The lies we know🌓



They knew we know the truth but they still tell us the truth we know is a lie. Who are they? Nigerian government apparently.


CNN released video of what transpired at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020 and it was denied by our able Minister of Information, Mr Lai. I'll say well done sir!


It was denied ahbi, the denial of the masaccre should have followed a video of what they called the truth about the incidence.


I was expecting a shocking revelation of protesters at the toll gate who were just singing national anthem and waving the flag all through but I couldn't find it.


I was expecting a total denial of DJ switch's Instagram live video that it was probably at a movie location or thereabout.


I was expecting the federal government to say those visited at the hospital by the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwoolu were victim of landslide and not the Lekki tollgate shootings.


Yea, maybe I should add this too. I was also expecting them to say the officers of the Nigerian Army were only parading and ensuring nothing bad happens to the protesters.


All seem otherwise. They only denied the investigation conducted by such a  reputable media with mere speech. I could remember a saying goes thus; ''actions speak louder than words.''


We would have discarded the report by CNN if the Nigerian government had countered it with a video. Which they don't even have any proof whatsoever.


How did we get here?


Upon all the videos seen online that black Tuesday night/midnight of Wednesday, the pictures of blood stained flags and shouts of family members who haven't seen those who stepped out from their house to protest, they still said it's fake.


Wait, the government argued no one had died, that the military fired shots in the sky, to cap it all, that there was no killings at all.


Crazeclone in one of his comedy skits said ''papa why are you lieing?'' I also want to ask Alhaji too, why the lies??? It's very  wrong na.


Behold incredulous statements!


What a wonder how they thought we believed snake actually swallowed 36million naira. 


All these lies are not necessary. Tell us the truth and we'll believe. We'll be angry but we'll respect you.


We're fed up of lies that sound so absurd to our ears. It makes us look like fools and dummies to the International bodies.


It's a slap a foreign body will help shed light on what is happening in our dear great nation.


If you're not tired of hearing big fat lies, I am. Trust for the Nigerian government is far dead. When they tell us rain is falling, we'll have to go out and confirm. Skepticism about their every move.


Gosh! Nigeria is a joke.


Let me take a glass of water, I'll be back here next week.


Virtual hugs🤗🤗🤗

Something big🔘

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress ...

Overcoming inferiority 🤳

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
