My worries about the PVC concert...

 

The EU is right behind the PVC concert, trying to help the youth to be actively involved in the election process but have we planned well enough? (Photo credit: Falz)

I saw a video of the PVC concert at TBS and I worry a lot about our priorities. While I commend the drive of the opinion leaders in trying to make sure that more youths participate in the forthcoming election, the method is questionable and it might give birth to another crisis on its own.

I saw a video of a situation at TBS that will most likely result in a stampede, if not properly managed, lives will be lost and lots of people will be injured; the government will pin the lives on the youth and the youths will find ways to switch the narrative to blame the government… There’s only one loser.

Each time I remember how badly we managed EndSars, I cringe at a repeat of it especially when the advantage is with us; the goal of the PVC concert is to ensure more youths take the coming election seriously but why are they registering at the venue of the concert?

The social media amplification of the concert was enough to get interested attendees to register ahead of today, the registration point should have been taken far away from the venue of the concert. Whatever happens with the crowd that I saw, which already overwhelmed the registration point would be linked to the concert and who’s to blame?

The latest news is that folks are having fun at the concert and that is good to hear, but those that want to attend the concert but do not have voters card have to register at a point and that point is overcrowded, what is the plan for that?

My worry is simple: this coward government will seek all ways possible to nail the youths ahead of the election, they will still use many of us against us (standard practice) only that we don’t know who they would be but trust me… Many of them are currently shouting and jumping at the PVC concert.

    In as much as I support the drive. I share your narrative about the government pinning whatever happens on the youth. We have to be very careful.

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
