A few years ago, a friend, friendly entered my DM and advised me to tone down my vicious way of criticizing and calling out Nigeria Leaders, and I said thank you for the wrong advice but I won't. She left and never chatted with me till date. Thread.. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
You see, there are consequences for bad leadership and it affects everyone, including the hailers, wailers, sycophants, zombies, complainers, messiahs, aides, spokesmen, religious leaders, children, women, men, old, young, antagonists and protagonists. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
It is pure foolery to think that anyone is exempted, even if you're the councillor, chairman, the governor or the president, directly or indirectly, it affects you. Areas like Ikoyi are not meant for high rise buildings and skyscrapers from the beginning. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
But when avarice, corruption, the desperation to get rich quick, settle political loyalists, appoint incompetents in positions they shouldn't be comes in to play, what you get is disaster everywhere. Then there's the citizens lack of interest in governance #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
Let's face it and call it what it really is, in a functional society, the governor of @followlasg , @jidesanwoolu would've resigned, forced to resign or facing strong and exasperating catechization before the state assembly. But unfortunately... #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
The #IkoyiBuildingCollapse is enough reason for Jide Sanwoolu to lose the next election, for LASBCA boss to rot in jail for life if found complicit which I strongly believe he's complicitous in this particular case. The entire LASBCA hierarchy reeks of corruption,& that's a fact
Just like Synagogue building collapse where over 100 souls perished, #IkoyiBuildingCollapse will come and go, no one will be punished. And when you don't punish people, just expect another collapse in the nearest future, in fact, before the year runs out, we'll hear another one.
The truth is, you cannot wish, pray or cast and bind away these disasters, it is the law of nature, if you don't put in the work, only one result is possible and that's an absolute failure and disaster. It is not spiritual, it is physical, it is man made. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
I have said it so many times, you don't need to love your leader, it is not constitutional, it is not spiritual, neither is it biblical, the scriptures only say pray for them & that, for them to do the right thing so we all can live peaceably and quietly. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
Oh, how I love Buhari, oh how I love Jide, how I love Femi, oh, how I love Ikpeazụ, how I love Tinubu. That's not patriotism and definition of civic and civil responsibility, that's an undiluted, unrewarding and unprofitable, and blind loyalty. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
The perished souls under that rubble could be anyone, it could be the governor's aide, it could be Buhari or Tinubu alleluia man or woman, it could be someone in the opposition, it could be a neutral person and an active citizen, it could be you or me. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
As a citizen, and a patriot as many of us claim to be and others are not, when you see dilapidating building which pose a serious danger, a badly constructed building, what do you do, move on. Oh I don't want to be bad belle to another man's hustle, right? #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
Our people say, one person does not train a child, and that applies to properties which involves human lives, if you look away and play the e no concern me card, trust me, one day it will. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse has been in everyone's mouth for the past three days, you see?
One of the victims family members on one of the radio stations said her younger brother and nine others left Ibafo that same day, came to the site for the first time, and got stuck under that rubble, till today, no one knows whether they're still alive. #IkoyiBuildingCollapse
