Yesterday's Advocates of democracy, Today's Oppressor of the Press
Nigeria is drifting dangerously.
At a time when our nation should be strengthening its vital democratic institutions, we are witnessing a pattern that shows the opposite. The recent notice by the National Broadcasting Commission, especially at this critical time of the general elections, is very troubling.
A free and responsible media should not be an enemy to any administration, especially one that claims to have fought for democracy. The media is the conscience of the nation. Attempting to stifle voices, moderate opinions, or intimidate journalists under the guise of regulation only weakens our already fragile democracy.
Institutions are not built to serve governments; they are built to serve the people.
At a time when insecurity is on the rise, young Nigerians are losing faith in the country, and the economy continues to fail the average citizen. Our focus should not be on controlling media narratives, but on delivering results.
Nigeria does not need stronger control. Nigeria needs stronger institutions. I stand in solidarity with Nigeria’s media houses and broadcasters who are standing against this attempt to silence independent voices and restrict free expression.
We must return to the path of transparency, accountability, and true independence of all arms and agencies of government. We cannot continue to endanger our democracy.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Any government that rehabilitates bandits and releases them back into society, is in bed with bandits.
There is no greater way to announce that you hate your people than to free the people that kills them.
President @officialABAT is running the Most Useless Government in the history of Useless Governments!!!
How many more Nigerians have to die due to this abysmal level of incompetence?
Nigerians wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other.
Unbearably heart-wrenching!!!
@MrMekzy_ Poverty can rob you of your dignity and independence, leaving you without control over your own thoughts. Similarly, greed is another vice that can overpower a person. It can make even a rich man act as if he has no mind of his own.
Nobody making $50 - $100k a month will be begging you everyday to teach you how to make the said amount.
You register and they get empowered. That is their real source of income 🙏🏾
O dabo
In life strive to be shameless and you will be free. Shameless people achieve so much. This thing of pandering to people's opinions will not get you anywhere
2016, in my homeless days, visited 2 very rich family members ( I mean bastardly rich, they both owned tank farms) In Portharcourt so I could just beg them for help ! Even if it’s for food!
First one never picked my calls and the second one when I got to her gate, told the security man not to let me in! She brought an envelope of 5k or 10k and told me she wouldn’t want me around, but if I need anything I should let her know! House that I once lived in!
I went my back to my uncompleted building, cried and composed this Yoruba song!
“ God, if you were the one that created me and brought me to earth, lift me up and have mercy on me” 😂
I always find a talent when I’m in shit
Promised myself that I’ll never, go to anyone for money again or food! That I’ll depend on God alone and make sure I get anything doing, even if it’s to pack poo!
Then I packed all my things and moved back to Lag! And grind like I would die!
Started from taxi driving and added teaching, to soap and paint making, painting houses, furniture and interior design, cooking and house cleaning! Selling of cloths!
Y’all, I did everything I could so I wouldn’t beg for food! It was hard some days but TODAY THE 10th Of March, 2024, I am 1000 far up from where I used to be!
God blessed me first with good people, and he wiped my shame away! He blessed me and made me a blessing to thousands!
This is to encourage you that the phase of life you are would change! Don’t stop working and don’t stop trusting in God! ❤️
Happy Sunday! Bels ❤️
Don’t mind the picture! Not slept well in days 🥺
