I thought the South African vs Nigerian dragging was just Twitter banter… until I visited South Africa. 🥲
The lady at the airport saw our Nigerian passports, pulled us aside & kept us waiting with plenty questions.
Even the cab driver from the airport kept going on about Nigerians “taking their girls” & all sorts🤩
Nigerians are good people. What did we do to deserve this much hostility? 🥺
- Stocked (the average Nigerian is poor)
- In a freezer (with the epileptic power supply ?)
I am sure you believe that this imaginary guy will be doing well enough for himself (tbh this is not completely bad). This is one of the downsides of the social media, it makes people aspire for a life that do not match their reality.
I will not leave my hectic life, accept an invitation that’s supposed to be a place to rest and relax and start cooking, why is the fridge or freezer not stocked prior to her coming, why are you even cooking? That should’ve been sorted and all you guys should do is microwave and
20 something year olds are joining mouth to say the benefits of the macroeconomic policies won’t show now but in kinikan years. Forgetting that the almost 40 year olds said the same thing about a decade ago while watching their futures get eaten up.
It's the exploitative nature of most Nigerians. They have nothing to gain from this thief they tied up so they hate him. If he could throw some money to them they will praise him like they praise politicians.
All of us na cowards. These people really mean to take over the country.
Monday now, everybody go wear monkey suit they go work that doesn’t pay them more than 150k naira and pretend like it’s life they are living.
We need to hit the streets and protest about so many things
Gas 2k per kg
Fuel 1400 per liter
And we're living lives like it's normal, these things are basics
I have met a lot of people that voted BAT the last time who will be voting Peter Obi next year.
I have also met a lot of first timers and people who didn’t vote last time that will vote this time because they are voting for Peter Obi. Their reason is that BAT has been an incompetent failure after all his promises and shouting “Emi Lokan” in 2023 and they consider Peter Obi the best and only credible option.
I haven't met any true Peter Obi supporter that is now supporting BAT or any other candidate(this is my reality)
I believe this administration hasn't lived up to the hype by its agents, supporters & ministers but I cannot deny that it's been the worst ever we have seen to date.
And anyone currently supporting them is delusional. That this administration has made propaganda and corruption their trademark is evident in all the arms and institutions of government. Alex Otti has shown that governance is truly not rocket science by adopting the Peter Obi model, and while BAT has failed woefully in 3 years he has excelled amazingly. It is now obvious to all that Peter Obi is the only one who can turn around the fortunes of Nigeria. There is no better option period!
Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This
I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.
The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.
But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.
When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.
Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.
I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.
A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.
The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
APC has done something impressive.
They have convinced millions of people that struggling to eat, struggling to pay rent and struggling to survive is a personal failure instead of an economic one.
That's genius.
