If we're all posting our old Avatar art I might just as well join in. From 2020-2023 I tried to draw every Avatar ever shown in Atla & TLoK- every Character, Sillouethe, Shadow and Statue. This was the result. (1/28) 🧵

SOL Maxi@fuhadd_sol·26 Nis

On Saturday, in the early hours of the morning, my cousin brother who was also my seatmate in senior secondary school was murdered in his own home by five officers of the Nigerian Army. I was one of the first people to respond to the scene, and everything I am about to state is true. The officers arrived at his residence under the guise of a patrol, claiming they suspected a thief was in the compound. One of them scaled the fence over a barbed wire to open the gate for the rest. Once inside, they forcefully attempted to gain access to his room. In doing so, they discharged two shots, one of which was a headshot that pierced through the door and killed him instantly. The evidence at the scene was undeniable three bullet holes(two on the door and the killing shot that went through his head to the wall) and blood splattered across the wall. He was 24 years old, a graduate of Civil Engineering, and full of promise. Three of his siblings were present in the house that night, sleeping upstairs, and they are live witnesses to what happened. After committing this act, the officers called the police themselves, reporting that they had killed someone they had “mistakenly” suspected to be a thief. What followed made matters worse. They tampered with the scene by summoning vigilantes who cleaned up the pool of blood. All pictorial evidence is currently in the possession of the police, who have refused to release the statements of the officers involved, only confirming that the soldiers reported the killing as a mistake. It is a painful and devastating reality that the very people entrusted with our protection are now killing us in the comfort of our own homes. We demand that the @hqnigerianarmy identify and hold these five officers accountable, and that justice be delivered without delay.

The young man in this picture is DĘAD! Until his untimely death, he was a serving NYSC corps member. In his own room at Shagari Quarters, Deidei, Abuja, officers from the @HQNigerianArmy shōt and blew up his hęad claiming it was a “mistake.” Late Samad was not a criminal. He was simply serving his fatherland, only to be murdered by those paid to protect him. We demand that the military hierarchy immediately investigate this incident, punish the officers involved, and ensure his family gets justice! May this not happen to any of us. #JusticeForSamad #NYSC

Selection bias. They’re also growing up and seeing why their parents were ethnic bigots and following suit. Seeing why elders demanded unearned respect. Why adults abused children and called it discipline. Why their communities worshipped religious leaders and despots without question. Why they believed women deserve fewer rights. Why they hid sexual abuses within families. I don’t know if we should continue treating getting older as a synonym for wisdom as opposed to a mechanism for socialisation. And socialisation can pass down rot.

Could we just normalize disclosing realistic salary ranges from the start and stop playing games? The amount of companies out here hiding crucial information like they are safeguarding the codes for a nuclear arsenal is mind blowing. Candidates are expected to invest time and effort in tailoring their resume, applying for the position, screening calls, and often times multiple rounds of interviews and even unpaid tasks without even knowing what the compensation is. Let's normalize transparency from the beginning so expectations align and all parties engage knowing exactly what's on the table.

Ask him to address the nation when commanding officers of the army die on duty like this, you’ll never see him. It’s only when it comes to politics and self glorification.

Imran Muhammad@Imranmuhdz

President Tinubu mocked Atiku on privatization: No one among them (coalition leaders) is without history, the head (Atiku) was the chairman of the privatization council of Nigeria at one time. They privatized the steel industry in Delta, is it working today? They privatized Ajaokuta, is it working today? They privatized another man’s political party; that one says no.

You people really love dressing up your performative neutrality as "deep analysis" to make it sound profound. It's a lot of words to say very little. Let's actually look at this properly 🧵

Not the little B 💕✨@BlehisBack

Wait… all these tears because of Peter Obi? 😂 Now let me give you something real to cry about. I don’t believe Peter Obi (ADC) can govern this country and deliver the kind of transformation we actually want. Beyond the alliances with the same recycled wicked political class, I still have his post notifications on from my 2023 fangirl phase and I’ve taken time to read his positions on core economic issues. It’s disappointing 💔💔. Look at his comments on Sani Abacha, the tax bill, and several key policy matters, some of which were quietly deleted. You read them and just think, “nah… this is underwhelming.” 💔 Then there’s the part where we all pretend not to notice his wingmen; Dino Melaye, Nasir El-Rufai, even Atiku Abubakar all orbiting the same movement. Or are we to believe they’ve suddenly become saints cause they now associate with him? At some point, we have to admit we are just repackaging the same old corrupt system that brought us into this mess we are, with a cleaner brand name. And please, we’re past the optics of eating with school children, carrying bags at the airport… that humility theatre. It’s governance we need, not aesthetics. Yes, Bola Tinubu must go. No debate there.❌ Quite frankly, he should never even have happened in the first place‼️ But I wish we didn’t have to repeat the anybody but Jonathan(PDP) situation that made us fall into Buhari’s (APC) laps. I wish we had a real opposition; one rooted in competence, conviction, and the courage to stand against entrenched corruption, not coexist with it. Maybe the 2023 version of Peter Obi felt like that person. But 2027? I’m not convinced. Having doubts about the opposition doesn’t equate being an APC supporter‼️ But if you insist that this stance puts corn in my pocket, then I’ll gladly eat it with beans 🌽😌 Now cry moreeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Step 1- Fence sitting/testing the waters: “Peter Obi is a lesser evil” Step 2- Soft launching and getting checked: “I voted Peter Obi in 2023, cry more” Step 3 - Out of the closet: “Because you guys dragged me, now I’ll vote APC” This is their template, time and time again, they’ve used this same format. Fools! Irritants!

Dami O.@d_osinaike·14 Mar

Today I decided to show how much it costs me to buy my weekly fruits. I love eating fruit and trying to live healthy… but that’s by the way. The real story is the cost. My fruit shopping came to £50.87. If you convert that to naira, that’s roughly ₦94,000. Now, if I wanted to gaslight Nigerians, I could easily say something like: “Nigerians don’t appreciate what they have. This same fruit would cost less than ₦20k in Nigeria.” That would give the impression that food is cheaper in Nigeria than in the UK. But that would be a half truth, or what some people like to call being smart by half. Here’s the part people conveniently leave out. The minimum wage in the UK is about £12.44 per hour. That means someone earning minimum wage needs less than 5 hours of work to afford that £50 fruit basket. And before someone says it, yes, if you’re on minimum wage here you’re probably shopping in Lidl or Aldi, not casually loading £50 worth of fruit into your trolley like a wellness influencer. But that’s beside the point. Now let’s look at Nigeria. Let’s assume that same fruit basket really costs ₦20,000. Sounds cheap, right? Nigeria’s minimum wage is ₦70,000 per month. That translates to roughly ₦337 per hour. So to buy that same ₦20k fruit basket, a minimum wage worker would need to work almost 60 hours. That’s about 6½ full working days. Think about that for a moment. Someone in the UK doing the same type of low income job works about 5 hours to buy it. Someone in Nigeria may need almost a full week of work. So when people start comparing prices to gaslight you and say petrol is $4 in the US or fuel is £1.80 in the UK, ask them one simple question. How does that compare to people’s income? Because price without income context is just propaganda with numbers. Now let’s take it one step further. In the UK, the minimum wage is about £12.44 per hour and the Prime Minister earns around £83 per hour. That is roughly a £70 difference per hour. In Nigeria, the minimum wage is about ₦337 per hour and the President earns about ₦6,770 per hour before allowances. That is a difference of about ₦6,433 per hour. In percentage terms, the UK Prime Minister earns about 577% more per hour than minimum wage. Nigeria’s President earns about 1,570% more per hour than minimum wage. And that is before we even talk about the endless allowances, benefits, convoys, security votes, and other mysterious expenses that seem to multiply like rabbits. So the question is not whether things are cheap or expensive. The real question is how long the average citizen has to work to afford them. Because when people must work days for what others can buy in hours, something deeper is wrong. I’ll leave you with this. “Until all are free, all are enslaved.”

Oyibo and Oga are not igbo words. I will particularly argue about the word "oyibo" because I see you strongly site the work of Equiano. I will explain why scholars argue that the word "Oye-Eboe" documented in Equiano's autobiography, doesn't mean "white man" or "European". 1/??

star⭐@Starqueensly

Oyibo and Oga are two of the most pervasive Igbo words that have become fully embedded in Nigerian Pidgin.

Adelomo || Your Dearest HR✨@DgenzhrHub·11 Mar

Based on number 3, and to those trying to tear my knicker in my DMs let me school you a little. Aside from statutory deductions that are mandated by law, arbitrary deductions from an employee’s salary as a form of punishment are not justifiable or acceptable. Under the Labour Act (Nigeria), wages are treated as something sacred.  Section 5 of the Act clearly states that an employer cannot make deductions from a worker’s wages except where the law expressly permits it. This means deductions are typically limited to things like: • Statutory taxes (PAYE) • Pension contributions • Court-ordered payments • Recovery of an overpayment of wages • Loss or damage caused by a worker only with proper process and authorization Outside of these, employers cannot simply deduct money because someone came late, failed to submit a report, or made an error. Salary deductions should never be used as a disciplinary shortcut. In fact, labour law and employment jurisprudence in Nigeria have consistently emphasized that any deduction must either be authorised by law, consented to by the employee, or clearly backed by an agreed employment policy or contract. So what should employers do instead? If an employee commits an infraction, there are structured disciplinary mechanisms that organisations should follow: • Verbal warning • Written warning • Performance improvement plan (PIP) • Query and disciplinary hearing • Suspension (where applicable) • Termination in severe cases These processes are fair, defensible, and compliant. Using salary deductions as punishment not only undermines proper HR practice but can also expose the organisation to labour disputes at the National Industrial Court. Workplaces should run on policy, due process, and compliance , not payroll punishments. You can’t keep adopting Theory X of Douglas McGregor on your employees and expect productivity. If after this, you still have severe headaches you might want to take a training from @nsemeke33 Ife ati inoh 🫶🏽

Adelomo || Your Dearest HR✨@DgenzhrHub

Workplace shenanigans I will never fall for: 1. Employees explaining extensively why they need a leave. 2. Shrinking yourself in an environment that clearly doesn’t suit your potentials. 3. Deducting salary as an act of punishment (lateness, not submitting report). 4. “We’re a family here” right before boundaries, overtime, and job scopes disappear. 5. Expecting one person to perform three roles because they are “capable.” 6. Promotions based on favoritism instead of competence and performance. 7. Calling poor planning an “urgent task.” 8. Ignoring HR policies until a problem happens. 9. Glorifying burnout as commitment. 10. Managers who only communicate when there’s a problem. Work should be structured, respectful, and fair, not chaotic.
