I have no interest in being around people who assign malicious intent to every mistake. If grace is reserved for no one, not even the people in your life, I can only imagine how harshly you judge strangers
I’d say this slowly:
Refuse to let anyone define you by single moments in your life, whether mistakes you made or victories you won. Accept that you are more than both.
And Ah, you can only take live photos because:
- Uploading from gallery can break recency trust
- Taking a live photo means you don't give me native access to your gallery
- Get in your steps and contribute to your civic duty
I am going through all your submissions.
For several hours today, thousands of people in the Opebi-Ikeja axis were stranded, some stuck in their cars, others trekking long distances. There were people who trekked from Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way to Allen; some trekked from Customs to Opebi.
You want to know why?
Because President Bola Tinubu was commissioning a bridge built by Babajide Sanwo-Olu. A bridge. A common bridge was why taxpayers suffered for hours.
Every now and then, you see signs that many of the people in governance are tone-deaf, with scant understanding of the essence of governance: the people. You built a bridge for the people; why suffer them first before letting them use it?
Why do we need a president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces to open a bridge? And why does this have to be done at the expense of public comfort? Who did this to us as a people?
If you are waiting for a population to magically begin to behave well, then you are simply wasting your time. It has never happened anywhere in the world.
Law, order, and policing exists for a reason. Without societal guardrails engineered by top leadership, nothing will change.
