The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".
You know what's interesting? Jesus didn't flog the people at the temple for some illegal activity, they were the people who sold the animals used for sacrifice.
Sometimes, we subtly replace God with economic activity masked as God, and you may be so convinced that it's for God.
The people of Jos deserve to tear down whatever is left of this country, because this is very irresponsible.
How can you go on for more than two generations and it’s just religious based violence after another. What in the actual hell is going on in this country.
It's how the Bible puts it; This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. Hebrews 4:15 NLT.
This God gets it. Bring shame, he gets it. Bring betrayal, he gets it. Bring homelessness, he gets it. Come to him
PortHarcourt is turning into a laughing stock city and I'm not kidding.
-Entertainment? We are barely surviving.
-Road network? Nothing to write home about, incomplete projects up and down.
-Electricity? the whole city is dark, PHED keeps giving flimsy excuses.
-Sports? We do not even have maintenance set in place for our stadium neither is our Int'l airport looking attractive.
The only thing they actively talk about is Politics! wtf 🤬
Next year is another election and we will still be discussing politics for another four years!!!
Is this how we will maintain being a top city in Nigeria??
@SimFubaraKSC What is going on????

As we go to Church today in the North, some of us will not return home alive.
Some Churches in the North today will be set ablaze and the media won't report it.
As we carry our Bible and walk down the street to Church, our neighbors will murmur, "INFIDELS" wishing us death.
In some Churches today, in the North, gunmen will enter and fire bullets on people and the media won't report it.
On almost every wall and overhead bridge in the North, you'll see the inscription, "FREE PALESTINE, DEATH TO ZIONIST."
Of course, we are not scared of losing our lives again, since we are used to it and have laid it down at HIS feet.
Many people can't remember the last time they went to church in the North, because they are either scared or they have been victims of extremists.
Some of us have lost loved ones in their hands.
To the Elects in the South, please pray for us. Pray for our safety. Pray for our freedom. Pray for help to locate us from Zion.
PRAY FOR THE NORTHERN CHURCH.
DON'T CEASE TO MENTION US IN YOUR PRAYER.
We are being massacred for our faith. We are hated for saying Jesus is the son of God. We are burnt for calling ourselves children of God.
We are kllled for saying JESUS IS GOD—that's our only crime.
PRAY FOR THE NORTHERN CHURCH.
We need to make kindness popular in Nigeria. We are a deeply unkind people. We are so removed from the plight of others, it's insane.
We are so comfortable with using people until there's nothing left even for them. I don't know, but this is not the Nigeria I desire, men.
The Nigerians who you are in office to serve wake up everyday and work so damn hard morning till night, yet can’t afford to eat, go to school or put a roof over their heads.
Everything is so freaking expensive from food to transportation, electricity, BASIC THINGS for goodness sake. Nobody has asked to be able to afford designer bags - just that we should not go deaf from generator noise, that hospitals should be equipped for emergencies, that roads should be motorable and safe, that food shouldn’t be a luxury, that human lives should have value.
The little that people manage to gather at the end of the day despite the hardship, you decide to tax them more. On top of that, you wake up from nowhere to say you’re increasing the cost of getting a passport??? PRIORITIES FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!
The same passport that is ranked 87th out of 98 in the world? Giant of Africa but we’re only 5 spots away from North Korea in mobility? Same passport that raises eyebrows when you whip out at an airport? It’s always to take, take and take, more and more, over and over while things stay the same and even get worse. It’s so exhausting.
Call it a year ke? Better cry, eat ad keep going o.
ALLLL the promises God made to me at the start of the year will unfold first. Even if it remains 2 seconds left in 2025, I pin!
I still have pending congratulations left, relax!
Can a pregnant woman living with HIV have a vaginal delivery and can she breastfeed?
The answer is yes and no... because, like a WiFi signal, it all depends on how strong the viral load is!
Let’s break it down (gently, unlike labor)
