This is what Nigerians across all levels don’t understand. We are not all going to get rich, the chance is even slighter in this climate. But we all deserve a decent life, and for that, we must have functioning systems & institutions.
I just heard a story that almost made me m@d!💔
Ayo Adio, the ADC Candidate for the Eti-Osa House of Assembly Constituency, visited a community in his constituency to interact with the residents and sell his programmes. But he discovered that they hadn't had light for several months and were struggling to survive in darkness.
He swore to them that he'd resolve the electricity issue by clearing their outstanding bills. The following week, he visited NEPA with the community leaders. He paid off the outstanding debt and brought NEPA officials to reconnect the light.
As the electricity was restored, the community lit up in frenzied joy and jubilation. Word got to the APC representatives in the constituency. The following week, they ordered NEPA to disconnect the light.
As I type, the community is thrown back into darkness - helpless and hopeless. I can’t express how sad and utterly disgusted I feel right now!✍️
It’s been 3+ months with this guy now & im glad I kept him cause he’s amazing ! 🥹
Idk what my schedule would have looked like if he wasn’t there to pick up on all the work. Super dedicated young guy. Hire someone in Nigeria guys !
Overheard my daughter’s bff who stayed over complaining about a skin irritation
on her face that’d been itching and burning, and my daughter said “tell my dad, he always knows what to do…”
So I went on Nairaland.
I searched “Tinubu”. I also searched “Obi”.
Since they were both governors. I wanted to see Media footprint of who they were and what they represented Pre-2022.
Here is a screenshot. First 2 is for Tinubu. Last 2 is for Peter Obi.
Jan 26/2027. You’ll have to choose 1 of these 2 to lead Nigeria.
Who are you choosing?!
I’m not sure you guys understand what just happened in Nigeria.
Over 30 young boys were arrested in Niger and locked in an overcrowded, unventilated cell with extreme heat by @official_NSCDC. They reportedly banged on the door and were ignored.
They were all found dead. Suffocated to dèath. By NSCDC. 💔
It’s easy to compartmentalize.
1. I’m not going to join racists in piling on an Igbo Black woman (Uju Anya).
2. She works in academia, where she meets people from all kinds of cultures and backgrounds. She should know better than to make vile, sweeping statements about people
There’s a guy on IG called Eric who has made it his job to fish out racists.
He goes under viral posts to catch racists down to the granular level.
When I say granular level, I mean, if there’s a racist comment, he even checks everyone that has liked that comment.
He then researches about the person, down to their workplace and posts all the person’s details online. It could be your workplace, phone number, profile, anything that relates to the racist.
Few days ago, he saw a guy reacting to a racist comment in a way that shows the guy supports racism. Those form of subtle racism. The funny thing is that this racist guy is a missionary in Uganda.
People now dug deep to even see the missionary guy in one of his videos referring to some Ugandan children in a village as monkeys. They’re uneducated so they probably do not know so much.
Anyways, this IG guy has fished him out, tagged the government of Uganda, and in two days, Ugandan government has deported him to America or wherever he’s from.
How are you a Christian missionary, raising money everyday online, with a goal to spread the gospel, and build churches in Uganda, but you hate blacks?
Make it make sense to me please?
“A driver shared a story about how he picked up a Chinese man and took him to Onitsha Main Market. When they were about to head back to Asaba, they got stuck in traffic because of a roadblock.
The Chinese man told him to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid the roadblock. The driver warned him that the police officers on that lane might arrest him for driving against traffic, but the Chinese man still told him to go and not worry…”
I pointed this out when I was in Hong Kong. They plastered their top students/projects/good deeds at HKUST. I just told myself that they are reinforcing culture
