Don’t let a slow beginning make you doubt a great ending. A lot of successful people started with nothing but a small idea and the courage to keep going.
Nigeria fit turn contradiction to survival skill. Na the hard truth.
This country dey force people to perform madness to survive. You go see person preach resistance, justice, Pan Africanism, anti capitalism for mouth, but once power, access, or family name enter, dem go defend privilege with teeth and bone. Not because dem no know better, but because Nigeria punish softness.
For Nigeria, morality dey expensive. Dignity dey luxury. If you no harden, system go finish you. So people adapt. Dem cosplay activism when e cheap, and switch to bigmanism when survival demand am. Na conditioning, not coincidence.
Nigeria dey reward shamelessness. E dey punish consistency. E dey mock principles. E dey teach people say might is right, connection pass competence, and violence dey louder than argument. Over time, even good people bend. Some snap. Some rot quietly.
This na why you fit see idealistic people return from abroad and slowly lose shame. Nigeria recalibrate their compass. When society no get baseline decency, everybody dey negotiate their values daily.
So yes.
Nigeria no just bring out the worst in some people.
E dey demand am as survival strategy.
Until the system change, hypocrisy go remain adaptive behavior, not moral failure.

The unfortunate and dishonourable drama witnessed in Ibom Air has again brought to the fore the double standards in our lives and the inadequacies of our various security operatives in acting decently and in a civilised manner.
I want to start by sincerely apologising to the Ibom Air crew who were assaulted by Miss Comfort Emmanson. We must, as a society, learn and uphold good conduct, as it is a true measure of success and decent living.
However, I must equally strongly condemn the dehumanising treatment meted out to this young woman. Stripping her publicly was not only unnecessary but also represents the height of rascality and abuse by our agencies. It is unacceptable that she was hurriedly taken to court and remanded, while someone who visibly held a plane from taking off and put hundreds of lives at risk is still at large, with government agencies and some state officials speaking up for him to be forgiven.
This case is not just about one young woman, it is about the double standards that poison our justice system. Justice in Nigeria must never be about who is poor or powerless versus who has influence or access to government officials.
While Ms. Comfort Emmanson is in jail, the other offender who committed a more severe offence has not been held to the same standard. He has neither been arrested nor arraigned in any court.
We must build a country where justice is fair, equal, and not selective, especially against women who are seen to be weaker. This young lady’s offence does not compare to the crimes committed daily by those parading themselves as “excellencies” while looting public funds without consequence, and yet they have not been stripped or dehumanised in the name of justice.
We must end this selective treatment of the poor or less privileged. If justice must be served, it should be served to all, and it must be served fairly. The Minister of Aviation and other relevant authorities owe the public an explanation for these double standards in their adjudication.
Justice must be just, or it is nothing at all.
The rule of law based on justice for all must remain the guidepost of our democracy.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
