Dear @channelstv @ARISEtv @tvcnewsng @NTANewsNow, please when next you go for a media briefing with FCT Minister @GovWike, kindly ask him about the following: 1. Cows taking over roads, now including highways, in Abuja 2. Waste collection and mountains of refuse in various parts of town 3. Swarms of young children, who should be in school, begging at traffic lights and junctions under the supervision of adults sitting under nearby trees. 4. The pandemic of driving “one-way” against traffic. 5. Aggressive street traders, especially the ones selling windscreen wiper blades, who insist on putting their hands on your windscreen. 6. All commercial vehicles, including Keke, that believe that traffic lights don’t apply to them. Others may have other things to add but it would be good to get answers to these first. Thank you.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

Sympathy: Tulumbu hears that Christians have been slaughtered once again so he tells them sorry from his London residence. (words of affirmation) Empathy: Tulumbu hears that convicted Herdsmen are repentant so he travels down from London to show them mercy, tells them he understands what it feels like to be an ex convict, then pledges to sponsor their wedding. (extra effort) Apathy: Tulumbu’s wife hears that food is expensive and she says it’s because we are lazy and have refused to farm to feed our husbands. (I don’t care attitude).
DEDE!@minutesimal_

Please teach me like I’m 5 What’s the difference between sympathy, empathy and apathy?

To the big churches in the southwest of Nigeria: We just want to let you know that you people have failed the Christians in the North sha. They are dying daily. Nothing public is being done. CAN is partnering with the gov't to build a 25bn church. Remi Tinubu is the name of its Lagos secretariat. You people are not pumping money in international media to pressure the government. You people, are not building massive media infrastructures to mobilize advocacy. There's nothing effective you people are doing. Apostle Michael Olowookere is shouting alone. Dachomo Ezekiel is almost shouting alone. Nothing is even moving you all. Nothing. Why exactly are you physically distancing from them? Ah omo. God will judge sha.

There is a Christian genocide going on in Nigeria. The media denies this, but stats don’t lie. Good Muslims in the northern part of Nigeria are attacking Christians daily.

Brackets are important, but shared values and vision are the real glue. Two people in the same financial bracket can still fail if one is building an empire and the other is building comfort. Reciprocity is gold, but it must be rooted in character, not just early-week excitement. The healthiest relationships in this our "woke" clime that I’ve observed aren’t built on fear of cheating or rigid calculations. They’re built by people who are first whole individually, then choose someone operating at a similar elevation. Fear-based choices create fragile unions. Value-based choices create resilient ones. Paying attn to SM opinions will only turn you into a paranoid statistician. Build yourself first, understanding deeply, who you really are (80% of humans never get to realise this in their lifetime). Then, choose from strength, not fear.

I have one piece to share. I hope all these TL conversations do not poison your heart. I hope you're not training your mindspace to start choosing partners from a place of fear, or lowered likelihood to cheat. Ask Israel Juju. These are faulty compasses. Churchgoers cheat. Atheists cheat. Hijab wielders cheat. Virgins cheat. Adelebos cheat. 20s cheat. 30s cheat. 40s cheat. I hope the factors that calibrate your values, are not from Twitter thinkpieces but are strengthened offline. Else, you will end up as a box of ruin. My safest predicators for relationships are: - brackets, - reciprocity. If you're doing well financially, box within potentials like you doing well financially. Don't be a 7fig earning techie & you'll be hunting smallies struggling with 200L carryover in Laspotech. Mental brackets. Intellectual brackets. Financial brackets. Exposure brackets. One of my theories as to why, people (read men) scale way below these brackets is because they're scripting scenarios for control. They're hunting "bendable" women. Chief, she won't be naive forever - but I'll expand on this, some other time. Be big on reciprocity. As you're doing for your partner in the early weeks, if they like you they would be doing as much. Using the filters of brackets and reciprocity, are safer predicators than fear and paranoia.

This here sums it all. He speaks a lot of grammar which will fly over the head of many of you, so let me make it simple to understand even if you are a dummy. 1. Find a woman in your bracket (exposure, finances, intellect etc) 2. Make sure she is investing in you as much as you are investing in her (after church, I will share what I learnt from an old lady). Follow these two rules and eventually, you should be okay.

I asked her what the two things were. She didn’t even hesitate. “First,” she said, “a woman must know that other women could have had you… but you chose her.” I frowned slightly. She continued: “Men usually do this well during dating. Then they get married and become lazy.” “You don’t have to flirt with other women,” she said. “But your wife should never feel like she married a man nobody else values.” That was the first thing. Then she gave the second. And honestly, it was even more interesting. She said: “Never be the only one sacrificing in a relationship.” I asked her what she meant. She said: “Men feel pain when they spend money, build a life with a woman, and she leaves.” “But women,” she said, “feel pain when they give years of their youth, their body, their loyalty, their emotions… and still get discarded.” Then she said something I haven’t forgotten since: “A relationship becomes dangerous when only one person feels they have something to lose." "Your generation have mastered the art of making all the sacrifices without allowing your women have some investments in the marriage." That stayed with me. A few minutes later her boarding call came. She finished her tea, picked up her bag and smiled. “Men fell off.” she said. “Then they act surprised when the woman emotionally leaves long before she physically does.” And strangely enough, I sat there thinking about that conversation for the rest of the day.

I travel a lot and whenever I’m at the airport lounge, I usually look for an older person sitting alone to talk to. Preferably an older woman. Older people carry a kind of perspective you can’t Google. One day, I walked into the lounge and saw an elderly woman sitting by herself, drinking tea and scrolling through her phone. I walked up to her and asked if I could sit with her. She looked genuinely surprised. Like she couldn’t understand why a younger man would willingly choose her table. After a brief hesitation, she smiled and said yes. We started talking. She was flying back to Abuja after visiting her grandchildren. Her husband had died five years earlier. She told me she had been a stay-at-home mother for almost 30 years and now had more free time than she knew what to do with. At some point, she asked if I was married. I told her yes. Over a decade. She paused for a moment, then said something that caught me completely off guard: “Your generation doesn’t keep marriages anymore.” I laughed. She didn’t. Then she added: “Most people today are lucky to make it to five years. And it will get worse with the next generation.” So I asked her why she thought marriages were failing more today. She took a sip of tea and said: “Because they don’t make men the way they used to.” That immediately caught my attention. I asked, “You think it’s mostly the men?” She nodded calmly. “I know people will say I’m blaming men, but most failed marriages happen because men fail to do the needful.” “The needful?” I asked. She leaned back slightly and said: “There are two things men used to understand that modern men no longer do.” Then she looked me dead in the eye and said: “And when men stop doing these two things, women eventually leave.”

Five minutes of rain in Abuja and everywhere begins to look like a disaster zone. This is not normal. This is not just “heavy rain.” This is what happens when a capital city is managed with poor planning, weak enforcement, blocked drainages, abused waterways, and reckless urban development. Asokoro should not be flooding like an abandoned settlement. Abuja is supposed to be Nigeria’s capital city, a planned city, the face of the nation, the place that hosts government institutions, diplomats, investors, residents and visitors. If ordinary rainfall can expose the city this badly, then something is deeply wrong with FCT administration. The allegation that drainages and waterways are being converted or compromised for estates must be taken seriously. A city cannot survive when natural water channels are blocked, drainage corridors are built over, and enforcement only becomes loud when poor people are being demolished. Governance is not only about press conferences, political fights, land allocations, demolition drama and tough talk. Governance is also about ensuring water flows where it should flow. It is about protecting waterways. It is about maintaining drainages. It is about preventing developers from turning public safety into private profit. Wike cannot claim to be fixing Abuja while the city drowns after a short rain. Streetlights are failing. Flooding is spreading. Basic city management is looking weak. Residents are paying the price for a capital that is losing its planning discipline. Abuja does not need more political noise. Abuja needs competent urban governance. Because when five minutes of rain can flood Asokoro, the problem is not the rain. The problem is leadership.
