I’m extremely disappointed in us as Nigerian youths. Extremely.
I woke up this morning to get ready for work without electricity and without water. The last time we had power in my area was Saturday morning. This is Abule Ijesha, Lagos.
I work a 9–5. I earn a substantial amount every month, and yet I’m still dealing with something as basic as the lack of electricity and water.
And meanwhile, young people on Twitter are still allowing tribal sentiments and religious affiliations to divide us in 2026.
Do you people not understand how limited you are compared to young people in developed countries? Do you not understand that if anything happens right now, the politicians who are the most privileged among us have the means to leave this country while the rest of us remain here to deal with the consequences?
Do you genuinely think the elites care about the tribal and religious divisions they use to keep us fighting each other?
Your Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources in Lagos can be online flaunting a Patek Philippe while young people are struggling with basic infrastructure. And this is just a Commissioner.
They know exactly what they’re doing. They know that as long as we’re distracted by tribe, religion, sex, politics and whatever other silly division they can exploit, we won’t look up and ask the people actually responsible for our living conditions the difficult questions.
This is disgusting.
And honestly, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Not because we are powerless, but because we have failed woefully to recognize where our collective interests lie.
We keep fighting each other while the people benefiting from this dysfunction continue to live above the consequences of it.
We need to do better.

Nigerians are sharing tips on how to avoid being kidnapped lmao. There is no way to avoid being kidnapped unless you want to remain inside your house till you die. We cannot “safety tip” your way out of it, things have to change. This is a structural issue.

[Nans, Esq. @nansbello]

I remember when someone shared the news about some corpers that were kidnapped some weeks back and the cds officer in the group deleted the message and said “it has not been officially confirmed by nysc” and till date, we still no get that confirmation.

“Are you satisfied”

From a public servant is nasty.

Zero regard for the people you’re supposed to serve at all.

God forbid.

her referring to the rapists as "boys" and calling the victim a "woman"

[Zoya @Zoyag9fc]

“They gang raped a woman but we can’t expel them as they have promising futures.”

This is exactly why a rapist became president.

[Lina @zoid269]

why are men so worried about getting raped in prison? not all men are rapists.

[Samuel K @SamuelKOfficial]

Arguably no other crime in modern times revealed the extent to which international law is a complete farce.

‘God Save Me’.

That was the graffiti (pictured below) imprinted on a car by an unknown African migrant held hostage at a trafficking house in Ghut Shaal, Janzur, in north-western Libya.

In truth, only God can save any migrant who gets stuck in Libya after abandonment by heartless Libyan traffickers and kidnappers or arrest and detention by the police. But the mortal that I only am, I am determined to save as many migrants as possible from asking God to save them after embarking on an ill-advised trip to Libya.

Therefore, starting tomorrow and for the next 20 days, I’ll be on a campaign of short videos enlightening the public on why they should steer clear of Libya. These videos will be on all social media platforms, but my primary targets are Tiktok and Facebook, where traffickers often hoodwink unsuspecting youth with fake promises of a better life.

For the first 10 days, my messages will be released in English (morning) and Pidgin (evening).

The final 10 days will be made in Hausa (morning), Igbo (afternoon) and Yoruba (evening), consequently eliminating language barriers among subliterates and illiterates, who constitute the prime target groups of traffickers.

I know some will only learn by experience and will proceed to Libya regardless of advisories to the contrary, but I also know many would stay put in Nigeria if they had access to credible information.

Migrants like ‘Para’ and Samuel who told me “I wouldn’t have come if I knew I would suffer this much”, those are my targets. So help me God!

[Med ceejay @medcjayy1]

Nigerians will literally go to lengths to be tribalistic, homophobic and misogynistic and then go abroad and complain about racism.
Lol.

[Nans, Esq. @nansbello]

There isn’t a single form of activism in this world that isn’t selective. The irony here is that you saying this is also a form of selective activism. You people should keep these faux outrages to yourselves and focus.

No one will ever love you Ben like they love Miss Rachel.

I know that hurts.

Americans love to talk shit about other cultures and call us primitive and “third world,” but this is their culture: PEDOPHILIA

I know we are all numb but here’s the sitting president threatening to do war crimes to 90 million people in front of the entire UN

[Daisy 🌸 @DaisyBareNaked]

It’s been nuts to watch a facist government install every classic facist technique in the playbook all while people try and look at you in the eyes and say “Trump isn’t a facist”

[Sean Biggerstaff @Seanchuckle]

No one needed to know what he thought about Palestine. No one would suspect he'd think much about it at all. What's expected of him is merely a modicum of solidarity with his fellow artists when they're right to express themselves is under attack. This is not complicated.
