Do you people even know bad things are in Kogi state ?

Lmfao Someone will tell me Seyi Makinde is a better Governor than Ododo

[Turaki of Ilorin 🇳🇬 @McDivad]

Every morning, the pictures looked perfect.

A smiling selfie in neatly ironed clothes. A tweet about gratitude. A status update that read, "God has been faithful." Sometimes a photo from a restaurant, carefully cropped so nobody would notice that only one drink had been ordered and the free Wi-Fi was the real attraction.

Online, life appeared calm and colourful.

Offline, reality had a different voice.

The alarm rang at 5 a.m., not because there was somewhere important to be, but because missing the staff bus meant spending half the day's transport fare.

The salary arrived like a visitor who greeted everyone and left almost immediately. Rent took its share. Transport demanded its own. Data subscriptions refused to be ignored. Food prices climbed like they were competing in a race nobody else knew about.

By the second week of the month, survival had become mathematics.

Not the mathematics taught in school, but the kind that asked difficult questions.

Should breakfast be skipped to save money for transport?

Should electricity units be bought or should that money go toward cooking gas?

Should a parent be told the truth, or should another message be sent saying, "I'm fine, don't worry about me"?

Yet, every evening, social media received another smiling face.

Not because life was beautiful.

But because nobody wanted pity.

Everyone seemed to be winning. Friends were posting vacations, weddings, new cars and promotions. Some were genuine. Others were experts at hiding storms behind filters.

Deep inside, exhaustion grew.

The dreams were still alive, but they had become quieter. The excitement of graduation had slowly given way to the reality of adulthood. Degrees sat proudly on walls while employers offered salaries that seemed to have been calculated in another century.

Still, hope refused to die.

In buses, thousands of young people listened to motivational podcasts while worrying about unpaid bills. In crowded offices, they laughed with colleagues despite calculating how many cups of garri were left at home.

In church pews and mosque rows, they prayed harder than they had ever prayed before.

And somehow, they continued.

Not because they were okay.

But because they had mastered the art of carrying invisible burdens.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about them was not the smiles they posted online.

It was the strength hidden behind those smiles.

Because every day, despite disappointment, despite inflation, despite salaries that disappeared faster than they arrived, despite dreams that seemed delayed, they woke up again, wore their best faces, and stepped into another day with a stubborn belief that somehow, someday, life would finally become kinder.

And maybe that was their greatest wealth.

Not money.

Not luxury.

But hope.

The one thing poverty had tried repeatedly to steal and had somehow failed to take ❤️

You and your oga oro yin ma da ojuru ni

[Daddy D.O🇳🇬 @DOlusegun]

My boss has taken full responsibility for the incident and has been on top of rescue efforts. At no point did we mention Seyi Makinde and unlike GEJ and the PDP in 2014, we never denied that the incident is a made up lie. Stop twisting history to justify your lack of humanity

@Hamad_Gaskia @officialABAT The environment is different. Actors consistently refused to support terrorism

[Senior Man @Seyi__]

Funny how they didn't turn the killings in Kwara, Plateau and Benue on the respective governments. Because those governments belong to APC. They were quite tepid in calling the states out but today, you will think Seyi controls the military.

[Toluwani @gabe_teee]

APC blamed Jonathan for Chibok girls but Makinde is to be blamed for the Ogbomosho students?
APC is a political party sent down by Satan himself to destroy Nigeria.

[Oluwadamilare Fabiyi of #Geni @therealFadaca]

I can’t find anyone blaming the Kwara State Governor for this. I also can’t see any visible effort being made by the Kwara State Government to rescue those affected.

In fact, the Governor of Kwara met with Tinubu yesterday and did not publicly address the recurring killings taking place in his state.

Instead, he reportedly went to discuss issues such as the minimum wage. I am not surprised, APC often appears more concerned about politics than governance.

Now, they are trying to portray Seyi Makinde who is the only governor who has consistently shown genuine concern for security and has been advocating for state policing and a regional security architecture as the villain.

[Oluwadamilare Fabiyi of #Geni @therealFadaca]

They kill people in Kwara everyday including yesterday by the way.

This man has not told him to fix Kwara and neither is the Governor talking about the insecurity.

But Seyi Makinde that is calling for a security architecture and the President inactions is the inept. Useless APC bots.

[Oluwatosin @kingstone_18]

This is why I'll forever hate them. Just everything be about politics ?

[Máfejópamí @VillageParrot]

There’s something Tinubu supporters do that you need to clock.

When you talk about governance, they find a way to pivot the conversation and make it political.

A 2-year old in the captivity of terrorists does not need to understand politics. Bola Ahmed Tinubu failed him!

[Arinze Odira @CaptainArinze]

Musa is another proof that we all fall to the level of our system. You can’t be bigger than the system you operate in.

We celebrated his appointment as Defence Minister, but unfortunately, he has fallen to the level of the system in place.

[Oluwatosin @kingstone_18]

O ni jere. Oya block me

[Bolaji Fesomade @MasterBolaji]

You said the Presidency was silent about the abduction & hadn't visited the scene.

Today, a delegation went there. Now you say it's just for optics. Why are you this insensitive?

This isn't the time for this. Lives are at stake. If you make careless comments, I'll block you.
