Happy Independence Day, my Nigeria.

My brain didn't comprehend what my eyes were taking in after the half Mexican beat the half Nigeria be to clinch those belts.
Since the 'big baby' drugs bust, I just knew these guys were up to something.
Well, there'll always be another time to reclaim lost glory - but this story, is one big irony. STRONG.

Reminiscent of the lynchings of the 1800's and 1900's in America, and many other inhumane acts of recklessness in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Nigerian have taken theirs in a another dimension that defies logic. This week, another person has been burnt to death on the assumption of being a robber. The young man was at a bus stop when a mob jumped him, called him "thief!" bludgeoned him,  threw car tyres around him doused him with petrol, and burned him to ashes.

Cases of such barbarism are not alien, many times premised on the incompetence of  law enforcement agencies, people would rather effect their own kind of justice rather than wait out civil jurisprudence. SAD.

#REVOLUTIONNOW #TAKEITBACK

Nigerians attempt to wake up their sleeping consciences, this day August 5, 2020.

Sometimes silence is the only way to reply noisemakers.

The killing fields of Nigeria...

A certain gubernatorial candidate died after the election umpire declared the result of voting inconclusive. Then came a woman spiritualist that claimend to have powers to raise the dead...the rest is history.

Everything points to labour as contractions become more frequent and less spaced. Awaiting delivery...

It's almost 4am WAT and I'd been fanning my two-year-old daughter since 3am after the power went off. Then the standing fan came on and she dreamily, excitedly said, "yyyyytttt!" Every Nigerian child knows how to scream SOME-THING whenever power is restored. It's a big problem Nigerians grapple with, have been grappling with since forever. A country of close to two hundred million people can only generate four thousand megwatt of electricity - only when the grid hasn't collapsed, which is quite frequent. DARKNESS. SHAME.

Eighty Nigerians on fraud charges in America. Twenty-three Nigerians facing beheading in Saudi Arabia for drug peddling.
Ominous clouds hanging over Nigeria's image abroad - not as though it rained anything positive over there but these recent numbers raise a number of concerns about the image of Nigerians among comity of nations. SHAME.

In Nigeria it is not uncommon for the Police to rough people up, small people, folks who are small enough to get caught in their notorious web of vindictiveness. If you are not BIG enough or don't know BIG people then you likely to be in for unpleasant experiences; especially if you are not in the good books of the vagabond in power.

So Small Doctor, a popular hip hop artist got roughed up by the police and paraded like a common criminal, but unknown to those that made him lie on the road, harassed and effectively disgraced, he is a police ambassador. they claim he used a rifle to threaten a police warden on duty.

These people leave the mighty criminals that have wrecked that country to pieces, plundered and impoverished 190 million people to go chasing adrenaline junkies. SAD.

It's the most difficult thing for a parent to bury a child.

Nigeria's administrators at all tiers or arms of government continue to take their people for fools, they dole out ridiculous pittances and them "startup packs" or "empowerment", more of the later; and for those sensible enough to see through these deceptive acts, they decline to be part of the hypocrisy.
Those tin gods live in such opulence only Pharaohs, Caesars, Emperors and Kings were or are known for. But they convey poverty wrapped in elaborate ceremonial distribution programmes to those too weak to refuse their disguised malevolence. Someday Nigeria's young folk will arise to seize the reigns of governance and permanently keep those vagabonds occupying Olympus out of power

COVID-19 is no respected of person or status.

Many young people roaming the many cities of that country called  may have been better employed in productive enterprise in another dimension. It is painful to see many wasting away while those vagabonds in power continue living large on the commonwealth of the people.

As far as that country is concerned, the love of politics isn't different from the politics of love. Nigeria, infamously described as a **** hole country by  President Donald J. Trump, mirrors everything illogical about anything anyone might think of. And that is really sad.

Happy Love Day

For the foreseeable future, people will be in lockdown around the world. And the only way to survive, fully functional, is to come to terms with reality as COVID19 deals the world a mortal blow.
