We will never know the depth of what the Japa phenomenon has done to many families and communities.

A family of 4kids,
One in usa, One in Australia, One in UK and the last one in Abuja. Mother is dead, father is old and lives in the village. This is not an isolated case. This is the story of thousands of families.

Friends split. Communities fractured. Families torn apart. Because the country has become such a hard place that so many have to travel far and wide to make something meaningful out of life.

Eventually for the money we chase and the survival we seek, by going far far away from home due to no fault of our own, we all eventually pay back in a price far higher than money can give.

To you who has missed the birth of your child, the burial of a loved one, the graduation of a sibling, the hugs of your family, because you were far away…

To everyone who has had to go far away from home, or who has had loved ones who have had to go far away from home, this one is for you…

@AdewuyiRoseline My own is that they should let the innocent girl rest, it’s not as deep as many people have taken it. The same man that could take first name address from a white girl and all blushing is the one crucifying the innocent employee

“President Tinubu orders EFCC to reverse the freeze on Osun state accounts”. I’ve seen this news today.

On what grounds is the president “ordering” EFCC and issuing a directive to them??? What kind of lawless jungle is this?

The EFCC is an independent federal agency. They do not take “orders” from the president. This is madness on display. Yet some clowns are defending this blatant misuse of executive privilege.

And don’t get me wrong:
EFCC unilaterally shutting down Osun state accounts is wrong and illegal. They should only do this after following due process.

However, the president “giving orders” or “issuing directives” to EFCC is illegal and a horrible misuse of power by the president.

And before you say:
“But EFCC is a federal agency and the president appoints the EFCC chairman”, well let me remind you that INEC is a federal agency and the president also appoints the INEC chairman, does that mean the president can give orders to INEC and does the INEC chairman take orders from the president?

Do Nigerians even understand the concept of separation of powers at all? This is arrant madness and blatant insanity.

Many Nigerians don’t realise you have exalted your pastors to the positions of idols you worship and the position of kings who must never be questioned.

In this regard,
Many Nigerian christians are idol worshippers whose god is their pastor.

May God bless Sam Adeyemi for this.

Dear @mehdirhasan

This lying double-mouthed dishonest aide called Daniel Bwala that you publicly exposed his hypocrisy to the world a few months ago, now claims Al Jazeera “apologised” to him over your interview with him.

Please is this claim true?
And if true, what exactly did Al Jazeera apologise to him for?

Dear Nigerians,
Pls retweet until @mehdirhasan sees this and publicly responds to clear the air.

[Oluwafemi Ayeni...your favourite ESQ @fayeni_D]

@BwalaDaniel @BwalaDaniel you are a typical Nigerian politician of stomach infrastructure, wrote a lot without stating any sense… „all I said as opposition“ further confirming zero credibility, integrity and never to take any of your word serious… wealth with shameful legacy 🤔

This lady said there’s no single MRI machine in Ilorin. This is why that's an emergency waiting to happen.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

VERY URGENT 🚨

Not to disrupt your day,
Not to distract you from the usual VDM-Blord, Peller-Jarvis and iShowSpeed banter,

This is just to bring to your attention that on Sunday 5days ago, 166 christians were kidnapped across churches in Kaduna by barbaric terrorist animals who are defended by some monsters here and supported by some parasites in the Nigerian government.

Pls share for the world to see this.
The Nigerian government and the Nigerian media will do its best to cover this up.

Pls lend your voices to help the victims.
This is the least we can do to help them.

“Most of classism you see in Nigeria has absolutely nothing to do with class. It is simply poverty with a microphone”

Everything said in this video is 100% spot on.

“AFCON SMEAR CAMPAIGN”
(Same Game, Different Judgement)

A comment by Darren Lewis, a respected British sports journalist, deserves real credit. Paraphrasing his point:

We need to stop pushing the lazy narrative that what happened at the AFCON final is somehow a stain on all of African football.

When England fans vandalised Wembley after Euro 2020, it wasn’t framed as a failure of European football.

When Calciopoli exposed deep corruption in Italy and Juventus were relegated, it wasn’t used to discredit European club football as a whole.

When Steve Bruce led Sheffield United off the pitch during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Highbury, no one claimed it represented English football.

Yet, similar incidents at AFCON are quickly weaponised to question the legitimacy, organisation, and credibility of African football as a whole.

That double standard is the real issue, not the tournament.

Same game. Same problems. Different judgement.
AFCON isn’t the problem, the bias is.

[OneJoblessBoy @onejoblessboy_]

Diaz was shouting at the referee and the referee was begging him to calm down.

Never seen anything like this.

[Enigmas @Enigmas0x]

The argument isn't just that Nigerians are passive—it’s that they have weaponized "Resilience" as a psychological trap.

​In most parts of the world, resilience means the ability to recover from a blow.

In the Nigerian context, it has been mutated into the ability to absorb abuse indefinitely.

​The critics of the walk-off are the same people who wait in 10-hour fuel queues without a murmur.

To them, the proper way to handle an unfair referee (or an unfair government) is to endure it until the final whistle and then complain in private.

There is a pathetic obsession with behaving well for an international audience that doesn't actually care.

The Moroccan team was rattled because someone finally refused to follow the script.

Nigerians hate that because it reminds them of the scripts they follow every day.

Nigeria is a nation built on legalisms rather than convictions.

​We value the process of looking civilized over the result of being free.
​A walk-off is uncivilized. A protest is disorderly.

​Consequently, the only "acceptable" form of progress is one that is signed, sealed, and delivered by the very powers that are oppressing you.

​The reason the potato can't understand rocket physics is that the potato’s entire existence is based on staying buried.

​To a culture that views submission as a spiritual duty, defiance looks like madness.

​The critics aren't actually upset that the team walked off; they are terrified of the precedent.

If a football team can decide the terms of their engagement, then perhaps the average citizen can too.

And that level of responsibility is a burden most would rather leave for God.

@ChuksEricE They have finally weaponised poverty in Nigeria, what kind of doom is this in 2025

The latest OAU convocation a few days ago was vibes and good times. Congratulations to all the graduates.

[Àgbàakin of Europe🇳🇬 🇪🇺 @powerfulbadeeu]

Failure 101.
Àgbàakin’s corner

We don’t document our failures enough, we most times see only “I am delighted” nudged to do that this morning.

1) I wrote O’level four times looking for Physics before I eventually make a C6 in my Nov/Dec NECO in 2009, till date, I don’t have a single O’level, I combined two.

2) I wrote JAMB four times before I eventually gained entry into FUTA in 2012 & graduated 2017, my high school colleagues were already in final year same period.

3) I started applying for scholarship opportunities in the year 2017 and I didn’t win until four years later in 2021; I applied for 26 in total.

4) When I wanted to do a PhD, I wrote cold emails to over 100 Food science/Chemistry Professors in Canada (I only want Canada, so I didn’t bother to apply to any other country), only one gave me a “Yes”- though I’ll later decline to stay in Europe.

5) I’ve applied to over 5,000 jobs in the last three years, sat for over 25 interviews and I got only 4 congratulations.

Nobody promise us it’ll be easy, it never will. Keep grinding mates, the dream of the future will definitely be better than the history of the past.

NB- This is not an exhaustive list of my failures, there exist more.

[Everest @novieverest]

Suddenly, everybody now admits that the refineries NNPC borrowed huge amounts of money to fix are not working.

Those who defended it then are still walking about acting like smart individuals. They learn nothing.

Patriotism can never make you work for APC. It is either you are a thief, known criminal, terrorist, terrorist apologist, or an opportunist.
