Imagine a world without boundaries; where my neighbors, friends, brothers and sisters are not defined by any garb. We are firstly HUMANS before any coloration. #HumanityIsCaring #AllLivesMatter #LetHumanityBreathe #SayNoToHumanSuffocation

@egi_nupe You can't become what you are fighting to set right what you are fighting for.

@bellosaleh Gaskiya, I love how you've spinned their iskanchi. It's annoying when some people think they have the monopoly of academic knowledge. Time will tell, and they'll realize that they'd lived in a fool's paradise for too long to have noticed the paradigm shift.

[Alex Lovely @philimma4u]

@IU_Wakilii We seem to throw away the fact that INTEREST is all that matters to politicians and IMMEDIATE GAINS to core electorates. A typical Nigerian is swayed by the moment and not period . As such, trying to plot an election trajectory before its time can be deemed an academic exercise.

We will be just fine

[Alex Lovely @philimma4u]

If we can just all be humans without the garb of religion and tribe, I think we'll be just fine.

Surprisingly to everyone, the manager said he should use the AC. So, nothing was faulty about the AC and Nigerians were willing to travel without it after paying for it. That's how we traveled all the way with the AC and everyone was happy.

Bro, I fight for me and not anyone when push gets to shove. Once I couldn't get a morning flight to Ilorin from Abuja and needed to be home same day, I booked a fully air conditioned bus to Ibadan. Vehicle loaded and took off.

A thread

[Jeff George ™ @jhon_odey]

Nigerians are cowards.

I remember one incident at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry some years ago when my wife and I registered our marriage. Anyone who has registered a marriage here or perhaps anywhere else would testify that after paying the requisite government-approved fee, all the couples would be lined up and made to pay an additional 500 naira, which must be in cash.

That day, I was furious and demanded loudly an explanation of what the extra 500 naira cash was for after paying the requisite fee. The agents couldn’t explain it, yet they maintained that despite paying the requisite fee if I did not pay the 500 naira cash, my partner and I would not be allowed to register our marriage.

I looked at everyone on the line, hoping to garner back-up so we could push back on the blatant extortion. I swear, all of them just Dey look me. While their demeanor indicated that they knew I was right about the fact that we were being extorted, they didn’t support me. I was alone, now looking like a fool, while everyone else paid the 500 naira cash and moved inside.

My partner gently tapped me and said, “See the people you are fighting for. Better let’s pay this chicken change and go home.” I couldn’t believe it.

I eventually paid the 500 naira cash and left, but I told myself that I would never make a fool of myself over Nigerians like that again.

On approaching their exit gate, I asked why the AC wasn't on. Driver said it was faulty. At this time he was out of their park. I demanded he returned to the park cos I paid for it and I won't travel without it. Other passengers pleaded that it's a long journey & I should let go.

[Alex Lovely @philimma4u]

I insisted he stopped the car right there. He did, passengers who paid for same service I did were willing to travel without what they paid for. I stood my ground and the driver called the park manager and reported that a passenger is insisting on using the AC.

...A country of 200 million people that isn’t known to dominate any sport in the world speaks to a collective commitment to mediocrity more than it does anything else.

The real tragedy is, we think we are all that. We think we are the smartest in the room just because we can be the loudest. We end up being on the receiving end of wrong perceptions for crimes that other nationals make far bigger ends from.

That attitude, the thinking that we are smarter than others, is a recipe for repeatedly getting fooled by those who know how to play on that cognitive weakness. It is one of the reasons Ponzi schemes find a fertile ground in our country.

[Alex Lovely @philimma4u]

Absolutely agree with you!
We are firstly humans before any garb of religion, culture, tribe and a tongue.

[Ahmed Musa (MON) (OON) 🎖️🎖️ @Ahmedmusa718]

It’s unfortunate that my previous post was misunderstood by some; albeit by people who dont know me. For perspective sake, my mother was Christian and my father Muslim. As someone who was raised to know both religion, it means anything that happens in this country affects me either way. That said, my words were never about religion—they were about humanity. We should NEVER justify loss of lives.

It’s painful to see how quickly people jump to division instead of understanding. Must we always see things through the lens of religion, tribe, or politics? When innocent lives are lost in such a horrific way, the first thing we should feel is compassion, not argument.

At the end of the day, we are humans first—before religion, before language, before race. If we lose sight of that, then what’s left of us? 💔

This is the last I’ll say on this matter. I pray for peace to reign. 🕊️
