We all have that voice within that tells us constantly that we’re not good enough. One that makes you feel invisible, amplifies impossibility & ultimately makes us fetishize our sadness in depression. It remains our responsibility to drown it out by taking up challenges.⛱
If you have been driven to believe you are alone in this, snap out of self pity and find a reason to wake up each day. Begin with physical exercises, enroll in something you enjoy that keeps you engaged even if it doesn’t bring money. Take baby steps & know that you matter.
We are in deep shit in Nigeria and globally because majority of the miracles that we are are yet to manifest and the world is waiting. You are not useless neither are you a biological accident as reinforced by the constant societal passive-aggressive messaging. Value yourself.
The most common excuse is your state of impecuniosity. “I don’t have money”, “if only I could get all the money I need, I would be fine”—Distinguished, the most depressed are those with means, fame & fortune. It is not a phase to begin the search for purpose. It’ll be hard then.
This is why most people have become professors of Nigeria’s problems. The projection of personal problems of the majority is an issue in itself because everyone sees from the colored prisms of kaleidoscope from which they experience the world & define reality.
It’s time to dust ourselves up and find common ground lest we all perish together as fool. One rich man in the village of impoverished people is still a poor man no matter what he drives or how big his house may be. Stop being triggered by the insensitivity of Instagram models.
Stop seeking what to poke holes in. Stop being intimidated and find what makes your heart sing. Begin every engagement with the consideration of what is necessary, kind or true before you contribute to any motion. You can get the attention you crave by being reasonable.
The main cause of unhappiness is your mindset and nothing outside of you. If you fix your perspective you will realize life is actually an interesting adventure. Cynicism & skepticism need not be your existential curse. I believe one day the world will listen to your ideas. 🙏🏽

We made it categorically clear that we do not want any untrained/half baked Tactical Squad of the @PoliceNG roaming our streets. This was what the agitation against the culture of impunity was about with #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG Advocacy. We @SIAF_NG have been getting reports…🚔
…that the SWAT team that now occupies the ADENIJI base of the defunct FSARS have started kidnapping and robbing citizens of biblical sums. A fresh report came in now, where N550,000.00 was forcefully extorted at gunpoint from someone abducted at the ikoyi link bridge.
It is unfortunate that @followlasg is yet to recover from the losses from the Protest against Police Brutality and it seemed our rogue units in the Police learnt nothing from this incident. We have notified the authorities and by morning we will fish out the rogue officers.

A lot has changed over the years and here are some of the things I share with my nieces & nephews who are now done with schooling;

1. Get married when U’re really ready (Don’t pressure yourself with a target age)

2. Plan for a retirement filled with loads of memories (not 💴)
3. Live a life of influence and visible impact, entrepreneurship never works without building meaningful relationships.

4. Never lust after eye candies or fall in love when you can be in love with the inner beauty that needs no make up.
5. Nothing makes our parents proud like our happiness while living a life of dignity and integrity, it is not necessarily about how much we earn.

6. Make REAL Friends. (It doesn’t have to be a village of people or popularity contest).

It just might be that you need more study in international relations, diplomacy & deeper understanding about individual country’s foreign policy. Nigeria is yet to define her own as divided by the age-long North Vs South politics of distrust.
Thus, the country distracts itself with playing big brother in Africa and gets nothing in return but betrayals & zero appreciation. We have served as a lesson to many on the “Charity begins at home” Doctrine. You can’t conquer the world without conquering yourself first.
There is nothing wrong with tagging foreign nations on matters that borders on treaties signed by our country with the international community. It is instructive especially when dealing with geriatrics who would rather look good outside than do good in their own country.

I’ve been meaning to address the issue with @adamugarba’s Crowwe App and several insinuations over the latest development with #TwitterBanInNigeria. I did my usual digging & was going to engage him at @akintollgate’s clubhouse session yesterday but he never returned as promised.
Adamu Garba may be known to most as a politician who ran for President in 2019 and later stepped down to support the #NextLevelAgenda of Mr President, but outside that he is also a young entrepreneur in the Tech industry with his firm (IPI Solutions).
Adamu like most political supporters of the Change agenda in his category benefitted from the admin even before 2019. If the @officialEFCC contract award notification to IPI Solutions on the 17th of April 2017 (EFCC/PROC/131/V.I) is anything you go by, the dots can be connected.

It is obvious the Admin has always been their own enemy. Being paranoid with their obsession with power and total control in order to secure their Regime at the expense of National security. The fear that Twitter may be weapon against them is only projected as a trauma response.
The same platform they heavily invested in to oust another admin is now being perceived as a threat against their misgovernance & maladministration. Human beings have the capacity to do good & evil and so does any Technology. John Wick even used a book to kill in combat.
Do we go about killing people because of our perceived notion of the evil they may be capable of doing? Do we ban anything & everything adopted by majority for the fear of abuse? This is paranoia. Twitter must never be driven underground because of the ego trip of the listless.

There’s no foreign partnership that can solve our internal security imbroglio fueled by the subjugation of the rule of law, nepotism & inequality. The self genocidal trend wasn’t an accident but deliberately curated by ethnic brigades with the blessing of the powers that be. 🚔
The same clannish sentiment that engineered the allusion that the war on Boko Haram is a war on the North. The same mentality that justified terrorist sympathizers in public office & security appointment to be skewed to the North. Murderous bandits are yet to be proscribed…
…and northern religious/political leaders are openly making a case for the Bandits’ murders, while others are issuing threats against our national sovereignty without consequences. 🇳🇬 is not a conquest of any Jihad & I wonder what the US/UK are coming to reinforce.
