Let me tell you something that just happened in Nigeria.
A journalist exposed a current SSA to Tinubu, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire for diverting money meant for Nigerian children classrooms.
The SSA instead of clearing the air, went to court under the guise of a government NGO. She said the report put her in “fear of death.”
How do you pay money for children classrooms to a restaurant account? @Adejoke_O_A
Guess who the court ordered to be thrown in Jail till December to decide bail for “cybercrime”? This is after he was kidnapped by the police for 10 days in 2024.
You guessed right. The journalist.
This is the SSA below. Excuse me ma. You are 67 years old. Don’t you think money for classrooms being misappropriated robs the future generation?
Politics has sustained you for half your lifetime. From commissioner to deputy governor to SSA. When will you allow it to sustain the future generation?
Arrest me too @Adejoke_O_A but you must explain how money meant for classrooms was paid into a restaurant account. Use your United Action for Change NGO.

The way a good number of women romanticise the idea of meeting a complete stranger and marrying them within 3–6 months in the name of “men know what they want” will never sit well with me.
Not to be that person, but it’s strange. And the even crazier part is how much agency you’re willing to surrender in this whole narrative. Any random stranger can walk into your life, decide he wants to marry you within six months, and you interpret that as some grand validation of your worth. “He saw my worth, that’s why he married me so quickly.”
As opposed to questioning how strange it is that you’re willing to let someone you barely know make a lifelong commitment with you. Why is his willingness to marry you so quickly the ultimate measure of your worth? Where does your own judgment, discernment and decision-making come into all of this? Do you even like the person beyond the excitement of being chosen? So many questions, very few answers, but yeah…..it is what it is.
Baffles me to see how many people think it's easy to get somebody convicted for rape just by making it up. You can barely get them done for actually raping you.
Her values however unpopular are very consistent.
Don't discriminate, don't be a bigot - especially within the context displayed on here.
Simple human values.
I believe in a world where a Palestinian child and a Jewish Israeli child growing up in the Holy Land can look forward at their life and believe it is not going to be curtailed by somebody's violence.
Because she said we should not think in “Muslim = bad”?
But when foreigners judge and deny all Nigerians access, based on crimes committed in their countries by few Nigerians, we can see how judging the many by the crimes of the few is #notgood
But now, you can't? #unanogood
this is not true. it is unfair how you’re actively trying to change the narrative.
this whole thing emanated from the just concluded U S’ midterm election. nigerian magas were saying all sorts about islam and muslims altogether, because el-sayed, a muslim, got elected into the senate, which they believe is undeserving.
uloma then said it is unfair, and a clear cut bigotry to assume the worst of people because of their faith/religion.
she never said that islam, its subscribers or its legal systems, schools of thought, etc. are above scrutiny. to even imply that is to uproot hermeneutics, to be more precise, tafsir — from islamic studies, because it is one of its key branches.
and god bearing witness, most of the muslims i have seen engaging with this whole thing have been doing it from a rebuttal and a refutation point of views, and not from a how-dare-you pov.
i don’t know man. it is not as if all this explanation even matters to the likes of you. as far as you’re concerned islam is the most cancerous thing to ever exist.
in all of this, the general elections is in two months. if, god forbids, that man wins the election again we are all done for, muslim or not. he doesn’t give two Fs whether you’re a muslim or not — kari ile ni iya ye’n. baba daada. at least he got that right.
Actually, she does. Her views on a lot of issues are more consistent than any of you lot's, and they're usually quite simple too. So it's frankly embarrassing to watch people lose their minds over them, because it shows how thick they are.

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
You’re in a country with around 50% Muslim population, speaking derogatorily about them while expecting them to join forces with you to support your candidate and remove the incumbent. There is no realistic way to achieve this without their base. You’re alienating people who have common ground with you about the disastrous state of this country on account of your bigotry. It makes no strategic or mathematical sense. If you believe voting is about numbers, act like it.
You are in Nigeria, your preferred candidate in any Presidential Elections - cannot win without the support of Nigerian Muslims;
Or maybe the best candidate in a Presidential Election, could be a Muslim.
If you like, keep talking like a White Southern Baptist in rural Alabama - who hasn't met a Muslim in his/her life.
This is why you are a human being, not a parrot - you should talk and act with full awareness of your context.
