<span class="html-content"><p>The title is throwing you off, right?</p>
<p>You're probably thinking, "so after all these grammar she has been teaching, she still dropped a mega bomb?"</p>
<p>I did not my dears😁😁🤣🤣, I just want to know where your head is at when it comes to politics and pushing for a better future</p>
<p>Oh you so were not expecting that😎😎😎</p>
<p>Let us dive in then!!!</p>
<p>We are well aware of the Nigerian political scene and the clamour by different sides to make the well revered presidential seat.</p>
<p>This has seen the nation being so involved in the daily happenings more than ever</p>
<p>A spike in the registration for PVCs(Permanent Voters Card) is a good sign, maybe a pointer that people are really ready to fight for and take back their country</p>
<p>While this is very commendable, what are the opportunity costs?</p>
<p>You're confused, so let me break it down</p>
<p>Nigerians have thrived on a corruption-pushing environment for decades</p>
<p>If you believe you haven't been a recipient of a corrupt society, then maybe you need to take a closer look</p>
<p>Those queues you jump because you know the bank manager, the store clerk, or any front desk officer, the petrol attendant and so on</p>
<p>Those privileges you get because your uncle or aunty knows someone in one office</p>
<p>The redeployment you pay for because you want to serve in another state</p>
<p>The favours naturally bestowed on you because your parents are affluent</p>
<p>The price segmentation you practice because this person "no too get money(does not have money) or "this person go buy plenty so make I increase price"</p>
<p>The cheating that occurs because "this person no sabi how e dey go", especially when someone is new to a place or environment</p>
<p>The unnecessary inflation of landlord prices at their discretion</p>
<p>The payment for admission slots because you really cannot be bothered with letting your child get in on their merit</p>
<p>I could go on about the very cankerworm eating into the fabric of our corruption ridden society</p>
<p>If indeed, we make the right decision at the polls, are we ready to abide by law and order?</p>
<p>Are we ready to let go of the privileges corruption allowed?</p>
<p>Are we really ready to uphold the constitutional independence?</p>
<p>Is the media finally going to be an independent, incorruptible weapon or would it continually be the death of us?</p>
<p>Are we going to stop praising lackluster lifestyles that reflect nothing of nationalism?</p>
<p>Are we going to stop godfatherism and putting people on a pedestal they did not earn?</p>
<p>Is the workplace going to stop being a pressure cooker and an actual positive culture-centric environment?</p>
<p>Are business owners going to have seamless processes in getting registered?</p>
<p>Are we ready to stop using the police as personal bodyguards or errand boys when we please?</p>
<p>These and more are questions that flow through my mind daily?</p>
<p>Are we really ready?</p>
<p>If we are, that's great but I don't see the evidence</p>
<p>Until then, ask yourself if you are ready? </p>
<p>By the way, I read a story of how sim registration centers affiliated with major Telecommunication companies use people's information to play dirty games </p>
<p>Find the full story on @ijeomadaisy on Instagram</p>
<p>It's appalling and I urge us to be safe when we go to register our sims</p>
<p>That was part of the inspiration for this post.</p>
<p>Much love 😘😘</p>

I do accept tips for my written and vocal litanies
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
