Where are the idiots who were just replying @phoebe_pam and others regards the killings in the middle belt?
For starters, these are TERRORISTS.
They are speaking Fulani and also chanting "Allahu Akbar" (for those of us who grew up in the northeast,
Nigeria has been a hotbed of Christian persecution for a long time. In January, 2021, gunmen kidnapped a Catholic seminarian Michael Nnadi from Good Shepherd seminary in Kaduna, and later killed him for refusing to denounce his faith in Jesus Christ.

- Around 300 people injured
Where is the international community?
Make these screenshots go viral before they delete them. Nigerians deserve to be safe and protected in their country. We are tired of the terrorist attacks going on in different parts of the country.
I am shocked by the recent report of the planned demolition of about 200 houses in the Nuwalege community in Abuja, to make way for the Presidential Fleet.
Voters registration process towards 1993 general election. I was listed to work as adhoc staff for the NEC at AUD primary school, Ososami, Ibadan. I got the gig through a primary school teacher who wanted to "help" me and my mum then. My mum being an "S U" said she wasn't interested but I went.
I noticed that anytime residents of the area come to the venue to register, we always tell them there are no registration cards. People will complain about government and NEC not being ready for the process, and all but we actually have those cards. They are being kept by the adhoc staff. So, in a day, out of 100 booklets that we got from NEC, we will end up issuing a maximum of 20 booklets. After closing in the evening, the older adhoc staff (they were all primary school teachers) will go somewhere with the remaining booklets. We will meet the following day and continue from where we stopped yesterday. It was like this for about 3 weeks.
One day, one of the teachers told me I would follow them to where they always go to after we close. I never knew where, but I know they always go to the place. So after we closed, we headed to Molete, which was my first time entering Baba Adedibu's house.
From the gate, you will think the place is a palace or government secretariat because there were lots of people. We went inside and went straight to a corner, and then the teachers I followed brought out all the voters registration cards that we claimed we didn't have in the afternoon, and "work" started! They brought out their classroom attendance register, and we were writing primary school pupils name on the voters registration cards. Two people were also thumbprinting.
Like 2 hours into the "work", Baba Adedibu came out to check on people working and after the greetings, he said "E ku ise ilu o" (well done for doing the community work). It sounds strange to me because as young as I was, I knew that was not "Ise Ilu", it was fraud, but I don't even have a say. We finished and handed the booklets to the person who was collecting it. They wrote down the names of our own coordinator, and we left.
When I got home, I narrated the whole story to my mum and being an "S U", she stopped me from going the following day. I never got paid for the job or whatever Baba Adedibu paid the teachers. Since then, I knew Nigeria was a crime scene, and that is why I always call out civil servants, too. They are part of the corruption ravaging this country.
Even as I am still studying the 2024 fiscal budget as presented to the National Assembly last week, I cannot wait as I am compelled to ask : what is exactly wrong with us as a country?

My friend A NIGERIAN, not an alien from space, let me know he sold his company to Oracle in 2005 for $120m when I kept complaining about how DFIs are the new missionaries and how they are skewing our African investment scene. He went abroad (like Musk) and then built and sold.
@fasc1nate In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.
Tinubu has signed the 2023 Supplementary budget to buy a Presidential Yacht.
The yacht is imported, so the cost is in $ not Naira
The budget is deficit-funded thus Nigeria is borrowing $ to import a foreign yacht that will add NOTHING to GDP or economic productivity
Is the problem revenue or wasteful spending?
If you think your state government has collapsed and failed woefully, wait till you hear the story of Zamfara State.
Yes the Z state, the state that proudly carry last in every developmental goal in Nigeria..
I didn't make this up, just listen and watch 👇👇👇.
Also don't forget that the alleged culprit at the helm of affairs while all this happened is still roaming free as a Minister !!
What is new to say, Nigerians don’t react to anything. Has any politician told you he is not a thief? Which politician told you he went to university, which politician told you she served in NYSC, and which politician told you he has his certificate?

Do you know what a Nigerian Governor is?
1. You are given free cash every month to spend, you don't have to generate any revenue. no receipts are required
2. You can govern and live anywhere on earth. A Nigerian governor lived in the Netherlands, another in Dubai
3. You can take LGA funds and spend
Yet....you stay 8 years and poverty increases in your State
Hopeless
Last week, my brother, the distinguished Senator for Anambra South, @Dr_IfeanyiUbah, abandoned @ypp234 & crossed over to @OfficialAPCNg.
Today, at his criminal trial b4 the Fed Hi Crt in Lagos, @AmconNg applied to withdraw the charges against him & the court duly obliged. There!
If the National Assembly spent those billions to order Made in Nigeria cars from Innoson and NORD, it would be stimulative, it would create jobs and boost the GDP of Nigeria
The National Assembly of Nigeria is a first-line waste of taxpayer funds
