la plupart des journalistes qui nous montraient en direct ce qu’il se passe à Gaza ont été tués par Isr*el alors qd vs tombez sur ne serait-ce qu’une seule vidéo c’est important de relayer au maximum !!!
When you see a sentiment like this expressed, you understand the average Nigerian's view of politics & governance very clearly.
Because it is the government.
It is literally the job of the government to enforce law and order, the purpose of which is to, over time, condition the behaviours of the citizenry. The fact that people cannot see this, or refuse to, is utterly puzzling.
This is why we speak of elections like it's the Champions League final, or Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo. For some strange reason, the idea that our political office holders are responsible for the quality of our lives is inconceivable to even the schooled among us.
There has been very little coverage for this.
It's been so sad to see communities in Nigeria facing a double tragedy:
•The first being the tragedy of physical violence meted on them by militias, terrorists etc.
•The second being the tragedy of silence around their suffering.
It’s been 77 days since 42 school children, young children full of dreams for the future, were abducted from their school in Askira-Uba, Borno state and there’s been no update on efforts made to rescue them. @officialABAT@ProfZulum@HQNigerianArmy#BringBackOurChildren
While we still painfully await the rescue of the Borno schoolchildren, our nation continues to witness one tragedy after another. Scores have also been kidnapped across different parts of the country. Innocent people were slaughtered in Kaduna, and just yesterday we received the devastating news of the killing of a gallant military colonel who paid the ultimate price while defending his family.
When will these senseless killings end? How much more blood must be shed before decisive action is taken????

Seven Questions Were Asked:
“Why is it that the word communism makes you immediately think of Soviet gulags, but when someone says capitalism, you don’t think of Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo, or the fact that the United States maintains the largest prison-industrial complex in human history and incarcerates more people than any country on Earth?
Why is it that you just know that the people of the DPRK are definitely brainwashed, but simultaneously ignore all of the publicly available CIA documents admitting to funding psychological operations and media campaigns to ideologically condition their own citizens?
Why does the mere mention of communism make you think famine, but when you're presented with the 18 million intentionally starved in India under British rule and a third of the Irish population wiped out by the same people, there is no mention of capitalism?
Why do you believe that communism crushes dissenting voices, but haven’t even heard of Germany's suppression of the Herero and Nama people’s rebellion in Namibia that wiped out 70% and 50% of their populations and forced the rest into concentration camps, or the hundreds of thousands of Kenyans murdered and tortured in the British suppression of the Mau Mau rebellion, or the three million Indonesians slaughtered by the CIA-backed Suharto in the name of eradicating evil communism?
Why is it that you can pinpoint Mao as a murderous leader in history, but you never think about King Leopold slaughtering and torturing 15 million Congolese, having their limbs severed, all for rubber quotas, or that, under Nixon, Laos became the most bombed country in history?
Why is it that you can say communism killed 100 million as though it is fact, but when you're confronted with the reality that the genocide of the Indigenous people of Turtle Island alone exceeds 140 million, you refuse to attribute it to capitalism?
Why is it that you can recite these alleged crimes of communism without any investigation but with so much conviction, and yet none of the millions of verified atrocities over hundreds of years ever get laid at the feet of capitalism?
It’s been 68 days since 42 students, young children full of dreams for the future, were abducted from their school in Askira-Uba, Borno state and their dreams have been on hold since. @officialABAT@ProfZulum@HQNigerianArmy we are still waiting for our children!!!
‘Managing’ is putting it lightly. Iraq’s oil revenue is deposited into a bank account in New York under U.S. supervision. The funds are then released to Iraq as physical U.S. dollars, flown into the country on cargo planes.
On several occasions, billions of dollars have gone missing with little or no meaningful accountability.
It gets worse. The U.S. can, and has, withheld access to these funds when Iraqi politicians pursued regional or domestic political alliances that Washington opposed.
Think of that for a minute. Is there a single country in the world where China or even Russia does this?
Here's some food for thought:
Last year, about 100 women died at childbirth in UK🇬🇧 .
In Norway 🇳🇴, not a single woman died at childbirth last year.
In contrast, 75,000 women died at childbirth last year in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
This. Is. Not. Acceptable.
