People are wired differently Distinguished and friends are friends not because they agree 100% on everything but because they value, regard and respect one another regardless. There is no shame in standing for what you believe in based on your conviction. Not for violence too.
I strongly believe descending to the level of the aggressor makes you kindred in spirit. No one can make a donkey of you unless your back is bent. Consenting to the gutter bout by striking the provocateur creates a two fighting scenario & it’s hard to really tell who is who now.
You also must know that our society is depraved and most people void of purpose will always lust after entertainment, drama & conflict. The Greeks get this by creating an event at the coliseum, where gladiators fight to the death. Distraction like entertainment is a tool today.
Those who believe in belligerence as a means of persuasion will hardly see the point of those who adopt non-violence & non-verbal reaction to an aggressor in public spaces. For some also it may be a momentary lapse of judgement. But in all, things happen & people will be people.

There’s an actual inter-agency disparity in wages that need to be urgently addressed across security institutions from @PoliceNG to @nigimmigration. Nothing justifies those serving at @officialEFCC & @CustomsNG earning far more than colleagues of equal ranks in sister agencies.🚔
In the days where a systemic ceiling is being built to cement the fact that 95% if not more of Nigerians MUST never have N5Million in their account unless they are into fraud, it may be safe to assume that our state has normalized the systemic weaponization of poverty in Nigeria.
Those in paramilitary organizations may not be legally empowered to unionize but the onus is upon the active citizenry whom they are mandated to serve to be their voice. It doesn’t take long to complete 35years in service under a poor salary and bleak retirement in view.

If we actually know what we are doing as citizens & youth of this Nation, we MUST ensure none of those occupying the seat at the senate returns come 2023. These are the folks blatantly weaponizing poverty.

They steal huge sums & wants you reported to EFCC for N5m deposit?! 🤔
Upon close examination of the said bill outside the erroneous account of publications, the Bill laid emphasis on: “any SINGLE transaction or lodgment in EXCESS of N5m for an individual and N10m for a corporate body.”

I still have an issue but this won’t affect the masses.
This is not to say that we shouldn’t pay rapt attention to the kind of people we stampede to the Legislative arm of Government. They are as important as who we make President. Eternal Vigilance is key.

In 2019, the average cost of a Vote was valued at N30k per head under the guise of TraderMoni, shared to people in the grassroots months before election under the ‘ShareManship” of the one they want you to consider for President next with zero political collateral. #VoteWisely
This begs the question…”Will 2023 Election be bought?”Only you can decide that by shunning voter apathy, avoiding being cajoled or coerced by their propaganda, which will be deafening this time and finally by protecting your votes as made easier by the Electoral Act 2021.
Unless of course we enjoy pitching a tent at the worship of our problems where misery often finds company, we will stop playing the victim card and take responsibility. You can’t say there are no options for there are several this time around. #GettingItRightNG🇳🇬

To expect the globals to develop an appetite for Revolution in Nigeria is to believe yet again in the prowess of an alleged corruption fighting strongman General, wrapped in Aluminum foil and stampeded to power to deliver Nigeria of all that ails it.
They don’t care beyond ensuring our humanitarian crisis doesn’t get to the point where they would have to grant 2% of 200million people asylum under Article 14 of Universal Declaration of Human RIghts.
I still don’t get why we are overly concerned about external influence by the way, as though they were not involved in the decadence through the years.

We are all that we have and I’m glad you know this my great sir.

It’s a shame on people who repeat what their eyes have not seen or rumors they have not verified. I owe my life to my nation and will never abandon my responsibility to the future of all our children despite not holding public office. I’m rooted & will always be available.
You are however free to call anyone you so choose for intervention. We have an institutionalized structure in place that will engage your petition with @SIAF_NG and @PoliceNG_CRU and the @PoliceNG is highly responsive now. The new Act is also being tweaked to serve us better.
The case in point has been engaged and @PoliceNG is not acting out of order. It is an ongoing investigation of a case of robbery and everyone in the vicinity was rounded up as suspect for questioning. We have engaged the originator of the tweet and monitoring the process.

Having paper money without influence is an embarrassment. Even amidst the rich, the race to wealth is fierce because the possession of money must get to a stage where your resources become a WEAPON for paranoia to abate. #ThinkThisThroughImage
For the purpose of illustation, no society deems you rich just because you ride a nice car and can handle your business sustainably or subsistently. You become valued when the fear factor is inherent. Imagine someone buying off a firm & shutting it down just to prove a point.
This is what our inherent tyranny within lust for in the pursuit of money. It may begin with the need to buy what one wants but after a time you get saturated and grow tired of buying what you have ni use for. You begin to seek more money to do dangerous things to rise to fame.
