The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H. Under 3days. 46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks. If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.

saw this on substack & whew!

The Alans, a nomadic Iranian tribe, settled in parts of France, Spain and Portugal. There was even an Alan kingdom spanning both Iberian countries. This is why Jose Mourinho resembles an IRGC Brigadier.

The only reason you people are romanticising the idea of another global pandemic is because you don’t think the people that are going to die will be you and yours. Foolish, short-sighted idiots.

The average Nigerian life exists in a state of decline, not bloom. The Alhaji, whom I once bought vintage glasses from at Lagos Island, went from selling in a library of glasses to trading a small stock in a portable show-glass and later, an old briefcase. He couldn't afford the shop. He couldn't afford the merchandise. After a while, he left the spot entirely. Some of those Ebonyi boys in Lagos have gone crazy with hustle. They go from selling phone accessories to socks and handkerchiefs to getting bread from supermarkets like Shoprite and Bokku and selling them on the street. Nigerians get permanent deformities from small accidents because of a lifestyle, circumstance, and a system that prioritize staying alive over living. They survived—it's all that matters. When I was in the bank, I discussed Hugh Mcculloch's ‘Advice for Bankers’ with one of the senior employees. Mr. Hugh Mcculloch was the Comptroller Of Currency, U.S Treasury, in 1863, when he laid out an Advice for Bankers, which would later become a set of principles for Modern Banking. I told them that by those principles, a banker must be paid well and not get into petty loans—constantly. To prevent the likelihood of financial irresponsibility. They mocked me lightly and said I should focus on meeting my weekly targets rather than talking like a professor. "All your generation talk about is money." "Hardwork and experience, first. The money will come." Yet, a senior staff projected that at least 60 per cent of Junior staff in the same Bank were debtors or microfinance banks and loan sharks. (He'd done an audit of such nature not long before I got employed.) He wasn't wrong. There were stories of people, including my own friends, who got robbed of their laptops, tablets, and phones when they were either coming to work or going back home. The Company wouldn't compensate them. When they did, it was not sufficient. Yet, they came to work as early as 6am and sometimes left very late at night. Some still came to the office during the weekend. One lady was in the middle of a professional exam, which she could barely afford when she was robbed. I remember she had once protested to her bosses for how inconsistent they were at providing hotel accommodation for their late night work. After she got robbed, some people blamed her for not being alert and careful. She was depressed but showed up as if all was well, so she wouldn't be the centre of attention. Another one got into an accident but still came to work even as she had a bleeding scalp. She had a lot of hair, yet the bleeding was obvious. I asked why she didn't go straight to the hospital. She said “If I don't come to the office, they'll say I'm lying, and I can't risk it because of staff appraisal.” When you ask these people to “Dare to dream," what are your expectations? Are they practical? Beyond the occasional moments of hope inspired by the worship songs they sing religiously, they have almost nothing. They just try to look presentable enough to show up daily—sleep deprived and desperate. Their wages are divided between Loan App repayments, savings—which would later be consumed by bills—and expenses exhausted by social expectations that matter to them, such as outward adornment and career development. Life is terribly harsh and uncertain. We must understand that people just want to work, pay their bills, and have enough time and vitality to tend to other things outside work. It's this simple. Can't regular people live a healthy life?

He said Nigerian leadership was filled with people who only seek personal gain. Said we were “a different people playing to a different set of rules.” Said our tribal loyalty was greater than our national loyalty, and we’re a society without meritocracy This was 1966, by the way. You could still say the same thing in 2026.

I once went down into a rabbit hole of how Singapore turned their economy around to becoming one of the world superpower, and I came across how Nigeria was instrumental to that development. How you may ask? When Lee Kuan Yew visited Nigeria and saw how we were criminally..

If your partner is popular, you'll be known as the partner to the popular person. Those who know you personally, will address you by your name. E.g, Omotola's husband, Kunle Remi's wife. While they have personal identities, it is irrelevant to the public who only experience them through their partner. If you find it derogatory being addressed with the married title to your partner, you shouldn't have married them in the first place. You should feel proud being addressed as your partner's partner. If your partner was not famous, you wouldn't even be consequential in the discourse. Even your friend's partner that you are not close with, you refer to them in 3rd person as your friend's wife/husband. Miss us with this performative crap of wanting everybody to address you by your name and professional title. Who are you? That is a lot of personal insecurity. Success is not desperate to be announced. Everyone experiences you differently and will address you as same. Those who know you personally or professionally, will address you by name or professional title. Those who know you through your partner will address you through your relationship with your partner. As a matter of fact, when introducing yourself to people, first name is enough. It is not the world's business that you're a lawyer or doctor. No be only you go school. If the conversation goes deeper where you're asked what you do, you can state it. You have 4 Masters, and so what? You people should go and sit down.

A country so religious, yet so immoral, greedy and wicked.

EXCLUSIVE: Desperate African men tell CNN they were lured by Russia into the war in Ukraine using promises of well-paying civilian jobs. But they were forced into the frontlines with little/no training, facing drones & racism. "You escape or you die." ⚠️Story is hard to watch

This PayPal matter further highlights the typical Nigerian. Stands for nothing, zero solidarity, self-centered, exploitative, low integrity, anywhere belle face, unprincipled, gullible, myopic, intemperate, impulsive, servile. Shame, your life didn’t stop since they left.

Nigerians are such an ideological weak link on this continent, no thinking, just money money money.

Nigerians don’t understand how other African countries have left us behind by a large margin. I’m seeing people asking questions like “so Benin is more developed than Nigeria?” YESSS. Yes they are more developed than Nigeria by far. This African giant delusion needs to stop.
