This lie is just so funny. Thousands of Nigerians walk around with the idea that Boko Haram A) was willing to negotiate, whatever that means and B) they named Buhari as one. So hilarious, and people who believe it are so stubborn in their delusion.

@Promythious the same Buhari said "a fight against Boko Haram is a fight against the north". Boko Haram named Buhari as a negotiator. Northern elites cried wolf when azubike ihejirika went on a rampage against Boko Haram in Jonathan's last months. Let's not change history, abeg.

@UnamIkot_ @malik672_ It was under him that most of these territories were reclaimed.
English
@malik672_ @Promythious yes. Boko haram controlled territories of local governments in Borno. At least SIX. Buhari had always been thoroughly incompetent. He was competently incompetent.
English
From all the papers I’m reading, Buhari tried his best militarily. But you cannot give what you don’t have. The Nigerian state is simply incapable of dealing with these guys as currently constituted.

No wonder they all hate Saldika. Nigerians hate the truth more than anything.

Yar'Adua created a big mess for Nigeria and Goodluck by reversing Ọbásanjọ́'s last minute fuel subsidy decision.
Nigeria was drowning in debt and some oil marketers were getting richer.
Goodluck had no choice but to increase fuel price by 117% just 2 years after his death.

In an ideal world should people be proud of supporting Yaradua, Nigeria is so funny

@kpesemi Yeah, ISWAP is surprisingly very disciplined. No drinking, smoking or extramarital sex. Bandits are heavily involved in these things, part of why they cannot unite and sometimes fight each other.
English
Banditry is worse because A) they are heavily armed and probably more well funded than terrorists because of success from kidnappings and B) they are heavily decentralized and integrate more easily with host communities since they have no ideological grouses

From the papers I’m reading, banditry is actually a worse problem than terrorism, At least since 2021. They’ve caused a bigger humanitarian crisis in the NW than the NE. Probably why the military asked the US to bomb Sokoto first.

I like when people want to insult me and they go
“She is intelligent but..”
“And na smart babe o”
“The thing is, she’s actually smart…”
I don’t read anything after that.
See no evil

Cause I’m not saying what they want to hear 🫠
It’s always amusing cause I used to do a lot of economic breakdown analysis on my page with these guys filling my comments with “thank you for this” “i now understand better” “you are really smart”
Then I started applying this analysis to Nigeria and it became “APC bot” “stupid girl” “paid gig”…. They switched up on me.
So I’m smart when I make explainers and general academic tweets, but you somehow believe that this wisdom which you have so praised, deletes in political conversations that don’t suit your agenda. Fairs.

Our educational system in the mud.
On this app niggas were saying Obi's first action will be to sack all the members of the legislature and idiots were cheering and agreeing that that's the best thing to do.

No, a president can’t randomly just suspend a gov. Jonathan tried to suspend Borno’s state gov. He was blocked.

Less focus on people's backgrounds and more on their policy preferences, would do us a lot of good.
People with PhDs have advocated for some very funky things and would continue to. It's why nobody should be above criticism. Nobel prize winners still have their ideas debated.

Something Ayobami said on that podcast that I was surprised that a lot of people didn’t know is the fact that we’re being led by the smartest people in the country. I’ve always thought it was common knowledge.

Accepting this also means we must embrace the 'low IQ country' tag, because what do you mean Monday Okpebholo is among the smartest in your state? 💀

@eta_habyb @I_rawo It’s really that simple. We already have smart people in politics/government; we should align ourselves with the ones who have the right incentives.

Yeah, he's crazy.
If my company gets sold and I see $180m inside, that's the end.
I'm quitting everything and retiring permanently. I'm not Elon Musk.
