“They tried to make me scared for owning a car at 18” —Moment an 18-year-old Nigerian lady recounted her encounter with police officers during a stop-and-search operation on the highway, alleging that they tried to intimidate her after discovering she owned a car at such a young age.😳
So today I hired someone to butcher one of my goats. I specifically told him to roast the goat before skinning it. This man instead went to call a vulcanizer to pump the deæd goat. He then proceeded to using soapy water on my goat before skinning it. I was so furious and asked him why he didn't do as I instructed him. He told me that in his place in Yoruba land, they pump their ram and goats and then use soapy water to skin them. Oga, do I look Yoruba to you? I told you to roast it before skinning. We Igbo people roast ours before skinning it. It gives the meat that goat scent when cooking it. I won't pay him his complete money.
Isn’t it funny that, as you claim, I was in Primary 2 when Peter Obi was governor? That means there was a time in Nigeria when young people were entrusted with positions of authority and responsibility. In the case of Peter Obi, he governed effectively, leaving behind measurable results and testimonials. From the Melinda Gates Foundation on the achievement of SDGs, to the Inspector General of Police on security, WAEC on education, and even in the area of prudent financial management, etc. Unfortunately, that is not the reality many young Nigerians live today. Many young Nigerians are struggling to access positions of leadership, and even some who have been fortunate enough to get there have misused the opportunity. Too many people in their 30s and 40s have become comfortable being media aides for smear campaigns, propaganda tools, and agents of ethnic division, with little interest in building a legacy of service or leadership. Their level of ambition pales in comparison to their counterparts in more functional societies. What makes this even more interesting is that the same “Primary 2 girl” is today the photographer of the same governor , who happens to be the leading presidential candidate of the most populous country in Africa. Not because I knew someone or lobbied for it. Simply because I was given an opportunity. That, for me, is one of the things Peter Obi’s candidacy represents. A Nigeria where ordinary people can find their place based on competence, hard work, and belief. The “Primary 2 girl” is grateful. And I remain grateful that, despite everything thrown at him, he has stayed true to who he is. #NigeriaWillBeOk
When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own. Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved. 1/
Peter Obi makes a post, 8/10 times, you'd see the post getting millions of views. President would make a post, it would struggle to get up to 200k views for hrs. A president of over 200m Nigerians. 7m Nigerians are on X. Peter Obi has over 5m. President has 3m. End.
EXPOSED: OYO SCHOOL KIDNAP. Gov. Seyi Makinde was given a clear security tip 4 years ago about the attack on Yawota village in Orrire LGA, Oyo state. Seyi Makinde needs to bring back those kids and teachers to their families and account for the N16bn Oriire LGA allocation.
Governors can collect security votes monthly 4rm d Federal Government but security of their states aren't their primary responsibilities? How does this even sound well to you? Have you checked Section 14(2)(b) of our constitution? Just listen to this guy wey no even go school
