I thought I had found the man I would marry. We were together for 2 years. He had a good job and always said he loved my intelligence and drive.
Last week, he finally agreed to visit my family in the village. My mum was so happy. She spent her last money to cook a special meal and even borrowed a better seat so he would be comfortable.
But when he arrived, his attitude changed. He barely spoke, barely ate, and just looked around.
Two days after he left, he sent me a message I’ll never forget. He said he’s “a man of class” and can’t marry into a family where he’ll become the only hope. He said my background would “pull him down.”
Before I could even respond, he blocked me everywhere.
He didn’t see the love in the food my mum cooked. He didn’t see the sacrifices she made to raise me. He only saw where we came from.
My heart is heavy. Is it now a crime to come from a humble home? Does my hard work mean nothing because of my background? 💔

The parable that say the Cain used to discipline the servant will also be use to discipline the king one day.
“As a soldier, my last salary was 109k. It was 51k before; they just increased it to 109k last February. Our uniform alone is 55k, boots are 60k, and we pay for them with our own money, same with helmet and bulletproof vest. I spent 4 years, 9 months in Maiduguri, Borno state"👀

When I got back to Abuja, a soldier stopped me and asked where I was going. I told him I was going into FCT. He politely asked if I could give his colleague a lift, and I agreed.
As we got close to Giri junction, I asked the soldier where he was going. He said Zuba, while I was going through Lugbe into town. I told him Zuba is not far and transport there is usually around ₦200–₦300.
I asked if he was stopping there or going further. That was when he told me something sad. He said he was going home to see his newborn twins for the first time after 10 months because he was not given leave. Sadly, his wife had called to say one of the babies had died, and she begged him to come quickly to see the other twin.
I asked why he didn’t travel earlier. He said he was waiting for his salary since it was already the 2nd, but it was not paid. When I asked how he wanted to finish the journey, he showed me all the money he had—₦4,500, which was not enough.
I felt bad and gave him ₦20,000. I also took his number and promised to call and check on the baby.
I want to ask a question, please..
Are these the soldiers we expect to lay down their lives in our protection? You’re owing soldiers, and you want them to be effective while fighting insecurity?
Honestly, this is very sad.

@instablog9ja My prayers is how wish we could have access to gun in Nigeria. In case we are protesting against bad government then the police will come out to throw Tear gas. Then it will be a civil war
Nigerians Expect Everything Free, Roads And Light, But Don’t Want To Pay Tax — Minister Wike
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has highlighted the ongoing challenges of tax collection, pointing out the disparity between citizens’ expectations and the reality of government revenue.
Speaking with TVC NEWS live, he stressed that while Nigerians expect quality infrastructure and services, there is widespread reluctance to contribute through taxes.
On the difficulty of generating revenue, Wike said: “To collect tax, you know it’s not an easy thing. I don’t know how many of you here like to pay tax. Nigerians want everything for free. They want road, they want light. It is not easy.”
He further stated; “When I came to Abuja we were about 8, 9 billion. The money we get from the federal government is 1% of the allocation of federal government. So if federal government gets 1 trillion for example, they’ll give us one percent which is ten billion naira and that cannot carry the society. Our salary in a month is not less than 12–13 billion, so we must augment. How do we augment?”
Addressing public criticism, he added: “There’s no ab¥se that any politician has received than me. I think after the president, I’m the highest ab¥sed. There’s nothing we do that we won’t get ab¥sed. Well, what is important to me is that I want to be concentrated to do the job.”
On oversight and accountability, Wike explained how closely he monitors the finances: “The money we have gotten from tax challenge me, minister FCT, what are you doing? I’ll show you as I sit here.”
