Terrible things happen in Nigeria. We've lost the present and we want to lose the future.
I just left Transcorp Hotel Abuja, after my news analysis at Arise News TV. As I stepped to the lobby of the hotel, I saw a bevy of pretty young girls in their early 20s crowded in a corner.

There were all skimpily dressed as if there were commercial sex workers. The time was 10.30pm.
One of them rushed to greet me. “Good evening sir”. She was one of my students. I recognized her clearly because she had a slight disability and I paid attention to make sure she...

followed the coursework. I was shocked. I recognized three of those hotly dressed pretty young girls as fresh graduates of my department.
What are they all coming to do at this kind of Hotel at this hour and dressed in this manner? Of course, I think I know what it is.

A Nigerian politician or man of means may have arranged them for his pleasure, and those of his friends and acquaintances. Everyday, our girls are disoriented by these politicians who have neither shame nor conscience, because they have access to power and money.

We pride ourselves that we have a large youth population and that is a huge asset. But the truth is that we have a large hardware. The software is highly corrupted. Why do we intend to organize these adolescents into the life of immorality?

SORO SOKE IDEOLOGICAL SOMERSAULT:

Fellow Nigerians & Citizens of the World, there's a crisis that must be attended to IF we don't want our generation to go off the radar completely.
I've seen a clear Ideological somersault with our Soro Soke mindset. Abuse me later but READ👇

In a way, I'm now very happy that #EndSARS crisis happened. Avoidable crisis IF Govt had been responsive & responsible enough to listen to the pulse of Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation before this event. Avoidable crisis IF Soro Soke folks had known when to stop!

Happy because the #EndSARS crisis had made some things clearer. It has separated boys from men in a way. It has exposed pseudo-intelligence & exposed the costly assumption that Social Media folks had.
So let me narrow down this ideological somersault to what we can learn from:

1. You have no advantage over those who are PARTISAN if you keep claiming being non-partisan.

You will keep running away from your shadow by thinking you as a human being is actually non-partisan or assuming you have no political sentiment.
In reality, there's nothing like that!

Here's is how to know where your political sentiment falls yakata into. Once you see your ability to suppress the error of a particular political party & amplify their success, that's where your sentiment lies.
ANYONE that's quick enough to AMPLIFY the error, you know the answer!

The PRESIDENT and the OTHER "presidents" in the Presidency.

This thread is not about President Buhari's honouring the invitation of the @HouseNGR. Rather it is a mild exposè of what happens in the Presidency.

Read, Retweet & Share.

The President of Nigeria and many other Presidents in the World are subjects of very severe and intense manipulation; even those that appear very strong willed.

Strongest among the manipulators are the First Ladies 😌, top aides, favoured ministers, senior government officials, old friends/school mates, traditional and religious leaders and even concubines!!! 😉😁

At other times, the head of the security apparatus is more influential than any persons or groups especially where movements are concerned.

You may or may not believe this... A Security Chief or detail can stop a whole president from attending a function or stopping over to greet a friend or even going out at all, based purely on his own personal interest, program or disposition.

Nigeria’s Terror King, Shekau, Connects East, West And Centre In A Puzzling Agenda

Published on July 12, 2020

[THREAD]

Scorned and underrated, Abubakar Shekau, the leader of #BokoHaram is currently pulling a massive stealth strategy in an organisational makeover destined to connect the northeast, the north-west and the north-central in a bewildering expansionist agenda.

Defined by welcoming former apostates; engaging in factional reconciliations; admitting of modest ideological shifts; and proposing a balanced role for clerics and combatants in his group,

Shekau is on the move to consolidate his ranks and establish himself as the ‘African Jihadi Caliph’ after his 2011-12 falling out with Al Qaeda, the embattled Islamic State in Iraq and the Levent.

Often portrayed as a silly sick bag, on account of his frequent melodramatic video appearances, where he is either dancing, singing, mimicking others or indiscriminately shooting machine guns into the air,

In October 2020, the youths of Nigeria were fighting and making sure that we ended SARS. In the midst of this, we got news that got us in real shock. It was news that reminded us of how much the system has failed us.
 
Timi Adigun @timi_adigun , We call you out!

We have had pastors and ministers that made mistakes or misconduct themselves and apologize on altars or whatever platform publicly. It didn’t just start today. It’s even scriptural that you apologize and step down for a while until you are sober and the church prays for you.

It’s this level of pride and audacity to still plan to lead another church for me. To what end? To hurt them again?
Pastor Timilehin Adigun has been harassing so many girls in his ministry and church in the past 5 years— a lot of people even say it is beyond 5 years.

We are hurt, tired, mourning and have cried our eyes out. Our teenagers are stranded because of the fear of landing in the hands of another predator who supposedly calls himself a pastor.
A church that we put all of our hearts, submitted ourselves in service to - MINE TEENAGE

MINISTRY and THE ARK CHURCH. We all thought our sisters, brothers and teenagers were been helped. It has been the other way round. A lot of girls have beensexually assaulted by the “pastor” of this church and are stillnursing the hurt hoping that something would be done about it.
