December 2008: My MSc classmate in London looked me in the eye and told me he never knew there were academically sound Abokis. I’ll never forget that moment.
Making a lot of sense until he said “baza mu dena son ka ba”. This is exactly why he takes you for granted. Annabi ne shi? What sort of slave mentality?
The FBI will conclude it’s investigation, build a case then make an arrest. EFCC will make an arrest, paint properties red, snap defendants, post pictures online then start looking for evidence to build a case.
Wallahi we are in a dire situation. People are leaving hospitals to go home and die because they can’t afford healthcare. Men are going awol and abandoning their families because they can’t afford to feed them.
Our society is full of all the horrible immoral things we accuse the West of but we keep covering it up in the name of religion (which is ironic) and culture. So much abuse going on in our homes, our schools and on the streets but we keep looking the other way.

I have seen boko haram attacks, I’ve seen armed robbery, I have seen kidnapping, I’ve seen extrajudicial killings, I’ve seen arson and destruction of property. All in the space of 24hrs. This nation is cursed.
You are absolutely right. But I hope you know this is a hausa movie. It’s Adam Zango lying on the ground. We shouldn’t dilute the message with fake images pls..
This photo broke my heart! It bespeaks profound anguish & helplessness. Boko Haram is on a murdering spree of our soldiers, but all that the presidency cares about is the 2019 election. The president's aides are tweeting about empty endorsements and about GEJ's book. Incredible!
Not a single friend came to Emefiele’s trial. The only ones still around are family. His brother is always in court.
Your family should be your priority in whatever you do. They will never abandon you.
He wants you to be “more patient” whilst his unelected wife spends 1.5billion on Cars. Whilst he spends N4billion on a Lagos residence that he won’t use more than 5 times a year. This is insulting, insensitive and indefensible.
FG to spend N6.9 billion on cars for First Lady’s Office and Presidential Villa
The Federal Government has budgeted over N6.9 billion on procurement of vehicles for the State House, with the Office of the First Lady receiving N1.5 billion.
This governor thinks he has done a fantastic job by purchasing these vehicles and charging N100 per passenger. Kuma I don’t blame him. Iyakar basirar sa kenan. People cannot perform beyond their capability.
Sokoto state is amongst the poorest states in Northern Nigeria, but the sitting Governor decided to purchase premium vehicles for taxis, each of those vehicles is worth between 18-20million Naira. Are we sure we know the type of leaders we elect into public offices?

Sahad’s business model, at least a couple of years ago, was to allow manufacturers to bring in their products, place on his shelves and pay him a small commission after selling. That was why no one could compete with his prices.
I don’t know their model now but the man strikes
Why ASUU National Executive Council members need to board buses and go to Lagos for a meeting in this day and age beats me. Then pay for hotel rooms. With 5k worth of data, one can spend hours on a video conference. And they have supposed to have most innovative minds amongst us.
We harvest our rice. Then pay N700 per bag to get it across the river. N500 for amalanke. N200 to load in truck. N2,000 to transport to factory.
That is N3,400 per bag.
If there was a decent road to the village. We will be able to get a bigger truck and it would cost us N1,200
Why does my 6 year old daughter have more vocabulary than myself and her mum. She is telling us what we saw on TV is not a bat. It’s a Pterodactyl. What the heck is a Pterodactyl 😭.

Any man that counts Maggi will show you his true colour before marriage. You chose to ignore it. There is no way he wouldn’t slip up no matter how hard he tries to hide it.
If you’re a tailor and you employ additional hands, you can't pay the person below 70,000. If you have a housemaid you cannot pay them below 70,000. If you hire a driver or a gateman, you cannot pay them below 70,000. - Sen. Akpabio on how the new minimum wage applies to all.
There is cost-push inflation. There is demand-pull inflation. Then there is another one peculiar to Nigeria, inflation due to our collective wickedness and exploitation.
I find it mind boggling the way people jostle for sarauta. I personally believe it’s more of a burden. Why subject yourself to a life of uncomfortable clothes, uncomfortable horse rides and so many other constraints?
Breaking News: Nigerian NDLEA just arrested a man at the airport with luggage full of drugs…
By the shape of the suspect head, You shall know the people involved already
I am sorry but we have some daft people running this country. Your policies lead to the rise in price of rice and now you want to introduce a subsidy programme to reduce the price.
I am back. People don’t understand how insulting this is to the bride. Whether it’s a joke or not. It is her day. In front of her friends and family. And some stupid friend is listing exs.
'I used to give away food, now I'm being assisted with food.'
In northern Nigeria, 4.4 million children under five are acutely malnourished, more than double last year’s figure according to the World Food Programme.

One of my PhD students is going to become a parent - any tips for how I can be as supportive as possible gratefully received (given I have no children and thus might miss obvious things).
Abeg where are all the electric car owners in Naija wey dey laugh us, esp the Tesla guys, how much do you pay in light bills after charging your car?
No shame just tell us
How can you be 50 and be reduced to counterattacking opponents half your age on social media. Shouldnt you be in some strategic committee or something? 🤔
The relationship between women and their tailors is very complicated especially when the tailor is good. They don’t meet deadlines, they don’t pick their calls and the women still find a way to forgive them.
Tanzania have shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid.
It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production.
Neman kudin nan dai saboda iyayen mu da iyalan mu muke yi. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving your kids a head start in life as long as it’s legitimate. We are all not born equal.
Two successive governments can be rubbish. They are not mutually exclusive events. PMB was rubbish. PBAT is rubbish. Bunch of insensitive heartless thieves and criminals.
PS: GEJ was rubbish too.
You should be ashamed of yourself if you defend any of them.
It’s only in Nigeria that someone that has been in public service for the past 14yrs with no other verifiable source of income, will donate such amount. No questions asked.
Every Jew no matter their country of origin is entitled to an Israel passport except, you guessed right, black Jews. The legal status of Black Jews is still “unresolved”
So they should be punished for being hardworking and successful in business? Does he even understand how many folks are in the value chain of the spare parts business? Does he know how much they contribute to the GDP of the state?
Come to think of it. The entire Haram crisis started because of police high-handedness. A well and alive Muhammad Yusuf was handed over to the police by the military, a few hours later, his brain was all over the floor.

The greatest threat to this nation isn’t economic. It isn’t corruption. It’s the hatred brewing in young minds. And the mindset that the other side is solely responsible for our predicament without looking inwards.
I honestly believe our Ulamas need some introspection. People didn’t just wake up one day and start disobeying them. Over the years people have started identifying them as part of the “oppressors”. Partly due to their lifestyle and how they interact with the political class. In

...Who is going to speak up for these young teenage girls? We are collectively guilty as a society for turning the blind eye. Our leaders are guilty for not educating them. For not educating their parents as well...
Twitter brings out a side of people that they seldom show in real life. You could be “friends” with someone for years, then see their opinion on something and start doubting if you ever knew them at all.
Kashim is perfectly entitled to vote whoever he wants to but Nigerians don’t owe Tinubu anything. He should tell us how he intends to solve our problems and move the country forward.
#ArewaMetoo
4 not doing enough to bring them out of poverty so they stop hawking & putting themselves at risk. Our ulamas for discouraging women to speak up. Our journalists for not bringing these stories to the forefront. We’re a society full of pretense & religious hypocrisy.
Maintaining a good relationship with your mother is very very important no matter how flawed she is. Please ignore woke twitter.
Islamically, she has the right to take your property without your permission. That’s how important she is.
It’s disturbing when a small girl still in her teens hates Jaafar and Albani so much to the point of justifying their murder. What on earth are her parents telling her? What will she turn to when she grows up because her conviction will only get stronger?
