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.

THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CONCERNED PARTIES SHOULD GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS

Exactly a year today, the terror organization Hamas struck terror in the hearts of Israelis. Over 1200, mostly innocent people were murdered in cold blood in the most barbaric way. The evil wrecked by Hamas reminds us of the evil we are capable of as humans if we think there will not be any form of accountability. The attack is condemned in all of its forms. Such should never happen again. My heart goes out to families mourning dead family members, and those still waiting for their families taken hostage to return to them alive.   Since then, the Israeli army has unleashed terror of their own on Hamas, in the process killing so many innocent Palestinians in an attempt to exterminate Hamas, and their own terror continues, mostly on innocent Palestinians. Israel engaged in what some called genocide by cutting off water, food, power, internet, and major resources to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The world has condemned the way Israel is prosecuting the war because they have bee...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
