♾️There is a self-sabotage streak in the Nigerian society. We hate & pull down the best among us,thereby perpetuating a state of underdevelopment.

Why is the most accomplished @officialABAT receiving the most negativity?

Atiku has no record of repute, Obi has nothing to show. Obi only talks about China, Singapore and other far-off places,never about a lasting legacy he facilitated or a future he envisioned. Atiku's record of financial aggrandizement can be attested to by children of parents laid off from corporations brainlessly privatised by him.

#Nigeria: The different opinions on cheap public tertiary education in our country reveal the complexity of the problems we face.

What level of education do we need for the level of our economic development? How prevalent is university education in the advanced economies? It seems to me that we copied many things wrongly from our colonialial masters and tertiary education is one of them. What has been the value of university education to our overall economic development? How many farms and industries are creating wealth for our booming population?

#Nigeria : What obtuse anti-Buhari arguments have I not endured in the hands of my friends?
"That NNPC made its first profit in 40 years is no big deal, its part of an agenda anyway."
"JAMB also making its first profit is nothing cos it was not set up for profit-making " We daily bemoan our underdevelopment as a result of bad leadership since independence but when a nation-centred leader in the person of @MBuhari finally came our way, our people always look for ways to rubbish his achievements. They mock him because he refused to share money.

It should be clear to all by now that religion will not be the salvation of Africa or Nigeria.

Religion is revered in northern Nigeria, yet the vicious bandits raping early post-partum women abound. In the South, pastors do human sacrifice to get rich. ImageImage In the south, Pastors tell fake stories combined with false prophesies and yet gullible humans look up to them and call them, 'Papa'!

People give offerings for decades with the promise of an elusive heavenly blessing...they turn around to blame government for their poverty!

#NigeriaPolitics: Forget the Yoruba charlatans like Sunday Igboho and his motley crew of ignoramuses, tribal zealots & criminals of all hues; the guiding-spirit of SW political thought, late Chief Awolowo, believed in one strong united Nigeria existing as a true Federation. He believed a strong& united Nigeria, in a manner of speaking, to be " the great hope of the race." His politics actually was about the black man proving to the world that he could rule himself...

He wanted an egalitarian society based on the principle of Democratic socialism.

#Nigeria: The irrational behaviour of the so-called opposition in Nigeria got me depressed over the past few days. How can you rejoice that your soldiers are dying from terrorist attacks and your fighter jets are downed?

Same people are happy Twitter HQ went to Ghana. Many of these useless citizens are educated in the Humanities but there is no humanity in them. Many attend churches, mosques and shrines but their souls actually have no faith. These are just lower beasts who have pledged their hearts to Satan.

#NigerianPolitics: The inter-tribal hostilities presently brewing in the south-west of Nigeria 🇳🇬 between Yoruba & Fulani people need not happen if all parties are ready to shun dishonesty & allegiance to primordial tribal sentiments. We must not allow an escalation. That there is a problem of criminals hiding in SW forests is beyond a doubt.These criminals are known to disguise as Fulani people carrying out legitimate cattle herding business in the region. Some of the criminals have also been found to be fulani in times past & recently.

#ASUU : The members of this union will get full pay( and some) for 9months of work not done, in the year of #covid_19 and subsequent recession.

Everybody loves to profit from our dysfunctional system. We then hypocritically look up to God to 'come heal our land'! Other university unions are already doing press-up for their own impending strike. Their strike will be followed by strikes in the healthsector and other unions in the civil service.

Then we will blame the executive arm of the government for not growing our economy!

#Nigeria:I hear our #Amotekun is already misbehaving in the SW and many people are already saying, 'we told you so!' Hm.

I thought we all agree that true federalism is the future for Nigeria. Why then are you mocking the initial steps towards this ultimate goal? We cant be talking like people who don't know what they want. The 'true federalism' must of necessity include such things as giving more security responsibility & power to the states, fiscal federalism & constitutional reforms involving our concurrent/exclusive lists.

#Nigeria: Parents must bear the first responsibility for the children they bring into this world before we begin putting blames on the government of the day. Many of the bandits & terrorists in northern Nigeria were denied parental care too early in life.

SLS on my mind now. Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was trying to say something about developing a new approach to family structure in the North but somehow the baby was thrown away with the bathwater. I agree he veered too deeply into politics.

It is clear the issue must be revisited.

#NigeriaPolitics: Once you see that fake-blood stained picture on anyones Twitter dp, just know that he or she is one of those who want to pull our country down through a multifaceted civil war.

Distance yourself from such people by unfollowing them. Defacing the flag of a country in any way is a sign of disrespect to the country and is in fact a crime.

Hating a president or a party or a government should not equate to hating your country.

Many of those people are suffering from an incurable inferiority complex as Africans.

#NigeriaPolitics: Advice to all those who vehemently hate Buhari and his government: there is still time to form your political party and vie for power at all levels in 2023. It's not far.

All these asinine schemes to unseat a government mid-tenure will only lead to bloodshed. As you strategize,make sure you get people outside of Lagos involved, make sure you involve every geo-political zone.

All these grandiose talk of youth power based on primordial animal rage is rubbish.

Look at a map of Nigeria, Lagos is only a small part of Nigeria.

#Nigeria:Shame on the conveners of the ENDSARS protest. Now,a curfew has been imposed in Lagos.

How you disguised your ignoble plot to unseat a government behind the call to 'EndSARS' is disingenuous & stands condemned.

There must be a day of reckoning. I hope it will be soon. We warned all of you fellows who kept applauding these ignorant folks with large followings on social media but kept clapping nonetheless.

We shall see, how many of you are ready to join a militia when the time comes?

Please call 'Mochievous' et al. to come home now.

DO NOT GIVE UP NIGERIA TO ANARCHISTS AND NIHILISTS

Anarchists do not believe in authority while Nihilists believe in no morality or religion : perfect descriptions of the so-called youths who want to use the 'End SARS 'protest to terminate our democracy.

We must resist them! Unfolding right now before us us is an insurrection against our government and way of life. Do not fall for their lies anymore.

How did a 5-point demand transmutate to 20 points ( and counting)? Why did the youth representative not show up at Lagos judicial panel inauguration?

People are actually wishing for anarchy to set in. They lay all the blame for our developmental short-comings on @MBuhari's head. Hm. We tried our best.

Una eyes go soon clear! Find out how long it took the United Nations under the leadership of a black man, Kofi Anna, to intervene in Rwanda? Close to 1 million people had been killed already.

It will take longer this time because the world has it's hand full of crises.

#Nigeria:The negative commentaries relating to the rise in fuel price is finally confirming what I've always suspected about our COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE being very low.

No doubt we have individually brilliant people but their brilliance has been of no use to the country. How do young people like and retweet a post in support of fuel subsidy removal 2 months ago and now that the subsidy has been removed with the corollary of upward price variation setting in,they are now supporting Sowore's revolution!😀

#NigeriaPolitics: I hope whoever is taking over the affairs of this country come 2023 already has a semblance of his team in place. He must hit the ground running.

He shouldn't even have the luxury of waiting 1 month to unveil his team.

We need a prepared leader at this time. My only interest at this point is that Nigeria needs to actualize its great potentials. Despite the challenges posed by the many tribal and cultural differences, we can still find a way through to make life worth living for the average citizen.

DID EUROPE REALLY UNDERDEVELOP AFRICA?
Issues from the Trial of Ibrahim Magu.

Nigeria is often used as a proxy for Africa in discussions of governance and development.

I believe one of the reasons we have remained underdeveloped is our love for destructive politics. The destructive politics we play has no rules of morality or ethics. We abhor decency and hard-work. Core Societal values such as truthfulness, integrity and simple-living are openly mocked. Criminals have become our heroes. Children of thieves have the effrontery to talk.

#Nigeria: I don't mind it when people criticise the government and express some level of discouragement about the state of things in the country.

But I believe we must understand the issues and apportion blames appropriately. Let's be honest , what is the state of power in your arear? What is the level of insecurity? Healthcare?Law enforcement and obtaining justice via our courts?

Truth is, it takes some level of privilege to lead a meaningful in our country as of today.

#APCNigeria: If not that Abba Kyari is dead, the present drama going on in the party would have been blamed on him yet again. He was our favourite fall guy for everything that went wrong in Nigeria. But, God why did you do this to us ? It seems my @MBuhari is the only member of the imaginary cabal. That is my firm believe.

Somehow it's clear he doesn't have the patience for the intrincacies of party politics. He avoids getting involved and when forced to choose he bases his choice on simplistic assumptions.

1.THE CHALLENGE OF BUILDING NIGERIA

It soon becomes clear to any well-meaning citizen who has done a bit of reading on the political history of Nigeria that patriotism and optimism will not be enough to transform our country.

Our development lies beyond partisanship. I explain. 2.Nigeria has been blessed with true patriots and nationalists since the colonial era when Nigeria became an entity. We have had brilliant orators, thinkers and politicians but the majority of our people still live in poverty and crime is becoming the new societal norm.
