?
Nigeria’s minimum wage is ₦70,000 per month. That translates to roughly ₦337 per hour.
So to buy that same ₦20k fruit basket, a minimum wage worker would need to work almost 60 hours. That’s about 6½ full working days.
Think about that for a moment.
Someone in the UK doing the same type of low income job works about 5 hours to buy it. Someone in Nigeria may need almost a full week of work.
So when people start comparing prices to gaslight you and say petrol is $4 in the US or fuel is £1.80 in the UK, ask them one simple question.
How does that compare to people’s income?
Because price without income context is just propaganda with numbers.
Now let’s take it one step further.
In the UK, the minimum wage is about £12.44 per hour and the Prime Minister earns around £83 per hour. That is roughly a £70 difference per hour.
In Nigeria, the minimum wage is about ₦337 per hour and the President earns about ₦6,770 per hour before allowances.
That is a difference of about ₦6,433 per hour.
In percentage terms, the UK Prime Minister earns about 577% more per hour than minimum wage.
Nigeria’s President earns about 1,570% more per hour than minimum wage.
And that is before we even talk about the endless allowances, benefits, convoys, security votes, and other mysterious expenses that seem to multiply like rabbits.
So the question is not whether things are cheap or expensive.
The real question is how long the average citizen has to work to afford them.
Because when people must work days for what others can buy in hours, something deeper is wrong.
I’ll leave you with this.
“Until all are free, all are enslaved.”
@lekky29 @RaymondIta3 @InibeheEffiong No, that's a description of your pathetic, miserable existence, motherfucker. The country can stay in ruins, people can keep dying and living below poverty line for all you useless, godforsaken bastards care.
I knew a guy that taught lesson to secondary school kids years ago, especially students preparing for waec and JAMB.
He was good. Testimonies from his students confirmed how good he was. Even the parents of his students confirmed it.
Tunde runs an NGO. And so what?
Why is Tunde running an NGO in the first place, because some of think NGO is a wonderful idea. You have no idea that the more NGOs around you, the more worried you should be.
NGOs exist in the first because of leadership failure. No one deserves to rely on the benevolence of another to become a useful human being. That’s not humanity.
Humanity is the idea that everyone’s life is dignified. And there’s nothing dignifying about waiting for a Good Samaritan to save you under Oshodi bridge. You should have never been under Oshodi bridge in the first place.
Here we are trying solve why you were under Oshodi bridge to begin with, because we can recognize that your situation was a design of someone else.
We now know that it is the Western empire and their puppets like Tinubu that are keeping you under Oshodi bride.
Now there’s a guy Tunde who wants to save your from Oshodi bridge, but he ends up getting help from those who put you in that position. First the main actors themselves (he visited their embassy the other day), now their puppet (Tinubu).
How the f… do you think this is a normal arrangement? Like this something we should celebrate this??
It’s like you are battling diabetes and you are prescribed some drugs to take, but you look at the drug and discover it’s completely made with sugar (the source of your problem). No be juju be that.
Even tho the intention of the physician was to help, but they are not actually going to help. It is impossible that they help.
I don’t why this isn’t clear enough for everyone to understand.
Mind you this NGO rubbish in Nigeria is mostly a front to be relevant & siphon money because if you really care about these kids & what they are passing through, you will abhor the government who are the reason for their pathetic lives. But you don’t really care, you are just
“They are selling fake to you” because I saw some of his other bottles that looks fake
“This looks fake” then I attached a video comparing mine to it.
