"I hope soldiers rape your wife for supporting this evil regime"

First of all i am not married.

You can see this Woke idiocy is spreading faster than Covid. Some of these guys need to go to a WOKE detox centre or something. Plain truths don't matter to these folks.

We now live in a Nigeria where simply stating "a plain truth" has become a risky proposition. Uttering a reasonable opinion that is deemed "unacceptable" by the woke mob can get you smeared as an apologist for an oppressive regime or a paid stooge. I so wish the latter was true.

You always hear them say we need to have an honest conversation about important matters. But make a valid point. Rather than grapple with the substance of the critique, these guys take it personal with a rain of insults and threats

..Which exposes the authoritarian tendencies of these people. We have reached a point where we often isolate ourselves from people with differing political opinions.

This is harmful in the obvious sense It diminishes open political discourse.

They are simply people who have different opinions than you. Those opinions do not make them evil. For context, I am embarassed and dissatisfied with this administration because of its unbelievably WEAK, INARTICULATE and INCOHERENT foreign policy.

I am also EXTREMELY PLEASED and PROUD of this administration for the following reasons:

1. Infrastructure.
2. Military.
3. A burgeoning military industrial complex.
4. Less corruption in the military.

Nigeria has built the best infrastructure West Africa has ever seen in less than a decade. Roads, ports, bridges, high speed internet, the longest "Light rail" network in Africa.

Abuja to Kaduna

State of the art control room. There is no compromise when it comes to the safety of passengers.

LAGOS IBADAN

LAGOS RED LINE

ENUGU - PORT HACOURT

PORT HACOURT AIRPORT 2016

PORT HACOURT AIRPORT 2020

326km itape to warri..

OSHODI INTERCHANGE

The largest and most modern bus terminus in Africa. Able to handle a million passenger a day.

This is by no means an exhausted list. But as you can see there are pros and cons. It's never a zerosome game.

Yet we live in a time when too many of us have given in to the activists and have become afraid to tell plain truths.

We're afraid the mob will come after us. But what happens when we become a nation of people who are afraid to speak plain truths?  What happens when it's easier to say nothing than to speak honestly about what we believe?

It's time for everyone to come to their senses.

I take solace in the fact that sooner or later Nigerians, the rational ones will say

" We've had enough of this self saboteur nonsense. For many Nigerians, that day can't come soon enough.
