The situation in Nigeria:
- No functioning public water system: they tell us to dig boreholes.
- No stable electricity: they tell us to install solar panels in our homes.
- No jobs: they tell us to learn hand skills.
- Insecurity: they tell us to be vigilant.
- Poor internet services: they tell us to find alternative providers.
Every basic amenity that the government has failed to provide, they expect citizens to provide for themselves and simply compromise.
@atiku In other words, Atiku may have crafted a wise speech with political opposition, but will the country's governance be as good as writing such a wise article 🤣🤣
Before everything was given to them to make them billionaires, they promised us that the wealth would trickle down.
We kept our side of the bargain. We privatised, we worked, we consumed, We paid taxes while they paid little or evade taxes and also got subsidies most times. We built their markets, bought their products, filled their companies with our labour, and watched them accumulate wealth on a scale most of us could never imagine.
Now we ask, where is the trickle down?
Suddenly, we are told it is their money and we have no right to question what they do with it.
But it was never just about their money. Their accumulation was justified by a promise that their wealth would ultimately benefit society.
They became billionaires. We became poorer. Our society became more unequal and more broken.
And somehow, the very people suffering from the consequences of these billionaires are the ones defending them most fiercely.
The greatest trick of all is convincing the poor to defend the rich by making them believe they are only temporarily poor.
Dear career woman, please, when it is time to make a lifetime commitment, do not marry down.
If you want to enjoy both your career and your marriage, be careful about marrying a man you are significantly ahead of academically and financially.
As time goes on your career will grow. Your income will grow. Your exposure and responsibilities will grow. If your husband is unable to grow with you, that gap will eventually become a source of conflict in the marriage.
Do not make the mistake of thinking love alone will close that gap. You may live to regret it.
Choose a man whose ambition, capacity and mindset is greater than yours so you can always look up to him.
If you so desire to be an exception, then good luck to you.
Nigerians are buying petrol at Global prices and being groomed to pay taxes at Global levels.
Yet when it comes to living Life at Global Standards of living they are told to "bear baby steps of pain"
Lapite is a cónman
@NigeriaStories Does the law also make provisions for men who were disappointed by women. Even more severe punishment for those women who were trained in higher learning/ vocational studies and later went on to marry a different person from their betrothed sponsors.
Yes, this is true under Nigerian law 100%.
The Conditions to sue are:
There was a clear promise to marry — proposal and acceptance. Not just dating or "I love you". There must be evidence: ring, introduction to family, messages like "will you marry me" and "yes".
One party broke it without lawful excuse.
What the lady (or even the man) can get:
Refund of money spent in preparation for wedding — aso ebi, hall deposit, introduction expenses.
General damages for emotional distress, shame, especially if she got pregnant or left job or relocated because of the promise.
If he had sex with her based on that promise, courts take it more seriously.
Notable cases: Ezeanah v. Atta (2004) — Supreme Court upheld damages for breach.
But note: Court will not force anyone to marry. You can't get order of "you must marry her". It's only damages.
So ladies if he proposes, introduces you to family, you spend money, then he japa — you can carry him to High Court. It's not a crime, it's a civil case.
@ChisomAgbafor It has to do with lifestyle
You can see someone earning millions still be lacking behind financially in the same areas someone earning 250k is doing so well.. na lifestyle and discipline dey run ham...
And they've further ncreased school fees against the new session all over. It is only God that will continue to bless the hands of responsible providers. May whatever legit business venture they they think of bring forth fruition before the business kicks off.
How will people who have consistently told you that everything they are and will be doing is in the interest of their nation, which in actuality, in the interest of their elite capitalist circle, and you will call them your saviors? They don't even care about their citizens 😒.
It is infuriating that so many so-called educated Nigerians, particularly those in the South, rush to defend the West when confronted with videos and confessions from foreigners that show Western sponsorship of terrorism across Africa
They hate you so much they don't want you in their country.
They cancel 99% of your visa applications and force you to pay $20,000 for the "privilege" of visiting.
They call you a third worlder. A low IQ African.
And yet, surprisingly after all this humiliation, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the world's largest consulate on your soil!
A place that they didn't born you well to go with 2km of.
In. Your. Own. Fucking. Land.
Are we slaves now?
You tell us not to come to your country and erect a $20,000 wall.
But you come to my home and build a military base... The world's largest... To oppress my people.
After admitting on camera to funding Boko Haram and God knows how many groups.
One day una cup go full
@R_eq_uin Do not forget almost all deadly diseases were formed by their scientists and resources.
Just to bring down the world 🌎 population.
Is the world 🌎 really too populated?
Lol, their cup will not fill anything.
In the order of things, the strong rule, bully, and direct the weak, docile, and stupid. The sad thing about Nigeria is that we ain’t weak; we’re just docile and fucking stupid.
So yes, they can and will do that because, as a nation, we ain’t worth shit, and that is where bad leadership and representation has led us.
Wailing online and waiting for some perceived cup to fill is a waste of time. When we are ready to demand accountability and use the power we actually have, we know what to do.
Let's be very clear about what's happening in America right now. Anti-Muslim extremists and anti-Palestinian lobby groups are deliberately and desperately trying to stoke hysteria against American Muslims. Why?
They want to win elections by scaring voters with the imaginary threat of a Muslim takeover. They want to smear and marginalize American Muslims opposed to the Gaza genocide. They want to distract conservatives who have become increasingly aware--and critical--of the Israeli government's influence over American foreign policy. Whether you look at the antics of Ted Cruz, Ben Shapiro, The New York Post, or Fox News, they seek the same result.
The good news is that many Americans are no longer falling for the Muslim boogeyman trick. Many Americans now recognize that the real problem in our nation is not American Muslims praying five times a day. The real problem is corrupt politicians who use hate to divide communities, all for the benefit of a foreign government.
Efforts to manufacture anti-Muslim hate may continue to escalate as the midterm elections approach and as Israel continues to lose support, but our organization and our community are ready for it. We will overcome this hate once and for all, and continue contributing to the betterment of our nation. Insha Allah, God willing.
Men need to start holding other men accountable. I don’t get it… why are you still friends with a man you know beats women? A man that mentally and physically abuses women? A man that has no respect for women? Why is that someone you still proudly call your friend?
