This is the one time I'm not happy to throw "I told you so" at people.
I knew nothing good will come from the presidency of a guy that claimed it's his turn, a guy that's used his influence to manipulate and sway elections all his political life.
But I was omo called ale by his slaves in 2023 for pointing these things out.
90% of your prayers can be answered by a working government.
Can remember the last time I prayed for certain things, it all just comes naturally.
Nigeria has to work , go get your voters card !
Men with barely 10 more yrs to Live are Borrowing Billions of $ with 40-50 yr Repayment Plans. This Old Men Steal the Loans & Spend it on BS. But the Masses Who will Use the rest of their Lives repaying the Loans LONG after this Men are Dead are Supporting them to Continue. 😩🇳🇬
Not a single sacrifice this President has made.
When the economy is hardest, he makes zero sacrifice and lives large.
Came into power and splurged on a new Jet, Yatch, mansion for VP, fleet of armored SUV, and billions for travel.
Has a big cabinet with some of the most incompetent ministers we have seen.
We now have an apartheid power supply system that has gotten worst. He goes off grid and splurges on solar.
Fuel prices are high he mouths the same worthless CNG plan and tells Nigerians to be grateful.
People are being killed in hundreds and lazily tweets 2 days later and when he manages go get himself to visit the victims, he addresses them at the airport.
Every other day, something is being named after him. No decorum or class. Just embracing and encouraging shocking levels of subserviency from the shameless political class.
Nigerians pay more for everything. A generation of young people are having their productive years wasted with no form of care or remorse.
I have benefited absolutely nothing from Tinubu’s government. He promises better future that requires sacrifices. Sacrifices he has shown no interest in making.
A leader should be an example. Make some sacrifices. Show you care.
I don’t respect it!
Again, you can draw a parallel between what impresses an average Nigerian and the type of society and leaders will have.
Not innovative thinking, empathic leadership or people focused policies but dirty, disgusting anti-progress politicking.
This is the problem with social media charity imo
Instead of being inspired to make things easier for other Samuels around them, everyone wants a bit of the clout. So more and more goes to one person instead of being spread around
This tweet rubs me the wrong way.
Back in 2013/14, when Nigeria’s tech scene was still taking shape, the economy was stable, the exchange rate hadn’t collapsed, and UX designers were still being called front-end designers, there were real opportunities many of us never got to touch because PayPal wasn’t accessible from Nigeria.
Not being on PayPal meant not paying for quality courses, not selling services easily, not plugging into the global creator and startup economy, and constantly operating with friction while the rest of the world compounded skills, capital, and networks.
Let’s call it what it really was: an infrastructure lockout.
And that lockout came with suspicion. Funds withheld. Countries quietly labelled high risk. Entire communities slowed down because a few global platforms decided we weren’t worth the complexity.
African fintechs eventually stepped in and built what PayPal wouldn’t. Paystack. Flutterwave. Wise. Grey. Systems created under pressure so people could finally participate in the global economy.
Now, when Africa is visibly digital, profitable, and impossible to ignore, PayPal decides it’s time to expand across Nigeria and the continent.
No, thank you!
This is delayed convenience disguised as inclusion.
Earlier access would have accelerated skills, businesses, exports, and an entire generation of builders. The cost of that absence is measured in years of lost momentum.
So yes, it feels late.
Very late.
Dear @PayPal, you’re about two decades too late.
We will not forgive you.
We most certainly will not forget.
