You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light

Whom shall I fear?

A short Thread.

I saw something this morning that reminded me to go read my pinned Tweet. /1

#EndSARS
By now, any honest Nigerian knows I am simply huge of Citizens Voice.

It was reason I propounded the concept of the #OfficeOfTheCitizen at a #GenVoices event in 2014.

It is why I never cease to push Citizens to never slack in demanding for Good Governance and Accountability.
When I saw the young citizens rise in unison to embark on #EndSARS protests across the country, it made me so very happy for them.

When the @PoliceNG responded with brutality, my heart raged and so I quickly wrote a letter and went to meet the IG of @PoliceNG on the 9th October. Image

@funmioyatogun My dear Funmi, your tweet wrenched my heart because I do follow your exceptional hardworking trail on this Street.
1. Would you like to learn more about a non-partisan initiative @fixpoliticsnig for structural change of our Political Culture and its perennial dismal outcomes?
@funmioyatogun @fixpoliticsnig A minimum threshold of effective Public Governance that enables Citizens and Business is central to all prosperous societies. Weโ€™ve lacked that. The root is โ€œa political culture that subordinates Collective Interest to Private Gainโ€. We must #FixPolitics for Good Governance.
@funmioyatogun @fixpoliticsnig The initiative @fixpoliticsnig came out of my research as a Richard von Weizacker Fellow @BoschAcademy .
Here are snippets of a conference held in Lagos on the interim findings.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts24v16

#WordOfLife
I have an amazing life.๐Ÿ˜

Two consecutive administrations and their numerous allies ever finding a common ground against one woman because she demands Public Accountability from those that govern.

Couldnโ€™t wish for a more Purposeful Life!

Will never stop praising God for this!
There shall come a time in this Land, when many more Citizens will rise up and stare down at those that poorly govern our country.

When that time comes, all we bear today would be so well-worth it, because no society can have Good Governance without โ€œpaying a price for Libertyโ€.

Oh Lord, my God, Jesus
I'll speak of Your Glory,
Iโ€™ll show forth Your beauty
If I dance it won't be enough,
And If I shout it won't be enough

If I dance it won't be enough,
And If I shout it won't be enough.

The fastest route to the destruction of the social fabric of Nigeria is the Culture of Impunity.

What is Impunity?
It is the โ€œexemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action.โ€

Imagine then how horrible it is for such thing to become a Culture.
Anything that attains the height of a Culture for any society of people never happens overnight. It takes a gradual condoning of a word, thought, mindset, behavior and such like, by first a few who with the leverage of influence pull in others to their side and Culture happens.
Name every crime or misdemeanor that has become the Norm and gained โ€œwide acceptanceโ€ in Nigeria and we can tell for a Fact that it did not just suddenly attain that status. It happened initially once, was ignored, a few others joined and did it, ignored and many others repeated.
