THE TIME IS STUPID O' CLOCK
We wont know how foolish some of our debates are until we step aside, without being part of it. We are very smart, but have times when we prefer to be stupid. Many things we argue about arent up for discussions amongst people adjudged less intelligent.

After we exhausted the definition of revolution, the next thing is that Sowore wasn't serious about taking over govt. Please, apply this same energy when people openly threaten to kill you. Dont call police. They are joking. Its play, as long as we dont see them with a knife. 😀

Our Reps are asking CBN to suspend charges meant to enhance Cashless Policy; people who pay up to 10% GST in the US say 7.5% in Nigeria is too much. I heard thunder killed 36 cows in a town? Dont let me hear Fulani, the day the thunder will kill 36 people too in the same town. 🤣

Somebody said Nigerians don't pay tax because there are no infrastructure. I asked, "what is second Niger Bridge?" Infrasculptor? You can't see what govt does with tax, but you are paying N27,000 per semester at YABATECH, that cost govt over N50 Billion annually. We are clowns 🤣

FG raised N100 Billion Sukuk, which went into road. That's not infrastructure, right? NYSC mobilize about 350,000 'corpers' annually, who get paid a paltry N19,800 monthly. I heard it'll be increased to N30,000 minimum wage. Every year, over N120 Billion goes into these scheme.

That's how we've been spending oil money. Politicians steal theirs; civil servants waste some. The rest is spent providing roads for people who dont want toll gate or tax.
I'm not allowed to disclose many findings relating to Nigeria's petrol imports and recent border closure. 😓

Nigerians cant see the relationship between government financial losses and the food on the table. The poor are especially that dumb. If you say Nigeria lost N10,000 to smugglers, an average Nigerian don't see a problem, if he wasn't previously receiving N2,000 from that N10,000.

If not stupidity, what do we call it that legislators, who will spend from government coffers before you spend, are proposing that tax increase be suspended? The poor is usually the excuse of the rich at objecting to what will take from their riches, for the benefit of the poor.

Let me share a secret, so that you can pick the type of poverty you want to kill you. With all the oil in Nigeria added together, there's no day it'll provide sufficient fortune to turn the country around. It's like the case of a labourer, who eats bread - "Alaru toun je buredi."

When you get to Istanbul Airport, something inside you will die, if you remember you are a Nigerian. Istanbul's 1Km by 1Km Airport is fully air conditioned. The marble floor is breathtaking. This is a country that produces only 60,000 bpd, and imports 90% of its fuel need.

Turkey's export in 2018 is $168 Billion, and part of it went to Nigeria. Nigeria's export is $52 Billion, even with ~2million bpd oil production. By implication, Turkey's 83+ million population does more work than Nigeria's 200+ million population, with our oil sales added to it.

Turkish people are too busy to be discussing silly things. No awoof! The citizens are sweating under Erdogan, the President. A Nigerian will smuggle drugs into Indonesia, Nigerians will ask FG to send lawyers to go defend him, after abusing Abike Dabiri. Una go dey alright 😀

If Turkish people use 1 Exabyte for research, Nigerians will use it to tweet fakenews about removing Osinbajo.
There's a place of sufficiency that can make you sit back, cross your leg and watch Nigerians kill themselves on top very unproductive debates. God will take you there.
