I was at Idu Station, Abuja for the 6pm train and met a huge crowd awaiting to purchase their tickets some of whom were there since morning and many before 3pm. They were told tickets have finished, in other words, reserved for some invisible invincible persons.

It appears we have all forgotten that the same Nasiru Elrufai went on his knees begging Kogi people to re-elect Yahaya Bello; begged Kaduna people to elect Uba Sani; begged Nigerians to elect Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu. He is not the victim here, we are.

I have enormous respect for Dan Bello who is using his platform and reputation to expose the ills of our society and engaging in conversations on issues that matter. He is an OG ranter that says it without fear or favour.

Someone just called me from Ondo that his father accidentally sent recharge card digits to my phone pleading that I return it. I immediately texted him back the digits and the old man called back and showered me with blessings. We can change things in our own little ways.
You are quick to post videos of Sheikh Albani and Sheikh Jafar on every issue but won’t post their videos talking about the permissibility of protests. How convenient.
It’s encouraging to see Dan Ali, Dalung, Shittu and Dambazau not returning. Malami and Ngige too should have been replaced. Fashola’s 3-in-1 Ministry should be separated for efficiency. The President should also not hold the Petroleum Ministry.

I believe we are all under an obligation to make the North better for whether we like it or not it is the only home we have. The most potent tool for this betterment therefore is education.

Northern Nigeria is one of the most populated regions in the world at the same time one of the regions with the highest rates of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy. All we need to make our enormous population to our advantage, like China did, is education.

The corruption and malpractice going on in these train stations is very disturbing. Tickets are sold through the backdoor, reserved for big guns at the expense of buyers and sold at outrageously exorbitant prices feeding on the desperation of the poor buyers. Enough is enough!

Abuja-Kaduna express way ought to be the safest and most secure road in the country considering how it links the Federal Capital to the Northern capital where almost every who-is-who resides or has at least a house but to our greatest dismay it has become a haven for kidnappers.
And to those clerics that hawked Muslim-Muslim ticket to their followers and who have suddenly gone mute. The country under your President has signed a deal permitting LGBT in your sacred country. If you still remember the way to your pulpit then go back and start talking.
I personally prefer travelling by road but we that is no longer an option. Kaduna-Abuja highway has become a haven for kidnappers so we are compelled to helplessly follow the train in order not to get abducted. I couldn’t count the number of soldiers I saw on that train.
Ironic.
The narrative of not having enough money to educate a significant percentage of the over 13 million out-of-school kids in the North is absurd and it must be set aside. A million kids can be educated with the annual earnings of a Senator. We must

Since the government has shown a mediocre commitment to improving the condition of public education in Nigeria it is now our job to remind it of its mandate and constitutional obligation. We are doing just that.

We began to protest by blocking the entrance of the station until whoever is in charge of selling tickets comes out to explain to us why they have refused to sell tickets to these people. Before you knew it the whole station was echoing the “SOLIDARITY FOREVER” song, young & old.

Well said. However, these Young Turks will continue to speak out and expose the ills and injustice of a grossly unfair and oppressive society until things get better. Call it idealism or delusion; the diction just as their decorum doesn’t matter.
Personally, I admire this new breed of Young Turks in Arewa’s political discourse. I don’t have to subscribe to their idealism and, sometimes, expansive delusions, but they are a breath of fresh air. A society plugged into sycophancy is one wired to fail, and so I do not see them

What we are advocating for is not just having government renovatte schools and then that’s all. No. By all means, renovate the schools but make sure you provide adequate teachers that are well paid and provide the materials needed for running the schools.

Kindly read mention and retweet until

I think the poor in Nigeria voted Buhari not because they believe in his capability to change Nigeria but for his capability to drag down the rich from their mountain of luxury to the valley of poverty. Now that he's not doing that the frustration is apparent.
Is Bakalori dam drying up? Bandits operating in the area are making it difficult for fishermen, farmers & others to access the dam. For Mafara, Maradun & Bakura LGAs residents, this is one of the impact of the banditry crisis.

Garba Shehu and Lai Muhammad have made it a habit to make gaffes and stir unnecessary controversies. These things don't help our situations. The President really needs to fix his broken speakers.
Shots were fired at the only train left to transport desperate commuters to and fro Abuja-Kaduna. That is gradually becoming unsafe too. Their failure to secure the roads is now coming back to haunt us all yet again.
