Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

 Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her.

What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu was told to her face that she would be impregnated by a Senator (Dino) if she was not careful. This is 2025 for God's sake, why are some people behaving like they are in the jungle. This is beyond disgraceful. The longer this lingers, the more disgrace it brings to Akpabio and Nigerian men.

Another sad point is a former Senator from the South West who said Senator Natasha's problem is her beauty. Wow! so, she should hide because she is beautiful and not serve her people. This woman is a lioness. She conquered the almighty ex-governor Yahaya Bello who defeated and clipped Dino Melaye's wings in Kogi State. Senator Akpabio will lose this one. He has poked the wrong lioness.

Akpabio is innocent until proven guilty. However, he is acting as if he is guilty because of the speed at which the investigation was run, and the lack of transparency in the process. It lost all credibility in its absolute terms.

This is 2025, and all forms of sexual harassment that objectify women should stop. Those whose eyes do not stay in one place when they see a pretty face should use a padlock to hold their thing and get a special blindfold when a pretty face is around. Natasha will serve her constituency before our very eyes, and its proceeds shall benefit all Nigerians. The Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mill she is fighting for will be active and functional. She will live to win this battle and other battles for ordinary Nigerians. Enough of this nonsense sexist and disgraceful behavior.

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...

U.S. SECRETLY BANNED MANY VISA CATEGORIES FOR NIGERIANS

  Secretly, the U.S. government has paused the issuance of OPT (Optional Practical Training - temporary work permit) to Nigerian students. They have also ceased awarding new student visas to Nigerians with full scholarships. They did this for several other visa categories, including F1 , asylum , and naturalization . It is not that you cannot apply; you can; they just will not process your visa. The reasoning behind this remains a mystery, other than the fact that Nigeria is a nation of concern. No Nigerian has carried out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil or anywhere outside their country... Some relate this to the non-cooperation of President Tinubu 's administration with the current U.S. government in making Nigeria a dumping ground for undocumented migrants. Ghanaians continue to enjoy access to all U.S. visas. The disheartening thing is that this ban/pause/whatever also extends to sponsorship of siblings and several other visa categories... A new executive order, a few days ago...
