Another Harmless gist. 😅
You know the US just marked her 250th independence anniversary and the celebrations started yesterday.
And in the light of this event, one guy asked if Nigeria can survive as a country till 250 years.
One APC chieftain assumed this question to be an attack against the ruling party; and immediately asked grok to make a comparison between the US of 1841 and Nigeria of 2025.
According to the APC chieftain, the US was 65 years at 1841 and Nigeria is 65 years in 2025. So, he wanted to compare 65-years old America against 65 years old Nigeria.
After the comparison across education, infrastructure, governance and economy; grok revealed that America of 1841 was far better than Nigeria of 2025.
That's to say, 19th century America was better than the 21st century Nigeria.
The niggas in Africa need to see this tweet and free their mind.
“We simply don’t mistake endless hatred for pride. Remembering the past and being ruled by the past are not the same thing.”
If 40 pets were missing in another country the President will not sleep, in Nigeria 40 kids are missing, the presidency sees nothing wrong. #politics#nigeria
Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Bro people are really dying avoidable deaths in Naija, it’s insane.
Like you know this person would most likely be hale & hearty if they existed somewhere saner, chai.
Look at America, Europe and Canada today.
Indians are leading top companies, building global technology, running hospitals, teaching in world-class universities and occupying important positions across the world.
Look at China.
They moved hundreds of millions from poverty to global power by taking education, science, engineering, manufacturing and national planning seriously.
None of this happened by accident.
Nations that invest in human capital eventually export influence.
That is the path we must take.
We are not grooming children just to survive Nigeria.
We are grooming a generation that will compete with the best minds on earth.
Our education must move from survival to global domination.
Nigerian journalism is in the gutter. This is a story that should be investigated by journalists themselves and they are discussing it as if they are reporting gossip and reading out tweets. Journalism is not peddling gossip and discussing it like they are The View.
When Nigerians continue to memeify our problems, this is what happens. Keep making your jokes and skits and calling them “satire”. The people you are doing it for will satirize you back and in a crueler way.
RIVERS YOUTH FOUND 18 YEARS AFTER DISAPPEARANCE
Gospel Kinanee, at 14 years old, left home one night and never returned. His family says their search for him took them to police stations, but to no avail.
His brother says the correctional centre where he has now been found was visited twice during the search.
With no formal trial or access to legal representation, the young Ogoni man, who went missing in 2007, was one of 21 inmates released from the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre when the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon Amadi, flagged off the Rivers State Jail Delivery Exercise.
His family named him Gospel Kinanee, but the correctional centre has him in its records as Baridi Sunday.
Gospel Kinanee's mental health is now the subject of litigation.
