The hashtags #30DaysRantChallenge and #TinubuIsATerriblePresident are currently trending on social media, largely sparked by the viral video of an NYSC corps member.

The Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps member, Ushie Uguamaye expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions, lamenting that hard work seems futile amid financial struggles.

She openly criticised Tinubu, calling him a “terrible leader,” and questioned the government’s efforts to alleviate citizens’ suffering. Additionally, she described Lagos State as a “smelling state,” complaining about its odour and poor living conditions.

Shortly after her video went viral, Uguamaye claimed she began receiving threats, allegedly from NYSC officials, threatening her into silence and pressuring her to delete the content. In response, Nigerians who shared her sentiments rallied behind her, creating various hashtags to amplify her message and encourage more people to speak out.

As if to say, “You can’t silence us all.” Countless videos have flooded social media under the trending hashtags, each filled with frustration and despair. These hashtags have seemingly opened the floodgates for Nigerians to voice their grievances like never before, but is anyone listening?

An X user in his own submission asked Nigerian leaders if they are not ashamed of themselves. He criticized them for being the only government that would board a private jet with 200 delegates just to beg for financial aid from Western counterparts.

Another X user highlighted the extreme poverty in Nigeria, stating that people are no longer just begging for money, they are now begging for food. He shared a striking example, explaining that while dining at a restaurant, it’s now common for strangers to approach, pleading for a meal.

He likened Tinubu’s government to the saying, “You go dey beat pikin, dey say make pikin no cry.” He went further to call the government an evil one.

Nigerians are not even mincing words. They are calling out the President’s full government name, labelling him a failure, a terrible leader who is tribalistic and bigoted—a president who stole the election!

One deeply frustrated Nigerian went as far as visiting the market to compare current food prices with previous ones, proving that the NYSC corps member wasn’t lying. He questioned why she was being threatened into silence for simply speaking the truth.

Tweet after tweet, Nigerians are calling out Tinubu and his government—one that seems more determined to plunge the people into deeper hardship. With a 500% rise in food prices, the fall of the naira, and skyrocketing petrol and diesel costs, are citizens expected to suffer in silence?

These hashtags serve as a clarion call, a rallying point for Nigerians to voice their frustrations. At the very least, if we have nothing else, we still have freedom of speech. The truth is, not everyone can japa, so we must continue to speak out, to demand better, and to actively push for change.

Despite this collective outcry, the silence from those in power is deafening. So we could just be wailing in a vacuum or perhaps this is the beginning of a revolution, who knows?

As we reach the 18th day of Ramadan, the blessed month is gradually drawing to a close, but there is still much to gain from the spiritual nourishment it provides. Each day of fasting brings an opportunity to reflect, grow closer to Allah, and strengthen our faith.

Fasting is not just a physical act but a spiritual exercise that purifies the soul and deepens our relationship with our Creator. Today, let us seek Allah’s guidance, reflect on our journey, and continue to increase our faith through prayers, duas, and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Ramadan day 18 prayers

A powerful prayer for today focuses on seeking strength, sincerity, and increased faith:

“O Allah, grant me the strength to remain steadfast in my fast, sincerity in my worship, and patience in my trials. Increase me in faith, purify my heart, and help me draw closer to You. Guide me to do what is pleasing to You, and keep me firm on the path of righteousness. Ameen.”

Dua is a means to communicate with Allah and seek His mercy. Here is a meaningful dua for the 18th day of Ramadan:

“اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمْسِكُونَ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ، وَقَرِّبْنِي فِيهِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَغَفْرَانِكَ، وَاجْنِبْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَفِتَنِهِ، بِمَرْحَمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.”

“O Allah, make me among those who hold fast to the Quran and act upon it. Draw me closer to Your mercy and forgiveness, and keep me safe from the whispers of Shaytan and his trials. O Most Merciful, accept my supplications. Ameen.”

Hadith of the day

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reminds us of the profound impact of good deeds and sincerity in Ramadan:

May Allah accept our fasts, increase our faith, and grant us His mercy and blessings during this blessed month. Ameen.

Day 19 Tahajjud (Qiyamul Layl)

Tahajjud is a deeply powerful prayer that brings us closer to Allah, especially in the final ten days of Ramadan. It is a time when the heart is at peace, and our supplications are answered.

Allah mentions the importance of night prayer in Surah Al-Isra (17:79):

“And rise from sleep for prayer in the night, as an additional prayer for you; it may be that your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy position.”

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

“The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer (Tahajjud).” – (Sahih Muslim 1163)

As we prepare for another day of fasting, let us commit to observing Tahajjud on Day 19 and seek Allah’s mercy and blessings during this sacred time.

How to Perform Tahajjud:

  • The best time for Tahajjud is in the last third of the night, before Suhoor.

  • You may pray a minimum of two rakats and as many as 12 rakats, including Witr.

  • After your rakats, make personal duas, asking for forgiveness, mercy, and guidance from Allah.

May Allah grant us the strength to wake up for Tahajjud, forgive our sins, and grant us the highest level of paradise. Ameen.

Why Nigerians don’t deserve the luxury of protein or electricity

Published

on

Protein deficiency should be an outlawed term. Did Nigerians not tell you that a good meal excludes eggs and fish? And electricity will only make, you guessed right, idle brains even, what, idler.

When the water we drink fills us up so well, even eggs would beg to be left out of the mix. Did I hear you ask for cold water? Where do you think you are—Iceland? If anything, you should be grateful we don’t import that. Yes, water.

Our coconut heads won’t rest. That’s why we want to produce and export iceblocks to the rest of the world. We know we’ll finally get respect from them if we do that.

Traveling soon with a Nigerian passport? Easy. Who needs a visa when our grand dreams of stable electricity will remain just that—a dream? Stay home and enjoy the darkness.

Is it just me, or are mosquitoes in hiding these days? Guess they’ve heard we might start using them for protein. Can’t blame them. Nigerians know how to recognise a good thing.

Look around: tech entrepreneurs are living the good life. Who cares if regular protein is becoming a luxury?

Success. Miracle. Hope. Nigerians can’t suffer; our names won’t even permit us to.

Adura. Pamilerin. Gozie. There’s power in the tongue; we believe it, so our names carry it.

Adura’s hunger? Just a minor discomfort on the path to a promising future filled with politicking for goodwill from the corridors of power.

Pamilerin and Gozie? Those ones can sort themselves out with alternative power sources.
