During a typical thunderstorm when I usually allow my mind stray a bit, I think about the safety of the mosquitoes. I usually ask myself
'how do they survive all that chaos?'
Now imagine the winds, the strong breeze that sometimes make you miss a step or two while...
@inDrive , we slate you guys, but you have to protect this rider. He has shown evidence that the customer was deliberately unreasonable and she hindered him from doing his work.
You also have to cancel or block that customer's profile. That's the only response that makes sense.
And that is what I want to see in Nigeria. We don't want your posters littered everywhere when your work has a wrong breath.
Posters are literally adding to the dirt in the state.
Good governance is your campaign tool.
Youโre telling me Iโve spent hours exploring all the genealogical links and obscure political connections of the early Islamic period trying to prove the Jews created Islam and theyโve just been admitting it themselves the whole time?

FOREIGNERS BEATING NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA: A NATIONAL SHAME*
What we saw in that video of an Indian national beating two Nigerian truck drivers, Riliwan Olajide and Taiwo Yinusa, with the help of Nigerian thugs on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is not new. It is a pattern. And it is wrong.
How can a Nigerian be abused in Ghana, be abused in South Africa, be abused in Libya, be abused in India itself - and still come back to his father's land and be abused again by the same foreigners in his own country? Where then is safe for a Nigerian?
This is what happens when a government makes foreigners feel like gods and its own citizens feel like slaves.
Today in Nigeria, a Chinese man will slap a Nigerian worker in a factory in Ogun State and nothing happens. A Lebanese man will seize the passport of a Nigerian girl working in his restaurant and use her as a slave and nothing happens. An Indian factory owner in Lagos will flog his workers like animals and beat truck drivers with sticks using hired thugs and nothing happens.
Why? Because the government has told them, through its silence, that Nigerian lives do not matter.
A foreigner knows that if he beats a Nigerian, he will not be arrested. He knows he can call the police and the police will come to protect him, not the Nigerian. He knows he has money and our officials have hunger for money. So he does what he cannot try in his own country.
No Indian can beat a Chinese driver in India with Nigerian thugs and go free. No Lebanese can beat an American worker in America and still keep his business open the next day. But in Nigeria, anything is possible.
If government does not act on this Karma Agric Feed & Foods case, it is sending a message that it encourages this abuse. Because justice delayed is encouragement. Every day that man is still walking free, other foreign factory owners are learning that they too can beat Nigerians and nothing will happen.
Nigeria must not be a country where Nigerians are strangers. We cannot be unsafe in foreign lands and still be unsafe in the hands of foreigners in our father's land.
If a Nigerian breaks the law in India, India jails him. If a foreigner breaks the law in Nigeria, Nigeria must jail him too. That is what sovereignty means.
Until we start defending our own people on our own soil, no other nation will respect us outside.
Again, most of you here simply cannot understand politics and governance because you lack historical consciousness.
First, you cannot wrap Singapore in the same colonial context as nations like India, Kenya, or Nigeria. Colonialism is fundamentally about invading and conquering a territory to extract natural resources and exploit cheap labor. For this reason, Singapore does not even qualify as a traditional extractive colony. It had virtually no natural resources, no agricultural hinterland, and no minerals to begin with. It was merely a mosquito-infested island with a negligible population. No imperial power was going to waste scarce capital building extractive logistics there because there was absolutely nothing to extract.
Singapore only became useful because the British Empire needed a strategic chokepoint to counter Dutch dominance over the spice trade and the Indonesian shipping routes. Because of this, unlike in India or Nigeria where the British built logistical networks solely to funnel looted resources from the interior to the periphery, Singapore actually received real, functional infrastructure. The British built massive warehouses to stockpile coal and station military fleets for their imperial campaigns in the region. To effectively counter the Dutch, they constructed world-class deep-water wharves, mechanized cranes, and extensive dry docks to service global shipping. Furthermore, Singapore was heavily fortified because Hong Kong was deemed too vulnerable and too close to the expanding Japanese Empire. Consequently, the British poured their imperial naval defense investments into Singapore instead. You simply cannot compare the brutal British subjugation and extraction of Indians, Nigerians, and Kenyans to the strategic militarization of Singapore.
Secondly, even after the British Empire dissolved and passed the imperial torch to Washington, Singapore's strategic usefulness in the Pacific continued to play a critical role in its economic development. During the height of the Vietnam War, Singapore served as a massive logistical staging ground for the American massacre of millions of Vietnamese. American oil majors literally built world-class refineries in Singapore specifically to process the aviation fuel needed for US warplanes dropping bombs on innocent Vietnamese villages. It was to Singapore that wounded US troops were flown for medical treatment. Singapore opened its doors so wide to the American war machine that, even after America lost the Vietnam War, US tech companies and defense contractors rewarded them by establishing manufacturing hubs and technology transfers in the country, which further accelerated their economic boom.
Today, Singapore has shifted its geopolitical posturing. It has transitioned from being a direct military outpost for Western empires into a premier money-laundering haven for corrupt global conglomerates. In fact, it is so deeply entrenched in corporate tax evasion and illicit financial flows that it is widely dubbed the "Switzerland of Asia." Singapore is exactly where you go to set up an offshore shell company to evade paying taxes in your home country. The state shields that stolen wealth from global regulators while happily taking its percentage.
I understand Singapore's true history, which is why no one can ever gaslight me into believing they attained their current level of development through sheer hard work and meritocracy alone.

@Fabian0e Spoiler alert. Women have already been making multiple videos online complaining about these same things you listed that they'd soon start complaining about.
My old mutuals on my old account know for a long time my standing slogan was: it's not the WHAT but the WHO.
The unifying principle is simple: does this person like the other person, or not. If they are attracted o the other person, they will fuck in toilet and

Imagine a Nigeria where we have men of this calibre on the Presidential ballot.
Donald Duke, Alex Otti, Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde.
Imagine being able to choose from this exotic selection.
Not fucking Atiku and a drug dealer.
