Bukele is proof that the best way to solve violence is with even more violence.

[🔥 🍫 @Odiknacker1_]

Since I woke up this morning, I've taken my time to go through the comments, quotes, and advice people have shared. Trust me, I'm going to take every single piece of advice seriously. However, there's one advice I will not take, and that's people telling me to stay away from politics and focus solely on my business.

I think I responded to someone's comment suggesting that we should vote for Peter Obi, and I noticed that quite a number of people dragged me for it. But honestly, why should I be told not to talk about politics and just concentrate on my business? Who do you think put me in the situation I'm currently in? Is it not the government? I shouldn't talk about politics, but politics is talking about me. Do you understand how badly government policies have affected my business and my livelihood?

I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who came through for me, but the truth is, I'm still going to bear losses. And who created the economic conditions that contributed to those losses? The government.

Let me also address those who believe I made a financial mistake by opening the shop in the first place. Yes, perhaps there were things I could have done differently, but let me give you some context. My shop is strategically located between two major universities in Port Harcourt: the University of Science and Technology (UST) and Ignatius Ajuru University. These institutions have thousands of students. Do you honestly think these students don't want cookies? Why do you think I chose that location in the first place? The idea was simple: students from both universities would make up a significant part of my customer base.

Interestingly, since this whole support campaign started, a good number of the people who have shown up to support me are students from these same universities. They have always been my target audience. But the problem is that the economy has destroyed their purchasing power. These students, who ordinarily would patronise my business, are now more concerned about paying school fees, feeding themselves, and meeting their basic needs.

And somehow, I'm being told not to talk about politics?

You're telling me to focus on my business, post my products, and leave politics alone. But why can't I do both? Why can't I promote my business and also speak about the political leadership and candidate I believe can bring about the change we desperately need? Why shouldn't I advocate for someone I believe can help change the circumstances that have made running a small business this difficult?

I was fortunate that my situation gained attention and people rallied around me. But what happens the next time? Will I have to depend on a viral post before I can make meaningful sales? Is that how a business should survive? Absolutely not.

I appreciate every single person who has supported me, advised me, encouraged me, and shown me love. I will take the business advice, learn from my mistakes, and make better decisions going forward.

But please, don't tell me to stop talking about politics. The economy is affecting my business. Government policies are affecting my customers. The political decisions being made in this country have direct consequences on my livelihood.

I cannot separate my business struggles from the politics and economic realities that contribute to them. I have every right to speak about both.

PLEASE VOTE PETER OBI!!! ✌️

Lack of consequences is how things got this bad in Nigeria

[RedDevilBukas @_bukason]

So many dull Nigerians liken Trump to Tinubu cuz they feel he brought APC upon us

These people don't even know it was the Democrats thanks to Obama that did it

These are the people who make fun conservatives and American republicans

[St. Olam @saintolam]

Nigerian Democrats are confused. Every day, you express nothing but hatred for Trump, yet have nothing to say about Obama, who helped usher in the very calamity called APC. Trump's crime against you, in your eyes, was simply preventing you from escaping your choice.

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

If we're being honest, the world needs a 10-year unbroken leadership of Donald Trump as the US President.

The US needs Donald Trump to stand strong.

And the world needs a strong USA.

It's just unfortunate how these dumbos in the democratic party are setting the world up.

[RedDevilBukas @_bukason]

Nigerians who hate MAGA and support Peter Obi are the biggest clowns fr

Bunch of deluded people who can't realise Peter Obi has more in common with Republicans than Democrats

They probably think Peter Obi will advocate for open borders if Nigeria was a working country😂

[𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘ᴺᴹ @RamatVictory]

They forgot how Obama refused to sell weapons and ammunition to Nigeria to fight Boko Haram extremists. They also forgot how he killed Gaddafi and turned Libya into rubbles just so he can take over their oil. Democrats have always used their govt to destabilize Africa.

[Gene Grey @EuginhoCortez]

The Democrat Presidency backed the APC and the Buhari 2015 campaign

But said nothing about the islamist terrorist attacks under Buhari

And this was after blocking the GEJ Govt's efforts to acquire weapons to crush Boko Haram

But Suit dey fit Obama so that doesn't matter

[Hamilton @hamiltonawah]

If you’re a Nigerian Democrat I see you as someone who supports APC shaa. Two cheeks of the same ass.
