The Pessimist

Here to give you the worst case scenario. Risk Assessment. Storytelling

[gst @wearegst]

Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas has joined the APC, taking its control to 30 states.

Add APGA’s endorsement of Tinubu in Anambra.

Nigeria is drifting towards a one-party state.

And 2027 won’t be APC vs opposition. It is shaping up as politicians vs the people.

Guys we cannot allow this to happen o. I’m begging you, I know we’re tired but we can’t be defeated now. Please get your PVCs, educate people around you about all the findings and research GST has been doing. Please. 😭

This is Senator Agom Jarigbe, the lawmaker Tracka has accused of routing public projects to a company allegedly linked to him, in clear conflict with procurement and ethics laws.

BTW, he joined the APC from the PDP in October 2025, and here's what he said upon defection:

"I joined the APC because President Tinubu is doing well, and I want to come in and support him."

How can a state Governor budget N68,000,000 for the Health sector and N1.2Billion to acquire vehicles and the citizens are quiet 🤐

FLASHBACK
When I questioned Senator Jarigbe about the budget he walked out of the interview https://t.co/5cxK7rqVlM

Nothing can change in Nigeria if we as citizens don’t change. We are selfish, greedy and tribalistic. We don’t want freedom. We want to be the oppressors and that’s why every leader than takes power thinks it’s their turn to oppress the citizens for their financial gain.

Until we start treating politicians as threats to our lives (which they are btw) we are not ready yet.

Good morning. The total amount of all the watches pictured here in naira is ₦3,053,142,865. Here’s what you could POSSIBLY do with it.

Not pictured is build approximately 110 to 125 standard 3-classroom blocks (at ~ ₦25 million per block).

This is a gentle reminder that as Valentines day approaches, there is a direct relationship between governance in Nigeria, and your love life as a Nigerian. The government is largely why you may be single.

Love was in the air yesterday, but every other day it’s toxic fumes and PM2.5.

Nigeria’s air pollution level is the real heartbreaker—literally.

Snake venom, oxygen in hospitals, ambulances, working firetrucks, incubators.

But check the wristwatches on public servants.

Check their cars.

Just take and take.

One day sha.

I Googled this morning how much installation of electricity transmission lines would cost in Nigeria. As at 2023, it was $931,677 per km of transmission lines. That’s roughly 1.2 billion naira now.

Hope Uzodinma and Dapo Abiodun’s watches can fund that, alone.

If you don’t know, you can draw a straight line from your lack of experiencing romance to the economic state of things. You can’t spontaneously go on dates anymore without overthinking your pocket.
It’s touching everything.
