Wallahi duk duniya ba abunda ke daga mun hankali kamar kwanciyar kabari. Allah yasa mu cika da imani.

None of these armchair bloggers ever visit communities affected by terrorism. Do you even understand how vulnerable civilians in those areas are? They’re trapped in the middle of a brutal conflict between terrorists and security forces. No one truly listens to their voices.

Transparent presidents are unarguably the best for citizens of Nigeria. Unfortunately, Tinubu is not a transparent president and he needs to gooooo.

From Pharisee to Tax Collector: Rethinking Tinubu’s Kenyan Comparison In a recent remark in Yenagoa, Bola Ahmed Tinubu suggested that Nigerians should find solace in being “better off than Kenya and other African countries.” While this may have been intended to soften the impact of economic hardship and rising fuel prices, the comment risks downplaying the severity of the current crisis. It echoes the biblical parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in the Gospel of Luke (18:9–14). A similar warning is found in the Qur’an (53:32), which cautions against self-righteousness. Like the Pharisee who boasted of his superiority over others to mask his own spiritual void, such downward comparisons serve more as a refuge than a remedy. This validated an earlier dismissive remark by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu during electioneering: “Na statistics we go shop?” Yet statistics remain indispensable - they are the language through which nations understand their condition and chart progress. No country can develop in isolation from measurable realities or without comparing itself with peers. Comparisons, when properly grounded, are not instruments of escapism but tools of accountability. What is objectionable is not comparison itself, but comparison stripped of credible, verifiable data—mere tax collector comparisons that soothe rather than solve. On key development indicators such as security, the Human Development Index, life expectancy, GDP per capita, literacy levels, and electricity access, Kenya consistently outperforms Nigeria. Nigeria is the fourth most terrorised nation in the world, while Kenya is not among the ten worst. Kenya’s HDI ranking is 143 out of 180 countries, with a coefficient of about 0.630, compared to Nigeria’s ranking of 164 out of 180, with a coefficient of about 0.530. Its GDP per capita is roughly $2,200–$2,300, compared to Nigeria’s $807–$835. Kenya’s poverty rate is about 43% of the population (approximately 23 million people), while Nigeria’s is about 63% (around 150 million people), over six times that of Kenya. Kenya’s life expectancy is about 67 years, while Nigeria’s is about 54 years. The literacy rate in Kenya is approximately 81–85%, compared to Nigeria’s 62–65%. Kenya’s electricity access is higher, while Nigeria has one of the lowest levels of electricity access in the world. Kenya has about 3.5 million out-of-school children, while Nigeria has about 20 million. Kenya’s inflation rate has been about 4.5% or lower over the past three years, while Nigeria’s has remained above 15% within the same period. Kenya’s exchange rate has been around USD 1 to KES 130 over the past three years, whereas Nigeria’s exchange rate rose from below ₦500/$1 to above ₦1,250/$1 within the same period. Even with developments in the Middle East and rising oil prices, Kenyans have not experienced the sharp increases in petroleum product prices seen in Nigeria. Across other key indicators, Kenya also performs better. In the end, these indices clearly show that Kenya ranks higher than Nigeria on several development metrics. The standard of living of Kenyans is better than that of Nigerians. If the President considers Kenyans to be suffering despite these stronger figures, then Nigerians are in a far more difficult situation. He should therefore refrain from self-consolation and, in honest reflection, take responsibility for the situation and make a determined effort to drive improvement. This requires a posture of humility, accountability, and commitment to addressing the factors that have slowed Nigeria’s development. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Hold African politicians accountable

Tinubu Please I’m tired No renew my hope again E don do

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

Nigerians are the most I-Don’t-Care people you’d ever meet. Here, a Senator of the federal republic is publicly announcing that the government deliberately refused to implement budgetary allocations from 2023,2024 and 2025, all in an effort to secure money to buy people (and election) in 2027, yet, we would only hear and not act. In fact, we wouldn’t even bat an eyelid, because we are so desensitised to issues of mis-governance and therefore uninterested in how the politicians run the country, and by extension, our lives.

@6_anfield @Kiram_sani Lagos kake ji 💀

@Kiram_sani Mugunta ce no much people on weekends

How is bus fare 700 on week days and only 400 on weekends

Seeing the children of these elites and politicians partying,weddings every weekend,they have zero concerns. Our soldiers,security personnels deaths are just in vain. No national mourns,condolences or outcries.

A young man hustling day and night to build his business. Went from millionaire to billionaire in his twenties. Never involved in any of you people’s societal drama. Just focused on his business. Your concern is not to learn his business model so that you can improve your life. It’s not to learn the secret behind his success. Your only concern about him is how he dressed on his wedding. Sometimes it’s not hard to figure out why people remain where they are.

Nigeria is now a country with an “Airspace of Particular Concern”.

Let’s set the record straight Saki is deeply rooted in Hausa culture. From the streets of Kano to the gatherings in Katsina and Sokoto, Saki has long been part of the Hausa man’s identity simple, clean, and effortlessly dignified.

🚨 BREAKING CEASEFIRE UPDATES 🚨 "We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi

For every ₦12,000 bag of cement you buy, ₦6,240 goes straight to the Federal government through taxes and levies.

BREAKING🚨 INTERPOL have arrested Yoel Alter, an 35 year old Israeli who is a member of Lev Tahor, the world’s largest child sex trafficking ring. Over 160 children have been rescued from this Jewish pedophile gang. You might want to ask yourself why the media, politicians and social influencers have buried this story

Note: The railway is for the Iranian people A govt that doesn't love their people won't fix such infrastructures so swiftly But a 🇳🇬Nigerian that's never seen Electricity for straight 5 days is echoing the "Iranians are suffering" gibberish!!
