We're all different demographically, politically and ethnically, but whoever we support, I trust I can assume that we all just want a better Nigeria. Whatever happens from here on, this is the time to bury the hate, insults and bitterness. Tomorrow we vote. Please, shun violence.
Go out and exercise your franchise understanding that not everyone agrees with you and there are a million and one reasons why your favourite candidate may or may not win. Commit to supporting the winner knowing that be you as smart as Solomon, the majority is wiser still.
Everyone just wants a government and country that works for them. Our choices are different, but our desire is singular. You cannot hate your government and claim to love your country, neither can your candidate be the ONLY good one. May God bless you and may He bless Nigeria.

ā#EspionageAct [doesnāt] mention classification at all. It talks about a specific type of information: national defenseā¦ The real question is, why would Trump WANT to declassify secrets that could harm the U.S.?ā

š„š„Reading Luttig's statement & I'm so grateful he doesn't tiptoe around the crisis. The conservative judge says #Jan6 was a battle in Trump & GOP's ongoing war on democracy & America. He uses "war" 21x on just p1 ! He says they lied knowingly, to cling to power. #Jan6thHearings
Luttig: A stake was driven through the heart of American democracy on January 6, 2021, & our democracy today is on a knifeās edge.
America was at war on that fateful day, but not against a foreign power. She was at war against herself. We Americans were at war with each otherā¦

Luttig: "January 6 wasā¦a war for Americaās democracy, a war irresponsibly instigated and prosecuted by the former president, his political party allies, and his supportersā¦
only the party that instigated this war over our democracy can bring an end to that war."

Thank you everyone for a great night at #FBCG22! Here's the speech I gave: I think many of you were surprised to see that I was not on the Secretary of Stateās unofficial list of candidates who filed for Governor. š§µ #idpol #idaho #Democrats
I can assure you that you are not as surprised as I am! Although Iāve served as a non-partisan Mayor for two terms, let me be clear, I am a Democrat. We are taking all necessary steps to ensure Iām on the ballot. And I am confident we will be successful.
Now let me tell you why Iām running for Governor. It seems that everywhere we look in the world we see a battle going on. A battle between freedom and totalitarianism. A clash between the rule of law and corrupt power. A struggle between democracy and dictatorship.
Putinās actions in Ukraine need to be looked at in terms of historical context. This is not the first time that Putin has invaded other nations. (Thread)
Chechnya (1999): In whatās known as the second Chechen War, Putin invaded Chechnya using missiles & cluster-bombs against citizens & villages. Hundreds of civilians & POWās were executed. Chechnya is now part of the Russian Federation
Georgia (2008): Russian forces invaded Georgia & together with separatists committed war crimes & ethnic cleaning. Russia still maintains control of about 20% of Georgiaās internationally recognized territory
Some of us on here don't realize that the world is already at war - itās an information war- and Russia has been attacking for 10+ years.
We canāt be āright fightersā, we have to fight back against disinformation- that means sharing war content that makes us all uncomfortable.

It is not āexploitiveā to share content of what is happening in Ukraine and the very real human toll it is taking on their men, women, and children- they are victims who will not have a voice if their stories arenāt shared.
We have to amplify Putinās atrocities in real-time.

Putin wants to destabilize NATO and the west- so why send out messages saying āNATO hung Ukraine out to dryā?
Do we understand that World War 3 starts if the United States or our allies go in- against a mentally deranged tyrant with nukes?
Everyone hates this. Everyone.
