When these things were happening between 2015 and 2019, we were all here on Twitter. Certain people were justifying terrorism and saying that it was the dead people's fault for not accommodating Fulani cows.

They voted for more of this in 2019, and did so gleefully and knowingly
17 months to the purported handover in May 2023, these people have now discovered camera phones that they can record themselves crying into, and Internet connections they can use to upload the tears.

Did these terrorists only start raping and killing in 2021? Why the tears now?
You watched and cheered as terrorists raped, murdered and pillaged minority and Christian areas in the North and Middle Belt for years, and prayed for Allah to harden the earth to receive the bodies of unbelievers.

You called blatant terrorism "farmer-herders clashes"
Up till now, you are still openly expressing support for the political sponsors of the terrorists like @elrufai, who had journalists like @SKefason abducted and illegally detained for exposing the truth of terror attacks in Southern Kaduna
You knew EXACTLY what voting Buhari in 2015 and 2019 meant for the lives of ethnic minorities and Christians in the Middle Belt and North - and you were FINE with it.

You had NO problem with it then, and clearly you still don't now. You think their lives are less important.
So excuse me for calling bullshit on your latest series of publicity stunts. There's nothing that is happening to you today that is as horrific as Agatu alone - and that was 5 years ago!

Please cry your tears alone in peace. I have zero sympathy for you or interest in your pain.

This is an outdated view that even most journalists no longer subscribe to. Absolute objectivity does not exist and it is dishonest to pretend that it does.

Media platforms are also content curators, and they are expected to use that power to decide who or what gets airtime.
If not, you would have absolutely anything and everything being platformed on TV and radio.

How about flat earthers? KKK Grand Wizards? Conspiracy theorists who believe the earth is run by giant alien lizards? Human cannibals? Do these lot also deserve airtime?
When you have someone like Kemi Olunloyo who is clearly suffering from a mental illness dubbing herself an "investigative journalist" and just pulling stuff entirely out of her ass consistently, why should such a person be put on TV?

Is it news or entertainment?

This is Keren-Happuch Aondodoo Akpagher, a 14 year-old student of Premiere Academy, Lugbe, Abuja who died of sepsis earlier this year.

A used condom was found inside her. The school has successfully stonewalled and prevented all information from emerging. I know because I tried.
Her mom is on my WhatsApp and I lose the will to live everytime she puts up a story, because it's always about her daughter.

This is her current profile picture where she is pleading with fellow parents and other students to speak up. So far, nothing.
If you're wondering why this school has been able to keep this scandal contained, a peek behind the curtain at who owns it provides an answer.

Akinsola Akinfemiwa is the former CEO of Skye Bank, current Chairman of @heritagebankplc and a board member of @TCN_NIGERIA.

Nobody is passing judgment, but I remember 20 years ago in JSS1, my French teacher called Madam Oni punished a classmate called Ikenna Onwumere by wiping the chalkboard with the duster and then dusting his face with it.

Ikenna was asthmatic. And she knew.
She then made him walk from the classroom to the sick bay by himself while he started having an attack, and we could only sit and watch it happen.

Madam Oni was never prosecuted, fired or even reprimanded by the school. She died last year and I was seeing flowery condolences.
My point?

Even expensive schools in Nigeria have extremely problematic ideas about child rights, school bullying and assault. They are expensive, but they are operated and staffed by Nigerians nonetheless.

If a school like Dowen is culpable, they will never admit it.

When I wrote this thread in September, I had no idea that one of the biggest agricultural industry stories in Nigeria's history was 2 months away. One of the recommendations here was the use of partnerships.

Then this happened.
This is quite possibly the single biggest partnership between food processors in Sub Saharan Africa, and I’m tempted to ignore talking about the potential upsides to toot my own prescient horn.🙃

We're keeping it professional, so here's what this merger means for the industry
Cumulatively, both companies have spent over 80 years manufacturing and marketing flours, pasta instant noodles, semolina, sugar, cooking oils, starch, breakfast cereals and everything in between.

It's a bit like Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo signing for the same team.

The science I grew up learning was a boring, reliable, opinion-free, globally constant entity. Pi was 3.14 whether you lived in Beruit or London or Bulawayo.

Now we have celebrity scientists eho hold contradictory positions and people who say things like "Trust the science."🤷🏿‍♂️
I grew up learning that science existed to be constantly challenged, and scientific fact could only be established using the "scientific method" as against consensus and "because I said so."

Maybe the rules have changed since then, I don't know.
Apparently, there is no longer any such thing as universal scientific fact in this COVID era. Now there are just widely varying opinions which are all supposed to have value because the holders wear white lab coats.

Nothing is true anymore. Nothing is a lie.
