For the first time today, I realized that the problem of Nigeria is not leadership per say, but the opportunists nature of its citizens.
I was scheduled for an appointment at the Russian Embassy Abuja by 11am today, and somehow, I missed my way to the Embassy. Instead of the Russian Embassy, I found myself at the UN Office which had the same structure painting with the Russian Embassy. I checked my time and it was 10:42am. Looking frustrated, I asked for directions and the security guards directed me to a cluster of Taxi Drivers at the opposite side. I crossed to the other side and immediately about five of the Taxi Drivers rushed towards me.
"Oga where you dey go"? They asked simultaneously
"Russian Embassy" I responded
"Ahhhhh! Russian Embassy. E far o" one of the men responded.
"Is about two hours drive from here" the man added
"How much will you take me there"? I asked
"Oga na 30k o" he responded
My heart skip.
I was pleading and negotiating with this man to please accept 20k as I was running out of time but he stood his ground.
A Hausa man hawking orange who was following our conversation, came behind me and whispered in Hausa "Dan dai kana sauri ne, Amman akasama zaka iya zuwa Russian Embassy" (if not because you are in a haste, you can trek to Russian Embassy).
The orange hawker then instructed me to follow him. I checked my time and it was 10:49am.
We trekked few miles, take just two turns and crossed over an overhead bridge. Boom! We are at the front of Russian Embassy.
I checked my time and it was 10:57am. I could not help but hug the man tightly until the orange on his stray start falling. We chatted for few minutes. He told me he came all the way from Ingawa Local Government in Katsina State. I told him I am from Funtua local government in Katsina State. We quickly exchange contact and I dash off.
While waiting for my turn to be invited into the Embassy, my mind traveled back to the Taxi Driver I was desperately begging to accept 20k. Some of us are worse than the leaders we complain everyday about. It's just opportunity we lack.

WARNING: VIOLENT
This is one of the most confronting videos I've seen from the conflict. Don't watch if you have a weak stomach.
"THIS IS THE HARDEST
THING YOU CAN SEE IN THIS WAR
The video was shot last autumn by an enemy helmet camera during an attempt by the AFU to recapture Trudovoye from attackers of the 39th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade of the Vostok Group of Forces
In the video, an AFU fighter controls the entrance to the courtyard, then retreats before the AFU FPV drone strikes the suspected position of the Russian fighter.
After the strike, the AFU fighter returns, enters the courtyard and a super close-range gun battle erupts into hand-to-hand combat.
Then there are very hard shots, which are better not to watch for the impressionable and faint-hearted.
The dialogue of the two opponents after the deadly fight is over deserves special attention.
Yes, their words have more respect for each other as an opponent than the herd of bloodthirsty scum on both sides, calling from the sofa to wage war to the last Russian/Ukrainian and to hit Moscow/Kiev with nuclear strikes.
Warriors like the ones in the video have the right to say such things, but not bloodthirsty clowns sitting in the deep rear, who never risked their lives in an attempt to take someone else's, and who watch the war as a kind of fan on the couch.
At the moment our hero is in Russia on the mend!"

@EndWokeness@Jenny_McCaffrey Hey @Jenny_McCaffrey , not sure the intention of retweeting this horrific crime, but just for clarity- the stats on heterosexual vs homosexual p*dophilia are around 11:1 (feel free to google), so going by the stats adopted kids would actually be much less safe w straight couples!
