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.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

The untapped gold mine in Nigerian Tourism

ALL of these countries have something in common: Egypt (Pyramid; Nile), Kenya (Games; Nile), Greece (Ancient Ruins), Israel (Bible sites), China (Wall), USA (Grand Canyon, Rockies), Spain, France (Eiffel), Morocco (Marrakesh), Canada (Rockies), Australia (Kangaroo), German (Wall of Berlin), United Kingdom (Palaces), Saudi-Arabia (Mecca-Medina), Madagascar (Forest of knives), South Africa; Central America - Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman Island, St. Lucia, Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, Mexico (Beaches and exotic sites), Dubai (High towers, Real Estate), India (Medical care, IT, Taj Mahal), etc. These are some of the best tourist destinations in the world. Some of them have a far worse security situation than Nigeria. In 2017, Morocco, our African brother saw over 11.3 million visitors; South Africa with their violent crime rates, saw 10.3 million, Egypt saw 8.3 million, Cote D'Ivoire our neighbor in West Africa saw 1.8 million. Botswana, a country of 2.3 million people...
