What are you Thankful for today?

@Uno_009 @seunonigbinde The response time tells you everything about the priority list. Hours to respond to a critic. Weeks to respond to kidnapped teachers and children. Same government. Same officials. Same working hours. The speed difference is not capacity — it’s choice.

A government that reacts faster to criticism than to the killing of its citizens has lost its purpose.

@OOlusore Whether this is political orchestration or pure criminal opportunism , the response required from government is identical. Rescue. Accountability. Prevention. The victims don’t need us to solve the conspiracy. They need to come home. Focus there first.

There was Peace in Oyo State before Seyi Makinde declared his Presidential Ambition. We can now connect the dots and freely assume this sudden rise in Insecurity within Oyo State is orchestrated by APC. Whether you like it or not, Nigeria will not be a One Party State.

@SwitOpe Tribalism is inherited the same way language is , absorbed before you’re old enough to question it. The tragedy isn’t that people were taught it. It’s that education, exposure and travel gave them every tool to unlearn it and they chose comfort over growth instead.

One of the greatest tragedies of this generation is that tribalism did not end with our parents, it was passed down to us. And what is even more disgraceful is seeing educated, exposed and even well-traveled people indulge in it. People you think should know better 🤦🤦

@Starcobaba God answers prayers. But He also gave you a PVC and a polling unit. Use both.

Things we pray to God for in Nigeria are things the government we elected should do. But you will leave your elected officials and be disturbing God and your neighbours all night with prayer. Go Get your PVC abeg

@hy_wemmy And the worst part? You solve one problem and two more appear. The calculation never ends. That’s not a financial problem — that’s what living in a country that has outsourced its basic responsibilities to its citizens actually feels like from the inside.

Life is now so serious. Money hits your account and instead of celebrating, you’re calculating which problem to tackle first.

@BNXN “Till the family in another state is safe, we all will never be safe.” This is the sentence Nigeria needs to tattoo on its political consciousness. Not my state vs your state. Not my tribe vs yours. One country. One vulnerability. One urgent task.

Every year we try to outwork the ever failing system of leadership in Nigeria and It’s the most painful and exhausting thing ever. Injustice against one is injustice against ALL. Till the family in another state is safe , we all will never be safe. 🇳🇬

@Thepentane_ A two-year-old doesn’t understand why they’re in a forest. Doesn’t understand why they can’t go home. Doesn’t understand why nobody has come. They just know they’re scared. That image is unbearable. Bring them home.

Omo! I can’t stop thinking about that innocent two-year-old child. It has already been 18 days, nearly three full weeks. For almost three weeks now, these children have gone without a proper bath or basic hygiene. How sure can we really be that they haven’t already contracted infections from this lack of hygiene? Young children have fragile immune systems, even a short period of poor hygiene can quickly lead to serious health issues. Are they even being fed properly? Or they are just surviving on whatever scraps food is available deep inside the forest? And When they finally come from this captive, will they ever feel mentally balanced and secure again? The trauma of being held captive in the forest for nearly three weeks at such a tender age may leave deep, lasting psychological scars on them. Nightmares, anxiety, trust issues, and developmental setbacks could haunt them for years, if not a lifetime. These are vulnerable little humans who deserve safety, protection, and care. Yet it feels like our government is using their lives as pawns in a political game. 💔🤧

@MarinatedTurks Why? Because removing subsidies was the right economic call made the wrong human way. No safety nets. No transition plan. No accountability for where the savings went. The policy wasn’t the problem. The absence of empathy in its execution was.

APC is making life difficult for us. Extremely difficult. Removed subsidies on almost everything and instead of economic positive performance what we are seeing is an extreme decline in the quality of living. Everything is expensive! Insecurity ia at all time high! Why??

@dammiedammie35 With respect Minister — “rising to the occasion” is what teachers do every day in underfunded classrooms with no security. They already rose. The question is when the government will rise to the occasion and Protect the citizens.

This government will do everything possible to ensure the safe return of the kidn@pp£d v!ctims. Teachers were kidn@pp£d in Abuja before, and nobody went on strike. So when it gets to our own people, people should also rise to the same occasion” - Nyesom Wike,

@___andrella__ The most dangerous word in this tweet is “normal.” Because that’s exactly what’s happened , abnormal things have been repeated so many times they stopped shocking us. Reclaiming the sense that this is NOT normal is the first act of resistance. Say it louder.

It’s not normal to walk on dirt filled roads, to drive on death traps/potholes and call it roads, to go a day without electricity, to hear news of kidnappings at every corner, to even have the kidnapped stay in captivity for weeks, to crowdfund for ransom. It’s not normal!!!

@blaccmajek When those victims eventually come home, Nigeria has no mental health infrastructure to receive them. No trauma counselling at scale. No PTSD support systems. No rehabilitation programs. We celebrate the rescue and forget the recovery. That’s another failure waiting to happen.

After being robbed at gunpoint in my own home, I struggled for a while. I was paranoid, scared, and i started seeing almost everyone as a potential thief. Now imagine being taken forcefully from your home, taken into the bush, watching others beaten and killed in your presence.

@SlimmytiNY The most dangerous thing about Nigerian resilience is that it makes the unbearable bearable for everyone including the people causing it.

I was discussing the insecurity in the country with a friend last night and what he said got to me. “Maybe this insecurity is what we need for a revolution to happen, Nigerians are known to always adapt to any situation, that’s cuz they have a hope of living, take that away and you see them out on the street” Bruh.

@Feyisparkles The most effective response to “the country is not in trouble” isn’t anger , it’s facts. Kidnapped principal. Dead teacher. Weeks in captivity. No rescue timeline. Let the facts do the arguing.

APC twitter are currently running a campaign that this country is not in trouble and people should not be scared. These are despicable people!! You should be scared!!! MRS ALAMU CAN BE ANYONEEEE

@Ol0ye No child should have their education interrupted by terror. No parent should have to choose between poverty and ransom. These are not high standards , they are the minimum a government owes its people. Nigeria keeps failing the minimum.

No Nigerian child should have to go through the ordeal that many children are going through in the hands of kidnappers because the president is too scared to step on toes. We need a leadership that places a premium on Nigerian lives not a discount. #BringBackOurChildren

@karoblaqx You could add a fifth — desperation. When people are poor enough, illiterate enough and divided enough, they become desperate enough to accept anything. That’s when the ₦5k vote-buying works. These four create the conditions for everything else.

poverty. illiteracy. religion. tribe. our biggest problems in this country man. we can’t win as long these things have 80% of the people in chokehold.

@Emerytarah000 Faith without works is dead , that’s not a political statement, it’s scripture. The same principle applies to governance. A country cannot pray its way to functioning hospitals, safe schools and rescued citizens. At some point, humans have to do the human work.

No one is saying prayer doesn't work. But in Nigeria, what we need goes beyond prayers. Our forefathers prayed, our parents prayed, and we are still praying. At some point, good governance, accountability, responsible leadership, and active citizenship must accompany those prayers. A nation cannot be built on prayers alone.

@theboyisgreat Rice and money while people are still in captivity. That’s not a rescue operation ,that’s crisis management by optics. It tells you exactly how this government calculates its responses. Not “how do we get them home” but “how do we look like we care without doing the hard thing.”

They went to Oyo state with rice and money. What a demonic government..

@oku_yungx Three weeks. Teachers and children still in captivity. The “Giant of Africa” with a defence budget of over ₦3 trillion. These two facts sitting side by side should be the only campaign poster needed for 2027.

If you had no intention of carrying out the oversight responsibilities of being President, why did you even seek that office? How is it acceptable that some citizens in Oyo are still stranded and suffering in the bush up till now, yet the so-called Giant of Africa cannot organize a proper rescue? What kind of country is this? Why do our leaders seem so uninterested in making life better for the people, yet remain fully committed to serving their own selfish interests? What crime did we commit to be blessed with so many natural resources, yet still live like paupers? And to those defending this government at all costs are you truly human or have you migrated into being a very useless animal?

@AnewNaija Section 14(2)(b) of the Nigerian Constitution states that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. Not prayer. Not hope. Security. A Minister of Defence who responds to kidnappings with prayer calls has failed his constitutional mandate.

I’m sorry to say this; as good as prayer is, no amount of it absolves government of its responsibility to secure lives and properties. When a Minister of Defense tells citizens to pray, it is nothing but a confession of failure. This is the man with the guns telling us to use our knees , for crying out loud. We are cooked!

Lecturer Tunde Perry is lecturing Nigerians about the 3 things that’s kp@!ng Nigerians, he also explained in details about how b@nd!ts operates and how it ties to Nigerian politics…… this one go far o 👀✍️
