With the #BBNaijaAllStars show finally coming to an end today, I want to share a few takeaways from it, especially with regards to Alex's stay in the house.

The world is gradually becoming repulsive to genuine kindness. 

Sometimes, truth isn't all that matters, a thread...

@PremierCoolNG @etimeffiong_ It is this man that I remember and celebrate today, and say Happy Posthumous International Men's Day!

To my beloved father, Chief T.U IDU, who was the most of many things to me, among which are: the kindest, strongest (yet soft on the Inside), & one of the most hardworking men I have ever known.

The man, who set the tone for my academic,economic,& political life

@PremierCoolNG @etimeffiong_ Now as an adult I realize just how much of him he had to give up, just so we could be happy and comfortable, and how much pain he had to endure in the midst of the toughest challenges we faced as a family, remaining strong for the rest of us, and COOL and resolute till the end.

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

Emotional blackmail doesn't work on everyone.
The Falanas are learned people, and it is only right for them to take whatever legal means available to them, to set the records straight, clear their names, and protect their family's reputation.

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

@bummiearo How is this even hypocrisy?
That someone through his music called out the ills of Nigerian politicians that we clearly see on a daily, and some other person making assertions about something he isn't sure about?
If the politicians had a case with Falz they also would have sued

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

Hunger knows no tribe!
And while a certain tribe still allows tribalism eat deep into their souls; turning deaf ears & blind eyes to our new reality as a nation, I am glad that the country at large is united in this.

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

Rather than address the nation to prevent the protest and a looming doom, the people were instead threatened!
I hope that the government is able to handle the aftermath.

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

It will never make sense to me how Nigerians are peacefully demanding for #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, yet the government of the day whose refusal to cut down on the cost of governance contributed to the protest, is still wasting public funds organising a "no to protest, protest"

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

Unlike the End Sars and End Police Brutality protest where the youths were the only ones on the streets protesting, we now have irrespective of the government theatrics in the days leading to the protest, parents protestingon their children's behalf!

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

In all of these, I am so glad that the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest is happening, irrespective of their threats and political gimmicks.
A hungry man they say is a angry man.
You cannot keep a whole nation hungry, yet ask her not to react!

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

As they try to push you down, you rise, standing tall like an agbala, the very sight that scares them as they scamper to hide their faces in shame!
Alua! Ada Nsukka

I’ll take the high road on my own terms.

@ulxma "You reap what you sow"

I didn't sow Tinubu but somehow I'm harvesting hardship.

Why abeg 😩

[Ụlọma 💜 @ulxma]

Tinubu’s children are the ones addressing Nigerians. We are unofficially under a political dynasty. Not even Buhari’s children had this kind of audacity.

[Lola Okunrin @lollypeezle]

“Rice is 80k” “Rice is 80k” “cement is 10,500. Tinubu wants to kill us”.

You people need to shut up. Is rice the only food in the country? There are yam, garri, potato, pap, agbado, cassava, cheap foods. Must you eat rice?

Cement is 10,500, and so? Renew your rent instead of building your house. The president is working, you all just don’t know how to manage.

[Joan Idu @joan_idu]

I would rather be a Peter Obi whose mandate was stolen, and almost a year after, the people still yearn for me, strongly believing I have so much to offer the nation, than one whose "hope" facade became despair, and the supposed "experience" narrative, a mirage.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Igbos that beat up their own son in Germany for being a nuisance in Nigeria. Ikweremadu escaped by the whisker. I see them as Independents; they won’t sugarcoat the truth because they want to be president. They don’t depend on FG handouts either

They’ve survived without Aso Rock
