@mustapher_@MalcolmAlkalee These are human challenges not arewa challenges. You find it among all tribes and race.
Ability to assembly the right team is the most important task
She stood at the doorway for a few seconds. Long enough to notice the blood running down my shin. Long enough to notice I was shaking.
The first thing she reached for wasn’t me.
It was the cane.
She wanted to know why I had climbed the fence. Why my school uniform was torn. Why the neighbors had to be the ones bringing me home.
By the time she was done asking questions, I had forgotten my leg hurt.
Growing up, I learned that in some homes, pain wasn’t measured by the size of your wound. It was measured by the embarrassment you caused your parents.
The cut healed after a few weeks.
The fear of coming home whenever something bad happened took years.
People say African parents love differently. Maybe some do. But somewhere across the continent, there’s a child rehearsing excuses for an accident before they even think about asking for help.
Because they’ve learned that bleeding is forgivable.
Being an inconvenience isn’t.
This guy is back in Nigeria to interview another young billionaire, Mr lyinoluwa Aboyeji, he has built a 2 billion dollar company and Mark Zuckerberg ended up investing in one of his companies too🥶✨
Certainly, @Verydakman will come under attack for having the courage to say what many have refused to acknowledge about the crisis in North Central Nigeria, particularly in Plateau and Benue states.
The activist is right to point out that much of the violence revolves around the long-running farmers-herders conflict. Attacks on farmlands often trigger retaliatory attacks, just as the killing or rustling of livestock frequently leads to another cycle of reprisals. This pattern of revenge has fueled the violence for years.
The narrative that the conflict is solely driven by a grand agenda to establish an Islamic caliphate or seize land for Fulani people is also FALSE.
This claims have sometimes overshadowed the complex realities on the ground, including competition over land and resources, criminality, weak governance, and cycles of retaliation, while distracting citizens from demanding effective security and governance from their leaders.
There are hundreds of documented reports, investigations, and case records that examine the multiple drivers of the conflict. Any lasting solution must be based on evidence, accountability, justice for victims, and an honest assessment of the facts rather than narratives that deepen division.
Big respect to this young man for stopping and helping our elder with his flat.
We see you. We’re making a list and checking it twice.
Real recognize real. 💯
