You're a Nigerian because you belong to the Yoruba, a tribe indigenous to Nigeria before Independence. If Nigeria ceased to exist, you'd still be Yoruba.
You're not Nigerian before your tribe, you're Nigerian because of your tribe. You people need to stop this rubbish.
Let's start price control with your business shall we? Someone should be able to book you to cover an event for ₦15,000 if that's the going price for a photographer in Zungeru.
One of the best that will happen to Nigeria is price control system—I want to be able to buy a bag of rice in Kano at the rate of N56,000 and still the same when I visit Enugu, Lagos, Calabar.
I know right. Unlike rice that just puts itself in the ground, germinates, bags itself and magically finds its way to the market ready for purchase.
Photography is definitely more complicated than rice farming.
Funny though. You can't control the price of the service rendered by a photographer. Many things are involved from the process to the post production. Service differs from Goods sha.
My Saudi Arabia diplomat friend once told me “I am amazed at how freely and vigorously you guys in Nigeria express yourselves on social media in Nigeria”
That is actually a fact. Freedom of expression on social media in Nigeria is as good as you can find anywhere.

I've never seen a trader complaining that the price of his product is about to increase.
Unless of course what you really want to do is steal people's land, not sell cows.
You should talk to your colleague, the Minister of Interior. Ask him to explain why the Police and NSCDC failed to protect government infrastructure.
If he fails to give you a good answer, report him to your boss, the President.
Hope this helps.
Sad to learn that our Digital Innovation Park in Kano slated for launch next week to support our technical talent accelerator (3MTT) has been set ablaze and looted by protesters. Alongside

I thought we agreed to let people keep their secret stash. For all we know, the man may be dealing with trauma from gold diggers in his past.
Nne sign that prenup.
Bio says he's the Chairman, Nigeria-Czech Trade and Investment Council. But he's here saying importation does damage to our economy.
So why are you heading a council promoting trade and investment from Czechia if importation damages the economy?
A person who lacks the vision,capacity and patriotism to use his capital in building factories to produce things locally but resolved to importation for financial gain not minding the damage it does to our economy cannot be trusted to change overnight when he is in power.
So instead of patronising the one that is selling cheaper, your brilliant idea is price controls?
Would you accept same for your legal services Counsel? To be benchmarked against the lowest price charged by any lawyer in your Branch? Deal?
This week, I bought a pack of malt 12,300 and a pack of water 1,750. When I needed more, I went to another place and the person sold a pack of malt 11,300 and water 1,500. Both are wholesales stores, same location but different prices for same products.
Price control is a must!
Twitter has been a culture shock for the fundamentalists up North. For long they've marinated in a culture of extremism without pushback.
Now they come here and see their core beliefs challenged and they become defensive.
The irony of smearing Yorubas because of the last election is that Tinubu actually had the worst showing in his region of the 3 candidates.
Obi swept the SE, and Atiku only lost Borno.
Tinubu lost Lagos and Osun, and had to fight off Atiku in the other four states.
The military did irreparable damage to our national psyche. That's why a quarter century after they left, we still cannot countenance that the laws of the land should apply in interactions between soldiers and civilians.
I support this move. While those that were beating the officers went unabated, the rest of the shop owners watched and recorded the incident. Lock it up for one year, please.
What's the cut-off point? Because your current income level is ostentatious relative to more than half the country. They could make the same argument about you with the same moral force.
Unless they're breaking the law, people should keep the reward for the value they provide.
You voted Buhari because you were a low information idiot with a reduced capacity for comparison.
Buhari was not a dark horse, he had a history in public life going back to 1966. Acknowledge your foolishness and learn to make better decisions.
Why did I vote for Buhari in 2015:
Economy was low compared to other predecessors and insecurity was rearing its ugly head. Since these were alien, Buhari was given a pass mark to tackle n make it better.
My greatest regret was my patriotism brought in an ABSOLUTE MORON IN 2015
When stripped down, the decision to vote Buhari over GEJ comes down to being an idiot with impaired decision-making abilities.
The ability to couch your idiocy in verbiage leaves you convinced that you were not one. No lessons learned, just stupid justifications.
What made GEJ’s regime so annoying—so irritating on a personal level—was this: he wasted the presidency of Nigeria.
No one asked him to be an imperial president, but he ought to have been a crisis president. The last few years of his time were a crisis period in Nigeria. But the
You must learn to take responsibility Jide. You imposed a curfew in Lagos and withdrew security forces from the streets, setting the stage for the carnage we saw. This is your doing Jide.
Our beautiful city has seen a level of destruction almost akin to a war zone. It was a shocking and very sad spectacle. Our land took a beating and this hurts. Historical buildings, cultural centres, private malls, government holdings and private businesses were pillaged & burnt.
Lol. Akin please shut up.
When they talk about my generation, they'll be talking about young men like you who quote Santayana but support the ghost of 1984.
They'll be referring to your justification of electoral violence as pressing Jorginho.
30 years from now, someone will rise and write rubbish like this about your generation, because as George Santayana said, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Let’s educate you.
The babbling idiot supported Buhari with his history of brutality and human rights abuse. But yeah, let's hear her mime about how dictatorships threaten democracy.
Airhead.
The tragic thing about Bosun's fooling is that he's one of the few ministers who actually has a job outside politics. He doesn't need to debase himself like this, he just chooses to do so.
Minister of Communication, Bosun Tijani said that the bad network today was because there are too many people online cos they did not go to work today 😂😂💀💀💀. Just imagine !
No, you're not being empathetic, you're just pandering.
A fast is supposed to be a religious observance where you detach from the world in order to connect to the divine. If you need people to adjust their behaviour because you're fasting then the purpose is defeated.
I am so amazed at how everyone concludes I’m muslim and attempting to impose sharia on others cos I’m calling for empathy during fast. 🤣
This is troubling, the level of religious resentments & intolerance. Far far deeper than I thought.
I’m christian, & I believe in empathy.
This is why I am always cross with these sycophants. Even when they get close to those in power, instead of talking like humans, they literally just asslick and faff around…:. This is absolutely infuriating!
Perhaps your god did not hear you. Perhaps he was asleep or he went away on a trip. Arise Sister Bukky, rent your garment, cry with a loud voice that your god may harken unto you and provide wings for Nigeria Air.
Depends on what sort of terrorist activity he was involved in at the time of his assassination.
If for instance he was blocking the convoy of an American General, I'll have to reluctantly admit, on the basis of precedence established by Buratai himself, that he had it coming.
My heartfelt condolences to President Yoon Suk-yeol, the Govt and people of South Korea, and families of victims of the tragedy in Itaewon. I pray for speedy recovery of the injured, and healing and comfort for the entire nation. Nigeria stands with you at this difficult moment.
One reason Buharists find it so hard to acknowledge their foolishness is that their image of themselves as intelligent, sophisticated people would take a hit.
They can't accept that when it came down to it, their voting decision was at the same level as that of an almajiri.
When stripped down, the decision to vote Buhari over GEJ comes down to being an idiot with impaired decision-making abilities.
The ability to couch your idiocy in verbiage leaves you convinced that you were not one. No lessons learned, just stupid justifications.
The tragic thing about the state of the country is that we're only just seeing the lagging effects of Buhari's misrule. Tinubu's incompetence is just exacerbating it. His own misrule is yet to kick in.

COVID–19: All restaurants, bars, night clubs and event centres nationwide are to be closed, the Federal Government has directed, part of its efforts to curtail the spread of the second wave of COVID-19 Pandemic.
Nothing to see here, just the latest performance of a script that has been played several times across this unfortunate continent since the 1960s.

Ms. Ahmed is from a region wracked by religious extremism and grinding poverty which has birthed two internationally recognised terrorist groups but she is more concerned with the 'provocation' caused by those who believe in Biafra.
He's your guy Feyi. Don't come here to do "This guy" like you didn't know he was a tribal warlord when you were writing articles and insulting people for him in 2014/2015.
Don't dissociate from your guy because he's being himself. That's poor form.
Botswana is what some Nigerians think Rwanda is. Their obsession with strongmen has them salivating over Kagame's PR while ignoring a successful democracy down South.
Fellow Nigerians.
Below is Botswana’s Minister of Trade.
(Born 1987). Economist. Young, vibrant, dynamic.
The levers of knowledge and wealth creation has changed.
How long are you gonna let old farts like me ruin your future? You think we understand how your world works?
Middle class Nigerians calling for a violent revolution will never not be funny.
They're not equipped to survive the revolution nor the post-revolutionary political and economic landscape, but every fortnight one of them will quip about how it's the only imperative.
You people need to understand that you're not benefactors to your employees.
You have a contract with them, and you have a legal obligation to fulfil your end of that contract. You owe them, same way you owe your vendors and customers. They don't owe you appreciation.
Lol! The making payroll bit. I bootstrapped a company for 6 years with over 30 employees and never missed a salary. This is mostly because I had to earn in other consulting gigs so I can pay my employees.
We really should appreciate founders and what they are doing through
These people provide their own power, water, security, education etc after paying taxes, yet they never pressure their government.
All it takes is a price increase from DStv and the spirit of Bastille will fall upon them.
Rank idiots.
The Fulani warlord who is impotent in the face of terrorists who've overrun his region is issuing threats to the SE.
His threats come on the heels of false flag operations that his security services have been orchestrating in the region for weeks.
Not just any sitting president, an experienced coup plotter with visible disdain for the democratic process. A man who lost three elections and unleashed violence each time.
But educated Nigerians who know more words than they have brain cells believed they would vote him out.
It'll never not be funny to see upwardly mobile people who're living a life that over 70% of Nigerians cannot even dream of, railing about the immorality of billionaires on account of the existence of the destitute.
Simple. If Atiku had your vote before now, we can assume it was because you bought into his plan. If he lost it because he refused to participate in this farce, then it's obvious you're more interested in a spectacle than the man's actual plan.
“Atiku has lost my vote because he didn’t debate.”
I’ve emphasised since 2017 that this election isn’t about anyone else but Buhari as the incumbent - removing him is more important than any aesthetics of candidacy.
If we need four more years to learn, so be it for all of us.
Every other day,
@HQNigerianArmy
will organise one seminar or the other about military-civil relations; but it's obvious those seminars are for media consumption and meeting KPI.
The face of military-civil relations is wild animals like this brutalising civilians.
Tunde Bakare and Onu have stood by the depredations of the last seven years, but a few minutes rambling at a convention where they did not stand a chance in hell, and people are praising them for courage.
We really have no sense of self-preservation as a people.
Now they are trying to swing the narrative by lying that he tried to invade the police station. Lies. He went to bail those that were arrested. He was arrested. CP even boasted that he has a score to settle with him. Madness!

One concession I would like to make to Edmund's proposal for restricted franchise is that people who owe salaries should not be allowed to vote, as it is indicative of moral bankruptcy.
1. This morning’s Controversial musings: I wish voting as a civic duty didn’t come with the burden of equity.
So to qualify to vote you have to be in the top 10% percentile for tax payment, WAEC or Uni degree. So only 20M of the brightest & most enterprising Nigerians can vote
Again, God will punish Muhammad Buhari.
For 16 years Nigerians were leaving established careers in Europe and North America to come and set up shop at home.
Now people in senior management are uprooting their lives to go and do second degrees and certification programmes.
It appears a section of Nigerian Twitter believes another country's immigration and citizenship policies should be measured by whether or not it favours us, and not what it actually does for the country in question.
Anyone who expects anything from

You have a Wharton-educated billionaire whose adult life has been spent in boardrooms bending people to his will vs a half-literate cattle rearer who got by on account of his tribe.
It's not a fair fight.
Anyway, I remember when Nigerian immigrants in the US used to twerk for awon ADOS/FBA and tell the rest of us that we don't have the range.
Now ADOS people wan collect their Range Rover. E be things.

Shameless hack.
This idea that we'll be a threat to world powers is one of the manifestations of our national delusions of grandeur.
More worrisome is the fact that it absolves us of responsibility for our sorry state, because we can chalk it up to a grand design by the West to keep us down.
Exactly, you know nothing. That's why you supported a genocidal recessionist like Buhari; and that's why you put up a video of you dancing like a deranged lunatic when he won.
So shut up and work on your sub-par decision-making process. If you were Igbo you'd be thinking better.
If I was Igbo I would feel insulted at the notion that we were only good for number 2 or number 3 position but then what do I know

@ProfOsinbajo
who is a SAN should have advised against this.
JUST IN: President
@MBuhari
suspends the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen and appoints Mr. Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed as acting CJN.
Seven years on and people are still making out the No. 2 man in the worst administration to befall this country as some sort of victim.
A law professor and SAN who stood behind Buhari's repeated assaults on the Judiciary, and yet he's proclaimed a thoroughbred professional.
I have a lot of respect for VP Osinbajo.
I think of him as a decent man and
a thoroughbred professional
And I posit that had he not been captured by a feudalistic mind set, he would have made a notable difference.

Poland used two men first to get a massive lead over women, that lead was wiped out in one lap by men. Biology has a way of beating social constructs.
We did not replace factories with religious buildings. It's not as if churches bought out thriving factories then proceeded to dismantle the equipment so they can turn it to a church auditorium.
Government policies led to factories shutting down. Frame your arguments properly.
Some Pastors are buying private jet here and there, in the midst of abject and very serious poverty, and our people are celebrating. Same way we replaced factories with religious buildings. Before you call me anti-Christ or twist my words, please reflect on the message.
