Last night to today was something else. My heart has not broken like this in a long time. I don't think we're meant to see so much pain up close. Feel like we need a group hug lol. Very tired. Anyway tomorrow is another day! And hopefully a better one for all of us

"Be quick to shut down any mention of tribal divides". We are stronger together.

Don't lose focus, people like Adamu Garba will like to divide us using tribal and religious issues. We must not allow them#EndSARS #NIGERIAPREVAILS

The House of Representatives is an essential plank in our socio-political and economic life, as the centre for policy design. It has been designated with the power to change our social realities by shaping policies that inspire positive metrics in our economy and engender life transformation for Nigerians. To get this country to work, we need strong and credible people in every position, at every level of our political strata. We need representatives who will think more holistically about their role in the economy, society and the broader environment, and propose policies that can produce verifiable impact on the economy, environment and the society at large. #ANN #YouthSpring

At least, #Optimism is better than #sufferhead

@APCNigeria packaged PMB well, presented him to us as SAVIOR, he looked good, we fell for it, now we have fallen into the trick, hard to come out. @OfficialPDPNig is now packaging Atiku as the MESSIAH, most of us are already falling for it. Something is wrong with us, walahi.

— Agentblancovic (@blancbeatz) October 19, 2018

With all due respect @atiku Nigerians are preparing to vote you not because they believe any of your promises or see you as messiah. They just want @MBuhari out that's all.

A healthy dose of pessimism

In Why I'm Not Proud To Call Buhari My President, Femi Aribisala discusses the flaws in the March/April 2015 elections especially that the distribution of voter cards / PVCs and PVC-accredited voters, and in the first place of census figures, is rigged.   
He also discusses the limitations of the Buhari product that has been advertised as having answers to security problems and economic problems.  Why has the incoming president not repented from, apologized for, his undemocratic past?

Essentially, a lot of ink has been spent on the bright side.  If you want to think on the dark side of the 2015 elections and the victories of the APC party and presidential candidate, read the longish article.

Not enough Dignity, nor enough Respect

We have again reached an independence anniversary and a chance to reflect on who we are. 

So President Goodluck Jonathan said, "[31] But again, I can reassure you that Nigeria’s place on the world stage today is strong and safe, and it is certainly a place of dignity and respect. We must continue to build on this by remaining a nation and a people committed to ideals, the noblest humanitarian values, and the rule of law."  Read full speech here.

Sometimes a sportsperson or team shines, a film grips, a songster shares, a brainiac leads, a soldier cares, the world can't close its eyes to the great stuff we're made of, and our dream of dignity and respect becomes a reality.  I crave more of such times.

From bedroom supporters and kitchen overseers to full participants in society

Although there are over a dozen women in the top rungs of political leadership in the Federal Government of Nigeria, not even one state governor is female, nor has ever a president or leading presidential candidate been female.  Women and men of Nigeria, are we ready to show the world how gender equality is done?

Disappointingly, even in university student union elections, can you believe that many believe the president should be a guy, with the deputy/vice/assistant post going to a girl?  If only I was a girl in such a school :)
