I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

It’s interesting what you can find in the 1999 Nigerian constitution while bored: Section 18: (1) Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels. (2) Government shall promote science and technology (3) Government shall strive to eradicate illiteracy; and to this end Government shall as and when practicable provide (a) free, compulsory and universal primary education; (b) free secondary education; (c) free university education; and (d) free adult literacy programme. Are schools free in Nigeria? 22. The press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this Chapter and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the Government to the people.

I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all. The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all. At. All. The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you. So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable. Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen. That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing. If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7. Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist. Them no really send any part of your papa at all.

Dear @WorldBankGroup, For the second time, stop enabling our politicians to destroy our country. There is nothing beneficial to the citizens from the loan given to them. They only share it among themselves and use the rest to buy votes for re-election. Stop giving President Tinubu loans. We Nigerians are pleading!

Wishing a very happy birthday to Bridgerton Season 5 co-lead Hannah Dodd!!

My dream is simple.  I want an Africa where the young people stay not because they can't leave, but because what's at home is worth staying for.  We're not there yet. But that's what I'm building toward.

The sooner we stop seeing “APC” as a political party, and start seeing them as a criminal syndicate (which they are), the better for us.

This is genuinely what I aim to be

A few years back, in church, my pastors wife was always impressing total obedience on every teenager. It genuine felt weird to me because why are you telling teenagers that they can ask questions. I'm slightly older now and I realize, docility is the goal.

My advice to the younger generation. Question every system. Marriage, education, employment, contemporary businesses,tax ,politics , police, law and order , religion, social dynamics . Dnt follow and obey blindly it doesn't work.

Sometimes fighting for your rights includes fighting for the rights of people you hate. In fact, the greatest test of your principles is whether they shift based on your prejudices. That’s because principles don’t work in isolation; they work in systems. If you cannot see how it all trickles down to you and will lead to your own doom, I don’t even know what to say.

@Emmymouthpiece Get in jorr

Thank you 500 followers. Let's keep it going. I am very active to follow back.

To be very honest, You just need to read books Intellectual books or not, you improve as a person when you read

Human beings have always been obsessed with sex. The repression of a basic desire is the issue. We can only progress from obsession as a society when we destigmatize the act itself

@Emmymouthpiece There is also the need to address that development of a community should address the need of the community. Yes the community has no right to demand that of an individual. But if you want to help people, address a need they have

Development should be supported of course. I just feel the community didn't do well with the approach of imposing on the person,when there's a better way to go about it. Financial capacity of individuals is the key to the development of a community.

No cause now I'm mad. Why wasn't I informed

Just searched Tinubu in my tweets. True true DSS will carry me. That being said, Tinubu is a terrible president and has made life for Nigerians worse in every conceivable way and HE MUST NOT ENTER ASO ROCK AGAIN IN 2027.
