When Peace Becomes A Privilege


I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that we still have the whole of year 2026 and part of 2027 to continue living this way. While prepping this piece, I remembered a song that was on the lips of almost every Nigerian barely six months into this present government (video attached beneath).

I couldn't help but ask myself, were we really complaining about Mr. BAT then, if only the future us had seen today, if only our 2023 selves got a peep into today to see that the order of the day has become kidnapping and terrorism and it is spreading like a virus at this point. These terrorists are not the regular terrorists, they are the content creator type of terrorists who update the country on their trips and yet we have the military doing nothing but standing by the same dangerous roadsides to collect common 200 Naira from struggling Nigerians who are trying to earn a living from transportation…Stay with me.

Can we even talk about this country under Mr. BAT’s regime and not talk about how people, students, especially of the higher institutions, have to question the worth of stepping out to go have fun, attend classes, go for their business, etc. because the thought of "Shey I for no just use my money chop?” would always hit them. Is this really a life? Even if one decides to choose food over his business or education, whatever the case may be. Isn't it diabolical that the highest currency in a country cannot afford a meal? Back in 2023,you could afford:

Egg:#400

Tomato and pepper:#200

Onions:#50

Rice:#400

Maggi:#30

Curry and thyme:#100

Sachet of groundnut oil:#120

You could at least prepare a course meal for yourself but let's not talk about family people or when you wanted to eat like a typical Nigerian and I mean our variety of swallow foods and mouth-watering and delicious soups. 

I'm sorry but aren't we going to talk about the health sector? Day in day out, week in week out, month in month out, we have countless citizens watch their loved ones lose their lives due to the very poor health infrastructure in the country and how about those with emergency cases? How about women who get into labor?? Situations like these make me grateful to health practitioners who take it as a point of duty to post health tips to the public.

 

And lastly, I have a question for Mr.BAT. What exactly was the removal of fuel subsidy for? Because maybe if fuel wasn’t as expensive as it is right now, food wouldn’t be as expensive and transportation wouldn’t be so expensive that I have to question whether or not to go for lectures.

    We must continue to hold our leaders accountable……for their past promises, their actions now, and the choices they make that will shape our nearest future.

    May God help us. BAT is taking Nigeria backward instead of forward... In 2027, we will fight for our lives because if we don't fight, we won't get it right. Let them try to rig the election in 2027. Anyone who wants to rig the election for BAT comes 2027 should prepare he/she because it’s going to be bloody election, not the usual ones we normally have in Nigeria. In 2027, it’s going to be war against the criminals who call themselves leaders of our country. May God never return BAT to Nigeria in 2027. Even though he didn't win the 2023 election, he rigged his way into the office. INEC, Yakubu, and that useless man called himself Buhari allowed him to rigged his way into the office. It will never go well for Yakubu and Buhari, wherever they are, alive or dead. Those two criminals sold Nigeria to the highest bidder.

To 2026🥂

You see, I usually laugh to myself when I hear people talk about new year resolutions. It sounds somewhat unserious to me and I’d like us to understand something… so long as nothing extraordinary or supernatural happens to mark a new year, then it’s just another new day we celebrate based on our calculations (the calendar) and if indeed you really need to act upon a new resolution, you really don’t have to wait till “a new year”. But in as much as not everyone would agree with this, I’d like to put you through on how to go about your new year resolution(s): First, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BIG: when most people are setting their new year resolutions, they often tend to ignore small goals and aim for way bigger ones, unknowing to them that small wins lead to even bigger ones. When you choose to overlook the small goals, which in some cases, may be stepping stones to achieve your bigger goals, you tend to not achieve the goals you set which would leave you wondering how and why. That is why...

SUICIDAL ELIMINATION

I happen to be a person who can't comprehend suicide. That a person has the guts to not only get the thought of it but also act upon the thought overwhelms me and it is why I would always try to make people understand that there is a huge difference between mere sadness and depression... reference to my "you are not depressed, you are just sad" post. I'd say depression is a very severe form of sadness caused by a lot of *REAL LIFE* happenings to a person.  You see, a person thinking of suicide and acting upon it wouldn't or doesn't rather, wish to die. They look for a way to escape the unbearable pain and suffering they go through and in the absence of any, they find death as the ONLY escape route. Deep down, there is always the wish for another alternative but then, studies show that hopelessness is a very strong predictor of suicide.  In a situation where I'm in a race and suddenly experience muscle fatigue for a few seconds, I have two options on my min...

FAITH OR LIFE

  Sometime ago, I think published an article on religious bondage and I felt fulfilled speaking out on such controversial topic because it really used to piss me off… but up until some days ago, where a woman was trendy due to the fact that she happens to be under the shackles of her belief and her fellow believers. (Story time) Apparently, she had been sick a while ago, and rather than using a medical method to treat herself, she opted for a “traditional” means. This traditional means made her health get worse to the extent of having a very huge sore on her breast. She then decided to come online (on X, formerly twitter) to ask for assistance (medical and maybe financial). Being a person a lot of X users knew, due to the fact she was a real and legit hustler, about 30 million naira was raised for her health issues within 3 days… everyone really wanted her to get out of the sick bed and continue being AUNTY ESTHER.  First of all, protocols had to be observed and a form of cons...
