The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".
@realJudebela Nigerians are very good at killing talent. I’m extremely picky when it comes to geopolitical analysts, and the fact that I rank you alongside Caspian Report and Johnny Harris is proof of your talent and the quality of your work.
But one foolish egbon wants you to be Sabinus

Intimacy isn't just sex. It's the mental check ins, deep conversations, date nights, forms of affirmations, the small simple things, the heart-to-hearts, staying up all night talking, sharing childhood memories, thoughts, fears, dreams and hopes for the future. It's uncontrollable laughter, direct eye contact and feeling each other without touching - it's exchanging energy.
@winexviv Why are you people always trying to spoil governments name, even in private organizations, people fund trips and get reimbursed. If it was that important, the parties involved would have funded and get refunded.
This is simple
Don't lose your family to me. If they don't accept me, I'm not marrying you. It is not me that would separate you from your family.
Men are plenty. Women are plenty. Soulmate is a myth.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
Dear NDC aspirants.
On election day, we don’t want this type of wailing on TV.
If you know you cannot match the APC crazy for crazy, better drop that nomination you are celebrating now and let someone who can do it go into the election.
The APC have made it known that they will not conduct a free & fair election.
This man cannot tell me he didn’t know this is what the APC was gonna do, yet he didn’t not work towards countering it, but is here crying.
There will be no judiciary in 2027.
You win or lose that election day!
We no wan hear cry for Arise News or Channels.
I don’t think personally that Peter Obi is the absolute best person who could be president of Nigeria, but it’s abundantly clear that of all the available options for people who could be president at the moment, he is head and shoulders the best option.
I think this argument works only if there were multiple contenders on equal standing but there simply are not.
PO is far better than Atiku, Tinubu and any of the other aspirants.
“So many Nigerians are more qualified than I am but they are not on the ballot. Among those on the ballot, I am more qualified.”
