I one had a Korean factory worker as a friend. One day he came yelling "you guys have oil so why are you poor and not like Brunei or Qatar". I said because of corrupt politicians. He paused looked at me and with complete seriousness said "then report them to the police" 😂😂.

My only problem with this is that last year when I visited Nigeria, immigration office in Makurdi refused to let me into the premises because I wore shorts.

I was laughing when I made this Tweet but now that it's doing numbers and everyone from Africa to Indonesia can relate, I'm just sad. Sigh. NB: I had a lot of Indonesian friends while studying in Korea and when I contested for President of the International Students body they.

Chimamanda even tried. If it was a Tiv person that journalist wouldn't have loved the answer. I remember when the former DG of NTA Patrick Ityohegh was asked how come he could speak English so well. He replied that he'd learnt it while on the plane on his way. Reporter went mute.

I don't know any other country on Earth where over a hundred people will be murdered by terrorists and there won't be massive nation-halting protests the next day if not in the following hours. No one should have the right to kill humans at such a scale without consequences.

You people should continue shaa. The world where man = bad and woman = good will be a wonderful one to behold. This woman is clearly doing what you people claim would never happen in a world without men and all of sudden she is a man. Good luck to all I guess.

Nigeria is an amazing place tbh. INEC offices are getting burnt, no investigation will be done. No one will seek the truth. Not the media. Not the government. Not the people. What's the cost of the materials burnt? Who's paying for all that waste? Being Nigerian is a disability.

The bigger problem is that we will wank ourselves to orgasms over the Igbo apprenticeship system being superb and the biggest incubator in the world yet do nothing to scale it. Nigeria is akin to a catapult extended for 60 years and never once released. It's always just potential.

Woke up to the news of Peter Aboh's death. Peter, a final year student was slain IN HIS OWN HOME by herdsmen in Utonkon, Ado LGA. I'd like to think if this was me troves of protests would be going on nationwide. But who am I kidding? Nigerians only protest fuel price increase.

I have a theory: Engaging music is too real for people already living in the reality of poverty. They aren't seeking engagement in music, they're seeking an escape, music that'll transport them to some fantasy perhaps even distract them and release dopamine - hence pangolo music.

Tiv people have a saying that loosely translates to "It's not because the house is burnt that the kids are playing in ashes. They have always wanted to play in it.". In other words vote who you want with your chest and stop with the "it's because Peter Obi's supporters are XYZ.".
