ACTIVISM IS NOT A JOB...
it is a hustle that feeds from the fire it claims it wants to quench.
Times of danger may require some citizens to act above and beyond their normal duties to oppose tyrants like Abacha or Banagida, but these are times of difficulty, not danger...
Danger is when the president loots monies meant for the army in the face of an attack by Bokoharam.
Difficulty is when the president ends a subsidy that keeps our fuel at N150 only for 90% of it to be smuggled abroad and sold for N600..
Activists have no productive job and thrive

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE NIGERIA 1. HOW DO YOU BUILD A HOUSE? IN PHASES.
The first phase is called the substructure or the foundation. This is the most critical part because it will hold the house up. The foundation of a nation is made of Hope.
Hope for a good life and a secure future. Hope that each member of that nation can become successful enough to live in dignity and basic comfort if they apply themselves to diligent labour.

We are all born equal but the moment we draw our first breaths we immediately inherit the assets or liabilities of our parents, family, elders, and communities..
Dangotes child, 6months before she was born had no advantage over that of a destitute beggar..
But the moment she entered this world she acquired rights and privileges that the other can not dream of..
My analogy is about the inheritance of shame, scorn and disadvantage that some of you are building and bequeathing to your young and

Am I the only Christain who is worried and shamed by this behavior?
Is this what the pulpit is meant for?
On what basis aside from bigotry did this woman call for her church to vote for Peetobi and reject Tinubu?
And now that Tinubu has won, as attested to by duly appointed election observers, on what basis does she reject his election, aside from stubbornness and a spirit of pride and rebellion?
What does God say about us Christians submitting to those who are in authority?

Not all whites were in support of colonisation and slavery, but even those who weren't, kept quiet and faced their fronts while it happened... They weren't slavers themselves so their consciences were good, but they didn't reject the benefits of free labor and stolen resources..
Benefits that still accrue to entire populations in America and Europe today.
This is likeable to the IPOB/ESN onslaught on Lagos today.
Members of all tribes live in Lagos, but only one calls it a no man's land and plots openly to take over its governance infrastructure.

Key to the speedy and unanimous acceptance of Tinubu's victory by the international community is the strong stance of neutrality adopted by PMB ... A stance so neutral, that many APC memebrs will never be convinced that he was not opposed to BAT's emergence and candidacy..
I said it before and I'll repeat it now. Buhari could've selected and pushed through any of many other candidates, and they'd be the one today at Defence House waiting for inauguration.
Indeed he was encouraged to do just that, but he instead insisted on a democratic process..

If we’re serious about fixing Nigeria, then democracy is not enough. APC is not enough, and neither Tinubu nor Shettima will be enough.
Governments at all levels and across all divides have been too deeply infiltrated by economic and political saboteurs, foreign and domestic,
and compromised by subversive interest groups for us to honestly expect a miracle from Aso Rock or Alausa to lift Nigeria from off her knees.
The best any elected president, shackled by the constitution can do is build a house or a rail line.
It is left to citizens to move
