If you wait long enough as a young woman, all of the experiences men promise you in return for sexual relationships with them, a woman will gift to you, or you start earning enough to gift them to yourself.
Listen to me: WAIT.
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart. I recently got admitted into an international school to pursue my MSc, which is a huge step toward my dreams.
I’ve already paid my tuition deposit, which secures my place at the university.
Who is Sunday Jackson?
Sunday is a simple Christian farmer from Adamawa State.
He was attacked by a knife-wielding Fulani terrorist while trying to get food for his family.
Somehow, he overpowered the herder, and stabbed him to death - a clear act of self-defense.
What did the Nigerian Judiciary rule?
That even if the weapon belonged to the attacker; that even if the terrorist intended to kill Sunday, SUNDAY SHOULD HAVE RUN AWAY INSTEAD OF DEFENDING HIMSELF, and for killing his attacker, Sunday should face the deaath penalty.
The Nigerian Supreme Court, led by Justice Kekere-Ekun, UPHELD this barbaric ruling.
Dear Nigerian,
In case you don't understand what this means, it implies that if you are attacked and you act in self defense and kill your attacker, you must d!e.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent against your self preservation.
This ruling gives terrorists the judicial right to k!ll you.
It is time to disband this clown show of a judiciary.
It is time to destroy this disaster of an executive.
It is time to tear down this travesty of a legislature.
The longer we wait before we #KillAPC, the more innocent people d!e
I cannot wait.
I’ve gone quieter, my light has dimmed, I barely have any thoughts, I spend 90% of my day sighing, I look back at the old me and I cannot identify with her anymore, akhonto ihlekisayo.
lol in my house, everybody eats bread before me because once I handle it, it’s gone.
Me that eats bread to while away time, bread that’s like Tom Tom in my eyes
Let me break it down for you.
AKPABIO VS NATASHA
• July 2024: Initial Confrontation
During a Senate plenary session, Senator Natasha attempted to speak without being recognized, prompting Akpabio to remark.
What was the remark Senator Akpabio made ?
Short thread 🧵
Akpabio-Natasha: Let’s Protect the Institution, Not Individuals
I have watched from afar the recent development in the Senate between the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the Senator from Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. It is a development that has made me sad because of its overall negative effect on the integrity, sanctity, image, and public perception of the institution. I believe that every person who has had anything to do with the National Assembly, particularly as a leader, member, and worker should always jealously protect these values which make the institution, the numero uno, among the three arms of government.
It is for these reasons that I believe that the two parties in this dispute and their supporters in and out of the chamber should be mindful of the impact of their actions, inactions, reactions, claims, and counter-claims to be sure that nothing is done to rubbish the institution. The constitution, laws of the country, rules of the Senate as well as parliamentary conventions and practices should be adhered to in resolving the issue. And the resolution should be done transparently without being seen to be protective of any of the parties. Rather, the objectives should be to unfold the truth and to protect the law-making institution against a wrong perception of involvement in or tolerance of lawbreaking.
At this point, with the public claims made by the Senator, the right measure to take is to institute an open, transparent, and honest investigation by the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions. Both parties must submit to the investigation, fully cooperate with the committee, and stake their claims before it. This is not the first time a Senate President would appear before the Committee to aid it in the conduct of a transparent and open investigation. I remember during the 8th Senate when a Senator claimed that I imported an official car for my use as Senate President and that customs duty was not paid on the vehicle. Since I knew the claim was false, the matter was referred to the Ethics Committee and I appeared before the committee to testify, in the full glare of the media. From my testimony, it was clear the Senator who made the allegation got his facts wrong and was only being mischievous.
Also, on the day the committee submitted its report for debate on the floor, I stepped down and allowed my deputy to preside. The transparent manner in which the investigation and the debate on the report were handled assured everybody that there was no case. This is a precedent that the leadership of the 10th Senate should follow.
In my case, the decision to allow an open investigation and subjecting myself to it was not an easy one. It was humbling but I realized that was the best decision and in the end I am happy I travelled that route.
We should not allow the Senate to be cast in the shroud of an institution encouraging sexual harassment, gender bias, abuse of office, flagrant disregard for standing orders and rules, and lack of orderliness. This is what a transparent, open, and unbiased investigation should achieve. The due process should be followed in this case such that where anybody is found to have committed any wrong, the wrong should be pointed out and corrected. Also, the right remedy should be made.
Let me make it clear without any ambiguity that I am neither stating that Akpabio is guilty of anything nor am I expressing the opinion that Senator Akpoti Uduaghan is right in her actions and claims. My position is that an investigation is needed to find out the truth and protect the integrity of the Senate.
For me, the institution of the Senate is so important, sacred, and pre-eminent. All lovers of democracy should always work to strengthen it. No leader or member should be allowed to openly or surreptitiously work to subvert its sanctity.
Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON
former Senate President and Waziri of Ilorin
Bukola Saraki had a similar ordeal when he was the Senate president. Not sexual harassment but he was accused for something else. Saraki stepped down during the investigation and his deputy presided in the full glare of the media.
We have gone from that to what happened today.
