Two years ago, a developer I know launched a small product here in Nigeria. Everything was going fine. Users were signing up, logging in, and using the platform daily. Then one morning he woke up to something strange. Several users were complaining their accounts had been accessed… without their permission.

@official_oSHAMO is him🔥🔥🔥🔥

Daddy, good evening, sir. I’m very sorry for disturbing you at this hour, sir. I know you are probably resting and watching the news, but I felt it was important to bring this matter to your attention before it gets out of hand. Sir, you remember your daughter that you handed over to me in holy matrimony…..yes sir, the same one we prayed over in church. Sir, there has been a development. Earlier this evening, sir, she fried plantain. Not small plantain o, sir. Golden brown, well-sliced, as a responsible husband and law-abiding citizen of the household, I positioned myself patiently, believing that in the spirit of marriage, partnership, and the vows we all witnessed that day, a portion would naturally find its way to me. But sir, nothing came. Sir, I’m not calling to fight. I just felt it was important that you, as her father, are aware of the operational pattern we are witnessing here. Maybe there was an instruction manual that did not get to me during the handover ceremony. All I’m asking for, sir, is guidance. Because if plantain can elude me today, tomorrow it might be fried yam, next tomorrow maybe asaro, and before you know it sir, we are dealing with a full-blown food distribution crisis in the marriage. Thank you for your time, sir. Please greet Mummy for me.

My husband transferred ₦5,000 to me to manage. I was so happy and thanked him warmly. But later at night while we were talking on the phone, I asked him a simple question: “Have you eaten?” He avoided the question. I asked again, and again. Finally he said something that br0ke my heart. He told me he was managing the little money left with him for the next day, so he would just sleep like that. This same man only ate around 2pm as his breakfast, because he was trying to save money, yet he still sent ₦5,000 to his family. I asked him to tell me his remaining balance. When he did, my heart dropped. ₦1,200. Just ₦1,200 left with him. At that moment I became quiet. This is not the first time he has put his family before himself, but this one touched me deeply. I told him I would send him money to eat. He refused. He kept saying “I will manage.” I ended the call quietly. Then I sent him ₦3,000 from the same ₦5,000 he sent to me. And I warned him: “Record yourself eating and send me the video before I will talk to you again.” Because he was already insisting that he would return the money. He started calling me immediately. But I refused to pick his calls. I waited. Not long after, a video came in. There he was, eating. The moment I saw it, I smiled so hard. My heart was so happy. How can a man be suffering just to make sure his family is okay? Before ending the conversation, I warned him again: “Anytime you return looking worse than the way you left this house, I will send you back to look better than when you left.” But the sweetest part? The way he was thanking me for the ₦3,000 I sent him. Meanwhile, it was the same money he sent to me earlier. Life. Good men are truly going through a lot for their families. Sometimes they keep quiet. Sometimes they sacr!fice in silence. Sometimes they go hungry, just so their family can smile. May God bless my husband. And may God bless every good man out there silently struggling to make life better for their family. Amen. © Chidinma Lynda Abayomi

Modern women obsession with "soft life" and "princess treatment" has made a whole generation of women completely blind to the brutal reality of what it actually takes for a man to provide that. You are demanding a man be endlessly romantic, available 24/7, and constantly planning aesthetic dates, while he is literally in the trenches fighting a ruthless economy to build the very empire you want to rest in. ​You cannot demand the spoils of war and then complain that the soldier is too tired to entertain you when he finally gets home. We want the absolute financial security of a conqueror, but we expect him to have the carefree personality and infinite free time of a golden retriever. A man cannot simultaneously be at peace and at war. If he is building your fortress, you have to give him the grace to be exhausted

I’m from Ekiti. My bloodline don do everything finish.😭😭😭

Propaganda I’m not falling for: “If he wanted to, he would” Because it’s a weaponized phrase to shame men into doing what women’s wants without considering stress, money, neurodivergence, culture, fear, or plain confusion. Entitled people are just the worst.

It is almost funny that people still believe Nigerians genuinely want change. I have spent time observing complaints on social media, and most of them are either performative or designed to justify pre existing hatred. Many Nigerians actively hunt for the least bad news just to maintain a constant stream of criticism against the government. I mean Nigerians are actively searching for bad news to report. A significant segment of the public is willing to see Nigeria burn if it offers proof to validate their resentment toward a presidency they already despise. Are these the same people you expect to be angry enough to demand reform? You are asking people who need dysfunction to exist to suddenly become enraged by dysfunction. Their criticism depends on failure. Progress threatens it. Do you honestly think people who emotionally thrive on outrage want sustained improvement? Until Nigerians understand that Nigeria must come before political leaders, personalities, and parties, nothing changes. When someone dies because no ambulance arrives, the tragedy barely lasts. The conversation quickly mutates into political point scoring. When a bad road is seen in Ogun State, the discussion somehow derails into Ojude Oba. From where to where? How does a governance failure become a cultural distraction? On X, you see APC supporters posting achievements or progress. Opposition groups immediately shift to rebuttal mode. When rebuttal fails, the default label becomes propaganda. Not because the claim is false, but because acknowledging any progress destabilizes a worldview built on permanent collapse. People who emotionally need Nigeria failure cannot be mobilized against it. You cannot ask someone to fight dysfunction when dysfunction is the fuel of their identity. The problem is that this does not meaningfully affect the political class. Elites adapt. It is ordinary people who absorb the cost. This is why I keep saying the Nigerian middle class, as it currently behaves, is largely useless. The Nigerian middle class is a use/less group. Loud, opinionated, politically obsessed, and unserious. I continue to write about dysfunction in this country hoping for rational conversations, but everything is instantly dragged into partisan warfare. Every discussion becomes pro or anti someone. Never about the issues. Why is a conversation about dysfunction automatically converted into a political argument in a country with no real political ideology? In a country where Tinubu could wake up tomorrow and join PDP or ADC without violating any coherent belief system? As for me all this Nigerians are not angry enough na just okoto meow meow skrrrr

@lumide0b Ah. How did you solve this?

The system has been active for years, complete with repeated WhatsApp broadcast messages on cameras, surprised people are not aware In 2021 My insurance company got me booked for expired papers because they didn't upload my renewed car insurance for months 🤬😡

Make we start dey call okada men , Mobility engineer 🤣🤣

I boarded a flight from Amsterdam to Lagos. When I got to my seat an elderly woman was sitting there. I told her politely that she was sitting on my seat. She didn't move and didn't say a word. I called on one of the crew to please ask her to move to her seat. The crew member asked for her ticket. She said she couldn't speak English but Yoruba. Some other passengers then told her in Yoruba to bring out her boarding pass. She did and it showed it wasn't her seat. It was mine. The woman still refused to leave saying that her allocated seat was between two men and she doesn't want to be between two men. I told the crew member that I paid for the seat for my comfort and I need to have the seat. He pleaded with me to take the seat beside her and during the flight he will look for another seat for me. For the sake of peace and given the age of the woman, I agreed. When the flight took off, the woman was now talking to me in Yoruba, saying "shebi Omo Yoruba ni e"....suggesting that I shouldn't have insisted on claiming the seat I paid for because we share same ethnicity. I told her in Yoruba, that the only reason I did so was because of her age not ethnicity. As luck will have it, I hit it off with the white guy sitting beside me. He was travelling to Lagos to get married to his Nigerian Fiancée. So we talked, culture shock, business and entertainment. The woman kept looking at us and at one point interjected in perfect ENGLISH something along the lines of "So, you can be this friendly and you were stressing me to leave my seat". Imagine my shock. Not only me, the women in the adjourning seats who had joined to plead with me to let it go. I asked her now very loudly "SO YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH....AND YOU WERE PRETENDING THAT YOU CAN ONLY SPEAK YORUBA?" I told her in Yoruba "Mummy oni oruko till Yoruba ma'npe ewa beyen...sugbon nitoripe mo je omooluwabi, I will restrain from saying it". Throughout the flight, she kept trying to make conversations with me, asking me where I am from, telling me what she went to do abroad. I wasn't interested. The dishonesty was too much for me to overlook. There is something about us that permits bad behaviour. It is regardless of age or ethnicity, status of even religion. We are simply accepting of bad behaviour and willing to rationalize it for the most silly reasons.

Every Nigerian has to watch this video clip To see how we are getting it wrong and how we can do better 🤙

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
