American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?
Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.
American: Oh. What did he say?
Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book
American: ...The law of love?
Nigerian: I guess
American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?
Nigerian: Hmm... at times.
American: What do you mean "at times"?
Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.
American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?
Nigerian: Mm... nah.
American: What do you mean "nah"?
Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.
American: Hold on. The prodigal son?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?
Nigerian: Something like that.
American: So you guys aren't doing anything?
Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.
American: Okay. What are you doing?
Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.
American: You're... rehabilitating them?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Not prosecuting them?
Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.
American: WTF WTF WTF
Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry
Every Top perfume Influencer I know online ended up Falling Terribly Ill after a few years. I fear that constantly inhaling so many Strong Perfumed Chemicals messes up their system over time. My Fave The Cologne boy just survived a Brain Tumor. I might be wrong tho. 🧐😰
MKO Abiola died for a mandate that was stolen.
We named a holiday after him.
The people who stole the mandate named the holiday.

While I was at Sterling Bank HQ yesterday, I observed something that impressed me.
This solar car park powers the whole building.
This investment saves them billions of naira annually.
The future is actually solar energy.
The average Nigerian politician sees Peter Obi as a direct threat to their source of livelihood. It unsettles them that a man who has conquered greed could step into the arena. Their greatest shock is discovering they cannot dig up dirt on him. That failure is a major blow to their playbook. Hence, the relentless campaign of calumny against him.
Which secondary school did you attend?

Command Secondary School, Abakaliki.
Drop yours below and tell us one thing you’ll never forget about your school days.
Why does the President hardly ever address the nation despite the relentless insurgency, kidnappings, and insecurity that Nigerians face every day?
People are being killed. Children are being abducted. Communities are living in fear.
In many countries, leaders speak directly to their citizens during moments of crisis to reassure them, explain actions being taken, and show that they understand the pain of the people.
The silence is becoming as disturbing as the insecurity itself.
Are Nigerians not human beings?
