Now that RAT say make we dey sell corn and akara, a lot of you people have been coming out to say “you people’s mother sold akara to send you to school”
I thought you people said men are the only ones providing
mind you, their kids do not do orientation. the then VP's daughter was in my camp, a car waited for her while she did her registration in all but 10 minutes and she was gone. next time we saw her was passing out parade, where she just took photos and was gone again.
Today, another set of students kindnapped in Borno. An “unspecified number”. While they were writing their NECO exams. IN THE SAME LGA where the previous students (CHILDREN) were also kidnapped. You would assume that after that incident, there would be proper military presence
Yesterday, areas in Gbagada, Shomolu, Ogudu, Ilupeju & Maryland flooded, these are most of the better planned areas on the mainland. Yet Tokunbo is online speaking English & trying to shift blame instead of hiding his face shame and apologizing for being a consistent failure
If you live in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom and you're supporting a move where the First Lady holds a press conference to announce supporting petty trade with $36, $51 CAD or £26 you're really just a wicked person.
You know that any politician that announces that where you live will lose their jobs immediately.
But here you are justifying this as a poverty reduction programme and arguing it's benefits.
You really are just wicked.
It's people saying this akara statement is not funny, for me. When has anything ever been funny?
Was it funny when they were beating people at polling stations? Or when they kidnapped babies still suckling at the breasts of their mothers?
See our journey in front of us.
That Prince Adeyemi man said he paid 400 million ($285,000) out a 600 million ($429,000) deal with Gbaja
The man also alleged that Gbaja asked for 48% of any grant given to the agency.
How is this not making media headlines??
We grew up believing that politics was a dirty game and somehow allowed the ‘hoodlums’ we knew in school occupy political seats and we the supposed ‘good’ ones are at their mercy.
We are the biggest fools. Evil thrives because good people say and do nothing
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
Dipo in 2018 reviewing CV: “Reframe your achievements, quantify your impact, use action verbs, ATS optimization, personal branding, it’s your Linkedln.”
Dipo in 2026: “But have you considered akara frying?”
Awolowo said he doesn't want the children of his cooks or drivers to turn out to be cooks and drivers themselves, reason he made sure free and qualitative education was available to all in the Western region.
People dey defend frying Akara as economic empowerment in 2026

You said akara business is very profitable, that the woman selling akara is making at least 150k monthly— that’s more than the current minimum wage.
I said okay, let me give you some capital & give your mother to start selling akara. You said I’m being disrespectful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He didn’t ask you to fry akara.
He didn’t ask you to roast corn.
He didn’t ask you to bake kulikuli.
He didn’t ask you to hold your governors.
He didn’t gaslight you. He gave no excuses.
He simply went to work & created the millions of now — disappearing middle class families.
