Know this and Know Peace

When the victim is a woman people start discrediting her character to know if she deserves justice or not, Nigeria is a shithole.
Nigerian women are dealing with the worst set of men. 🤮

Society is remarkably good at holding girls accountable for what grown men do to them.

I saw more PhDs at large tech companies than at the universities I attended.

In just one week:

A man was arrested for harassing a girl on the street for rejecting him in Abuja.

A 20 year old girl took her life because she was grapped by a content creator.

A male lecturer got involved In inappropriate conduct with a female student.

There is another chaos because of a guy who keeps creating silly contents with an underage girl.

A student's husband flogged a lecturer because he was trying to sleep with his wife to give her good grades.

These are just the ones we've heard of, now imagine the ones we don't know about.

I wish the men committing these crimes would do better. It's heartbreaking to wake up almost every day to news of another woman becoming a victim. For many women, simply existing comes with a constant sense of fear.

There are countless videos teaching men how not to spend money on women or how not to "simp," but where are the conversations teaching that NO means NO? Where are the lessons that rejection is not humiliation, and that self control and respect are essential parts of being a responsible male adult?

Parents also have a role to play by raising boys to respect boundaries, consent, and women. Society is quick to police women's morality, yet often fails to address the attitudes and behaviors that lead to these crimes, (the men involved)

It's painful to watch, and I hope the men who choose these actions become better human beings, for the sake of everyone in our society. And If they don't want to be better, then I hope they face the consequences of their actions.

Nigeria has a rape, pedophilia and femicide problem.

While he was daring people to come out and fight him, senior bros was cornering Ikoyi properties without using a trustee. He was the MD of Zenith Bank before becoming a CBN governor, I hope he saved something from that prior gig. Today, Tinubu signed a crypto executive order.

What they have stolen so far in this country is enough to start a new country from scratch.

Someone dies. A young lady chooses to take her life because she didn't feel dignified to keep on living.

Dignity snatched by an unbridled degenerate.

What you're interested in, are her twerking videos on TikTok.

What's wrong with you is a form of mental illness.

Backward, we are moving backwards, except we come together as citizens to ask our leaders the right questions and hold them accountable.

People are really going through it on the street.
Again, no matter how bad things are, it can always get worse.

"Old Lagos Money".

But it's money dipped in corruption and earned on the blood of fellow humans.

BTW, this is how molues entered Nigeria 😀

Till date the eyesores are still transversing Lagos roads.

Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa

I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident.

Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records.

We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business.

What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%.

Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from?

The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not.

This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform.

This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy.

Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth.

We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work.

If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business.

Thank you.

We’re so poor that money alone isn’t even going to fix our problem.
If the government should share 1 million Naira to every single citizen today, by this time next year, almost everyone will be back to square 1.

We need to get people skills and jobs, we need the government to push us into a new era of industrialisation and make the basic infrastructures available so people can build and progress.

We need real help.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.

It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.

[random guy on the internet @KharayKrayKray]

Rape is not a mistake triggered by lust.

It's an expression of the psychology of someone who wants something they're not permitted to have and is willing to take it by force at the expense of another person.

We don't need those kinds of people running around… apology or not.

Nigeria’s 2025 budget is a fiscal crime scene.
