[Yehgha @yaygha]

Nigeria, man. There's no escaping the rot, insecurity and dysfunction, no matter how rich you get.

1. Buy an SUV because the roads are bad, and you become a prime target for kidnapping, extortion, and inflated prices

2. Live in an estate for quiet and security but the moment you drive out the gate, you're back in the same poverty, crime, chaos and insecurity everyone else suffers. Your safety exists only within the walls of your expensive prison

3. Spend millions on solar so you don't have to suffer generator noise but your neighbours still use generators. You stop hearing yours, not theirs.

4. Make money and the women will come but the women who come are poor. You work hard to escape poverty, only to give your money to women who are hoping to escape their own poverty by 'working' you

5. Buy Starlink to escape MTN and Airtel, and now the whole compound wants your password.

"But it's unlimited now?"

Decline and you're a bad neighbour

The tragedy of trying to buy your way out systemic dysfunction is that you never truly solve the underlying problem. You just spend money trying to insulate yourself from it, and in that process, create new problems for yourself.

But you interprete it as progress because you no longer have the exact same probems as the next Nigerian.
Because progress here is less about better roads, reliable power and security for all.

Progress here is more about owning an SUV while everyone else dodges potholes in their Camry, having steady power and uninterrupted airconditioning whilst everyone else sweats through the heat, and living behind the 'security' of estate gates while everyone else lives with insecurity.

It is that contrast that gives me fulfilment. It is what makes you stand out, and provides both of us something to brag about. So the benchmark is not whether the system works; It is whether I am better than others in a system that does not work.

And I say "I", because I, also find myself thinking that way sometimes.

I also want to brag about paying 8 million for rent, rather than demand afforable housing for all or protest against the fraud of agents and the greed of landlords.

Afterall, I am also a product of the system.

As a result, most of what I, and by extension, Nigerians broadly speaking, consider progress, is a maladaptation to systemic failure.

It is, to condense it, progress measured against dysfunction, rather than freedom from it.

And 'Maladaptation' because the actions we have adapted to help us cope with the dysfunction, ultimately does more harm than good.

So for example, rather than protest insecurity, bad roads or unreliable power, we maladapt by travelling by air, buying SUVs and installing solar.

We spend money to work around failing institutions while the institutions themselves continue to decay.

But the problem with our "I better pass my neighbour' cope is that it will eventually reach its limit. Because as the rot and decay deepens and spreads, even our workarounds will fail, our estates will no longer keep the criminals and the abokis that surround us out (Abuja residents beware), the kidnappers will come to our doorsteps, like they're doing in Ekpoma, and our roads will get so bad even our four-wheelers will no longer be able to handle them, leading to accidents that will land us in hospitals with no doctors and nurses because our best health workers have japa'd.

@OfficialDSSNG
Mr Sowore @sowore from this your statement said ‘this criminal’ in what way is it any of your business as an agency?

If Mr Tinubu is not a criminal why would that bother him to the extent of involving your agency? Why would that even trigger him?

If Mr Tinubu feels it is not a truthful representation of who he is, why wouldn’t he go to court and sue?
What is your business in all of this?

The territorial integrity of Nigeria is under threat! Lives and properties no longer safe in Nigeria and all that you focus on is that a citizen of Nigeria referred to Mr Tinubu as ‘this criminal’?
Are you for real?

SOWORE BEING SENT TO PRISON: A DANGEROUS REGRESSION FOR OUR DEMOCRACY

I have received, with deep concern, the news of the court’s remand of citizen activist Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison.

While the judiciary remains the ultimate arbiter of justice, we must consistently guard against any trend that gives the appearance of state institutions being weaponised to systematically stifle dissent, muzzle the press, or shrink the legitimate space for civic engagement in Nigeria.

A thriving democracy does not survive on the silencing of opposing voices; rather, it is anchored on the robust protection of fundamental human rights, most notably the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in our Constitution. Moreover, our society is already strained by insecurity and biting economic hardship; therefore, deliberate steps should be taken, even by the courts, to avoid inflaming the situation.

When we begin to treat citizen critics, activists, and journalists as threats to state survival rather than as partners in building accountability, we signal a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. Our current challenges, ranging from economic strain to internal security vulnerabilities, require inclusive dialogue and cohesive nation-building, not the incarceration of those who demand a better society.

I urge the relevant authorities to ensure that the rule of law is strictly adhered to, that Mr. Sowore’s constitutional rights are fully protected, and that our security and judicial institutions are used solely for the impartial administration of justice. We cannot build a New Nigeria if we continue to undermine the very democratic structures meant to protect us all. -PO

These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.

They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.

These are the names I could copy:

IMF and World Bank-Backed Reforms Have Spiked Nigeria's Meat Prices

The latest spike in Nigerian meat and egg prices can be traced to the United States using financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to sabotage the Giant of Africa. With Nigerian children now facing growth stunts and developmental delays, how can Nigeria’s economy ever power through to lead Africa’s growth in the 21st century?
