Fight of all, fight for all馃挭



At a sensitive time such as this, some people are so much concerned with tribal conspiracy theory instead of fighting as Nigerians with one voice.


The bad governance we are speaking against today does not only affect the Southerners, it's to every Nigerian home or away.


It may not bother you as it does to me how we get to recycle the same people in governance. They come disguised as saviours on a different political platform whereas it's no different from the other and then we approve of them thinking they'll do better.


Wow! See them shocking us one by one.


Nigeria is sixty years old for crying out loud and yea, we should enjoy good lives as Nigerians.


How annoying it is when I meet staunch followers of a particular leader and their level of reasoning still shows how blindfolded they are to see the obvious flaws.


Like how can one out of hundred person keep saying that one leader is doing well when it's otherwise? Mehnnnn

You mean to say the remaining ninety nine are sentimental to see the good in that governance. No No.


The Nigeria that's supposed to stand as an entity is gradually falling away tribally.


We just seem to share the same geographical location, the rest of our values are not common in any way.


Our brotherhood has since eroded and we've allowed where we come from define who we are and how we relate with others.


Take for instance this scenario, two candidates at a job interview. The company is owned by a Northerner. The candidate Aminu Abubakar that was sent by an Alhaji in Kano was given the job even though he wasn't qualified. The Adeleye Olanrewaju from Osun state who merits the job went home heartbroken, another trial in eight years of job hunting.


The more we put tribe as a major factor in decision making, the more things get spoilt even beyond redemption.


The bird app has been filled with all manner of criticisms on the move against bad governance in the country. Some said the protesters were sponsored to upturn this administration. Wait, is it too much to ask for a future?


We grew up with the nursery rhyme:

Parents, listen to your children

We are the leaders of tomorrow

Try to pay our school fees 

And give us sound education.


Does that even sound achievable? The leaders we've known since we were little are still in power. So, how do we fill up these positions when there's no vacancy? Our parents have tried to give us sound education but does the education now take away hardship we experience? Can we equally boast of good life?


If they won't allow us to be in governance, they should at least be accountable to us. And yea, it should be that simple!


I'm sure if we had all things working properly for us as a country, we would identify as Nigerians proudly anywhere we find ourselves. But you have no one to blame, we only reckon with Nigeria when we want to fill in our nationality not because we pledge allegiance.


Brotherhood has been shifted from nationality to ethnicity and tribe. You see Amuda and Alao helping each other neglecting Uche and Waziri. Afenifere they say is different from Arewa and Ohaneze. I laugh.


Isn't it a pity when youths do no longer believe in this country? Everyone is desperately seeking a means to migrate to another country. Fixing this land seems to take forever. As fixers are even being fired shots at. What's the essence of risking lives for a course that would be hissed at anyway?


Nigeria, though divided literarily can be united again.

When everyone does the right thing with the golden rule: Do unto others what you want them do to you'' 


Only with a stronger and louder voice can we win this battle and get ourselves the country of our dream. It's becoming a reality when we recognize it a fight of all and for all. 

It's not for the Yorubas

Not for the Igbos

Not even for the Hausas

It's for all of us as Nigerians


With this I challenge you to act values so we can have a country we can call ours.

Pseudointellectual 馃

It's good to have you here again馃槏 You are loved. Long time no vocabulary. I know scholars here may not really see those words as new nonetheless I'll still share cos what? I get coconut head. Lol So, many of us have actually been here at some points in our life especially when we're trying to really get along in a conversation and present ourselves as supposedly "intelligent."  Hmmm, I could still remember one of the embarrassing moments I had some years back while they were talking about network marketing like GNLD, oriflame, longrich, etc I was like practically linking it to telecommunication networks and everyone was like "no now, seems you're not getting what we are saying..." chai....my feet kinda dragged o Although, you may have tried to do that and not be caught that you're really ignorant of the subject matter. Such person that pretends to be so much knowledgeable when in actual sense he or she isn't is called a PSEUDOINTELLECTUAL.  ...

King of Thieves Agesink贸l茅 馃幀

Let me start with the slogan "Agesink贸l茅 kan omo re pupo - kuo beun na" So sorry if you don't understand yoruba or haven't seen the movie yet. I'll help by saying Agesink贸l茅 is literally translated as "He who rides horse to rob houses." Lol King of Thieves is an epic story of betrayal that revolves round a prince who was deprived of the throne by the king makers. He was set up as a thief by those he has solely trusted and faced the brutal punishment of death. In a quest for vengeance, he reincarnated and troubled the town violently by carting away goods even with no regards for human life. The movie is indeed a complete package from the casts to the props, the costume, the language, the directing, the clean production and post production.  You know, I just can't be wait to be told after seeing the paparazzi from the premiere and the thriller, mehn.... I became so much inquisitive as to what exactly the content was and can say I truly got the value fo...

Blood Sisters 馃幀

 Hey fam, Have you seen Blood sisters series on Netflix? I know the Nollywood critics would be like why the hype but calm down, it's high time we started embracing what our actors are creating so we can give both positive and negative honest criticisms that would help them do better. So I didn't want to write anything on this movie before y'all think that is it just movie review everytime. A friend also watched the movie and she just kept saying what she felt about the movie and then I just asked her to give it a shot. She hesitated at first but penned something down anyway. Kindly read up fam (Credit - AKADI MAYOWA ) Have you ever heard of the term bestie? you have one or seen duo call each other that? set awon partners in crime馃ぃ馃ぃ, bestie no be for mouth o, it's two friends that so much understand each other (as in they can read each other like a book) and can do anything I mean everything just to have each other's back, this is the case of Kemi and Sarah in Bloo...
